技术领域Technical field

本申请涉及通信领域，并且更具体地，涉及一种标识低功耗设备的方法和装置。The present application relates to the field of communications and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for identifying low power devices.

背景技术Background technique

唤醒射频(Wake-up Radio，WUR)，又称为唤醒接收机(Wake-up Receiver，WUR)，是指终端设备在配置传统主接口(main radio)或者又称为主模块的基础上，引入一个WUR接口。主模块通常处于关闭状态，只有当收到来自WUR模块的触发信号时，主模块才会激活，然后通过主模块与基站进行数据通信。第三代移动通信(The 3rd Generation Partnerships Project，3GPP)标准组织已引入低功耗的WUR，以降低终端设备的功耗。可以被终端设备的WUR接收并解码的信号称为唤醒信号(Wakeup Signal)，唤醒信号的接收和译码远比传统主接口信号简单，因此终端设备采用WUR接收信号相比使用主模块接收信号能够降低功耗。Wake-up Radio (WUR), also known as Wake-up Receiver (WUR), is a terminal device that is introduced on the basis of a traditional main interface or a main module. A WUR interface. The main module is usually in the off state. Only when the trigger signal from the WUR module is received, the main module is activated, and then the main module communicates with the base station. The 3rd Generation Partnerships Project (3GPP) standards organization has introduced low-power WUR to reduce the power consumption of terminal devices. The signal that can be received and decoded by the WUR of the terminal device is called a wake-up signal. The receiving and decoding of the wake-up signal is much simpler than the traditional main interface signal. Therefore, the terminal device can receive the signal by using the WUR compared to the main module. Reduce power consumption.

对于配置了WUR接口的终端设备，当基站没有数据向终端设备发送且终端设备也没有数据传输时，终端设备的主通信接口处于关闭状态，而WUR接口处于激活状态或间歇性激活状态。当基站有数据向终端设备发送时，首先向终端设备的WUR接口发送唤醒帧，以便使终端设备唤醒自己的主通信接口。其中，唤醒帧应当包含终端设备的标识ID，只有终端设备检测到唤醒帧的目标ID和自身匹配的时候才唤醒自己的主通信接口。For a terminal device configured with a WUR interface, when the base station does not send data to the terminal device and the terminal device does not have data transmission, the primary communication interface of the terminal device is in a closed state, and the WUR interface is in an activated state or an intermittent activation state. When the base station has data to send to the terminal device, the wake-up frame is first sent to the WUR interface of the terminal device, so that the terminal device wakes up its own main communication interface. The wake-up frame should include the identifier ID of the terminal device, and only the terminal device wakes up its own main communication interface when it detects that the target ID of the wake-up frame matches itself.

因为WUS的调制阶数低、可靠性要求高，所以唤醒帧所能携带的信息量可能有限。此外，在多设备唤醒的应用场景中，唤醒帧还可能要携带多个设备的ID。故而，较长的设备标识可能不适合在唤醒帧中携带。Because WUS has low modulation order and high reliability requirements, the amount of information that can be carried by a wake-up frame may be limited. In addition, in an application scenario where multiple devices wake up, the wake-up frame may also carry the IDs of multiple devices. Therefore, longer device identification may not be suitable for carrying in the wake-up frame.

发明内容Summary of the invention

本申请提供一种通信方法和通信装置，并提供了一种低功耗设备短标识，能够标识低功耗设备，从而减少标识低功耗设备所需要的比特数，同时，该低功耗设备短标识相比于完整长标识所节省出来的空间，使得多设备唤醒帧的设计更为灵活，能够适应唤醒帧承载比特数有限的特点。The present application provides a communication method and communication device, and provides a low power consumption device short identifier capable of identifying a low power consumption device, thereby reducing the number of bits required to identify a low power consumption device, and at the same time, the low power consumption device The space saved by the short identifier compared to the full long identifier makes the design of the multi-device wake-up frame more flexible and can adapt to the limited number of bits of the wake-up frame.

第一方面，提供了一种通信方法，应用于包括终端设备和网络设备的通信***中，该终端设备包括唤醒射频接口和主接口，该唤醒射频接口用于产生触发信号，该触发信号用于激活该主接口，该主接口用于该终端设备和该网络设备之间的通信，该终端设备处于移动性管理实体MME控制的多个追踪区域TA中的至少一个TA内，该方法包括：In a first aspect, a communication method is provided, which is applied to a communication system including a terminal device and a network device, the terminal device includes a wake-up radio frequency interface and a main interface, and the wake-up radio frequency interface is configured to generate a trigger signal, where the trigger signal is used for The main interface is used for communication between the terminal device and the network device, and the terminal device is in at least one of the plurality of tracking areas TA controlled by the mobility management entity MME. The method includes:

该网络设备通过该唤醒射频接口向该终端设备发送第一消息，该第一消息用于触发该唤醒射频接口产生该触发信号，且该第一消息携带第一标识，该第一标识是该终端设备在第一TA列表包括的TA的控制范围内的标识，该第一TA列表包括该多个TA中的至少一个TA，且该第一标识的长度小于该第二标识的长度，该第二标识是该终端设备在该MME控制范围内的唯一标识；The network device sends a first message to the terminal device by using the wake-up radio interface, where the first message is used to trigger the wake-up radio interface to generate the trigger signal, and the first message carries a first identifier, where the first identifier is the terminal The identifier of the device in the control range of the TA included in the first TA list, the first TA list includes at least one of the plurality of TAs, and the length of the first identifier is less than the length of the second identifier, the second The identifier is a unique identifier of the terminal device within the control scope of the MME;

该网络设备接收该网络设备发送的第一数据，该第一数据的格式是与该主接口相匹配的格式。The network device receives the first data sent by the network device, and the format of the first data is a format that matches the primary interface.

应理解，本申请实施例中，网络设备向终端设备的唤醒射频WUR发送唤醒帧WUS，是基于第一通信方式，即该WUS的数据格式是终端设备的唤醒射频WUR可以识别和获取的。这样的通信方式保证了除WUR之外的接口不会误接该唤醒帧WUS。It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the network device sends the wake-up frame WUS to the wake-up radio frequency WUR of the terminal device, which is based on the first communication mode, that is, the data format of the WUS is that the wake-up radio frequency WUR of the terminal device can be identified and acquired. Such a communication method ensures that an interface other than the WUR does not misconnect the wake-up frame WUS.

网络设备基于第一通信方式向终端设备的唤醒射频WUR发送唤醒帧WUS，该WUS激活该WUR产生触发信号，激活终端设备的主接口。之后网络设备可以和终端设备时间通信。例如，网络设备向终端设备发送第一数据，终端设备通过主接口接收该第一数据，这样的通信过程是基于第二通信方式进行的。即第一数据的格式是终端设备的主接口可以接收和识别的数据格式。The network device sends a wake-up frame WUS to the wake-up radio frequency WUR of the terminal device according to the first communication manner, and the WUS activates the WUR to generate a trigger signal to activate the main interface of the terminal device. The network device can then communicate with the terminal device at a time. For example, the network device sends the first data to the terminal device, and the terminal device receives the first data through the primary interface, and the communication process is performed based on the second communication manner. That is, the format of the first data is a data format that the main interface of the terminal device can receive and recognize.

具体地，一个MME可以控制多个追踪区域TA，终端设备位于至少一个追踪区域TA内。网络设备为在网的UE分配该WU-TMSI，该WU-TMSI是TA或TA list内的设备标识。本申请所述的TA列表包括一个MME控制的所述多个TA中的至少一个TA。例如，当TA列表包括5个TA，这5个TA是由同一个MME控制的，那么该WU-TMSI就是这5个TA内的标识；当TA列表包括1个TA，那么该WU-TMSI就是该TA内的唯一标识。Specifically, one MME may control multiple tracking areas TA, and the terminal equipment is located in at least one tracking area TA. The network device allocates the WU-TMSI to the UE in the network, and the WU-TMSI is the device identifier in the TA or TA list. The TA list described in the present application includes at least one of the plurality of TAs controlled by one MME. For example, when the TA list includes 5 TAs, which are controlled by the same MME, then the WU-TMSI is the identifier in the 5 TAs; when the TA list includes 1 TA, then the WU-TMSI is A unique identifier within the TA.

上述技术方案通过网络设备为低功耗终端设备分配一种低功耗设备短标识，将该短标识用于低功耗设备和网络设备的通信中。当网络设备需要发送唤醒帧以唤醒该低功耗设备与网络设备进行通信时，在唤醒帧WUS中携带该短标识，能够减少标识低功耗设备所需要的比特数，同时，低功耗设备短标识相比于完整长标识所节省出来的空间，使得多设备唤醒帧的设计更为灵活，能够适应唤醒帧WUS承载比特数有限的特点。The foregoing technical solution allocates a low power consumption device short identifier to the low power consumption terminal device through the network device, and uses the short identifier for the communication between the low power consumption device and the network device. When the network device needs to send a wake-up frame to wake up the low-power device to communicate with the network device, carrying the short identifier in the wake-up frame WUS can reduce the number of bits required to identify the low-power device, and at the same time, the low-power device The space saved by the short identifier compared to the full long identifier makes the design of the multi-device wake-up frame more flexible, and can adapt to the limited number of WUS bearer bits of the wake-up frame.

结合第一方面，在第一方面的某些实现方式中，该第一标识是基于该第二标识生成的。In conjunction with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first identification is generated based on the second identification.

结合第一方面和上述实现方式，在某些可能的实现方式中，该第一标识的序列是从该第二标识的序列中截取的，或With reference to the first aspect and the foregoing implementation manner, in some possible implementations, the sequence of the first identifier is intercepted from the sequence of the second identifier, or

该第一标识的序列是基于预设的函数对该第二标识的序列进行变换后生成的。The sequence of the first identifier is generated by transforming the sequence of the second identifier based on a preset function.

应理解，该第一标识的生成可以是网络设备完成，发送给终端设备，也可以是终端设备接收网络设备发送的第一标识生成的参数或函数等，终端设备来生成该第一标识，本申请实施例包括但不限于此。It should be understood that the generation of the first identifier may be performed by the network device, and may be sent to the terminal device, or the terminal device may receive the parameter or function generated by the first identifier sent by the network device, and the terminal device generates the first identifier. Application examples include, but are not limited to.

例如，8bits的MMEC和32bits MME临时移动用户标识M-TMSI组成40bits的服务临时移动用户标识S-TMSI，可以对S-TMSI的前24位进行截取，则有WU-TMSI＝MMEC+Partial M-TMSI。For example, the 8-bit MMEC and the 32-bit MME temporary mobile subscriber identity M-TMSI form a 40-bit service temporary mobile subscriber identity S-TMSI, which can intercept the first 24 bits of the S-TMSI, and then there is WU-TMSI=MMEC+Partial M- TMSI.

对于上述WU-TMSI生成方案，继承了原有的一般ID构成方式，即WU-TMSI的构成是：管理区域+区域内ID。该方案的好处是便于核心网设备MME基于MME进行终端设备的追踪。但Partial M-TMSI域只有16bits意味着只能对同一MME下的终端设备进行至多65536个分组(组里包含一个或多个终端设备)。For the above-mentioned WU-TMSI generation scheme, the original general ID configuration method is inherited, that is, the composition of the WU-TMSI is: management area + intra-area ID. The advantage of this scheme is that it facilitates the core network device MME to perform tracking of the terminal device based on the MME. However, only 16 bits of the Partial M-TMSI domain means that only up to 65536 packets can be made to the terminal devices in the same MME (the group contains one or more terminal devices).

或者，可以对S-TMSI的后24位进行截取，则有WU-TMSI＝Partial M-TMSI。Alternatively, the last 24 bits of the S-TMSI can be intercepted, and there is WU-TMSI=Partial M-TMSI.

对于上述WU-TMSI生成方案，WU-TMSI的24bits都取于M-TMSI，即区域内ID。ID的随机性更高。换言之，对于一个终端设备，在TA list下发生WU-TMSI重复的几率更小，即被误唤醒的几率就要小很多。For the above WU-TMSI generation scheme, the 24 bits of the WU-TMSI are taken from the M-TMSI, that is, the intra-area ID. ID is more random. In other words, for a terminal device, the probability of a WU-TMSI repetition occurring under the TA list is smaller, that is, the probability of being erroneously awakened is much smaller.

应理解，这里截取的位数24bits是仅为示例，本方案包括但并不限于此。It should be understood that the number of bits intercepted here is 24 bits, which is only an example, and the solution includes but is not limited thereto.

可选地，基站可以用1bit的指示信息来指示终端设备使用前截取还是后截取，用5bits的指示信息来指示截取多少位。基站在唤醒帧WUS中需要唤醒终端设备时，直接在目标终端设备的ID域携带WU-TMSI。终端设备检测到WUS中目标终端设备的ID域与自身的WU-TMSI相同时，随即唤醒主通信接口与基站通信。Optionally, the base station may use the indication information of the 1 bit to indicate whether the terminal device intercepts or intercepts before using, and uses 5 bits of indication information to indicate how many bits are intercepted. When the base station needs to wake up the terminal device in the wake-up frame WUS, the base station directly carries the WU-TMSI in the ID field of the target terminal device. When the terminal device detects that the ID field of the target terminal device in the WUS is the same as its own WU-TMSI, the terminal device wakes up and communicates with the base station.

可选地，所述第一标识的序列是对S-TMSI或M-TMSI的序列进行变换处理后生成的。Optionally, the sequence of the first identifier is generated by transforming a sequence of S-TMSI or M-TMSI.

例如，一种变换处理的实施例分为两步：1.对S-TMSI或M-TMSI截取比特串；2.使用MMEC和/或TAC对比特串加扰。这里，TAC指的是追踪区域TA的ID。For example, an embodiment of transform processing is divided into two steps: 1. Intercepting a bit string for S-TMSI or M-TMSI; 2. Scrambling a bit string using MMEC and/or TAC. Here, the TAC refers to the ID of the tracking area TA.

具体地，可以是如下步骤。Specifically, it may be the following steps.

第一步，如方式一对S-TMSI或M-TMSI进行截取，得到比特串。In the first step, a pair of S-TMSI or M-TMSI is intercepted to obtain a bit string.

第二步，对所得比特串与MMEC String和TAC String进行错位异或运算，得到WU-TMSI。In the second step, the obtained bit string is misaligned or XORed with the MMEC String and the TAC String to obtain the WU-TMSI.

实际应用中，截取的比特数和位置是可以灵活变化的。In practical applications, the number and location of intercepted bits can be flexibly changed.

该方案通过对S-TMSI或M-TMSI部分截取所得的比特串，再与MMEC、TAC比特串进行异或运算得到WU-TMSI。因为MMEC和TAC具有地理位置特征，使用MMEC和TAC比特串对S-TMSI或M-TMSI部分截取所得的比特串加扰后，进一步对直接截取的比特串随机化。The scheme obtains the WU-TMSI by performing an exclusive-OR operation on the S-TMSI or M-TMSI part to intercept the obtained bit string and then performing an exclusive-OR operation with the MMEC and TAC bit strings. Since the MMEC and the TAC have geographical location characteristics, the bit string obtained by the S-TMSI or M-TMSI partial truncation is scrambled using the MMEC and TAC bit strings, and the directly intercepted bit string is further randomized.

结合第一方面和上述实现方式，在某些可能的实现方式中，该第一标识的序列是基于随机生成函数生成的。In combination with the first aspect and the foregoing implementation manner, in some possible implementations, the sequence of the first identifier is generated based on a random generation function.

即基站可以使用任意序列随机生成函数产生WU-TMSI，并配置给终端设备。若基站和终端设备都知道序列随机生成函数的具体表达，基站也可以通过给终端设备配置序列随机生成函数的参数，由终端设备在终端设备本地生成WU-TMSI。That is, the base station can generate the WU-TMSI using any sequence random generation function and configure it to the terminal device. If both the base station and the terminal device know the specific expression of the sequence random generation function, the base station may also generate the WU-TMSI locally by the terminal device by configuring the parameters of the sequence random generation function for the terminal device.

总之，第一标识序列的生成有多种可能的实现方式，本申请实施例包括但并不限于此。In summary, there are many possible implementations of the generation of the first identification sequence, and the embodiments of the present application include but are not limited thereto.

以上方案提出了一种适用于低功耗设备的短标识WU-TMSI，使得标识终端设备所需要的比特数减少，更适用于携带有限长度比特的WUS唤醒帧。低功耗设备短标识相比于完整长标识所节省出来的空间，使得多设备唤醒帧的设计更为灵活，能够适应唤醒帧承载比特数有限的特点。The above solution proposes a short identifier WU-TMSI suitable for a low power consumption device, so that the number of bits required to identify the terminal device is reduced, and is more suitable for a WUS wake frame carrying a finite length bit. Compared with the space saved by the full long identifier, the low-power device short identifier makes the multi-device wake-up frame more flexible and can adapt to the limited number of wake-up frames.

结合第一方面和上述实现方式，在某些可能的实现方式中，在该网络设备向该终端设备发送第一消息之前，该方法还包括：With reference to the first aspect and the foregoing implementation manner, in some possible implementations, before the network device sends the first message to the terminal device, the method further includes:

该网络设备生成该第一标识；The network device generates the first identifier;

该网络设备向该终端设备发送该第一标识的指示信息。The network device sends the indication information of the first identifier to the terminal device.

该网络设备接收该终端设备发送的该第一标识的指示信息。The network device receives the indication information of the first identifier sent by the terminal device.

结合第一方面和上述实现方式，在某些可能的实现方式中，该第二标识为该终端设备的移动管理网元临时移动用户标识M-TMSI或S-TMSI。With reference to the first aspect and the foregoing implementation manner, in some possible implementation manners, the second identifier is a mobility management network element temporary mobile subscriber identity M-TMSI or S-TMSI of the terminal device.

结合第一方面和上述实现方式，在某些可能的实现方式中，该网络设备为接入网设备或移动性管理实体MME。With reference to the first aspect and the foregoing implementation manner, in some possible implementation manners, the network device is an access network device or a mobility management entity MME.

应理解，第一标识WU-TMSI的长度小于现行的M-TMSI的长度32bits，且WU-TMSI的长度大于或等于现行C-RNTI的长度16bits。显然，如果WU-TMSI的长度大于M-TMSI，则WUS中携带M-TMSI即可。It should be understood that the length of the first identifier WU-TMSI is less than the length of the current M-TMSI by 32 bits, and the length of the WU-TMSI is greater than or equal to the length of the current C-RNTI by 16 bits. Obviously, if the length of the WU-TMSI is greater than the M-TMSI, the MUS can carry the M-TMSI.

在所述终端设备处于连接态时，所述第一标识为所述终端设备的小区无线网络临时标识C-RNTI。因为当终端设备处于连接态时，C-RNTI为16bits，此时用C-RNTI来作为终端设备的标识最为简便。When the terminal device is in the connected state, the first identifier is a cell radio network temporary identifier C-RNTI of the terminal device. Because the C-RNTI is 16 bits when the terminal device is in the connected state, it is the easiest to use the C-RNTI as the identification of the terminal device.

应理解，对于空闲态RRC_IDLE的终端设备，WUS中的目标终端设备标识为WU-TMSI；对于RRC_CONNECTED态终端设备，WUS中的目标终端设备标识为终端设备的小区级唯一标识，如C-RNTI。由于终端设备当前处于何种状态，网络侧和终端设备侧都是知道的，相应地，网络侧应当发送何种目标终端设备标识、终端设备应当接收何种目标终端设备标识自然也是双方都清楚无误的知道的。因此，这种方法能够缩短RRC_CONNECTED态下WUS中的信息比特长度，并且不会造成基站发送WUS和终端设备接收WUS时的模糊。但是，由于存在两种WUS长度，基站应支持两种长度WUS的发送，终端设备应支持两种长度WUS的接收，It should be understood that for the terminal device of the idle state RRC_IDLE, the target terminal device identifier in the WUS is WU-TMSI; for the RRC_CONNECTED state terminal device, the target terminal device identifier in the WUS is the cell-level unique identifier of the terminal device, such as C-RNTI. Because the terminal device is currently in the state, both the network side and the terminal device side are aware. Accordingly, what kind of target terminal device identifier should be sent by the network side and what target terminal device identifier the terminal device should receive is naturally clear to both parties. Know that. Therefore, this method can shorten the information bit length in the WUS in the RRC_CONNECTED state, and does not cause blurring when the base station transmits the WUS and the terminal device receives the WUS. However, since there are two WUS lengths, the base station should support the transmission of two lengths of WUS, and the terminal equipment should support the reception of two lengths of WUS.

此外，第一标识可以由MME生成，在这种情况下，MME按照上述任一种可能的方式来生成该第一标识。例如，首先，终端设备向网络设备发送标识请求消息，或TA更新消息，请求网络设备为终端设备分配低功耗设备标识WU-TMSI。其次，MME接收该请求消息，并生成该第一标识WU-TMSI。然后，MME向终端设备分配该第一标识，具体地，分配第一标识可以通过无线资源控制信令RRC或媒体接入控制层信令MAC CE等方式配置给终端设备。Furthermore, the first identity may be generated by the MME, in which case the MME generates the first identity in any of the above possible ways. For example, first, the terminal device sends an identifier request message or a TA update message to the network device, requesting the network device to allocate the low power device identifier WU-TMSI to the terminal device. Second, the MME receives the request message and generates the first identifier WU-TMSI. Then, the MME allocates the first identifier to the terminal device. Specifically, the first identifier may be allocated to the terminal device by using a radio resource control signaling RRC or a medium access control layer signaling MAC CE.

第二方面，提供了一种通信方法，应用于包括终端设备和网络设备的通信***中，该终端设备包括唤醒射频接口和主接口，该唤醒射频接口用于产生触发信号，该触发信号用于激活该主接口，该主接口用于该终端设备和该接入网设备之间的通信，该终端设备处于移动性管理实体MME控制的多个追踪区域TA中的至少一个TA内，该方法包括：In a second aspect, a communication method is provided, which is applied to a communication system including a terminal device and a network device, where the terminal device includes a wake-up radio frequency interface and a main interface, and the wake-up radio frequency interface is configured to generate a trigger signal, where the trigger signal is used for Activating the primary interface, the primary interface being used for communication between the terminal device and the access network device, the terminal device being in at least one of the plurality of tracking areas TA controlled by the mobility management entity MME, the method comprising :

该终端设备通过该唤醒射频接口接收第一消息，该第一消息用于触发该唤醒射频接口产生该触发信号，且该第一消息携带第一标识，该第一标识是该终端设备在第一TA列表包括的TA的控制范围内的标识，该第一TA列表列表包括该多个TA中的至少一个TA，且该第一标识的长度小于该第二标识的长度，该第二标识是该终端设备在该MME控制范围内的唯一标识；Receiving, by the terminal device, the first message, the first message is used to trigger the wake-up radio interface to generate the trigger signal, and the first message carries a first identifier, where the first identifier is that the terminal device is in the first The TA list includes the identifiers in the control range of the TA, the first TA list list includes at least one of the plurality of TAs, and the length of the first identifier is smaller than the length of the second identifier, where the second identifier is a unique identifier of the terminal device within the control range of the MME;

该终端设备在根据该第一标识确定该第一消息有效后，根据该第一消息，控制该唤醒射频接口产生触发信号，以激活该主接口；After determining that the first message is valid according to the first identifier, the terminal device controls the wake-up radio interface to generate a trigger signal according to the first message, to activate the primary interface;

该终端设备通过该主接口接收该网络设备发送的第一数据，该第一数据的格式是与该主接口相匹配的格式。The terminal device receives the first data sent by the network device by using the primary interface, and the format of the first data is a format that matches the primary interface.

应理解，一个MME可以控制多个追踪区域TA，该终端设备位于至少一个追踪区域TA内。网络设备为在网的UE分配该WU-TMSI，该WU-TMSI是TA或TA list内的设备标识。本申请所述的TA列表包括一个MME控制的所述多个TA中的至少一个TA。例如，当TA列表包括5个TA，这5个TA是由同一个MME控制的，那么该WU-TMSI就是这5个TA内的标识；当TA列表包括1个TA，那么该WU-TMSI就是该TA内的唯一标识。It should be understood that one MME may control a plurality of tracking areas TA located in at least one tracking area TA. The network device allocates the WU-TMSI to the UE in the network, and the WU-TMSI is the device identifier in the TA or TA list. The TA list described in the present application includes at least one of the plurality of TAs controlled by one MME. For example, when the TA list includes 5 TAs, which are controlled by the same MME, then the WU-TMSI is the identifier in the 5 TAs; when the TA list includes 1 TA, then the WU-TMSI is A unique identifier within the TA.

上述技术方案通过网络设备为低功耗终端设备分配一种低功耗设备短标识，将该短标识用于低功耗设备和网络设备的通信中。当网络设备需要发送唤醒帧WUS以唤醒该低功耗设备与网络设备进行通信时，在唤醒帧WUS中携带该短标识，能够减少标识低功耗设备所需要的比特数，同时，低功耗设备短标识相比于完整长标识所节省出来的空间，使得多设备唤醒帧的设计更为灵活，能够适应唤醒帧WUS承载比特数有限的特点。The foregoing technical solution allocates a low power consumption device short identifier to the low power consumption terminal device through the network device, and uses the short identifier for the communication between the low power consumption device and the network device. When the network device needs to send the wake-up frame WUS to wake up the low-power device to communicate with the network device, carrying the short identifier in the wake-up frame WUS can reduce the number of bits required to identify the low-power device, and at the same time, low power consumption Compared with the space saved by the full long identifier, the short identifier of the device makes the design of the multi-device wake-up frame more flexible, and can adapt to the limited number of WUS bearer bits of the wake-up frame.

结合第二方面，在某些可能的实现方式中，该第一标识是基于该第二标识生成的。In conjunction with the second aspect, in some possible implementations, the first identification is generated based on the second identification.

结合第二方面和上述实现方式，在某些可能的实现方式中，该第一标识的序列是从该第二标识的序列中截取的，或With reference to the second aspect and the foregoing implementation manner, in some possible implementations, the sequence of the first identifier is intercepted from the sequence of the second identifier, or

结合第二方面和上述实现方式，在某些可能的实现方式中，该第一标识的序列是基于随机生成函数生成的。With reference to the second aspect and the foregoing implementation manner, in some possible implementations, the sequence of the first identifier is generated based on a random generation function.

例如，8bits的MMEC和32bitsM-TMSI组成40bits的S-TMSI，可以对S-TMSI的前24位进行截取，则有WU-TMSI＝MMEC+Partial M-TMSI。For example, the 8-bit MMEC and the 32-bit M-TMSI form a 40-bit S-TMSI, and the first 24 bits of the S-TMSI can be intercepted, and there is WU-TMSI=MMEC+Partial M-TMSI.

以上方案提出了一种适用于低功耗设备的短标识WU-TMSI，使得标识终端设备所需要的比特数减少，更适用于携带有限长度比特的WUS唤醒帧。低功耗设备短标识相比于完整长标识所节省出来的空间，使得多设备唤醒帧的设计更为灵活。The above solution proposes a short identifier WU-TMSI suitable for a low power consumption device, so that the number of bits required to identify the terminal device is reduced, and is more suitable for a WUS wake frame carrying a finite length bit. The low-power device short tag saves space compared to the full long tag, making the design of multi-device wake-up frames more flexible.

该通信单元还用于通过该主接口，与该网络设备通信。The communication unit is further configured to communicate with the network device through the primary interface.

上述所涉及的第一标识具体生成过程参见前述说明，为了简便，此处不再赘述。应理解，第一标识的生成可以由通信装置的处理单元来完成，也可以是通信单元接收网络设备发送的第一标识，本申请包括但不限于此。For the specific generation process of the first identifier involved in the above, refer to the foregoing description, and for brevity, no further details are provided herein. It should be understood that the generation of the first identifier may be performed by a processing unit of the communication device, or the communication unit may receive the first identifier sent by the network device, and the application includes but is not limited thereto.

作为一种可能的实现方式，所述通信单元通过该唤醒射频接口接收第一消息之前，该方法还包括：该终端设备生成该第一标识；该终端设备向该网络设备发送该第一标识的指示信息。As a possible implementation, before the communication unit receives the first message by using the wake-up radio interface, the method further includes: the terminal device generates the first identifier; and the terminal device sends the first identifier to the network device Instructions.

可选地，在该终端设备处于连接态时，该第一标识为该终端设备的小区无线网络临时标识C-RNTI。Optionally, when the terminal device is in the connected state, the first identifier is a cell radio network temporary identifier C-RNTI of the terminal device.

可选地，该第二标识为该终端设备的移动管理网元临时移动用户标识M-TMSI或S-TMSI。Optionally, the second identifier is a mobility management network element temporary mobile subscriber identity M-TMSI or S-TMSI of the terminal device.

处理单元可以先判断改通信装置所处的状态，例如当处理单元判断改通信装置处于连接态RRC_CONNECTED还是空闲态RRC_IDLE。不论是连接态RRC_CONNECTED还是空闲态RRC_IDLE，处理单元均将低功耗短标识WU-TMSI作为WUS中的目标终端设备标识。这种标识方法能够使唤醒帧WUS携带比特长度较短且固定的信息，简化了WUS中数据结构的设计。The processing unit may first determine the state in which the communication device is located, for example, when the processing unit determines whether the communication device is in the connected state RRC_CONNECTED or the idle state RRC_IDLE. Regardless of whether it is the connected state RRC_CONNECTED or the idle state RRC_IDLE, the processing unit uses the low power short identifier WU-TMSI as the target terminal device identifier in the WUS. This identification method enables the wake-up frame WUS to carry shorter and fixed bit length information, simplifying the design of the data structure in the WUS.

或者，当处理单元判断改通信装置处于RRC_IDLE态，所述处理单元将WUS中的目标终端设备标识为WU-TMSI；当处理单元判断改通信装置处于RRC_CONNECTED态，所述处理单元将WUS中的目标终端设备标识为终端设备的小区级唯一标识，如C-RNTI。Alternatively, when the processing unit determines that the communication device is in the RRC_IDLE state, the processing unit identifies the target terminal device in the WUS as WU-TMSI; when the processing unit determines that the communication device is in the RRC_CONNECTED state, the processing unit targets the WUS. The terminal device identifier is a cell-level unique identifier of the terminal device, such as a C-RNTI.

这种方法能够缩短RRC_CONNECTED态下WUS中的信息比特长度，并且不会造成基站发送WUS和终端设备接收WUS时的模糊。由于存在两种WUS长度，基站应支持两种长度WUS的发送，终端设备应支持两种长度WUS的接收。This method can shorten the information bit length in the WUS in the RRC_CONNECTED state, and does not cause blurring when the base station transmits the WUS and the terminal device receives the WUS. Since there are two WUS lengths, the base station should support the transmission of two lengths of WUS, and the terminal equipment should support the reception of two lengths of WUS.

下面先对本申请涉及到的几个名词或术语进行简单介绍。The following briefly introduces several terms or terms involved in this application.

1、唤醒射频WUR与唤醒信号1, wake up RF WUR and wake up signal

唤醒射频又称为唤醒接收机(Wake-up Receiver，WUR)。所谓WUR，是指终端设备(如UE)在配置传统主接口(main radio)或又称为主模块的基础上，引入一个WUR接口。The wake-up radio is also known as the Wake-up Receiver (WUR). The so-called WUR refers to a terminal device (such as a UE) that introduces a WUR interface on the basis of configuring a main main interface or a main module.

可用于被唤醒射频WUR接收并解码的信号称为唤醒信号(Wakeup Signal)。UE的WUR持续处于接收状态，或间歇性处于接收状态，当WUR在接收状态中收到来自基站的唤醒信号(例如唤醒包，又称为唤醒帧等)时，向主模块发送触发信号，以唤醒处于关闭状态的主模块，然后通过唤醒后的主模块与基站的主模块进行数据交互。基站侧在逻辑上也包括主模块和WUR模块，但对于当前3GPP标准而言，主模块常常为OFDM宽带发射机，而WUR唤醒信号则可能是窄带信号(以降低WUR的接收功耗)，出于降低成本和结构简单考虑，可以利用OFDM宽带发射机产生窄带WUR唤醒信号。例如，将OFDM信号的部分子载波空置而仅在WUR唤醒信号对应的窄带上传输信号，从而产生窄带信号，这就是利用OFDM宽带发射机产生WUR窄带信号的例子，故基站侧可以仅包含一个主接口。A signal that can be used for receiving and decoding by the wake-up radio frequency WUR is called a wake-up signal. The WUR of the UE is continuously in the receiving state, or is intermittently in the receiving state. When the WUR receives the wake-up signal from the base station (for example, the wake-up packet, also called the wake-up frame, etc.) in the receiving state, the trigger signal is sent to the main module to Wake up the main module in the off state, and then perform data interaction with the main module of the base station through the wake-up main module. The base station side also logically includes the main module and the WUR module, but for the current 3GPP standard, the main module is often an OFDM wideband transmitter, and the WUR wakeup signal may be a narrowband signal (to reduce the WUR receiving power consumption). For cost reduction and structural simplicity, OFDM wideband transmitters can be used to generate narrowband WUR wakeup signals. For example, a partial subcarrier of the OFDM signal is vacant and the signal is transmitted only on the narrowband corresponding to the WUR wakeup signal, thereby generating a narrowband signal. This is an example of generating a WUR narrowband signal by using an OFDM wideband transmitter, so that the base station side can include only one master. interface.

基站具体实现中也可将主模块和WUR模块分别进行单独实现，即基站侧也可以同时包含主模块和WUR模块。In the specific implementation of the base station, the main module and the WUR module can be separately implemented, that is, the base station side can also include the main module and the WUR module.

2、触发信号2, the trigger signal

触发信号用于触发并激活主接口。主模块通常处于关闭状态，只有当收到来自WUR模块的触发信号时，主模块才会激活，然后通过主模块与基站进行数据通信。其中，触发信号可是由WUR模块发送给主模块的中断信号，用于触发主模块进入激活状态，触发信号是UE内部信号，可通过有线或无线方式传输。需要说明的是，上述WUR模块发送触发信号给主模块是逻辑上的，在实际***中，WUR接口也可以将收到的唤醒信号转发给处理器，由处理器决定是否唤醒主模块，此时，触发信号实际上是由处理器发出的，或由处理器指示其它模块发出的。The trigger signal is used to trigger and activate the main interface. The main module is usually in the off state. Only when the trigger signal from the WUR module is received, the main module is activated, and then the main module communicates with the base station. The trigger signal may be an interrupt signal sent by the WUR module to the main module, and is used to trigger the main module to enter an activation state, and the trigger signal is an internal signal of the UE, and may be transmitted by wire or wirelessly. It should be noted that the above WUR module sends a trigger signal to the main module in a logical manner. In an actual system, the WUR interface can also forward the received wake-up signal to the processor, and the processor determines whether to wake up the main module. The trigger signal is actually sent by the processor or directed by the processor to other modules.

通常，网络设备可以向空闲状态和连接状态的终端设备发送寻呼。寻呼过程可以如图1所示由核心网触发，用于通知某个终端设备接收寻呼请求，或者也可以由网络设备触发，用于通知***信息更新。LTE***中的寻呼消息采用物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel，PDCCH)调度的物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel，PDSCH)承载。例如，一个PDSCH信道中最多可以携带16个UE的寻呼消息，多个UE的寻呼消息构成一个寻呼列表paging Record List，UE读取paging Record List中的每一个UE的Paging Record，Paging Record中包含了被寻呼的UE的标识UE-Identity。如果UE发现自己的UE标志与某个UE-Identity一致，就判断自己被该网络设备寻呼。由于多个UE的寻呼消息在一个PDSCH内传输且网络设备不知道空闲态UE的信道质量，所以一般网络向UE发送寻呼时会采用保守的MCS、较低的码率、或者较大的调度带宽以保证可以使小区边缘的UE能够接收到寻呼消息。Typically, a network device can send a page to a terminal device in an idle state and a connected state. The paging process may be triggered by the core network as shown in FIG. 1 to notify a certain terminal device to receive a paging request, or may also be triggered by the network device to notify the system information update. The paging message in the LTE system is carried by a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled by a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). For example, a PDSCH channel can carry up to 16 paging messages of a UE, and paging messages of multiple UEs form a paging list paging register, and the UE reads a paging record of each UE in the paging Record List, Paging Record. The identifier UE-Identity of the paged UE is included. If the UE finds that its own UE flag is consistent with a certain UE-Identity, it determines that it is paged by the network device. Since paging messages of multiple UEs are transmitted in one PDSCH and the network device does not know the channel quality of the idle state UE, the general network sends a paging to the UE with a conservative MCS, a lower code rate, or a larger one. The bandwidth is scheduled to ensure that the UE at the cell edge can receive the paging message.

应理解，本申请实施例中，网络设备基于第一通信方式向终端设备的唤醒射频WUR发送唤醒帧WUS，该WUS激活该WUR产生触发信号，激活终端设备的主接口。之后网络设备可以和终端设备时间通信。例如，网络设备向终端设备发送第一数据，终端设备通过主接口接收该第一数据，这样的通信过程是基于第二通信方式进行的。即第一数据的格式是终端设备的主接口可以接收和识别的数据格式。本申请包括但不限于此。It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the network device sends a wake-up frame WUS to the wake-up radio frequency WUR of the terminal device according to the first communication manner, and the WUS activates the WUR to generate a trigger signal to activate the main interface of the terminal device. The network device can then communicate with the terminal device at a time. For example, the network device sends the first data to the terminal device, and the terminal device receives the first data through the primary interface, and the communication process is performed based on the second communication manner. That is, the format of the first data is a data format that the main interface of the terminal device can receive and recognize. This application includes but is not limited to.

图2示出了本申请实施例提供的终端设备120和基站110之间的接口示意图。具体地，结合图2对上述概念进行详细的说明。FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an interface between a terminal device 120 and a base station 110 according to an embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the above concept will be described in detail in conjunction with FIG. 2.

在该通信***中，用于数据通信的模块，统称为主通信模块，也可称为主接口或主模块，如图2中所示的主接口122；用于设备唤醒的模块，统称为唤醒射频模块，也可称为唤醒射频接口或唤醒射频(WUR)，如图2中所示的主接口121。eNB 110至少包括一个主接口111和天线模块112；UE 120至少包括一个WUR接口121、主接口122和天线模块123。当然，图2中eNB 110还可以包括WUR接口，本申请对此并不限制。In the communication system, the modules for data communication are collectively referred to as a main communication module, which may also be referred to as a main interface or a main module, such as the main interface 122 shown in FIG. 2; the modules for device wake-up, collectively referred to as wake-up The radio frequency module, which may also be referred to as a wake-up radio interface or wake-up radio frequency (WUR), is the main interface 121 as shown in FIG. 2. The eNB 110 includes at least one primary interface 111 and an antenna module 112. The UE 120 includes at least one WUR interface 121, a primary interface 122, and an antenna module 123. Of course, the eNB 110 in FIG. 2 may also include a WUR interface, which is not limited in this application.

eNB 110发送唤醒帧150(唤醒信号的一种)给UE 120的WUR 121，当UE 120的WUR 121在接收状态中收到来自基站的唤醒帧150时，向主接口122发送触发信号，以唤醒处于关闭状态的主模块，然后通过唤醒后的主接口122与eNB 110的主接口111进行数据帧160的交互，从而完成通信过程。The eNB 110 transmits a wake-up frame 150 (one of the wake-up signals) to the WUR 121 of the UE 120. When the WUR 121 of the UE 120 receives the wake-up frame 150 from the base station in the receiving state, it transmits a trigger signal to the main interface 122 to wake up. The main module in the off state then performs the interaction of the data frame 160 with the main interface 111 of the eNB 110 through the awake main interface 122, thereby completing the communication process.

另外，图2中示出了eNB 110和UE 120的天线，应理解，eNB 110和UE 120可以都只有一个天线，这主要是考虑主接口和WUR接口使用相同或接近的频段载波情况下，可共用同一天线，以节省成本和简化设备结构。当然，主接口和WUR模块分别使用不同天线显然也是可行的。当主接口和WUR接口使用频域上距离较大的不同频段载波时，两者应配置不同天线。例如，主接口使用6GHz频段，WUR接口使用1.8GHz频段，此时两者应使用不同天线。In addition, the antennas of the eNB 110 and the UE 120 are shown in FIG. 2. It should be understood that both the eNB 110 and the UE 120 may have only one antenna, which is mainly considering that the primary interface and the WUR interface use the same or close frequency carrier. Share the same antenna to save cost and simplify equipment structure. Of course, it is obviously feasible to use different antennas for the main interface and the WUR module respectively. When the primary interface and the WUR interface use different frequency band carriers with a larger distance in the frequency domain, the two antennas should be configured with different antennas. For example, the primary interface uses the 6 GHz band and the WUR interface uses the 1.8 GHz band, where both antennas should use different antennas.

UE采用WUR接收信号相比使用主接口接收信号能够降低功耗，其主要原因在于唤醒信号的接收和译码远比传统主接口信号简单。唤醒信号通常采用易于接收端解调的调制方式，例如开关键控(on-off key，OOK)调制、频移键控(Frequency Shift Keying，FSK)、幅移键控(Amplitude Shift Keying，ASK)等。以OOK调制为例，接收端通过有无能量判断接收信号承载的信息，例如，有能量为1，无能量为0。而传统主接口信号由于在发送端采用正交频分复用调制编码(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing，OFDM)、Turbo编码/低密度奇偶校验(Low-density Parity Check，LDPC)/极化码(Polar Code)信道编码等，相应地，接收端需执行快速傅里叶变换(Fast Fourier Transform，FFT)、前向纠错码(Forward Error Correction，FEC)译码等复杂信号处理操作，这些操作需要耗费大量能量。另一种实现低功耗WUR的方法是接收端采用被动接收机，例如近场通信(Near Field Communication，NFC)技术。The UE adopts the WUR receiving signal to reduce the power consumption compared to the receiving signal using the main interface. The main reason is that the receiving and decoding of the wake-up signal is much simpler than the traditional main interface signal. The wake-up signal is usually modulated by a receiver that is easy to receive, such as on-off key (OOK) modulation, frequency shift keying (FSK), and amplitude shift keying (ASK). Wait. Taking OOK modulation as an example, the receiving end judges the information carried by the receiving signal by the presence or absence of energy, for example, the energy is 1, and the energy is zero. The traditional primary interface signal uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), Turbo coding/Low-density Parity Check (LDPC)/Polarization Code (Polar) at the transmitting end. Code) channel coding, etc., correspondingly, the receiving end needs to perform complex signal processing operations such as Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Forward Error Correction (FEC) decoding. A lot of energy. Another way to implement a low power WUR is to use a passive receiver at the receiving end, such as Near Field Communication (NFC) technology.

图2中eNB 110的主接口111、UE 120的主接口122可以是例如无线(WiFi)通信接口或蓝牙(BlueTooth)等通信接口。出于节省成本和简化设计的考虑，UE侧的WUR接口往往只支持唤醒信号的接收能力即可，而无需支持发送能力。The main interface 111 of the eNB 110 in FIG. 2, and the main interface 122 of the UE 120 may be a communication interface such as a wireless (WiFi) communication interface or Bluetooth (BlueTooth). For cost-saving and simplified design considerations, the WUR interface on the UE side only supports the receiving capability of the wake-up signal without supporting the transmission capability.

需要特别说明的是，唤醒信号的发送端可以是基站，接收端是配备WUR的终端设备，如手机、传感器等前述列举的终端设备；唤醒信号的发送端也可以是终端设备，如手机等前述列举的终端设备；接收端是配备WUR的其它终端设备，如智能手表、手环等前述列举的终端设备；唤醒信号的发送端还可以是终端设备，如手机等前述列举的终端设备，接收端是配备WUR的基站；唤醒信号的发送端还可以是终端设备，如智能手表、手环等，接收端是配备WUR的终端设备，如手机。总之，唤醒信号的发送端需具备唤醒信号发送能力，接收端必须配备WUR接口以便接收唤醒信号。为便于描述，本申请中基站表示唤醒信号的发送端，UE表示唤醒信号的接收端，而不代表收发设备的具体产品形态。本文中，唤醒信号是所有可被WUR接收并解码的信号的统称，例如，唤醒信号可以是前述唤醒帧，也可以是其它帧。应理解，本申请实施例并不限于此。It should be particularly noted that the transmitting end of the wake-up signal may be a base station, the receiving end is a terminal device equipped with a WUR, such as a mobile phone, a sensor, and the like, and the sending end of the wake-up signal may also be a terminal device, such as a mobile phone. The terminal device is listed; the receiving terminal is another terminal device equipped with WUR, such as a smart watch, a wristband, and the like, and the terminal device of the wake-up signal can also be a terminal device, such as a mobile phone, etc. It is a base station equipped with WUR; the sending end of the wake-up signal can also be a terminal device, such as a smart watch, a wristband, etc., and the receiving end is a terminal device equipped with a WUR, such as a mobile phone. In short, the sender of the wake-up signal needs to have the wake-up signal transmission capability, and the receiver must be equipped with a WUR interface to receive the wake-up signal. For convenience of description, the base station in the present application indicates the transmitting end of the wake-up signal, and the UE indicates the receiving end of the wake-up signal, and does not represent the specific product form of the transceiver device. Herein, the wake-up signal is a general term for all signals that can be received and decoded by the WUR. For example, the wake-up signal may be the aforementioned wake-up frame or other frames. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

若UE的WUR长期处于激活状态，显然会比较耗电。一种解决办法是，WUR间歇性处于激活状态，UE的WUR处于激活状态的时间窗口称为唤醒窗口(Wakeup window)，如图3所示是本申请实施例提供的唤醒窗口示意图。这种唤醒窗口的出现应当是规律性的，以便基站能够知道UE的WUR何时能够接收唤醒信号。例如，在图3中，T为一个周期，在周期T内，有t的时间(如图中阴影部分所示的时间)内WUR处于激活状态。具体地，例如T为100ms，t为20ms，则WUR在每100ms中有20ms处于激活状态。应理解，这里T和t的时间只是一种举例，本申请包括但并不限于此。If the UE's WUR is active for a long time, it will obviously consume more power. A solution is that the WUR is in an active state, and the time window in which the WUR of the UE is in an active state is called a Wakeup window. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the awake window provided by the embodiment of the present application. The appearance of such an awake window should be regular so that the base station can know when the WUR of the UE can receive the wake-up signal. For example, in Fig. 3, T is a period in which WUR is active during a period of time t (time shown by the shaded portion in the figure). Specifically, for example, T is 100 ms and t is 20 ms, then the WUR is activated for 20 ms every 100 ms. It should be understood that the times of T and t herein are merely examples, and the application includes but is not limited thereto.

当基站有数据需要向UE发送时，可在该UE的唤醒窗口t时间中发送唤醒帧150，从而唤醒UE 120的主接口122。唤醒窗口的起始时刻、窗口时长以及周期，可以是标准预定义的，也可以是基站配置的。当然，也可以不引入唤醒窗口，即UE的WUR始终处于监听状态，这使得基站可随时唤醒UE，有利于降低唤醒延迟，缺点是UE能耗升高。When the base station has data to send to the UE, the wake-up frame 150 may be sent in the wake-up window t time of the UE, thereby waking up the main interface 122 of the UE 120. The start time, window duration, and period of the wake-up window can be standard pre-defined or configured by the base station. Certainly, the awake window may not be introduced, that is, the WUR of the UE is always in the listening state, which makes the base station wake up the UE at any time, which is beneficial to reduce the wakeup delay, and the disadvantage is that the UE consumes energy.

对于引入了WUR接口的终端设备，即UE配置了WUR接口，则当基站没有数据向UE发送且UE也没有数据传输时，UE的主通信接口(如NR/LTE/CDMA/GSM等)处于关闭状态，而WUR接口处于激活状态或如图3所示的间歇性激活状态。当基站有数据向UE发送时，首先向UE的WUR接口发送唤醒帧，以便使UE唤醒自己的主通信接口。其中，唤醒帧应当包含UE的标识ID，只有UE检测到唤醒帧的目标UE ID和自身匹配的时候才唤醒自己的主通信接口。For a terminal device that has introduced the WUR interface, that is, the UE is configured with a WUR interface, when the base station has no data to send to the UE and the UE has no data transmission, the primary communication interface (such as NR/LTE/CDMA/GSM, etc.) of the UE is closed. Status, while the WUR interface is active or intermittently activated as shown in Figure 3. When the base station has data to send to the UE, the wake-up frame is first sent to the WUR interface of the UE, so that the UE wakes up its own main communication interface. The wake-up frame should include the identifier ID of the UE, and the UE only wakes up its own primary communication interface when it detects that the target UE ID of the wake-up frame matches itself.

目前，网络侧标识终端设备的一种方法是使用服务临时移动用户识别码(Service-Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity，S-TMSI)。S-TMSI是全球唯一临时用户标识(Globally Unique Temporary UE Identity，GUTI)的缩短形式，以实现更高效的无线信令流程，用于寻呼和服务请求。Currently, one method for identifying a terminal device on the network side is to use a Service-Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (S-TMSI). S-TMSI is a shortened form of Globally Unique Temporary UE Identity (GUTI) to enable more efficient wireless signaling procedures for paging and service requests.

S-TMSI的构成由图4所示，由8bits的移动管理实体码(MME Code，MMEC)和32bits的MME临时移动用户标识码(MME Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity，M-TMSI)两部分构成。其中，M-TMSI为MME控制范围内唯一的临时移动用户标识。As shown in FIG. 4, the S-TMSI is composed of an 8-bit Mobile Management Entity Code (MME Code, MMEC) and a 32-bit MME Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (M-TMSI). The M-TMSI is the only temporary mobile subscriber identity within the MME control range.

在LTE和NR中，网络侧寻呼用户使用的是S-TMSI，该标识承载于物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel，PDSCH)中。由于PDSCH可承载的信息量较多，所以可以使用S-TMSI进行用户标识。但是，WUS的调制阶数低、可靠性要求高等特征，唤醒帧所能携带的信息量可能有限；此外，在多设备唤醒的应用场景中，唤醒帧还可能要携带多个设备的用户标识ID。故而，较长的用户标识可能不适合在唤醒帧中携带。另外，在无线局域网(Wireless Fidelity，WIFI)中发送唤醒帧WUS时，WUS支持62.5kb/s与250kb/s两种速率，即62.5b/ms与250b/ms。假设WUS中以一个子帧为单位(1ms)来传输一个唤醒帧，则每个唤醒帧只能携带约62bits与250bits的信息。由于唤醒帧中至少还需要携带唤醒指示域，用来指示该帧为唤醒帧，以及其它可能的拓展域。所以在唤醒帧中携带完整的S-TMSI标识指示不一定是最好的标识低功耗设备的方法。In LTE and NR, the network side paging user uses S-TMSI, and the identifier is carried in a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH). Since the PDSCH can carry a large amount of information, the S-TMSI can be used for user identification. However, WUS has low modulation order and high reliability requirements. The amount of information that a wake-up frame can carry may be limited. In addition, in a multi-device wake-up application scenario, the wake-up frame may also carry the user ID of multiple devices. . Therefore, a longer user identification may not be suitable for carrying in a wake-up frame. In addition, when sending wake-up frame WUS in Wireless Fidelity (WIFI), WUS supports 62.5 kb/s and 250 kb/s, namely 62.5 b/ms and 250 b/ms. Assuming that a wake-up frame is transmitted in WUS in units of one subframe (1 ms), each wake-up frame can only carry about 62 bits and 250 bits of information. Since the wake-up frame needs to carry at least a wake-up indication field, it is used to indicate that the frame is a wake-up frame, and other possible extended fields. So carrying a complete S-TMSI identification indication in a wake-up frame is not necessarily the best way to identify a low-power device.

目前，还有另一种网络侧标识终端设备的方法，即使用一个16bits的小区无线网络临时标识(Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier，C-RNTI)，C-RNTI是连接态RRC_CONNECTED的UE在小区内的唯一标识。但是C-RNTI只能用于RRC_CONNECTED态的UE。由于WUR技术可能应用于连接态RRC_CONNECTED和空闲态RRC_IDLE两种状态，而C-RNTI无法应用于RRC_IDLE状态下的低功耗设备，所以使用C-RNTI来标识低功耗设备有场景上的局限。At present, there is another method for identifying a terminal device on the network side, that is, a 16-bit Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) is used, and the C-RNTI is a UE in a connected state RRC_CONNECTED in the cell. Uniquely identifies. However, the C-RNTI can only be used for UEs in the RRC_CONNECTED state. Since the WUR technology may be applied to both the connected state RRC_CONNECTED and the idle state RRC_IDLE, and the C-RNTI cannot be applied to the low power device in the RRC_IDLE state, the use of the C-RNTI to identify the low power device has a scene limitation.

因此本申请提出了一种标识低功耗设备的方法，提出一种适用于低功耗设备的短标识，能够减少标识低功耗设备所需要的比特数，这种短标识更适用于携带有限长度比特的WUS唤醒帧。同时，低功耗设备短标识相比于完整长标识所节省出来的空间，使得多设备唤醒帧的设计更为灵活。Therefore, the present application proposes a method for identifying a low-power device, and proposes a short identifier suitable for a low-power device, which can reduce the number of bits required to identify a low-power device, and the short identifier is more suitable for carrying. WUS wake-up frame of length bits. At the same time, the low-power device short identifier saves space compared to the full-length identifier, making the design of multi-device wake-up frames more flexible.

图5是本申请实施例提供的一例标识低功耗设备的示意图，该方法500可以应用于上述图1和图2所描述的通信***中的网络设备，具体地，应用于包括接入网设备、终端设备和移动性管理实体MME的通信***中的网络设备，所述终端设备包括唤醒射频接口和主接口，所述唤醒射频接口用于产生触发信号，所述触发信号用于激活所述主接口，所述主接口用于所述终端设备和所述接入网设备之间的通信，所述终端设备处于所述MME控制的多个追踪区域TA中的至少一个TA内，应理解，本申请实施例并不限于此。FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of an example of identifying a low power consumption device according to an embodiment of the present application. The method 500 can be applied to the network device in the communication system described in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, specifically, the application includes an access network device. a network device in a communication system of the terminal device and the mobility management entity MME, the terminal device includes a wake-up radio frequency interface and a main interface, the wake-up radio frequency interface is configured to generate a trigger signal, and the trigger signal is used to activate the main An interface, the main interface is used for communication between the terminal device and the access network device, and the terminal device is in at least one of the plurality of tracking areas TA controlled by the MME, it should be understood that The application embodiment is not limited to this.

如前所述，现有的不论是40bits的S-TMSI或32bits的M-TMSI，还是16bits的C-RNTI都具有局限性，本申请提出一种低功耗设备标识，为了描述方便，我们将它称为低功耗设备短标识(Wake-up Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity，WU-TMSI)，该WU-TMSI是TA或TA list内的设备标识。应理解，具体的名字可以由其它名称代替，本申请包括但不限于此。As mentioned above, the existing S-TMSI of 40 bits or the M-TMSI of 32 bits and the C-RNTI of 16 bits have limitations. This application proposes a low-power device identification. For the convenience of description, we will It is called Wake-up Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (WU-TMSI), which is the device identifier in the TA or TA list. It should be understood that specific names may be replaced by other names, and the application includes but is not limited thereto.

应理解，一个MME可以控制多个追踪区域TA，终端设备位于至少一个追踪区域TA内。网络设备为在网的UE分配该WU-TMSI，网络侧可以通过移动性管理网元为低功耗设备分配该WU-TMSI，该移动性管理网元可以是MME。本申请所述的TA列表包括一个MME控制的所述多个TA中的至少一个TA。例如，当TA列表包括5个TA，这5个TA是由同一个MME控制的，那么该WU-TMSI就是这5个TA内的标识；当TA列表包括1个TA，那么该WU-TMSI就是该TA内的唯一标识。It should be understood that one MME may control multiple tracking areas TA, and the terminal equipment is located in at least one tracking area TA. The network device allocates the WU-TMSI to the UE in the network, and the network side may allocate the WU-TMSI to the low-power device through the mobility management network element, where the mobility management network element may be the MME. The TA list described in the present application includes at least one of the plurality of TAs controlled by one MME. For example, when the TA list includes 5 TAs, which are controlled by the same MME, then the WU-TMSI is the identifier in the 5 TAs; when the TA list includes 1 TA, then the WU-TMSI is A unique identifier within the TA.

此外，应理解，本申请实施例中，对该WU-TMSI的限定有以下考虑，当终端设备处在仅一个TA内，则在该TA内，终端设备的WU-TMSI是唯一的；当终端设备同时处在5个TA构成的TA列表中，可能该WU-TMSI不是唯一的，此时多个终端设备的标识可以是相同的，网络侧可以同时唤醒多个功能类似的终端设备。即使WUS误唤醒多个终端设备，但是当终端设备开始用主接口跟网络设备通信，在主接口下网络设备还是用的S-TMSI或M-TMSI来标识终端设备，所以误唤醒后还会有S-TMSI或M-TMSI这种唯一的标识来保障网络设备可以唯一地寻呼目标终端设备。本申请包括但并不限于此。In addition, it should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the definition of the WU-TMSI has the following considerations: when the terminal device is in only one TA, within the TA, the WU-TMSI of the terminal device is unique; The device is in the TA list of the five TAs. The WU-TMSI is not unique. In this case, the identifiers of multiple terminal devices can be the same. The network side can wake up multiple terminal devices with similar functions at the same time. Even if the WUS erroneously wakes up multiple terminal devices, when the terminal device starts to communicate with the network device by using the primary interface, the network device still uses the S-TMSI or M-TMSI to identify the terminal device under the primary interface, so there will be a false wake-up. A unique identifier such as S-TMSI or M-TMSI ensures that the network device can uniquely page the target terminal device. This application includes but is not limited to this.

图6从终端设备和网络设备之间的交互示意图进行详细说明。具体示出了当MME向终端设备UE分配第一标识WU-TMSI时，MME、接入网设备和终端设备之间的具体交互过程。下面，结合图5和图6对本申请实施例的标识低功耗设备的方法进行说明。FIG. 6 is a detailed description of the interaction between the terminal device and the network device. Specifically, a specific interaction process between the MME, the access network device, and the terminal device when the MME allocates the first identifier WU-TMSI to the terminal device UE. Hereinafter, a method for identifying a low power consumption device according to an embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6.

如图6所示，该方法600包括以下内容。As shown in FIG. 6, the method 600 includes the following.

S601，MME向终端设备分配第一标识WU-TMSI，终端设备接收MME分配的第一标识。S601. The MME allocates a first identifier WU-TMSI to the terminal device, and the terminal device receives the first identifier allocated by the MME.

可选地，所述第一标识是所述终端设备在第一TA列表包括的TA的控制范围内的标识，所述第一TA列表包括所述多个TA中的至少一个TA，且所述第一标识的长度小于所述第二标识的长度，所述第二标识是所述终端设备在所述MME控制范围内的唯一标识。Optionally, the first identifier is an identifier of the terminal device within a control range of a TA included in the first TA list, the first TA list includes at least one of the multiple TAs, and the The length of the first identifier is smaller than the length of the second identifier, and the second identifier is a unique identifier of the terminal device within the control range of the MME.

第二标识是MME控制范围内唯一的临时移动用户标识S-TMSI或M-TMSI，因为M-TMSI包含有32bits的指示信息，而S-TMSI在32bits的M-TMSI基础上，还有8bits的MME的标识，信息量较大，本申请实施例引入第一标识，该第一标识是第一标识是在一个TA或一个TA列表(一个TA列表包含多个TA)内的标识，能够减小比特数，便于在唤醒帧中携带，适应唤醒帧承载比特数有限的特点。The second identifier is a unique temporary mobile subscriber identity S-TMSI or M-TMSI within the MME control range, because the M-TMSI includes 32-bit indication information, and the S-TMSI is based on the 32-bit M-TMSI and 8 bits. The MME has a large amount of information, and the first embodiment of the present application is to introduce a first identifier, where the first identifier is an identifier in a TA or a TA list (a TA list includes multiple TAs), which can be reduced. The number of bits is convenient to carry in the wake-up frame, and is adapted to the feature that the wake-up frame carries a limited number of bits.

应理解，一个MME可以控制多个追踪区域TA，终端设备位于至少一个追踪区域TA内。网络设备为在网的UE分配该WU-TMSI，该WU-TMSI是TA或TA list内的设备标识。本申请所述的TA列表包括一个MME控制的所述多个TA中的至少一个TA。例如，当终端设备处在仅一个TA内，则在该TA内，终端设备的WU-TMSI是唯一的；当终端设备同时处在多个TA构成的TA列表中，该WU-TMSI可以不是唯一的，It should be understood that one MME may control multiple tracking areas TA, and the terminal equipment is located in at least one tracking area TA. The network device allocates the WU-TMSI to the UE in the network, and the WU-TMSI is the device identifier in the TA or TA list. The TA list described in the present application includes at least one of the plurality of TAs controlled by one MME. For example, when the terminal device is in only one TA, the WU-TMSI of the terminal device is unique within the TA; when the terminal device is simultaneously in the TA list composed of multiple TAs, the WU-TMSI may not be unique of,

可选地，所述第一标识是基于所述第二标识生成的。具体地，有以下三种可能的实现方式。Optionally, the first identifier is generated based on the second identifier. Specifically, there are three possible implementations.

方式一：method one:

作为一种可能的实现方式，所述第一标识的序列是从所述第二标识的序列中截取的。例如，所述第一标识的序列是对S-TMSI或M-TMSI的序列进行部分截取生成的。As a possible implementation manner, the sequence of the first identifier is intercepted from the sequence of the second identifier. For example, the sequence of the first identifier is generated by partially intercepting a sequence of S-TMSI or M-TMSI.

例如，图7所示，8bits的MMEC和32bitsM-TMSI组成40bits的S-TMSI，可以对S-TMSI的前24位进行截取，则有WU-TMSI＝MMEC+Partial M-TMSI。For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the 8-bit MMEC and the 32-bit M-TMSI form a 40-bit S-TMSI, and the first 24 bits of the S-TMSI can be intercepted, and there is WU-TMSI=MMEC+Partial M-TMSI.

对于图7的WU-TMSI生成方案，继承了原有的一般ID构成方式，即WU-TMSI的构成是：管理区域+区域内ID。该方案的好处是便于核心网设备MME基于MME进行终端设备的追踪。但Partial M-TMSI域只有16bits意味着只能对同一MME下的终端设备进行至多65536个分组(组里包含一个或多个终端设备)。For the WU-TMSI generation scheme of FIG. 7, the original general ID configuration is inherited, that is, the composition of the WU-TMSI is: the management area + the intra-area ID. The advantage of this scheme is that it facilitates the core network device MME to perform tracking of the terminal device based on the MME. However, only 16 bits of the Partial M-TMSI domain means that only up to 65536 packets can be made to the terminal devices in the same MME (the group contains one or more terminal devices).

或者，如图8所示，可以对S-TMSI的后24位进行截取，则有WU-TMSI＝Partial M-TMSI。Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 8, the last 24 bits of the S-TMSI may be intercepted, and then there is WU-TMSI=Partial M-TMSI.

对于图8的WU-TMSI生成方案，WU-TMSI的24bits都取于M-TMSI，即区域内ID。ID的随机性比图7的截取方案高。换言之，对于一个终端设备，在TA list下发生WU-TMSI重复的几率要比图7的截取方案小很多，即被误唤醒的几率就要小很多。For the WU-TMSI generation scheme of FIG. 8, the 24 bits of the WU-TMSI are taken from the M-TMSI, that is, the intra-area ID. The randomness of the ID is higher than the interception scheme of FIG. In other words, for a terminal device, the probability of a WU-TMSI repetition occurring under the TA list is much smaller than that of the interception scheme of FIG. 7, that is, the probability of being erroneously awakened is much smaller.

在方式一提供的方案下，基站可以用1bit的指示信息来指示终端设备使用前截取还是后截取，用5bits的指示信息来指示截取多少位。基站在唤醒帧WUS中需要唤醒终端设备时，直接在目标终端设备的ID域携带WU-TMSI。终端设备检测到WUS中目标终端设备的ID域与自身的WU-TMSI相同时，随即唤醒主通信接口与基站通信。In the solution provided by the first method, the base station can use the 1 bit indication information to indicate whether the terminal device intercepts or intercepts before using, and uses 5 bits of indication information to indicate how many bits are intercepted. When the base station needs to wake up the terminal device in the wake-up frame WUS, the base station directly carries the WU-TMSI in the ID field of the target terminal device. When the terminal device detects that the ID field of the target terminal device in the WUS is the same as its own WU-TMSI, the terminal device wakes up and communicates with the base station.

方式二：Method 2:

所述第一标识的序列是基于预设的函数对所述第二标识的序列进行变换后生成的。例如，所述第一标识的序列是对S-TMSI或M-TMSI的序列进行变换处理后生成的。The sequence of the first identifier is generated by transforming the sequence of the second identifier based on a preset function. For example, the sequence of the first identifier is generated by transforming a sequence of S-TMSI or M-TMSI.

可选地，一种变换处理的实施例分为两步：1.对S-TMSI或M-TMSI截取比特串；2.使用MMEC和/或TAC对比特串加扰。这里，TAC指的是追踪区域TA的ID。Optionally, an embodiment of transform processing is divided into two steps: 1. intercepting a bit string for S-TMSI or M-TMSI; 2. scrambling the bit string using MMEC and/or TAC. Here, the TAC refers to the ID of the tracking area TA.

第二步，对所得比特串与MMEC String和TAC String进行错位异或运算，得到WU-TMSI，如图9所示。In the second step, the obtained bit string is misaligned or XORed with the MMEC String and the TAC String to obtain the WU-TMSI, as shown in FIG.

不失一般性，图9的第一步对S-TMSI的后24bits进行了截取作为示例。实际应用中，截取的比特数和位置是可以灵活变化的。Without loss of generality, the first step of Figure 9 takes an interception of the last 24 bits of the S-TMSI as an example. In practical applications, the number and location of intercepted bits can be flexibly changed.

假设WU-TMSI需要x bits(x>＝16)，那么MMEC string为对MMEC前插或者后插(x-8)个0比特之后所得比特串。TAC string为对TAC前插或者后插(x-16)个0比特之后所得比特串。Assuming that the WU-TMSI requires x bits (x >= 16), the MMEC string is a bit string obtained by pre-interpolating or post-inserting (x-8) 0 bits to the MMEC. The TAC string is a bit string obtained after pre-interpolating or post-inserting (x-16) 0 bits to the TAC.

方式三：Method three:

所述第一标识的序列是基于随机生成函数生成的。即基站可以使用任意序列随机生成函数产生WU-TMSI，并配置给终端设备。The sequence of the first identification is generated based on a random generation function. That is, the base station can generate the WU-TMSI using any sequence random generation function and configure it to the terminal device.

若基站和终端设备都知道序列随机生成函数的具体表达，基站也可以通过给终端设备配置序列随机生成函数的参数，由终端设备在终端设备本地生成WU-TMSI。If both the base station and the terminal device know the specific expression of the sequence random generation function, the base station may also generate the WU-TMSI locally by the terminal device by configuring the parameters of the sequence random generation function for the terminal device.

以上方案提出了一种适用于低功耗设备的短标识WU-TMSI，适应唤醒帧承载比特数有限的特点，使得标识终端设备所需要的比特数减少，更适用于携带有限长度比特的WUS唤醒帧。低功耗设备短标识相比于完整长标识所节省出来的空间，使得多设备唤醒帧的设计更为灵活。The above scheme proposes a short identifier WU-TMSI suitable for low-power devices, which is adapted to the limited number of bearer bits of the wake-up frame, so that the number of bits required for identifying the terminal device is reduced, and is more suitable for WUS wake-up carrying finite-length bits. frame. The low-power device short tag saves space compared to the full long tag, making the design of multi-device wake-up frames more flexible.

此外，第一标识可以由MME生成，在这种情况下，MME按照上述任一种可能的方式来生成该第一标识。例如，首先，终端设备向网络设备发送标识请求消息，或TA更新消息，请求网络设备为终端设备分配低功耗设备标识WU-TMSI。其次，MME接收该请求消息，并生成该第一标识WU-TMSI。然后，MME向终端设备分配该第一标识，具体地，分配第一标识可以通过无线资源控制信令(Radio Resource Control，RRC)或媒体接入控制层信令(Media Access Control element，MAC CE)等方式配置给终端设备。Furthermore, the first identity may be generated by the MME, in which case the MME generates the first identity in any of the above possible ways. For example, first, the terminal device sends an identifier request message or a TA update message to the network device, requesting the network device to allocate the low power device identifier WU-TMSI to the terminal device. Second, the MME receives the request message and generates the first identifier WU-TMSI. Then, the MME allocates the first identifier to the terminal device. Specifically, the first identifier may be allocated by Radio Resource Control (RRC) or Media Access Control Element (MAC CE). The mode is configured to the terminal device.

此种情况下，MME维护一个MME控制范围内所有终端设备的M-TMSI对WU-TMSI的ID映射表，如下表1所示，该表内的映射是一一映射的。下表1中，终端设备在国际范围内的唯一标识(International Mobile Subscriber Identification Number，IMSI)、终端设备在MME控制范围内唯一标识M-TMSI或S-TMSI和该第一标识WU-TMSI之间具有一一映射关系。In this case, the MME maintains an M-TMSI-to-WU-TMSI ID mapping table for all terminal devices in the MME control range. As shown in Table 1 below, the mappings in the table are one-to-one mapping. In the following Table 1, the International Mobile Subscriber Identification Number (IMSI) of the terminal device, and the terminal device uniquely identifies the M-TMSI or S-TMSI and the first identifier WU-TMSI within the MME control range. Have a one-to-one mapping relationship.

或者，另一种情况，MME向终端设备分配标识过程中，由终端设备来生成所述第一标识，MME向终端设备发送指示消息，该指示消息用于指示所述终端设备生成该第一标识，该指示消息包括生成第一标识的参数或函数等。终端设备收到该指示消息后，根据该参数或函数生成第一标识，具体地，可以按照前述任一种方式生成该第一标识，为了简便，此处不再赘述。Or, in another case, the MME sends the first identifier to the terminal device, and the MME sends an indication message to the terminal device, where the indication message is used to instruct the terminal device to generate the first identifier. The indication message includes a parameter or function that generates the first identifier, and the like. After receiving the indication message, the terminal device generates the first identifier according to the parameter or the function. Specifically, the first identifier may be generated according to any one of the foregoing manners.

应理解，当终端设备处在仅一个TA内，上述S601的执行可以只用于终端设备在TA之间移动的时候，或者，当终端设备同时处在多个TA构成的TA列表中，上述S601的执行可以只用于终端设备在TA列表之间移动的时候等各种可能的情况。可选地，上述S601的执行还可以用于当终端设备初始接入该网络设备时，或者接收网络侧寻呼的多个时刻，本申请实施例包括但不限于此。It should be understood that when the terminal device is located in only one TA, the execution of the above S601 may be used only when the terminal device moves between the TAs, or when the terminal device is simultaneously in the TA list composed of multiple TAs, the above S601 The execution can be used only for various possible situations when the terminal device moves between the TA lists. Optionally, the foregoing implementation of the S601 may be used to: when the terminal device initially accesses the network device, or receives multiple times of paging on the network side, the embodiments of the present application include but are not limited thereto.

S602，MME向接入网设备发送第一寻呼消息，所述第一寻呼消息用于对所述终端设备发起寻呼。S602. The MME sends a first paging message to the access network device, where the first paging message is used to initiate paging to the terminal device.

可选地，所述第一寻呼消息可以携带所述第一标识。对MME而言，MME为终端设备分配第一标识，所以MME对该终端设备发起寻呼时可以携带该第一标识WU-TMSI。Optionally, the first paging message may carry the first identifier. For the MME, the MME allocates the first identifier to the terminal device, so the MME may carry the first identifier WU-TMSI when the terminal device initiates paging.

S603，基站接收MME发送的第一寻呼消息，并执行S604对自身所接入的终端设备发送唤醒帧，所述唤醒帧携带所述第一标识。S603. The base station receives the first paging message sent by the MME, and performs S604 to send a wake-up frame to the terminal device that is accessed by the MME, and the wake-up frame carries the first identifier.

基站在MME寻呼终端设备的过程中，起到桥梁作用，基站接收MME的第一寻呼消息，获得第一寻呼消息中的终端设备的标识，并向接入的多个终端设备发送唤醒帧。该基站可能接入多个终端设备，多个终端设备收到唤醒帧后，获取该唤醒帧中携带的终端设备的标识。The base station acts as a bridge in the process of paging the terminal device by the MME. The base station receives the first paging message of the MME, obtains the identifier of the terminal device in the first paging message, and sends the wakeup to the accessed multiple terminal devices. frame. The base station may access multiple terminal devices, and after receiving the wake-up frame, the multiple terminal devices acquire the identifier of the terminal device carried in the wake-up frame.

S605，终端设备通过唤醒射频模块WUR接收基站发送的唤醒帧WUS，所述唤醒帧WUS携带所述第一标识WU-TMSI。S605. The terminal device receives the wake-up frame WUS sent by the base station by using the wake-up radio frequency module WUR, where the wake-up frame WUS carries the first identifier WU-TMSI.

所述终端设备接收唤醒帧WUS后，执行图5中S502，所述终端设备在根据所述第一标识确定所述第一消息有效后，根据所述第一消息，控制所述唤醒射频接口产生触发信号，以激活所述主接口。After receiving the wake-up frame WUS, the terminal device performs S502 in FIG. 5, and after determining that the first message is valid according to the first identifier, the terminal device controls the wake-up radio frequency interface to generate according to the first message. A trigger signal to activate the primary interface.

由于终端设备配置了WUR接口，当基站没有数据向终端设备发送且终端设备也没有数据传输时，终端设备的主通信接口处于关闭状态，而WUR接口处于激活状态或间歇性激活状态。当基站有数据向终端设备发送时，首先向终端设备的WUR接口发送唤醒帧WUS，以便使终端设备唤醒自己的主通信接口。其中，唤醒帧应当包含终端设备的标识ID，只有终端设备检测到唤醒帧的目标ID和自身匹配的时候才唤醒自己的主通信接口。Since the terminal device is configured with the WUR interface, when the base station does not send data to the terminal device and the terminal device does not have data transmission, the primary communication interface of the terminal device is in the off state, and the WUR interface is in the activated state or intermittently activated state. When the base station has data to send to the terminal device, the wake-up frame WUS is first sent to the WUR interface of the terminal device, so that the terminal device wakes up its own main communication interface. The wake-up frame should include the identifier ID of the terminal device, and only the terminal device wakes up its own main communication interface when it detects that the target ID of the wake-up frame matches itself.

终端设备接收到基站发送的唤醒帧，获取该唤醒帧所携带的第一标识WU-TMSI，并将此标识和自身标识进行对比。通过比对，如果该标识和自身标识一致时，接收该唤醒帧，并触发WUR产生触发信号，用于触发并激活主接口。主模块通常处于关闭状态，只有当收到来自WUR模块的触发信号时，主模块才会激活，然后通过主模块与基站进行数据通信。The terminal device receives the wake-up frame sent by the base station, obtains the first identifier WU-TMSI carried by the wake-up frame, and compares the identifier with the identifier. By comparison, if the identifier is consistent with the self-identification, the wake-up frame is received, and the WUR is triggered to generate a trigger signal for triggering and activating the main interface. The main module is usually in the off state. Only when the trigger signal from the WUR module is received, the main module is activated, and then the main module communicates with the base station.

如果该标识和自身标识不一致时，丢弃该唤醒帧，不需要产生触发信号来唤醒主接口。其中，触发信号可是由WUR模块发送给主模块的中断信号，用于触发主模块进入激活状态，触发信号是UE内部信号，可通过有线或无线方式传输。需要说明的是，上述WUR模块发送触发信号给主模块是逻辑上的，在实际***中，WUR接口也可以将收到的唤醒信号转发给处理器，由处理器决定是否唤醒主模块，此时，触发信号实际上是由处理器发出的，或由处理器指示其它模块发出的。应理解，本申请实施例包括但不限于此。If the identifier and the self-identity are inconsistent, the wake-up frame is discarded, and no trigger signal is generated to wake up the main interface. The trigger signal may be an interrupt signal sent by the WUR module to the main module, and is used to trigger the main module to enter an activation state, and the trigger signal is an internal signal of the UE, and may be transmitted by wire or wirelessly. It should be noted that the above WUR module sends a trigger signal to the main module in a logical manner. In an actual system, the WUR interface can also forward the received wake-up signal to the processor, and the processor determines whether to wake up the main module. The trigger signal is actually sent by the processor or directed by the processor to other modules. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application include but are not limited thereto.

当完成上述流程，终端设备已经激活主接口122，该网络设备执行图5中S520，所述网络设备向所述终端设备发送第一数据，所述第一数据的格式是与所述主接口相匹配的格式。When the foregoing process is completed, the terminal device has activated the primary interface 122, and the network device performs S520 in FIG. 5. The network device sends the first data to the terminal device, where the format of the first data is related to the primary interface. The format of the match.

在之后网络设备和终端设备环节，通过各自的主接口进行通信，在主接口下网络设备还是用的S-TMSI或M-TMSI来标识终端设备，所以误唤醒后还会有S-TMSI或M-TMSI这种唯一的标识来保障网络设备可以唯一地寻呼目标终端设备。所以即使误唤醒后还会有S-TMSI或M-TMSI这种唯一的标识来保障网络设备可以唯一地寻呼目标终端设备。After the network device and the terminal device link, communication is performed through the respective main interfaces, and the network device still uses the S-TMSI or M-TMSI to identify the terminal device under the main interface, so there will be S-TMSI or M after the false wake-up. - TMSI is a unique identifier to ensure that the network device can uniquely page the target terminal device. Therefore, even if the error is awakened, there will be a unique identifier such as S-TMSI or M-TMSI to ensure that the network device can uniquely page the target terminal device.

本申请实施例中，网络设备向终端设备的唤醒射频WUR发送唤醒帧WUS，是基于第一通信方式，即该WUS的数据格式是终端设备的唤醒射频WUR可以识别和获取的。这样的通信方式保证了除WUR之外的接口不会误接该唤醒帧WUS。In the embodiment of the present application, the network device sends the wake-up frame WUS to the wake-up radio frequency WUR of the terminal device, which is based on the first communication mode, that is, the data format of the WUS is that the wake-up radio frequency WUR of the terminal device can be identified and acquired. Such a communication method ensures that an interface other than the WUR does not misconnect the wake-up frame WUS.

上述技术方案，通过移动性管理实体MME为MME控制范围内的终端设备分配一个WU-TMSI，并更新MME控制范围内的ID映射表。此后若终端设备进入了WUR激活模式，在网络侧需要对该终端设备进行寻呼的时候，网络侧可以以S-TMSI向MME指示寻呼该终端设备。MME根据本地的ID映射表，向低功耗设备所属的TA或TAI list下的基站发送寻呼请求，其中携带该终端设备的低功耗短标识WU-TMSI，指示这些基站以短标识WU-TMSI寻呼终端设备。随后，基站在WUS中携带目标WU-TMSI来唤醒目标终端设备，当目标终端设备发现WUS中携带的目标WU-TMSI与自身所被分配的WU-TMSI一致时，唤醒主接口，进而通过主接口与基站进行通信。In the above technical solution, the mobility management entity MME allocates one WU-TMSI to the terminal equipment in the MME control range, and updates the ID mapping table in the MME control range. Thereafter, if the terminal device enters the WUR activation mode, and the network side needs to page the terminal device, the network side may indicate to the MME to page the terminal device by using the S-TMSI. The MME sends a paging request to the base station under the TA or TAI list to which the low-power device belongs according to the local ID mapping table, and carries the low-power short identifier WU-TMSI of the terminal device, indicating that the base stations are short-identified by the WU- TMSI paging terminal equipment. Then, the base station carries the target WU-TMSI in the WUS to wake up the target terminal device. When the target terminal device finds that the target WU-TMSI carried in the WUS is consistent with the WU-TMSI allocated by itself, the base station wakes up the main interface, and then passes through the main interface. Communicate with the base station.

上述流程中，网络侧分配WU-TMSI时，终端设备应处于RRC_Connected态。而基站发送WUS时，终端设备可处于RRC_Connected态或RRC_Idle态。In the above process, when the network side allocates WU-TMSI, the terminal device should be in the RRC_Connected state. When the base station sends the WUS, the terminal device may be in the RRC_Connected state or the RRC_Idle state.

除了上述有MME为终端设备分配低功耗短标识WU-TMSI，网络侧还可以通过基站为低功耗设备分配WU-TMSI。In addition to the foregoing, the MME allocates a low power consumption short identifier WU-TMSI to the terminal device, and the network side can also allocate WU-TMSI to the low power consumption device through the base station.

如图10所示，图10是本申请实施例提供的又一例标识低功耗设备的示意图，图 10也应用于上述图1和图2所描述的通信***。图10从终端设备和网络设备之间的交互示意图进行详细说明。具体示出了当基站向终端设备分配第一标识WU-TMSI时，MME、基站和终端设备之间的具体交互过程。下面，结合图10和图11对本申请实施例的标识低功耗设备的方法进行说明。在一个MME控制范围内包含多个追踪区域TA，一个TA内又可以包括多个基站，本实施例中，以基站1、基站2至基站n进行说明。As shown in FIG. 10, FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of still another example of identifying a low power consumption device according to an embodiment of the present application. FIG. 10 is also applied to the communication system described in FIG. 1 and FIG. FIG. 10 is a detailed description of the interaction between the terminal device and the network device. Specifically, a specific interaction process between the MME, the base station, and the terminal device when the base station allocates the first identifier WU-TMSI to the terminal device is specifically illustrated. Hereinafter, a method for identifying a low power consumption device according to an embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to FIG. 10 and FIG. A plurality of tracking areas TA are included in one MME control range, and a plurality of base stations may be included in one TA. In this embodiment, the base station 1 and the base station 2 to the base station n are described.

如图10所示，该方法1000包括以下内容。As shown in FIG. 10, the method 1000 includes the following.

S1001，基站1向终端设备分配第一标识WU-TMSI，终端设备接收MME分配的第一标识。S1001: The base station 1 allocates a first identifier WU-TMSI to the terminal device, and the terminal device receives the first identifier allocated by the MME.

S1002，基站1指示同一TA区域内的所有基站之间ID映射表的更新。S1002. The base station 1 indicates an update of the ID mapping table between all base stations in the same TA area.

具体地，上述过程中，由基站为终端设备分配一个WU-TMSI，基站通过X2接口等方式向同一个TA下的其它基站指示更新ID映射表。应理解，X2接口是基站之间的互连接口，能够实现数据和信令的直接传输。同一个TA下的基站维护一个TA内所有终端设备的S-TMSI对WU-TMSI(或M-TMSI对WU-TMSI)的ID映射表，如下表2所示，该终端设备的第一标识WU-TMS和S-TMSI是一一映射的。Specifically, in the foregoing process, the base station allocates one WU-TMSI to the terminal device, and the base station indicates the update ID mapping table to other base stations under the same TA by using an X2 interface or the like. It should be understood that the X2 interface is an interconnection interface between base stations, enabling direct transmission of data and signaling. The base station of the same TA maintains the ID mapping table of the S-TMSI to the WU-TMSI (or the M-TMSI to the WU-TMSI) of all the terminal devices in a TA, as shown in Table 2 below, the first identifier of the terminal device WU - TMS and S-TMSI are one-to-one mapping.

通过基站之间的终端设备映射表的更新，一个TA下的所有基站都可以对终端设备的标识形成共识。Through the update of the terminal device mapping table between the base stations, all base stations under one TA can form a consensus on the identity of the terminal device.

此后若终端设备进入了WUR激活模式，在网络侧需要对该终端设备进行寻呼的时候，可以执行如图11所示的流程。图11是本申请实施例提供的又一例标识低功耗设备的示意图。此后，当网络侧要对终端设备发起寻呼，可以向MME以S-TMSI指示寻呼该终端设备。MME向低功耗设备所属的TA下的所有基站(例如基站1，基站2到基站n)以S-TMSI指示寻呼终端设备。随后，基站根据本地的ID映射表，在唤醒帧WUS中携带目标WU-TMSI来唤醒目标终端设备，当目标终端设备发现WUS中携带的目标WU-TMSI与自身所被分配的WU-TMSI一致时，唤醒主接口，进而通过主接口与基站进行通信。Thereafter, if the terminal device enters the WUR activation mode, and the network side needs to page the terminal device, the process shown in FIG. 11 can be performed. FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of still another example of identifying a low power consumption device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Thereafter, when the network side wants to initiate paging to the terminal device, the terminal device can be paged to the MME with an S-TMSI indication. The MME indicates to the paging terminal device with S-TMSI to all base stations (e.g., base station 1, base station 2 to base station n) under the TA to which the low power consumption device belongs. Then, the base station carries the target WU-TMSI in the wake-up frame WUS to wake up the target terminal device according to the local ID mapping table. When the target terminal device finds that the target WU-TMSI carried in the WUS is consistent with the WU-TMSI allocated by itself, The main interface is awake, and then communicates with the base station through the main interface.

具体地，如图11所示，该方法1100包括以下内容。Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the method 1100 includes the following.

S1101，MME向基站发起第一寻呼消息，所述第一寻呼消息携带第二标识。例如，第二标识就是S-TMSI或M-TMSI。S1101: The MME sends a first paging message to the base station, where the first paging message carries the second identifier. For example, the second identifier is S-TMSI or M-TMSI.

可选地，此步骤还可以携带第一标识，前提是基站在给终端设备分配低功耗设备短标识WU-TMSI之后，以一定的方式告诉MME该低功耗设备短标识WU-TMSI。如果MME已经有终端设备的短标识信息，则，MME向基站发起寻呼也可以携带该低功耗设备短标识WU-TMSI，即前述的第一标识。应理解，本申请包括但不限于此。Optionally, the step may further carry the first identifier, if the base station notifies the MME of the low-power device short identifier WU-TMSI in a certain manner after allocating the low-power device short identifier WU-TMSI to the terminal device. If the MME already has the short identifier information of the terminal device, the MME may also carry the low power consumption device short identifier WU-TMSI, that is, the foregoing first identifier. It should be understood that the application includes but is not limited thereto.

S1102，基站向终端设备发送唤醒帧WUS，所述唤醒帧携带所述第一标识。S1102: The base station sends a wake-up frame WUS to the terminal device, where the wake-up frame carries the first identifier.

S1103，终端设备接收所述唤醒帧，在根据所述第一标识确定所述唤醒帧有效后，根据所述唤醒帧，控制所述唤醒射频接口产生触发信号，以激活所述主接口，所述终端设备通过所述主接口，与所述网络设备通信。S1103: The terminal device receives the wake-up frame, and after determining that the wake-up frame is valid according to the first identifier, controlling, by the wake-up frame, the wake-up radio interface to generate a trigger signal to activate the primary interface, where The terminal device communicates with the network device through the primary interface.

网络设备基于第一通信方式向终端设备的唤醒射频WUR发送唤醒帧WUS，该WUS激活该WUR产生触发信号，激活终端设备的主接口。之后网络设备可以和终端设备时间通信。例如，网络设备向终端设备发送第一数据，终端设备通过主接口接收该第一数据，这样的通信过程是基于第二通信方式进行的。即第一数据的格式是终端设备的主接口可以接收和识别的数据格式。本申请实施例包括但并不限于此。上述过程中，基站之间的协调还应避免同一个TA下分配的WU-TMSI出现重复的问题。The network device sends a wake-up frame WUS to the wake-up radio frequency WUR of the terminal device according to the first communication manner, and the WUS activates the WUR to generate a trigger signal to activate the main interface of the terminal device. The network device can then communicate with the terminal device at a time. For example, the network device sends the first data to the terminal device, and the terminal device receives the first data through the primary interface, and the communication process is performed based on the second communication manner. That is, the format of the first data is a data format that the main interface of the terminal device can receive and recognize. Embodiments of the application include, but are not limited to, this. In the above process, the coordination between the base stations should also avoid the problem of duplication of the WU-TMSI allocated under the same TA.

WU-TMSI是终端设备在一个TA或TA list内具有唯一性的低功耗设备标识。当处于WUR激活模式的终端设备因移动而发生TA更新时，网络侧可在TA更新过程中通过图6或图10的所述流程为终端设备分配新的WU-TMSI，WU-TMSI可以在跟踪区域更新接受TRACKING AREA UPDATE ACCEPT消息内容里携带。例如，终端设备在监听WUS同步帧的时候发现低功耗设备移动到所储存的TA list之外的新TA，则唤醒主接口执行TA更新流程。在这个过程中，网络侧通过图6或图10所述流程为终端设备分配新的WU-TMSI。WU-TMSI is a low-power device identifier that is unique to a terminal device within a TA or TA list. When the terminal device in the WUR activation mode generates a TA update due to the movement, the network side may allocate a new WU-TMSI to the terminal device through the process of FIG. 6 or FIG. 10 during the TA update process, and the WU-TMSI may be tracked. The zone update is carried in the content of the TRACKING AREA UPDATE ACCEPT message. For example, when the terminal device monitors the WUS synchronization frame and finds that the low-power device moves to a new TA other than the stored TA list, the wake-up main interface performs a TA update process. In this process, the network side allocates a new WU-TMSI to the terminal device through the process described in FIG. 6 or FIG.

需要说明的是，一个终端设备可能同时属于多个TA，即一个终端设备与一个TA列表(TA List)对应，TA List中可包括一个或多个TA。这种情况下，上述描述中的TA应替换为TA List，WU-TMSI应是终端设备在其对应的TA List内具有唯一性的低功耗设备标识。It should be noted that one terminal device may belong to multiple TAs at the same time, that is, one terminal device corresponds to one TA list, and one or more TAs may be included in the TA List. In this case, the TA in the above description should be replaced with a TA List, and the WU-TMSI should be a low-power device identifier that the terminal device has unique within its corresponding TA List.

综上所述，基于本申请实施例提供的方法，基站在发送WUS以唤醒处于RRC_Connected态和RRC_IDLE态终端设备时，WUS中的目标终端设备标识由下述两种可能的实现方式。In summary, based on the method provided by the embodiment of the present application, when the base station sends the WUS to wake up the terminal device in the RRC_Connected state and the RRC_IDLE state, the target terminal device identifier in the WUS is implemented by the following two possible implementation manners.

方式一：method one:

无论终端设备处于连接态RRC_CONNECTED还是空闲态RRC_IDLE，WUS中的目标终端设备标识均使用低功耗短标识WU-TMSI。这种标识方法能够使唤醒帧WUS携带比特长度较短且固定的信息，简化了WUS中数据结构的设计。Regardless of whether the terminal device is in the connected state RRC_CONNECTED or the idle state RRC_IDLE, the target terminal device identifier in the WUS uses the low power short identifier WU-TMSI. This identification method enables the wake-up frame WUS to carry shorter and fixed bit length information, simplifying the design of the data structure in the WUS.

方式二：Method 2:

对于RRC_IDLE态终端设备，WUS中的目标终端设备标识为WU-TMSI；对于RRC_CONNECTED态终端设备，WUS中的目标终端设备标识为终端设备的小区级唯一标识，如C-RNTI。For the RRC_IDLE state terminal device, the target terminal device identifier in the WUS is WU-TMSI; for the RRC_CONNECTED state terminal device, the target terminal device identifier in the WUS is a cell-level unique identifier of the terminal device, such as a C-RNTI.

由于终端设备当前处于何种状态，网络侧和终端设备侧都是知道的，相应地，网络侧应当发送何种目标终端设备标识、终端设备应当接收何种目标终端设备标识自然也是双方都清楚无误的知道的。Because the terminal device is currently in the state, both the network side and the terminal device side are aware. Accordingly, what kind of target terminal device identifier should be sent by the network side and what target terminal device identifier the terminal device should receive is naturally clear to both parties. Know that.

因此，这种方法能够缩短RRC_CONNECTED态下WUS中的信息比特长度，并且不会造成基站发送WUS和终端设备接收WUS时的模糊。由于存在两种WUS长度，基站应支持两种长度WUS的发送，终端设备应支持两种长度WUS的接收。Therefore, this method can shorten the information bit length in the WUS in the RRC_CONNECTED state, and does not cause blurring when the base station transmits the WUS and the terminal device receives the WUS. Since there are two WUS lengths, the base station should support the transmission of two lengths of WUS, and the terminal equipment should support the reception of two lengths of WUS.

另外，应理解，对于前述终端设备，WU-TMSI可以是TA或TAI list内唯一的标识。在实际应用中，对于物联网中如智能抄表等应用场景，场景内设备的WU-TMSI可以是不唯一的，这样可以实现组唤醒操作。In addition, it should be understood that for the aforementioned terminal device, the WU-TMSI may be a unique identifier within the TA or TAI list. In practical applications, for an application scenario such as smart meter reading in the Internet of Things, the WU-TMSI of the device in the scenario may not be unique, so that the group wake-up operation can be implemented.

通信单元1210还用于所述终端设备通过所述主接口，与所述网络设备通信。The communication unit 1210 is further configured to communicate with the network device by the terminal device through the primary interface.

可选地，所述第一标识是基于所述第二标识生成的。Optionally, the first identifier is generated based on the second identifier.

具体地，所述第一标识的序列是从所述第二标识的序列中截取的，或所述第一标识的序列是基于预设的函数对所述第二标识的序列进行变换后生成的。Specifically, the sequence of the first identifier is intercepted from the sequence of the second identifier, or the sequence of the first identifier is generated by transforming a sequence of the second identifier based on a preset function. .

可选地，所述第一标识的序列是基于随机生成函数生成的。Optionally, the sequence of the first identifier is generated based on a random generation function.

上述所涉及的第一标识具体生成过程参见前述说明，为了简便，此处不再赘述。应理解，第一标识的生成可以由通信装置1200的处理单元1220来完成，也可以是通信单元1210接收网络设备发送的第一标识，本申请包括但不限于此。For the specific generation process of the first identifier involved in the above, refer to the foregoing description, and for brevity, no further details are provided herein. It should be understood that the generation of the first identifier may be performed by the processing unit 1220 of the communication device 1200, or the communication unit 1210 may receive the first identifier sent by the network device, and the application includes but is not limited thereto.

作为一种可能的实现方式，所述通信单元1210通过所述唤醒射频接口接收第一消息之前，所述处理单元1220用于生成所述第一标识；所述通信单元1210向所述网络设备发送所述第一标识的指示信息。As a possible implementation manner, before the communication unit 1210 receives the first message by using the wake-up radio frequency interface, the processing unit 1220 is configured to generate the first identifier; the communication unit 1210 sends the first identifier to the network device. The indication information of the first identifier.

另一种可能的实现方式中，所述通信单元1210通过所述唤醒射频接口接收第一消息之前，所述通信单元1210接收所述网络设备发送的所述第一标识的指示信息。In another possible implementation, before the communication unit 1210 receives the first message by using the wake-up radio interface, the communication unit 1210 receives the indication information of the first identifier sent by the network device.

可选地，当所述处理单元1220判在所述终端设备处于连接态时，所述处理单元1220将所述终端设备的小区无线网络临时标识C-RNTI确定为所述第一标识。Optionally, when the processing unit 1220 determines that the terminal device is in a connected state, the processing unit 1220 determines a cell radio network temporary identifier C-RNTI of the terminal device as the first identifier.

处理单元1220可以先判断改通信装置1200所处的状态，例如当处理单元1220判断改通信装置1200处于连接态RRC_CONNECTED还是空闲态RRC_IDLE。不论是连接态RRC_CONNECTED还是空闲态RRC_IDLE，处理单元1220均将低功耗短标识WU-TMSI作为WUS中的目标终端设备标识。这种标识方法能够使唤醒帧WUS携带比特长度较短且固定的信息，简化了WUS中数据结构的设计。The processing unit 1220 may first determine the state in which the communication device 1200 is located, for example, when the processing unit 1220 determines whether the communication device 1200 is in the connected state RRC_CONNECTED or the idle state RRC_IDLE.
