It will be understood that, the information processing system described in the embodiments of the present disclosure is for more clearly describing the technical solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and is not limited to the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, and those skilled in the art can know that, with the evolution of the system architecture and the appearance of new service scenarios, the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is applicable to similar technical problems.

The embodiments of the present disclosure described below may be applied to the information processing system 100 shown in fig. 1, or a part of a main body, but are not limited thereto. The respective bodies shown in fig. 1 are examples, and the information processing system may include all or part of the bodies in fig. 1, or may include other bodies than fig. 1, and the number and form of the respective bodies are arbitrary, and the connection relationship between the respective bodies is examples, and the respective bodies may be not connected or may be connected, and the connection may be arbitrary, direct connection or indirect connection, or wired connection or wireless connection.

In some embodiments, the power consumption of the 5G base station is about 4 times that of the LTE base station, so network energy saving is an important means for operators to reduce the cost of operating the 5G system.

In some embodiments, carrier aggregation (Carrier Aggregation, CA) is a common method of bandwidth trading off rate. There may be multiple cells serving a UE (e.g., a terminal) in carrier aggregation. Among them, there is one and only one primary carrier (Primary Cell Component, PCC) providing radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) signaling connections, non-access stratum (NAS) functions, and/or security functions, etc. The physical uplink control channel (Physical Uplink Control Channel, PUCCH) is present on and only on the PCC. The secondary carrier (Secondary Cell Component, SCS) only provides additional radio resources. The PCC and SCC are commonly referred to as serving cells. Alternatively, the aggregated carriers may support 5, i.e. the aggregated maximum bandwidth is 100MHZ, and the aggregated carriers belong to the same base station. All aggregated carriers use the same cell radio network temporary identity (Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier, C-RNTI), and the base station implements the guarantee that the C-RNTI does not collide in the cell where each carrier is located.

In some embodiments, the UE has no concept of carrier aggregation in the idle state (idle); the UE is now camping on a cell. Optionally, the UE initiates RRC connection establishment, and the required secondary carriers may be added, deleted and/or modified through an RRC reconfiguration (rrcrecon configuration) message. Modifications of the secondary carrier may be handled by means of "delete plus add". Optionally, the UE acquires the system broadcast message of the primary carrier cell on the primary carrier according to the R9 principle, and the system broadcast message of the secondary carrier cell is notified through a dedicated signaling (e.g. rrcrecon configuration).

In some embodiments, for reception of the paging message, the UE listens only to the paging message on the primary carrier.

In some embodiments, to reduce network power consumption, a network power saving issue is initiated. When the network enters a power save mode (NES mode), the cell periodically does not transmit and/or does not receive at certain intervals, i.e., cell (cell) discontinuous transmission (Discontinuous Transmission, DTX) DTX and/or cell discontinuous reception (Discontinuous Reception, DRX).

In some embodiments, the UE obtains configuration information for cell DTX and/or cell DRX configured by the network device. Optionally, the configuration information of Cell DTX and Cell DRX includes a period, offset (offset), and a listening time (on duration) duration.

In some embodiments, for legacy (legacy) UEs or non-NES capable UEs, whether or not camping on a cell in NES mode needs to be prohibited; if park is prohibited how emergency calls are supported. For NES cells, emergency calls have a higher priority than energy saving, so emergency call services need to be supported preferentially. Alternatively, a terminal is required to trigger the network device to leave the NES mode to support more important services, such as supporting emergency call services. Meanwhile, for legacy UEs or non-NES capable UEs, once camping on the NES mode cell, service execution should be supported.

In some embodiments, the NES function may include at least one of: synchronization signal block secondary cell (Synchronization Signal Block less SCell, SSB-less SCell), cell DTX and/or cell DRX, antenna port adaptation (Antenna port adaptation), and physical downlink shared channel (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, PDSCH) transmission power adaptation (transmission power adaptation).

In some embodiments, if one cell prohibits other terminals from camping and accessing, by way of one of:

a barring (barred) message is set, then none of the terminals can camp on the cell.

Setting a cell to reserve information for other purposes (cellReserve ForOtheruse), and prohibiting part of terminals from accessing;

setting an Intra-band inter-band exclusion cell list (Intra/inter freqexcluddcelllist), the terminal may be inhibited from reselecting to cells in the list (list).
