It should be understood that the terms "system" and "network" in this article are often used interchangeably in this article.

In the long term evolution (LTE), the concept of discontinuous reception (DRX) is proposed. Specifically, the main idea of DRX is: the network can configure the terminal to wake up at the time predicted by the network (DRX ON), and the terminal monitors the downlink control channel; at the same time, the network can also configure the terminal to sleep at the time predicted by the network (DRX OFF), that is, The terminal equipment does not need to monitor the downlink control channel. In this way, if the network device 120 has data to be transmitted to the terminal device 110, the network device 120 can schedule the terminal device 110 during the DRX ON time of the terminal device 110. During the DRC OFF time, due to the radio frequency is turned off, the terminal consumption can be reduced. Electricity.

Specifically, a media access control (MAC) entity may be configured with a DRX function by a radio resource control (radio resource control, RRC) to control the terminal's behavior of monitoring downlink transmission.

For example, as shown in Figure 2, the DRX cycle (cycle) configured by the network device for the terminal device is composed of an activation period (On Duration) and a sleep period (Opportunity for DRX). In the RRC connected mode, if the terminal device is configured with the DRX function, the terminal device can monitor and receive the PDCCH during the active period (Active Time); and not receive the PDCCH during the non-active time (Non Active Time) To reduce power consumption.

The duration of the activation period can be controlled by the DRX-onDuration Timer (drx-onDurationTimer) and the DRX-Inactivity Timer (drx-InactivityTimer). Among them, the DRX-persistence timer is also called the DRX-active phase timer. Non-persistent timers are also called inactive timers. Specifically, when the DRX-onDuration Timer (drx-onDurationTimer) fails, if no other timers are running, the active period ends. The terminal device can extend the duration of the activation period by starting or restarting the drx-InactivityTimer.

The terminal device can start the drx-InactivityTimer when receiving the PDCCH, so the time of the DRX activation period will be extended with the start of the drx-onDurationTimer. Of course, when the terminal device receives the PDCCH and has started the drx-InactivityTimer currently, it can also restart the DRX-InactivityTimer.

The terminal device can switch the DRX cycle after the drx-InactivityTimer expires, and switch to the longer cycle DRX cycle, which can save the power consumption of the terminal device.

In the communication system, the system can configure the DRX short cycle and/or the DRX long cycle for the terminal device according to different business scenarios. If the terminal device currently uses the DRX short cycle, it means that the time interval for the terminal device from the current activation period to the next activation period is relatively short. If the terminal device currently uses the DRX long period, it means that the time interval for the terminal device from the current activation period to the next activation period is longer.

For example, when performing voice transmission (voice over internet protocol, VOIP) services based on Internet Protocol (IP), the voice codec usually sends a VOIP packet in 20ms, then a short DRX cycle with a length of 20ms can be configured; and During a long silent period during a voice call, the DRX long period can be configured.

The terminal device can determine the time to start drx-onDurationTimer according to the current DRX cycle, as follows:

If the terminal device is in the DRX short cycle, the time to start drx-onDurationTimer needs to meet: [(SFN×10)+subframe number]modulo(drx-ShortCycle)=(drx-StartOffset)modulo(drx-ShortCycle) (Formula 1) , Where modulo represents the modulo operation, SFN represents the frame number to start drx-onDurationTimer, subframe number represents the subframe number to start drx-onDurationTimer, drx-ShortCycle represents the period of the DRX short cycle, drx-StartOffset represents the start of drx-onDurationTimer The offset of the subframe.

If the terminal device is in the DRX long cycle, the time to start drx-onDurationTimer needs to meet: [(SFN×10)+subframe number]modulo(drx-LongCycle)=drx-StartOffset (Equation 2), where modulo means modulo operation , SFN represents the frame number for starting drx-onDurationTimer, subframe number represents the subframe number for starting drx-onDurationTimer, drx-LongCycle represents the period duration of the DRX long cycle, and drx-StartOffset represents the subframe offset.

In the existing mechanism, the DRX long cycle is the default configuration, and the DRX short cycle is an optional configuration. The network device can configure only one DRX long cycle to the terminal device without configuring the DRX short cycle; or the network device can also configure the DRX long cycle and the DRX short cycle to the terminal device at the same time. The DRX long cycle and the DRX short cycle are relative, as long as the cycle duration of the DRX long cycle is greater than the cycle duration of the DRX short cycle.

If the terminal device is configured with both the DRX long cycle and the DRX short cycle, the terminal device can switch between the DRX long cycle and the DRX short cycle. The specific switching conditions are described below.

In the existing protocol, if the terminal device is currently in the DRX long cycle, the terminal device can switch to DRX after the drx-inactivityTimer expires or after receiving the DRX MAC control element (CE) sent by the network device Short cycle. If the terminal device is currently in the DRX short cycle, the terminal device can switch to the DRX long cycle after the drx-ShortCycleTimer expires or after receiving the long DRX command MAC CE sent by the network device.

The condition for the terminal to start or restart the drx-InactivityTimer is: if the terminal receives a PDCCH indicating downlink or uplink initial transmission, the terminal starts or restarts the drx-InactivityTimer.

The conditions for the terminal to start and stop drx-RetransmissionTimerDL are:

When the terminal receives a PDCCH indicating downlink transmission, or when the terminal receives a MAC protocol data unit (PDU) on the configured downlink authorized resource, the terminal stops the hybrid automatic repeat request (hybrid automatic repeat request) , HARQ) process corresponding to drx-RetransmissionTimerDL. After completing the transmission of the HARQ process feedback for this downlink transmission, the terminal starts the drx-HARQ-round-trip time (RTT)-TimerDL corresponding to the HARQ process.

If the timer drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL corresponding to a certain HARQ of the terminal times out, and the downlink data transmitted using this HARQ process is not successfully decoded, the terminal starts the drx-RetransmissionTimerDL corresponding to this HARQ process.

The conditions for the terminal to start and stop drx-RetransmissionTimerUL are:

When the terminal receives a PDCCH indicating uplink transmission, or when the terminal sends a MAC PDU on the configured uplink authorization resource, the terminal stops the drx-RetransmissionTimerUL corresponding to the HARQ process. The terminal starts the drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerUL corresponding to the HARQ process after completing the first repetition of the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) this time.

If the timer drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerUL corresponding to a certain HARQ of the terminal times out, the terminal starts the drx-RetransmissionTimerUL corresponding to this HARQ process.

In order to save power, the DRX described above is introduced, that is, the terminal device only needs to monitor the PDCCH during the active period, and does not need to monitor the PDCCH during the inactive period. However, the network device may not send the PDCCH to the terminal device during the activation period, that is, the terminal device may not receive the PDCCH during the activation period, but the terminal device still needs to monitor the PDCCH during the activation period, which will waste the power of the terminal device .

In order to solve this problem, a wake-up signal (WUS) is introduced, that is, the terminal device can monitor WUS before the activation period and determine whether it needs to start the subsequent continuous timer according to the content indicated by WUS . If the WUS instructs the terminal device to wake up, the terminal device can start the persistence timer in the subsequent DRX cycle and monitor the PDCCH sent by the network device; if the WUS indicates that the terminal device does not wake up, the terminal device does not start the persistence in the subsequent DRX cycle Timer, so as to achieve the purpose of power saving.

Based on the current NR standard, each media access control (MAC) entity can correspond to a set of DRX configuration, that is, the network device can configure only one WUS parameter configuration for the terminal device, and the WUS parameter configuration can be used to indicate When the WUS is received, the terminal device can receive WUS based on the WUS parameter configuration, and the received WUS can be used to indicate the activation state of the DRX during the activation period.

Regarding WUS, the current agreement has the following conclusions:

1. WUS is designed based on PDCCH;

2. For the UE configured with WUS, the UE monitors the WUS at the WUS monitoring occasion before the start time of each drx-onDurationTimer, and determines whether to start the drx-onDurationTimer at the subsequent start time of the drx-onDurationTimer according to the WUS instruction;

3. WUS is only applicable to long DRX cycle (long DRX cycle);

4. Each MAC entity corresponds to a WUS configuration, and WUS is only configured on a primary cell (PCell) or a primary secondary cell (SpCell).

In addition, some people have proposed an enhancement method in the carrier aggregation (CA) scenario. One MAC entity can configure multiple sets of DRX solutions, that is, the DRX reception modes corresponding to different carriers can be different.

For this enhancement method, there is no clear method for how to configure and use WUS under multiple DRX configurations.

The embodiment of the present application provides a method for determining the start state of the discontinuous reception duration timer, which can provide a method for configuring and using WUS for a terminal device in a scenario of multiple sets of DRX. As shown in Fig. 3, the method includes steps S310-S330.

S310. The terminal device obtains at least two sets of DRX configuration information, where the at least two sets of DRX configuration information corresponds to a MAC entity of the terminal device.

The at least two sets of DRX configuration information may be sent by the network device to the terminal device, or may also be pre-configured in the terminal device. For a device-to-device (D2D) scenario, the at least two sets of DRX configuration information may also be sent to the terminal device by other terminal devices.

Generally speaking, a terminal device corresponds to only one MAC entity, but for a dual-connection scenario, the terminal device may correspond to two MAC entities. The embodiment of the present application mainly focuses on one MAC entity.

The DRX configuration information may include the period length of the DRX and the DRX duration timer. The DRX configuration information may include at least DRX long period configuration information, such as the period length of the DRX long period and the duration of a continuous timer. Of course, in some cases, DRX configuration information may also include DRX short cycle configuration information.

The configuration information of the at least two sets of DRX can be obtained through DRX parameter configuration. For example, the terminal device may receive the DRX parameter configuration sent by the network device, and the DRX parameter configuration may be used to indicate the at least two sets of DRX configuration information.

Each set of DRX in the at least two sets of DRX includes its own independent configuration information, and the configuration information of different DRX may be the same or different.

For example, the two sets of DRX include DRX-1 and DRX-2, the period length of the DRX long period of DRX-1 is X, the duration of the DRX duration timer is a, and the period length of the DRX long period of DRX-2 is Y, The duration of the DRX continuous timer is b, where X and Y can be equal or unequal, and a and b can be equal or unequal. In addition, DRX-1 may include DRX short cycle configuration information, and DRX-2 does not include DRX short cycle configuration information.

S320. The terminal device obtains the WUS parameter configuration, where the WUS parameter configuration is used to indicate the receiving position of the wake-up signal.

S330. The terminal device monitors the wake-up signal according to the WUS parameter configuration, where the wake-up signal is used to indicate the start state of at least two sets of DRX discontinuous reception continuous timers.

The WUS parameter configuration can be used to instruct the terminal device to monitor the time domain position and/or frequency domain position of the wakeup signal. For example, the WUS parameter configuration can be used to instruct the terminal device to monitor the wake-up signal on m symbols before each DRX cycle.

The wake-up signal monitored by the terminal device on m symbols before the nth DRX cycle can be used to indicate the start state of the duration timer of the nth DRX cycle, and both n and m are positive integers.

For example, the wake-up signal monitored by the terminal device before the first DRX cycle can be used to indicate the start state of the continuous timer of the terminal device in the first DRX cycle.

The starting state of the continuous timer can include starting or not starting. If the wake-up signal indicates that the terminal device wakes up, the terminal device starts the persistence timer and monitors the PDCCH during the operation of the persistence timer; if the wake-up signal indicates that the terminal device does not wake up, the terminal device may not start the persistence timer, which can reach The purpose of power saving.

For a MAC entity configured with multiple sets of DRX, the network device can configure one WUS parameter configuration for one MAC entity, or the network device can configure one WUS parameter configuration for a set of DRX, and different DRX can correspond to different WUS parameter configurations. .

One WUS parameter configuration can be used to indicate the receiving position of a wake-up signal, and different WUS parameter configurations can be used to indicate the receiving position of different wake-up signals. If the network device configures multiple WUS parameter configurations for the terminal device, the terminal device can receive multiple wake-up signals according to the multiple WUS parameter configurations.

The following describes different situations.

Taking a MAC entity corresponding to a wake-up signal parameter configuration as an example, the terminal device can monitor the wake-up signal according to the wake-up signal parameter configuration, and the monitored wake-up signal can be used to indicate all DRX discontinuous reception duration timers drx- for multiple sets of DRX- The startup status of onDurationTimer.

In this case, the duration of the DRX cycle of the multiple sets of DRX can be equal, so that the DRX cycle of one set of DRX can better correspond to the DRX cycle of other DRX, and a wake-up signal can more accurately indicate all DRX cycles. The startup status of drx-onDurationTimer.

For example, the wake-up signal may include first information, and the first information may be used to indicate the start state of at least two sets of DRX drx-onDurationTimer. This method is referred to as method 1 in the embodiment of the present application.

In this case, the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of the at least two sets of DRX is the same. If the first information indicates that the terminal device is awakened, the start state of the at least two sets of DRX drx-onDurationTimer is to start the drx-onDurationTimer. If the first information indicates that the terminal device does not wake up, the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of the at least two sets of DRX is not to start the drx-onDurationTimer.

Assuming that at least two sets of DRX include the first DRX and the second DRX, the network device only configures a set of wake-up signal parameter configurations for the terminal device, that is, the first wake-up signal parameter configuration, and the terminal device can receive according to the first wake-up signal parameter configuration. The first wake-up signal. The first wake-up signal can be used to indicate the start status of the drx-onDurationTimer of the first DRX and the second DRX.

The first wake-up signal may include first information. If the first information indicates that the terminal device wakes up, the terminal device may start the drx-onDurationTimer of the first DRX and the second DRX; if the first information indicates that the terminal device does not wake up, then The terminal device does not start the drx-onDurationTimer of the first DRX, nor does it start the drx-onDurationTimer of the second DRX.

Method 1. The network device can configure a WUS parameter configuration for a MAC entity. The terminal device can receive a wake-up signal based on the WUS parameter configuration. The received wake-up signal can be used to indicate the activation status of all DRXs in the active period, and all DRXs are in the active period. The activation state of the activation period is the same.

This method does not need to further enhance the standardized WUS involved in the current protocol, and the WUS overhead signaling is small.

The specific process is as follows:

The terminal device can receive RRC configuration information sent by the network device, and the RRC configuration information can be used to configure DRX related parameters, secondary cell (secondary cell, Scell) related parameters, WUS related parameters, and so on.

Among them, the DRX related parameter configuration can be used to configure at least two sets of DRX configuration information for one MAC entity of the UE. Each set of DRX configuration information in the at least two sets of DRX configuration information includes at least long DRX cycle, drx-onDurationTimer Wait.

Preferably, the long DRX cycles corresponding to the at least two sets of DRX are equal, so that the DRX cycle of one set of DRX can better correspond to the DRX cycle of other DRX, and one WUS can more accurately control the activation period of multiple sets of DRX. The start state of the.

The SCell configuration parameter may include at least one SCell.

The primary cell and each SCell respectively correspond to one set of DRX of the configured multiple sets of DRX masters. For example, PCell 1 may correspond to a default DRX, such as DRX 1. The DRX corresponding to each SCell may be indicated by display signaling, for example, it may be indicated by a configuration parameter in the SCell configuration.

It is understandable that the multiple sets of DRX in the embodiment of the present application can be understood as multiple sets of DRX or multiple sets of DRX groups.

The WUS parameter configuration can be configured on the Pcell, and the WUS monitoring occasion can be located before the long DRX cycle in the time domain.

Based on the network configuration, the UE monitors the WUS at the WUS monitoring timing, and determines the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer at the start time of the subsequent long DRX cycle drx-onDurationTimer for all DRX according to the monitoring and reception of the WUS.

If the terminal device monitors and detects the WUS, and the WUS instructs the UE to wake up, then for all DRX, the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer at the subsequent drx-onDurationTimer start time of the UE is to start drx-onDurationTimer.

If the terminal device monitors and detects WUS, and the WUS indicates that the UE does not wake up, then for all DRX, the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer at the subsequent drx-onDurationTimer start time of the UE is not start drx-onDurationTimer.

In this case, the WUS can use a bit to indicate whether the UE needs to wake up. For example, when the value of this bit is 0, it means that the UE does not wake up, and when the value of this bit is 1, it means that the UE is awake.

The UE not listening to WUS can indicate that the terminal device is awakened or that the terminal device is not awakened, which can be set according to specific conditions.

The solution of the embodiment of the present application will be described below in conjunction with FIG. 4.

The UE receives the RRC configuration information sent by the network device, specifically as follows:

1) DRX configuration: Configure 2 sets of DRX for the UE, namely DRX 1 and DRX 2. The configuration parameters of each set of DRX include at least long DRX cycle, drx-onDurationTimer, and the lengths of drx-onDurationTimer corresponding to DRX 1 and DRX 2 are equal.

2) Serving cell configuration: The PCell of the UE is Cell 0, and 3 SCells are configured for the UE, namely Cell 1, Cell 2, and Cell 3. Among them, Cell 0 and Cell 1 correspond to working frequency range 1 (frequency range 1, FR1), and Cell 2 and Cell 3 correspond to FR 2.

3) Correspondence between serving cell and DRX: configure the cells cell 0 and cell 1 on FR1 to correspond to DRX 1; configure the cells cell 2 and cell 3 on FR2 to correspond to DRX 2.

4) WUS monitoring occasion configuration: WUS monitoring occasion is configured on cell 0.

As shown in Figure 4, the UE has detected WUS in the WUS monitoring occasions before the first DRX cycle, the fourth DRX cycle, and the fifth DRX cycle, and these WUSs indicate that the UE wakes up, so for DRX 1 and DRX 2. The start state of the drx-onDurationTimer at the start time of the drx-onDurationTimer in the first DRX cycle, the fourth DRX cycle and the fifth DRX cycle of the drx-onDurationTimer is to start the drx-onDurationTimer.

The UE detects WUS in the second DRX cycle, WUS monitoring occasion before the third DRX cycle and the sixth DRX cycle, and these WUS indicate that the UE does not wake up. For DRX 1 and DRX 2, the UE is in the first DRX cycle. 2 DRX cycles, the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer at the start time of the drx-onDurationTimer of the 3rd DRX cycle and the 6th DRX cycle is the start of drx-onDurationTimer.

The wake-up signal may include at least two pieces of information, and the at least two pieces of information may respectively be used to indicate the startup status of at least two sets of DRX drx-onDurationTimer, which is referred to as way 2 in this embodiment of the application.

Since there are at least two pieces of information used to indicate the startup status of at least two sets of DRX drx-onDurationTimer, because the startup status of each set of DRX drx-onDurationTimer can be indicated by one piece of information, therefore, each set of DRX drx-onDurationTimer The start state of the can be the same or different.

Assuming that at least two sets of DRX include the third DRX and the fourth DRX, the network device configures a WUS parameter configuration for a MAC entity of the terminal device, that is, the second WUS parameter configuration, and the second WUS parameter configuration can be used to indicate the second wake-up signal The receiving location. The terminal device can monitor the second wake-up signal at the corresponding receiving position according to the second WUS parameter configuration. The second wake-up signal includes second information and third information. The second information may be used to indicate the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of the third DRX, and the third information may be used to indicate the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of the fourth DRX.

The second wake-up signal may use two bits to indicate the second information and the third information respectively. Assume that bit 0 is used to indicate the second information, and bit 1 is used to indicate the third information.

For example, when the value of the first two bits of the second wake-up signal received by the terminal device is 01, it may indicate that the UE does not wake up for the third DRX; and the UE wakes up for the fourth DRX. Therefore, the terminal device may not start the drx-onDurationTimer of the third DRX but start the drx-onDurationTimer of the fourth DRX in the subsequent DRX cycle. When the value of the first two bits of the second wake-up signal received by the terminal device is 10, it may indicate that the UE wakes up for the third DRX; and the UE does not wake up for the fourth DRX. Therefore, the terminal device can start the drx-onDurationTimer of the third DRX but not the drx-onDurationTimer of the fourth DRX in the subsequent DRX cycle. When the value of the first two bits of the second wake-up signal received by the terminal device is 00, it may indicate that the UE does not wake up for the third DRX; and the UE does not wake up for the fourth DRX. Therefore, the terminal device may not start the drx-onDurationTimer of the third DRX and not start the drx-onDurationTimer of the fourth DRX in the subsequent DRX cycle. When the value of the first two bits of the second wake-up signal received by the terminal device is 11, it may indicate that the UE wakes up for the third DRX; and the UE wakes up for the fourth DRX. Therefore, the terminal device can start both the drx-onDurationTimer of the third DRX and the drx-onDurationTimer of the fourth DRX in the subsequent DRX cycle.

Mode 2. The network device can configure a WUS parameter configuration for a MAC entity. The terminal device can receive a wake-up signal based on the WUS parameter configuration. The received wake-up signal can be used to indicate the activation status of all DRX in the activation period, and all DRX is in the active period. The activation state of the activation period can be the same or different.

This method needs to be further enhanced based on the standardized WUS involved in the current protocol, the implementation process is more flexible, and the power saving gain is greater.

The specific process is as follows:

The terminal device can receive the RRC configuration information sent by the network device, and the RRC configuration information can be used to configure DRX related parameters, Scell related parameters, WUS related parameters, and so on.

Preferably, the long DRX cycles corresponding to the at least two sets of DRX are equal, so that the DRX cycle of one set of DRX can better correspond to the DRX cycle of other DRX, and one WUS can more accurately control multiple sets of DRX cycles. The activation state of the activation period.

The SCell configuration parameter may include at least one SCell.

Based on the network configuration, the UE monitors the WUS at the WUS monitoring timing. There may be a special bit field in the payload of the WUS to indicate whether the at least two sets of DRX should start the drx-onDurationTimer at the start time of the subsequent long DRX cycle drx-onDurationTimer.

For example, the network supports up to N (N>1) sets of DRX, then N bits are reserved in the WUS payload for wake-up instructions, and each bit field corresponds to 1 set of DRX instructions, that is, to achieve each set of DRX instructions through Bitmap DRX wake-up indication. For each set of DRX, the UE determines the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer for the DRX at the start time of the subsequent long DRX cycle drx-onDurationTimer according to the wake-up indication for the DRX group in the detected WUS payload.

If the UE monitors and detects WUS, and the WUS indicates that the UE wants to wake up for this DRX group, for this DRX group, the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of the UE at the start time of the subsequent drx-onDurationTimer of the DRX cycle is to start drx-onDurationTimer.

If the UE monitors and detects WUS, and the WUS indicates that the UE does not wake up for the DRX, then for the DRX, the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer at the start time of the subsequent drx-onDurationTimer of the DRX cycle is not to start the drx-onDurationTimer.

The following describes the solution of the embodiment of the present application with reference to FIG. 5.

2) Serving cell configuration: The PCell of the UE is Cell 0, and 3 SCells are configured for the UE, namely Cell 1, Cell 2, and Cell 3. Among them, Cell 0 and Cell 1 correspond to FR1, and Cell 2 and Cell 3 correspond to FR 2.

As shown in Figure 4, the UE detects WUS in the WUS monitoring occasion before the first DRX cycle, and the WUS indicates that the UE wakes up for both DRX 1 and DRX 2. For DRX 1 and DRX 2, the UE is in the first The start state of drx-onDurationTimer of DRXcycle is to start drx-onDurationTimer.

The UE detects WUS in the WUS monitoring occasion before the second DRX cycle, and the WUS instructs the UE not to wake up for DRX 1, and wakes up for DRX 2, then the UE is at the start time of the drx-onDurationTimer of the second DRX cycle of DRX 1. , The starting state of drx-onDurationTimer is not starting drx-onDurationTimer, the UE starts drx-onDurationTimer at the second DRX cycle of DRX 2, and the starting state of drx-onDurationTimer is starting drx-onDurationTimer.

The UE can continue to detect WUS at the WUS monitoring occasion before each subsequent DRX cycle, and determine the DRX group at the subsequent long DRX cycle's drx-onDurationTimer start time drx-onDurationTimer according to the wake-up indication for each DRX group in the WUS payload The start state of the. As shown in Figure 5, it will not be repeated here.

Taking one set of DRX corresponding to one wake-up signal parameter configuration as an example, for a case where one MAC entity corresponds to at least two sets of DRX, the network device can configure at least two wake-up signal parameter configurations for the terminal device, and the at least two wake-up signal parameter configurations can be the same as At least two sets of DRX have a one-to-one correspondence, that is, one wake-up signal parameter configuration corresponds to one set of DRX. In the embodiment of the present application, this mode is referred to as mode 3.

Since the start state of a set of DRX drx-onDurationTimer is indicated by an independent wake-up signal, the length of the DRX cycle corresponding to different DRX can be the same or different, and the wake-up state of different DRX can also be the same or It can be different.

Assuming that at least two wake-up signal parameter configurations include a third wake-up signal parameter configuration and a fourth wake-up signal parameter configuration, at least two sets of DRX may include a fifth DRX and a sixth DRX, where the fifth DRX corresponds to the third wake-up signal parameter configuration , The sixth DRX corresponds to the fourth wake-up signal parameter configuration.

The terminal device can receive the third wake-up signal according to the third wake-up signal parameter configuration, and the third wake-up signal can be used to indicate the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of the fifth DRX; the terminal device can also receive the fourth wake-up according to the fourth wake-up signal parameter configuration Signal, the fourth wake-up signal can be used to indicate the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of the sixth DRX.

If the third wake-up signal indicates that the terminal device wakes up, the terminal device may start the drx-onDurationTimer of the fifth DRX; if the third wake-up signal indicates that the terminal device does not wake up, the terminal device may not start the drx-onDurationTimer of the fifth DRX. If the fourth wake-up signal indicates that the terminal device wakes up, the terminal device may start the drx-onDurationTimer of the sixth DRX; if the fourth wake-up signal indicates that the terminal device does not wake up, the terminal device may not start the drx-onDurationTimer of the sixth DRX.

Manner 3: The network device can configure a WUS parameter configuration for a set of DRX, and the WUS corresponding to each set of DRX can be used to indicate the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of the DRX.

This method does not need to be further enhanced based on the standardized WUS design in the current protocol, and the implementation process is more flexible, the power saving gain is large, and more power can be saved.

The specific process is as follows:

Preferably, the long DRX cycles corresponding to the at least two sets of DRX are equal.

The SCell configuration parameter may include at least one SCell.

WUS monitoring occasion configuration: For each set of DRX, a corresponding WUS monitoring occasion is configured.

For the frequency domain configuration of WUS monitoring occasion, the specific manner may be: (1) WUS monitoring occasion is configured on the corresponding SCell, and the WUS on the SCell corresponds to the DRX corresponding to the SCell. (2) WUS is configured on SpCell, and the search space of WUS has a corresponding relationship with DRX.

Based on the network configuration, the UE monitors the WUS at the WUS monitoring occasion corresponding to the DRX for each set of DRX, and according to the monitoring and reception of the WUS, decides to start the drx-onDurationTimer for the DRX in the subsequent long DRX cycle The starting state of drx-onDurationTimer at the moment.

If the UE monitors and detects WUS in the WUS monitoring occasion corresponding to the DRX, and the WUS instructs the UE to wake up, for the DRX, at the subsequent start time of the drx-onDurationTimer, the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer is to start drx-onDurationTimer.

If the UE monitors and detects WUS in the WUS monitoring occasion corresponding to the DRX, and the WUS indicates that the UE does not wake up, then for the DRX, at the subsequent start time of the drx-onDurationTimer, the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer is drx-onDurationTimer. onDurationTimer.

The following describes the solution of the embodiment of the present application with reference to FIG. 6.

4) WUS monitoring occasion configuration: Configure WUS monitoring occasion for DRX 1 and DRX 2 respectively.

For DRX 1:

The UE detects WUS in the WUS monitoring occasion before the first DRX cycle, the fourth DRX cycle, and the fifth DRX cycle, and the WUS instructs the UE to wake up, then the UE is in the first DRX cycle of DRX 1, and the fourth DRX cycle. When the drx-onDurationTimer of the first DRX cycle and the fifth DRX cycle is started, the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer is to start drx-onDurationTimer.

The UE detects WUS in the WUS monitoring occasion before the second DRX cycle, the third DRX cycle, and the sixth DRX cycle, and the WUS indicates that the UE does not wake up, then the UE is in the second DRX cycle of DRX group 1, When the drx-onDurationTimer of the third DRX cycle and the sixth DRX cycle are started, the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer is not to start the drx-onDurationTimer.

For DRX 2:

The UE detects WUS in the WUS monitoring occasion before the first DRX cycle, the second DRX cycle, the fourth DRX cycle, and the sixth DRX cycle, and the WUS indicates that the UE wakes up, and the UE is in the first DRX cycle. The start state of drx-onDurationTimer at the start time of the drx-onDurationTimer of the first DRX cycle, the second DRX cycle, the fourth DRX cycle, and the sixth DRX cycle is to start drx-onDurationTimer.

The UE detects WUS in the WUS monitoring occasion before the third DRX cycle and the fifth DRX cycle, and the WUS indicates that the UE does not wake up, then the UE is in the drx of the third DRX cycle of DRX 2 and the drx of the fifth DRX cycle. -The starting state of drx-onDurationTimer at the start of onDurationTimer is not starting drx-onDurationTimer.

The embodiment of the present application also provides another method for determining the start state of the discontinuous reception duration timer, which can provide a method for configuring and using WUS for terminal equipment in a scenario of multiple sets of DRX. As shown in Fig. 7, the method includes steps S710 to S730. The corresponding technical features in this method can be referred to the above description, in order to avoid redundancy, the following will not be repeated. In the embodiment of the present application, this method may be referred to as mode 4.

S710. The terminal device acquires at least two sets of DRX configuration information, where the at least two sets of DRX configuration information corresponds to one MAC entity of the terminal device, and the at least two sets of DRX include the first DRX.

S720. The terminal device acquires a first wake-up signal parameter configuration, where the first wake-up signal parameter configuration is used to indicate the receiving position of the first wake-up signal, and the first wake-up signal is used to indicate that the first DRX discontinuous reception continues The start state of the timer.

S730. The terminal device determines the start state of the discontinuous reception duration timer of the other DRX in the next DRX cycle according to the state of the first DRX in the N DRX cycles and/or the state of the other DRX in the M DRX cycles, so The next DRX cycle is a DRX cycle adjacent to the N DRX cycles and the M DRX cycles, the other DRX is a DRX other than the first DRX in the at least two sets of DRX, M , N is a positive integer.

In this method, the network device can configure one WUS parameter configuration for one MAC entity of the terminal device, that is, for multiple sets of DRX, the network device only configures one WUS parameter configuration. The wake-up signal received according to the WUS parameter configuration can be used to indicate the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of one of the DRX sets (such as the first DRX), and the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of the remaining DRX can be based on the first DRX. The active state of one DRX and other DRX is determined.

This method of determining the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer does not require further enhancement of the WUS design standardized by the current protocol, and the implementation is more flexible, and the WUS signaling overhead is small.

The M cycles are M DRX cycles before the next DRX cycle, and the N cycles are N DRX cycles before the next DRX cycle. If the terminal device needs to determine the start state of the 6th DRX cycle, the terminal device can be based on the state of the first DRX M DRX cycles before the 6th DRX cycle and/or other DRX cycles before the 6th DRX cycle. The status of N DRX cycles is determined.

The network device may determine the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of the other DRX in the next DRX cycle according to the state of the first DRX in the N DRX cycles. For example, if the terminal device receives the PDCCH sent by the network device in N cycles of the first DRX, it means that the amount of data that the terminal device currently needs to transmit is relatively large, and the terminal device can turn on the drx-onDurationTimer of other DRX. For another example, if the terminal device does not receive the PDCCH sent by the network device within N cycles of the first DRX, it means that the amount of data that the terminal device currently needs to transmit is relatively small, and the terminal device may not turn on the drx-onDurationTimer of other DRX. .

As an example, the drx-onDurationTimer of other DRX may be determined according to whether the first DRX starts the drx-onDurationTimer in N DRX cycles. Since whether the first DRX starts drx-onDurationTimer is indicated by the network device, if the network device instructs the first DRX to start drx-onDurationTimer, it means that the network device is more likely to send PDCCH to the terminal device. If the network device indicates the first DRX If drx-onDurationTimer is not started, it means that the network device does not currently need to send PDCCH to the terminal device. Therefore, the state of the first DRX can reflect the current data volume of the terminal device, and the state of the first DRX can determine the start of the drx-onDurationTimer of other DRXs. The state method is more accurate.

If the terminal device starts the persistence timer in at least P of the N DRX cycles of the first DRX, the terminal device determines the discontinuous reception timing of the other DRX in the next DRX cycle The start state of the receiver is awake, N≥P, otherwise the terminal device determines that the start state of the discontinuous reception timer of other DRX in the next DRX cycle is not started.

As a preferred implementation manner, P=N, N DRX cycles are consecutive N DRX cycles, that is, if the terminal device starts drx-onDurationTimer in the first DRX consecutive N DRX cycles, the terminal device can determine The start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of the other DRX is to start the drx-onDurationTimer, otherwise the terminal device can determine that the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of the other DRX in the next DRX cycle is not to start the drx-onDurationTimer.

As another example, the terminal device may also receive the PDCCH indicating uplink or downlink scheduling in at least P DRX cycles of the N DRX cycles of the first DRX, and the terminal device may determine the drx- of the other DRX in the next DRX cycle. The activation state of onDurationTimer is activated, otherwise the terminal device can determine that the activation status of the drx-onDurationTimer of the next DRX cycle is not to activate the drx-onDurationTimer.

As another example, the terminal device may also determine the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of the other DRX in the next DRX cycle according to the state of the other DRX in the M DRX cycles. For example, if the start state of other DRX cycles is awake in M DRX cycles, and the terminal device does not receive a PDCCH indicating uplink or downlink scheduling in at least Q DRX cycles of the M DRX cycles, the terminal device determines other DRX cycles The start state of the drx-onDurationTimer in the next DRX cycle is not to start the drx-onDurationTimer; otherwise, the terminal device determines that the drx-onDurationTimer start state of other DRX cycles in the next DRX cycle is to start the drx-onDurationTimer.

As a preferred implementation manner, Q=M, M DRX cycles are consecutive M DRX cycles, that is, if other DRX is awakened in the starting state of the consecutive M DRX cycles, and the terminal device has no When receiving a PDCCH indicating uplink or downlink scheduling, the terminal device determines that the drx-onDurationTimer startup state of other DRX in the next DRX cycle is not to start drx-onDurationTimer, otherwise, the terminal device determines the drx-onDurationTimer startup state of other DRX in the next DRX cycle To start drx-onDurationTimer.

The value of M in different DRX configurations is the same or different; and/or the value of N in different DRX configurations is the same or different.

For example, in addition to the first DRX, the at least two sets of DRX also include a second DRX and a third DRX. For the second DRX, N may be 3, M may be 5, and for the third DRX, N may be 4, and M Can be 8.

The second DRX may determine the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of the second DRX in the next DRX cycle according to the active state of the first DRX in 3 consecutive DRX cycles and/or the active state of other DRX in 5 consecutive DRX cycles. The third DRX may determine the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of the second DRX in the next DRX cycle according to the active state of the first DRX in 4 consecutive DRX cycles and/or the active state of other DRX in 8 consecutive DRX cycles.

The terminal device may only determine the drx-onDurationTimer start state of other DRX in the next DRX cycle according to the state of the first DRX in N DRX cycles; or the terminal device may also determine other DRX only according to the state of other DRX in M DRX cycles In the drx-onDurationTimer start state of the next DRX cycle, or the terminal device can simultaneously determine the drx of other DRX in the next DRX cycle based on the state of the first DRX in N DRX cycles and the state of other DRX in M consecutive DRX cycles -onDurationTimer start state, this embodiment of the application does not specifically limit this.

The initial startup state of other DRX can be activated or not. The initial startup state of other DRX may be configured by the network device to the terminal device through RRC signaling, or may be predefined in the terminal device.

Manner 4: For a situation where one MAC entity corresponds to at least two sets of DRX, one set of DRX in the at least two sets of DRX can be a primary DRX, and all DRXs except primary DRX can be called secondary DRX. The network device can configure a WUS parameter configuration for a MAC entity, and the WUS can be used to indicate the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of the primary DRX. For each secondary DRX, the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of the UE in the DRX can be determined according to the UE's activity in the primary DRX and the UE's activity in the secondary DRX.

This method does not need to be further enhanced based on the standardized WUS design in the current protocol, and the implementation process is more flexible, and the WUS signaling overhead is small.

The specific process is as follows:

Among them, the DRX related parameter configuration can be used to configure at least two sets of DRX configuration information for one MAC entity of the UE. Each set of DRX configuration information in the at least two sets of DRX configuration information includes at least long DRX cycle, drx-onDurationTimer Wait. One of the configured at least two sets of DRX is primary DRX, and the rest are secondary DRX.

The SCell configuration parameter may include at least one SCell.

The primary cell and each SCell respectively correspond to one set of DRX of the configured multiple sets of DRX masters. For example, PCell can correspond to a Primary DRX; the DRX corresponding to each SCell can be indicated by display signaling, for example, it can be indicated by a configuration parameter in the SCell configuration.

WUS monitoring occasion configuration: WUS monitoring occasion is configured on the PCell, and WUS monitoring occasion is located before the long DRX cycle in the time domain.

For primary DRX, UE monitors WUS in WUS monitoring occasion based on the network configuration, and based on the monitoring and reception of WUS, determines the starting state of drx-onDurationTimer at the start of the subsequent long DRX cycle drx-onDurationTimer for primary DRX:

If the UE monitors and detects WUS, and the WUS instructs the UE to wake up, for primary DRX, the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer at the subsequent start time of drx-onDurationTimer is to start drx-onDurationTimer.

If the UE monitors and detects WUS, and the WUS indicates that the UE does not wake up, for primary DRX, the starting state of the drx-onDurationTimer at the subsequent start time of the drx-onDurationTimer is not to start the drx-onDurationTimer.

For each secondary DRX, a wake-up state is set, and the wake-up state is determined in the following manner:

Initial wake-up state: The initial wake-up state of secondary DRX can be configured to wake up or not to wake up through RRC. Or use a predefined way to determine.

The trigger conditions for the wake-up state to change from no wake-up to wake-up:

If the UE starts drx-onDurationTimer in all DRX cycles of the primary DRX consecutive M DRX cycles or the continuous active timer, and the UE targets the secondary DRX within the time of the consecutive M DRX cycles or the continuous active timer. If the wake-up state is not awakened, the UE's wake-up state for the secondary DRX is set to wake-up.

If the UE receives the PDCCH indicating uplink or downlink scheduling in all DRX cycles within the time of primary DRX consecutive M DRX cycles or the continuous active timer, and the UE responds to the PDCCH within the time of the consecutive M consecutive DRX cycles or the continuous active timer The wake-up state of the secondary DRX is not awakened, and then the wake-up state of the UE for the secondary DRX is set to wake-up.

The M or activetime in the above method may be configured by the network RRC, and the M or activetimer may be the same value shared by all secondary DRX groups, or may be configured with different values for different secondary DRX groups.

The trigger condition for the wake-up state to change from wake-up to non-wake-up: If the UE starts drx-onDurationtimer in all DRX cycles within the time of the secondary DRX for N consecutive DRX cycles or continuous inactivetimer, and the UE is in the consecutive N DRX cycles If the PDCCH indicating uplink or downlink scheduling is not received within the period of cycle or continuous inactivetimer, the wake-up state of the UE for the secondary DRX is set to not wake-up.

The foregoing N or inactivetimer is configured by the network RRC, and N or inactivetimer may have the same value common to all secondary DRX, or may be configured with different values for different secondary DRX.

For each secondary DRX, the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of the UE at the start time of the drx-onDurationTimer of each long DRX cycle is determined according to the awake state of the UE in the secondary DRX.

If the UE is in the wake-up state of the secondary DRX, the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of the UE at the start time of the drx-onDurationTimer of the current long DRX cycle is to start the drx-onDurationTimer.

If the UE does not wake up in the wake-up state of the secondary DRX, the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of the UE at the start time of the drx-onDurationTimer of the current long DRX cycle is not start the drx-onDurationTimer.

The solution of the embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to FIG. 8.

1) DRX configuration: Configure 2 sets of DRX for the UE, namely DRX 1 and DRX 2. The configuration parameters of each set of DRX include at least long DRX cycle and drx-onDurationTimer, where DRX 1 is primary DRX, and DRX 2 is secondary DRX.

5) For DRX 2, configure activetimer and inactivetimer.

For DRX 1, the UE monitors the WUS at the WUS monitoring occasion before each DRX cycle, and determines the start state of the drx-onDurationTimer of the UE at the start time of the subsequent DRX cycle drx-onDurationTimer according to the WUS indication.

For DRX 2:

The initial wake-up state of the UE is awake, and the UE starts drx-onDurationTimer in both the first DRX cycle and the second DRX cycle.

Since the UE did not receive the PDCCH on cell 2 and cell 3 in the first two DRX cycles, the inactivetimer timeout caused the UE to switch from the wake-up state of DRX 2 to non-wake-up.

The UE did not start the drx-onDurationTimer in the subsequent 3rd DRX cycle, 4th DRX cycle and 5th DRX cycle.

Since for DRX 1, the UE starts drx-onDurationTimer in the 3rd DRX cycle, 4th DRX cycle and 5th DRX cycle, and the activetimer timeout causes the UE to switch from the wake-up state of DRX 2 to wake-up.

The UE starts the drx-onDurationTimer in the subsequent sixth DRX cycle.

The foregoing describes in detail the method for determining the discontinuous reception duration timer according to the embodiment of the present application. The device according to the embodiment of the present application will be described below in conjunction with FIG. 9 to FIG. 15.
