Here, the difference between the paging message of the first type and the paging message of the second type may include that the paging message of the first type and the paging message of the second type contain different amounts of data and carry the paging message of the first type. The signaling contained in the paging message of the second type is different, the services carried by the paging message of the first type and the paging message of the second type are different, and/or the paging message of the first type and the paging of the second type are different. The priorities of the message-bearing services are different, and so on.

The main function of the first type of paging message is to notify the UE in the idle state and/or the inactive state that there is a connection request, and to notify the UE in the idle state, the inactive state and/or the connected state that the system message has changed. The first type of paging message is transmitted using PDSCH resources, and the UE can obtain scheduling information of the paging message by monitoring the PDCCH. When the UE monitors that the PDCCH has scheduling information of paging scheduling, it receives the first type of paging message on the PDSCH resource according to the scheduling information.

The second type of paging message can be a short message (Short Message) carried in the paging DCI, the short message can occupy 8 bits, and the short message can be used to indicate the change of the communication system information and the stop of paging message monitoring, etc.

For different types of paging messages, the UE may adopt different synchronization methods. For example, for a paging message transmitted using PDSCH resources, multiple SSBs may be used to synchronize and receive the paging message. For short messages, 1 SSB can be used to synchronize and receive paging messages.

In a possible implementation, the method further includes:

If the TRS/CSI-RS is detected at the TRS/CSI-RS occasion, the UE can perform downlink synchronization through the TRS/CSI-RS. The UE may receive the first type of paging message based on downlink synchronization done through TRS/CSI-RS.

Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 3 , the first type of paging message may be a paging message transmitted by using PDSCH; if the UE detects TRS/CSI-RS at the TRS/CSI-RS occasion, the UE directly uses the TRS/CRS Synchronization, continue to monitor the subsequent PO and PDSCH based on the completed synchronization.

In this way, the UE no longer needs to use SSB for downlink synchronization. Since it takes a long time to perform downlink synchronization using SSB, using TRS/CSI-RS for downlink synchronization and receiving the first type of paging message can reduce the need for the UE to wake up. Power consumption increases due to longer time.

In another possible implementation, the method further includes:

If the TRS/CSI-RS is not detected at the TRS/CSI-RS occasion, the UE can perform downlink synchronization through the SSB. The UE may receive the first type of paging message based on downlink synchronization done through the SSB.

Exemplarily, as described in FIG. 4 , the second type of paging message may be a short message; if the UE does not detect TRS/CSI-RS at the TRS/CSI-RS occasion, the UE may use SSB for synchronization, and based on the Downlink synchronization completed by SSB, monitoring PO. Since the monitoring PO can be synchronized by using one SSB, the increase in power consumption caused by the long wake-up time caused by the UE using multiple SSBs for synchronization can be reduced.

In one embodiment, the method further includes:

receiving first indication information;

Before the base station implicitly expresses the type of the paging message through the actual transmission state of the TRS/CRS, the base station may notify the availability of the TRS/CRS in advance. The base station may send the first indication information to indicate that the available state of the TRS/CRS is available.

The available state of TRS/CRS is that the network informs the terminal that the configuration of TRS/CRS is reasonable, and the type of paging message is implicitly indicated based on the association information of TRS/CRS at the pre-configured TRS/CRS location .

receiving a broadcast message carrying the first indication information;

receiving an RRC message carrying the first indication information;

DCI carrying the first indication information is received.

The base station can notify the TRS/CRS that the TRS/CRS is available through broadcast messages, RRC messages, DCI and so on. The first indication information may adopt two values of 1 bit to respectively indicate that the available state of the TRS/CRS is available or unavailable. The first indication information may occupy a broadcast message, an RRC message, and/or reserved bits of DCI, and the like.

In one embodiment, the method further includes:

receiving second indication information;

Before the TRS/CRS opportunity, the base station may indicate to the UE in advance by sending the second indication information that there will be paging coming soon. The base station may not inform the specific type of paging information.

After the UE receives the second indication information, it may determine that the paging information is coming.

receiving a PSS or the PSS that is not enabled, wherein the time domain position of the PSS is before the time domain position of the TRS/CSI-RS opportunity;

A PEI or the PEI not enabled is received, wherein the time domain position of the PEI precedes the time domain position of the TRS/CSI-RS opportunity.

Here, the base station may use PSS to indicate that the base station has downlink paging information, and the PSS may use two values to respectively indicate that the base station has downlink paging information and the base station does not have downlink paging information. The UE may determine whether it has downlink paging information based on the indication of the PSS.

The base station may use PEI to indicate that the base station has downlink paging information, and the PEI may use two values to indicate that the base station has downlink paging information and the base station does not have downlink paging information. The UE may determine whether it has downlink paging information based on the indication of the PEI.

Here, the base station may use the disabled PSS and/or the disabled PEI to indicate that the base station has downlink paging information. When the UE receives the disabled PSS and/or the disabled PEI, it may be determined that the base station has downlink paging information.

When the UE receives the first indication information and the second indication information sent by the base station, it may be determined that the UE determines the type of the paging message based on the detected association information of TRS/CSI-RS. The UE may perform blind detection at the TRS/CSI-RS occasion, and determine whether the base station transmits the TRS/CSI-RS at the TRS/CSI-RS occasion.

Exemplarily, based on the availability status of the TRS/CRS being available and the arrival of the paging message, the UE performs blind detection at the TRS/CRS location, and determines the type of the paging message according to the result of the blind detection.

When the base station sends the first indication information and the second indication information, it may implicitly indicate that the TRS/CSI-RS occasion may not be sent TRS/CSI-RS. Therefore, the UE needs to perform blind detection at the TRS/CSI-RS timing.

The base station may send a blind detection instruction to the UE, instructing the UE to perform blind detection at the TRS/CSI-RS occasion. The base station may notify the UE to perform blind detection in advance before the TRS/CSI-RS opportunity. After receiving the blind detection instruction, the UE performs blind detection at the TRS/CSI-RS occasion. Whether to perform blind detection can be specified by the communication protocol. For example, when the base station sends the first indication information and the second indication information, the communication protocol may specify that the UE needs to perform blind detection. When the base station uses the type of TRS/CSI-RS to indicate the type of the paging message, the communication protocol may stipulate that the UE does not need to perform blind detection.

Here, the base station may send different types of TRS/CSI-RS at TRS/CSI-RS occasions for different types of paging information. Different types of paging information may correspond to different types of TRS/CSI-RS, respectively.

The type of TRS/CSI-RS may be based on transmission resource division, or may be based on signal sequence division of TRS/CSI-RS, or the like.

The base station may indicate to the UE the types of paging messages that the base station will send by sending different types of TRS/CSI-RS at TRS/CSI-RS occasions.

The UE can determine the type of the paging message to be sent by the base station according to the type of the TRS/CSI-RS detected at the TRS/CSI-RS occasion.

and / or

Different types of TRS/CSI-RS have different frequency domain resources;

and / or

The sequences of the TRS/CSI-RS of different types are different;

and / or

Different types of TRS/CSI-RS have different time domain offsets.

Different types of the TRS/CSI-RS may be sent using different time domain resources, and the UE may determine the type of TRS/CSI-RS based on the time domain resources of the received TRS/CSI-RS.

Different types of the TRS/CSI-RS may be transmitted using different frequency domain resources, and the UE may determine the type of TRS/CSI-RS based on the frequency domain resources of the received TRS/CSI-RS.

Different types of the TRS/CSI-RS may use different signal sequences or scrambling sequences, and the UE may determine different types of TRS/CSI-RS based on the sequence of the TRS/CSI-RS.

Different types of the TRS/CSI-RS may be offset based on the same time domain reference, and the UE may determine the type of TRS/CSI-RS based on the time domain offset of the TRS/CSI-RS.

In a possible implementation manner, the determining the type of the paging message based on the detected type of the TRS/CSI-RS includes:

In response to detecting the first type of TRS/CSI-RS at the TRS/CSI-RS occasion, it is determined that the paging message is a first type of paging message.

In another possible implementation manner, the determining the type of the paging message based on the detected type of the TRS/CSI-RS includes:

The correspondence between TRS/CSI-RS types and paging message types may be preset. After receiving the TRS/CSI-RS, the UE may determine the type of the paging message according to the corresponding relationship.

In one embodiment, the method further includes:

receiving third indication information;

determining, according to the third indication information, that the base station sends the TRS/CSI-RS at the TRS/CSI-RS occasion;

Before the base station indicates the type of the paging message through the type of TRS/CRS, the base station may use the third indication information in advance to notify the UE that the base station will send the TRS/CRS at the time of TRS/CSI-RS, and use the type of TRS/CRS to indicate the paging message. type. The third indication information may indicate that the TRS/CRS is available, that is, it indicates that the TRS/CRS must be available at the TRS/CRS occasion. Instead of blind testing, the type of TRS/CRS can be directly detected.

In one embodiment, since the TRS/CRS may exist when the TRS/CRS is determined, the third indication information may implicitly indicate that the UE does not need to blindly detect the TRS/CRS.

The network can send multiple sets of TRS/CRS at the TRS/CRS occasion, and the terminal determines the specific type of the paging message based on the TRS/CRS detection result.

Whether to perform blind detection can be specified by the communication protocol. For example, when the base station sends the first indication information and the second indication information, the communication protocol may specify that the UE needs to perform blind detection. When the base station uses the third indication information to indicate that the type of the paging message is indicated by the type of TRS/CSI-RS, the communication protocol may stipulate that the UE does not need to perform blind detection to perform direct detection.

receiving a broadcast message carrying the third indication information;

receiving an RRC message carrying the third indication information;

receiving the DCI carrying the third indication information.

The base station may carry the third indication information in messages such as broadcast messages, RRC messages, and DCIs. The third indication information may use two values of 1 bit to respectively indicate that the available status of the TRS/CRS is available or unavailable. When the third indication information indicates that the available state of the TRS/CRS is available, the UE may occupy the broadcast message, the RRC message, and/or the reserved bits of the DCI according to the detection. In this way, the information carrying capacity of broadcast messages, RRC messages and/or DCI can be improved, and the information transmission efficiency can be improved.

The TRS/CSI-RS occasion is not earlier than the paging occasion of the paging message in the time domain. The UE may receive the paging message after the TRS/CSI-RS timing is determined. In this way, the UE may determine the type of the paging message before receiving the paging message, and then determine the manner of receiving the paging message and synchronization.

The TRS/CRS timing pre-configured by the network is an offset before the PO; or the TRS/CRS timing may overlap with the PO; in this way, the UE can complete downlink synchronization for receiving the paging message before the paging message.

After the UE determines the type of the paging message at the TRS/CRS occasion, it may perform downlink synchronization based on the TRS/CRS, or perform synchronization based on the SSB.

As shown in FIG. 5 , this exemplary embodiment provides a method for determining a paging message type, and the method for determining a paging message type can be applied to a base station of a cellular mobile communication system, including:

Step 501: Indicate the type of paging message through the TRS/CSI-RS at the TRS/CSI-RS occasion.

Here, the types of the paging messages can be distinguished according to the signaling carrying the paging messages. For example, the paging messages can include short messages carried in the paging DCI and paging messages carried in the PDSCH signaling. The types of paging messages can be distinguished according to the service types of the content carried by the paging messages. The type of the paging message can also be distinguished according to the priority level of the content carried by the paging message, and so on.
