Each embodiment of detailed description of the present invention referring to the drawings.
Fig. 4 shows the flow chart of terminal awakening method 400 according to embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in figure 4, after method 400 starts, in step S401, paging to be monitored subframe previous subframe most
Time slot, which is arranged, in the latter time slot interrupts.Then, it in step S402, is waken up in breaking in this timeslot to do standard to monitor paging
It is standby.
In embodiments of the present invention, method 400 can execute in terminal (such as UE).
According to the embodiment of the present invention, such as in TD-SCDMA system, UE is previous the subframe for having reception task
Time slot, which is arranged, in the time slot 6 of subframe interrupts.When system has task to receive, the setting of wake-up point in advance is being received into the previous son of task
During the time slot 6 of frame interrupts.
In embodiments of the present invention, the paging on the paging to be monitored e.g. PICH or PCH.
Fig. 5 shows UE when the time slot 6 for carrying out the previous subframe that PICH or PCH is received interrupts and wakes up and monitor paging
Sequence.
It is interrupted as shown in figure 5, a time slot 6 is arranged in 6 position of time slot for carrying out the previous subframe that PICH or PCH is received,
Configuration be will wake up in preceding primary sleep in receiving the time slot 6 of previous subframe of subframe next time and interrupting, it in this way can be
It wakes up and carries out the preparation that next subframe receives in 6 interruption position of time slot.This time point is than at previous subframe beginning
Frame interruption wake up and postponed 6 normal time slots and 3 special time slots, the time of a nearly subframe (such as 5ms).
In embodiments of the present invention, UE is when 6 position of time slot of the previous subframe of progress PICH receptions is arranged one
Gap 6 is interrupted, and then 6 interruption position of time slot is waken up, and does the preparation that PICH receptions are carried out in next frame.If UE exists
Effective paging is listened on PICH, it is determined that paging is also monitored on PCH.If current time and progress PCH receive it
Between time also meet sleep condition if, then the time slot 6 of the previous subframe of the back to back subframe that carry out follow-up PCH receptions
A time slot 6 is also provided with to interrupt.In this way, UE wakes up in 6 interruption position of time slot and opens RF, also the same section of recovery interruption in advance
The time of a nearly subframe is saved.And so on, it is equally handled in each DRX cycle, specific sequential is as shown in Figure 5.
Embodiments of the present invention are ensureing the premise waken up for the reserved enough time of the preparations such as recovery radio frequency of sleeping
Under, in the way of waking up from sleep in the interruption of time slot 6, wake-up system late as possible extends sleeping time.Match in DRX
It sets that shorter or task is more when chance of sleeping is less, the time of a nearly subframe (such as 5ms) can be slept more, can effectively be reached
To power saving purpose.
