Description

Information reporting and receiving method, terminal and network side equipment

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to an information reporting and receiving method, a terminal, and a network device.

Background

In the 5G system, in order to further improve the power saving performance of a User Equipment (UE, also referred to as a terminal), a Wake Up Signal (WUS) based on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) is introduced. The WUS functions to inform the UE whether the PDCCH needs to be monitored during an on duration (duration) of a specific Discontinuous Reception (DRX). When there is no data, the network indicates that the UE may not need to monitor the PDCCH during the onDuration, which is equivalent to that the UE may be in a sleep state in the entire DRX long cycle, thereby saving power even further.

At present, after WUS signaling configuration, because whether a DRX onDuration timer is started and an Active time (Active time) is affected, a UE does not know how to perform a related uplink reporting behavior, and thus network communication reliability cannot be guaranteed.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

In making the description of the embodiments of the present invention, some concepts used in the following description will first be explained.

Discontinuous Reception (DRX) is intended for power saving, and a terminal in a DRX state does not need to be connected to monitor a control channel. However, if the terminal does not listen to the control channel for a long time, the delay of data transmission will be increased once data arrives. In order to achieve both power saving and transmission delay, the fifth Generation (5Generation, 5G) Media Access Control (MAC) supports two DRX cycles, a DRX long cycle and a DRX short cycle, according to the length of time that the terminal monitors the channel. If the data volume of the terminal is predicted to be more frequent or the service is sensitive to time delay, the network can configure the terminal to use a DRX short cycle; if the data volume of the predicted terminal is sparse and the time delay is insensitive, the network can configure the terminal to only use the DRX long cycle. In order to facilitate the terminal to switch between the DRX long cycle and the DRX short cycle, the DRX long cycle is required to be an integral multiple of the DRX short cycle, so as to ensure that the on duration durations (ondurations) of the DRX long cycle and the DRX short cycle are aligned.

In order to support the DRX mechanism, the base station configures a DRX related timer and parameters for the terminal, which specifically include:

a11, drx-longCyclerTartOffset: a cycle and offset for configuring a long DRX cycle, the unit of the cycle and offset being milliseconds;

a12, drx-short cycle: a cycle and an offset for configuring the short DRX cycle, the unit of the cycle and the offset being milliseconds;

a13, drx-ShortCycleTimer: the unit of the time length used for controlling the terminal to use the short DRX period is an integer, and the time length indicates that the terminal needs to maintain the integral multiple of short periods once entering the short DRX period;

a14, drx-onDurationTimer: a DRX continuous monitoring timer, during which the terminal needs to continuously monitor a PDCCH control channel of a network, and the unit of the timer is millisecond;

a15, drx-SlotOffset: the terminal starts the time delay of DRX onDurationTimer, and the offset of the starting time of DRX onDuration relative to the starting point of the subframe is set by the parameter, and the offset is integral multiple of 1/32 milliseconds.

If the UE configures a DRX parameter, a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) report and a Channel State Information (CSI) report of the UE are adjusted according to a DRX state, and whether to report is determined according to the DRX state.

If the periodic SRS or the semi-persistent SRS meets the trigger condition, the MAC entity of the UE needs to evaluate whether the current UE is in an Active state (Active time) according to various control information received before 4ms of the symbol n, for example, uplink or downlink scheduling, DRX command MAC CE, Long DRX command MAC CE, a scheduling request, and the like, and if the current symbol n is activated, the UE normally reports the triggered periodic SRS or the triggered semi-persistent SRS, and if the current symbol n is not in the Active state, the UE does not report the periodic SRS and the semi-persistent SRS.

For CSI reporting, when the UE configures a CSI-Mask flag, it means that the UE only allows reporting CSI on a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) in DRX onDuration, and the MAC entity of the UE needs to evaluate whether an onDuration timer is running according to Uplink and downlink scheduling, DRX Command MAC CE, and Long DRX Command MAC CE before 4ms of the symbol n at present, and if not, does not report CSI on the PUCCH. When the UE is not configured with the CSI-Mask flag, the MAC entity of the current symbol n and the UE needs to evaluate whether the current UE is in an Active state (Active time) according to various control information received before 4ms of the symbol n, for example, uplink or downlink scheduling, DRX command MAC CE, Long DRX command MAC CE, scheduling request, and the like, if the current UE is in the Active state, the UE normally reports triggered CSI on PUCCH or semi-persistent CSI on PUSCH, and if the current UE is not in the Active state, the UE does not report CSI on PUCCH and semi-persistent CSI on PUSCH.

The invention provides an information reporting and receiving method, a terminal and network side equipment, aiming at the problem that whether a DRX onDuration timer is started or not and an Active time (Active time) is influenced by the configuration of a WUS signaling, UE does not know how to carry out related uplink reporting behaviors, and the reliability of network communication cannot be ensured.

As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides an information reporting method, which is applied to a terminal, and includes:

step 101, in a discontinuous reception cycle, if a condition for triggering the reporting of the first information is met, judging whether the terminal receives a wake-up signal before a first time;

it should be noted that the drx cycle in the embodiments of the present invention may be a long drx cycle (which may also be referred to as a drx long cycle) or a short drx cycle (which may also be referred to as a drx short cycle).

The first time is a target time minus a preset time, the target time is a time meeting a condition for triggering the first information reporting, it should be noted that the preset time is determined according to a time for which the terminal with the slowest processing capability can analyze the wake-up signal, and for example, the preset time may be 4 ms.

It should be further noted that the first information may be a periodic SRS, a semi-persistent SRS, CSI on PUCCH, semi-persistent CSI on Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), or the like.

Step 102, if the terminal receives the wake-up signal before the first time, when it is determined that the terminal is in an activated state or a timer of a duration monitoring time of the terminal is started, sending the first information to a network side device.

In the embodiment of the invention, when the terminal has the information to be reported, the terminal reports the information to the network side equipment only when the terminal is in an activated state or the continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is started within the continuous monitoring time of the information to be reported, so that the reporting behavior of the terminal is defined when the wake-up signal is configured.

Optionally, an implementation manner is that the terminal may regard receiving the wake-up signal as starting the duration monitoring time timer, and if the terminal does not receive the wake-up signal, it regards as not starting the duration monitoring time timer, and in this case, the specific implementation manner of step 102 is: and if the terminal receives the wake-up signal before the first time, determining that a continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is started, and sending the first information to network side equipment.

Further, if the terminal does not receive the wake-up signal before the first time, it is determined that the duration timer of the terminal is not started, and the first information is prohibited from being sent to the network side device.

Optionally, another implementation manner is that the wake-up signal may indicate whether the terminal monitors the PDCCH in the next continuous monitoring time when the wake-up signal is received, start a continuous monitoring time timer when the terminal indicates that the PDCCH needs to be monitored, and not start the continuous monitoring time timer when the terminal indicates that the PDCCH does not need to be monitored.

It should be further noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the duration monitoring time timer of the terminal is in the starting state, the terminal is necessarily in the active state, and if the terminal is in the active state, the duration monitoring time timer of the terminal is not necessarily in the starting state.

Specifically, in this case, the specific implementation manner of step 102 is: if the terminal receives a wake-up signal before the first time, judging whether the terminal is in an activated state or whether a continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is started or not according to the indication of the wake-up signal; and when the terminal is in an activated state or a continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is started, sending the first information to network side equipment.

Optionally, after the determining whether the terminal is in an active state or whether the timer for the duration of the listening time of the terminal is started, the embodiment of the present invention further includes:

and when the terminal is not in an activated state or the continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is not started, prohibiting the first information from being sent to the network side equipment.

That is to say, when the terminal has information to report, the terminal will not report the information to the network side device during the continuous monitoring time of the information to be reported if the terminal is not in the active state or the continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is not started. In this case, regardless of the type of information to be reported, the terminal does not report the information as long as the terminal is not in an active state or the duration timer of the terminal is not started.

Optionally, after the step 102, in an embodiment of the present invention, further including:

when the terminal is not in an activated state or a continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is not started, judging whether the first information to be sent is contained in first preset information or not;

if the first information is contained in first preset information, the first information is sent to network side equipment;

and if the first information is not contained in the first preset information, prohibiting the first information from being sent to the network side equipment.

It should be noted that, the first preset information is configured by a protocol agreement or a network side device; the first preset information is information that needs to be reported to the network side device no matter what state the terminal is in, and specifically, the first preset information includes but is not limited to: at least one of the periodic SRS, the semi-persistent SRS, the CSI on PUCCH, and the semi-persistent CSI on PUSCH, that is, the first preset information may be regarded as a set including at least one piece of information, and when the first preset information is determined, it is determined whether the first information belongs to the set, if the first information belongs to the set, the terminal sends the first information to the network side device, and if the first information does not belong to the set, the terminal prohibits sending the first information to the network side device.

For example, the first preset information is a periodic SRS, and when CSI on a PUCCH is triggered to be reported, and the terminal is not in an active state or a duration timer of the terminal is not started, the terminal does not report the CSI on the PUCCH to the network side device; for example, when the first preset information includes: when the periodic SRS is triggered and needs to be reported, the periodic SRS is contained in the first preset information, and when the terminal is not in an activated state or a continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is not started, the terminal reports the periodic SRS to the network side equipment.

It should be noted that, the terminal receiving the wake-up signal before the first time point means that the terminal has a wake-up signal configuration position before the first time point, and the wake-up signal is also received at the configuration position.

It should be noted that, alternatively, the terminal does not receive the wake-up signal before the first time, that is, the terminal cannot determine the terminal status according to the wake-up signal, and in this case, optionally, the terminal may perform one of the following cases:

a11, if the terminal does not receive the wake-up signal before the first time, determining that a continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal starts and/or sending the first information to network side equipment;

in this case, the first mode is: a continuous monitoring time timer of a default terminal is started, and the terminal needs to report information under the condition that the continuous monitoring time timer is started; the second way is: the terminal directly reports the information no matter the state of the continuous monitoring time timer; the third mode is as follows: and starting a continuous monitoring time timer of the default terminal and reporting the information at the same time.

A12, if the terminal does not receive the wake-up signal before the first time, determining that the continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is not started and/or prohibiting to send the first information to the network side equipment;

in this case, the first mode is: the continuous monitoring time timer of the default terminal is not started, and the terminal does not need to report information under the condition that the continuous monitoring time timer is not started; the second way is: the terminal does not report the information directly no matter the state of the continuous monitoring time timer; the third mode is as follows: and the timer of the continuous monitoring time of the default terminal is not started, and meanwhile, the information is not reported.

It should be noted that, the implementation manners of a11 and a12 described above may directly determine the subsequent flow according to a11 or a12 agreed by the protocol in the case that the terminal does not receive the wake-up signal before the first time.

A13, determining whether to send the first information to the network side equipment according to the first indication information sent by the network side equipment;

the first indication information is used for indicating whether the terminal is in an activated state or whether a continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is started or not under the continuous monitoring time of the target moment.

It should be noted that, the first indication information is configured by a network side device through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, and when the first indication information indicates that the terminal is in an active state or a continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is started, the first information is sent to the network side device; and when the first indication information indicates that the terminal is not in an activated state or a continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is not started, prohibiting to send the first information to network side equipment.

Optionally, the terminal does not receive the wake-up signal before the first time, that is, the terminal cannot determine the state of the terminal according to the wake-up signal at this time, in this case, the embodiment of the present invention further includes:

if the terminal does not receive the wake-up signal before the first time, judging whether the first information to be sent is contained in second preset information;

if the first information is contained in second preset information, the first information is sent to network side equipment;

and if the first information is not contained in the second preset information, prohibiting the first information from being sent to the network side equipment.

It should be noted that the second preset information is configured by a protocol agreement or a network side device; the second preset information is information that needs to be reported to the network side device no matter what state the terminal is in, and specifically, the second preset information includes but is not limited to: at least one of periodic SRS, semi-persistent SRS, CSI on PUCCH, and semi-persistent CSI on PUSCH.

For example, the second preset information is a periodic SRS, and when the CSI on the PUCCH is triggered to be reported and the terminal does not receive the wake-up signal before the first time, the CSI on the PUCCH is not reported to the network side device; for example, when the second preset information includes: when the periodic SRS and the CSI on the PUCCH are triggered, and the periodic SRS needs to be reported, the terminal reports the periodic SRS to the network side device when the terminal does not receive the wake-up signal before the first time because the periodic SRS is included in the second preset information.

It should be further noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the case that the terminal does not receive the wake-up signal before the first time includes one of the following cases:

b11, before the first time, there is no wake-up signal configuration position;

it should be noted that, if there is no wake-up signal configuration location, the network side device will not send a wake-up signal, and the terminal will not receive the wake-up signal naturally.

B12, before the first time, there is a wake-up signal configuration position, where the terminal does not receive a wake-up signal;

it should be noted that, in this case, there is a wake-up signal configuration location, and in one case, if the network side device does not send a wake-up signal at the wake-up signal configuration location, the terminal will not receive the wake-up signal at the configuration location; in another case, the network side device sends the wake-up signal at the wake-up signal configuration location, but the terminal fails to receive the wake-up signal at the configuration location; both of these situations are referred to as a loss of wake-up signal.

It should be further noted that, because the configuration of the wake-up signal and the configuration of the sustained listening time do not necessarily exactly match, and it is possible that one wake-up signal period is greater than the sustained listening time period, there exists a wake-up signal time corresponding to a plurality of sustained listening time periods, specifically, the rule that the plurality of sustained listening times may have different wake-up signals (i.e., the wake-up signal corresponds to at least two sustained listening times) includes one of:

c11, the wake-up signal is used to indicate whether the terminal monitors the physical downlink control channel in at least two continuous monitoring time periods;

that is, one wake-up signal simultaneously indicates the states of the terminals for a plurality of sustained listening times.

C12, the wake-up signal is used to indicate whether the terminal monitors a physical downlink control channel within a latest continuous monitoring time;

it should be noted that, in this case, one wake-up signal can only indicate the state of the terminal within the closest one of the sustained listening time, and the states of the remaining sustained listening time are configured by a protocol convention or by RRC signaling of the network side device.

The following describes a specific implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention by taking the wake-up signal configuration position and the wake-up signal configuration non-position as examples.

One, the terminal has wake-up signal configuration position 4ms before symbol n and before

Since the introduction of the wake-up signal only affects whether the on duration timer (onDuration timer) is started in the DRX or not, and does not affect other DRX behaviors, all examples of the present invention are scenarios in which the wake-up signal and the on duration timer are started to affect the active state of the terminal in an interval related to the triggering of reporting of the current symbol n and a preset time (e.g., 4ms) before. And for other scenes which are not directly related to the awakening signal, judging whether to report according to the existing behaviors. For example, in the location relationship example shown in fig. 2, if the time symbol n (i.e., symbol n) of the uplink trigger of the terminal is located outside the duration of the persistent listening time, for example, in an inactive state before the persistent listening time, the terminal does not perform uplink reporting according to the existing principle at this time.

As further shown in fig. 2, it is assumed that the terminal satisfies the uplink reporting condition at symbol n, for example, the periodic SRS, the semi-persistent SRS, the CSI report on the PUCCH, or the semi-persistent CSI report on the PUSCH is triggered. Whether the report triggered by the terminal at this time needs to be sent or abandons sending is mainly determined by whether the state of the current symbol n time of the terminal is in an activated state or whether a continuous monitoring time timer is started or not, which is caused by various control signaling received before the symbol n time is reduced by 4 ms.

It should be particularly noted that, only the effect of the control signaling before the symbol n time is reduced by 4ms is considered, mainly considering different processing delays of the terminals, assuming the slowest terminal processing capability, it takes 4ms to parse one control command, and when the control signaling received before the symbol n time is reduced by 4ms, it can be ensured that the slowest terminal can correctly parse and execute at the symbol n time, so that behaviors of all terminals and the network side need to be unified, and the control signaling received before the symbol n time is reduced by 4ms is taken as the standard. For some terminals with fast processing capability, the control signaling of 4ms between the time of symbol n and its minus 4ms may be analyzed again, but the current latest state is not taken as the standard, but the standard unified behavior is taken as the standard, so as to achieve the complete consistency of the network side and the terminal understanding and behavior.

X1, it can be seen from fig. 1 that before the symbol n minus 4ms, the terminal receives an awake signal at time t1 (indicating on/off) for informing the finger whether to start the persistent listening time timer and monitor PDCCH during the next persistent listening time.

X11, assuming that the wake-up signal indicates the terminal to start the duration timer and monitor the PDCCH, the reporting behavior of the terminal is as follows:

if the triggered periodic SRS or semi-continuous SRS is the periodic SRS or the semi-continuous SRS, the terminal reports the normal SRS because the terminal is in the activated state at the moment of the symbol n;

if the terminal configures the CSI-mask indication, when the CSI reporting on the PUCCH is triggered, the terminal normally reports the triggered CSI as the continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is started and is in the continuous monitoring time period; on the contrary, if the terminal does not configure the CSI-mask indication, when the triggered CSI report on the PUCCH or the semi-persistent CSI report on the PUSCH is triggered, since the terminal is in an active state at this time, the terminal normally reports the triggered CSI.

X12, assuming that the wake-up signal indicates that the terminal does not start the duration timer and does not monitor the PDCCH, the behavior of the terminal is as follows:

if the triggered periodic SRS or semi-continuous SRS is the periodic SRS or the semi-continuous SRS, the terminal does not report the SRS because the terminal is in an inactive state at the moment of the symbol n;

if the terminal configures the CSI-mask indication, when the CSI reporting on the PUCCH is triggered, the terminal does not report the triggered CSI because the continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is not started and is in the period of the inactive state; on the contrary, if the terminal does not configure the CSI-mask indication, when the triggered CSI report on the PUCCH or the semi-persistent CSI report on the PUSCH, the terminal does not report the triggered CSI because the terminal is in the inactive state at this time.

X2, if the wake-up signal at time t1 configures a location, the terminal does not receive any wake-up signal for itself, i.e. the terminal does not explicitly receive a network indication as to whether to start the persistent listening time timer and monitor PDCCH during the next persistent listening time, at which time the terminal may behave in the following manner:

x21, if the wake-up signal is lost, it means that the terminal starts the duration monitoring time timer and monitors the PDCCH in the next duration monitoring time, and then the terminal performs the reporting behavior similar to the above X11;

x22, the loss of the wake-up signal means that the terminal does not start the duration monitoring time timer and does not monitor the PDCCH during the next duration monitoring time, and then the terminal performs a similar behavior to the above X12;

it should be noted that the terminal specifically executes X21 or X22, and the determination may be made according to RRC signaling of the network side device.

It should be further noted that, in the case of a loss of the wake-up signal, the terminal may also determine, according to a protocol convention or an RRC signaling configuration, that part of the reporting (one or more of the periodic SRS, the semi-persistent SRS, the CSI reporting on the PUCCH, and the semi-persistent CSI reporting on the PUSCH) is performed according to X21, and the rest of the reporting is performed according to X22.

Second, the terminal has no wake-up signal configuration position 4ms before the symbol n and before

As shown in fig. 3, it is another typical example, that a terminal satisfies a condition for performing uplink reporting at symbol n, for example, periodic SRS, semi-persistent SRS, CSI reporting on PUCCH, or semi-persistent CSI reporting on PUSCH is triggered. Whether the report triggered by the terminal at this time needs to be sent or abandons sending depends mainly on various control signaling (including a wake-up signal) received before the symbol n moment is reduced by 4ms, so that the state of the current symbol n moment of the terminal is caused, whether the current symbol n moment is in an active state or not, and whether a continuous monitoring time timer is started or not.

As can be seen from fig. 3, before the symbol n minus 4ms, the terminal has no wake-up signal configuration location for indicating whether to start the corresponding sustained listening time timer and monitor the PDCCH during the next sustained listening time, and the desired wake-up signal configuration location occurs at a location between the symbol n minus 4 ms. For this case, even some terminals with very high processing capability may have already resolved the latest wake-up signal at symbol n and performed according to the indication of the wake-up signal, such as the on/off of the continuous listening time timer and the PDCCH listening/off. However, the wake-up signal is still not analyzed for the terminal with the slowest processing capability, so the state at this time is unknown for the slowest terminal, and the behaviors of the whole terminals and the network side need to be unified according to the slowest terminal, and the specific behaviors of the terminals are as follows:

y11, regarding that the terminal is in an active state during the next sustained monitoring time of symbol n minus 4ms, starting the sustained monitoring time timer and monitoring the PDCCH, the terminal performs the following corresponding operations:

if the triggered periodic SRS or semi-continuous SRS is the periodic SRS or the semi-continuous SRS, the terminal reports the normal SRS because the symbol n at the moment stipulates or configures that the terminal is in an activated state (possibly the same as the current actual state of the terminal or wants to be reversed);

if the terminal configures the CSI-mask indication, when the CSI reporting on the PUCCH is triggered, the terminal normally reports the triggered CSI as a continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is set or configured to be started and is in a continuous monitoring time period (which may be the same as the current actual state of the terminal or is against the current actual state of the terminal); on the contrary, if the terminal does not configure the CSI-mask indication, when the triggered CSI report on the PUCCH or the semi-persistent CSI report on the PUSCH is triggered, since the terminal is specified or configured in an active state (which may be the same as or contrary to the current actual state of the terminal), the terminal normally reports the triggered CSI.

Y12, regarding that the terminal is in an inactive state during the next persistent monitoring time of symbol n minus 4ms, and does not start the persistent monitoring time timer and monitor PDCCH, the terminal performs the following corresponding operations:

if the triggered periodic SRS or semi-continuous SRS is the periodic SRS or the semi-continuous SRS, the terminal does not report the SRS because the symbol n at the moment stipulates or configures that the terminal is in an inactive state (possibly the same as the current actual state of the terminal or wants to be reversed);

if the terminal configures the CSI-mask indication, when CSI reporting on a PUCCH is triggered, the terminal does not report the triggered CSI because a continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is stipulated or configured at the moment and is not started and is in an inactive state period (which may be the same as the current actual state of the terminal or is against the current actual state of the terminal); on the contrary, if the terminal does not configure the CSI-mask indication, when the triggered CSI report on the PUCCH or the semi-persistent CSI report on the PUSCH is triggered, the terminal is in an inactive state (which may be the same as or contrary to the current actual state of the terminal) due to the provision or configuration, and the terminal does not report the triggered CSI.

It should be noted that the terminal specifically executes Y11 or Y12, and may determine according to RRC signaling of the network side device.

It should be further noted that, in the case of a wake-up signal loss, the terminal may also determine, according to a protocol agreement or an RRC signaling configuration mode, that part of the reporting (one or more of the periodic SRS, the semi-persistent SRS, the CSI reporting on the PUCCH, or the semi-persistent CSI reporting on the PUSCH) is performed according to Y11, and the remaining reporting is performed according to Y12.

Further, the above example does not limit the duration listening time to the duration listening time corresponding to the long discontinuous reception period, and in fact, the above processing method is also applicable if the short discontinuous reception period has the corresponding wake-up signal or the corresponding default on/off rule. The continuous listening time mentioned in the embodiment of the present invention may be in a long discontinuous reception period, or may be in a short discontinuous reception period, and the processing manner is similar.

It should be noted that, in the foregoing two examples, a behavior of the RRC signaling configuration rule occurs, and when the condition of the terminal is abnormal (for example, a wake-up signal is lost) or uncertain (for example, when the time does not reach the WUS interference time, an explicit on-off indication of the continuous monitoring time cannot be obtained), in addition to a simple default behavior of the terminal that can be specified by a standard, better flexibility can be provided through the RRC signaling configuration to distinguish different requirements of the terminal, for example, a terminal that wants to save power is allowed to sleep as much as possible and reports are reduced, but at this time, the reporting reduces update of the link state of the terminal, which is not timely, and is not favorable for fast and efficient transmission when a large amount of data arrives, and for a terminal that does not care about power consumption and more seeks for high performance, the reporting can be performed by reducing sleep through the RRC signaling configuration, although the power consumption is increased, the method is beneficial to the network side to grasp the updating of the link state of the terminal more accurately, so that the scheduling transmission can be performed quickly and efficiently when the data arrives. How to distinguish the two types of users on the network side can be obtained by considering the types of the terminals and the auxiliary information reporting of the terminals and other contents.

In addition, due to the introduction of the wake-up signal, the active state and the continuous monitoring time of the terminal are reduced, so that effective reporting of the terminal is reduced, the network side cannot obtain accurate terminal link state information, and subsequent scheduling and data transmission are not facilitated. The reporting under the influence of the wake-up signal is triggered and then the related terminal behaviors are shown in the two ways listed in the previous examples.

The term not affected by the wakeup signal means that when the reporting trigger overlaps with the duration of the duration configured in the original DRX, no matter whether the wakeup signal is received and what the content of the wakeup signal is (i.e., on/off), no matter whether the current symbol n time of the terminal or the state determined by subtracting 4ms from the symbol n is an active state, or whether the duration timer is started, as long as the terminal is currently in the duration of the original duration, the terminal insists on performing corresponding reporting.

It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present invention specifies the processing rules of the terminal under different conditions, ensures the consistency of the terminal and the network for understanding the terminal behavior, and ensures the system performance and the power saving requirement of the terminal; and an RRC configuration processing mode is introduced, and different requirements of different terminals can be considered, so that behavior configuration is carried out according to different requirements, and the individualized requirements of the terminals are met as much as possible on the basis of ensuring the system efficiency.

The audio output unit 530 may convert audio data received by the radio frequency unit 510 or the network module 520 or stored in the memory 590 into an audio signal and output as sound. Also, the audio output unit 530 may also provide audio output related to a specific function performed by the terminal 50 (e.g., a call signal reception sound, a message reception sound, etc.). The audio output unit 530 includes a speaker, a buzzer, a receiver, and the like.

The input unit 540 is used to receive an audio or video signal. The input Unit 540 may include a Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) 541 and a microphone 542, and the GPU 541 processes image data of a still picture or video obtained by an image capturing device (e.g., a camera) in a video capture mode or an image capture mode.

The image frames processed by the graphic processor 541 may be stored in the memory 590 (or other storage medium) or transmitted via the radio frequency unit 510 or the network module 520. The microphone 542 may receive sound, and may be capable of processing such sound into audio data.

The touch panel 571, also referred to as a touch screen, can collect touch operations by a user (e.g., operations by a user on the touch panel 571 or near the touch panel 571 using a finger, a stylus, or any suitable object or attachment). The touch panel 571 may include two parts, a touch detection device and a touch controller. The touch detection device detects the touch direction of a user, detects a signal brought by touch operation and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives touch information from the touch sensing device, converts the touch information into touch point coordinates, sends the touch point coordinates to the processor 511, and receives and executes commands sent from the processor 511.

Although the touch panel 571 and the display panel 561 are shown in fig. 5 as two independent components to implement the input and output functions of the terminal, in some embodiments, the touch panel 571 and the display panel 561 may be integrated to implement the input and output functions of the terminal, and the implementation is not limited herein.

The computer-readable storage medium may be a Read-Only Memory (ROM), a Random Access Memory (RAM), a magnetic disk or an optical disk.

As shown in fig. 6, an embodiment of the present invention provides an information receiving method, which is applied to a network device, and includes:

step 601, in a discontinuous reception cycle, if it is determined that a terminal meets a condition for triggering first information reporting, determining whether to send a wake-up signal before a first time;

The first time is a target time minus a preset time, where the target time is a time when it is determined that the terminal satisfies a condition for triggering the first information reporting, it should be noted that the preset time is determined according to a time that the terminal with the slowest processing capability can analyze the wake-up signal, and for example, the preset time may be 4 ms.

It should be noted that the first information may be periodic SRS, semi-persistent SRS, CSI on PUCCH, semi-persistent CSI on PUSCH, or the like.

Step 602, if the wake-up signal is sent before the first time, receiving the first information sent by the terminal when it is determined that the terminal is in an active state or a duration monitoring time timer of the terminal is started.

Optionally, one implementation manner is that, if the network side device sends the wake-up signal, it is determined that the duration monitoring time timer of the terminal is started, and if the network side device does not send the wake-up signal, it is determined that the duration monitoring time timer of the terminal is not started, in this case, the specific implementation manner of step 602 is: and if the wake-up signal is sent before the first time, determining that a continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is started, and receiving the first information sent by the terminal.

In this case, the terminal may be synchronized with the network-side device or may not be synchronized with the network-side device, that is, the terminal may or may not transmit the first information in this case, and therefore, in this case, the network-side device may perform an operation of receiving the first information, or may not receive the first information because the terminal does not transmit the first information.

Further, if the network side device does not send the wake-up signal before the first time, it is determined that the duration monitoring time timer of the terminal is not started, and the first information sent by the terminal is not allowed to be received.

It should be noted that, although the network-side device does not transmit the wake-up signal, if the terminal and the network-side device are not synchronized at this time, in this case, the terminal may transmit the first information, that is, one implementation case that allows not to receive the first information transmitted by the terminal is: in order to avoid the situation that the terminal reports waste because the terminal sends the first information and the network side equipment cannot receive the first information, at this time, the network side equipment needs to execute the operation of receiving the first information; another implementation case that allows not receiving the first information sent by the terminal is: the network side device does not perform the operation of receiving the first information as long as it does not send the wake-up signal.

Optionally, another implementation manner is that the wake-up signal may indicate whether the terminal monitors the PDCCH in the next continuous monitoring time when the wake-up signal is received, when it is indicated that the PDCCH needs to be monitored, the continuous monitoring time timer is started, and when it is indicated that the PDCCH does not need to be monitored, the continuous monitoring time timer is not started, and in this case, the specific implementation manner of step 602 is:

if the wake-up signal is sent before the first time, determining whether the terminal is in an activated state or whether a continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is started according to the indication of the wake-up signal; and receiving the first information sent by the terminal when the terminal is determined to be in an activated state or a continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is started.

In this case, the network-side device determines whether the terminal is in an active state or whether the duration timer of the terminal is started directly according to the instruction of the wake-up signal when the network-side device transmits the wake-up signal, but the network-side device may not correctly analyze the wake-up signal for the terminal, that is, the terminal may transmit the first information or may not transmit the first information in this case.

Further, after determining whether the terminal is in an active state or whether the timer for the duration of the listening time of the terminal is started, the embodiment of the present invention further includes:

and when the terminal is determined not to be in an activated state or the continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is not started, allowing the first information sent by the terminal not to be received.

It should be noted that, because what state the terminal is in is determined by the network side device according to the wake-up signal, at this time, a result obtained by the network side device may not be consistent with that of the terminal side, that is, even if the network side device determines that the terminal is not in an active state or the duration timer of the terminal is not started, it cannot be determined that the terminal does not send the first information, that is, one implementation case that the terminal is allowed not to receive the first information sent by the terminal is: in order to avoid the situation that the terminal reports waste because the terminal sends the first information and the network side equipment cannot receive the first information, at this time, the network side equipment needs to execute the operation of receiving the first information; another implementation case that allows not receiving the first information sent by the terminal is: and the network side equipment does not execute the operation of receiving the first information as long as the network side equipment judges that the terminal is not in the activated state or the continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is not started.

when the terminal is determined not to be in an activated state or a continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is not started, determining whether the first information to be received is contained in first preset information;

if the first information is contained in first preset information, receiving the first information sent by the terminal;

and if the first information is not contained in the first preset information, allowing not to receive the first information sent by the terminal.

It should be noted that the first preset information is determined by a protocol agreement or a network side device, where the first preset information is information that the network side device needs to receive a report of a terminal no matter what state the terminal is in, and specifically, the first preset information includes, but is not limited to: at least one of periodic SRS, semi-persistent SRS, CSI on PUCCH, and semi-persistent CSI on PUSCH.

It should be noted that, even if the first information is not the first preset information, the network side device may monitor the report information sent by the terminal, but the network side device cannot monitor any information when the terminal does not report information.

It should be noted that, the fact that the network side device sends the wake-up signal before the first time indicates that the network side device has a wake-up signal receiving location before the first time, and the network side device sends the wake-up signal at the location.

It should be further noted that, alternatively, the network-side device does not send the wake-up signal before the first time, and optionally, in this case, the network-side device may perform one of the following cases:

h11, if the wake-up signal is not sent before the first time, determining that a continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal starts and/or receiving the first information sent by the terminal;

in this case, the first mode is: the network side equipment defaults that a continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is started, and under the condition that the continuous monitoring time timer is started, the terminal needs to report information, and the network side equipment also needs to receive first information; the second mode is as follows: the terminal directly reports the information regardless of the state of the continuous monitoring time timer, and the network side equipment directly receives the first information regardless of the state of the continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal; the third mode is as follows: the network side device defaults that a timer of a continuous monitoring time of the terminal is started, and simultaneously reports information, so that the network side device also needs to receive the first information.

If the terminal and the network side device do not understand in a matching manner, the network side device may not receive the first information even if the first information is received.

H12, if the wake-up signal is not sent before the first time, determining that a continuous listening time timer of the terminal is not started and/or allowing the first information sent by the terminal not to be received;

in this case, the first mode is: the network side equipment defaults that a continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is not started, and under the condition that the continuous monitoring time timer is not started, the terminal does not need to report information theoretically, but if the network side equipment judges the state of the terminal by mistake, the first information is lost, at the moment, the network side equipment can execute the operation of receiving the first information so as to avoid the waste of terminal report, and the operation of receiving the first information can not be executed; the second way is: the network side equipment directly receives or does not receive the first information regardless of the state of the continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal; the third mode is as follows: the network side device defaults that a continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is not started, and meanwhile, information is not reported, however, if the network side device misjudges the state of the terminal, a situation that the first information is lost occurs, at this time, the network side device may or may not receive the first information.

It should be noted that, the implementation manners of H11 and H12 described above may be directly agreed in the protocol, that is, the network side device directly determines the subsequent flow according to H11 or H12 agreed by the protocol in the case that it is determined that the terminal does not receive the wake-up signal before the first time.

H13, determining whether to receive the first information sent by the terminal according to the first indication information;

It should be noted that the first indication information is configured by a network side device through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, and when the first indication information indicates that the terminal is in an active state or a duration timer of the terminal is started, the first indication information is received from the terminal; and when the first indication information indicates that the terminal is not in an activated state or a continuous monitoring time timer of the terminal is not started, allowing the first information sent by the terminal not to be received.

Optionally, in a case that the network side device does not send the wake up signal before the first time, the embodiment of the present invention further includes:

if the wake-up signal is not sent before the first time, determining whether the first information to be received is contained in second preset information;

if the first information is contained in second preset information, receiving the first information sent by the terminal;

and if the first information is not contained in second preset information, allowing the first information sent by the terminal not to be received.

It should be noted that the second preset information is determined by a protocol agreement or a network side device, where the second preset information is information that the network side device needs to receive the report information of the terminal no matter what state the terminal is in, and specifically, the second preset information includes but is not limited to: at least one of periodic SRS, semi-persistent SRS, CSI on PUCCH, and semi-persistent CSI on PUSCH.

It should be noted that, even if the first information is not the second preset information, the network side device may monitor the report information sent by the terminal, but the network side device cannot monitor any information when the terminal does not report information.

It should be further noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the absence of sending the wake-up signal before the first time includes one of the following cases:

k11, before the first moment, there is no wake-up signal configuration position;

it should be noted that, if there is no wake-up signal configuration location, the network side device does not send a wake-up signal.

K12, before the first time, a wake-up signal configuration position exists, and the network side equipment does not send a wake-up signal at the wake-up signal configuration position;

in this case, there is a wake-up signal configuration location, and the network-side device does not transmit a wake-up signal at the wake-up signal configuration location.

It should be further noted that, since the configuration of the wake-up signal and the configuration of the persistent listening time are not necessarily exactly matched, and it is possible that one wake-up signal period is greater than the persistent listening time period, there may be one wake-up signal time corresponding to a plurality of persistent listening time periods, specifically, the rule that the plurality of persistent listening times may have different wake-up signals (i.e., the wake-up signal corresponds to at least two persistent listening times) includes one of the following:

m11, the wake-up signal is used to indicate the terminal whether to monitor the physical downlink control channel in at least two continuous monitoring time simultaneously;

M12, the wake-up signal is used to indicate whether the terminal monitors a physical downlink control channel within a latest continuous monitoring time;

it should be noted that, in this case, one wake-up signal can only indicate the state of the terminal within the closest continuous listening time, and the states of the remaining continuous listening times are configured by protocol convention or by RRC signaling of the network side device.
