Embodiments of the present application describe various embodiments in connection with a terminal device and a network device, wherein: a terminal device may also be called a User Equipment (UE), an access terminal, a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a User terminal, a wireless communication device, a User agent, a User device, or the like. The terminal device may be a Station (ST) in a WLAN, may be a cellular telephone, a cordless telephone, a session initiation protocol (Session Initiation Protocol, SIP) phone, a wireless local loop (Wireless Local Loop, WLL) station, a personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA) device, a handheld device with wireless communication functionality, a computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, a vehicle mounted device, a wearable device, and a next generation communication system, such as a terminal device in an NR network or a terminal device in a future evolved public land mobile network (Public Land Mobile Network, PLMN) network, etc.

By way of example, and not limitation, in embodiments of the present application, the terminal device may also be a wearable device. The wearable device can also be called as a wearable intelligent device, and is a generic name for intelligently designing daily wear by applying wearable technology and developing wearable devices, such as glasses, gloves, watches, clothes, shoes and the like. The wearable device is a portable device that is worn directly on the body or integrated into the clothing or accessories of the user. The wearable device is not only a hardware device, but also can realize a powerful function through software support, data interaction and cloud interaction. The generalized wearable intelligent device includes full functionality, large size, and may not rely on the smart phone to implement complete or partial functionality, such as: smart watches or smart glasses, etc., and focus on only certain types of application functions, and need to be used in combination with other devices, such as smart phones, for example, various smart bracelets, smart jewelry, etc. for physical sign monitoring.

The network device may be a device for communicating with the mobile device, the network device may be an Access Point (AP) in WLAN, a base station (Base Transceiver Station, BTS) in GSM or CDMA, a base station (NodeB, NB) in WCDMA, an evolved base station (Evolutional Node B, eNB or eNodeB) in LTE, or a relay station or an Access Point, or a vehicle device, a wearable device, and a network device (gNB) in NR network, or a network device in future evolved PLMN network, etc.

In the embodiment of the present application, the network device provides services for a cell, and the terminal device communicates with the network device through a transmission resource (for example, a frequency domain resource, or a spectrum resource) used by the cell, where the cell may be a cell corresponding to the network device (for example, a base station), and the cell may belong to a macro base station, or may belong to a base station corresponding to a Small cell (Small cell), where the Small cell may include: urban cells (Metro cells), micro cells (Micro cells), pico cells (Pico cells), femto cells (Femto cells) and the like, and the small cells have the characteristics of small coverage area and low transmitting power and are suitable for providing high-rate data transmission services.

It should be appreciated that research and standardization of 5G technology has enabled wireless broadband mobile communications with higher peak rates, greater transmission bandwidths, and lower transmission delays. For example, the operating bandwidth of a 5G terminal device is on the order of 100MHz to hundreds of MHz, the data transmission rate is Gbps, and the transmission delay is reduced to ms.

However, there are some implementation and specific problems for the terminal device, for example, wideband terminal radio frequency and fast baseband processing cause the power consumption of the terminal device to be increased compared with the conventional wireless communication system. This can affect the standby time and the use time of the 5G terminal device and even the battery life of the terminal.

Therefore, some energy-saving measures are required to be designed to ensure that the terminal equipment can be normally used in the NR system so as to improve the user experience. Based on the above, the application provides a method for rapidly reporting the terminal energy-saving mode. The expected working mode can be rapidly reported to the network equipment based on the physical layer signaling (L1 signaling) or the MAC CE signaling, so that the network equipment is facilitated to configure the terminal equipment in a specific working mode based on the expected working mode reported by the terminal equipment, and the energy-saving effect is realized. Due to the rapidness of the L1 signaling or the MAC CE signaling, the actual power consumption requirement of the terminal equipment can be more fully and rapidly matched, and the optimized energy-saving effect is realized.

Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a wireless communication method 200 according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 2, the method 200 may include the following:

s210, the terminal device sends first information to the network device, where the first information is used to indicate an expected operation mode.

The expected operation mode may refer to an expected operation parameter set and/or an expected operation mode. For example, when the current electric quantity of the terminal equipment is low, the terminal equipment can work in an operating mode with an energy-saving effect, and at the moment, the terminal equipment can adopt fewer transmitting or receiving antennas, adopts narrower receiving bandwidth, adopts PDCCH search space cycles with larger cycles to monitor, adopts a wake-up mechanism for PDCCH monitoring or a wake-up mechanism for DRX ON, and the like.

It should be understood that, with fewer transmitting or receiving antennas, narrower receiving bandwidth Part (BWP), listening in PDCCH search space periods with larger periods, and the wake-up mechanism of PDCCH listening or the wake-up mechanism of DRX ON, etc. are some energy saving means, and the terminal device may implement energy saving based ON the energy saving means.

Alternatively, the terminal device may have a plurality of operation modes, each operation mode corresponding to a different power consumption.

As an example, assume that the terminal device has 3 operation modes, denoted as operation mode 1, operation mode 2 and operation mode 3, respectively, wherein operation mode 1 corresponds to an optimal energy saving effect, operation mode 2 corresponds to a medium energy saving effect, and operation mode 3 corresponds to a normal power consumption level, i.e. operation mode 3 does not particularly optimize energy saving. Specifically, the operation mode 1 corresponds to the operation parameters of the first table, the operation mode 2 corresponds to the operation parameters of the second table, and the operation mode 3 corresponds to the operation parameters of the third table.

List one

Parameters (parameters)	Value taking
		Antenna	1 receiving or transmitting antenna
Maximum BWP bandwidth	10MHz
		Scheduling method	Cross-slot scheduling (minimum k0=2)
PDCCH search space cycle	20slot

Watch II

Parameters (parameters)	Value taking
		Antenna	2 receiving or transmitting antenna
Maximum BWP bandwidth	20MHz
		Scheduling method	Cross-slot scheduling (minimum k0=1)
PDCCH search space cycle	5slot

Watch III

Parameters (parameters)	Value taking
		Antenna	4 receiving or transmitting antenna
Maximum BWP bandwidth	100MHz
		Scheduling method	Co-or cross-slot scheduling (minimum k0=0)
PDCCH search space cycle	1slot

The parameters in the first, second and third tables are merely examples for illustrating the problem, and do not limit the type and value of the parameters.

It should be understood that the smaller the number of antennas, the smaller the power consumption; the narrower the maximum BWP bandwidth, the smaller the power consumption; the larger the scheduling granularity is, the smaller the power consumption is; the longer the PDCCH search space cycle, the less power consumption.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first information is one of a scheduling request (Scheduling Request, SR), a physical random access channel (Physical Random Access Channel, PRACH), a preamble, a sounding reference signal (Sounding Reference Signal, SRs), a demodulation reference signal (Demodulation Reference Signal, DMRS), a medium access control element (Media Access Control Control Element, MAC CE) signaling carried by a physical uplink control channel (Physical Uplink Control Channel, PUCCH).

It should be noted that, SR, PRACH, preamble, SRS and DMRS are physical layer signals, and the transmission speed of the physical layer signals and MAC CE signaling is faster than that of RRC signaling, so that the request time can be shortened, and the network device can quickly respond to the request, so as to configure a corresponding energy-saving mode, thereby achieving the effect of matching the terminal requirements and realizing energy saving.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, different first information indicates different operation modes.

In particular, different configurations of the first information of the same type indicate different modes of operation.

Alternatively, as an example, assuming that the terminal device supports two operation modes, denoted as operation mode 1 and operation mode 2, respectively, for example, SRS 1 may be employed to request a need to switch from the current operation mode to operation mode 1, and SRS 2 may be employed to request a need to switch from the current operation mode to operation mode 2; for another example, a positive (positive) SR request may be employed to switch from the current operating mode to operating mode 1, and a negative (negative) SR request may be employed to switch from the current operating mode to operating mode 2; for another example, preamble 1 may be used to request a switch from the current mode of operation to mode 1 and preamble 2 may be used to request a switch from the current mode of operation to mode 2.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, before the terminal device sends the first information, the network device may configure a configuration parameter for the first information by the terminal device.

Specifically, the terminal device receives first configuration information sent by the network device, where the first configuration information is used to indicate a configuration parameter for the first information. Further, the terminal device determines the first information according to the current state and the configuration parameters for the first information.

For example, the terminal device receives the first configuration information transmitted by the network device through broadcasting or RRC signaling.

Optionally, the configuration parameter for the first information includes at least one of a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource, a code domain resource, a period, a trigger condition for transmitting the first information, and a corresponding operation mode.

For example, taking the first information as a preamble as an example, the configuration parameters for the first information include a time domain resource and a frequency spectrum resource (random access opportunity) where the preamble is located, a preamble number, a preamble root sequence, a period of a transmission resource, in which case, which preamble is transmitted (for example, a low-power transmission first preamble, a low-rate service transmission second preamble, etc.), an operation mode corresponding to each preamble, and so on.

Optionally, the current state includes at least one of a current state of charge and a traffic state of the terminal device.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, before the terminal device sends the first information, the network device may further configure a correspondence between at least one first information and at least one working mode for the terminal device. Further, the terminal device determines the first information according to the current state, the configuration parameter for the first information, and the correspondence between at least one first information and at least one working mode.

Specifically, the terminal device receives the second configuration information sent by the network device.

For example, the terminal device receives the second configuration information transmitted by the network device through broadcasting or RRC signaling.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, before the terminal device sends the first information, the network device may further configure parameters of different working modes for the terminal device.

Specifically, the terminal device receives third configuration information sent by the network device, where the third configuration information is used to indicate parameter configurations of different working modes. Further, after the terminal device switches to the desired operation mode, the operation may be performed based on the third configuration information.

For example, the terminal device receives the third configuration information transmitted by the draft network device through broadcasting or RRC signaling.

It should be noted that, the content indicated by the third configuration information may be related operating parameters in the first table, the second table and the third table, and of course, the content indicated by the third configuration information may not be limited to the related operating parameters in the first table, the second table and the third table.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the expected operation mode includes: an operating mode corresponding to a first power consumption level of the terminal device and an operating mode corresponding to a second power consumption level of the terminal device, wherein the power consumption of the first power consumption level is lower than the power consumption of the second power consumption level.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, after the terminal device sends the first information, the terminal device receives a first instruction sent by the network device, where the first instruction is used to indicate a working mode that can be used by the terminal device; and responding to the first instruction, and switching the terminal equipment from the current working mode to the working mode indicated by the first instruction.

Optionally, the first instruction is one of PDCCH, RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, the terminal device can rapidly report the expected working mode, so that the network device can configure the corresponding working mode for the terminal device based on the working mode reported by the terminal device, so that the terminal device works in the energy-saving mode, the energy-saving effect is achieved, and the purpose of reducing the power consumption of the terminal device is achieved.
