Description

Wake-up signal sending method and device

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for sending a wake-up signal.

Background

At present, in some communication systems, such as a narrowband band internet of things (NB-IoT), a fifth generation (5th generation, 5G) network, or a new radio access (NR) system, a terminal has two states, one is a connection state, which indicates that the terminal has established a connection with a network device and can directly perform communication; one is an idle state or a so-called sleep state, in which the terminal cannot communicate directly with the network device. In order to ensure that the network device can find the terminal in the idle state in time, the network device sends a paging signal to the terminal in a paging mode to indicate that the terminal is switched from the idle state to a connection state so as to communicate with the network device; accordingly, in order to receive the paging signal, the terminal periodically wakes up to monitor a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) to receive the paging signal,

in practical applications, the probability of the network device paging the terminal is generally low. In order to reduce power consumption of the terminal for monitoring the PDCCH, the network device may transmit a wake-up signal (WUS) to the terminal in advance, and the terminal may monitor the PDCCH only after receiving the wake-up signal.

In the existing scheme, when a network device generates a wake-up signal, the network device generates the wake-up signal based on a ZC sequence and a GOLD sequence, where a GOLD sequence is generated according to the number of subframes actually occupied by the wake-up signal, and accordingly, when monitoring the wake-up signal, the terminal does not know the number of subframes actually occupied by the wake-up signal, and needs to perform blind detection on the wake-up signal.

In this process, when the terminal performs blind detection, a local sequence needs to be generated for each possible number of occupied subframes, so that the complexity and power consumption of the terminal blind detection are increased.

By the method, the first device utilizes the GOLD sequence with the length of 264 × L (N-1) +264 × M when generating the wake-up signal sequence, so that the second device serving as the receiving end can also adopt GOLD sequences with the same length when generating the local sequence, each possible M value can have the same part between the adopted GOLD sequences, the local sequence also has the same part, and when performing sequence detection, the detection result of the same part subjected to sequence detection can be delayed, and only different parts in the local sequence are subjected to sequence detection, so that the complexity of blind detection can be effectively reduced, and further the power consumption can be reduced.

For example, Personal Communication Service (PCS) phones, cordless phones, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phones, Wireless Local Loop (WLL) stations, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), and the like. Also included are constrained devices, such as devices that consume less power, or devices that have limited storage capabilities, or devices that have limited computing capabilities, etc. Examples of information sensing devices include bar codes, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), sensors, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), laser scanners, and the like.

By way of example and not limitation, in the embodiments of the present application, the terminal device may also be a wearable device. Wearable equipment can also be called wearable intelligent equipment or intelligent wearable equipment and the like, and is a general term for applying wearable technology to carry out intelligent design and develop wearable equipment for daily wearing, such as glasses, gloves, watches, clothes, shoes and the like. A wearable device is a portable device that is worn directly on the body or integrated into the clothing or accessories of the user.

The various terminal devices described above, if located on a vehicle (e.g. placed in or mounted in a vehicle), may be considered to be vehicle-mounted terminal devices, also referred to as on-board units (OBUs), for example.

2) Network devices, including, for example, Access Network (AN) devices, such as base stations (e.g., access points)) And may refer to a device in an access network that communicates over the air-interface, through one or more cells, with wireless terminal devices. The base station may be configured to interconvert received air frames and Internet Protocol (IP) packets as a router between the terminal device and the rest of the access network, which may include an IP network. The network device may also coordinate attribute management for the air interface. For example, the network device may include an evolved Node B (NodeB or eNB or e-NodeB) in an LTE system or an LTE-a (long term evolution-advanced), or may also include a fifth generation mobile communication technology (the 5) ^th generation, 5G) new air interface (new radio, NR) system, or may also include a Centralized Unit (CU) and a Distributed Unit (DU) in a Cloud RAN (Cloud RAN) system, or may also include a relay device, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

3) PDCCH, downlink control channel sent by a network device (such as a base station) to a terminal device, is used for at least one or more of the following functions: (1) and sending downlink scheduling information, also called downlink assignment (downlink assignment) information, to the terminal equipment, wherein the downlink scheduling information includes transmission parameters of the PDSCH, so that the terminal equipment can receive the PDSCH. The PDSCH is used for bearing downlink data sent by the network equipment to the terminal equipment; (2) and sending uplink scheduling information to the terminal device, where the uplink scheduling information is also referred to as uplink grant (uplink grant) information, and the uplink scheduling information includes a transmission parameter of a PUSCH, so that the terminal device sends the PUSCH to the network device. The PUSCH is used for bearing uplink data sent to the network equipment by the terminal equipment; (3) sending a request for reporting a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI); (4) sending an uplink power control command, wherein the uplink power control command is used for a terminal device to determine the sending power of an uplink channel; (5) carrying related information of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ); (6) the Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) information is carried, the RNTI information may be implicitly included in Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), and the RNTI information is used for the terminal device to determine whether the PDCCH sent by the network device is sent to the terminal device.

The information carried by the PDCCH may be referred to as Downlink Control Information (DCI), one PDCCH carries only one format of DCI scrambled by one RNTI, and the information carried by the DCI may be different according to different DCI formats (formats) and/or different configurations of higher layer signaling (RRC signaling). The DCI may indicate cell-level information, such as downlink control information indicating that a terminal device is scrambled using a system message radio network temporary identifier (RNTI, SI-RNTI), paging RNTI (P-RNTI), or random access RNTI (RA-RNTI), or may indicate terminal device-level information, such as downlink control information indicating that a terminal device is scrambled using a cell RNTI (C-RNTI), configured scheduling RNTI (CS-RNTI), or semi-persistent CSI RNTI (SP CSI-RNTI).

The network device may send multiple PDCCHs on one control resource set, where the multiple PDCCHs may carry the same or different control information, including scheduling information of downlink data or scheduling information of uplink data, that is, the scheduling information may schedule downlink data of the terminal device, and may also schedule uplink data of the terminal device. In addition, the network device may also schedule multiple terminal devices in one control resource set, and each scheduling information is transmitted on an independent PDCCH.

One PDCCH is transmitted in the form of a control-channel element (CCE), which may also be referred to as a time-frequency resource of one PDCCH including 1 or 2 CCEs. Wherein one CCE consists of 6 consecutive subcarriers over one subframe.

4) The PDCCH candidate (PDCCH candidate), where the terminal device needs to perform blind detection on the configured aggregation level and the PDCCH candidate corresponding to the aggregation level to acquire the downlink control information. The network device may configure the aggregation level set. For example, an aggregation level set {1, 2} may be configured, a group of CCEs with a corresponding number corresponds to one PDCCH candidate, the network device may send one PDCCH through one PDCCH candidate, and correspondingly, the terminal device performs blind detection on PDCCHs with aggregation levels 1 and 2, respectively, to determine whether there is a PDCCH addressed to the terminal device.

5) A PDCCH search space (PDCCH search space set), a candidate PDCCH set that the terminal device needs to monitor is referred to as a PDCCH search space. The candidate PDCCH set corresponding to a certain aggregation level may be referred to as a PDCCH search space under the aggregation level. One PDCCH search space is configured with parameters such as a control resource set associated with the PDCCH search space, a PDCCH monitoring period, an aggregation level and the number of candidate PDCCHs corresponding to the aggregation level.

The PDCCH search space is divided into a common search space (CSS set) and a UE-specific PDCCH search space (UE-specific search space set). The CSS set is used to transmit control information related to paging (paging), random access Response (RA Response), and Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH), and the control information is mainly common information at a cell level, which is the same for all UEs. The USS set is used to transmit control information related to a downlink shared channel (DL-SCH), an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH), and the like, and the control information is mainly information at the UE level.

Terminal equipment in an NB-IoT system needs to monitor a NPDCCH candidate set called NPDCCH Search Space (SS) to acquire DCI, and resources of the search space are periodically distributed. The network device may indicate, to the terminal device, a period of a search space (that is, a length of the period of the search space in a time domain) and a starting position of the search space in each period through a system message or Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, and the terminal device blindly detects the NPDCCH in the search space according to the indication of the network device.

6) For a terminal device in an idle state, when a network device needs to send service data to the terminal device or the network device needs to report the service data to the terminal device, the network device may notify the terminal device in a paging manner, that is, the terminal device is instructed to switch from the idle state to a connected state through a paging message. After receiving the paging message, the terminal device may enter a connected state under the instruction of the paging message, so as to send or receive service data.

In general, the terminal device in idle state will wake up periodically to listen for paging message, and see if there is any paging message indicating to enter connected state. As shown in fig. 1A, a period in which the terminal device wakes up is referred to as a DRX period. The DRX cycle may be notified to the terminal device by the network device through a system message. The position where the terminal wakes up is called Paging Opportunity (PO). The terminal device may monitor the PDCCH at the PO to monitor for paging messages.

The PO indicates the starting position where the terminal device monitors the PDCCH, and the terminal device may determine a PDCCH search space (search space) according to the PO and detect the PDCCH in the PDCCH search space in a blind detection manner.

If the terminal device detects the PDCCH, the terminal device may receive a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) according to the detected indication information carried on the PDCCH, where the PDSCH carries a paging message.

7) Wake-up signal (WUS), the probability of paging a UE is generally low in some wireless communication networks, such as IoT systems. This may cause most POs to be empty, i.e., the network device does not send the corresponding PDCCH at the PO. However, the terminal still needs to monitor the PDCCH at each PO, because the terminal only knows whether the network device sends the PDCCH after the blind detection is completed. This wastes the power consumption of the terminal. In order to save the power consumption of the terminal, a wake-up signal is introduced; the network device indicates through the WUS whether the terminal needs to wake up at the PO to detect the PDCCH.

If the PDCCH needs to be sent on the PO, for example, the network device sends the WUS before the PO when the network device needs to page the terminal device or the system message is changed; if no PDCCH needs to be transmitted on the PO, the network device will not transmit WUS before the PO.

For the terminal equipment, detecting a wake-up signal before PO, and if WUS is detected, detecting a subsequent PDCCH; if no WUS is detected, the subsequent PDCCH is not detected.

It should be noted that, the wake-up signal transmitted by the network device is usually in the form of a sequence, and thus the wake-up signal may also be referred to as a wake-up signal sequence.

8) In the description of the present application, the terms "first," "second," "third," and the like are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, nor order, and the terms "system" and "network" may be used interchangeably in embodiments of the present invention. "plurality" means two or more.

"and/or" describes the association relationship of the associated objects, meaning that there may be three relationships, e.g., a and/or B, which may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character "/" generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship, unless otherwise specified.

The manner in which the network device generates WUS and the terminal device detects WUS will be described below, taking WUS introduced in the NB-IoT system as an example.

Before this, two parameters are described, namely, the number of sub-frames (WUS maximum duration) L corresponding to the maximum duration of the WUS sequence and the number of sub-frames (WUS actual duration) M corresponding to the actual duration of the WUS sequence, respectively, and the relationship between L and M is M ≦ L.

Usually, L is configured by a network device, and the network device may notify the terminal device through a system message, that is, the terminal device may know L but may not know M; for a terminal device, there are many cases of the number of subframes corresponding to the actual duration of a WUS sequence, and the possible value sets of M corresponding to different L are shown in table 1

TABLE 1

L	Set of possible values of M
		1	{1}
2	{1，2}
		4	{1，2，4}
8	{1，2，4，8}
		16	{1，2，4，8，16}
32	{1，2，4，8，16，32}
		64	{1，2，4，8，16，32，64}
128	{1，2，4，8，16，32，64，128}
		256	{1，2，4，8，16，32，64，128，256}
512	{1，2，4，8，16，32，64，128，256，512}
		1024	{1，2，4，8，16，32，64，128，256，512，1024}

For example, if L is 1, then M is 1, and if L is 8, then M may take on values of 1, 2, 4, and 8. In this embodiment, the terminal device determines a subframe number K corresponding to the candidate duration of the wake-up signal sequence, where a value of K is M possible values corresponding to L.

Generation of WUS.

The NB-IoT system has 3 deployment modes: in-band deployment (IB), guard band deployment (GB), and independent deployment (SA); the position of the WUS mapping is different in different deployment modes.

In the IB deployment mode, the last 11 OFDM symbols of each subframe may be used to transmit WUS, each OFDM symbol includes 12 REs, and a total of 132 REs may be used to transmit WUS; in both the GB and SA deployment modes, all OFDM symbols (i.e., 14 OFDM symbols) of each subframe are available for transmitting WUS. As shown in fig. 1B, a schematic diagram of the WUS sequence is generated for the IB deployment mode.

The WUS sequence is generated based on a ZC sequence and a Gold sequence, and the WUS sequence mapped on any subframe is generated based on the first sequence of the ZC sequence and the Gold sequence because the number of subframes corresponding to the actual duration of the WUS sequence is M.

The ZC sequences adopted by the WUS sequences mapped to any subframe are the same, the length of the ZC sequence initially generated is 131, and then the ZC sequence is a complex sequence having a length of 132 after cyclic shift length extension to 132.

For the Gold sequence, the WUS sequence mapped on any subframe needs to adopt different parts of the Gold sequence; when generating the Gold sequence, the seed is initialized only once at the WUS start position (the first subframe of the WUS map), and the Gold sequence with the length corresponding to M subframes, that is, the length of 2 × 132 × M is generated, and the Gold sequence is a sequence composed of 0 and 1. The WUS sequence mapped on each subframe is generated based on a first sequence with the length of 264 intercepted from a Gold sequence, different subframes correspond to different first sequences, and then modulation is carried out, wherein the modulation means that 2 bits are modulated into 1 complex number, for example, 00, 01, 10 and 11 can be modulated into +1, -1, + j and j respectively; the first sequence after modulation is 132 a in length.

For any subframe, generating a WUS sequence mapped on the subframe according to a ZC sequence and a first sequence after modulation corresponding to the subframe, for example, performing sequence dot multiplication on the ZC sequence and the first sequence to generate the WUS sequence with the length of 132 mapped on the subframe; the sequence is mapped to the last 11 OFDM symbols of the subframe.

As shown in fig. 1C, in the GB deployment mode and the SA deployment mode, for any subframe, the WUS sequence mapped on the last 11 OFDM symbols may be generated according to the WUS sequence generation manner in the IB deployment mode, and then the WU sequences mapped on the 7 th, 8 th, and 9 th OFDM symbols may be copied to the first 3 OFDM symbols of the subframe.

Currently, there are two ways for a network device to send a WUS to a terminal device:

first, terminal devices corresponding to the same PO are not grouped, and WUS for each terminal device is the same.

For example, the POs of 100 terminal devices (numbered 0-99) is the same PO, and if the network device needs to wake up the terminal device numbered 0, the network device sends a WUS before the PO; and the 100 terminal devices will detect WUS before PO. If all 100 terminal devices detect WUS, all 100 terminal devices will wake up. However, in fact, the terminal devices numbered 1 to 99 do not need to be woken up, so that the 99 terminal devices do not need to be woken up, and thus a "false alarm" occurs, so that the 99 terminal devices generate redundant power consumption.

In order to reduce the power consumption of the terminal device, a second WUS transmission scheme is proposed.

And the second type is to group the terminal devices, and each group of terminal devices corresponds to a specific WUS.

Assuming that 100 terminal devices (numbered as UE 0 to 99) belong to the same PO, the 100 terminal devices can be divided into 4 groups, for example, UE 0 to 24 belong to group 0, UE 25 to 49 belong to group 1, UE 50 to 74 belong to group 2, and UE 75 to 99 belong to group 3.

There may be 4 group-specific WUSs introduced, each group corresponding to one of the specific WUSs, e.g., group n corresponding to WUS # n.

If the network device needs to wake up UE 0, the network device may send a wake-up signal #0 corresponding to group 0 before PO;

for 25 terminal devices in group 0, if the terminal devices detect the wake-up signal #0, the terminal devices are woken up; for 75 UEs in groups 1, 2, and 3, since these terminal devices only detect the wake-up signal corresponding to the group to which the terminal devices belong, the terminal devices will not detect the wake-up signal #0 corresponding to the group 0, and thus will not be woken up.

It should be noted that a public WUS (common WUS) may be provided to wake up all terminal devices, and any terminal device that detects a public WUS on the PO may be woken up.

In the case of grouping terminal devices, the total number of groups is G, and in the process of generating WUS unique to each group, the length of the Gold sequence used is 264 × G × M, and different groups intercept different segments of the Gold sequence, with the intercepted length being 264 × M. As shown in fig. 1D, different segments of the Gold sequence need to be cut during generation of WUS specific to different groups, and in fig. 1D, the segments are cut in order according to the number of the groups, for example, a segment 1 cuts a sequence with a length of 264 × M in the Gold sequence, and a segment 2 cuts a sequence with a length of 264 × M in the Gold sequence.

It should be noted that the truncation shown in fig. 1D is only an example, and in a specific implementation, other preset order truncation may be adopted, but the length of truncation and the Gold sequence are not changed.

And secondly, detecting the WUS by the terminal equipment.

Because the terminal device cannot know M, the terminal device needs to perform blind detection when detecting the WUS, that is, possible values of M are detected respectively until the detection is successful.

Taking L as 128 as an example, the set of possible values for M is {1, 2, 4.

The terminal device may assume that M is 1, generate a corresponding local sequence in the same manner as the network device side, perform sequence detection on the received WUS sequence based on the corresponding local sequence, specifically, generate a correlation value according to the corresponding local sequence and the WUS sequence, and determine whether the correlation value exceeds a threshold.

If the correlation value exceeds a threshold value, the WUS sequence is detected, and the detection of the WUS sequence can be stopped; if the correlation value does not exceed the threshold, the terminal device needs to blindly detect the next M value.

When the terminal device assumes that M is 1, the correlation value generated at the time of sequence detection does not exceed the threshold; the terminal device may detect the next possible M value, for example, the terminal device may assume that M is 2, generate a corresponding local sequence in the same manner as on the network device side, perform sequence detection on the received WUS sequence based on the corresponding local sequence, and repeat the sequence detection process when M is 1.

The possible value sequence of the blind detection M of the terminal device may be in the order from small M to large M, or may be in other ways, and is not limited.

When the terminal device generates a local sequence, the manner adopted is the same as the manner of generating the WUS by the network device, taking the group to which the terminal device belongs as a group 2 as an example, that is, the second manner of sending the WUS by the corresponding network device, when sequence detection is performed on one possible value M, the terminal device generates a Gold sequence with the length of 264G M, then intercepts the corresponding sequence with the length of 264M in the Gold sequence of the group to which the terminal device belongs, if the manner intercepted by the network device is shown in fig. 1D, the terminal device also correspondingly intercepts the sequence with the length of 264M in the Gold sequence, then generates a local sequence specific to the group 2, and performs sequence detection on the received wake-up signal.

Obviously, since the terminal device needs to perform blind detection, if a possible value of M is taken, a Gold sequence with a length of 264 × G × M is generated, different M generate different Gold sequences, and the part intercepted by the terminal device in the Gold sequence is also different, as shown in fig. 1E, when the terminal device performs blind detection on a wake-up signal, the position of the intercepted Gold sequence is shown, where a square represents a corresponding sequence with a length of 264 of the Gold sequence, for example, when M is 1, the nth square intercepted by the terminal device is shown, when M is 2, the terminal device intercepts the (n +1, n + 2) squares (n-1, n +1 squares are shown as the terminal devices in group 1); when M is different, the Gold sequences intercepted by the terminal equipment are not correlated, and further, the generated local sequences are different, namely, for one possible value of M, the terminal equipment needs to adopt the same process to carry out sequence detection, so that the complexity of blind detection is increased, and the power consumption is also increased.

As shown in fig. 2, a network architecture diagram provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a network device (taking a base station as an example) and a plurality of terminal devices (taking a UE as an example). The application scenario according to the embodiment of the present application may be applicable to an NB-IoT system, and may also be applicable to network architectures of other communication systems, for example, a Long Term Evolution LTE (LTE) system, a 5G NR system, a global system for mobile communications (GSM) system, a mobile communication system (UMTS), and a code division multiple access (code division multiple access, CDMA) system.

As shown in FIG. 2, the system includes a base station and 6 UEs, UE 1-UE 6. The UEs 1-6 may be terminal devices under the NB-IoT system, such as mobile phones, automobiles, televisions, smart appliances, printers, and the like.

The UEs 1 to 6 may all transmit uplink data to the base station, the base station may receive the uplink data from the UEs 1 to 6, and the base station may also transmit information (e.g., wake-up signal sequences according to the embodiments of the present application) to the UEs 1 to 6, and the UEs 1 to 6 may perform corresponding operations (e.g., sequence detection or wake-up) if receiving the information.

It should be noted that a plurality of UEs may also form one communication system, as shown in fig. 2, UEs 4 to 6 may form one communication system, UE4 and UE6 may transmit data to UE5, and UE5 may transmit wake-up signal sequences to UE4 and UE 6.

As shown in fig. 2, the network device and at least one terminal device may be configured to implement the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, and similarly, two terminal devices (e.g., UE5 and UE4) shown in fig. 2 may also be configured to implement the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, for convenience of description, in the embodiment of the present application, an example of interaction between the network device and the terminal device is used, and a manner of implementing the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application in a communication system formed by the terminal devices may be referred to in the embodiment of the present application, only one of the terminal devices needs to be regarded as a device that can implement the function of the network device in the embodiment of the present application, and the principle is similar, and details are not described.

In order to enable terminal devices to save power consumption when performing blind detection on a WUS, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for sending a wake-up signal, where in a process of generating a wake-up signal sequence, a GOLD sequence used by a first device has a length of 264 × L (N-1) +264 × M, N is a sequence index corresponding to a group to which the terminal device belongs, L is a number of subframes corresponding to a maximum duration of the wake-up signal sequence, M is a number of subframes corresponding to an actual duration of the wake-up signal sequence, L is an integer, M is a positive integer and less than or equal to L, N is a positive integer greater than 1, and correspondingly, when a second device generates a local sequence, the same manner is also used, the length of the GOLD sequence used is 264 × L (N-1) + 264K, and K is a possible value of M determined by the second device, that is a possible value corresponding to an actual duration of the wake-up signal sequence (which may also be referred to as a wake-up signal sequence) The number of subframes corresponding to the candidate duration), K is a positive integer and is less than or equal to L, so that when different K are taken, it can be seen that the adopted GOLD sequence always has the same part, and for the same part, the result of sequence detection already performed on the part before can be delayed, and sequence detection is performed only on different parts, so that power consumption can be effectively saved.

The technical features related to the embodiments of the present application are described above, and the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

An embodiment of the present application provides a method for sending a wake-up signal, please refer to fig. 3, which is a flowchart of the method. In the following description process, when the method is applied to the network architecture shown in fig. 2, the first device is a network device, and the second device is a terminal device, in implementation, in this embodiment of the present application, the first device and the second device may also be both terminal devices, and when the method is applied to a D2D scenario, the first device may send a wake-up signal sequence to the second device.

Step 301: the network device generates a wake-up signal sequence based on the ZC sequence and the GOLD sequence, wherein the length of the GOLD sequence is 264 × L (N-1) +264 × M, N is a sequence index corresponding to a group to which the terminal device belongs, L is a subframe number corresponding to the maximum duration of the wake-up signal sequence, M is a subframe number corresponding to the actual duration of the wake-up signal sequence, L is a positive integer, M is a positive integer and less than or equal to L, and N is a positive integer greater than 1.

Step 302: the network device sends the wake-up signal sequence to the terminal device, because the number of the sub-frames to which the wake-up signal sequence can be mapped is M, in actual transmission, because some sub-frames are already mapped with other messages, such as system messages, in order not to affect other messages on the sub-frames, the wake-up signal sequence may not be mapped on these sub-frames, that is, in the transmission process, the number of the sub-frames to which the wake-up signal sequence is mapped may be less than M.

Step 303: after the terminal device receives the wake-up signal sequence from the network device, the terminal device generates a local sequence based on the ZC sequence and the GOLD sequence, where the length of the GOLD sequence is 264 × L (N-1) +264 × K, K is a subframe number corresponding to a candidate duration of the wake-up signal sequence determined by the terminal device, K is any one of M possible values, and K is less than or equal to L.

Step 304: and the terminal equipment performs sequence detection on the wake-up signal sequence based on the local sequence.

Steps 301 to 302 are the process of generating and sending WUS by the network equipment side, and steps 303 to 304 are the process of generating a local sequence and carrying out sequence detection by the terminal equipment side.

The wake-up signal sequence may be used to wake up the terminal device, the terminal device that detects the wake-up signal sequence may wake up, and the wake-up signal sequence may also have other functions, for example, the terminal device may use the wake-up signal to implement downlink synchronization, cell acknowledgement, and the like.

It should be noted that, when the network device generates the wake-up signal sequence, the length of the GOLD sequence used is 264 × L (N-1) +264 × M, N is a sequence index corresponding to the group to which the terminal device belongs, and the setting manner of N is not limited in the embodiment of the present application, and N may be determined according to the sorting position of the group to which the terminal device belongs in a plurality of groups, or may be determined according to a preset rule.

For example, the network device may generate a reference GOLD sequence with a length of G × L × 264 in advance, the network device may intercept a GOLD sequence required for generating the wake-up signal sequence from the reference GOLD sequence, and N may characterize a sequence index of the group to which the terminal device belongs in the reference GOLD sequence.

As shown in fig. 4, a schematic diagram of GOLD sequences to be cut out from the reference GOLD sequence when WUS unique to different clusters are generated is shown in fig. 1E, where the cluster numbers are sequentially cut out, for example, a sequence having a length of 264 × M in the reference GOLD sequence is cut out from cluster 1, a sequence having a length of 264 × L +264 × M in the reference GOLD sequence is cut out from cluster 2 (N is 2), and a sequence having a length of 264 × L + 2+264 × M in the reference GOLD sequence is cut out from cluster 3 (N is 3). In this case, N is the same as the group number.

The above-described method of determining a Gold sequence by referring to a Gold sequence is merely an example, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the length of the Gold sequence and the position of the Gold sequence in the Gold sequence to be extracted, as long as the extracted length satisfies 264 × L (N-1) +264 × M.

N may be set to a value that is the same as the group number, or may be set to a value that has a correspondence relationship with a group index, where N needs to be determined before the network device generates the wake-up signal sequence based on the ZC sequence and the GOLD sequence, and in this case, the network device corresponds to a plurality of terminal devices, where any terminal device belongs to one or more groups, and for any group, the group has one group index, the group index corresponds to one sequence index, one group index may correspond to one sequence index, a plurality of group indexes may each correspond to one sequence index, and one group index may also correspond to a plurality of sequence indexes.

The network device may determine, according to the group index of the group to which the terminal device belongs, the sequence index N corresponding to the group to which the terminal device belongs, based on a correspondence between the group index and the sequence index of the group.

The group index to which the terminal device belongs is used to indicate a group to which the terminal device belongs, for example, the terminal device belongs to group 1, and the group index to which the terminal device belongs may be set to 1, or may be a value obtained by performing specific operation on 1; the number of the group indexes to which the terminal equipment belongs is not limited in the embodiment of the application, and the group indexes to which the terminal equipment belongs can be a plurality of because the terminal equipment can belong to a plurality of different groups at the same time; for example, the terminal devices belong to group 1 and group 2, and the group indexes of the groups to which the terminal devices belong may be two, such as set to 1 and 2. The embodiment of the application does not limit the setting mode of the group index, and all the numerical values which can indicate the group to which the terminal equipment belongs can be used as the group index.

The corresponding relationship between the group index g and the sequence index N of the group may be preset, for example, N ═ g +2, and the group index may be a natural number, where the value of N is a positive integer greater than 1.

When N is 1, the generated WUS sequence is a WUS sequence under the R15 standard, and a terminal device under the R15 standard can detect the WUS sequence, but N may be defined as not 1 under the R16 standard, and thus a terminal device under the R16 standard does not detect the WUS sequence, and thus the WUS sequences under the R15 standard and the R16 standard can be distinguished. N can also be 2, when N is 2, the generated WUS sequence can be a public WUS and is used for awakening all terminal devices in the group; generally, when all terminal devices need to detect a common WUS and N is 2, the length of the adopted Gold sequence is short, so that power consumption can be effectively saved.

In the embodiments of the present application, the number of sequence indexes corresponding to a group to which a terminal device belongs is not limited, and for example, in the case where detection of a public WUS is required, the sequence indexes corresponding to the group to which the terminal device belongs may include a sequence index required for generating the public WUS and a sequence index required for generating a WUS unique to the group to which the terminal device belongs. Taking N + g +2 as an example, the sequence indexes corresponding to the group 2 are 1 and 3, where 1 is a sequence index required to generate a common WUS and 3 is a sequence index required to generate a group-specific WUS to which the terminal device belongs.

When the network device generates the wake-up signal sequence based on the ZC sequence and the GOLD sequence, two ways may be adopted, which are described below:

firstly, the network device intercepts a target sequence from a GOLD sequence, and then generates the wake-up signal sequence based on a ZC sequence and the target sequence.

The network device may intercept the target sequence from the GOLD sequence by a length of M × 264, and may form the target sequence from the 264 × L (N-1) +1 bit to the 264 × L (N-1) +264 × M bit in the GOLD sequence.

It should be noted that, the positions of the elements in the GOLD sequence are ordered from 1, that is, the first bit of the GOLD sequence is the first bit.

When N is 2, the network device may configure bits 264 × L +1 to 264 × L +264 × M in the GOLD sequence as a target sequence; when N is 3, the network device may configure bits 264 × L × 2+1 to 264 × L × 2+264 × M in the GOLD sequence as the target sequence.

After the target sequence is intercepted, since the GOLD sequence is a sequence formed by 0 and 1, and the ZC sequence is a complex sequence, in order to realize the sequence dot product, the network device may convert the target sequence into the complex sequence, for example, two adjacent elements in the target sequence may be converted into one complex number, or may convert into the complex sequence in another manner, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

And then, generating a wake-up signal sequence according to the ZC sequence and the complex sequence converted from the target sequence, specifically, performing sequence dot multiplication on the ZC sequence and the complex sequence converted from the target sequence to generate the wake-up signal sequence.

Besides ZC sequence and GOLD sequence, other sequences may be introduced in the generation of wake-up signal sequence, for example, the wake-up signal sequence may be generated based on ZC sequence, GOLD sequence and the first sequence, and the number and form of the first sequence are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

For example, when the network device generates the wake-up signal sequence, the wake-up signal sequence may satisfy a certain formula:

wherein, w _N (m) is a wake-up signal sequence, w _N (M) may be considered as a sequence of wake-up signals mapped on one of the subframes, x 0, 1.., M-1, M0, 1.., 131,

for ZC sequences, m' ═ m +132x,

wherein

For cell identification, n-m mod132,

is a sequence of a GOLD sequence,

for the intercepted target sequence in the GOLD sequence, N is the sequence index corresponding to the group to which the second device belongs, N _f For the first frame of the first paging opportunity PO corresponding to the wake-up signal sequenceFrame number, n _s Is the time slot number of the first time slot where the first PO corresponding to the wake-up signal sequence is located.

And secondly, the network equipment generates a candidate wake-up signal sequence based on the ZC sequence and the GOLD sequence, and then intercepts the wake-up signal sequence from the candidate wake-up signal sequence.

Since the GOLD sequence is a sequence formed by 0 and 1, the ZC sequence is a complex sequence, and in order to realize sequence multiplication, the network device may convert the GOLD sequence into the complex sequence, and then generate a candidate wake-up signal sequence according to the ZC sequence and the complex sequence converted from the GOLD sequence, specifically, perform sequence multiplication on the ZC sequence and the complex sequence converted from the target sequence to generate a candidate wake-up signal sequence, where the length of the candidate wake-up signal sequence is 132L (N-1) + 132M.

For example, the candidate wake-up signal sequence may satisfy a formula similar to that in the first embodiment, which is not described herein again, but is different therefrom

Should be 264 x L (N-1) +264 x M in length.

In the process of generating the candidate wake-up signal sequence, in addition to the ZC sequence and the GOLD sequence, other sequences may be introduced, for example, the candidate wake-up signal sequence may be generated based on the ZC sequence, the GOLD sequence and the second sequence, and the number and the form of the second sequence are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

The network device intercepts the 132 × L (N-1) +1 bits to 132 × L (N-1) +132 × M bits of the candidate wake-up signal sequence as a wake-up signal sequence.

After the network device generates the wake-up signal sequence, the network device sends the wake-up signal sequence to the terminal device, and the terminal device needs to detect the wake-up signal sequence, and the following describes a manner for the terminal device to detect the wake-up signal sequence:

when the terminal device generates the local sequence, the length of the GOLD sequence used is 264 × L (N-1) +264 × K, where N is a sequence index corresponding to the group to which the terminal device belongs.

The setting manner of N may refer to the foregoing description, and details are not described here, and the manner in which the terminal device determines N and obtains the GOLD sequence is the same as the manner in which the network device determines N and obtains the GOLD sequence, which is only different in execution main body, and details are not described here.

It should be noted that, because the terminal device cannot know the value of M, the terminal device needs to generate a local sequence based on some possible values of M when performing WUS detection, where K represents any value in the set of possible values of M corresponding to L.

Similar to the network device side, when the terminal device generates the local sequence based on the ZC sequence and the GOLD sequence, two ways may be adopted, which are introduced below:

in the first mode, the terminal device firstly intercepts a target sequence from a GOLD sequence, and then generates the local sequence based on a ZC sequence and the target sequence.

The terminal device cuts the target sequence from the GOLD sequence with the length K × 264, and can make the target sequence from the 264 × L (N-1) +1 th site to the 264 × L (N-1) +264 × K site in the GOLD sequence.

It should be noted that, the positions of the elements in the GOLD sequence are ordered from 1, that is, the first bit of the GOLD sequence is the first bit.

When N is 2, the terminal device may form a target sequence from bit 264 × L +1 to bit 264 × L +264 × K in the GOLD sequence; when N is 3, the terminal device may configure bits 264 × L × 2+1 to 264 × L × 2+264 × K in the GOLD sequence as the target sequence.

After the target sequence is intercepted, because the GOLD sequence is a sequence formed by 0 and 1, the ZC sequence is a complex sequence, in order to realize sequence multiplication, the terminal device may convert the target sequence into the complex sequence, and then generate a local sequence according to the ZC sequence and the complex sequence converted from the target sequence, specifically, perform sequence multiplication on the ZC sequence and the complex sequence converted from the target sequence to generate the local sequence.

In addition to the ZC sequence and GOLD sequence, other sequences may be introduced in the generation of the local sequence, for example, the local sequence may be generated based on the ZC sequence, GOLD sequence and the first sequence, and the number and form of the first sequence are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

For example, when the terminal device generates the local sequence, the local sequence may satisfy a certain formula:

wherein, w _N (m) is a native sequence, x-0, 1, K-1, m-0, 1, 131,

for ZC sequences, m' ═ m +132x,

wherein

Is a cell identity, the cell is the cell where the terminal device is located, n is m mod132,

is a sequence of a GOLD sequence,

for the intercepted target sequence in the GOLD sequence, N is the sequence index corresponding to the group to which the second device belongs, N _f The frame number n of the first frame where the first paging opportunity PO corresponding to the wake-up signal sequence is located _s Is the time slot number of the first time slot where the first PO corresponding to the wake-up signal sequence is located.

And secondly, the terminal equipment generates a candidate sequence based on the ZC sequence and the GOLD sequence, and then intercepts a local sequence from the candidate sequence.

Since the GOLD sequence is a sequence formed by 0 and 1, the ZC sequence is a complex sequence, and in order to realize sequence multiplication, the terminal device may convert the GOLD sequence into the complex sequence, and then generate a candidate sequence based on the ZC sequence and the complex sequence converted from the GOLD sequence, and specifically, perform sequence multiplication on the ZC sequence and the complex sequence converted from the target sequence to generate the candidate sequence, where the length of the candidate sequence is 132 × L (N-1) +132 × K.

For example, the candidate sequence may satisfy the formula similar to the formula in the first mode, which is not described herein again, but the difference is

Should be 264 × L (N-1) +264 × M in length.

In addition to the ZC sequence and GOLD sequence, other sequences may be introduced to generate the candidate sequence, for example, the candidate sequence may be generated based on the ZC sequence, GOLD sequence and the second sequence, and the number and form of the second sequence are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

And the terminal device intercepts the 132X L (N-1) +1 bit to the 132X L (N-1) +132X K bit of the candidate sequence as a local sequence.

When the terminal equipment detects the sequence, the correlation value of the local sequence and the wake-up signal sequence can be determined, and the detection is determined to be successful under the condition that the correlation value exceeds a threshold value; the detection success indicates that the terminal device determines that the wake-up signal sequence is detected or the terminal device determines that the network device sends the wake-up signal sequence, and then the terminal device can enter a wake-up state.

If the correlation value does not exceed the threshold value, the detection is failed, and the terminal device can adopt another K to generate a local sequence and continue to perform sequence detection.

By adopting the manner of the embodiment of the present application, it can be seen that when the terminal device generates the local sequence, the same portion may exist between the used GOLD sequences under different K values, as shown in fig. 5, when the local sequence is generated for the terminal device, the position of the truncated target sequence in the reference GOLD sequence is represented by one square, where the length of the corresponding reference GOLD sequence is 264, for example, when K is 1, the terminal device truncates the nth square as the target sequence, and when K is 2, the terminal device truncates the nth and n +1 squares.

When K is different, the correlation exists between the target sequences intercepted by the terminal equipment, when the sequence detection is carried out, the result of the sequence detection with K being 2 can utilize the result of the sequence detection with K being 1, and only the sequence detection is carried out based on the sequence represented by the (n + 1) th square, so that the power consumption of the terminal equipment can be reduced.

Based on the same inventive concept as the method embodiment, an embodiment of the present application further provides a communication apparatus, configured to execute the method performed by the network device (or the first device) in the foregoing method embodiment, where relevant features may refer to the foregoing method embodiment, and are not described again here, and as shown in fig. 6, the apparatus includes a processing unit 601 and a sending unit 602:

a processing unit 601, configured to generate a wake-up signal sequence based on the ZC sequence and the GOLD sequence, where the length of the GOLD sequence is 264 × L (N-1) +264 × M, N is a sequence index corresponding to a group to which the second device belongs, L is a subframe number corresponding to a maximum duration of the wake-up signal sequence, L is a positive integer, M is a subframe number corresponding to an actual duration of the wake-up signal sequence, M is a positive integer and is less than or equal to L, and N is a positive integer greater than 1;
