Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is one of flowcharts of an information determining method according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 2, the information determining method includes the following steps:

step 101, receiving a target signal by a receiving end;

step 102, the receiving end determines the time information of the wake-up signal according to the beacon signal.

In one embodiment, the receiving end determines the time information of the wake-up signal according to the beacon signal, and may include at least one of the following:

determining time information of the wake-up signal through configuration information of the beacon signal;

and determining the time information of the wake-up signal through the indication information carried by the beacon signal.

In one embodiment, the beacon signal may be used to implicitly indicate relative time information of the wake-up signal.

In one embodiment, the receiving end may periodically receive the beacon signal.

In one embodiment, the beacon signal may be a low power beacon signal.

In one embodiment, the beacon signal may be used to indicate at least one of:

The length of the beacon period;

a start position of a beacon period;

the number of beacon signals contained in the beacon period;

time offset within the beacon period;

the length of the beacon signal;

time intervals of adjacent beacon signals within a beacon period;

identification of beacon signals within a beacon period;

identification of a beacon period;

global identification of beacon signals;

period information of the wake-up signal;

duration information of the wake-up signal;

and first offset information for indicating an offset of the wake-up signal with respect to a start position of the reference beacon period.

For example, the beacon signal may indicate an identification of a beacon period, and as a simple example, the detection of the wake-up signal may begin upon detecting the identification of the beacon period as a first preset value; alternatively, the beacon signal may indicate an identity of the beacon signal within the beacon period, and as a simple example, the wake-up signal may be detected upon detecting that the identity of the beacon signal within the beacon period is a second preset value; alternatively, the beacon signal may indicate an identification of a beacon period and an identification of a beacon signal within the beacon period, and as a simple example, the wake-up signal may be detected when the identification of the beacon period is detected as a first preset value and the identification of the beacon signal within the beacon period is detected as a second preset value; or the beacon signal can indicate the identification of the beacon period and the identification of the beacon signal in the beacon period, the starting time position of each beacon signal in each beacon period can be determined according to the identification of the beacon period and the identification of the beacon signal in the beacon period, and the time for detecting the wake-up signal is determined according to the starting time position of a certain beacon signal in a certain beacon period; etc., the present embodiment is not limited thereto.

The beacon signal is a signal that is periodically transmitted to transmit time information. The periodic beacon signal is adopted to transmit time information, so that the low-power consumption wake-up receiver can be kept, namely, the receiving end and the transmitting end are synchronous. In the related art, 12 bits of information [5:16] in 64 bits of a timing synchronization function (Timer Synchronization Function, TSF) clock (timer) of a transmitting end can be carried in a beacon signal, and after a receiving end receives the 12 bits of information, the receiving end updates a local TSF timer according to a defined time updating criterion, so that the aim of synchronizing with the transmitting end is fulfilled. The beacon signal (beacon) is sent to carry the TSF information of the sending end, and the receiving end updates the local TSF time according to the received TSF information, so that the TSF time of the receiving end is consistent with that of the sending end, but the mode of sending the TSF information carried by the beacon requires more signaling overhead and larger decoding power consumption of the receiving end, which is unfavorable for the actual deployment of large-scale machine communication in 5G.

In the embodiment of the application, the receiving end can be a terminal, the terminal comprises a first module and a second module, the first module is a main communication module and is used for receiving communication data transmitted by the transmitting end and transmitting the communication data, the second module is a low-power consumption module, the second module can be used for receiving a wake-up signal (also can be called as a low-power consumption wake-up signal) transmitted by the transmitting end, and the wake-up signal is used for waking up the main communication module of the receiving end. As shown in fig. 3, when the first module is not woken up by the second module, the first module is always in a closed state, no data is transmitted and received, when downlink data arrives, the second module detects a wake-up signal transmitted by the transmitting end, and the wake-up signal includes the terminal information, and then the second module triggers the first module to switch from the closed state to the working state for data receiving and transmitting. The second module may be continuously on or discontinuously on, and may receive a low power wake-up signal and a beacon signal (which may also be referred to as a low power beacon signal) when the second module is on.

For example, the terminal may include an LP-WUR receiver, through which the terminal can turn off or sleep the main communication module under certain conditions, and turn on the main communication module after receiving a low power wake-up signal (low power wake up signal, LP-WUS) by using the LP-WUR receiver, thereby effectively reducing power consumption of the terminal. To further reduce the power consumption of the LP-WUR receiver, a discontinuous reception approach may be employed. In the discontinuous reception mode, the DRX parameters of the LP-WUR receiver include a period length of discontinuous reception, a start position, and a reception time length, and the discontinuous reception (Discontinuous Reception, DRX) parameters of the wake-up signal may be determined based on the beacon signal periodically transmitted by the transmitting end.

In addition, the DRX parameter of the wake-up signal may be configured correspondingly according to main communication link (main radio) information on the network side, or may be determined according to a beacon signal periodically transmitted to achieve synchronization.

Taking a receiving end as a User Equipment (UE) as an example, one DRX cycle is shown in fig. 4. The DRX cycle (cycle) consists of "Duration (On Duration)" and "DRX off: during the "On Duration" time, the UE listens to the target channel/signal, e.g., to the LP-WUS; during the "DRX off" time, the UE does not monitor the target channel/signal to save power consumption.

In LP-WUR, the beacon signal is also a low-power transmission signal, and may have multiple structural formats, and may carry multiple configuration information in multiple manners. The configuration information may include a cycle length, a start position of the cycle and a cycle number of the current cycle, and provides possible configuration references for the cycle configuration information of the DRX. Thus, by a certain reference or determination, DRX is able to determine at least the time starting position of the wake-up signal from the beacon signal of the LP-WUR.

In addition, the second target information may be any one of the following:

the length of the beacon period;

a start position of a beacon period;

the number of beacon signals contained in the beacon period;

Time offset within the beacon period;

the length of the beacon signal;

identification of beacon signals within a beacon period;

identification of a beacon period;

global identification of beacon signals;

period information of the wake-up signal;

It should be noted that, when the beacon signal and the first target information both include the second target information, the receiving end determines time information of the wake-up signal according to the second target information in the beacon signal; or the receiving end determines the time information of the wake-up signal according to the second target information in the first target information. So that the receiving end can follow the configuration or indication of the beacon signal in case the first target information and the beacon signal simultaneously configure or indicate the same information; alternatively, the receiving end may follow the configuration or indication of the first target information.

Optionally, the receiving end does not expect that the beacon signal and the first target information both include third target information, where the third target information is used to determine time information of the wake-up signal.

The third target information may be any one of the following:

The length of the beacon period;

identification of beacon signals within a beacon period;

identification of a beacon period;

global identification of beacon signals;

period information of the wake-up signal;

first offset information.

In this embodiment, the receiving end does not expect that the beacon signal and the first target information both include the third target information, so that it can be avoided that the receiving end does not determine an object following the configuration or indication because the beacon signal and the first target information configure or indicate the same information at the same time.

Example 1:

as shown in fig. 5, the time start position of the first beacon period is defined, that is, the start position of the beacon period is S, the length of the beacon period is P, the number of beacon signals included in each beacon period is M, the length of each beacon signal is L, the time interval of adjacent beacon signals in one beacon period is defined, that is, the time interval of adjacent beacon signals in the beacon period is G, and the time start position of the first beacon signal in each beacon period is offset from the time start position of the beacon period in which the first beacon signal is located, that is, the time offset in the beacon period is Δs, and the time offset Δs may be 0.

The time start position of the nth beacon period is (N-1) ·p+s, and the time start position of the nth beacon signal in the nth beacon period is: (N-1). P+S+ΔS+ (N-1) · (L+G).

In one embodiment, the procedure of determining WUR DRX start location information according to the start location S of the beacon period may be as follows:

as shown in fig. 6, given or determinable the absolute time start position S of the beacon signal, i.e., the start position S of the beacon period, the receiving end may determine the time of the current reception detection point according to the start position S of the beacon period, the period length of the beacon period, and the identity of the beacon signal in the beacon period. And, the absolute start position of the DRX cycle of the wake-up signal can be directly obtained from the identity T of the reference beacon cycle and the offset relative to T, i.e., the first offset information Δx, and the start position S of the beacon cycle. In fig. 6, the reference period T is 1.

The time start position of the first DRX cycle is: s is S _d ＝S+(T-1)·P+ΔX，

The time start position of the mth DRX cycle is: s is S _d ＝S+(T-1)·P+ΔX+(m-1)·P _D ，

Wherein P is _D P is the length of the beacon period, which is the period length of DRX of the wake-up signal.

In another embodiment, the process of determining the DRX start position information of the wake-up signal according to the offset information may be as follows:

As shown in fig. 7, in the case that the starting position S of the beacon period is not set, the receiving end cannot determine the current accurate time domain time, and can only determine the identifier of the beacon period and the identifier of the beacon signal in the beacon period according to the beacon signal, and the receiving end can determine how long to reach the wake-up signal DRX cycle by using the offset information, so as to determine the starting position of the wake-up signal DRX. Since the offset information is a reference with a certain beacon period T as a starting point, and the offset of the certain beacon period T with respect to the current reception detection point can be calculated by the time information of the beacon signal, the offset between the reception detection point and the DRX cycle starting position can be calculated.

It should be noted that, the specific calculation manner is different according to the information indicated by the beacon signal, and under the condition that the identifier of the beacon period and the identifier of the beacon signal in the beacon period are given, the offset of the starting position of the first DRX period relative to the current receiving detection point can be calculated more simply as follows:

ΔS _d ＝ΔX-((N-T)·P+ΔS+(n-1)·(L+G))，

the offset of the start position of the first DRX cycle with respect to the current reception detection point may be the first offset information Δx minus the second offset information, where the second offset information is offset information of the start position information of the reference beacon cycle with respect to the detected beacon signal, and the second offset information is: (N-T). P+ΔS+ (N-1) · (L+G). In fig. 7, the reference period T is N.

It should be noted that, the first offset information may be a difference between a time start position of the wake-up signal and a time start position of the reference beacon period, and the second offset information may be a difference between a receiving detection point and a time start position of the reference beacon period, so that the difference between the time start position of the wake-up signal and the receiving detection point is equal to the difference between the first offset information and the second offset information.

The offset of the start position of the mth DRX cycle with respect to the current reception detection point may be calculated as follows:

ΔS _d ＝ΔX-((N-T)·P+ΔS+(n-1)·(L+G))+(m-1)·P _D ；

wherein DeltaX is first offset information, N is the identification of the beacon period in which the detected beacon signal is located, T is the identification of the reference beacon period, P is the length of the beacon period, deltaS is the time offset in the beacon period, N is the identification of the detected beacon signal, L is the length of the beacon signal, G is the time interval of adjacent beacon signals in the beacon period, P _D For the period length of the wake-up signal, m is a positive integer.

And after the global identification of the beacon signals is given and the number of the beacon signals contained in each beacon period is given, the identification of the beacon period and the identification of the beacon signals in the beacon period need to be independently operated once, and the identification of the beacon period and the identification of the beacon signals in the beacon period are converted.

The offset of the starting position of the first DRX cycle with respect to the current reception detection point may be calculated as follows:

ΔS _d ＝ΔX-((floor(n _N /M)-T)·P+ΔS+((n _N modM)-1)·(L+G))，

ΔS _d ＝ΔX-((floor(n _N /M)-T)·P+ΔS+((n _N modM)-1)·(L+G))+(m-1)·P _D ，

wherein DeltaX is first offset information, n _N For global identification of beacon signals, M is the number of beacon signals contained in a beacon period, T is the identification of a reference beacon period, P is the length of the beacon period, ΔS is the time offset in the beacon period, and L isThe length of the beacon signal, G is the time interval of adjacent beacon signals in the beacon period, P _D For the period length of the wake-up signal, m is a positive integer.
