It may be understood that, the communication system described in the embodiments of the present disclosure is for more clearly describing the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and is not limited to the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and those skilled in the art may know that, with the evolution of the system architecture and the appearance of new service scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure are applicable to similar technical problems.

The embodiments of the present disclosure described below may be applied to the communication system 100 shown in fig. 1, or a part of the main body, but are not limited thereto. The respective bodies shown in fig. 1 are examples, and the communication system may include all or part of the bodies in fig. 1, or may include other bodies than fig. 1, and the number and form of the respective bodies are arbitrary, and the connection relationship between the respective bodies is examples, and the respective bodies may be not connected or may be connected, and the connection may be arbitrary, direct connection or indirect connection, or wired connection or wireless connection.

In some embodiments, for the connection state, a power saving signal (WUS) or DCP (DCI for powersaving) is introduced, DCI is an abbreviation for downlink control information (Downlink Control Information); the WUS signal is a low-power consumption detection signal. If the UE detects WUS signal, it means that it needs to monitor the physical downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH), but if WUS is not detected, it skips the monitoring of (skip) PDCCH.

In some embodiments, in a discontinuous reception (Discontinuous Reception, DRX) scenario for idle state, a power saving signal, such as a Paging advance indication (Paging Early Indicator, PEI), is typically configured before a Paging Occasion (PO), and if the UE does not detect the power saving signal, it needs to skip Paging (DCI), otherwise it needs to monitor the Paging DCI. Further enhancements are made to the connection state, a PDCCH skip (PDCCH skip) mechanism is introduced, i.e. the PDCCH skips the listening that would be carried in the DCI informing the user to skip a period of time or to switch the search space group.

In some embodiments, a Modem (Modem) of the terminal is required to detect the power saving signal regardless of the power saving signal. In some embodiments, a separate transceiver (i.e., a low power wake-up receiver) is introduced to receive the power saving signal, and the Modem portion or Main Radio (MR) portion of the terminal is only awakened after the separate transceiver is awakened, otherwise the Modem portion will remain in sleep (sleep) or in deep sleep.

In some embodiments, for Idle (Idle) mode or Inactive (Inactive) mode, RRM measurements of serving cells under certain conditions are investigated for offloading (offflow) to LP-WUR, and relaxation of serving or neighbor cell RRM measurements in MR is considered.

1. The periodic reference signal is used for LR measurements.

Future follow-up Study (FFS): the reference signal to be measured, e.g., PSS, SSS, DMRS, LP-WUS waveform sequence, LP-SS; the DMRS may be, for example, a PBCH (PBCH Physical Broadcast Channel, physical broadcast channel) DMRS;

FFS: periodicity, content.

2. MR measurements are performed.

Option (Alt) 2: if the RRM measurement in MR is relaxed, there is a relaxed periodicity.

FFS: a relaxed condition;

can be applied to both neighboring cells and serving cells.

Alt3: only when the LP-WUR measurement based on the reference signal fulfils a certain condition, e.g. is below a threshold value.

FFS: a threshold value.

Under certain conditions, the MR measurements described above may be applicable to both neighboring cells and serving cells.

Possibly together with a relaxed approach for MR neighbor cell measurements.

Other alternatives are not excluded.

In some cases, the serving cell measurements of the primary transceiver may be offloaded to the LP-WUR. The primary transceiver will now take measurements of the serving cell loose. However, for the primary transceiver, the primary measurement of the serving cell and/or the neighbor cell cannot be performed continuously because the primary transceiver enters the sleep state.

However, for some terminals in the disconnected state, the measurement cannot be stopped because of the specific task, so that separate consideration is needed, and the main transceiver cannot enter the sleep state. Otherwise, if the sleep state is entered, the measurement of the neighbor cell is stopped at this time. This is disadvantageous for terminals that need to perform neighbor cell measurements, e.g., terminals that have configured certain different frequency points in the disconnected state to make early measurements, i.e., perform EMR. Because the EMR is initially designed to measure certain different frequency points in advance in the non-connected state, the EMR is derived from candidate carrier configuration of the network for carrier aggregation of the terminal.

For some terminals in the unconnected state after the introduction of the separate transceiver, the measurement cannot be stopped because of the specific task present, and thus, separate consideration is required, and the main transceiver cannot enter the dormant state.

Fig. 2 is an interactive schematic diagram illustrating an information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present disclosure relates to an information processing method for a communication system 100, the method including:

In some examples, the first transceiver may have only a receive function, or only a transmit function, or both a receive function and a transmit function. Illustratively, the first transceiver may be a low power wake-up receiver (LP-WUR).

In some examples, the first transceiver has a first predetermined state and a third predetermined state different from the first predetermined state. The first transceiver may enter the third predetermined state from the first predetermined state or enter the first predetermined state from the third predetermined state.

As an example, the first predetermined state may be an operating state and the third predetermined state may be a sleep state.

In some examples, the power consumption of the terminal when operating with the second transceiver is higher than the power consumption of the terminal when operating with the first transceiver.

In some examples, the second transceiver is a primary transceiver (primary receiver, MR) of the terminal.

In some examples, the second transceiver has a second predetermined state and a fourth predetermined state different from the second predetermined state. The second transceiver may enter the fourth predetermined state from the second predetermined state or enter the second predetermined state from the fourth predetermined state.

As an example, the second predetermined state may be a sleep state and the fourth predetermined state may be an operating state.

In some examples, the number of second transceivers may be one or more. Illustratively, when the terminal has two second transceivers, the two second transceivers are both in a second predetermined state or are both in a fourth predetermined state.

For example, for two second transceivers in a second predetermined state, one second transceiver may be in a dormant state and the other second transceiver in a deep dormant state; alternatively, for two second transceivers in a second predetermined state, both second transceivers may be in a dormant state or a deep dormant state.

In some embodiments, the first information may be used to indicate that a first state of a terminal that is performing or is about to perform the first operation is not activated or that the terminal does not enter the first state.

For example, the terminal may determine that the first operation is to be performed when a time difference between the current time and the first time at which the first operation is performed is less than a threshold. Here, the first time is later than the current time. For example, the first time may be determined based on configuration information related to the first operation, which may be, for example, a measurement configuration sent by the network device to the terminal.

In some embodiments, the first state of the terminal not being activated or the terminal not entering the first state may include: the terminal disables or does not enable the second transceiver to activate the second predetermined state or the terminal disables or does not enable the second transceiver to enter the second predetermined state.

In some embodiments, the first state is a state in which the terminal is operating using a first transceiver (LP-WUR) while the second transceiver is in a dormant state.

In some embodiments, the terminal uses the first transceiver to make measurements of the serving cell while the terminal is in the first state or the first state is activated; the second transceiver is in a relaxed state for measurements made on the serving cell and/or the neighbor cell.

As one example, measuring relaxation may include measuring to stop or measuring at longer intervals.

In some embodiments, the first information may be included in a first message sent by the network device to the terminal, e.g., the first message may include at least one of: a radio resource Control (Radio Resource Control, RC) message, a medium access Control (Media Access Control, MAC) Control Element (CE) message, DCI.

In some embodiments, the method may include the method of the embodiments of the terminal, the network device, and the like, which are not described herein.

The embodiment of the disclosure provides an information processing method, which comprises the following steps:

The terminal cannot be activated in the first state (i.e., the first state of the terminal cannot be activated) or cannot enter the first state when a specific task (e.g., the first task in the foregoing embodiments) is performed.

In some examples, the first state is a state in which the terminal is operating using a first transceiver (LP-WUR); the second transceiver is in a dormant state at this time.

In some examples, the terminal uses the first transceiver to make measurements of the serving cell while the terminal is in or activated in the first state; while the second transceiver is in a state where measurements are relaxed for serving cell measurements and/or neighbor measurements (measurement relaxation may include measurement stopping or measurement at longer intervals).

In some embodiments, the particular task may be a task that the primary transceiver ((e.g., the second transceiver in the foregoing embodiments) needs to perform and/or measure.

As one example, the terminal is configured by the network to perform EMR (early measurement reporting) related measurements.

As one example, the terminal is configured by the network to perform log measurement (logged measurement) related measurements.

In some embodiments, the terminal does not perform measurement relaxation with the first transceiver on the serving cell and/or with the master transceiver on the serving cell and/or neighbor measurements when a particular timer (e.g., the first timer in the previous embodiments) is running:

In some embodiments, the terminal cannot be activated or enter the first state when the specific timer is running; the specific timer is a timer associated with a specific task. For example, the network configures the terminal to perform a specific task during a specific timer run.

As one example, the particular timer is a T331 timer, which may be configured for EMR measurement. As one embodiment, the network configuration terminal performs EMR measurements when the T331 timer is running;

as one example, the particular timer is a T330 timer, which may be configured for logged measurement. As one embodiment, the network configuration terminal performs logged measurement measurements when the T330 timer is running.

In some embodiments, whether the terminal is executing to enter the first state or is activated the first state is based on a trigger condition decision.

As an example, the trigger condition is a first trigger condition, and the first trigger condition decision may be to decide whether the terminal is measurement relaxed for the serving cell and/or the neighbor cell, such as to meet signal quality good (not at the cell edge) and/or low mobility.

Still further, criteria for good signal quality (not at the cell edge) and/or low mobility may be met based on the LP-SS detected by the first transceiver.

As one example, the trigger condition is a second trigger condition, the decision of which needs to take into account that a particular timer is not running.

As one example, the particular timer is a T331 timer, which may be configured for EMR measurement.

As one example, the particular timer is a T330 timer, which may be configured for logged measurement.

In some embodiments, it is desirable that both the first trigger condition and the second trigger condition be satisfied at the same time to perform entering the first state or being activated the first state (i.e., the timer is not running (T is not running) when the entering condition is decided).
