Description

Information processing method, apparatus, communication device and storage medium

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to, but not limited to, the field of wireless communications technologies, and in particular, to an information processing method, an apparatus, a communication device, and a storage medium.

Background

In the current 3GPP standardization of the power saving project of R17, it is proposed to use an additional tracking Reference Signal (Tracking Reference Signal, TRS) or a channel state information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) in an idle state to assist a user in acquiring and time-frequency domain synchronization of a network. The TRS or CSI-RS configuration may be configured to be closer to the time of departure (PO) than the original synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal Block, SSB) synchronization; the original SSB is far from the PO location, so the User Equipment (UE) needs to wake up long in advance to synchronize with the SSB. And after the additional TRS or CSI-RS is adopted, the UE may wake up later, so that power can be saved more.

In the related art, a new type of User Equipment (UE) is introduced; the new UE is a reduced capability (Reduced capability, redCap) UE or a 5G new air interface lightweight (5G NR-lite) UE. The novel UE is similar to the internet of things device, and generally meets the requirements of at least one of the following: (1) low cost and complexity; (2) a degree of coverage enhancement; (3) power saving; (4) Part of the UEs support 1 RX antenna structure or part of the UEs support 2 RX antenna structures; (5) In R18, after introduction of the new UE, the applicable bandwidth of the new UE is further reduced.

For the new UE of R18, more SSBs may be needed for synchronization; the use of TRSs or CSI-RSs is therefore more critical for the new UE. However, due to the limitation of the bandwidth of the new UE, situations arise in which the TRS or CSI-RS configured for the enhanced mobile bandwidth (Enhanced Mobile Broadband, eMBB) is not necessarily adapted to the new UE, etc.; how to configure the TRS or CSI-RS of the new UE would be a problem.
