Description

省電方法及省電的行動終端Power saving method and power-saving mobile terminal

本發明係關於行動通信領域,尤其係關於一種省電方法及省電的行動終端。The present invention relates to the field of mobile communications, and more particularly to a power saving method and a power-saving mobile terminal.

在現有的行動多媒體廣播系統中,一個碼框(frame)中包含有若干個時槽(TS,Time Slot),每個時槽中包括一個信標(Beacon)和若干正交頻率部門多工(OFDM)符號;所述信標中至少包括同步信號;通常將信標放在時槽的開頭。In the existing mobile multimedia broadcasting system, a frame contains a number of time slots (TS, Time Slot), each time slot includes a beacon and a plurality of orthogonal frequency departments ( OFDM) symbol; the beacon includes at least a synchronization signal; the beacon is usually placed at the beginning of the time slot.

在目前的接收系統中,當被接收信號正常時,行動終端可以利用所述信標以與廣播信號同步,按照指定的時槽定時開啟或者關閉解碼模組,包括接收通道與相關解碼電路等。但當接收信號異常,比如信號品質很差,或者信號消失時,行動終端由於無法正常接收到信標中的同步信號而無法與時槽同步,此時解碼通道一直處於開啟狀態,並持續使用檢測窗探測信標;這樣一來將消耗大量的電能,如果信號停止或異常時間較長,則終端很快會因為電能耗盡而關機,造成用戶的使用不便。而如果在接收信號異常時暫時關機,則無法在信號恢復正常時及時開始接收信號,也會給用戶帶來諸多不便。In the current receiving system, when the received signal is normal, the mobile terminal can use the beacon to synchronize with the broadcast signal, and turn on or off the decoding module according to the specified time slot timing, including the receiving channel and the related decoding circuit. However, when the received signal is abnormal, such as poor signal quality, or the signal disappears, the mobile terminal cannot synchronize with the time slot because it cannot receive the synchronization signal in the beacon normally. At this time, the decoding channel is always on, and the detection is continued. The window detects the beacon; this will consume a lot of power. If the signal stops or the abnormal time is long, the terminal will quickly shut down because the power is exhausted, which makes the user inconvenient to use. If the signal is temporarily turned off when the received signal is abnormal, it is impossible to start receiving the signal in time when the signal returns to normal, which also brings a lot of inconvenience to the user.

本發明的目的之一係提供一種省電方法及省電的行動終端,以解決無信號或者信號品質很差的情況下,行動終端消耗大量電能的問題。One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a power saving method and a power-saving mobile terminal to solve the problem that the mobile terminal consumes a large amount of power without a signal or poor signal quality.

為解決上述技術問題,本發明提供了一種省電方法,包括:在終端設置與接收信號同步變化的接收信號資訊;當終端不能正常接收信號時終端進行休眠;在休眠狀態下根據所述接收信號資訊來判定信標的出現時間,用以偵測信標。In order to solve the above technical problem, the present invention provides a power saving method, comprising: setting a received signal information that is synchronously changed with a received signal at a terminal; and performing a sleep when the terminal cannot normally receive a signal; and receiving a signal according to the received state in a sleep state; Information to determine the time of occurrence of the beacon to detect the beacon.

本發明更提供了一種省電的行動終端,包括解碼模組,用以從廣播網路中接收信號;及控制模組,用以在解碼模組正常接收到接收信號時根據接收信號在本終端內設置一個與接收信號同步變化的接收信號資訊,當解碼模組無法正常接收信號時,則關閉解碼模組;更用以在解碼模組為關閉狀態時,則根據所述接收信號資訊來判定各信標的出現時間,以喚醒解碼模組去偵測信標。The present invention further provides a power-saving mobile terminal, comprising a decoding module for receiving signals from a broadcast network; and a control module for transmitting the received signal according to the received signal at the terminal when the decoding module normally receives the received signal The receiving signal information is changed in synchronization with the received signal. When the decoding module cannot receive the signal normally, the decoding module is turned off; and when the decoding module is in the off state, it is determined according to the received signal information. The appearance time of each beacon is to wake up the decoding module to detect the beacon.

本發明的所提供的技術手段能使終端在無法正常接收到接收信號時進入休眠狀態,從而節省電能;並且本發明的實施例能精確控制解碼模組開啟的時間,使其在能接收到信標時開啟,在省電的前提下也大幅度減少了信號恢復後的播放啟動時間。The technical means provided by the invention can enable the terminal to enter a sleep state when the receiving signal cannot be received normally, thereby saving power; and the embodiment of the invention can accurately control the time when the decoding module is turned on, so that it can receive the letter. When the time is on, the playback start time after signal recovery is greatly reduced under the premise of power saving.

以下將結合附圖及實施例對本發明的技術手段進行更詳細的說明。The technical means of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

本發明的核心思想是:在終端內設置與接收信號同步變化的接收信號資訊,並使終端在不能正常接收到接收信號時進行休眠,由於終端在休眠狀態下仍能夠根據所述接收信號資訊獲知能接收到信標的精確時間,所以終端只需要在能接收到信標的時間進行探測,即可檢驗接收信號是否恢復正常,並在接收信號恢復正常時,在最快時間內開始播放;而在其他時間終端都處於休眠狀態,因此可以節省電能。The core idea of the present invention is: setting received signal information that changes synchronously with the received signal in the terminal, and causing the terminal to sleep when the received signal is not normally received, because the terminal can still know according to the received signal information while in the sleep state. The precise time at which the beacon can be received, so the terminal only needs to detect when the beacon can be received, and then it can verify whether the received signal returns to normal, and start playing in the fastest time when the received signal returns to normal; The time terminals are all in a sleep state, so power can be saved.

在本發明之實施例中,假設每個時槽中包含M個OFDM符號和一個信標,為方便說明,在後文將時槽中的OFDM符號和信標統稱為符號。In the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that each time slot contains M OFDM symbols and one beacon. For convenience of description, the OFDM symbols and beacons in the time slot are collectively referred to as symbols.

本發明提供了一種省電方法,如第1圖所示,包括以下步驟:A、開啟終端,並判斷終端是否能正常接收信號,如果正常則執行步驟B,若不正常則執行步驟E。The present invention provides a power saving method. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes the following steps: A. Turning on the terminal and determining whether the terminal can normally receive the signal. If it is normal, execute step B. If not, perform step E.

本發明之實施例所述的正常接收信號是指:接收信號的強度或品質能夠使終端偵測到接收信號中的信標,並進行同步。The normal received signal according to the embodiment of the present invention means that the strength or quality of the received signal enables the terminal to detect the beacon in the received signal and synchronize.

本發明之實施例所述的步驟A中,更包含(但不應將本發明侷限於此):判斷終端裡的解碼模組是否能夠正常接收到接收信號,如果能夠正常接收到接收信號則執行步驟B;當由於環境遮蔽等原因導致接收信號消失或接收信號異常時,解碼模組可能都無法正常接收到接收信號,此時執行步驟C。可由終端裡的控制模組進行上述判斷,但不限於由控制模組進行上述判斷。Step A in the embodiment of the present invention further includes (but should not limit the present invention): determining whether the decoding module in the terminal can normally receive the received signal, and if it can normally receive the received signal, execute Step B: When the received signal disappears or the received signal is abnormal due to environmental obscuration or the like, the decoding module may not receive the received signal normally, and step C is performed at this time. The above determination may be made by the control module in the terminal, but is not limited to the above determination by the control module.

B、使終端與接收信號同步,終端根據接收信號在終端內設置一個與接收信號同步變化的接收信號資訊;進行步驟C。B. Synchronize the terminal with the received signal, and the terminal sets a received signal information that changes in synchronization with the received signal according to the received signal; and performs step C.

因此,當接收信號異常而終端無法正常接收同步信號時,仍可以根據所述接收信號資訊來確定接收信號正常時每個信標該被接收到的時刻。Therefore, when the received signal is abnormal and the terminal cannot normally receive the synchronization signal, the time at which each beacon should be received when the received signal is normal can still be determined based on the received signal information.

在本發明之實施例所述的步驟B中,終端根據接收信號設置接收信號資訊是指:終端對與接收信號中的符號同步的符號進行計數,並在計數值達到M+1時從零開始重新計數。In step B of the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal sets the received signal information according to the received signal, that is, the terminal counts the symbol synchronized with the symbol in the received signal, and recounts from zero when the count value reaches M+1. .

本發明之實施例所述的步驟B中,終端根據接收信號設置接收信號資訊也可以是指:終端建立一個計數器,並根據解碼模組接收的信號將該計數器與實際接收信號的符號同步。In step B of the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal setting the received signal information according to the received signal may also mean that the terminal establishes a counter, and synchronizes the counter with the symbol of the actual received signal according to the signal received by the decoding module.

本發明之實施例所述的步驟B中,將計數器與實際接收信號的符號同步是指:使該計數器在各符號的開始時刻計數值加1,而且當計數值到達M+1時將計數器歸零;可使所述計數器從收到時槽中第一個符號時開始計數,當然也可以從收到任一個符號開始計數。In step B of the embodiment of the present invention, synchronizing the counter with the symbol of the actual received signal means that the counter is incremented by one at the start time of each symbol, and the counter is reset to zero when the count value reaches M+1; The counter can be counted from the time of receipt of the first symbol in the slot, although it is also possible to count from any symbol received.

本發明之實施例所述的計數器係由高準確度的訊號源所驅動,當接收信號消失時,該計數器仍可繼續運行。The counter according to the embodiment of the present invention is driven by a high-accuracy signal source, and the counter can continue to operate when the received signal disappears.

本發明之實施例所述的步驟B中,終端根據接收信號設置接收信號資訊也可以是指:終端設置一定時器,其定時的時間長度與一個時隙的時間長度相同;終端在信標的開始時刻啟動該定時器,此後每次到時後重定並再次啟動該定時器。In step B of the embodiment of the present invention, the setting of the received signal information by the terminal according to the received signal may also mean that the terminal sets a timer whose time length is the same as the time length of one time slot; the terminal is at the beginning of the beacon. The timer is started at any time, and then the timer is reset and restarted each time it arrives.

本發明之實施例所述的步驟A中,終端根據接收信號設置接收信號資訊還可以是指:終端設置一計時器,在信標的開始時刻啟動該計時器,當其計時的時間長度與一個時槽的時間長度相同時將其歸零並再次啟動該計時器。In step A of the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal setting the received signal information according to the received signal may also mean that the terminal sets a timer, and starts the timer at the start time of the beacon, when the time length of the time is one time When the slot has the same length of time, it is zeroed and the timer is started again.

因為信標在每個時槽中的位置固定,因此終端根據定時器或計時器就可以確定信標的開始時刻。通過定時器或計時器設置接收信號資訊的方法不限於上面的描述,符合該發明精神的技術方法都可以採用。Since the position of the beacon in each time slot is fixed, the terminal can determine the start time of the beacon according to a timer or a timer. The method of setting the received signal information by the timer or the timer is not limited to the above description, and any technical method conforming to the spirit of the invention can be employed.

與採用定時器或計時器的方式相比,採用跟蹤頻率的方式,即採用計數器來作為接收信號資訊更為精確。Compared with the method of using a timer or a timer, the method of using the tracking frequency, that is, using the counter as the received signal information is more accurate.

C、終端正常工作,當無法正常接收信號時,進行步驟D。C. The terminal works normally. When the signal cannot be received normally, proceed to step D.

本發明之實施例所述的步驟C可以包括下述技術但不以此為限:終端監視解碼模組的工作,當出現無法正常接收信號的情況時,執行步驟D。亦可由所述控制模組進行監視,但不以此為限。The step C described in the embodiment of the present invention may include the following techniques, but not limited thereto: the terminal monitors the operation of the decoding module, and when there is a situation in which the signal cannot be normally received, step D is performed. The control module can also be monitored, but not limited thereto.

D、終端進入休眠狀態,並根據所述接收信號資訊確定各信標的出現時間,從而偵測信標。當偵測到信標時,說明接收信號已能被正常接收,此時終端恢復正常工作,返回步驟C;如未偵測到則返回步驟D。D. The terminal enters a sleep state, and determines the occurrence time of each beacon according to the received signal information, thereby detecting the beacon. When the beacon is detected, it indicates that the received signal can be normally received. At this time, the terminal resumes normal operation, and returns to step C; if it is not detected, it returns to step D.

本步驟中終端的工作方式稱為同步省電模式,如圖2所示。The working mode of the terminal in this step is called synchronous power saving mode, as shown in Figure 2.

本發明之實施例所述的步驟D中,終端進入休眠狀態係指關閉解碼模組。In the step D described in the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal enters the sleep state to close the decoding module.

本發明之實施例所述的步驟D中,終端根據所述接收信號資訊確定各信標的出現時間,在該時間中偵測所述信標是指:終端根據所述符號計數值,確定各信標的出現時間,喚醒解碼模組偵測信標。In step D of the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal determines the occurrence time of each beacon according to the received signal information, and detecting the beacon in the time is: the terminal determines each letter according to the symbol count value. The appearance time of the target wakes up the decoding module to detect the beacon.

本發明實施例所述的步驟D可以包括下述技術,但不以此為限:終端關閉解碼模組,並開始監視所述計數器中的計數值,根據該計數值判斷信標的出現時刻,喚醒所述解碼模組以偵測信標。當偵測到信標時,返回步驟C;如未偵測到信標則返回步驟D。可以利用終端中的控制模組關閉解碼模組和監視計數器。The step D of the embodiment of the present invention may include the following technologies, but not limited thereto: the terminal turns off the decoding module, and starts monitoring the count value in the counter, and determines the occurrence time of the beacon according to the count value, and wakes up. The decoding module detects a beacon. When the beacon is detected, it returns to step C; if the beacon is not detected, it returns to step D. The decoding module and the monitoring counter can be turned off by using the control module in the terminal.

如果考慮到解碼模組的啟動需要一段時間,而且計數器會有一定的漂移,則需要在每個信標的開始時刻前,提前deltT1時刻喚醒解碼模組,如未偵測到信標,則在信標的結束時刻後延遲deltT2時刻返回步驟D,即再次關閉解碼模組。因此,每次解碼模組偵測信標的時間長短為:Tsrch=Tbeacon+deltT1+deltT2 方程式一If it takes a period of time to start the decoding module, and the counter will drift a certain amount, it is necessary to wake up the decoding module before deltaT1 before the start time of each beacon. If the beacon is not detected, then in the letter After the end of the target, the time delay deltT2 is returned to step D, that is, the decoding module is closed again. Therefore, each time the decoding module detects the beacon for a length of time: Tsrch=Tbeacon+deltT1+deltT2 Equation 1

其中Tsrch為檢測窗長度,即解碼模組偵測信標的時間長度,也就是解碼模組被喚醒後開啟的時間長度;Tbeacon為信標的時間長度。The Tsrch is the length of the detection window, that is, the length of time that the decoding module detects the beacon, that is, the length of time after the decoding module is awakened, and the length of time that the Tbeacon is the beacon.

deltT 1為解碼模組啟動時間加上前移保護時間,deltT2為後移保護時間。解碼模組啟動時間依解碼模組從被喚醒到完成啟動所需要的時間因終端而異,可以藉由實測而得到;所述前、後移保護時間係用於修正計數值,用以確保計數器在產生小量漂移後解碼模組仍能在接收到信標前啟動,並且檢測窗在產生漂移的情況下也能包含完整的信標,其長度可根據系統實測或模擬來確定,所以deltT1和deltT2是在發射系統和終端確定後就可以確定的,兩者可相同也可不同。deltT 1 is the decoding module startup time plus the forward protection time, and deltT2 is the backward protection time. The time required for the decoding module to start from the wake-up to the completion of the decoding module varies from terminal to terminal, and can be obtained by actual measurement; the front and back protection time is used to correct the count value to ensure the counter. After generating a small amount of drift, the decoding module can still be started before receiving the beacon, and the detection window can also contain the complete beacon in the case of drift, and the length can be determined according to system measurement or simulation, so deltT1 and deltT2 can be determined after the transmission system and the terminal are determined, and the two can be the same or different.

因此,本發明之實施例所述的步驟D中,終端應該在各時槽中第X個符號開始時喚醒解碼模組;如果未偵測到信標,則在第Y個符號開始時關閉解碼模組。所述第X個符號的開始時刻與下一信標開始時刻之間的時間差係大於或者等於deltT 1,並且第X+1個符號的開始時刻與下一信標開始時刻之間的時間差係小於deltT 1;所述第Y個符號的開始時刻與上一信標結束時刻之間的時間差係大於或者等於deltT 2,所述第Y-1個符號的開始時刻與上一信標結束時刻之間的時間差係小於deltT 2。Therefore, in step D of the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal should wake up the decoding module when the Xth symbol starts in each time slot; if the beacon is not detected, the decoding is turned off at the beginning of the Yth symbol. Module. The time difference between the start time of the Xth symbol and the start time of the next beacon is greater than or equal to deltT1, and the time difference between the start time of the X+1th symbol and the start time of the next beacon is less than deltT1. The time difference between the start time of the Yth symbol and the last beacon end time is greater than or equal to deltT 2, the time difference between the start time of the Y-1th symbol and the last beacon end time It is less than deltT 2.

在實際應用中,終端中分別保存了第X個符號的開始時刻和第Y個符號的開始時刻對應的符號計數值,當所述計數值達到第X個符號的開始時刻對應的符號計數值時則開啟解碼模組,當所述計數值達到第Y個符號的開始時刻對應的符號計數值時則關閉解碼模組。In practical applications, the terminal stores the symbol count value corresponding to the start time of the Xth symbol and the start time of the Yth symbol, and when the count value reaches the symbol count value corresponding to the start time of the Xth symbol, Then, the decoding module is turned on, and when the count value reaches the symbol count value corresponding to the start time of the Yth symbol, the decoding module is turned off.

由於可以精確定位,因此Tsrch可以比現有技術中檢測窗的長度小,也起到了省電的效果。Because it can be accurately positioned, Tsrch can be smaller than the length of the detection window in the prior art, and also saves power.

採用定時器或計時器的方式來表示接收信號資訊時的實現方式與採用計數器時的類似,這裏不再贅述。The implementation of the signal information by means of a timer or a timer is similar to that when the counter is used, and will not be described here.

E、終端進入休眠狀態,定期偵測信標,檢測窗的長度係大於或等於一個時槽,偵測間隔係至少大於一個時槽的長度,偵測到信標時返回步驟B。E. The terminal enters a sleep state, and the beacon is periodically detected. The length of the detection window is greater than or equal to one time slot, and the detection interval is at least greater than the length of one time slot. When the beacon is detected, the process returns to step B.

本步驟中終端的工作方式稱為非同步省電模式,如圖3所示。The working mode of the terminal in this step is called the asynchronous power saving mode, as shown in Figure 3.

本發明之實施例所述的偵測間隔根據省電和對開啟速度的要求折衷選擇,例如3秒。當偵測到信標時,說明接收信號已能被正常接收,此時終端恢復正常工作,返回步驟B。The detection interval described in the embodiment of the present invention is compromised according to the requirements of power saving and opening speed, for example, 3 seconds. When the beacon is detected, it indicates that the received signal can be received normally. At this time, the terminal resumes normal operation and returns to step B.

在實際應用中,可以採用簡化的方案:在終端正常接收到接收信號時根據接收信號在本終端內設置一個與接收信號同步變化的接收信號資訊,當終端無法正常接收信號時進行步驟D,當偵測到信標後進行步驟C,偵測不到信標時繼續步驟D。而上述加入了非同步省電模式的方案為該簡化方案的改良。In practical applications, a simplified solution may be adopted: when the terminal normally receives the received signal, according to the received signal, a received signal information that changes synchronously with the received signal is set in the terminal, and when the terminal cannot receive the signal normally, step D is performed. After detecting the beacon, proceed to step C, and if the beacon is not detected, continue to step D. The above scheme of adding the asynchronous power saving mode is an improvement of the simplified scheme.

為了便於終端或是其他網路設備得知終端所採用的是哪種省電工作模式,可以設置一個計數有效旗標位元,該旗標位元可以為一暫存器,但不限於此。當終端無法正常接收到接收信號時,先判斷該旗標位元的狀態,若設為邏輯”1”則採用同步省電模式,即上述步驟D,否則採用非同步省電模式,即上述步驟E;每次終端開啟時先清除該旗標位元,每當能正常接收信號時,將該旗標位元設為邏輯”1”。具體各步驟中可以相應增加以下處理:本發明之實施例所述的步驟A中,終端開啟後清除所述旗標位元;當不能正常接收信號,時先查詢所述旗標位元狀態,由於該旗標位元為清除狀態(即邏輯”0”),因此採用非同步節電模式,執行步驟E。如果能正常接收信號則將旗標位元設為邏輯”1”。In order to facilitate the terminal or other network device to know which power-saving working mode is adopted by the terminal, a counting effective flag bit may be set, and the flag bit may be a temporary register, but is not limited thereto. When the terminal cannot receive the received signal normally, the status of the flag bit is first determined. If the logic is set to "1", the synchronous power saving mode is adopted, that is, the above step D, otherwise, the asynchronous power saving mode is adopted, that is, the above steps E; the flag bit is first cleared each time the terminal is turned on, and the flag bit is set to logic "1" whenever the signal can be normally received. In the specific step, the following processing may be added: in step A of the embodiment of the present invention, the flag bit is cleared after the terminal is turned on; when the signal cannot be received normally, the status of the flag bit is first queried. Since the flag bit is in the clear state (ie, logic "0"), step E is performed in the asynchronous power save mode. If the signal can be received normally, the flag bit is set to logic "1".

本發明之實施例所述的步驟C中,當出現無法正常接收到接收信號的情況時,先查詢所述旗標位元狀態,由於該旗標位元為邏輯”1”,因此採用同步省電模式,執行步驟D。In the step C of the embodiment of the present invention, when a situation in which the received signal cannot be normally received occurs, the state of the flag bit is first queried, and since the flag bit is logical "1", the synchronization province is adopted. In the electrical mode, perform step D.

本發明之實施例所述的步驟D中,偵測到信標後將所述計數有效旗標設為邏輯”1”;如果沒偵測到則可以先查詢偵測位元的狀態,若為邏輯”1”則繼續執行步驟D。In step D of the embodiment of the present invention, after the beacon is detected, the count valid flag is set to logic "1"; if not detected, the status of the detected bit may be queried first, if Logic "1" continues with step D.

本發明之實施例所述的步驟E中,偵測到信標後將所述計數有效旗標位元設為邏輯”1”。In step E of the embodiment of the present invention, after the beacon is detected, the count valid flag bit is set to logic "1".

本發明之實施例所述的步驟D可以具體包括以下步驟:D1、當終端進入休眠狀態時,同時重定並啟動一定時器。The step D described in the embodiment of the present invention may specifically include the following steps: D1: When the terminal enters the sleep state, simultaneously reset and start a timer.

D2、終端根據所述接收信號資訊判定信標的出現時間,在該時間中偵測信標。當偵測到信標時,執行步驟D3,否則繼續休眠,返回步驟D2。D2. The terminal determines the appearance time of the beacon according to the received signal information, and detects the beacon in the time. When the beacon is detected, step D3 is performed, otherwise the sleep is continued, and the process returns to step D2.

D3、終端恢復正常工作,停止所述定時器,返回步驟C。D3. The terminal resumes normal operation, stops the timer, and returns to step C.

在步驟D2中,終端監測所述定時器的值,當其超出設定的臨界值T1時,停止所述計時器,進入非同步省電模式,即執行步驟E;如果具有所述計數有效旗標位元,則當計時器的值超出設定的臨界值T1時,終端先清除所述計數器有效旗標位元,停止所述定時器,繼而根據該旗標位元而判定應使用非同步節電模式,執行步驟E。In step D2, the terminal monitors the value of the timer. When it exceeds the set threshold T1, the timer is stopped, and the asynchronous power saving mode is entered, that is, step E is performed; if the counting valid flag is Bit, when the value of the timer exceeds the set threshold T1, the terminal first clears the counter valid flag bit, stops the timer, and then determines that the asynchronous power saving mode should be used according to the flag bit. , go to step E.

這樣做的目的在於當終端在同步省電模式下運行一定時間後,計數器的漂移可能造成信標不在檢測窗之內,為確保對信標的檢測,要改用檢測窗長但較費電的非同步省電模式工作;所述T1根據系統訊號源的準確度而定,可以為1小時,但不限於此。The purpose of this is that after the terminal runs in the synchronous power-saving mode for a certain period of time, the drift of the counter may cause the beacon to be out of the detection window. To ensure the detection of the beacon, the detection window is used instead of the more expensive The synchronous power saving mode works; the T1 is determined according to the accuracy of the system signal source, and may be 1 hour, but is not limited thereto.

本發明之實施例所述的步驟D中還可以包括:終端監測接收信號強度RSSI,如果RSSI>臨界值R1,則進入非同步省電模式,即執行步驟E。若具有所述計數有效旗標位元,則當RSSI>臨界值R1時,終端先清除所述計數有效旗標位元,繼而根據該旗標位元來判定使用非同步省電模式,執行步驟E。The step D of the embodiment of the present invention may further include: the terminal monitors the received signal strength RSSI, and if the RSSI>the threshold value R1, enters the asynchronous power saving mode, that is, performs step E.
