Detailed ways

In order to make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation manners of the present application will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

First, briefly introduce the terms involved in the embodiments of this application:

Discontinuous Reception (DRX): DRX allows the terminal to periodically enter a dormant period at certain times without monitoring the physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) scheduling information (or PDCCH subframe). When the terminal needs to monitor the PDCCH scheduling information, it wakes up from the dormant period, so that the terminal can achieve the purpose of saving power.

The basic mechanism of DRX is to configure a DRX cycle (DRX cycle) for the terminal in the radio resource control connected state (Radio Resource Control_CONNECTED, RRC_CONNECTED) state. The DRX cycle is composed of "Active Time" and "Inactive Time": during the "active period", the terminal monitors and receives PDCCH scheduling information; during the "sleep period", the terminal does not receive it Downlink channel data to save power consumption. As can be seen from Figure 1, in the time domain, time is divided into successive DRX cycles (Cycle). When the terminal receives a scheduling message during the "active period", the terminal will start a DRX-Inactivity Timer (DRX-Inactivity Timer) and monitor the PDCCH scheduling information in each subframe of the period; if DRX-Inactivity The Timer is running, so even if the originally configured OnDuration time has expired, the terminal still needs to continue to monitor the downlink PDCCH subframes until the DRX-Inactivity Timer expires.

Carrier aggregation: Carrier Aggregation (CA) is the aggregation of 2 or more component carriers (Component Carrier, CC) to support a larger transmission bandwidth. As shown in Figure 2, CA technology can aggregate 2 to 5 carriers to achieve a maximum transmission bandwidth of 100 MHz, which effectively improves the uplink and downlink transmission rates.

A primary cell (Primary Cell, PCell) is a cell where a terminal establishes an initial connection, or a cell where an RRC connection is reestablished, or a primary cell designated during a cell handover. PCell is responsible for radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) communication with the terminal. The carrier unit corresponding to PCell is called Primary Component Carrier (PCC).

A secondary cell (Secondary Cell, SCell) is added during RRC reconfiguration and is used to provide additional radio resources. There is no RRC communication between the SCell and the terminal. The carrier unit corresponding to the SCell is called a secondary carrier (Secondary Component Carrier, SCC).

There is only one primary carrier at the same time, and multiple secondary carriers are allowed, such as 3 secondary carriers. The network can set the auxiliary carrier that is not in use temporarily to a sleep state as needed to reduce the power consumption of the terminal; it can also quickly activate the auxiliary carrier so that the auxiliary carrier is in a non-sleep state to meet transmission needs. The main carrier of the terminal cannot be deactivated; the terminal can only transmit data on the activated carrier (main carrier or auxiliary carrier), and only supports limited measurement on the deactivated carrier (secondary carrier).

Sleep mode: In the sleep mode, the terminal can ignore the PDCCH of one carrier or greatly reduce the PDCCH monitoring on one carrier. At the same time, the terminal only needs to maintain some basic channel measurement signal reception, such as uplink and downlink synchronization, and frequency calibration.

The mechanism for NR to adjust the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier is: by switching to the sleep bandwidth part (Bandwidth Part, BWP) or non-sleep BWP, correspondingly, a certain auxiliary carrier enters the sleep state or the non-sleep state. Specifically, the terminal receives the PDCCH sent by the network device through the primary carrier in a certain time slot, and the terminal determines the status of the secondary carrier according to the indication field in the Downlink Control Information (DCI) carried by the PDCCH, and then switches to sleep BWP or non-sleeping BWP. As shown in Figure 3, the power consumption of the sleep carrier/BWP can be greatly reduced. For the non-sleeping carrier/BWP as shown in (a) in FIG. 3, most time slots will have power consumption for PDCCH monitoring, physical downlink shared channel (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, PDSCH) buffering, and measurement. In the sleep carrier/BWP shown in (b) of Fig. 3, there is only power consumption for measurement in some time slots, so as to reduce the power consumption of the terminal.

In the related art, there are two possible sleep indication methods for the auxiliary carrier. When the DCI is a non-scheduled (that is, no scheduled data) DCI, the terminal uses n bits in the DCI as an indicator field to indicate the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier, and n is a positive integer, for example, n is 15. When the DCI is scheduled (that is, scheduled data) DCI, the terminal will use the dedicated indication field in the DCI to determine the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier group.

In the related art, the terminal can only use one sleep indication method of the auxiliary carrier. When the DCI received by the terminal is configured with indication fields corresponding to the sleep indication methods of multiple auxiliary carriers, how the terminal determines the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier, the related technology has not yet provided a better solution.

DCI format: PDCCH can carry many different DCI formats. The DCI format in this application can be DCI format 0-1 or DCI format 1-1 (see the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP) standard 38212-g00 for details), as shown in Tables 1 and 2 Show:

Table 1: DCI format 0-1

Table 2: DCI format 1-1

Among them, DCI format 0-1 is a non-fallback format for uplink scheduling allocation, and DCI format 1-1 is a non-fallback format for downlink scheduling allocation.

It should be noted that this application does not limit the DCI format. In addition to the above two DCI formats, the DCI format can also adopt other formats.

FIG. 4 shows a block diagram of a communication system provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The communication system may include: an access network 12 and a terminal 13.

The access network 12 includes several network devices 120. The network device 120 may be a base station, which is a device deployed in an access network to provide wireless communication functions for terminal devices. The base station may include various forms of macro base stations, micro base stations, relay stations, access points, and so on. In systems using different radio access technologies, the names of devices with base station functions may be different. For example, in LTE systems, they are called eNodeB or eNB; in 5G NR systems, they are called gNodeB or gNB. As communication technology evolves, the description of "base station" may change. To facilitate the description in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned devices for providing wireless communication functions for the terminal 13 are collectively referred to as network devices.

The terminal 13 may include various handheld devices with wireless communication functions, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, computing devices or other processing devices connected to wireless modems, as well as various forms of user equipment, mobile stations (MS), Terminal (terminal device) and so on. For ease of description, the devices mentioned above are collectively referred to as terminal devices. The network device 120 and the terminal 13 communicate with each other through a certain air interface technology, such as a Uu interface.

The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application can be applied to various communication systems, such as: Global System of Mobile Communication (GSM) system, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system, and broadband code division multiple access (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, WCDMA) system, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, LTE Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) system, LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD) system, Advanced Long Term Evolution (LTE-A) system, New Radio (NR) system, NR system evolution system, LTE on unlicensed frequency bands (LTE-based access to Unlicensed spectrum, LTE-U) system, NR-U system, Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) communication system, Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), Wireless Fidelity (WiFi), next-generation communication systems or other communication systems, etc.

Generally speaking, traditional communication systems support a limited number of connections and are easy to implement. However, with the development of communication technology, mobile communication systems will not only support traditional communication, but also support, for example, Device to Device (Device to Device, D2D) communication, machine to machine (Machine to Machine, M2M) communication, machine type communication (MTC), vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication, and vehicle networking (Vehicle to Everything, V2X) systems, etc. The embodiments of the present application can also be applied to these communication systems.

FIG. 5 shows a flowchart of a sleep indication method for a supplementary carrier according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method may be applied to the terminal 13 shown in FIG. 1, and the method includes:

Step 510: Receive the DCI carried on the PDCCH, where the DCI is configured with at least one indication field.

Among them, the indication field is used to indicate the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier.

A Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) is a downlink control channel sent by a network device to a terminal through a primary carrier, where the primary carrier is a carrier unit corresponding to the primary cell. The PDCCH carries scheduling and other control information, specifically including at least one of transmission format, resource allocation, uplink scheduling permission, power control, and retransmission information. Downlink Control Information (DCI) is the payload carried on the PDCCH. The DCI can schedule data of the primary carrier or not schedule data of the primary carrier.

The DCI includes several information fields for indicating different information, and the several information fields includes an indication field for indicating the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier. The DCI can be configured with one indication field, and the DCI can also be configured with multiple indication fields. One indication field corresponds to a sleep indication mode of a supplementary carrier. This application does not limit the number of indication fields configured by the DCI. The indication field is used to indicate the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier, and the number of auxiliary carriers indicated by one indication field may be one or more. Among them, the secondary carrier is a carrier unit corresponding to the secondary cell, and the secondary cell is a cell that provides additional wireless resources for data transmission between the terminal and the network device.

When the secondary carrier is in the sleep state, the terminal will ignore the PDCCH on the secondary carrier, or the terminal will greatly reduce the PDCCH monitoring on the secondary carrier, so as to achieve the purpose of energy saving. With reference to (b) in FIG. 3, for the auxiliary carrier in the sleep state, there will only be power consumption for measurement in some time slots, and there will be no power consumption for PDCCH monitoring.

Wherein, the aforementioned DCI includes at least one of a first DCI and a second DCI. The first DCI and the second DCI are different DCI carried on different PDCCHs. Both the first DCI and the second DCI are configured with at least one indication field.

Step 520: Determine the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier according to the target indicator field in the at least one indicator field.

In at least one indication domain, there is a target indication domain, and the terminal will determine the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier according to the indication of the target indication domain.

Optionally, the terminal receives a type of DCI (first DCI or second DCI), and determines the sleep state of the secondary carrier through a target indicator field in at least one indicator field (such as two indicator fields) configured by a DCI; or , The terminal receives two kinds of DCI, and determines the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier through the target indication field in the at least two indication fields configured by the two kinds of DCI.

The terminal determines the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier through the value of each bit in the target indication field. Optionally, each bit of the target indication field corresponds to one auxiliary carrier, or each bit of the target indication field corresponds to one carrier group, and one carrier group includes one or more auxiliary carriers.

Optionally, when the bit is 1, the auxiliary carrier (or carrier group) corresponding to the bit is in the sleep state, and when the bit is 0, the auxiliary carrier (or carrier group) corresponding to the bit is It is a non-sleep (normal) state; or, when the bit is 0, the auxiliary carrier (or carrier group) corresponding to the bit is in the sleep state, and when the bit is 1, the auxiliary carrier corresponding to the bit is in the sleep state. The carrier (or carrier grouping) is in a non-sleep (normal) state.

In summary, in the method provided in this embodiment, when a terminal receives a DCI configured with at least one indication domain, one indication domain corresponds to one sleep indication mode, and the target indication domain in the at least one indication domain can be used. To determine the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier, the problem of how to deal with when the terminal may receive multiple sleep indication modes at the same time is solved, the behavior of the terminal is clarified, and the accuracy of the sleep indication of the auxiliary carrier is improved.

In an optional embodiment based on FIG. 5, the at least one indication domain includes at least one of a first indication domain and a second indication domain.

Specifically, the first indication domain and the second indication domain have the following three situations:

Case 1: The first indicator field is an information field dedicated to indicating the sleep state of the secondary carrier in the DCI, and the second indicator field is used to indicate the sleep state of the secondary carrier in the DCI when the DCI is a DCI without data scheduling. In the information field of the state, the first indication field and the second indication field belong to the same DCI or two different DCIs.

The first indicator field and the second indicator field are different types of indicator fields. When the first indicator field and the second indicator field belong to the same DCI, the first indicator field belongs to the first DCI and the second indicator field belongs to the first DCI, or the first indicator field belongs to the second DCI and the second indicator field belongs to The second DCI. When the first indicator field and the second indicator field belong to two different DCIs, the first indicator field belongs to the first DCI and the second indicator field belongs to the second DCI, or the first indicator field belongs to the second DCI and the second indicator The domain belongs to the first DCI.

The first indication domain can be referred to as a dedicated indication domain or a newly added indication domain for short. DCI can schedule the data of the main carrier or not. Regardless of whether the DCI is a DCI for data scheduling, the first indication field is an information field dedicated to indicating the sleep state of the secondary carrier.

Optionally, the first indication field is configured by the high-level RRC, for example, the RRC parameter "Scell-groups-for-dormancy-within-active-time" is used to define the n carrier groups of the auxiliary carrier and which ones are included in each carrier group Auxiliary carrier. Among them, the n carrier groups correspond to the n bits of the first indication field one-to-one, and n is a positive integer. Optionally, the first indication field uses a bitmap to indicate the carrier grouping.

The second indication field can be referred to as a multiplexing indication field for short. In the case of DCI without data scheduling, the information field corresponding to the second indication field will be used to indicate the sleep state of the secondary carrier; in the case of DCI with data scheduling, the second indication field corresponds to The information field of will not be used to indicate the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier, but to indicate other information, such as: modulation and coding method information, new data indication information, redundancy version information, HARQ process number information, antenna port information and reference signals At least one of the initial parameter information. Correspondingly, the second indication field includes at least one of a modulation and coding scheme field, a new data indication field, a redundancy version field, a HARQ process number field, an antenna port field, and a reference signal initial parameter field. Wherein, when the DCI adopts the DCI format 1-1, the reference signal initial parameter information may be DMRS sequence initialization information, and the corresponding information field is a 1-bit DMRS sequence initialization field.

Exemplarily, referring to (a) in FIG. 6, the terminal receives the first DCI without data scheduling. The first DCI configuration has two indication fields: the first (newly added) indication field and the second (multiplexed) indication field. Wherein, the second indication field is a part of the information field in the existing information field of the first DCI.

Exemplarily, referring to (b) in FIG. 6, the terminal simultaneously receives the first DCI with data scheduling and the second DCI without data scheduling. The first DCI is configured with a first (newly added) indication field, and the second DCI is configured with a second (multiplexed) indication field. Wherein, the second indication field is a part of the information field in the existing information field of the second DCI.

Case 2: The first indication field is an information field dedicated to indicating the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier in the first DCI, and the second indication field is an information field dedicated to indicating the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier in the second DCI.

The first indication domain and the second indication domain are the same type of information domain, and this type of information domain may be referred to as a dedicated indication domain or a newly added indication domain for short. The first indicator field and the second indicator field are both information fields dedicated to indicating the sleep state of the secondary carrier in their respective DCIs, but the first indicator field and the second indicator field belong to different DCIs.

Optionally, the first indication field (or the second indication field) is configured by the higher-level RRC, for example: defining n carrier groups of the auxiliary carrier through the RRC parameter "Scell-groups-for-dormancy-within-active-time", and Which auxiliary carriers are included in each carrier group. Wherein, the n carrier groups correspond to the n bits of the first indicator field (or the second indicator field) in a one-to-one correspondence, and n is a positive integer. Optionally, the first indication field (or the second indication field) uses a bitmap to indicate the carrier grouping.

Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 7, the terminal simultaneously receives the first DCI with data scheduling and the second DCI with data scheduling. The first DCI is configured with a first (new) indication domain, and the second DCI is configured with a second (new) indication domain.

Case 3: The first indication field is the information field used to indicate the sleep state of the secondary carrier in the first DCI when the first DCI is DCI without data scheduling, and the second indication field is the information field used to indicate the sleep state of the secondary carrier in the second DCI. In the case of data-scheduled DCI, an information field used to indicate the sleep state of the secondary carrier in the second DCI.

The first indication domain and the second indication domain are the same type of information domain, and this type of information domain may be referred to as a multiplexing indication domain for short. The first indicator field and the second indicator field are both information fields used to indicate the sleep state of the secondary carrier in the DCI when the respective DCI is DCI without data scheduling, but the first indicator field and the second indicator field They belong to different DCIs.

Optionally, in the case that the first DCI (or the second DCI) is a DCI without data scheduling, the information field corresponding to the first indicator field (or the second indicator field) will be used to indicate the sleep state of the secondary carrier ; In the case that the first DCI (or the second DCI) is a DCI with data scheduling, the information field corresponding to the first indication field (or the second indication field) will not be used to indicate the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier, but It is used to indicate other information, such as at least one of modulation and coding mode information, new data indication information, redundancy version information, HARQ process number information, antenna port information, and reference signal initial parameter information. Correspondingly, the first indicator field (or the second indicator field) includes: at least one of the modulation and coding mode field, the new data indicator field, the redundancy version field, the HARQ process number field, the antenna port field, and the reference signal initial parameter field . Wherein, when the first DCI (or the second DCI) adopts the DCI format 1-1, the reference signal initial parameter information may be DMRS sequence initialization information, and the corresponding information field is a 1-bit DMRS sequence initialization field.

Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 8, the terminal simultaneously receives the first DCI without data scheduling and the second DCI without data scheduling. The first DCI is configured with a first (multiplexed) indication field, and the second DCI is configured with a second (multiplexed) indication field. The first indication field is a part of the information field in the existing information field of the first DCI, and the second indication field is a part of the information field in the existing information field of the second DCI.

For any of the above three situations, how to determine the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier, there are at least the following three methods:

Manner 1: The terminal preferentially determines the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier according to the indication of the first indication field.

Manner 2: The terminal preferentially determines the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier according to the indication of the second indication field.

Manner 3: The terminal determines the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier according to the instructions of the first indication field and the second indication field.

With reference to FIG. 9, FIG. 9 shows a flowchart of a sleep indication method for a secondary carrier provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application, and the method may be applied to the terminal 13 shown in FIG. 1. In this embodiment, step 520 is implemented as step 521 instead, corresponding to the above-mentioned way one; step 520 is implemented instead as step 522, which corresponds to the above-mentioned way two; step 520 is implemented instead as step 523, which corresponds to the above-mentioned way three.

For the above method one:

Step 521: In a case where the first indicator field exists in the at least one indicator field, determine the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier according to the first indicator field.

The first indicator field is present in the at least one indicator field, which may be the presence of at least one indicator field: the first indicator field and the second indicator field; it may be that only the first indicator field exists in the at least one indicator field. The terminal uses the first indication domain as the target indication domain, and determines the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier according to the first indication domain.

Exemplarily, for situation 1, the target indication field is the first indication field dedicated to indicating the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier in the DCI, and the terminal determines the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier according to the first indication field.

Exemplarily, for situation two: the target indication field is the first indication field dedicated to indicating the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier in the first DCI, and the terminal determines the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier according to the first indication field.

Exemplarily, for situation three: the target indication field is the first indication field used to indicate the sleep state of the secondary carrier in the first DCI when the first DCI is DCI without data scheduling, and the terminal according to the first indication The domain determines the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier.

In an optional embodiment, when the first indicator field does not exist in the at least one indicator field and the second indicator field exists, the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier is determined according to the second indicator field.

If the first indicator field does not exist in at least one indicator field, the terminal determines the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier according to the indication of the existing second indicator field.

Exemplarily, for case 1, the DCI (first DCI or second DCI) is not configured with the first indication field, and the target indication field is used to indicate the secondary carrier in the DCI when the DCI is a DCI without data scheduling. In the second indication field of the sleep state, the terminal determines the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier according to the second indication field.

Exemplarily, for situation two: the first DCI is not configured with the first indicator field, the target indicator field is the second indicator field dedicated to indicating the sleep state of the secondary carrier in the second DCI, and the terminal determines the secondary carrier according to the second indicator field Sleep state.

Exemplarily, for situation three: the first DCI is DCI with data scheduling, and the target indication field is used in the second DCI to indicate the sleep state of the secondary carrier when the second DCI is DCI without data scheduling. In the first indication field, the terminal determines the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier according to the second indication field.

For the above method two:

Step 522: In a case where a second indicator field exists in at least one indicator field, determine the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier according to the second indicator field.

The second indication domain is present in the at least one indication domain, which may be the presence of at least one indication domain: the first indication domain and the second indication domain; it may be that only the second indication domain exists in the at least one indication domain. The terminal uses the second indication domain as the target indication domain, and determines the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier according to the second indication domain.

Exemplarily, for case 1, the target indication field is the second indication field used to indicate the sleep state of the secondary carrier in the DCI when the DCI is DCI without data scheduling, and the terminal determines the secondary carrier according to the second indication field Sleep state.

Exemplarily, for situation two: the target indication field is a second indication field dedicated to indicating the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier in the second DCI, and the terminal determines the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier according to the second indication field.

Exemplarily, for situation three: the target indication field is the second indication field used to indicate the sleep state of the secondary carrier in the second DCI when the second DCI is DCI without data scheduling, and the terminal according to the second indication The domain determines the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier.

In an optional embodiment, in a case where the second indicator field does not exist in the at least one indicator field and the first indicator field exists, the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier is determined according to the first indicator field.

If the second indicator field does not exist in the at least one indicator field, the terminal determines the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier according to the indication of the existing first indicator field.

Exemplarily, for situation 1, DCI (first DCI or second DCI) is not configured with a second indicator field, and the target indicator field is the first indicator field dedicated to indicating the sleep state of the secondary carrier in the DCI, and the terminal is based on the first indicator field. The indicator field determines the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier.

Exemplarily, for situation 2: the second DCI is not configured with the second indication field, the target indication field is the first indication field dedicated to indicating the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier in the first DCI, and the terminal determines the auxiliary carrier according to the first indication field Sleep state.

Exemplarily, for situation three: the second DCI is a DCI with data scheduling, and the target indication field is used in the first DCI to indicate the sleep state of the secondary carrier when the first DCI is a DCI without data scheduling. In the first indication field, the terminal determines the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier according to the first indication field.

For the above method three:

Step 523: When the first indicator field and the second indicator field exist in the at least one indicator field, determine the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier according to the first indicator field and the second indicator field;

The sleep state of the auxiliary carrier indicated by the second indication field is the same as the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier indicated by the first indication field.

The first indicator field and the second indicator field exist in at least one indicator field, and the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier indicated by the second indicator field is the same as the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier indicated by the first indicator field. The terminal uses any one of the first indication domain and the second indication domain as the target indication domain, and determines the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier through the target indication domain.

In an optional embodiment, when the first indicator field and the second indicator field exist in at least one indicator field, the terminal does not expect to receive the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier and the second indicator indicated by the first indicator field. The sleep state of the auxiliary carrier indicated by the domain is different.

Since both the first indication field and the second indication field can be used to indicate the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier, the terminal needs to determine the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier according to the first indication field and the second indication field at the same time. The sleep state of the auxiliary carrier indicated by the domain is different from the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier indicated by the second indicator field. The terminal does not expect to receive the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier indicated by the first indicator field and the sleep state indicated by the second indicator field. The sleep state of the auxiliary carrier is different.

The method provided in this embodiment provides three different ways of determining the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier when the at least one indication field includes at least one of the first indication field and the second indication field, which improves the assistance The flexibility of the carrier's sleep indication method.

Regarding the second indication field in the above case one, the first indication field and the second indication field in the above case three, the terminal needs to determine whether the DCI to which the above indication field belongs is a DCI without data scheduling.

With reference to FIG. 10, FIG. 10 shows a flowchart of a method for determining whether a DCI is a DCI without data scheduling provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method may be applied to the terminal 13 shown in FIG. 1. This embodiment can be implemented alone or in combination with the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 9. The method includes:

Step 1010: Determine whether the DCI is a DCI without data scheduling according to the frequency domain resource indication field in the DCI.

Wherein, DCI is the first DCI or the second DCI.

The Frequency Domain Resource Allocation (FDRA) field is one of the information fields in the DCI. In the uplink scheduling authorization DCI (such as the DCI format 0-1 shown in Table 1), this information field is used to indicate the resources allocated for the terminal to transmit the physical uplink shared channel (PDSCH) on a component carrier Piece. In the downlink scheduling grant DCI (such as the DCI format 1-1 shown in Table 2), this information field is used to indicate which resource blocks of the component carrier the PDSCH that the terminal needs to receive is allocated on. Among them, the component carrier is one of the carriers aggregated in the carrier aggregation scenario.

The terminal determines whether the DCI is a DCI without data scheduling through the FDRA field in the DCI.

In a possible implementation manner, when the resource allocation type of the BWP corresponding to the secondary carrier is the first type, and the bits in the frequency domain resource indicator field are all 0, the terminal determines that the DCI is scheduled without data. DCI.

In another possible implementation manner, when the resource allocation type of the BWP corresponding to the secondary carrier is the second type, and the bits in the frequency domain resource indicator field are all 1, the terminal determines that the DCI is dataless scheduling DCI.

Among them, the first type and the second type are two different resource allocation types, the first type is a mode of allocation based on a bitmap, and the second type does not depend on a bitmap.

In summary, the method provided in this embodiment provides a method for determining whether the DCI is a DCI without data scheduling, and then the terminal can determine whether there is the second indication field in the above case 1 and the above case 3 according to the method. In the first indication field and the second indication field in, the target indication field is selected based on the judgment result, which ensures the accuracy of the sleep indication method of the auxiliary carrier.

Step 530: Activate the sleep state of the corresponding BWP according to the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier.

The mechanism for NR to adjust the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier is: by switching to the sleep BWP or the non-sleep BWP, correspondingly, a certain auxiliary carrier enters the sleep state or the non-sleep state. After determining the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier, if a certain auxiliary carrier is switched from a non-sleep state to a sleep state, the terminal activates the sleep state of the BWP corresponding to the auxiliary carrier; if a certain auxiliary carrier is switched from a sleep state to a non-sleep state , The terminal adjusts the BWP corresponding to the auxiliary carrier to a non-sleep state.

Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 12, in the Active Time of DRX, the terminal dynamically adjusts the sleep state on a secondary carrier through a DCI on the primary carrier. Wherein, the DCI is configured with at least one indication field, and the DCI may schedule data of the primary carrier or not schedule data of the primary carrier.

If it is determined that the secondary carrier is converted to the sleep state through one less target indicator field in the indicator field, the sleep BWP is activated, and the terminal monitors the PDCCH during the time period corresponding to the sleep BWP; if one less target indicator field in the indicator field is passed, It is determined that the auxiliary carrier is converted to the non-sleep state, and then it is switched to the non-sleep BWP, and the terminal does not monitor the PDCCH during the time period corresponding to the non-sleep BWP.

In summary, in the method provided in this embodiment, the terminal realizes the adjustment of the sleep state of the auxiliary carrier by activating the sleep state of the BWP corresponding to the auxiliary carrier.
