In order to facilitate understanding, the concepts involved in this application are first explained.

Mobile Network, PLMN) network equipment, etc. in the network.

The network equipment involved in the embodiments of the present application may also be referred to as a radio access network (Radio Access Network, RAN) equipment. The RAN device is connected with the terminal device, and is used to receive data from the terminal device and send it to the core network device. RAN equipment corresponds to different equipment in different communication systems, for example, it corresponds to base station and base station controller in 2G system, corresponds to base station and radio network controller (RNC) in 3G system, and corresponds to evolution in 4G system Evolutional Node B (eNB) corresponds to 5G system in 5G system, such as access network equipment in NR (for example, gNB, centralized unit CU, distributed unit DU).

In the following, with reference to FIG. 1, the applicable scenarios of the communication method in this application will be described.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a communication scenario provided by an embodiment of the application. Refer to Fig. 1, which includes a network device 101 and a terminal device 102, and wireless communication can be performed between the network device 101 and the terminal device 102.

Among them, the network including the network device 101 and the terminal device 102 can also be called a non-terrestrial communication network (Non-Terrestrial Network, NTN), where NTN refers to the communication between the terminal device and the satellite (also called the network device) The internet.

It is understandable that the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application can be applied to New Radio (NR) communication technology. NR refers to a new generation of wireless access network technology, which can be applied to future evolution networks, such as the fifth generation in the future. In the mobile communication (the 5th Generation Mobile Communication, 5G) system. The solutions in the embodiments of this application can also be applied to other wireless communication networks such as Wireless Fidelity (WIFI) and Long Term Evolution (LTE), and the corresponding names can also be used in other wireless communication networks. The name of the function is substituted.

The network architecture and business scenarios described in the embodiments of this application are intended to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and do not constitute a limitation to the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application. Those of ordinary skill in the art will know that with the network With the evolution of architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application are equally applicable to similar technical problems.

In order to reduce the power consumption of terminal equipment, the NR system supports discontinuous reception (DRX) for terminal equipment. Among them, DRX means that when there is no data transmission, the receiving circuit of the terminal equipment can be turned off to reduce power consumption, such as non-continuous reception. Continuously monitor the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for data transmission.

The DRX cycle (DRX cycle) can be preset by the network device, and a DRX cycle includes an active period (On Duration) and an inactive period. The terminal device monitors the PDCCH during the active period, and the terminal device does not monitor the PDCCH during the inactive period. In the following, the DRX cycle will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a DRX cycle provided by an embodiment of the application. Please refer to Figure 2. The DRX cycle includes an active period and an inactive period.

When the terminal device is in the active period, the terminal device enters the wake-up state to monitor and receive the PDCCH, or perform related measurements. If the received PDCCH indicates the data sent by the network device to the terminal device, the terminal device will be in the specified time and frequency Receiving data at the location.

When the terminal device is in the inactive period, the terminal device enters the dormant state and does not monitor the PDCCH.

Among them, if the period of the set activation period is short, it may cause the terminal device to frequently perform PDCCH detection; if the period of the set activation period is long, it may cause the terminal device to fail to receive data in time.

Regardless of whether there is currently a PDCCH that needs to be received, the terminal device will perform data detection during the activation period. However, when there is no data to receive, the terminal device performs data detection, which will increase the power consumption of the terminal device.

In response to the above problems, this application proposes the following technical idea: by sending indication information to indicate whether the PDCCH needs to be received in the current activation period, so that when there is no data to receive, the terminal device does not need to perform data detection during the activation period. To reduce the energy consumption of terminal equipment.

Based on the above introduction, how to configure the instruction information is particularly important. The information processing method provided in the embodiment of this application will give a detailed introduction on how the instruction information is configured. The following is first described with reference to FIG. 3, which is this application. One of the embodiments provides a flow chart of the information processing method.

As shown in Figure 3, the method includes:

S301. Receive first configuration information, where the first configuration information is used to indicate a time range and at least one first resource.

In this embodiment, the first configuration information may be from a network device, or the first configuration information may also be from other terminal devices, which is not limited in this embodiment.

Among them, the first configuration information is used to indicate the time range, and the time range is used to define the specific time period within which the first information is received. In a possible implementation, the time range may be, for example, a preset duration before a certain time. The corresponding time range; or, the time range can also be a time range composed of a first time interval and a second time interval at a certain moment.

And, the first configuration information in this embodiment may also be used to indicate at least one first resource, where the first resource may include at least one of the following: time domain resources, frequency domain resources, and beam resources, that is, The first resource in this embodiment is used to indicate a specific location to receive the first information, where the number of specifically configured first resources can be selected according to actual needs, which is not limited in this embodiment.

S302. According to the first configuration information, receive first information on a first resource within a time range, where the first information is used to indicate whether there is a PDCCH to be received.

In this embodiment, the at least one first resource described above may be located in the time range, or may not be located in the time range. This embodiment does not limit this, and it depends on how the first configuration information is set.

Wherein, when the terminal device receives the first information, it may receive the first information on the first resource within the time range.

In a possible implementation manner, there may be only one first resource within the time range, and the terminal device may directly receive the first information on the first resource;

In another possible implementation manner, at least two first resources may exist within the time range, and the terminal device may receive the first information on the first resource that first meets the preset condition.

Wherein, the preset condition may include at least one of the following: time priority, primary carrier priority, and associated beam priority, where time priority can be, for example, time first, primary carrier priority can be, for example, primary carrier first, and associated beam Priority can use the same beam-related resources for SSB reception.

In a possible implementation manner, the preset condition may also be indicated in the form of signaling.

In this embodiment, the first information is used to indicate whether there is a PDCCH to be received. If the first information indicates that there is a PDCCH to be received, the terminal device detects and receives the PDCCH in the current active period; if the first information indicates that there is no PDCCH If there is a PDCCH to be received, the terminal device does not perform data detection during the current activation period. The first information may be, for example, downlink control information (DCI) information, or may also be a system information block (system information block). , SIB) information, this embodiment does not limit the implementation of the first information, as long as it can be used to indicate whether there is currently a PDCCH to be received.

Through the indication of the first information, the terminal device can determine whether to perform PDCCH detection during the current activation period, which can effectively save the energy consumption of the terminal device.

The information processing method provided by the embodiment of the present application includes: receiving first configuration information, where the first configuration information is used to indicate a time range and at least one first resource. According to the first configuration information, the first information is received on the first resource within the time range, where the first information is used to indicate whether there is a PDCCH to be received. By receiving the first information according to the first configuration information, it is possible to determine whether there is a PDCCH to be received according to the first information, so that when there is no data to receive, there is no need to perform data detection, so as to effectively reduce the energy consumption of the terminal device.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, it can be understood that the terminal device can detect and receive the PDCCH according to a preset cycle. In a possible implementation manner, the terminal device can receive the second configuration information, where the second configuration The information is used to indicate the second resource for receiving the PDCCH, that is, the terminal device can determine according to the second resource at which time-frequency position in the active period to perform PDCCH detection and reception.

Hereinafter, a possible implementation of PDCCH detection by a current terminal device will be introduced with reference to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the implementation of PDCCH detection by a terminal device according to an embodiment of the application.

Referring to Figure 4, assuming that the terminal device is currently configured with the active and inactive periods shown in Figure 4, the terminal device can perform data detection during the active period, but the terminal device performs blind detection when performing data detection, in order to instruct the terminal to perform Upon receiving, the network device may also send second configuration information to the terminal device, and the second configuration information indicates to send the second resource of the PDCCH, so that the terminal device can perform blind detection only on the second resource.

For example, the second resource indicated by the second configuration information includes time domain resources and frequency domain resources. In a possible implementation manner, the location of the second resource may be as shown in the gray part in FIG. Period, the PDCCH is detected at the time-frequency position corresponding to the second resource in the active period.

At present, if a PDCCH is detected, the terminal device can receive other data or perform corresponding action instructions according to the instructions of the PDCCH; if there is no PDCCH to receive at this time, the terminal device also needs to perform the PDCCH according to the second resource indicated by the second configuration information Detection, there is additional energy consumption at this time.

Based on this, this embodiment proposes the first information for indicating the PDCCH to be received, so that when there is no data to receive, the terminal device does not need to perform data detection. In this embodiment, the first information in the time range can be The first information is received on a resource. A possible implementation of the time range will be described below with reference to FIG. 5. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a possible implementation of the time range provided in an embodiment of this application.

In this embodiment, the first time information and the second time information may be used to indicate the time range, where the first time range is used to indicate the first time interval between the first resource and the second resource, and the second time range is used to indicate The second time interval of the first resource and the second resource, where the first time interval and the second time interval may collectively indicate the time range in this embodiment.

It is understandable that the time domain location of the second resource may be indicated by the second configuration information, so the time domain location of the second resource may be fixed.

Therefore, the time position corresponding to the second time interval of the second resource and the time position corresponding to the first time interval of the second resource can constitute a time range, and the first resource within the time range can be used for Receive the first message.

In this embodiment, the first time interval and the second time interval indicate the time range, which can effectively ensure the validity of the first information indicating whether there is a PDCCH to be received, where the first time interval can limit the detection of the second information Complexity, the second time interval can ensure that the detection of data does not exceed the detection capability of the terminal device.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the first configuration information in this application may indicate at least one first resource. In a possible implementation manner, there may be only one first resource within the time range, which is described below with reference to FIG. 6 , FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a first resource in the time range provided by an embodiment of this application.

Referring to Figure 6, suppose that in the current activation period, there are two first resources before the time domain location corresponding to the second resource, but within the time range composed of the first time interval and the second time interval, there is only one first resource , The first information is detected and received on the first resource within the time range, so as to determine whether to detect the PDCCH on the second resource according to the indication of the first information.

At the same time, referring to FIG. 6, there are still some time domain locations corresponding to the first resources that are not within the time range, and the first information cannot be received on these first resources.

In another possible implementation manner, there may be at least two first resources within the time range, which will be described below with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the existence of at least two first resources within the time range provided by an embodiment of this application .

Referring to Figure 7, suppose that in the current activation period, there are three first resources before the second resource, and these three first resources are all within the time range composed of the first time interval and the second time interval, that is to say, these three If all of the first resources meet the condition, the detection and reception of the first information can be performed on the first resource with the earliest time, so that the PDCCH is received or not received according to the indication of the first information.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, it can be understood that the first configuration information may indicate a plurality of first resources. In a possible implementation manner, the first resource may be configured periodically, and in combination with the introduction of the foregoing embodiment It can be determined that the second resource is also periodically configured, where the period of the first resource and the period of the second resource may be the same or different, and this embodiment does not limit this.

The content introduced in the above embodiments in FIG. 5 to FIG. 7 are all described using one cycle as an example, and the implementation of the rest of the cycles is similar, and will not be repeated in this embodiment.

In another possible implementation manner, the terminal device does not receive the first information within the time range. The following is an explanation with reference to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9. FIG. The first schematic diagram of the resource. FIG. 9 is the second schematic diagram when the first resource does not exist within the time range provided by the embodiment of the application.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, each first resource is not within the time range; or, as shown in FIG. 9, there is no first resource within the current activation period. In either case, the terminal device currently does not receive the first resource. One information.

At this time, the terminal device may determine whether to receive the PDCCH according to a preset rule, where the preset rule may be, for example, receiving by default, or not receiving by default, or receiving at a preset number of cycles by default; or the preset rule may also be used The reception results of the previous cycle, etc., are not particularly limited in this embodiment, and the specific implementation of the preset rule can be selected according to actual needs.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the settings of the first time interval and the second time interval in this embodiment may be related to the capabilities of the terminal device; or, may also be related to the SCS parameters of the BWP where the first information is located; or It can also be related to the type of the terminal device/the reported parameter of the terminal device.

The setting of the first time interval and the second time interval will be described below by taking the SCS parameter as an example, and will be described with reference to FIG. 10, which is a schematic diagram of setting the time interval provided by an embodiment of the application.

Referring to Figure 10, suppose there are currently BWP1 and BWP2, where the parameter of BWP1 is SCS1, the parameter of BWP2 is SCS2, the first time interval T1 and the second time interval T2 are set for SCS1, and the first time interval T1 is set for SCS2. As with the second time interval T2', it can be seen from FIG. 10 that the lengths of T1 and T1' are different, and the lengths of T2 and T2' are also different.

Among them, how to set the specific first time interval and the second time interval can be configured according to actual needs.

Then the terminal device can make a self-selection according to the BWP where the first information is located. For example, the current terminal device selects the first information corresponding to BWP1, and the first information can be used to indicate whether there is a PDCCH to be received in BWP2, for example.

In a possible implementation manner, the configuration unit of the first time interval and/or the second time interval is milliseconds (ms), and the terminal can calculate the number of time slots or symbols related to the time interval according to the SCS parameters used by the BWP , Use the number of time slots or the number of symbols to determine the position of the time-frequency signal for receiving the first information.

In another possible implementation manner, the configuration unit of the first time interval and/or the second time interval is the number of time slots, and the terminal needs to refer to the SCS according to the BWP related to the configuration parameters, and determine the location based on the SCS of the controlled BWP. The number of time slots or the number of symbols on the controlled BWP, and the number of time slots or the number of symbols is used to determine the position of the time-frequency signal for receiving the first information.

And, the first time interval and the second time interval can also be set according to the capabilities of the terminal device. The capabilities of the terminal device are used to measure the degree of satisfaction of the terminal device to the user’s needs. Capabilities, where the capabilities of the terminal device may include, for example, at least one of the following: data rate, transmission bandwidth, modulation mode, number of antennas, minimum time for state switching, and so on.

Assuming that there are currently a first terminal device and a second terminal device, a first time interval t1 and a second time interval t2 can be set for the first terminal device, and a first time interval t1` and a second time interval t1` and a second time interval can be set for the second terminal device. Time interval t2`, assuming that the lengths of t1 and t1` are different, the lengths of t2 and t2` are also different.

And, the first time interval and the second time interval can also be set according to the type of the terminal device. The type of the terminal device can be, for example, a category divided according to the characteristics of the device, such as a terminal device used for personal mobile services. Terminal equipment for in-vehicle equipment, terminal equipment for Internet of Things equipment, etc. These different terminal devices can be connected to the same network, and the system configures different parameters according to the corresponding device types.
