The method, device, terminal and network-side equipment provided by the embodiments of the present application for monitoring paging advance indications provided in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below through some embodiments and application scenarios with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is one of the schematic flow diagrams of the method for monitoring the paging advance indication provided by the embodiment of the present application. The method for monitoring the paging advance indication includes the following steps:

Step 200, when the first condition is satisfied, the terminal skips the monitoring of the PEI of the paging advance indication.

Wherein, the first condition includes at least one of the following:

Firstly, the paging advance indication PEI is introduced.

For UEs in the idle/inactive state, radio resource management (Radio resource management, RRM) measurement and paging paging physical downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH) reception is required. Paging PDCCH is used for paging-wireless Network Temporary Identity (Paging Radio Network Temporary Identity, P-RNTI) carries out Cyclic redundancy check (Cyclic redundancy check, CRC) scrambled PDCCH. Since the probability that there is a paged UE in a PO is not high, so if The UE performs paging PDCCH detection every paging cycle, which will cause unnecessary power consumption.

In order to reduce terminal power consumption, it has been agreed that UE receives PEI before receiving paging PDCCH. The PEI is downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI). The UE judges whether to monitor the subsequent paging PDCCH according to the content indicated in the Paging Advance Indication PEI DCI. The UE can judge whether it needs to receive paging PDCCH in advance according to the PEI. If the PEI indicates that the UE does not receive the paging PDCCH, the UE does not need to detect one or more synchronization signal blocks (Synchronization Signal and PBCH Block, SSB), thereby saving power consume.

After the PEI is introduced, the solution for the terminal to monitor paging becomes: the terminal monitors the PEI before each PO, and judges whether to monitor the subsequent paging PDCCH according to the indication content of the PEI.

However, during the modification period, when the system information is changed, the network side device will repeatedly send paging to the terminal to indicate the change of the system information, and the paging probability is high at this time. When the paging probability is high, using the PEI will not bring energy saving gain, but will cause the terminal to consume extra energy to monitor the PEI.

For ease of understanding, the modification period is introduced below.

After the network side device sends the system information (System Information, SI) change indication (notification), it broadcasts the updated SI message in the next modification period (except carrying Earthquake and Tsunami Warning System (ETWS), commercial mobile alarm System (commercial mobile alert system, CMAS) and SI message of positioning assistance data).

The boundary system frame number (System Frame Number, SFN) of the Modification period is SFN mod m=0, where m is the number of radio frames including the modification period. The Modification period is configured by the network side device.

The UE uses the DCI scrambled by the P-RNTI to transmit a short message (short message), which carries an indication of SI modification and/or PWS (Public Warning System, public warning system) notification.

In the previous modification period, the network may repeatedly send SI change indications. The UE in RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE will monitor the SI change indication on its own PO in each discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle. If the UE in the RRC_CONNECTED state is in the active bandwidth part (Bandwidth part, BWP) provides a public search space, including pagingSearchSpace, searchSpaceSIB1 and searchSpaceOtherSystemInformation, then at least one SI change notification will be monitored in each modification period, which can be monitored on any PO.

Therefore, the embodiment of the present application proposes that during the modification period, the UE may skip PEI monitoring.

In one embodiment of the present application, when the terminal receives the system information change indication information (that is, the second indication information), the terminal skips the paging advance indication PEI monitoring, in other words, the terminal receives the system information change indication information, It means that the network side device will repeatedly send paging to the terminal. At this time, the paging probability is high, and the terminal will not monitor the PEI in the future, but will directly monitor the paging, thus saving the power consumption of the terminal.

The terminal receives the system information change indication information, which can be realized in the following ways:

Mode 1: The paging physical downlink control channel PDCCH is received, and the paging PDCCH carries system information change indication information;

First, the paging PDCCH is introduced.

The UE uses the short Message Indicator and short Message on DCI format1_0 scrambled by P-RNTI to indicate at least one of the following: system information change, ETWS/CMAS notification, physical downlink shared channel (Physical downlink shared channel, PDSCH) scheduling information. Among them, 2bit is used in DCI format 1_0 to represent Short Message Indicator, and the specific meaning is shown in Table 1:

Table 1 Short Message indicator

DCI format 1_0 uses 8bit to represent Short Message, and the specific meaning is shown in Table 2:

Table 2 Short Messages

It can be understood that the systemInfoModification in the short message received by the terminal from the paging PDCCH is 1, indicating that the network side device indicates system information modification.

Mode 2, the PEI is detected and the PEI indicates system information change;

It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the PEI carries an indication of system information change.

Optionally, the terminal monitors the PEI and the PEI indicates system information change, which can be understood as:

The terminal monitors the paging PDCCH on the PO corresponding to the PEI, and the paging PDCCH carries system information change indication information; or,

The terminal learns that the system information has changed by monitoring the PEI, and the terminal does not need to monitor the PO corresponding to the PEI.

It should be noted that when the terminal receives the system information change indication information, the terminal will no longer monitor PEI during the remaining time of the current modification period, and after the current modification period expires, the UE will resume PEI monitoring in the next modification period.

A specific example is given below to further illustrate the method for monitoring the paging advance indication provided by the embodiment of the present application, including:

Step 1: The UE receives the PEI configuration information sent by the network side device;

Step 2: The UE monitors the PEI on the corresponding PEI occasion according to the PEI configuration information;

Step 3: UE finds that PEI instructs UE to monitor, then UE monitors paging PDCCH on the PO corresponding to PEI, and paging PDCCH carries SI change notification, that is, systemInfoModification in short message is 1, then UE is in the remaining time of the current modification period , no longer monitor PEI, directly monitor paging PDCCH on its corresponding PO;

Step 4: UE resumes PEI monitoring in the next modification period.

In some optional embodiments, the network-side device may also explicitly instruct the terminal to skip the subsequent PEI monitoring. In other words, the terminal skips the subsequent PEI monitor. This can be achieved in several ways:

Manner 1, the terminal receives first indication information, where the first indication information is used to indicate to skip PEI monitoring.

In this scenario, the UE needs another indication information for instructing to resume PEI monitoring.

Step 3: The UE receives the first indication information, the UE no longer monitors the PEI, and directly monitors the paging PDCCH on its corresponding PO;

Step 4: The UE receives the third indication information sent by the network, and the UE resumes PEI monitoring.

Mode 2, the terminal receives first indication information, where the first indication information is used to indicate to skip PEI monitoring within the first duration;

It should be noted that the first duration may be a preconfigured or predefined duration, and may also be indicated by the first indication information.

In this scenario, the UE resumes PEI monitoring after the first duration expires.

In one embodiment, when the terminal receives the first indication information, the terminal starts a timer, and the running time of the timer is determined according to the first duration. During the running of the timer, the terminal skips PEI monitoring, After the timer expires, the terminal resumes PEI monitoring.

Step 1: The UE receives the PEI configuration information sent by the network-side device. In addition, the UE receives the first duration configured by the network-side device or the first duration is a pre-configured or predefined duration;

Step 4: The first time expires, and the UE resumes PEI detection.

Mode 3, the terminal receives a preset duration, and the preset duration is used to instruct the terminal to skip the PEI monitoring duration.

In this scenario, the UE resumes PEI monitoring after the preset time period expires.

In one embodiment, when the terminal receives a preset duration, the terminal starts a timer, and the running time of the timer is determined according to the preset duration. During the running of the timer, the terminal skips PEI monitoring, and After the timer expires, the terminal resumes PEI monitoring.

Step 3: After receiving the preset duration, the UE no longer monitors the PEI, but directly monitors the paging PDCCH on its corresponding PO;

Step 4: The second time expires, and the UE resumes PEI monitoring.

In some embodiments, the terminal skips the paging advance indication PEI monitoring, including:

The paging opportunity PO in each discontinuous reception DRX cycle monitors paging.

It can be understood that, when the above first condition is satisfied, the terminal monitors paging on the paging opportunity PO of the terminal in each subsequent discontinuous reception DRX cycle.

Wherein, the first signaling includes one of the following: paging PDCCH; paging message; PEI; PEI configuration information; system information block 1 (System Information block 1, SIB1); radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC ) dedicated signaling.

Wherein, the second condition includes at least one of the following:

The modification period of the SI expires;

The timer expires, the running time of the timer is determined according to the preset duration, and the paging is skipped during the running of the timer to indicate PEI monitoring in advance;

The third indication information is received, where the third indication information is used to indicate to resume PEI monitoring.

It can be understood that the modification period of the SI expires, that is, the current modification period expires, indicating that the paging indicated by the system information change has been completed. At this time, the terminal can resume PEI monitoring in the next modification period.

In an embodiment, the terminal receives first indication information, where the first indication information is used to indicate to skip PEI monitoring within a first duration, and when the first duration expires, the terminal resumes PEI monitoring.

In one embodiment, the terminal skips the PEI monitoring after receiving the preset duration, and resumes the PEI monitoring when the second duration expires;

In an embodiment, the terminal receives first indication information, wherein the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal to skip PEI monitoring, and when the third indication information is received, the third indication information is used to indicate If PEI monitoring is resumed, the terminal resumes PEI monitoring.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the above second condition is satisfied, the terminal can resume PEI monitoring, so that the terminal can continue to monitor the PEI to save power consumption of the terminal, and improve the flexibility of PEI monitoring.

In some embodiments, before the terminal skips the paging advance indication PEI monitoring when the first condition is met, the method further includes:

The terminal receives the fourth indication information sent by the network side device;

Wherein, the fourth indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

The network side device supports skipping PEI monitoring;

The network side device supports skipping PEI monitoring within the preset time period.

It can be understood that before the terminal obtains the relevant indication information indicating skipping PEI monitoring and skipping paging early indication PEI monitoring, the network side device sends information that it supports skipping PEI monitoring to the terminal, which can make the terminal flexibly Monitor PEI.

In some embodiments, the terminal has a first capability, and the first capability includes that the terminal supports PEI interception and skips PEI interception.
