具体实施方式
这里将详细地对示例性实施例进行说明,其示例表示在附图中。下面的描述涉及附图时,除非另有表示,不同附图中的相同数字表示相同或相似的要素。以下示例性实施例中所描述的实施方式并不代表与本公开实施例相一致的所有实施方式。相反,它们仅是与如所附权利要求书中所详述的、本公开实施例的一些方面相一致的装置和方法的例子。
在本公开实施例使用的术语是仅仅出于描述特定实施例的目的,而非旨在限制本公开实施例。在本公开实施例和所附权利要求书中所使用的单数形式的“一种”和“该”也旨在包括多数形式,除非上下文清楚地表示其他含义。还应当理解,本文中使用的术语“和/或”是指并包含一个或多个相关联的列出项目的任何或所有可能组合。
应当理解,尽管在本公开实施例可能采用术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”等来描述各种信息,但这些信息不应限于这些术语。这些术语仅用来将同一类型的信息彼此区分开。例如,在不脱离本公开实施例范围的情况下,“第一信息”也可以被称为“第二信息”,类似地,“第二信息”也可以被称为“第一信息”。取决于语境,如在此所使用的词语“如果”可以被解释成为“在……时”或“当……时”或“响应于确定”。
本公开实施例提供一种通信系统。该通信系统可以为采用蜂窝移动通信技术的通信系统。图1为本 公开实施例中的一种通信系统的结构示意图,参见图1所示,该通信系统10可以包括:终端设备11和网络设备12。
在一实施例中,上述终端设备11可以为一种向用户提供语音或者数据连接性的设备。在一些实施例中,终端设备也可以称为用户设备(user equipment,UE)、移动台(mobile station)、用户单元(subsriber unit)、站台(station)或者终端(terminal equipment,TE)等。终端设备可以为蜂窝电话(cellular phone)、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、无线调制解调器(modem)、手持设备(handheld)、膝上型电脑(laptop computer)、无绳电话(cordless phone)、无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)台或者平板电脑(pad)等。随着无线通信技术的发展,可以接入通信系统、可以与通信系统的网络侧进行通信或者通过通信系统与其他设备进行通信的设备都是本公开实施例中的终端设备。例如,智能交通中的终端和汽车、智能家居中的家用设备、智能电网中的电力抄表仪器、电压监测仪器、环境监测仪器、智能完全网络中的视频监控仪器、收款机等。在本公开实施例中,终端设备可以与网络设备进行通信,多个终端设备之间也可以进行通信。终端设备可以是静态固定的,也可以移动的。
上述网络设备12可以为接入网侧用于支持终端接入通信系统的设备。例如,可以是4G接入技术通信系统中的演进型基站(evolved NodeB,eNB)、5G接入技术通信系统中的下一代基站(next generation nodeB,gNB)、发送接收点(transmission reception point,TRP)、中继节点(relay node)、接入点(access point,AP)等。
在3GPP R16的省电项目中针对处于连接态的终端设备,引入了省电信号,即WUS,也可以称为唤醒信号;其中WUS为一种低功耗的检测信号。若终端设备检测到WUS,则意味着终端设备需要进行PDCCH的监听,但是若没有检测到WUS,则终端设备可以跳过(skip)部分PDCCH的监听。后来在R17的省电项目中,针对空闲态非连续接收(discontinuous reception,DRX)场景中,省电信号(如寻呼提前指示(paging early indication,PEI,)通常配置在寻呼机会(pagingoccasion,PO)前面,若终端设备没有检测到省电信号,则需要skip寻呼DCI,否则需要对寻呼DCI进行监听。在R17中针对处于连接态终端设备又进行了增强,引入了PDCCH skipping机制,即PDCCH skipping将承载在DCI中通知终端设备跳过一段时间的监听或者进行搜索空间组的切换。可见,在R16或者R17的省电项目中,无论何种省电信号,此时都需要终端设备的基带芯片(modem)进行省电信号的检测。这里,术语“承载”也可以描述为“携带”。
在R18中,为了进一步节约功耗,终端设备可以增加一个接收机,该接收机专用于接收省电信号。图2为本公开实施例中的一种终端设备的结构示意图,参见图2所示,终端设备11可以包括第一接收机111、第二接收机112及处理器113。其中,第一接收机111为主接收机(main receiver),用于接收来自网络设备或者其他终端设备的控制信息和/或上下行数据,第二接收机112为低功耗唤醒接收器(low power wake-up receiver),用于接收唤醒信号。示例性的,第一接收机111可以为终端设备上的基带芯片(modem)或者主无线(main radio)部分。第一接收机111可以为一个或者多个。当第一接收机111是多个时,每个第一接收机111所处频段可以相同,也可以不同。
那么,结合图2所示的终端设备,对于连接态(RRC-connected)的终端设备在第二接收机112检测到WUS后,唤醒第一接收机111,此时,该终端设备从睡眠状态醒来,对PDCCH进行监听。在本 公开实施例中,为了节省功耗,第一接收机111在完成对PDCCH的监听或者结束与网络设备的数据传输后,需要再次进入睡眠状态,此时,终端设备如何进入睡眠状态是一个亟待解决的问题。
为了解决上述问题,本公开实施例提供一种通信方法,该通信方法方法可以应用于上述一个或者多个实施例所述的终端设备(如UE)中。在本公开实施例中,UE处于连接态。
图3为本公开实施例中的第一种通信方法的实施流程示意图,参见图3中实线所示,该通信方法可以包括:
S301,UE接收网络设备发送的指示信息;
其中,指示信息用于指示UE关闭第一接收机。可选的,该指示信息还可以指示UE开启第二接收机。
在一些可能的实施方式中,第一接收机作为主接收机,用于接收下行控制信息和/或下行传输数据;第二接收机为低功耗唤醒接收器(ultra-low power wake-up receiver),专用于接收唤醒信号(WUS)。当第二接收机接收到唤醒信号后,唤醒第一接收机。其中,唤醒信号(WUS)也可以称之为省电信号(power saving signal),或者名为其他名字。
应理解的,为了提高传输资源利用率、增强系统鲁棒性、提升系统性能、降低系统功耗等,网络设备可以指示处于连接态的UE中的部分或者全部UE进入睡眠状态。此时,网络设备可以向选择的UE发送指示信息,以指示该UE的第一接收机关闭,使得UE进入睡眠状态。
在本公开实施例中,第一接收机可以为多个,那么,S301中,网络设备可以指示多个第一接收机中的至少一个关闭。应理解的,网络设备可以指示UE关闭部分或者全部第一接收机。示例性的,假设UE为双DRX UE(即UE包括配置了DRX功能的两个第一接收机),那么,网络设备可以指示UE关闭其中一个第一接收机或者同时关闭两个第一接收机。
S302,UE关闭第一接收机。
应理解的,UE在通过S301接收到上述指示信息后,为了节省功耗,响应指示信息,关闭第一接收机。
在实际应用中,上述S302可以包括:S302a和/或S302b。在S301之后,UE可以执行S302a和S302b中的一个或者多个。可以理解的是,本公开实施例不对302a和302b执行先后顺序做限定。
在一实施例中,UE在接收到指示信息之后,可以立即响应指示信息。那么,在S301之后,UE执行S302a,即UE停止正在执行的接入层操作,并关闭第一接收机。此时UE立即进入睡眠状态。
在另一实施例中,UE在接收到指示信息之后,可以延迟响应指示信息。那么,在S301之后,UE执行S302b,即UE在接入层操作执行完毕后,关闭第一接收机。
在又一实施例中,UE在接收到指示信息之后,可以立即停止正在执行的一部分接入层操作,同时等待另一部分接入层操作执行完毕,然后再关闭第一接收机。
需要说明的是,上述接入层操作,即为UE的接入层(access stratum,AS)的操作。示例性的,AS可以包括:MAC层、RLC层以及PDCP层,相应的,AS的操作可以包括以下操作中的一个或者多个:用于随机接入的操作、用于调度请求的操作、用于BWP切换的操作、用于波束恢复的操作、用于切换的操作、用于RRC连接重建的操作、用于正在进行数据传输的操作、用于等待网络反馈的操 作以及用于等待重传数据调度的操作。应理解的,UE执行S302b时,可以先执行MAC实体重置或释放、RLC实体重建或者释放以及PDCP实体重建或者释放中的一个或者多个操作,并在这些操作执行完毕后,关闭第一接收机。
在一些可能的实施方式中,针对于上述S302b,AS的操作可以包括以下操作中的一个或者多个:MAC实体进行重置或释放、RLC实体进行重建或者释放以及PDCP实体重建或者释放。应理解的,UE执行S302b时,可以先执行MAC实体重置或释放、RLC实体重建或者释放以及PDCP实体重建或者释放中的一个或者多个操作,并在这些操作执行完毕后,关闭第一接收机。
在一些可能的实施方式中,在S301之后,UE可以根据协议规定确定执行S302a和S302b中的一个或者多个;或者,UE可以根据网络设备的指示确定执行S302a和S302b中的一个或者多个;再者,UE可以根据自身当前执行的AS操作自行确定执行S302a和S302b中的一个或者多个。当然,UE还可以根据其他方式确定执行S302a和S302b中的一个或者多个,本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。
在实际应用中,响应于UE根据网络设备的指示确定执行S302a和S302b中的一个或者多个,UE还可以接收网络设备发送的配置信息,该配置信息用于指示UE再S301之后执行S302a和S302b中的一个或者多个。示例性的,网络设备可以通过高层信令,如RRC信令、MAC控制单元(control element,CE)向UE发送上述配置信息,以向UE指示执行S302a和S302b中的一个或者多个。
在一些可能的实施方式中,在S302之后,UE还可以向网络设备发送应答消息,以告知网络设备UE关闭第一接收机。可选的,UE还可以通过应答消息具体向网络设备告知UE通过执行S302a和/或S302b关闭第一接收机,使得网络设备也能够同步对UE对应的定时器和/或计数器进行操作。
在实际应用中,上述应答消息可以为RRC层消息、RLC状态报告、MAC消息或者物理层的消息(如HARQ ACK反馈)等,本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。
作为一种实施例,若网络设备没有收到应答消息可以认为UE没有生效(也可以描述为忽略、未响应、未生效等。)S301中的指示信息。
作为另一种实施例,若网络设备没有收到应答消息,则网络设备可以认为UE生效S301中的指示信息;反之,若网络设备收到应答消息,则网络设备可以认为UE给出了用于表示没有生效上述指示信息的否定确认(如NACK)。
在一些可能的实施方式中,在S302之前,UE还可以对AS定时器和AS计数器中的一个或者多个进行预设操作,并在预设操作结束后关闭第一接收机。那么,参见图3中虚线所示,在S302之前,上述方法还可以包括:
S303,对AS定时器和/或AS计数器执行预设操作。
其中,预设操作可以包括停止、中止或维持。
在一些可能的实施方式中,AS定时器可以包括以下至少之一:用于指示RLF的定时器、用于触发BWP切换的定时器、用于触发SCell去激活的定时器、用于上行同步的TA定时器、用于触发UAI定时器、用于UAC的定时器、层2定时器。
在实际应用中,上述层2的定时器可以包括以下至少之一:MAC层的定时器、RLC层的定时器 以及PDCP层的定时器。
示例性的,上述用于指示RLF的定时器可以为T310。上述用于触发BWP切换的定时器可以为BWP inactivity timer。上述用于触发SCell去激活的定时器可以为sCellDeactivationTimer。上述用于上行同步的TA定时可以为TA timer。上述用于触发UAI定时器可以为UAI禁止定时器(prohibit timer)。上述用于UAC的定时器可以为T390。上述MAC层的定时器可以为DRX定时器,如onduration timer、drx-InactivityTimer、drx-ShortCycleTime等。上述RLC层的定时器可以为轮询重传定时器(如t_PollRetransmit)等。上述PDCP层的定时器可以为重排序定时器(如t_Reordering)。当然,上述定时器还可以为其他具体实例,本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。
在一些可能的实施方式中,上述AS计数器可以包括以下至少之一:用于指示RLF的计数器、层2的计数器。
在实际应用中,上述层2的计数器可以包括以下至少之一:MAC层的计数器、RLC层的计数器以及PDCP层的计数器中的一个或者多个。
示例性的,上述用于指示RLF的计数器可以为N310、N311等。上述MAC层的计数器可以为DRX计数器。RLC层的计数器可以为轮询重传计数器(如pdu_without_poll、byte without poll、retxt count等)。PDCP层的计数器可以为重排序计数器(如reordering_PDCP_RX_COUNT)。当然,上述计数器还可以为其他具体实例,本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。
在一些可能的实施方式中,“停止”可以理解为清除(也可以描述为释放、删除等)AS定时器和/或AS计数器。当UE需要使用AS定时器和/或计数器时,UE可以启动新的定时器和/或计数器。“中止”可以理解为挂起(也可以描述为暂停)AS定时器和/或AS计数器,当第一接收机再次唤醒时,UE可以恢复AS定时器和/或AS计数器。“维持”可以理解为保持AS定时器和/或计数器不变,UE仍然按照原有的AS定时器和/或计数器执行。
进一步地,针对于不同的定时器和/或计数器,UE可以执行不同的预设操作。示例性的,针对于用于RLF的定时器,如T310,预设操作优选的可以为中止。针对于用于触发UAI定时器,如UAI prohibit timer,预设操作优选的可以为停止或中止。
在一些可能的实施方式中,响应于预设操作为中止,在S302之后,上述方法还可以包括:UE恢复AS定时器和/或AS计数器。这里,恢复(resume)也可以描述为继续。
进一步地,在S302之后,当发生唤醒事件时,UE还可以再次开启第一接收机,以唤醒UE,使得UE执行对PDCCH进行监听、接收上下行传输数据等过程。
示例性的,上述唤醒事件可以且不限于包括以下事件:
a)发送上行数据。一种情况,基于非接入层(non access stratum,NAS)的上行数据发送,如发送跟踪区域更新(tracking area update,TAU)、业务请求等,另一种情况,基于AS的上行数据发送,如发送调度请求消息、随机接入请求消息等。
b)网络设备预先规定的关闭第一接收机的时长超时。
c)第二接收机接收到WUS。
d)不满足网络设备配置的满足低移动性、信号质量好等条件。例如,UE测量到的参考信号接收 功率(reference signal receiving power,RSRP)或参考信号接收质量(reference signal receiving quality,RSRQ)高于一门限值。
e)UE检测不到唤醒信号或者唤醒信号的信号强度低于一门限值。
在实际应用中,上述唤醒事件可以存在其他情况,本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。
至此,便完成了UE根据网络设备的指示进入睡眠状态的过程。
在本公开实施方式中,处于连接态的终端设备根据网络设备的指示,控制第一接收机关闭,从而进入睡眠状态,以此来节省终端设备的能耗。
在一些可能的实施例中,本公开实施例还提供一种通信方法,该通信方法方法可以应用于上述一个或者多个实施例所述的终端设备(如UE)中。在本公开实施例中,UE处于连接态。
图4为本公开实施例中的第二种通信方法的实施流程示意图,参见图4中实线所示,该通信方法可以包括:
S401,UE接收网络设备发送的指示信息。
其中,指示信息用于指示UE关闭第一接收机。
在一些可能的实施方式中,第一接收机作为主接收机,用于接收下行控制信息和/或下行传输数据;第二接收机为低功耗唤醒接收器(ultra-low power wake-up receiver),专用于接收唤醒信号(WUS)。当第二接收机接收到唤醒信号后,唤醒第一接收机。
需要说明的是,S401的具体实施过程可以参见图3中对S301的描述,为了说明书简洁,在此不做具体赘述。
S402,UE忽略该指示信息。
应理解的,UE在通过S401接收到网络设备的指示信息后,可以选择忽略该指示信息,以维持原有的AS层定时器和/或计数器。这里,“忽略”也可以描述为没有生效、未生效、未响应等。
在一些可能的实施方式中,S402可以包括:UE确定正在执行接入层操作;UE忽略指示信息。
应理解的,UE在接收到上述指示信息后,确定当前正在执行的AS操作。如果UE正在执行某些AS操作时,则无法关闭第一接收机。此时,UE可以忽略上述指示信息,继续执行AS操作。
在一些可能的实施方式中,上述AS操作包括以下至少之一:用于随机接入的操作、用于调度请求的操作、用于BWP切换的操作、用于波束恢复的操作、用于切换的操作、用于RRC连接重建的操作、用于正在进行数据传输的操作、用于等待网络反馈的操作、用于等待重传数据调度的操作。
在一些可能的实施方式中,参见图4中虚线所示,在S402之后,UE还可以执行S403。
S403,UE向网络设备发送应答信息,应答信息用于指示UE忽略指示信息。
应理解的,在S402之后,UE还可以向网络设备发送应答消息,以告知网络设备UE忽略网络设备的指示,保持开启第一接收机,使得网络设备也能够同步维持UE对应的定时器和/或计数器。在实际应用中,上述应答消息可以为RRC层消息、RLC状态报告、MAC消息或者物理层的消息(如HARQ ACK反馈)等,本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。
在另一些可能的实施方式中,UE还可以通过隐式的方式向网络设备指示UE忽略网络设备的指示。示例性的,UE通过不向网络设备发送应答消息,来向网络设备指示UE忽略网络设备的指示。此 时,网络设备若没有收到上述应答消息,则可以认为UE忽略S301中的指示信息。
可选的,网络设备若没有收到应答消息,则可以认为UE生效S301中的指示信息;反之,网络设备若收到应答消息,则可以认为UE给出了用于表示没有生效上述指示信息的否定确认(如NACK)。
至此,便完成了UE忽略网络设备的指示保持唤醒状态的过程。
在本公开实施例中,处于连接态的UE忽略网络设备的指示,控制第一接收机保持开启,从而持续监听PDCCH和/或接收上下行传输数据。
基于相同的发明构思,本公开实施例还提供一种通信方法,该方法可以应用于通信系统中的网络设备。
图5为本公开实施例中的第三种通信方法的实施流程示意图,参见图5中实线所示,该通信方法可以包括:
S501,网络设备为处于连接态的终端设备(如UE)配置第一接收机的工作方式。
在一些可能的实施方式中,UE的第一接收机作为主接收机,用于接收下行控制信息和/或下行传输数据;UE还可以包括第二接收机,第二接收机为低功耗唤醒接收器(ultra-low power wake-up receiver),专用于接收唤醒信号(WUS)。当第二接收机接收到唤醒信号后,唤醒第一接收机。
在一些可能的实施方式中,第一接收机的工作方式可以包括立即关闭或延迟关闭。其中,当第一接收机的工作方式为立即关闭时,UE执行上述S302a;当第一接收机的工作方式为延迟关闭时,UE执行上述S302b。
S502,网络设备向UE发送指示信息,指示信息指示关闭第一接收机。
可选的,该指示信息还可以指示UE开启第二接收机。
应理解的,为了提高传输资源利用率、增强系统鲁棒性、提升系统性能、降低系统功耗等,网络设备可以指示处于连接态的UE中的部分或者全部UE进入睡眠状态。此时,网络设备可以向选择的UE发送指示信息,以指示该UE的第一接收机关闭,使得UE进入睡眠状态。
在本公开实施例中,UE的第一接收机可以为多个,那么,S501中,网络设备可以指示多个第一接收机中的至少一个关闭。应理解的,网络设备可以指示UE关闭部分或者全部第一接收机。示例性的,假设UE为双DRX UE(即UE包括配置了DRX功能的两个第一接收机),那么,网络设备可以指示UE关闭其中一个第一接收机或者同时关闭两个第一接收机。
在一些可能的实施方式中,参见图5中虚线所示,在S502之后,上述方法还包括S503a或S503b。
S503a,网络设备确定UE关闭第一接收机。
S503b,网络设备确定UE忽略上述指示信息。
应理解的,UE在接收到上述指示信息后,可以执行S302a、S302b或S402。那么,网络设备需要确定UE执行的是S302a、S302b以及S402中的哪一个或者哪几个。所以,S502之后,网络设备执行S503a或S503b。具体来说,当UE执行S302a和/或S302b时,网络设备相应的执行S503a;当UE执行S402时,网络设备相应的执行S503b。
在一些可能的实施方式中,S503a可以包括:网络设备接收UE发送的应答消息,应答信息用于指示UE关闭第一接收机。这里,应答消息由UE在执行S302a和/或S302b之后发送,并用于指示UE执行S302a和/或302b。
在一些可能的实施方式中,S503b可以包括:网络设备接收UE发送的应答消息,应答信息用于指示UE忽略指示信息。
在另一些可能的实施方式中,响应于UE以隐式方式向网络设备指示,在S502之后,网络设备未收到UE发送的应答消息,网络设备确定UE忽略上述指示信息。
在一些可能的实施方式中,为了保持与UE同步,在S502之后,网络设备还可以对UE的AS定时器和/或UE的AS计数器执行预设操作。这里,预设操作可以包括停止、中止或维持。
在一些可能的实施方式中,AS定时器可以包括以下至少之一:用于指示RLF的定时器、用于触发BWP切换的定时器、用于触发SCell去激活的定时器、用于上行同步的TA定时器、用于触发UAI定时器、用于UAC的定时器、层2定时器。
在实际应用中,上述层2的定时器可以包括以下至少之一:MAC层的定时器、RLC层的定时器以及PDCP层的定时器。
示例性的,上述用于指示RLF的定时器可以为T310。上述用于触发BWP切换的定时器可以为BWP inactivity timer。上述用于触发SCell去激活的定时器可以为sCellDeactivationTimer。上述用于上行同步的TA定时可以为TA timer。上述用于触发UAI定时器可以为UAI禁止定时器(prohibit timer)。上述用于UAC的定时器可以为T390。上述MAC层的定时器可以为DRX定时器,如onduration timer、drx-InactivityTimer、drx-ShortCycleTime等。上述RLC层的定时器可以为轮询重传定时器(如t_PollRetransmit)等。上述PDCP层的定时器可以为重排序定时器(如t_Reordering)。当然,上述定时器还可以为其他具体实例,本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。
在一些可能的实施方式中,上述AS计数器可以包括以下至少之一:用于指示RLF的计数器、层2的计数器。
在实际应用中,上述层2的计数器可以包括以下至少之一:MAC层的计数器、RLC层的计数器以及PDCP层的计数器中的一个或者多个。
示例性的,上述用于指示RLF的计数器可以为N310、N311等。上述MAC层的计数器可以为DRX计数器。RLC层的计数器可以为轮询重传计数器(如pdu_without_poll、byte without poll、retxt count等)。PDCP层的计数器可以为重排序计数器(如reordering_PDCP_RX_COUNT)。当然,上述计数器还可以为其他具体实例,本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。
在一些可能的实施方式中,“停止”可以理解为清除(也可以描述为释放、删除等)AS定时器和/或AS计数器。当网络设备需要使用AS定时器和/或计数器时,网络设备可以启动新的定时器和/或计数器。“中止”可以理解为挂起(也可以描述为暂停)AS定时器和/或AS计数器,当第一接收机再次唤醒时,网络设备可以恢复AS定时器和/或AS计数器。“维持”可以理解为保持AS定时器和/或计数器不变,网络设备仍然按照原有的AS定时器和/或计数器执行。
进一步地,针对于不同的定时器和/或计数器,网络设备也可以执行不同的预设操作。示例性的, 针对于用于RLF的定时器,如T310,预设操作优选的可以为中止。针对于用于触发UAI定时器,如UAI prohibit timer,预设操作优选的可以为停止或中止。
在一些可能的实施方式中,响应于预设操作为中止,在S502之后,上述方法还可以包括:网络设备恢复UE的AS定时器和/或AS计数器。这里,恢复(resume)也可以描述为继续。
进一步地,在S502之后,当发生唤醒事件时,UE还可以再次开启第一接收机,以唤醒UE,使得UE执行对PDCCH进行监听、接收上下行传输数据等过程。此时,网络设备可以接收到来自UE的指示,以向网络设备指示UE唤醒第一接收机。
示例性的,上述唤醒事件可以且不限于包括以下事件:
a)UE发送上行数据。一种情况,基于非接入层(non access stratum,NAS)的上行数据发送,如发送跟踪区域更新(tracking area update,TAU)、业务请求等,另一种情况,基于AS的上行数据发送,如发送调度请求消息、随机接入请求消息等。
b)网络设备预先规定的关闭第一接收机的时长超时。
c)第二接收机接收到WUS。
d)UE不满足网络设备配置的满足低移动性、信号质量好等条件。例如,UE测量到的参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power,RSRP)或参考信号接收质量(reference signal receiving quality,RSRQ)高于一门限值。
e)UE检测不到唤醒信号或者唤醒信号的信号强度低于一门限值。
在实际应用中,上述唤醒事件可以存在其他情况,本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。
需要说明的是,图5中对UE的具体描述可以参见图3和/或图4中对UE的描述。
至此,便完成了网络设备指示UE进入睡眠状态的过程。
在本公开实施方式中,处于连接态的终端设备根据网络设备的指示,控制第一接收机关闭或者忽略网络设备的指示。相应的,网络设备根据UE的操作,对UE的定时器和/或计数器进行相应的预设操作,以此与UE保持同步。
