- the disclosed embodiment provides an information processing method, which involves enhancing SSSG switching and PDCCH skipping when LP-WUS is activated. This enables more flexible switching of UE's PDCCH detection behavior with lower UE power consumption, and supports better PDCCH scheduling flexibility and transmission performance.
- Solution 1 Combination of LP-WUS detection and PDCCH skipping mechanism.
- the PDCCH skipping mechanism still works as defined in Rel-17. That is, the UE switches between continuous PDCCH detection (i.e. Beh 1) and skipping PDCCH detection in a time period (i.e. Beh 1A).
- the length of the time period for skipping PDCCH detection can be one or more.
- the UE's LP-WUS detection is activated, the UE's PDCCH detection behavior can be controlled by adjusting the length of the PDCCH skipping time period, thereby supporting better scheduling flexibility and maximizing power saving.
- the first method When the UE starts skipping PDCCH detection (i.e., Beh 1A) according to the PDCCH skipping mechanism, the UE detects LP-WUS.
- LP-WUS can indicate whether the UE needs to end Beh 1A early and return to continuous PDCCH detection (i.e., Beh 1).
- the base station sends LP-WUS only when it needs to indicate the early end of PDCCH skipping.
- FIG. 6a is an example of an LP-WUS indicating an early termination of Beh 1A.
- the configured PDCCH skip i.e., Beh 1A
- the base station can use LP-WUS to indicate that the UE only needs to perform PDCCH skipping in the time period Sa, so that the UE returns to continuous PDCCH detection in advance.
- the LP-WUS can also instruct the UE to maintain the PDCCH skipping state, and the UE continuously detects the configured LP-WUS.
- the UE When the UE does not detect the LP-WUS at a configured LP-WUS position, the UE returns to continuous PDCCH detection (i.e., Beh 1). The base station needs to continue to send the LP-WUS of the UE. When the base station needs to end Beh 1A early, the base station stops transmitting the LP-WUS of the UE. With this method, when new data arrives after the UE enters the PDCCH skipping state, the data transmission delay of the UE can be reduced.
- the second method When the UE starts skipping PDCCH detection according to the PDCCH skipping mechanism (i.e., Beh 1A), the UE detects LP-WUS. LP-WUS can indicate whether the UE can extend the length of the PDCCH skipping time to obtain additional power savings; if the UE does not receive LP-WUS, the UE returns to continuous PDCCH detection (i.e., Beh 1) after the current PDCCH skipping period ends. The base station only needs to send LP-WUS when indicating to extend the PDCCH skipping.
- the PDCCH skipping mechanism i.e., Beh 1A
- Figure 6b is an example of an LP-WUS indicating an extension of the PDCCH skip. It is assumed here that the PDCCH skip is extended for an additional time of X.
- X can be predefined or configured.
- X can be indicated by the LP-WUS. In particular, X can be equal to the length of the time period of Beh 1A.
- the LP-WUS can also indicate that the UE returns to continuous PDCCH detection (i.e., Beh 1) after the current PDCCH skip time period ends; if the UE does not receive the LP-WUS, the UE extends the length of the PDCCH skip to obtain additional power savings.
- the base station needs to continue to send the LP-WUS of the UE. When the base station needs to switch the UE to continuous PDCCH detection (i.e., Beh 1), the base station stops transmitting the LP-WUS of the UE.
- the third method After the time period S in which the PDCCH detection (i.e., Beh 1A) is skipped according to the PDCCH skipping mechanism, the UE detects the LP-WUS to determine whether to start continuous PDCCH detection (i.e., Beh 1).
- the above LP-WUS detection can also be earlier than the end position of the time period S, thereby supporting the indication of whether the UE can start continuous PDCCH detection (i.e., Beh 1) in the first time slot (Slot) after the end of the time period S.
- LP-WUS can be an indication to the UE to start continuous PDCCH detection (i.e., Beh 1); if the UE does not receive the LP-WUS, the UE does not perform PDCCH detection, thereby obtaining additional power saving.
- the base station only needs to send the LP-WUS when instructing the UE to start continuous PDCCH detection.
- the LP-WUS can also be an indication that the UE does not need to perform PDCCH detection, thereby obtaining additional power saving; if the UE does not receive the LP-WUS, start continuous PDCCH detection (i.e., Beh 1).
- the base station needs to continue to send the LP-WUS to the UE until it is necessary to instruct the UE to start continuous PDCCH detection.
- the UE can determine when to return to continuous PDCCH detection (i.e. Beh 1) by detecting LP-WUS only.
- This LP-WUS-based detection behavior completely replaces skipping PDCCH detection (i.e. Beh 1A) within a period of time.
- LP-WUS can instruct the UE to return to continuous PDCCH detection (i.e. Beh 1).
- Figure 6c is an example of an LP-WUS indication transition to Beh 1.
- the base station only needs to send LP-WUS when instructing the UE to start continuous PDCCH detection.
- LP-WUS can also instruct the UE to maintain the PDCCH skipping state, and the UE continuously detects the configured LP-WUS.
- the UE does not detect the LP-WUS at a configured LP-WUS position, the UE returns to continuous PDCCH detection (i.e., Beh 1).
- the base station needs to continue sending LP-WUS to the UE until it needs to instruct the UE to start continuous PDCCH detection.
- the UE when the UE enters the PDCCH skipping state, it can support early termination of PDCCH skipping, and it can also support extending the length of PDCCH skipping, thereby taking into account both power saving and data transmission delay.
- the UE can detect each LP-WUS resource. After the source is detected, it is determined whether it is necessary to return to continuous PDCCH detection (i.e., Beh 1) according to the detection result. Alternatively, the UE may also determine whether it is necessary to return to continuous PDCCH detection (i.e., Beh 1) according to the detection results of the N LP-WUS resources after detecting each N LP-WUS resources. For example, as long as one LP-WUS of the N LP-WUS positions indicates that it is necessary to return to Beh 1, the UE starts continuous PDCCH detection.
- the length of the time period T for continuous PDCCH detection may be further indicated. After the time period T ends, the UE skips the PDCCH detection and detects the LP-WUS.
- the length of the time period T may be a predefined or configured value. Alternatively, the lengths of multiple time periods T may be configured or predefined, and LP-WUS may be used to indicate one of the values for continuous PDCCH detection.
- the sixth method The UE may detect the LP-WUS continuously or according to a configured period, and the LP-WUS indicates whether the UE needs to detect the PDCCH at the next PDCCH detection position (MO). With this method, there is no need to distinguish between continuous PDCCH detection (i.e., Beh 1) and skipped PDCCH detection (i.e., Beh 1A). Alternatively, the UE may detect the LP-WUS only when starting continuous PDCCH detection (i.e., Beh 1) according to the PDCCH skipping mechanism, and determine whether it needs to receive the PDCCH of the next MO. When skipping PDCCH detection (i.e., Beh 1A) according to the PDCCH skipping mechanism, the UE may not detect the LP-WUS.
- Solution 2 Combination of LP-WUS detection and SSSG switching mechanism.
- the SSSG switching mechanism still works as defined in Rel-17. That is, the UE switches between two SSSGs (i.e. Beh 2, 2A) or three SSSGs (i.e. Beh 2, 2A, 2B).
- the LP-WUS detection of the UE is activated, the LP-WUS can be used to indicate the SSSG to be switched to.
- the UE can receive SSSG switching information with extremely low power consumption, and by configuring frequent LP-WUS resources, the latency of SSSG switching can be reduced, thereby optimizing the power saving of the UE and improving the flexibility of PDCCH transmission and data transmission performance.
- the delay can be related to the subcarrier spacing (SCS).
- SCS subcarrier spacing
- the timing of LP-WUS and the downlink slot/symbol timing may have a strict timing relationship, so that after the UE detects the LP-WUS, it obtains the corresponding downlink slot/symbol timing, so that the UE can obtain the actual SSSG activation timing after superimposing the SSSG switching delay.
- the above delay can reuse the SSSG switching delay defined in the existing 3GPP standard.
- LP-WUS can indicate the SSSG to be switched to. For example, assuming that two SSSGs are configured, LP-WUS can be used to carry 1 bit of information to indicate it. Assuming that three SSSGs are configured, they can be indicated by two bits of information transmitted by LP-WUS. Or, assuming that three SSSGs are configured, they can be indicated by one of the three sequences transmitted by LP-WUS. With this method, there is no need to configure the information field indicating SSSG switching in the DCI format, such as DCI 0-1, 1-1.
- LP-WUS can carry one bit of information to distinguish: 1) continue to use the current SSSG unless other SSSG switching indication information is received; 2) switch to a fixed SSSG, for example, SSSG #0, which corresponds to Beh 2.
- LP-WUS can indicate a switch to a fixed SSSG, for example, SSSG #0, which corresponds to Beh 2; when the UE does not receive LP-WUS, the UE continues to use the current SSSG unless it receives other SSSG switching indication information.
- the Rel-17 method can still be used to indicate the switch from SSSG #0 to other SSSGs (i.e., corresponding to Beh 2A or 2B).
- the UE is configured with three SSSGs, because the DCI does not need to indicate the switch to SSSG #0, only one bit can be used to distinguish the switch to SSSG #1 or SSSG #2. This method reduces the situation where the MR transmits SSSG switching and does not require the LP-WUS to carry additional information.
- LP-WUS may instruct the UE to continue to use the current SSSG unless it receives other SSSG switching instructions; when the UE does not receive LP-WUS, the UE may switch to a fixed SSSG, for example, SSSG #0, which corresponds to Beh 2.
- the base station needs to continue to send the LP-WUS of the UE until it needs to instruct the UE to switch to the above fixed SSSG.
- the base station may not send the LP-WUS information of this UE at the LP-WUS position, so that the UE cannot receive the LP-WUS, causing the UE to switch to the above fixed SSSG.
- the LP-WUS may be detected only before switching to DRX ON, and the LP-WUS indicates the SSSG to be activated.
- the LP-WUS may be detected both before the start of DRX ON and during the DRX ON period, and the LP-WUS indicates the SSSG to be activated.
- Solution 3 Combination of LP-WUS detection and ‘SSSG switching + PDCCH skipping’ mechanism.
- the SSSG switching and PDCCH skipping mechanisms still work as defined in Rel-17. That is, the UE switches between two SSSGs (i.e., Beh 2, Beh 2A) and PDCCH skipping (Beh 1A) of one or two time periods.
- Beh 2A SSSGs
- Beh 1A PDCCH skipping
- the first method When the UE's LP-WUS detection is activated, the LP-WUS can be used to indicate a SSSG to be switched to, but the LP-WUS cannot indicate PDCCH skipping.
- This method can only be used when the UE is detecting the PDCCH of a certain SSSG. That is, Beh 2, 2A.
- this method can also be used in any state, that is, two SSSGs (that is, Beh 2, 2A) and PDCCH skipping of 1 or two time periods (Beh 1A). Because the UE can only work in one of the two SSSGs, the LP-WUS needs to carry at most 1 bit of information.
- the four methods in the above scheme 2 can be used in this case.
- the UE can receive the information of SSSG switching with extremely low power consumption, and by configuring frequent LP-WUS resources, the latency of SSSG switching can be reduced, thereby optimizing the power saving of the UE and improving the flexibility of PDCCH transmission, thereby improving data transmission performance.
- the LP-WUS can indicate the early end of the PDCCH skipping and indicate the activated SSSG.
- the LP-WUS can also indicate the extension of the PDCCH skipping and indicate the activated SSSG.
- the LP-WUS may be detected only before the transition to DRX ON, and the LP-WUS indicates the SSSG to be activated.
- the LP-WUS may be detected before the start of the DRX ON state and during the DRX ON period, and the LP-WUS indicates the SSSG to be activated.
- the UE may detect the LP-WUS during both the DRX ON and DRX OFF periods of C-DRX, and the LP-WUS indicates the SSSG to be activated.
- the UE's PDCCH detection and data transmission can be triggered even in the DRX OFF state.
- the second method When the LP-WUS detection of the UE is activated, when the UE starts to skip PDCCH detection according to the PDCCH skipping mechanism (i.e. Beh 1A), the LP-WUS can indicate the adjustment of the length of the PDCCH skipping time period and indicate an SSSG to be switched to after the PDCCH skipping ends, thereby supporting better scheduling flexibility and maximizing power saving.
- This method is only applicable to the UE in the state of skipping PDCCH detection, i.e. Beh 1A.
- the six methods in the above scheme 1 can be used in this case.
- the third method When the UE's LP-WUS detection is activated, when the UE is detecting the PDCCH of a certain SSSG, that is, Beh 2, 2A, the LP-WUS can be to indicate that the UE switches to a configured SSSG or PDCCH skipping state, that is, to indicate one of two SSSGs (that is, Beh 2, 2A) and one or two time period lengths of PDCCH skipping (Beh 1A).
- the LP-WUS can be to indicate a configured SSSG or to indicate the adjustment of the time period length of the PDCCH skipping to control the UE's PDCCH detection behavior.
- Solution 4 For the above three solutions, the base station can configure LP-WUS resources according to the status of the UE, i.e. Beh 1/1A/2/2A/2B.
- the period of LP-WUS corresponding to different state configurations can be different.
- the delay of triggering SSSG switching or PDCCH skipping can be reduced by configuring more frequent LP-WUS resources.
- the base station can configure the UE with the same set of LP-WUS resources regardless of the state of the UE, i.e., Beh 1/1A/2/2A/2B.
- Solution 5 For the case of carrier aggregation (CA), the LP-WUS detected on one carrier can indicate SSSG switching or PDCCH skipping behavior on multiple carriers, that is, one of Beh 1/1A/2/2A/2B.
- CA carrier aggregation
- LP-WUS can carry different bit fields to indicate the SSSG switching or PDCCH skipping behavior of different carriers. This method can maximize the flexibility of the working state of each carrier, provided that the amount of information indicated by LP-WUS is increased.
- the second method corresponding to each carrier, LP-WUS can carry a bit field to indicate the SSSG or PDCCH skipping status of the above-mentioned multiple carriers.
- the SSSG configuration and PDCCH skipping configuration of the multiple carriers may be the same. This method can minimize the amount of information that LP-WUS needs to indicate. Alternatively, the SSSG configuration and PDCCH skipping configuration of each carrier may be different. At this time, it is necessary to define the mapping relationship between the codeword of the above-mentioned one bit field and the SSSG configuration and PDCCH skipping status of multiple carriers. Using this method, a compromise can be achieved between the amount of information indicated by LP-WUS and the flexibility of indicating the SSSG or PDCCH skipping status of each carrier.
- the third method Assuming that LP-WUS carries information in one or more bit domains, for each carrier, the base station configures the information of its SSSG or PDCCH skipping status to be mapped to which bit domain carried by LP-WUS.
- each carrier may be mapped to a different bit domain, or two or more carriers may be mapped to the same bit domain.
- the SSSG configuration and PDCCH skipping configuration of the above-mentioned multiple carriers mapped to the same bit domain may be the same or different. This method is implemented by the base station to control the amount of information of LP-WUS and the flexibility of indicating the SSSG or PDCCH skipping status of each carrier.

在一些实施例中,为了降低UE在连接态(connected mode)的耗电,引入了PDCCH跳过(skipping)和搜索空间集合组转换(SSSG switching)两个机制。采用PDCCH跳过,网络设备可以控制UE跳过一段时间内的PDCCH检测,从而达到省电的目的。网络设备可以配置一个、两个或三个跳过PDCCH检测的时间段长度。
在PDCCH跳过的讨论中,引入以下两种行为:
行为(behaviour,Beh)1:不激活PDCCH跳过,即UE连续检测配置的搜索空间集(search space set,SS set)或者当前激活的SSSG的SS set。
Beh 1A:在一个时间段内激活PDCCH跳过,即在这个时间段内UE不检测配置的SS set或者当前激活的SSSG。
采用SSSG转换,通过激活两个或者三个SSSG中的一个适合SSSG,达到控制UE的PDCCH检测的频繁程度以及每次检测的PDCCH候选个数,从而控制UE的省电行为。
在SSSG转换的讨论中,引入以下三种行为:
Beh 2:停止检测SSSG #1和SSSG #2的搜索空间集合(SS set),仅检测SSSG #0的SS set。
Beh 2A:停止检测SSSG #0和SSSG #2的搜索空间集合(SS set),仅检测SSSG #1的SS set。
Beh 2B:停止检测SSSG #0和SSSG #1的搜索空间集合(SS set),仅检测SSSG #2的SS set。
在一些实施例中,支持以下三种组合来实现省电:
仅基于PDCCH跳过的机制;
仅基于SSSG转换的机制;
基于SSSG转换和PDCCH跳过的机制。
为了实现进一步的UE省电,第三代合作伙伴项目计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)正在讨论基于低功耗唤醒接收机(Low-Power WakeUp Receiver,LP-WUR,或称为“低功耗唤醒收发
机”)的机制。
在省电状态下,UE可以把主接收机(Main Radio,MR,或称为“主收发机”)置于深度睡眠(Ultra-deep sleep)状态,并开启LP-WUR监听支持低功耗接收的唤醒信号(即低功耗唤醒信号,LP-WUS)。当LP-WUR检测针对这个UE的LP-WUS时,UE开启MR并进行正常的传输。采用这个方法,极大地降低了MR的功耗,并且LP-WUR的功耗非常低,从而能够获得更大的省电增益。
在引入LP-WUS机制的情况下,如何更加有效地执行SSSG转换和PDCCH跳过两个机制,是个亟需要解决的问题。
图2a是根据本公开实施例示出的一种信息处理方法的交互示意图。如图2a所示,本公开实施例涉及信息处理方法,用于通信系统100,上述方法包括:
步骤S2101:网络设备向终端发送第一信息。

在一些实施例中,终端可包括但不限于:手机、可穿戴设备、物联网设备或者车载设备等。
在一些实施例中,终端可以具有第一接收机和主接收机,第一接收机不同于主接收机。
示例性地,第一接收机的功耗低于主接收机的功耗。例如,第一接收机为低功耗唤醒接收机。
终端开启第一接收机后,使用第一接收机可以监听低功耗唤醒信号(LP-WUS)。
在一些实施例中,第一信息可用于指示省电信号配置。省电信号配置可用于指示终端接收省电信号使用的一个或多个配置参数。例如,省电信号配置可包括:省电信号的时域配置。
本公开中,省电信号的接收与省电信号的监测、省电信号的监听或省电信号的检测等术语可以相互替换。
在一些示例中,省电信号可以包括第一省电信号;第一省电信号可用于调整PDCCH跳过的时间段信息。或者,第一省电信号的检测结果用于确定是否调整PDCCH跳过的时间段信息。
在一些示例中,省电信号可以包括第二省电信号;第二省电信号可用于转换SSSG。或者,第二省电信号的检测结果用于确定是否转换SSSG。
在一些示例中,省电信号可以包括第三省电信号。第三省电信号可用于指示调整PDCCH跳过的时间段信息或者转换SSSG。
在一些示例中,省电信号的时域配置可指示终端接收省电信号使用的时域资源、和/或在时域上接收省电信号的频率等。例如,该时域资源包括但不限于:时隙、符号、微时隙或子帧等。
在一些实施例中,省电信号配置还可包括:省电信号的频域配置,省电信号的频域配置可指示终端接收省电信号使用的频域资源,例如,该频域资源包括带宽部分(Band Width Part,BWP)。
在一些实施例中,终端具有多个PDCCH检测行为,多个PDCCH检测行为分别具有对应的省电信号配置。多个PDCCH检测行为分别对应的省电信号配置可以相同或不同。
在一些实施例中,终端的PDCCH检测行为可包括但不限于以下行为中的至少两项:
第一行为,第一行为可以为PDCCH检测,例如不激活PDCCH跳过,此时终端会连续检测配置的搜索空间集或者当前激活的SSSG的搜索空间集;

第四行为,第四行为可以为仅检测多个SSSG中的第二SSSG,第二SSSG不同于第一SSSG,例如,停止检测SSSG #0和SSSG #2的搜索空间集,仅检测SSSG #1的搜索空间集。
第五行为,第五行为可以为仅检测多个SSSG中的第三SSSG,第三SSSG不同于第一SSSG和第二SSSG,例如,停止检测SSSG #0和SSSG #1的搜索空间集,仅检测SSSG #2的搜索空间集。
在一些实施例中,第一信息用于指示终端的多个PDCCH检测行为分别对应的省电信号配置。
本实施例中,针对任意一个PDCCH检测行为,终端可以利用第一信息指示的该PDCCH检测行为对应的省电信号配置,在终端处于该PDCCH检测行为的状态时使用该PDCCH检测行为对应的省电信号配置执行省电信号的检测。
在一些实施例中,所述第一信息用于指示终端的多个PDCCH检测行为分别对应的省电信号使用的资源。
例如,针对不同PDCCH检测行为分别配置的省电信号的周期可以是不同的。例如,对PDCCH跳过配置的省电信号的周期短于针对PDCCH检测配置的省电信号的周期。
特别地,假设一个SSSG的PDCCH监测时机(monitor occasion,MO)不是频繁出现,那么通过配置更频繁的省电信号的资源,可以降低触发SSSG转换或者PDCCH跳过产生的时延。
在一些实施例中,第一信息用于指示终端的多个PDCCH检测行为的省电信号共用的资源。
例如,网络设备可以通过第一信息配置终端针对不同PDCCH检测行为使用同一套省电信号的资源,而不依赖于UE当前的PDCCH检测行为。
在一些实施例中,第一信息可携带在网络设备发送给终端的第一消息中。第一消息包括以下至少之一:系统消息、高层信令、无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)信令、媒体接入控制(Media Access Control,MAC)控制元素(Control Element,CE)、下行链路控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)等。

在一些实施例中,第一省电信号可以为唤醒信号,例如,唤醒信号可以为低功耗唤醒信号。或者,第一省电信号也可以为休眠信号。
在一些实施例中,网络设备根据是否需要终端调整PDCCH跳过的时间段信息,确定是否向终端发送第一省电信号。
在一些实施例中,网络设备需要终端调整PDCCH跳过的时间段信息时,确定向终端发送第一省电信号。
在一些实施例中,网络设备需要终端调整PDCCH跳过的时间段信息时,确定不向终端发送第一省电信号。
在一些实施例中,网络设备不需要终端调整PDCCH跳过的时间段信息时,确定向终端发送第一省电信号。
在一些实施例中,网络设备不需要终端调整PDCCH跳过的时间段信息时,确定不向终端发送第一省电信号。
在一些实施例中,网络设备可根据是否需要向终端传输PDCCH,确定是否需要终端调整PDCCH跳过的时间段信息。
在一些实施例中,网络设备确定发送第一省电信号,第一省电信号隐式指示终端调整PDCCH跳过的时间段信息,网络设备不发送第一省电信号,第一省电信号隐式指示终端不调整PDCCH跳过的时间段信息。
在一些实施例中,网络设备确定发送第一省电信号,第一省电信号隐式指示终端不调整PDCCH跳过的时间段信息,网络设备不发送第一省电信号,第一省电信号隐式指示终端调整PDCCH跳过的时间段信息。
在一些实施例中,PDCCH跳过的时间段信息可以为预设的时间段信息、或协议规定的时间段信息或网络设备配置的时间段信息。
在一些实施例中,时间段信息可以为时间段长度。时间段长度即为PDCCH跳过的时间段的时长(或称为:PDCCH跳过的持续时长)。
在PDCCH跳过的时间段内,终端可检测网络设备发送的检测信号,并根据第一省电信号的检测结果保持PDCCH跳过或切换到PDCCH检测。
步骤S2103:网络设备向终端发送第一省电信号。
在一些实施例中,终端接收网络设备发送的第一省电信号。
在一些实施例中,网络设备向激活省电信号检测功能的终端发送第一省电信号。
在一些实施例中,所述第一省电信号用于供所述终端检测,所述第一省电信号的检测结果,用于控制所述终端的PDCCH检测行为。
在一些实施例中,网络设备在所述终端处于PDCCH跳过的状态时,向所述终端发送所述省电信号。
在一些实施例中,第一省电信号可显式指示或隐式指示终端是否调整PDCCH跳过的时间段信息。
例如,第一省电信号显式指示终端是否提前结束PDCCH跳过。
例如,第一省电信号显式指示终端在第一时间段内是否保持PDCCH跳过;所述第一时间段包含在所述PDCCH跳过的时间段内;
例如,第一省电信号显式指示所述终端是否延长所述PDCCH跳过的时间段。
例如,第一省电信号显式指示终端在所述PDCCH跳过的时间段结束时是否启动PDCCH检测。
例如,第一省电信号隐式指示终端提前结束PDCCH跳过。
例如,第一省电信号隐式指示终端在第一时间段内保持PDCCH跳过;所述第一时间段包含在所述PDCCH跳过的时间段内;
例如,第一省电信号隐式指示所述终端延长所述PDCCH跳过的时间段。
例如,第一省电信号隐式指示终端在所述PDCCH跳过的时间段结束时启动PDCCH检测。
例如,第一省电信号隐式指示所述终端结束PDCCH跳过。
例如,第一省电信号隐式指示终端保持PDCCH跳过的状态。
在一些实施例中,第一省电信号为唤醒信号。
在一些示例中,网络设备可以基于终端的唤醒周期,向终端发送的唤醒信号。
示例性地,唤醒周期包括一个或多个DRX周期。例如,唤醒周期被配置为一个DRX周期,终端会在每个DRX周期内都去监听唤醒信号。例如,为进一步节省终端的耗电,唤醒周期被配置为N个DRX周期(N大于或等于2),终端可以在N个DRX周期相应的时长内去监听唤醒信号。
在一些实施例中,所述第一省电信号用于指示所述终端是否提前结束PDCCH跳过。
示例性地,当终端按照PDCCH跳过机制开始跳过PDCCH检测(例如,Beh 1A)时,终端检测第一省电信号,第一省电信号可指示UE是否需要提前结束跳过PDCCH检测,回到连续的PDCCH检测(例如,Beh 1)。
在一些示例中,网络设备可以仅在需要指示提前结束PDCCH跳过时发送第一省电信号。
在一些实施例中,第一省电信号用于指示终端在第一时间段内是否保持PDCCH跳过;所述第一时间段包含在所述PDCCH跳过的时间段内。
示例性地,第一省电信号可以指示UE保持PDCCH跳过的状态,UE连续的检测第一省电信号,当终端在一个配置的第一省电信号的位置上未检测到LP-WUS时,终端回到连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)。
网络设备需要持续向终端发送第一省电信号。当网络设备需要提前结束PDCCH跳过时,基站停止向终端传输第一省电信号。采用这个方法,当终端进入PDCCH跳过的状态后有新数据到达时,可以降低终端的数据传输时延。
在一些实施例中,第一省电信号用于指示终端是否延长所述PDCCH跳过的时间段。
示例性地,当终端按照PDCCH跳过机制开始跳过PDCCH检测(即Beh 1A)时,UE检测LP-WUS。LP-WUS可以是指示终端是否可以延长PDCCH跳过的时间段长度,从而获得额外的第一省电;如果终端未收到LP-WUS,终端在当前PDCCH跳过的时间段结束后,回到连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)。
在一些示例中,网络设备仅需要在指示延长PDCCH跳过时发送LP-WUS。
在一些实施例中,第一省电信号用于指示终端在PDCCH跳过的时间段结束时是否启动PDCCH检测。
示例性地,当按照PDCCH跳过机制跳过PDCCH检测(即Beh 1A)的时间段结束后,终端检测LP-WUS从而确定是否开始连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)。
可理解的是,LP-WUS检测可以是比PDCCH跳过的时间段的结束位置更早,从而支持指示终端能否在PDCCH跳过时间段结束后的第一个时隙(Slot)开始连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)。
在一些示例中,第一省电信号可以指示终端开始连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1);如果终端未收到第一省电信号,UE不执行PDCCH检测,从而获得额外的第一省电。
在一些示例中,网络设备仅需要在指示终端开始连续的PDCCH检测时发送第一省电信号。
在一些示例中,第一省电信号用于指示以下之一:
所述终端结束PDCCH跳过执行PDCCH检测的开始时间;
所述终端保持PDCCH跳过的状态。
示例性地,当终端按照PDCCH跳过机制开始跳过PDCCH检测后,终端可以仅通过检测LP-WUS来确定何时需要回到连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)。
这种基于LP-WUS的检测行为完全替代在一个时间段内跳过PDCCH检测(即Beh 1A)。LP-WUS可以指示终端回到连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)。
在一些示例中,基站仅需要在指示终端开始连续的PDCCH检测时发送LP-WUS。
在一些实施例中,所述第一省电信号用于指示所述终端结束PDCCH跳过,还用于PDCCH检测的时间段信息。
示例性地,当LP-WUS指示终端进行连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)时,可以进一步指示连续的PDCCH检测的时间段长度T。当时间段T结束后,终端跳过PDCCH检测并检测LP-WUS。
在一些示例中,所述第一省电信号指示的PDCCH检测的时间段T的长度可以是预定义的或者配置的一个值。或者,也可以是配置或者预定义多个上述时间段T的长度,并用LP-WUS指示其中的一个值用于连续的PDCCH检测。
步骤S2104:终端检测第一省电信号。
在一些实施例中,终端激活第一省电信号检测功能的情况下,检测第一省电信号。
在一些实施例中,终端使用第一接收机接收第一省电信号。第一接收机例如为低功耗接收机。
在一些实施例中,终端在未激活第一省电信号检测功能的情况下,在连续的PDCCH检测(例如,Beh 1)和在一个时间段内跳过PDCCH检测(例如,Beh 1A)两种PDCCH检测行为之间转换。
在一些实施例中,第一省电信号的检测结果用于终端确定是否调整PDCCH跳过的时间段信息。
在一些实施例中,终端处于PDCCH跳过的状态,检测所述第一省电信号。
在一些示例中,第一省电信号可指示终端结束PDCCH跳过,或者指示终端保持PDCCH跳过状态。
示例性地,终端连续检测配置的LP-WUS,当终端在一个配置的LP-WUS位置上未检测到LP-WUS时,终端回到连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)。网络设备需要持续发送终端的LP-WUS,直到需要指示终端开始连续的PDCCH检测。在该示例中,当终端进入PDCCH跳过状态后,可以支持提前结束PDCCH跳过,也可以支持延长PDCCH跳过的时间长度,从而兼顾第一省电和数据传输时延。
在一些示例中,终端可以在检测每个LP-WUS资源后,根据检测结果判断是否需要回到连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)。或者,终端也可以在检测每N个LP-WUS资源后,根据这N个LP-WUS资源的检测结果综合判断是否需要回到连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)。例如,只要N个LP-WUS位置的一个LP-WUS指示了需要回到Beh 1,则终端开始连续的PDCCH检测。
在一些实施例中,终端检测第一省电信号,包括:
连续检测或周期检测所述第一省电信号;其中,所述第一省电信号用于指示终端是否需要在下一个PDCCH检测位置上检测PDCCH。
示例性地,终端可以连续检测LP-WUS,或者按照一个配置的周期检测LP-WUS,LP-WUS指示UE是否需要在下一个PDCCH检测位置(例如,MO)上检测PDCCH。在该示例中,不需要区分连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)和跳过PDCCH检测(即Beh 1A)。
又示例性地,终端可以是仅在按照PDCCH跳过机制开始连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)时,检测LP-WUS,并确定是否需要接收下一个MO的PDCCH。在按照PDCCH跳过机制跳过PDCCH检测(即Beh 1A)时,UE可以不检测LP-WUS。
在一些实施例中,终端检测第一省电信号,包括:
在载波聚合(CA)的多个载波中的目标载波检测所述第一省电信号;其中,所述第一省电信号用于指示所述目标载波或多个所述载波上的PDCCH跳过。
在一些实施例中,所述第一省电信号包括多个比特域;不同所述比特域用于指示不同所述载波上的PDCCH跳过;
或者,所述第一省电信号包括一个比特域;所述比特域用于指示多个所述载波上的PDCCH跳过;
或者,所述第一省电信号包括一个或多个比特域的信息;一个所述比特域映射到一个或者多个所述载波上的PDCCH跳过;
或者,所述第一省电信号包括一个或多个比特域的信息;不同所述比特域用于指示不同载波组的PDCCH跳过。
在一些实施例中,所述第一省电信号包括的一个比特域指示多个所述载波上的PDCCH跳过,且不同所述载波的PDCCH跳过的配置不同;
或者,所述第一省电信号包括的一个比特域指示一个所述载波组的PDCCH跳过,且所述载波组内的不同所述载波的PDCCH跳过的配置不同。
示例性地,对载波聚合(CA)的情况,在一个载波检测的LP-WUS可以指示多个载波上的PDCCH跳过,即Beh 1或Beh 1A。
在一些示例中,对应各个载波,LP-WUS可以承载不同的比特域来指示不同的载波的PDCCH跳过的检测行为,可以最大化各个载波的工作状态的灵活性。
在一些示例中,对应各个载波,LP-WUS可以承载一个比特域来指示多个载波的PDCCH跳过的检测行为。所述多个载波的PDCCH跳过的配置可以是相同的。如此可以最小化LP-WUS需要指
示的信息量。或者,各个载波的PDCCH跳过的配置可以不相同。这时,需要定义上述一个比特域的码字与多个载波的PDCCH跳过的检测行为的映射关系。采用这个方法,可以实现LP-WUS指示的信息量和指示各个载波的PDCCH跳过的灵活性的折中。
在一些示例中,假设LP-WUS承载了一个或者多个比特域的信息,对每一个载波,基站分别配置其所处的PDCCH跳过的信息映射到LP-WUS承载的哪个比特域。依赖于基站实现,各个载波可以是映射到不同的比特域,或者两个或者多个载波可以是映射到同一个比特域。上述映射到相同比特域的多个载波的PDCCH跳过的配置可以是相同或者不同。这种方法通过基站实现来控制LP-WUS的信息量和指示各个载波的PDCCH跳过的灵活性。
在一些示例中,假设LP-WUS承载了一个或者多个比特域的信息,每个比特域用于指示一个载波组(Cell Group,CG)的PDCCH跳过的状态。基站可以配置一个或者多个CG。同一个CG之内的多个载波的PDCCH跳过的配置可以是相同的。如果一个CG的各个载波的PDCCH跳过的配置不相同,则需要定义上述一个比特域的码字与一个CG的多个载波的PDCCH跳过的状态的映射关系。上述划分CG的方法可以是基于现有标准中划分执行次载波(SCell)休眠(dormancy)的方法。这种方法通过基站实现来控制LP-WUS的信息量和指示各个载波的PDCCH跳过的状态的灵活性。
步骤S2105:终端执行第一操作。
在一些实施例中,第一操作用于控制所述终端的PDCCH检测行为。
在一些实施例中,第一操作为:调整PDCCH跳过的时间段信息。
在一些实施例中,终端基于第一省电信号的检测结果,确定是否执行第一操作。
例如,第一省电信号的检测结果表示需要调整PDCCH跳过的时间段信息,则执行第一操作。
例如,第一省电信号的检测结果表示不需要调整PDCCH跳过的时间段信息,则不执行第一操作。
在一些实施例中,终端根据第一省电信号的检测结果,执行第一操作。
在一些实施例中,术语“信息”可以与“消息(message)”、“信号(signal)”、“信令(signaling)”、“报告(report)”、“配置(configuration)”、“指示(indication)”、“指令(instruction)”、“命令(command)”、“信道”、“参数(parameter)”、“字段”、“数据(data)”等术语可以相互替换。
在一些实施例中,术语“发送”可以与“发射”、“上报”、“传输”等术语相互替换。
在一些实施例中,术语“SSSG转换”可以与“SSSG切换”、“SSSG变化”等术语相互替换。
本公开实施例所涉及的信息处理方法可以包括步骤S2101至步骤S2105中的至少一者。例如,步骤S2103可以作为独立实施例来实施,步骤S2104可以作为独立实施例来实施。例如,步骤S2102结合步骤S2105可以作为独立实施例来实施,步骤S2101至步骤S2105可以作为独立实施例来实施,但不限于此。
在一些实施例中,步骤S2101是可选的,在不同实施例中可以对该步骤进行省略或替代。
图2b是根据本公开实施例示出的一种信息处理方法的交互示意图。如图2b所示,本公开实施例涉及信息处理方法,用于通信系统100,上述方法包括:
步骤S2201:网络设备向终端发送第一信息。
在一些实施例中,终端接收网络设备发送的第一信息。
在一些实施例中,步骤S2201的可选实现方式可以参见图2a的步骤S2101的可选实现方式、及图2a所涉及的实施例中其他关联部分,此处不再赘述。
步骤S2202:网络设备确定是否向终端发送第二省电信号。
在一些实施例中,第二省电信号可以为唤醒信号,例如,唤醒信号可以为低功耗唤醒信号。或者,第二省电信号也可以为休眠信号。
在一些实施例中,网络设备根据是否需要终端转换SSSG,确定是否向终端发送第二省电信号。
在一些实施例中,网络设备需要终端转换SSSG时,确定向终端发送第二省电信号。
在一些实施例中,网络设备需要终端转换SSSG时,确定不向终端发送第二省电信号。
在一些实施例中,网络设备不需要终端转换SSSG时,确定向终端发送第二省电信号。
在一些实施例中,网络设备不需要终端转换SSSG时,确定不向终端发送第二省电信号。
步骤S2203:网络设备向终端发送第二省电信号。
在一些实施例中,终端接收网络设备发送的第二省电信号。
在一些实施例中,网络设备向激活省电信号检测功能的终端发送第二省电信号。
在一些实施例中,第二省电信号的检测结果用于确定是否转换SSSG。
在一些实施例中,第二省电信号可以为LP-WUS。
在一些实施例中,所述第二省电信号用于显式指示所述终端转换到第一SSSG;所述第一SSSG为配置给所述终端的多个SSSG中的任意一个。
示例性地,当激活了终端的LP-WUS检测时,可以通过LP-WUS来指示终端要转换到的一个SSSG。采用这种方法,UE可以以极低的功耗来接收SSSG转换的信息,并且,通过配置频繁的LP-WUS资源,可以降低SSSG转换的时延,从而优化终端的省电以及提高PDCCH传输的灵活性,提高数据传输性能。
示例性地,假设配置了两个SSSG,可以用LP-WUS携带一个比特信息来指示。假设配置了三个SSSG,可以用LP-WUS传输的两个比特信息来指示。或者,假设配置了三个SSSG,可以分别用LP-WUS传输的三个序列之一来指示。采用这个方法,可以不需要在DCI格式,例如DCI 0-1、1-1中配置指示SSSG switching的信息域。
在一些实施例中,所述第二省电信号用于显式指示所述终端是保持工作在当前的SSSG还是切换到第二SSSG;所述第二SSSG为所述多个SSSG中指定的SSSG。
示例性地,LP-WUS可以是携带一比特信息,该比特信息用于指示继续采用当前的SSSG,除非收到其他SSSG switching的指示信息;或者,该比特信息用于指示转换到一个固定的SSSG,例如,SSSG #0,即对应Beh 2。
在一些实施例中,所述第二省电信号用于隐式指示所述终端转换到所述第二SSSG;所述第二SSSG为所述多个SSSG中指定的SSSG。
示例性地,LP-WUS可以是指示转换到一个固定的SSSG,例如,SSSG #0,即对应Beh 2;当终端未收到LP-WUS时,终端继续采用当前的SSSG,除非收到其他SSSG转换的指示信息。采用这种方法,可以仍然相关指示从SSSG #0转换到其他SSSG(即对应Beh 2A或者Beh 2B)。
例如,当终端配置了三个SSSG时,因为DCI不需要指示转换到SSSG #0,可以仅采用一个比特来区分转换到SSSG #1或SSSG #2。这种方法减少了MR传输SSSG switching的情况,并且不需要LP-WUS携带额外的信息。
在一些实施例中,所述第二省电信号用于隐式指示所述终端保持工作在当前的SSSG。
示例性地,LP-WUS可以是指示UE继续采用当前的SSSG,除非收到其他SSSG转换的指示信息;当终端未收到LP-WUS时,终端可以转换到一个固定的SSSG,例如,SSSG #0,即对应Beh 2。网络设备需要持续发送UE的LP-WUS,直到需要指示终端转换到上述固定的SSSG。网络设备可以是在LP-WUS位置上不发送这个终端的LP-WUS信息,从而终端收不到LP-WUS,使得终端转换到上述固定的SSSG。
在一些实施例中,所述第二省电信号的接收定时与所述终端转换到的SSSG的激活定时之间的延迟与SCS相关。
示例性地,可以定义从LP-WUS的接收定时到实际激活另一个SSSG的延迟。这个延迟可以与子载波间隔(SCS)相关。LP-WUS的定时和下行时隙(slot)或符号(symbol)定时可以是有严格的定时关系,从而终端在检测到LP-WUS之后,得到其对应的下行slot/symbol定时,从而终端可以得到叠加SSSG转换延迟之后的实际SSSG激活定时。例如,以上延迟可以重用现有3GPP标准定义的SSSG转换的时延。
在一些实施例中,所述终端被配置为执行DRX,网络设备向终端发送第二省电信号,包括:
在所述DRX的开启时段之前,网络设备向终端发送第二省电信号;
或者,在所述DRX的开启时段之前以及所述DRX的开启时段内,网络设备向终端发送第二省电信号。
例如,当配置终端执行C-DRX时,可以向网络设备向终端发送第二省电信号,使得终端在转换到DRX的开启时段之前检测LP-WUS,LP-WUS指示要激活的SSSG。或者,也可以是在DRX的开启时段之前和DRX的时间段内都检测LP-WUS,LP-WUS指示要激活的SSSG。
步骤S2204:终端检测第二省电信号。
在一些实施例中,终端激活第二省电信号检测功能的情况下,检测第二省电信号。
在一些实施例中,终端使用第一接收机接收第二省电信号。第一接收机例如为低功耗接收机。
在一些实施例中,所述第二省电信号的检测结果用于确定是否转换SSSG。
在一些实施例中,所述省电信号用于显式指示所述终端转换到第一SSSG;所述第一SSSG为配置给所述终端的多个SSSG中的任意一个;或者,
所述省电信号用于显式指示所述终端是保持工作在当前的SSSG还是切换到第二SSSG;所述
第二SSSG为所述多个SSSG中指定的SSSG;或者,
所述省电信号用于隐式指示所述终端转换到所述第二SSSG;所述第二SSSG为所述多个SSSG中指定的SSSG;或者,
所述省电信号用于隐式指示所述终端保持工作在当前的SSSG。
在一些实施例中,所述省电信号的接收定时与所述终端转换到的SSSG的激活定时之间的延迟与子载波间隔SCS相关。
在一些实施例中,终端检测第二省电信号,包括:
所述终端被配置为执行DRX,在所述DRX的开启时段之前,检测所述第二省电信号;
或者,所述终端被配置为执行DRX,在所述DRX的开启时段之前以及所述DRX的开启时段内,检测所述第二省电信号。
在一些实施例中,终端检测第二省电信号,包括:
在载波聚合(CA)的多个载波中的目标载波检测所述第二省电信号;其中,所述第二省电信号用于指示所述目标载波或多个所述载波上的SSSG转换。
在一些实施例中,所述第一第二省电信号包括多个比特域;不同所述比特域用于指示不同所述载波上的SSSG;或者,
所述第二省电信号包括一个比特域;所述比特域用于指示多个所述载波上的SSSG;或者,
所述第二省电信号包括一个或多个比特域的信息;一个所述比特域映射到一个或者多个所述载波上的SSSG;或者,
所述第二省电信号包括一个或多个比特域的信息;不同所述比特域用于指示不同载波组的SSSG。
在一些实施例中,所述第二省电信号包括的一个比特域指示多个所述载波上的SSSG,且不同所述载波的SSSG配置不同;或者,
所述第二省电信号包括的一个比特域指示一个所述载波组的SSSG,且所述载波组内的不同所述载波的SSSG配置不同。
示例性地,对载波聚合(CA)的情况,在一个载波检测的LP-WUS可以指示多个载波上的SSSG转换,即Beh 2或Beh 2A或Beh 2B。
在一些示例中,对应各个载波,LP-WUS可以承载不同的比特域来指示不同的载波的SSSG转换的检测行为,可以最大化各个载波的工作状态的灵活性。
在一些示例中,对应各个载波,LP-WUS可以承载一个比特域来指示多个载波的SSSG转换的检测行为。所述多个载波的SSSG配置可以是相同的。如此可以最小化LP-WUS需要指示的信息量。或者,各个载波的SSSG配置可以不相同。这时,需要定义上述一个比特域的码字与多个载波的SSSG转换的检测行为的映射关系。采用这个方法,可以实现LP-WUS指示的信息量和指示各个载波的SSSG转换的灵活性的折中。
在一些示例中,假设LP-WUS承载了一个或者多个比特域的信息,对每一个载波,基站分别配置SSSG的信息映射到LP-WUS承载的哪个比特域。依赖于基站实现,各个载波可以是映射到不同的比特域,或者两个或者多个载波可以是映射到同一个比特域。上述映射到相同比特域的多个载波的SSSG配置可以是相同或者不同。这种方法通过基站实现来控制LP-WUS的信息量和指示各个载波的SSSG的灵活性。
在一些示例中,假设LP-WUS承载了一个或者多个比特域的信息,每个比特域用于指示一个载波组(Cell Group,CG)的SSSG。基站可以配置一个或者多个CG。同一个CG之内的多个载波的SSSG配置可以是相同的。如果一个CG的各个载波的SSSG配置不相同,则需要定义上述一个比特域的码字与一个CG的多个载波的SSSG的状态的映射关系。上述划分CG的方法可以是基于现有标准中为配置载波组(cellGroupsForSwitchList)处理SSSG switching的方法。或者,上述划分CG的方法可以是基于现有标准中划分执行次载波(SCell)休眠(dormancy)的方法。这种方法通过基站实现来控制LP-WUS的信息量和指示各个载波的SSSG的灵活性。

本公开实施例提供一种信息处理方法,涉及在激活LP-WUS的情况下增强SSSG switching和PDCCH跳过。从而用更低的UE功耗实现更加灵活的转换UE的PDCCH检测行为,支持更好的PDCCH调度灵活性和传输性能。
方案一:LP-WUS检测和PDCCH跳过机制结合。
在未激活LP-WUS检测的前提下,PDCCH跳过机制仍然按照Rel-17中的定义工作。即UE在连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)和在一个时间段内跳过PDCCH检测(即Beh 1A)两种方法之间转换。跳过PDCCH检测的时间段长度可以是一个或者多个。当激活了UE的LP-WUS检测时,可以通过调整PDCCH跳过的时间段长度来控制UE的PDCCH检测行为,从而支持更好的调度灵活性并最大化省电效果。
第一种方法:当UE按照PDCCH跳过机制开始跳过PDCCH检测(即Beh 1A)时,UE检测LP-WUS。LP-WUS可以指示UE是否需要提前结束Beh 1A,回到连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)。基站仅在需要指示提前结束PDCCH跳过时发送LP-WUS。
图6a是一个LP-WUS指示提前结束Beh 1A的示例。特别地,假设配置的PDCCH跳过(即Beh1A)可以有多个时间段S,记时间段Sa<Sb,假设UE在时间段Sb内执行PDCCH跳过,则基站可以用LP-WUS指示UE仅需要在时间段Sa内执行PDCCH跳过,从而UE提前回到连续PDCCH检测。或者,LP-WUS也可以指示UE保持PDCCH跳过状态,UE连续检测配置的LP-WUS,当UE在一个配置的LP-WUS位置上未检测到LP-WUS时,UE回到连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)。基站需要持续发送UE的LP-WUS。当基站需要提前结束Beh 1A时,基站停止传输UE的LP-WUS。采用这个方法,当UE进入PDCCH跳过状态后有新数据到达时,可以降低UE的数据传输时延。
第二种方法:当UE按照PDCCH跳过机制开始跳过PDCCH检测(即Beh 1A)时,UE检测LP-WUS。LP-WUS可以是指示UE是否可以延长PDCCH跳过的时间长度,从而获得额外的省电;如果UE未收到LP-WUS,UE在当前PDCCH跳过时间段结束后,回到连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)。基站仅需要在指示延长PDCCH跳过时发送LP-WUS。
图6b是一个LP-WUS指示延长PDCCH跳过的示例。这里假设PDCCH跳过额外延长了时间X。X可以是预定义的或者配置的。X可以用LP-WUS指示。特别地,X可以等于Beh 1A的时间段长度。或者,LP-WUS也可以是指示UE在当前PDCCH跳过时间段结束后回到连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1);如果UE未收到LP-WUS,则UE延长PDCCH跳过的时间长度,从而获得额外的省电。基站需要持续发送UE的LP-WUS。当基站需要转换UE到连续PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)时,基站停止传输UE的LP-WUS。
第三种方法:当按照PDCCH跳过机制跳过PDCCH检测(即Beh 1A)的时间段S结束后,UE检测LP-WUS从而决定是否开始连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)。以上LP-WUS检测也可以是比时间段S的结束位置更早,从而支持指示UE能否在时间段S结束后的第一个时隙(Slot)开始连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)。LP-WUS可以是指示UE开始连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1);如果UE未收到LP-WUS,UE不执行PDCCH检测,从而获得额外的省电。基站仅需要在指示UE开始连续的PDCCH检测时发送LP-WUS。或者,LP-WUS也可以是指示UE不需要执行PDCCH检测,从而获得额外的省电;如果UE未收到LP-WUS,开始连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)。基站需要持续发送UE的LP-WUS,直到需要指示UE开始连续的PDCCH检测。
采用以上第二种或者第三种方法,当UE进入PDCCH跳过状态后没有新数据到达时,可以通过延长跳过PDCCH的时间段获得额外的省电。
第四种方法:当UE按照PDCCH跳过机制开始跳过PDCCH检测后,UE可以仅通过检测LP-WUS来确定什么时候需要回到连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)。这种基于LP-WUS的检测行为完全替代在一个时间段内跳过PDCCH检测(即Beh 1A)。LP-WUS可以指示UE回到连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)。
图6c是一个LP-WUS指示转换到Beh 1的示例。基站仅需要在指示UE开始连续的PDCCH检测时发送LP-WUS。或者,LP-WUS也可以指示UE保持PDCCH跳过状态,UE连续检测配置的LP-WUS,当UE在一个配置的LP-WUS位置上未检测到LP-WUS时,UE回到连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)。基站需要持续发送UE的LP-WUS,直到需要指示UE开始连续的PDCCH检测。采用这个方法,当UE进入PDCCH跳过状态后,可以支持提前结束PDCCH跳过,也可以支持延长PDCCH跳过的时间长度,从而兼顾省电和数据传输时延。采用这个方法,UE可以在检测每个LP-WUS资
源后,根据检测结果判断是否需要回到连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)。或者,UE也可以在检测每N个LP-WUS资源后,根据这N个LP-WUS资源的检测结果综合判断是否需要回到连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)。例如,只要N个LP-WUS位置的一个LP-WUS指示了需要回到Beh 1,则UE开始连续的PDCCH检测。
第五种方法:基于上述第四种方法,当LP-WUS指示UE进行连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)时,可以进一步指示连续的PDCCH检测的时间段长度T。当时间段T结束后,UE跳过PDCCH检测并检测LP-WUS。上述时间段T的长度可以是预定义的或者配置的一个值。或者,也可以是配置或者预定义多个上述时间段T的长度,并用LP-WUS指示其中的一个值用于连续的PDCCH检测。
第六种方法:UE可以是连续检测LP-WUS,或者按照一个配置的周期检测LP-WUS,LP-WUS指示UE是否需要在下一个PDCCH检测位置(MO)上检测PDCCH。采用这个方法,不需要区分连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)和跳过PDCCH检测(即Beh 1A)。或者,UE可以是仅在按照PDCCH跳过机制开始连续的PDCCH检测(即Beh 1)时,检测LP-WUS,并确定是否需要接收下一个MO的PDCCH。在按照PDCCH跳过机制跳过PDCCH检测(即Beh 1A)时,UE可以不检测LP-WUS。
方案二:LP-WUS检测和SSSG switching机制结合。
在未激活LP-WUS检测的前提下,SSSG switching机制仍然按照Rel-17中的定义工作。即UE在两个SSSG(即Beh 2,2A)或者三个SSSG(即Beh 2,2A,2B)之间转换。当激活了UE的LP-WUS检测时,可以通过LP-WUS来指示要转换到的一个SSSG。采用这种方法,UE可以以极低的功耗来接收SSSG switching的信息,并且,通过配置频繁的LP-WUS资源,可以降低SSSG switching的时延,从而优化UE的省电以及提高PDCCH传输的灵活性,提高数据传输性能。在方案二中,需要定义从LP-WUS的接收定时到实际激活另一个SSSG的延迟。这个延迟可以与子载波间隔(SCS)相关。LP-WUS的定时和下行slot/symbol定时可以是有严格的定时关系,从而UE在检测到LP-WUS之后,得到其对应的下行slot/symbol定时,从而UE可以得到叠加SSSG switching延迟之后的实际SSSG激活定时。例如,以上延迟可以重用现有3GPP标准定义的SSSG switching的时延。
第一种方法:LP-WUS可以指示要转换到的SSSG。例如,假设配置了两个SSSG,可以用LP-WUS携带1个比特信息来指示。假设配置了三个SSSG,可以用LP-WUS传输的两个比特信息来指示。或者,假设配置了三个SSSG,可以分别用LP-WUS传输的三个序列之一来指示。采用这个方法,可以不需要在DCI格式,例如DCI 0-1,1-1中配置指示SSSG switching的信息域。
第二种方法:LP-WUS可以是携带一比特信息,区分:1)继续采用当前的SSSG,除非收到其他SSSG switching的指示信息;2)转换到一个固定的SSSG,例如,SSSG #0,即对应Beh 2。
第三种方法:LP-WUS可以是指示转换到一个固定的SSSG,例如,SSSG #0,即对应Beh 2;当UE未收到LP-WUS时,UE继续采用当前的SSSG,除非收到其他SSSG switching的指示信息。采用这种方法,可以仍然采用Rel-17的方法来指示从SSSG #0转换到其他SSSG(即对应Beh 2A或者2B)。例如,当UE配置了三个SSSG时,因为DCI不需要指示转换到SSSG #0,可以仅采用一个比特来区分转换到SSSG #1或SSSG #2。这种方法减少了MR传输SSSG switching的情况,并且不需要LP-WUS携带额外的信息。
第四种方法:LP-WUS可以是指示UE继续采用当前的SSSG,除非收到其他SSSG switching的指示信息;当UE未收到LP-WUS时,UE可以转换到一个固定的SSSG,例如,SSSG #0,即对应Beh 2。基站需要持续发送UE的LP-WUS,直到需要指示UE转换到上述固定的SSSG。基站可以是在LP-WUS位置上不发送这个UE的LP-WUS信息,从而UE收不到LP-WUS,使得UE转换到上述固定的SSSG。
采用以上方法,当配置UE执行非连续接收(C-DRX)时,可以是仅在转换到DRX ON之前检测LP-WUS,LP-WUS指示要激活的SSSG。或者,也可以是在DRX ON开始前和DRX ON的时间段内都检测LP-WUS,LP-WUS指示要激活的SSSG。
方案三:LP-WUS检测和‘SSSG switching+PDCCH跳过’机制结合。
在未激活LP-WUS检测的前提下,SSSG switching和PDCCH跳过机制仍然按照Rel-17中的定义工作。即UE在两个SSSG(即Beh 2,Beh2A)和1个或者两个时间段长度的PDCCH跳过(Beh 1A)之间转换。当激活了UE的LP-WUS检测时,可以是结合上述方案一和方案二来确定UE行为。
第一种方法:当激活了UE的LP-WUS检测时,可以通过LP-WUS来指示要转换到的一个SSSG,但是LP-WUS不能指示PDCCH跳过。这种方法可以仅用于当UE正在检测某个SSSG的PDCCH时,
即Beh 2,2A。或者,这种方法也可以是用于任何状态,即两个SSSG(即Beh 2,2A)和1个或者两个时间段长度的PDCCH跳过(Beh 1A)。因为UE仅能工作在两个SSSG之一,LP-WUS最多需要携带1比特信息。上述方案二中的四种方法可以用于这种情况。采用这种方法,UE可以以极低的功耗来接收SSSG switching的信息,并且,通过配置频繁的LP-WUS资源,可以降低SSSG switching的时延,从而优化UE的省电以及提高PDCCH传输的灵活性,提高数据传输性能。当UE处于PDCCH跳过状态(即Beh 1A),LP-WUS可以是指示提前结束PDCCH跳过,并指示激活的SSSG。当UE处于PDCCH跳过状态(即Beh 1A),LP-WUS也可以是指示延长PDCCH跳过,并指示激活的SSSG。当配置UE执行C-DRX时,可以是仅在转换到DRX ON之前检测LP-WUS,LP-WUS指示要激活的SSSG。或者,也可以是在DRX ON态开始前和DRX ON的时间段内都检测LP-WUS,LP-WUS指示要激活的SSSG。或者,UE可以是在C-DRX的DRX ON和DRX OFF的时间段内都检测LP-WUS,LP-WUS指示要激活的SSSG。从而,即使在DRX OFF状态也可以触发UE的PDCCH检测和数据传输。
第二种方法:当激活了UE的LP-WUS检测时,当UE按照PDCCH跳过机制开始跳过PDCCH检测(即Beh 1A)时,LP-WUS可以指示调整PDCCH跳过的时间段长度,并指示在PDCCH跳过结束后要转换到的一个SSSG,从而支持更好的调度灵活性并最大化省电效果。这个方法仅适用于UE处于跳过PDCCH检测的状态,即Beh 1A。上述方案一中的六种方法可以用于这种情况。
第三种方法:当激活了UE的LP-WUS检测时,当UE正在检测某个SSSG的PDCCH时,即Beh 2,2A,LP-WUS可以是指示UE转换到一个配置的SSSG或者PDCCH跳过状态,即指示两个SSSG(即Beh 2,2A)和1个或者两个时间段长度的PDCCH跳过(Beh 1A)之一。当UE按照PDCCH跳过机制开始跳过PDCCH检测(即Beh 1A)时,LP-WUS可以是指示一个配置SSSG或者指示调整PDCCH跳过的时间段长度来控制UE的PDCCH检测行为。
方案四:对以上三个方案,基站可以是根据UE所处的状态,即Beh 1/1A/2/2A/2B分别配置LP-WUS资源。
例如,对应不同状态配置的LP-WUS的周期可以是不同的。特别地,假设一个SSSG的PDCCH MO不是频繁出现,那么通过配置更频繁的LP-WUS资源,可以降低触发SSSG switching或者PDCCH跳过的延迟(delay)。
或者,对以上三个方案,基站可以是配置UE同一套LP-WUS资源,而不依赖于UE所处的状态,即Beh 1/1A/2/2A/2B。
方案五:对载波聚合(CA)的情况,在一个载波检测的LP-WUS可以是指示多个载波上的SSSG switching或者PDCCH跳过行为,即Beh 1/1A/2/2A/2B之一。
第一种方法:对应各个载波,LP-WUS可以承载不同的比特域来指示不同的载波的SSSG switching或者PDCCH跳过行为。这种方法可以最大化各个载波的工作状态的灵活性,前提是增加LP-WUS指示的信息量。
第二种方法:对应各个载波,LP-WUS可以承载一个比特域来指示上述多个载波的SSSG或者PDCCH跳过状态。所述多个载波的SSSG配置和PDCCH跳过的配置可以是相同的。这种方法可以最小化LP-WUS需要指示的信息量。或者,各个载波的SSSG配置和PDCCH跳过的配置可以不相同。这时,需要定义上述一个比特域的码字与多个载波的SSSG配置和PDCCH跳过状态的映射关系。采用这个方法,可以实现LP-WUS指示的信息量和指示各个载波的SSSG或者PDCCH跳过状态的灵活性的折中。
第三种方法:假设LP-WUS承载了一个或者多个比特域的信息,对每一个载波,基站分别配置其所处的SSSG或者PDCCH跳过状态的信息映射到LP-WUS承载的哪个比特域。依赖于基站实现,各个载波可以是映射到不同的比特域,或者两个或者多个载波可以是映射到同一个比特域。上述映射到相同比特域的多个载波的SSSG配置和PDCCH跳过的配置可以是相同或者不同。这种方法通过基站实现来控制LP-WUS的信息量和指示各个载波的SSSG或者PDCCH跳过状态的灵活性。
第四种方法:假设LP-WUS承载了一个或者多个比特域的信息,每个比特域用于指示一个载波组(Cell Group,CG)的SSSG或者PDCCH跳过状态。基站可以配置一个或者多个CG。同一个CG之内的多个载波的SSSG配置和PDCCH跳过的配置可以是相同的。如果一个CG的各个载波的SSSG配置和PDCCH跳过的配置不相同,则需要定义上述一个比特域的码字与一个CG的多个载波的SSSG配置和PDCCH跳过状态的映射关系。上述划分CG的方法可以是基于现有标准中为配置载波
组(cell Groups For SwitchList)处理SSSG switching的方法。或者,划分CG的方法可以是基于现有标准中划分执行次载波(SCell)休眠(dormancy)的方法。这种方法通过基站实现来控制LP-WUS的信息量和指示各个载波的SSSG或者PDCCH跳过状态的灵活性。
