DETAILED DESCRIPTION

本公开实施例提出了通信方法及装置、通信设备、通信系统、存储介质。The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a communication method and apparatus, a communication device, a communication system, and a storage medium.

第一方面，本公开实施例提出了一种通信方法，由网络设备执行，所述方法包括：In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a communication method, which is performed by a network device. The method includes:

在上述实施例中，网络设备在发送第一信号时，可以利用该第一信号承载或不承载信息，其中，当第一信号承载信息时，其所承载的信息可以为第一信息，该第一信息可以为：第一信号、第二信号、第三信号中的至少一个信号的相关信息。由此可知，本公开实施例限定了一种第一信号具体是否承载信息的方法，明确了第一信号的传输机制。并且，本公开实施例还限定了当第一信号承载信息时具体要承载什么信息，则确保了第一信号可以成功承载对应的信息，由此，当第一信号的接收端(如终端)接收到该第一信号之后，除了能够基于该第一信号实现该第一信号自身所实现的功能外，还可以基于该第一信号中所承载的信息进行其他的通信操作，提高了通信灵活性和通信效率。In the above embodiment, when the network device sends the first signal, it may use the first signal to carry or not carry information, wherein, when the first signal carries information, the information it carries may be the first information, and the first information may be: related information of at least one of the first signal, the second signal, and the third signal. It can be seen from this that the embodiment of the present disclosure defines a method for determining whether the first signal specifically carries information, and clarifies the transmission mechanism of the first signal. In addition, the embodiment of the present disclosure also defines what information the first signal specifically carries when it carries information, thereby ensuring that the first signal can successfully carry the corresponding information. Therefore, after the receiving end of the first signal (such as a terminal) receives the first signal, in addition to being able to implement the functions implemented by the first signal itself based on the first signal, it can also perform other communication operations based on the information carried in the first signal, thereby improving communication flexibility and communication efficiency.

结合第一方面的一些实施例，在一些实施例中，所述第一信息包括以下至少之一：In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first information includes at least one of the following:

第二信息，所述第二信息为所述第二信号对应的时频同步信息；Second information, where the second information is time-frequency synchronization information corresponding to the second signal;

第三信息，所述第三信息用于指示至少一个小区；所述第三信息所指示的小区包括至少一个第一小区和/或至少一个第二小区，所述第一小区为所述第一信号或所述第二信号所覆盖的小区，所述第二小区为所述第一小区的邻小区；third information, where the third information is used to indicate at least one cell; the cells indicated by the third information include at least one first cell and/or at least one second cell, where the first cell is a cell covered by the first signal or the second signal, and the second cell is a neighboring cell of the first cell;

第四信息，所述第四信息用于指示至少一个小区组；所述小区组中包括至少一个小区，其中，所述小区组中包括有所述第一小区和/或所述第二小区；Fourth information, the fourth information is used to indicate at least one cell group; the cell group includes at least one cell, wherein the cell group includes the first cell and/or the second cell;

第一间隔信息，所述第一间隔信息用于指示所述第一信号与所述第三信号、所述第二信号中的至少之一的时间间隔；first interval information, where the first interval information is used to indicate a time interval between the first signal and at least one of the third signal and the second signal;

第二间隔信息，所述第二间隔信息用于指示所述第一信号与所述第三信号、所述第二信号、point A中的至少之一的频域间隔；second interval information, the second interval information being used to indicate a frequency domain interval between the first signal and at least one of the third signal, the second signal, and point A;

第五信息，所述第五信息包括所述第二信号所要承载的信息的部分内容或全部内容；fifth information, where the fifth information includes part or all of the information to be carried by the second signal;

重复信息，所述重复信息用于指示所述第一信息和/或所述第五信息的重复次数Repeat information, the repeat information is used to indicate the number of repetitions of the first information and/or the fifth information

在上述实施例中，限定了第一信息具体包括哪些内容，以限定当第一信号承载信息时具体要承载什么信息，则确保了第一信号可以成功承载对应的信息，由此，当第一信号的接收端(如终端)接收到该第一信号之后，除了能够基于该第一信号实现该第一信号自身所实现的功能外，还可以基于该第一信号中所承载的信息进行其他的通信操作，提高了通信灵活性和通信效率。并且，在上述实施例中，第一信号所承载的第一信息中还可以包括上述的第一间隔信息和第二时间间隔，由此当终端接收到该第一信号之后，可以基于该第一信号的时域位置和/或频域位置结合该第一时间间隔和/或第二时间间隔确定出第二信号和/或第三信号的时域位置和/或频域位置，从而可以确保终端在对应位置精确地接收该第二信号和/或第三信号，提高了通信精度。并且，由于终端可以确定出第二信号和/或第三信号的时域位置和/或频域位置，则终端无需再通过盲检来接收第二信号和/或第三信号，减少了终端盲检的时间，提高了通信效率。In the above embodiment, the first information is defined to define what content it specifically includes, so as to define what information the first signal carries. Information, it ensures that the first signal can successfully carry the corresponding information. Therefore, when the receiving end of the first signal (such as the terminal) receives the first signal, in addition to being able to implement the function implemented by the first signal itself based on the first signal, it can also perform other communication operations based on the information carried in the first signal, thereby improving communication flexibility and communication efficiency. Moreover, in the above embodiment, the first information carried by the first signal can also include the above-mentioned first interval information and second time interval. Therefore, after the terminal receives the first signal, it can determine the time domain position and/or frequency domain position of the second signal and/or the third signal based on the time domain position and/or frequency domain position of the first signal in combination with the first time interval and/or the second time interval, thereby ensuring that the terminal accurately receives the second signal and/or the third signal at the corresponding position, thereby improving communication accuracy. Moreover, since the terminal can determine the time domain position and/or frequency domain position of the second signal and/or the third signal, the terminal no longer needs to receive the second signal and/or the third signal through blind detection, which reduces the time of terminal blind detection and improves communication efficiency.

For the statement of the description object, please refer to the description in the context of the claims or embodiments, and no unnecessary restriction should be constituted due to the use of prefixes. For example, if the description object is a "field", the ordinal number before the "field" in the "first field" and the "second field" does not limit the position or order between the "fields". "First" and "second" do not limit whether the "fields" they modify are in the same message, nor do they limit the order of the "first field" and the "second field". For another example, if the description object is a "level", the ordinal number before the "level" in the "first level" and the "second level" does not limit the priority between the "levels". For another example, the number of description objects is not limited by the ordinal number and can be one or more. Taking "first device" as an example, the number of "devices" can be one or more. In addition, the objects modified by different prefixes can be the same or different. For example, if the description object is "device", then the "first device" and the "second device" can be the same device or different devices, and their types can be the same or different; for another example, if the description object is "information", then the "first information" and the "second information" can be the same information or different information, and their contents can be the same or different.

可选地，前述的LP WUS可以是由网络设备发送至终端的，且可以由终端的低功耗唤醒接收机(low power wake up receive，LP-WUR)接收。LP WUS可以用于指示终端唤醒主无线电(main radio，MR)，以使得终端可以使用该MR来正常处理下行和/或上行数据，或者，LP WUS可以用于指示终端不唤醒MR或改变MR的睡眠状态，如在超级深度睡眠(Ultra-deep sleep)、深度睡眠(Deep Sleep)、轻度睡眠(Light Sleep)、浅睡眠(Micro sleep)等状态中的任意相互切换，以此达到省电的目的。可选地，LP WUS可能用于无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control，RRC)连接态(connected)、非激活态(inactive)、空闲态(idle)等状态下的终端。可选地，LP WUR的工作方式有两种，一种是always ON，另一种是duty cycle。对于always ON模式，终端的LP WUR总是处在开的状态，网络设备可以随时发送LP WUS。对于duty cycle模式，终端根据某种机制，仅在LP WUS的监听时间窗口打开LP WUR，网络设备也只能在该时间段内发送LP WUS。Optionally, the aforementioned LP WUS may be sent by a network device to a terminal and received by the terminal's low-power wake-up receiver (LP-WUR). The LP WUS may be used to instruct the terminal to wake up the main radio (MR) so that the terminal can use the MR to process downlink and/or uplink data normally. Alternatively, the LP WUS may be used to instruct the terminal not to wake up the MR or to change the MR's sleep state, such as switching between ultra-deep sleep, deep sleep, light sleep, or micro sleep, to achieve power conservation. Alternatively, the LP WUS may be used for terminals in Radio Resource Control (RRC) connected, inactive, or idle states. The LP WUR may operate in two modes: always on and duty cycle. In always-on mode, the terminal's LP WUR is always on, and the network device can send LP WUS at any time. In duty cycle mode, the terminal uses a mechanism to only enable LP WUR during the LP WUS listening window, and the network device can only send LP WUS during this time period.

可选地，在一些实施例之中，考虑到LP WUR工作过程中的时频偏，引入了同步信号来实现终端对于LP WUS接收的时频同步。其中，该同步信号可以是重用现有的主同步信号(primary synchronization signal，PSS)和/或辅同步信号(secondary synchronization signal，SSS)，或者该同步信号可以是低功耗同步信号(Low Power Synchronization Signals，LP SS)。可选地，当同步信号为LP SS时，通常可以使得LP SS承载一些信息，以便使得终端除了能够基于该LP SS实现该LP SS自身的功能(即实现LP WUS接收的时频同步)外，还可以基于该LP SS所承载的信息进行一些其他通信操作，以此来提高通信效率和通信灵活性。但是，LP SS目前具体采用何种方式来承载信息还未给出明确定义。Optionally, in some embodiments, taking into account the time-frequency deviation during the operation of the LP WUR, a synchronization signal is introduced to achieve time-frequency synchronization of the terminal for the LP WUS reception. The synchronization signal may be a reused primary synchronization signal (PSS) and/or secondary synchronization signal (SSS), or the synchronization signal may be a low power synchronization signal (LP SS). Optionally, when the synchronization signal is an LP SS, the LP SS may generally carry some information so that the terminal can realize the function of the LP SS itself based on the LP SS (i.e., realize the time-frequency synchronization of the LP WUS reception). In addition to synchronization, other communication operations can also be performed based on the information carried by the LP SS to improve communication efficiency and flexibility. However, the specific method used by the LP SS to carry information has not yet been clearly defined.

可选地，在一些实施例之中，LP SS的调制方式通常为基于开关键控的正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing On-Off Keying，OFDM-OOK)的调制方式。其中，经由OFDM-OOK调制之后的LP SS可以包括有OOK调制符号和OFDM序列(如OFDM时域序列和/或OFDM频域序列)。以及，当采用OFDM-OOK调制方式调制LP SS时，LP SS承载信息的方式可以包括以下两种：一种实现方式中，可以通过LP SS的OOK调制符号来承载信息；另一种实现方式中，可以通过LP SS的OOK调制符号和OFDM序列来承载信息。基于上述两种实现方式，LP SS的OOK调制符号与OFDM序列设计可以存在以下多种可能性。Optionally, in some embodiments, the modulation scheme of the LP SS is typically an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing On-Off Keying (OFDM-OOK) modulation scheme. The LP SS after OFDM-OOK modulation may include OOK modulation symbols and an OFDM sequence (such as an OFDM time domain sequence and/or an OFDM frequency domain sequence). Furthermore, when the LP SS is modulated using OFDM-OOK modulation, the LP SS may carry information in one of the following two ways: in one implementation, information may be carried by the OOK modulation symbols of the LP SS; in another implementation, information may be carried by the OOK modulation symbols of the LP SS and an OFDM sequence. Based on the above two implementations, there are multiple possibilities for the design of the OOK modulation symbols and OFDM sequence of the LP SS.

可选示例1：LP SS的OOK调制符号对应为一个固定的OOK图样(pattern)，该OOK调制符号不承载信息，仅OFDM序列承载信息；Optional Example 1: The OOK modulation symbol of LP SS corresponds to a fixed OOK pattern. The OOK modulation symbol does not carry information, and only the OFDM sequence carries information.

可选示例2：LP SS的OFDM序列为固定序列，OFDM序列不承载信息，仅通过OOK调制符号来承载信息；Optional Example 2: The OFDM sequence of LP SS is a fixed sequence. The OFDM sequence does not carry information, and only OOK modulation symbols carry information.

可选示例3：LP SS的OFDM序列与OOK调制符号均承载信息；Optional Example 3: Both the OFDM sequence and OOK modulation symbols of LP SS carry information;

可选示例4：LP SS的OFDM序列与OOK调制符号均不承载信息。Optional Example 4: Neither the OFDM sequence nor the OOK modulation symbols of LP SS carry any information.

可选地，上述的OOK调制符号可以由终端的开关键控低功耗唤醒接收机(On-Off Keying low power wake up receive，OOK LR)检测并接收，上述OFDM序列可以由终端的正交频分复用低功耗唤醒接收机(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing low power wake up receive，OFDM LR)检测并接收。以及，由于在实际网络部署中，既存在支持OFDM WUR的终端，也存在支持OOK WUR的终端，因此考虑到能够全面覆盖所有终端用户以及更高效的传递信息，需要对上述的LP SS的OOK调制符号和/或OFDM序列进行设计，以使其可以承载信息。但是，目前LP SS的OOK调制符号和/或OFDM序列具体如何设计以承载信息还未给出明确定义。Optionally, the OOK modulation symbols can be detected and received by an on-off keying low power wake-up receiver (OOK LR) of a terminal, and the OFDM sequence can be detected and received by an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing low power wake-up receiver (OFDM LR) of a terminal. Furthermore, in actual network deployments, both terminals supporting OFDM WUR and OOK WUR exist. Therefore, to ensure comprehensive coverage of all end users and more efficient information transmission, the OOK modulation symbols and/or OFDM sequences of the LPSS need to be designed to carry information. However, the specific design of the OOK modulation symbols and/or OFDM sequences of the LPSS to carry information has not yet been clearly defined.

并且，进一步地，LP SS具体要承载什么信息也还未给出明确定义。Furthermore, there is no clear definition of what specific information LP SS should carry.

As shown in FIG2A , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a communication method for use in a communication system 100, the method comprising:

步骤2101、网络设备发送第一信号。Step 2101: The network device sends a first signal.

可选地，网络设备可以是向终端发送该第一信号，终端可以接收该第一信号。Optionally, the network device may send the first signal to the terminal, and the terminal may receive the first signal.

可选地，在一些实施例之中，网络设备可以是基于第一配置发送该第一信号。其中，该第一配置例如可以用于配置该第一信号的传输位置，该第一配置可以是协议约定的，或者，该第一配置可以是网络设备自主确定的。其中，当该第一配置为网络设备自主确定时，该网络设备还向终端指示该第一配置。以及，终端可以基于该第一配置来接收该第一信号，具体的，终端可以先基于协议约定和/或网络设备的指示确定该第一配置，再基于该第一配置来接收该第一信号。Optionally, in some embodiments, the network device may send the first signal based on a first configuration. The first configuration may, for example, be used to configure the transmission location of the first signal. The first configuration may be agreed upon by a protocol, or the first configuration may be autonomously determined by the network device. When the first configuration is autonomously determined by the network device, the network device further indicates the first configuration to the terminal. Furthermore, the terminal may receive the first signal based on the first configuration. Specifically, the terminal may first determine the first configuration based on the protocol agreement and/or the indication of the network device, and then receive the first signal based on the first configuration.

以及，在一些实施例之中，该第一信号可以用于实现第二信号接收的时频同步，和/或，该第一信号可以用于确定第三信号的传输位置；其中，该第二信号可以用于以下至少之一：唤醒终端的MR、不唤醒MR、改变MR的睡眠状态；该第三信号可以用于终端与网络设备进行时频同步。Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first signal can be used to achieve time-frequency synchronization of the reception of the second signal, and/or, the first signal can be used to determine the transmission position of the third signal; wherein, the second signal can be used for at least one of the following: waking up the MR of the terminal, not waking up the MR, changing the sleep state of the MR; the third signal can be used for time-frequency synchronization between the terminal and the network device.

以下对第一信号、第二信号、第三信号之间的关系进行详细介绍。The relationship between the first signal, the second signal, and the third signal is described in detail below.

可选地，网络设备通常需要向终端发送第二信号，以用于唤醒终端的MR、或者，不唤醒终端的MR、或者，改变MR的睡眠状态。可选地，上述的“唤醒终端的MR”例如可以理解为：将终端的MR由睡眠状态切换至唤醒状态，其中，MR处于唤醒状态时，终端可以利用该MR正常处理下行和/或上行数据；当终端无需处理下行和/或上行数据时，MR可以切换至睡眠状态以节省电量。可选地，上述的“不唤醒MR”例如可以理解为：将MR从唤醒状态切换至睡眠状态，或者，使得MR继续维持在睡眠状态，以此达到节省电量的目的。可选地，上述的MR的睡眠状态可以包括以下至少之一：超级深度睡眠(Ultra-deep sleep)、深度睡眠(Deep Sleep)、轻度睡眠(Light Sleep)、浅睡眠(Micro sleep)等状态，上述的“改变MR的睡眠状态”例如可以理解为：在超级深度睡眠、深度睡眠、轻度睡眠、浅睡眠等状态中的任意不同睡眠状态中进行切换。其中，终端维持不同睡眠状态时所需消耗的电量不同，因此，网络设备可以出于节省终端电量的目的来向终端发送第二信号以指示终端改变MR的睡眠状态。Optionally, the network device typically needs to send a second signal to the terminal to wake up the terminal's MR, or not wake up the terminal's MR, or change the MR's sleep state. Optionally, the aforementioned "waking up the terminal's MR" can be understood, for example, as switching the terminal's MR from a sleep state to an awake state. When the MR is in the awake state, the terminal can use the MR to normally process downlink and/or uplink data; when the terminal does not need to process downlink and/or uplink data, the MR can switch to a sleep state to save power. Optionally, the aforementioned "not waking up the MR" can be understood, for example, as switching the MR from an awake state to a sleep state, or allowing the MR to remain in the sleep state, thereby saving power. Optionally, the aforementioned MR sleep state can include at least one of the following: ultra-deep sleep, deep sleep, light sleep, or micro sleep. The aforementioned "changing the MR's sleep state" can be understood, for example, as switching between any of ultra-deep sleep, deep sleep, light sleep, or micro sleep. Among them, the power consumption required for the terminal to maintain different sleep states is different, so the network equipment can save the terminal The purpose of the power is to send a second signal to the terminal to instruct the terminal to change the sleep state of the MR.

可选地，上述的第一信号可以是用于实现第二信号接收的时频同步。该时频同步例如可以包括以下至少之一：时域同步、频域同步、时域和频域同步。其中，关于第一信号具体如何实现第二信号接收的时频同步会在后续内容进行介绍。Optionally, the first signal may be used to achieve time-frequency synchronization for receiving the second signal. This time-frequency synchronization may include, for example, at least one of the following: time domain synchronization, frequency domain synchronization, or time domain and frequency domain synchronization. The specific implementation of time-frequency synchronization for receiving the second signal using the first signal will be described later.

可选地，在一些实施例之中，上述的第一信号例如可以为LP SS，第二信号例如可以为LP WUS，但不限于此。可选地，本公开实施例中提到的终端可以为支持LP WUS的终端。Optionally, in some embodiments, the first signal may be, for example, LP SS, and the second signal may be, for example, LP WUS, but is not limited thereto. Optionally, the terminal mentioned in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be a terminal that supports LP WUS.

可选地，上述的第三信号可以用于终端与网络设备进行时频同步。例如，当终端初始接入网络时通常需要接收第三信号来实现终端与网络设备之间的时频同步，该第三信号例如可以为同步信号块(Synchronization Signal Block，SSB)、PSS、SSS中的至少之一。Optionally, the third signal can be used to synchronize the terminal with the network device. For example, when the terminal initially accesses the network, it is usually necessary to receive a third signal to synchronize the terminal with the network device. The third signal can be, for example, at least one of a synchronization signal block (SSB), a PSS, or an SSS.

进一步地，在一些实施例之中，该第一信号可以不承载信息，或者，该第一信号也可以承载第一信息的部分内容或全部内容；其中，该第一信息可以为第一信号、第二信号、第三信号中的至少一个信号的相关信息。示例的，该第一信息可以称为LP WUS辅助信息或LP SS信息。可选地，该第一信息可以包括以下至少之一：Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first signal may not carry any information, or may carry part or all of the first information; wherein the first information may be related information of at least one of the first signal, the second signal, and the third signal. For example, the first information may be referred to as LP WUS assistance information or LP SS information. Optionally, the first information may include at least one of the following:

第三信息，该第三信息可以用于指示至少一个小区，例如，该第三信息可以包括至少一个小区的小区标识(cell Identity，cell ID)；以及，该第三信息所指示的小区可以包括至少一个第一小区和/或至少一个第二小区，该第一小区可以为第一信号或第二信号所覆盖的小区，该第二小区可以为第一小区的邻小区；third information, where the third information may be used to indicate at least one cell. For example, the third information may include a cell identity (cell ID) of at least one cell. The cells indicated by the third information may include at least one first cell and/or at least one second cell. The first cell may be a cell covered by the first signal or the second signal, and the second cell may be a neighboring cell of the first cell.

Furthermore, if the terminal is in a poor channel state, the terminal can also detect and receive the first signal within the total transmission period of the first signal, similarly completing the detection of all the content carried by the first signal, thereby improving the terminal's detection performance for the first signal.

For example, Figure 2D is a schematic diagram of a method for carrying at least one first modulation symbol and a first sequence of the first signal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Among them, the first content "A", the third content "B", and the fifth content "C" do not overlap, and the first content "A" and the second content "Q-A" together constitute the entire content of the first information, the third content "B" and the fourth content "Q-B" together constitute the entire content of the first information, and the fifth content "C" and the sixth content "Q-C" together constitute the entire content of the first information.

可选地，当第一信号采用上述方法三来承载第一信息时，终端在第一信号的每个子时间段都可以完成对第一信号所承载的全部内容的检测，则提高了终端对第一信号的检测灵活性。并且，如果终端未能在第一个子时间段正确接收第一信号，终端可以基于前H个子时间段来合并检测第一信号，从而提高链路性能，H>1，H为正整数。Optionally, when the first signal adopts the above-mentioned method 3 to carry the first information, the terminal can complete the detection of all the contents carried by the first signal in each sub-time period of the first signal, thereby improving the detection flexibility of the terminal for the first signal. The terminal correctly receives the first signal in one sub-time period, and can combine and detect the first signal based on the first H sub-time periods, thereby improving link performance, where H>1 and H is a positive integer.

方法四：在一些实施例之中，第一信号的第一时段内的至少一个第一调制符号可以承载第一信息的第一内容，第一信号的第二时段内的至少一个第一调制符号可以承载第一信息的第二内容，第一信号的第一时段内的第一序列可以承载第一信息的全部内容。示例的，图2E是根据本公开实施例示出的第一信号的至少一个第一调制符号和第一序列承载方式的示意图，如图2E所示，第一信号的第一时段内的至少一个第一调制符号可以承载第一内容“A”，第一信号的第二时段内的至少一个第一调制符号可以承载第二内容“Q-A”，第一信号的第一时段内的第一序列可以承载第一信息的全部内容“Q”。需要说明的是，在本方法四中，未限定第一信号的第二时段内的第一序列的承载方式，可选地，该第二时段内的第一序列可以承载信息也可以不承载信息，其中，当第二时段内的第一序列承载信息时，其可以承载第一信息中的部分内容或全部内容，以及，当第二时段内的第一序列承载第一信息中的部分内容时，其所承载的信息可以为第一内容“A”或不为第一内容“A”，或者，可以为第二内容“Q-A”或不为第二内容“Q-A”，本公开在此不做具体限定。Method 4: In some embodiments, at least one first modulation symbol in the first time period of the first signal can carry the first content of the first information, at least one first modulation symbol in the second time period of the first signal can carry the second content of the first information, and the first sequence in the first time period of the first signal can carry the entire content of the first information. For example, FIG2E is a schematic diagram of the carrying method of at least one first modulation symbol and the first sequence of the first signal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2E, at least one first modulation symbol in the first time period of the first signal can carry the first content "A", at least one first modulation symbol in the second time period of the first signal can carry the second content "Q-A", and the first sequence in the first time period of the first signal can carry the entire content "Q" of the first information. It should be noted that, in this method four, the carrying method of the first sequence in the second time period of the first signal is not limited. Optionally, the first sequence in the second time period may carry information or may not carry information. When the first sequence in the second time period carries information, it may carry part or all of the content in the first information.

It should be noted that in this method 6, the method for carrying the first sequence within the second time period of the first signal is not limited. Optionally, the first sequence within the second time period may or may not carry information. When the first sequence within the second time period carries information, it may carry part or all of the content of the first information. Furthermore, when the first sequence within the second time period carries part of the content of the first information, the information carried may be the first content "A" or not, or may be the second content "Q-A" or not.

As shown in FIG2H , the third time period is the first time period of duration s before the total transmission time period of the first signal, and the fourth time period is the time period of duration d after the third time period. Furthermore, the first modulation symbol of the first signal does not carry any information. The first sequence within the third time period of the first signal carries the second information within the first information, and the first sequence within the fourth time period of the first signal carries the entire content "Q" of the first information. It should be noted that in this seventh method, the method for carrying the first sequence within time periods other than the third and fourth time periods within the total transmission time period of the first signal is not limited. Optionally, the first sequence within such time period may or may not carry information. When the first sequence within such time period carries information, it may carry part or all of the content of the first information. Furthermore, when the first sequence within such time period carries part of the content of the first information, the information carried may be the first content "A" or not, or may be the second content "Q-A" or not. This disclosure does not specifically limit this.

在一些实施例之中，网络设备可以向终端半静态配置“固定图样、第一时段、固定序列”中的至少之一，或者，网络设备可以向终端动态配置“固定图样、第一时段、固定序列”中的至少之一。In some embodiments, the network device may semi-statically configure at least one of "fixed pattern, first time period, fixed sequence" to the terminal, or the network device may dynamically configure at least one of "fixed pattern, first time period, fixed sequence" to the terminal.

可选地，网络设备通过向终端配置该“固定图样、第一时段、固定序列”中的至少之一，以便终端基于网络设备的配置可以知晓“固定图样、第一时段、固定序列”中的至少之一，进而终端可以基于该“固定图样、第一时段、固定序列”中的至少之一确定出第一信号所承载的信息内容，并基于该信息内容进行其他通信操作，提高通信效率和通信灵活性。Optionally, the network device configures at least one of the "fixed pattern, first time period, fixed sequence" to the terminal so that the terminal can know at least one of the "fixed pattern, first time period, fixed sequence" based on the configuration of the network device, and then the terminal can determine the information content carried by the first signal based on at least one of the "fixed pattern, first time period, fixed sequence", and perform other communication operations based on the information content, thereby improving communication efficiency and communication flexibility.

步骤2103、终端确定“固定图样、第一时段、固定序列”中的至少之一。Step 2103: The terminal determines at least one of “fixed pattern, first time period, fixed sequence”.

可选地，终端可以基于协议预定义确定“固定图样、第一时段、固定序列”中的至少之一。或者，终端可以基于网络设备的配置(如半静态配置和/或动态配置)确定“固定图样、第一时段、固定序列”中的至少之一。Optionally, the terminal may determine at least one of the "fixed pattern, first time period, and fixed sequence" based on a protocol pre-definition. Alternatively, the terminal may determine at least one of the "fixed pattern, first time period, and fixed sequence" based on a configuration of a network device (such as a semi-static configuration and/or a dynamic configuration).

步骤2104、网络设备基于第一间隔信息和/或第二间隔信息确定第二信号和/或第三信号的传输位置并在该第二信号和/或第三信号的传输位置上发送第二信号和/或第三信号。Step 2104: The network device determines a transmission position of the second signal and/or the third signal based on the first interval information and/or the second interval information and sends the second signal and/or the third signal at the transmission position of the second signal and/or the third signal.

可选地，该传输位置可以包括时域位置和/或频域位置。以及，网络设备可以基于第一信号的时域位置以及第一间隔信息确定第二信号和/或第三信号的时域位置，基于第一信号的频域位置以及第二间隔信息确定第二信号和/或第三信号的频域位置。之后，可以在第二信号的传输位置(即第二信号的时域位置和/或频域位置)发送第二信号，在第三信号的传输位置(即第三信号的时域位置和/或频域位置)发送第三信号。Optionally, the transmission position may include a time domain position and/or a frequency domain position. Furthermore, the network device may determine the time domain position of the second signal and/or the third signal based on the time domain position of the first signal and the first interval information, and determine the frequency domain position of the second signal and/or the third signal based on the frequency domain position of the first signal and the second interval information. Thereafter, the second signal may be sent at the transmission position of the second signal (i.e., the time domain position and/or frequency domain position of the second signal), and the third signal may be sent at the transmission position of the third signal (i.e., the time domain position and/or frequency domain position of the third signal).

步骤2105、终端基于接收到的第一信息确定第二信号和/或第三信号的传输位置以接收该第二信号和/或第三信号。Step 2105: The terminal determines a transmission location of the second signal and/or the third signal based on the received first information to receive the second signal and/or the third signal.

可选地，终端接收到第一信号之后，可以基于第一信号所承载的第一间隔信息确定第二信号和/或第三信号的时域位置，以及，基于第一信号所承载的第二间隔信息确定第二信号和/或第三信号的频域位置。具体的，在一些实施例之中，终端接收到第一信号之后，终端可以知晓第一信号的实际传输位置，之后，终端可以基于上述的第一间隔信息确定出第二信号、第三信号分别与第一信号之间的时间间隔，并基于该时间间隔和第一信号的时域位置即可确定出第二信号、第三信号的时域位置。同理地，终端可以基于上述的第二间隔信息确定出第二信号、第三信号分别与第一信号之间的频域间隔，并基于该频域间隔和第一信号的频域位置确定出第二信号、第三信号的频域位置。之后，终端可以直接在该第二信号、第三信号的时域位置和频域位置上接收第二信号、第三信号，从而无需通过盲检来接该第二信号、第三信号，减少了终端盲检的时间，提高了通信效率。Optionally, after receiving the first signal, the terminal may determine the time domain position of the second signal and/or the third signal based on the first interval information carried by the first signal, and determine the frequency domain position of the second signal and/or the third signal based on the second interval information carried by the first signal. Specifically, in some embodiments, after receiving the first signal, the terminal may know the actual transmission position of the first signal. Thereafter, the terminal may determine the time interval between the second signal and the third signal and the first signal respectively based on the above-mentioned first interval information, and determine the time domain position of the second signal and the third signal based on the time interval and the time domain position of the first signal. Similarly, the terminal may determine the frequency domain interval between the second signal and the third signal and the first signal respectively based on the above-mentioned second interval information, and determine the frequency domain position of the second signal and the third signal based on the frequency domain interval and the frequency domain position of the first signal. Thereafter, the terminal may directly receive the second signal and the third signal at the time domain position and frequency domain position of the second signal and the third signal, thereby eliminating the need to receive the second signal and the third signal through blind detection, thereby reducing the time of terminal blind detection and improving communication efficiency.

示例的，以第三信号为SSB为例进行介绍，在一个实施例中，当第一信号所承载的第一间隔信息为：第一信号与SSB之间的时间间隔时，若一个使用OFDM LR的终端新进入了小区覆盖范围，且收到第一信号之后，该终端可以根据该第一信号所承载的第一间隔信息获得MR搜索SSB的时域位置，以及，若该终端后续在这个小区里被寻呼，则该终端的MR唤醒之后就可以直接去对应的时域位置上去找SSB或控制资源集(coreset)0，进而减少终端盲检的时间，提高通信效率。For example, taking the third signal as SSB as an example, in one embodiment, when the first interval information carried by the first signal is: the time interval between the first signal and the SSB, if a terminal using OFDM LR newly enters the cell coverage and receives the first signal, the terminal can obtain the time domain position of the MR searching for the SSB according to the first interval information carried by the first signal, and if the terminal is subsequently paged in this cell, the MR of the terminal can directly go to the corresponding time domain position to find the SSB or control resource set (coreset) 0 after being awakened, thereby reducing the terminal blind detection time and improving communication efficiency.

在另一个实施例中，当第一信号所承载的第二间隔信息为：第一信号与SSB之间的频域间隔时，若一个使用OFDM LR的终端新进入了小区覆盖范围，且收到第一信号之后，该终端可以根据该第一信号所承载的第二间隔信息获得MR搜索SSB的频域位置。以及，若该终端后续在这个小区里被寻呼，则该终端的MR唤醒之后就可以直接去对应的频域位置上去找SSB或coreset0，进而减少终端盲检的时间，提高通信效率。In another embodiment, when the second interval information carried by the first signal is the frequency domain interval between the first signal and the SSB, if a terminal using OFDM LR newly enters the cell coverage area and receives the first signal, the terminal can obtain the frequency domain location of the MR search for the SSB based on the second interval information carried by the first signal. Furthermore, if the terminal is subsequently paged in the cell, the MR of the terminal can directly search for the SSB or coreset0 at the corresponding frequency domain location after waking up, thereby reducing the terminal's blind detection time and improving communication efficiency.

在上述实施例中，网络设备在发送第一信号时，可以利用该第一信号承载或不承载信息，其中，当第一信号承载信息时，其所承载的信息可以为第一信息，该第一信息可以为：第一信号、第二信号、第三信号中的至少一个信号的相关信息。由此可知，本公开实施例限定了一种第一信号具体是否承载信息的方法，明确了第一信号的传输机制。并且，本公开实施例还限定了当第一信号承载信息时具体要承载什么信息，则确保了第一信号可以成功承载对应的信息，由此，当第一信号的接收端(如终端)接收到该第一信号之后，除了能够基于该第一信号实现该第一信号自身所实现的功能外，还可以基于该第一信号中所承载的信息进行其他的通信操作，提高了通信灵活性和通信效率。In the above embodiment, when the network device sends the first signal, the network device may use the first signal to carry or not carry information, wherein when the first signal When a signal carries information, the information it carries may be first information, and the first information may be relevant information of at least one of the first signal, the second signal, and the third signal. It can be seen that the embodiment of the present disclosure defines a method for determining whether the first signal specifically carries information, and clarifies the transmission mechanism of the first signal. In addition, the embodiment of the present disclosure also defines what information the first signal specifically carries when it carries information, thereby ensuring that the first signal can successfully carry the corresponding information. Therefore, after the receiving end of the first signal (such as a terminal) receives the first signal, in addition to being able to implement the functions implemented by the first signal itself based on the first signal, other communication operations can also be performed based on the information carried in the first signal, thereby improving communication flexibility and communication efficiency.

本公开实施例所涉及的通信方法可以包括步骤2101～步骤2105中的至少一者。例如，步骤2101可以作为独立实施例来实施，步骤2102可以作为独立实施例来实施，步骤2103可以作为独立实施例来实施，步骤2101+S2102可以作为独立实施例来实施，但不限于此。The communication method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps 2101 to 2105. For example, step 2101 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, step 2102 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, step 2103 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, and step 2101+step 2102 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

在一个网络中，基站能够通过发送LP WUS，唤醒小区中支持LP WUS的终端，或者改变这些终端的睡眠状态。对于支持LP WUS的终端，通过LP WUR接收至少一个LP WUS信号，并根据接收到的LP WUS信号所承载的信息完成MR的唤醒或者睡眠状态改变。其中，MR的睡眠状态的改变是指超级深度睡眠、深度睡眠、轻度睡眠、浅睡眠等状态中的相互切换，MR的唤醒是指MR从任意睡眠状态转换成为唤醒状态。UE在接收LP WUS之前，其LP WUR尝试接收LP SS，以获得LP WUS的辅助信息，或者说是LP SS信息，例如，时频同步信息、cell ID信息、area ID信息、时间间隔信息、频域间隔信息、重复信息、LP WUS的部分唤醒信息、LP WUS全部唤醒信息等，在此不做限制。基站将所述LP SS根据协议定义配置或者基站指示给至少一个UE的配置进行发送，而UE则根据协议预定义配置或者基站配置对LP SS进行监听。In a network, a base station can wake up LP WUS-supported terminals in a cell or change their sleep state by sending an LP WUS. For LP WUS-supported terminals, the base station receives at least one LP WUS signal via an LP WUR and wakes up or changes the sleep state of the MR based on the information carried in the received LP WUS signal. A MR sleep state change refers to switching between super deep sleep, deep sleep, light sleep, and shallow sleep, while MR wakeup refers to transitioning from any sleep state to an awake state. Before receiving an LP WUS, a UE's LP WUR attempts to receive an LP SS to obtain auxiliary information for the LP WUS, or LP SS information, such as time-frequency synchronization information, cell ID information, area ID information, time interval information, frequency domain interval information, repetition information, partial wakeup information for the LP WUS, and full wakeup information for the LP WUS, without limitation. The base station transmits the LP SS according to a protocol-defined configuration or a configuration indicated by the base station to at least one UE. The UE monitors the LP SS according to the protocol-defined configuration or the base station's configuration.

基站向至少1个UE进行发送LP SS，LP SS信息映射到OOK符号和/或OOK符号上的时域或者频域序列。基站向所述至少1个UE发送LP SS的方案包括以下至少之一：The base station transmits an LP SS to at least one UE, where the LP SS information is mapped to OOK symbols and/or a time domain or frequency domain sequence on the OOK symbols. The scheme for the base station to transmit the LP SS to the at least one UE includes at least one of the following:

可选示例1：Optional Example 1:

基站确定一个固定的OOK pattern向至少1个UE发送LP SS，所述固定的OOK pattern携带固定信息或者不携带信息。所述固定的OOK pattern由协议预定义，或者由基站半静态配置给所述至少一个UE，或者由基站动态配置给所述至少一个UE。The base station determines a fixed OOK pattern and sends an LPSS to at least one UE. The fixed OOK pattern carries fixed information or no information. The fixed OOK pattern is predefined by a protocol, semi-statically configured by the base station, or dynamically configured by the base station.

可选示例2：Optional Example 2:

基站确定一个随机的OOK pattern向至少1个UE发送LP SS，所述随机的OOK pattern不携带信息。The base station determines a random OOK pattern and sends an LP SS to at least one UE, where the random OOK pattern does not carry any information.

可选示例3：Optional Example 3:

基站确定向至少一个UE发送时长d上的LP SS。所述时长d由协议预定义，或者由基站半静态配置给所述至少一个UE，或者由基站动态配置给所述至少一个UE。所述d为LP SS时长D的子集。The base station determines to send an LP SS of duration d to at least one UE. The duration d is predefined by a protocol, semi-statically configured by the base station for the at least one UE, or dynamically configured by the base station for the at least one UE.

In the rest of the LPSS, excluding time period d, OOK modulation carries information Q-A, and the time or frequency domain sequence of OOK symbols carries information set Q. Figure 2B above illustrates this method. Using this method, time period d preceding the LPSS allows for early completion of LPSS detection.

The OOK symbols in each LPSS segment sequentially carry information sets A, B, C, ...; and the time-domain or frequency-domain sequences of the corresponding OOK symbols sequentially carry information sets Q-A, Q-B, Q-C, .... Figure 2D illustrates this approach. Using this approach, if a UE fails to correctly receive the LPSS based on the first time segment d, it can combine and detect the LPSS based on the first n time segments d, where n > 1, thereby improving link performance.
