The disclosure relates to a field of wireless communication technologies, in particular to a method for monitoring a wake-up signal, an apparatus for monitoring a wake-up signal, and a readable storage medium.
In wireless communication technology, for example, in the 5th Generation (5G) mobile communication technology, in order to reduce the power consumption of a user equipment (UE), a main transceiver of the user equipment can be controlled to go into a sleep state.
A network device may send a wake-up signal, in which it can indicate one or more UEs whether to wake up for downlink monitoring. For example, the wake-up signal includes 16 bits corresponding to 16 UEs, i.e., each bit corresponds to one UE. If a bit value corresponding to a UE is 1 which indicates waking up, the corresponding UE starts its main transceiver for receiving a downlink signal. If a bit value corresponding to the UE is 0 which indicates not waking up, the corresponding UE keeps the main transceiver in the sleep state.
According to a first aspect, a method for monitoring a wake-up signal is provided. The method is performed by a user equipment, and includes:
According to a second aspect, a communication device including a processor and a memory is provided. The memory is configured to store a computer program, and the processor is configured to execute the computer program to implement the first aspect or any possible design of the first aspect.
According to a third aspect, a computer-readable storage medium having instructions (also called as computer programs or programs) stored thereon is provided. When the instructions are called and executed by a computer, the computer is caused to implement the first aspect or any possible design of the first aspect.
The accompanying drawings illustrated herein are used to provide a further understanding of embodiments of the disclosure and constitute a part of the application, and the schematic embodiments of the disclosure and illustrations thereof are used to explain embodiments of the disclosure and do not constitute an undue limitation of embodiments of the disclosure.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with the disclosure and, together with the description, serve to explain principles of embodiments of the disclosure.
Embodiments of the disclosure are further described in combination with the accompanying drawings and specific implementations.
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The following description refers to the accompanying drawings in which the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise represented. The implementations set forth in the following description of embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with embodiments of the disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with aspects related to the disclosure as recited in the appended claims.
The terms used in embodiments of the disclosure are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit embodiments of the disclosure. The singular forms of “a” and “the” used in the disclosure and appended claims are also intended to include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates other meanings. It is understandable that the term “and/or” as used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.
It is understandable that although the terms “first”, “second”, and “third” may be used in embodiments of the disclosure to describe various types of information, the information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the disclosure, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information. Depending on the context, the term “if” as used herein may be interpreted as “when”, “while” or “in response to determining”.
In wireless communication technology, for example, in the 5th Generation (5G) mobile communication technology, in order to reduce the power consumption of a user equipment (UE), a main transceiver of the user equipment can be controlled to go into a sleep state.
A network device may send a wake-up signal, in which it can indicate one or more UEs whether to wake up for downlink monitoring. For example, the wake-up signal includes 16 bits corresponding to 16 UEs, i.e., each bit corresponds to one UE. If a bit value corresponding to a UE is 1 which indicates waking up, the corresponding UE starts its main transceiver for receiving a downlink signal. If a bit value corresponding to the UE is 0 which indicates not waking up, the corresponding UE keeps the main transceiver in the sleep state.
However, if the wake-up signal does not have a grouping function, or the grouping granularity is not fine enough, one wake-up signal may wake up a large number of UEs, which is considered as a false alarm for most of the UEs, and the energy consumption of the UEs that are falsely alarmed may be wasted.
Thus, the disclosure provides a method for monitoring a wake-up signal, an apparatus for monitoring a wake-up signal, and a readable storage medium.
