Abstract

A wake-up method and apparatus, a storage medium and a terminal are provided. The method includes: monitoring a wake-up Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH); if detecting the wake-up PDCCH, determining to enter a wake-up mode; or if detecting the wake-up PDCCH, and wake-up indication information in Downlink Control Information (DCI) transmitted by the wake-up PDCCH indicates to enter the wake-up mode, determining to enter the wake-up mode, wherein entering the wake-up mode comprises starting an onDurationTimer and/or starting a drx-InactivityTimer.

Claims (39)

1. A wake-up method, comprising:

monitoring a wake-up Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH);

if detecting the wake-up PDCCH, determining to enter a wake-up mode; or

if detecting the wake-up PDCCH, and wake-up indication information in Downlink Control Information (DCI) transmitted by the wake-up PDCCH indicates to enter the wake-up mode, determining to enter the wake-up mode, wherein entering the wake-up mode comprises starting an onDurationTimer;

wherein said monitoring the wake-up PDCCH comprises: monitoring the wake-up PDCCH outside active time and before a start time of the onDurationTimer;

wherein the start time of the onDurationTimer is a frame number or a subframe number at which the onDurationTimer is started.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said monitoring the wake-up PDCCH before a start time of the onDurationTimer comprises:

monitoring the wake-up PDCCH on a frame or a subframe that has an offset of X subframes or X frames from the start time of the onDurationTimer, wherein X is an integer.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the offset of X subframes or X frames is configured via high-layer signaling.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein resource configuration for the wake-up PDCCH is determined via high-layer signaling, and comprises at least one of a start carrier index, a number of carrier bundlings, or a number of repetitions.

5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein said monitoring the wake-up PDCCH comprises:

monitoring a PDCCH in a common search space, and descrambling the monitored PDCCH using a new Radio Network Temporary Identity (RNTI); and

if the descrambling succeeds, determining that the wake-up PDCCH is detected.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said determining to enter a wake-up mode comprises:

if detecting the wake-up PDCCH, detecting a bit in a corresponding position in the wake-up indication information to determine to enter the wake-up mode.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein a number of bits of the wake-up indication information is configured via a high-layer signaling, and is 30 or 56.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the wake-up indication information comprises an identity of a User Equipment (UE) to enter the wake-up mode.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a DCI format of the wake-up PDCCH is a DCI format used to schedule a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH).

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a base station enables monitoring of the wake-up PDCCH via high-layer signaling.

11. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

if not detecting the wake-up PDCCH, determining to enter the wake-up mode.

12. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

if determining to enter the wake-up mode, entering the wake-up mode after a configuration start time.

13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the configuration start time is a number of subframes or slots.

14. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the configuration start time is determined via high-layer signaling.

15. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the configuration start time is determined via the DCI.

16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the configuration start time is determined by an index of the configuration start time which is indicated by the DCI, wherein the index of the configuration start time is an index or number of a plurality of candidate start times configured by high-level signaling.

17. A non-transitory storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising computer instructions, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

monitor a wake-up Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH);

if the wake-up PDCCH is detected, determine to enter a wake-up mode; or

if the wake-up PDCCH is detected, and wake-up indication information in Downlink Control Information (DCI) transmitted by the wake-up PDCCH indicates to enter the wake-up mode, determine to enter the wake-up mode, wherein entering the wake-up mode comprises starting an onDurationTimer;

wherein said monitoring the wake-up PDCCH comprises: monitoring the wake-up PDCCH outside active time and before a start time of the onDurationTimer;

wherein the start time of the onDurationTimer is a frame number or a subframe number at which the onDurationTimer is started.

18. A user equipment comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising computer instructions, which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

monitor a wake-up Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH);

if the wake-up PDCCH is detected, determine to enter a wake-up mode; or

if the wake-up PDCCH is detected, and wake-up indication information in Downlink Control Information (DCI) transmitted by the wake-up PDCCH indicates to enter the wake-up mode, determine to enter the wake-up mode, wherein entering the wake-up mode comprises starting an onDurationTimer;

wherein said monitoring the wake-up PDCCH comprises: monitoring the wake-up PDCCH outside active time and before a start time of the onDurationTimer;

wherein the start time of the onDurationTimer is a frame number or a subframe number at which the onDurationTimer is started.
