Abstract

A system information updating method, a user equipment and a base station are provided, the method including: receiving, by the wake-up radio (WUR) interface of the user equipment, a wake-up signal sent by the base station, where the wake-up signal is used to wake up a main radio interface of the user equipment and instruct the main radio interface of the user equipment to receive updated system information, the wake-up signal includes system information (SI) update transmission control information, and the SI update transmission control information includes information required for receiving the updated system information; waking up, by the WUR interface of the user equipment, the main radio interface of the user equipment; and receiving, by the user equipment according to the SI update transmission control information through the woken-up main radio interface, the updated system information sent by the base station.

Claims (33)

1. A system information updating method comprising:

receiving, by a wake-up radio (WUR) interface of user equipment, a wake-up signal sent by a base station, wherein the wake-up signal comprises system information (SI) update indication information, and the SI update indication information is used to instruct the user equipment to receive updated system information through a main interface of the user equipment; and

receiving, by the user equipment according to the SI update indication information through the main interface of the user equipment, the updated system information sent by the base station.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the SI update indication information comprises frequency domain resource information required for receiving the updated system information.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the SI update indication information further comprises at least one of the following information: time domain resource information required for receiving the updated system information, and modulation and coding scheme information required for receiving the updated system information.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the wake-up signal is a synchronization frame and/or a wake-up frame, and the wake-up frame is a broadcast frame, a unicast frame, or a multicast frame.

5. A system information updating method comprising:

sending, by a base station, a wake-up signal to a wake-up radio (WUR) interface of user equipment, wherein the wake-up signal comprises system information (SI) update indication information, and the SI update indication information is used to instruct the user equipment to receive updated system information through a main interface of the user equipment; and

sending, by the base station, the updated system information to the main interface of the user equipment.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the SI update indication information comprises frequency domain resource information required for receiving the updated system information.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the SI update indication information further comprises at least one of the following information: time domain resource information required for receiving the updated system information, and modulation and coding scheme information required for receiving the updated system information.

8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the wake-up signal is a synchronization frame and/or a wake-up frame, and the wake-up frame is a broadcast frame, a unicast frame, or a multicast frame.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein based on the wake-up signal being the wake-up frame, the sending, by the base station, the wake-up signal to the WUR interface of the user equipment comprises:

sending, by the base station, the wake-up frame to the WUR interface of the user equipment, wherein the wake-up frame comprises the SI update indication information.

10. An apparatus, comprising: one or more processors configured to receive a wake-up signal sent by a base station, wherein the wake-up signal comprises system information (SI) update indication information, and the SI update indication information is used to instruct the user equipment to receive updated system information through a main interface of the user equipment; and

receive, according to the SI update indication information, the updated system information sent by the base station.

11. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the SI update indication information comprises frequency domain resource information required for receiving the updated system information.

12. The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the SI update indication information further comprises at least one of the following information: time domain resource information required for receiving the updated system information, and modulation and coding scheme information required for receiving the updated system information.

13. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the wake-up signal is a synchronization frame and/or a wake-up frame, and the wake-up frame is a broadcast frame, a unicast frame, or a multicast frame.

14. The apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein based on the wake-up signal being the wake-up frame, the one or more processors further configured to:

receive the wake-up frame sent by the base station, wherein the wake-up frame comprises the SI update indication information.

15. The apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein based on the wake-up signal being the synchronization frame and the wake-up frame, the one or more processors are further configured to:

receive the synchronization frame sent by the base station, wherein the synchronization frame comprises the SI update indication information; and

after receiving the synchronization frame sent by the base station, receive, the wake-up frame sent by the base station, wherein the wake-up frame comprises an SI update indication, and the SI update indication is used to indicate that system information has been updated.

16. An apparatus, comprising:

a first transceiver, configured to send a wake-up signal, wherein the wake-up signal comprises system information (SI) update indication information, and the SI update indication information is used to instruct the user equipment to receive updated system information through a main interface of the user equipment; and

a second transceiver, configured to send updated system information to the main interface of the user equipment.

17. The apparatus according to claim 16 , wherein the SI update indication information comprises frequency domain resource information required for receiving the updated system information.

18. The apparatus according to claim 17 , wherein the SI update indication information further comprises at least one of the following information: time domain resource information required for receiving the updated system information, and modulation and coding scheme information required for receiving the updated system information.

19. The apparatus according to claim 16 , wherein the wake-up signal is a synchronization frame and/or a wake-up frame, and the wake-up frame is a broadcast frame, a unicast frame, or a multicast frame.

20. A system comprising: a base station and user equipment, wherein

the user equipment is configured to receive a wake-up signal sent by the base station, wherein the wake-up signal comprises system information (SI) update indication information, and the SI update indication information is used to instruct the user equipment to receive updated system information through a main interface of the user equipment; and receive, according to the SI update indication information through the main interface, the updated system information sent by the base station; and

the base station is configured to: send the wake-up signal, wherein the wake-up signal comprises the SI update indication information; and send the system information to the main interface of the user equipment.
