Abstract

Examples in this application provides methods and devices for sending wake-up signals. One example method may include receiving, from a core network device, a first category which a terminal device belongs to, where the first category corresponds to a first service feature, receiving, from a network device, a configuration of a plurality of wake-up signals, determining a to-be-monitored wake-up signal in the plurality of wake-up signals based on the first category, and monitoring the to-be-monitored wake-up signal.

Claims (46)

1. A method for receiving wake-up signals, comprising:

receiving, from a core network device, a first category which a terminal device belongs to, wherein the first category corresponds to a first service feature and the first category is a probability value that the terminal device is paged;

receiving, from a network device, a configuration of a plurality of wake-up signals;

determining a to-be-monitored wake-up signal in the plurality of wake-up signals based on the first category; and

monitoring the to-be-monitored wake-up signal.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first service feature comprises at least one of a probability that the terminal device is paged, an uplink service trigger type, or a downlink service trigger type.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the configuration of the plurality of wake-up signals comprises a mapping relationship between category information and a wake-up signal; and wherein the to-be-monitored wake-up signal is determined based on the first category and the mapping relationship.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the to-be-monitored wake-up signal is determined based on the first category and a grouping factor.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein determining the to-be-monitored wake-up signal in the plurality of wake-up signals based on the first category comprises:

determining a plurality of to-be-determined wake-up signals in the plurality of wake-up signals based on the first category; and

determining the to-be-monitored wake-up signal in the plurality of to-be-determined wake-up signals based on the grouping factor.

6. The method according to claim 1 , comprising:

sending, to the core network device, a service feature of the terminal device.

7. The method according to claim 1 , comprising:

when the to-be-monitored wake-up signal indicates that the terminal device is to be paged, monitoring a physical downlink control channel in a paging subframe corresponding to the to-be-monitored wake-up signal; or

when the to-be-monitored wake-up signal indicates that the terminal device is not to be paged, skipping monitoring a physical downlink control channel in a paging subframe corresponding to the to-be-monitored wake-up signal.

8. A method, comprising:

sending, to a terminal device, a first category which the terminal device belongs to, wherein the first category corresponds to a first service feature, and the first category is a probability value that the terminal device is paged; and

sending, to a network device, a paging message, wherein the paging message comprises an identifier of the terminal device and the first category, and wherein the paging message indicates the network device to determine a to-be-monitored wake-up signal in a plurality of wake-up signals based on the first category and to send the to-be-monitored wake-up signal to the terminal device based on the identifier of the terminal device.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the first service feature comprises at least one of a probability that the terminal device is paged, an uplink service trigger type, or a downlink service trigger type.

10. The method according to claim 8 , comprising:

determining based on a service feature of the terminal device, the first category which the terminal device belongs to.

11. A communication apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor, configured to:

receive, from a core network device, a first category which a terminal device belongs to, wherein the first category corresponds to a first service feature, and the first category is a probability value that the terminal device is paged;

receive, from a network device, a configuration of a plurality of wake-up signals;

determine a to-be-monitored wake-up signal in the plurality of wake-up signals based on the first category; and

monitor the to-be-monitored wake-up signal.

12. The communication apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the first service feature comprises at least one of a probability that the terminal device is paged, an uplink service trigger type, or a downlink service trigger type.

13. The communication apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the configuration of the plurality of wake-up signals comprises a mapping relationship between category information and a wake-up signal, and wherein the to-be-monitored wake-up signal is determined based on the first category and the mapping relationship.

14. The communication apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the to-be-monitored wake-up signal is determined based on the first category and a grouping factor.

15. The communication apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the determine a to-be-monitored wake-up signal in the plurality of wake-up signals based on the first category comprises:

determine a plurality of to-be-determined wake-up signals in the plurality of wake-up signals based on the first category; and

determine the to-be-monitored wake-up signal in the plurality of to-be-determined wake-up signals based on the grouping factor.

16. The communication apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

send, to the core network device, a service feature of the terminal device.

17. The communication apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

when the to-be-monitored wake-up signal indicates that the terminal device is to be paged, monitor a physical downlink control channel in a paging subframe corresponding to the to-be-monitored wake-up signal; or

when the to-be-monitored wake-up signal indicates that the terminal device is not to be paged, skip monitoring a physical downlink control channel in a paging subframe corresponding to the to-be-monitored wake-up signal.

18. A communication apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor, configured to:

send, to a terminal device, a first category which the terminal device belongs to, wherein the first category corresponds to a first service feature, and the first category is a probability value that the terminal device is paged; and

send, to a network device, a paging message, wherein the paging message comprises an identifier of the terminal device and the first category, and wherein the paging message indicates the network device to determine a to-be-monitored wake-up signal in a plurality of wake-up signals based on the first category and to send the to-be-monitored wake-up signal to the terminal device based on the identifier of the terminal device.

19. The communication apparatus according to claim 18 , wherein the first service feature comprises at least one of a probability that the terminal device is paged, an uplink service trigger type, or a downlink service trigger type.

20. The communication apparatus according to claim 18 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

determine, based on a service feature of the terminal device, the first category which the terminal device belongs to.
