Abstract

Claims (48)

1 . A method for transmitting information, performed by a base station, comprising:

sending a shared tracking reference signal (TRS)/channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS), wherein the shared TRS/CSI-RS is at least configured for at least one of a user equipment (UE) in an idle state and a UE in an inactive state to complete downlink synchronization and receive a paging early indication (PEI), and the PEI is carried in downlink control information (DCI); and

sending first indication information, wherein the first indication information is configured for the UE to determine whether to complete the downlink synchronization and receive the PEI via the shared TRS/CSI-RS;

wherein:

in response to the first indication information indicating a first value, the first indication information is configured to indicate the UE to complete the downlink synchronization and receive a PEI sent by the base station via the shared TRS/CSI-RS; and

in response to the first indication information indicating a second value, the first indication information is configured to indicate the UE to complete the downlink synchronization and receive the PEI sent by the base station via a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SSB), wherein the first value is different from the second value.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sending the PEI during a SSB cycle associated with the shared TRS/CSI-RS.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein sending the PEI during the SSB cycle associated with the shared TRS/CSI-RS comprises at least one of:

sending the PEI during a SSB cycle to which the shared TRS/CSI-RS belongs; and

sending the PEI during a SSB cycle that is at a preset distance from the shared TRS/CSI-RS in time domain.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

in response to the first indication information indicating a first value, sending the PEI during a SSB cycle associated with the shared TRS/CSI-RS.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sending configuration information carrying the first indication information and second indication information for indicating a transmission resource of the shared TRS/CSI-RS.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein sending the configuration information carrying the first indication information and the second indication information for indicating the transmission resource of the shared TRS/CSI-RS, comprises at least one of:

sending a system message carrying the first indication information and the second indication information; and

sending a radio resource control (RRC) message carrying the first indication information and the second indication information.

7 . A method for transmitting information, performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

in response to a base station being configured with a shared tracking reference signal (TRS)/channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) for at least one of a UE in an idle state and a UE in an inactive state to receive, completing downlink synchronization and receiving a paging early indication (PEI) sent by the base station via the shared TRS/CSI-RS, wherein the PEI is carried in downlink control information (DCI);

receiving first indication information; and

determining, based on the first indication information, whether to complete the downlink synchronization and receive the PEI sent by the base station via the shared TRS/CSI-RS;

wherein determining, based on the first indication information, whether to complete the downlink synchronization and receive the PEI sent by the base station via the shared TRS/CSI-RS, comprises at least one of:

in response to the first indication information indicating a first value, completing the downlink synchronization and receiving the PEI sent by the base station via the shared TRS/CSI-RS; and

in response to the first indication information indicating a second value, completing the downlink synchronization and receiving the PEI sent by the base station via a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SSB), wherein the first value is different from the second value.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein completing the downlink synchronization and receiving the PEI sent by the base station via the shared TRS/CSI-RS, comprises:

completing the downlink synchronization and receiving the PEI sent during a SSB cycle associated with the shared TRS/CSI-RS by the base station via the shared TRS/CSI-RS.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein receiving the PEI sent during the SSB cycle associated with the shared TRS/CSI-RS by the base station comprises at least one of:

receiving the PEI during the SSB cycle to which the shared TRS/CSI-RS belongs; and

receiving the PEI during the SSB cycle that is at a preset distance from the shared TRS/CSI-RS in a time domain.

10 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

in response to the first indication information indicating a first value, receiving the PEI sent during a SSB cycle associated with the shared TRS/CSI-RS by the base station.

11 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

receiving configuration information carrying the first indication information and second indication information for indicating a transmission resource of the shared TRS/CSI-RS; and

completing the downlink synchronization and receiving the PEI sent by the base station via the shared TRS/CSI-RS, comprising:

completing the downlink synchronization and receiving the PEI sent by the base station via the shared TRS/CSI-RS transmitted by the transmission resource.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein receiving the configuration information carrying the first indication information and the second indication information for indicating the transmission resource of the shared TRS/CSI-RS, comprises at least one of:

receiving a system message carrying the first indication information and the second indication information; and

receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message carrying the first indication information and the second indication information.

13 . A communication device, comprising a processor, a memory and executable programs stored on the memory and capable of being run by the processor, wherein when the executable programs are executed by the processor, a method for transmitting information is implemented, the method comprises:

sending a shared tracking reference signal (TRS)/channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS), wherein the shared TRS/CSI-RS is at least configured for at least one of a user equipment (UE) in an idle state and a UE in an inactive state to complete downlink synchronization and receive a paging early indication (PEI), and the PEI is carried in downlink control information (DCI); and

sending first indication information, wherein the first indication information is configured for the UE to determine whether to complete the downlink synchronization and receive the PEI via the shared TRS/CSI-RS;

wherein:

in response to the first indication information indicating a first value, the first indication information is configured to indicate the UE to complete the downlink synchronization and receive a PEI sent by a base station via the shared TRS/CSI-RS; and

in response to the first indication information indicating a second value, the first indication information is configured to indicate the UE to complete the downlink synchronization and receive the PEI sent by the base station via a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SSB), wherein the first value is different from the second value.

14 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having executable programs stored thereon, wherein when the executable programs are executed by a processor, the method for transmitting information according to claim 1 is implemented.

15 . A communication device, comprising a processor, a memory and executable programs stored on the memory and capable of being run by the processor, wherein when the executable programs are executed by the processor, the method for transmitting information according to claim 7 is implemented.
