Definitions

  • the embodiments of the present application relate to the field of communication technologies.
  • NR New Radio
  • NR New Radio
  • FR2 frequency range 2 operating frequency of NR (>6GHz) is higher. The higher the frequency, the greater the path loss of the signal. Therefore, the design principle of NR is to use narrower beams to transmit signals farther.
  • each RF channel is equipped with a power amplifier (PA).
  • PA power amplifier
  • the energy consumption of PA will account for about 80% of the energy consumption of the entire base station.
  • the current FR1 (frequency range 1) band AAU active antenna unit
  • the current FR1 (frequency range 1) band AAU generally uses 192 antenna units and supports 64 channels, which is much larger than the maximum number of 8 channels in LTE.
  • the average energy consumption of an NR base station is more than three times that of an LTE base station. Nearly 50% of the cost of deploying 5G (fifth generation) networks by operators is electricity costs. More importantly, even when there is no business, the energy consumption of NR base stations is still very high, because even when there is no business, the base station still needs to send public signals, such as SSB (synchronization signal block), SIB1 (1st system information block) and SI (system information), which greatly reduces the energy efficiency of NR base stations. Energy saving in NR networks is an urgent problem to be solved.
  • the secondary cell (SCell) of the terminal device may not send the synchronization signal block (SSB), and the terminal device obtains the downlink synchronization of the SCell through the SSB sent by the special cell (SpCell).
  • the terminal device obtains the downlink synchronization of the SCell through the SSB sent by the special cell (SpCell).
  • the terminal device obtains the downlink synchronization of the SCell through the SSB sent by the special cell (SpCell).
  • the terminal device obtains the downlink synchronization of the SCell through the SSB sent by the special cell (SpCell).
  • SpCell special cell
  • at least one cell sends SSB, and only the cell that sends SSB can be used as the SpCell of the terminal device.
  • the network can dynamically activate and deactivate the SpCell of the UE according to the traffic volume of the NR cell and its neighboring cells, UE measurement reports and other information.
  • the SSB, SIB1 and SI of the cell are stopped from being sent, and the uplink signal sent by the UE is stopped from being received. In this way, the energy consumption of the SpCell can be saved when the traffic volume is low.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the network energy-saving solution.
  • the base station switches the UE to the adjacent cell and informs the adjacent NR base station or LTE base station that the NR cell has entered the energy-saving state.
  • the adjacent NR base station or LTE base station will assume the coverage area and traffic volume of the NR cell.
  • the adjacent NR base station or LTE base station will determine whether to request the NR cell that has entered the energy-saving state to resume normal operation based on its own traffic volume, UE measurement report and other information. For example, when its own traffic volume reaches a certain threshold, it triggers the request to enter the energy-saving state.
  • the NR cell resumes normal operation. When the NR cell resumes normal operation, some UEs that previously switched to the adjacent NR base station or LTE base station may switch back to the NR cell.
  • the NR cell dynamically enters the energy-saving state multiple times, the UE will frequently switch out of the NR cell or frequently reselect the cell, which will affect the user experience.
  • the migration of UEs in the energy-saving state cell to the adjacent cell is bound to increase the load level of the adjacent cell, affecting the service quality of the UEs in the adjacent cell.
  • an embodiment of the present application provides an information processing method and device.
  • an information processing apparatus applied to a terminal device, the apparatus comprising:
  • a receiving unit configured to receive indication information for indicating a first state and a second state of a cell related to downlink transmission
  • a processing unit which receives information from the cell according to the indication information
  • the cell is a cell where the terminal device resides, or a cell to which the terminal device is connected.
  • an information processing method the method being applied to a terminal device, the method comprising:
  • the cell is a cell where the terminal device resides, or a cell to which the terminal device is connected.
  • an information processing apparatus applied to a network device, the apparatus comprising:
  • a sending unit which sends indication information for indicating a first state and a second state of a cell related to downlink transmission to a terminal device, so that the terminal device receives information from the cell according to the indication information
  • the cell is a cell where the terminal device resides, or a cell to which the terminal device is connected.
  • the terminal device can receive indication information of the first state and the second state related to downlink transmission for indicating the cell to which the terminal device is connected or resides, and receive information from the cell according to the indication information.
  • the cell can switch between different states related to downlink transmission, thereby saving the energy consumption overhead of the network device; the terminal device connected to or residing in the cell can receive information from the cell according to the indication information for indicating the first state and the second state of the cell, thereby, when the cell switches between the first state and the second state, the terminal device does not have to switch to other cells, and the terminal device originally residing in the cell does not have to reselect the cell, which can avoid the migration of the terminal device in the energy-saving state cell to the adjacent cell to cause service interruption and increase the load level of the adjacent cell, and ensure that the user experience is not reduced when the cell enters the energy-saving state.

Description

信息处理方法和装置 技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信技术领域。
背景技术
由于NR(新无线)基站需要工作在大带宽(如100MHz)，需要使用大量端口(64T/64R)，更短的TTI(传输时间间隔)(如1ms)，NR基站在基带处理、数字前端等功能上的能耗开销要显著高于LTE(长期演进)基站。而且NR的FR2(频率范围2)工作频率(>6GHz)较高，频点越高时信号的路损越大，因此NR的设计原则是使用较窄的波束使信号传输得更远。这样，NR基站用来做模拟波束赋型的天线单元个数将大大增加，这就导致射频单元和和收发信号的射频通道数也随之增加，每个射频通道设有一个功率放大器(PA)，PA的能耗会占到整个基站能耗的80％左右，随着PA数量增大基站的能耗也随之增加。当前FR1(频率范围1)频段AAU(有源天线单元)一般采用192个天线单元，支持64通道，比LTE最多8通道数要大得多。
根据运营商的数据统计，平均一个NR基站的能耗超过LTE基站能耗的三倍，运营商在部署5G(第5代)网络的成本中，有将近五成是电费开销。更重要的是，NR基站即使在没有业务的时间段，能耗开销还是很大，因为即使在没有业务时基站还是需要发送公共信号，例如SSB(同步信号块)、SIB1(第1系统信息块)和SI(系统信息)等，所以大大降低了NR基站的能源使用效率。NR网络节能是亟待解决的问题。
应该注意，上面对技术背景的介绍只是为了方便对本申请的技术方案进行清楚、完整的说明，并方便本领域技术人员的理解而阐述的。不能仅仅因为这些方案在本申请的背景技术部分进行了阐述而认为上述技术方案为本领域技术人员所公知。
发明内容
在3GPP Rel-15/Rel-16(第三代合作伙伴计划版本15/版本16)中，支持在同频(intra-band)载波聚合(CA)的场景下，终端设备的辅小区(SCell)可以不发送同步信号块(SSB)，终端设备由特殊小区(SpCell)发送的SSB获得SCell的下行同步。 在同一站址，至少有一个小区发送SSB，只有发送SSB的小区才能作为终端设备的SpCell。
为了网络节能，对于UE的SpCell，网络可以根据NR小区及其相邻小区的业务量、UE测量报告等信息动态的激活和去激活，当去激活小区时，停止发送该小区的SSB、SIB1及SI以及停止接收UE发送的上行信号。这样，在业务量较低的情况下，可以节省SpCell的能耗。
图1是网络节能方案示意图，如图1所示，NR小区进入节能状态时，基站将UE切换到相邻小区，并告知相邻的NR基站或LTE基站该NR小区已进入节能状态，相邻的NR基站或LTE基站将承担该NR小区的覆盖区域以及业务量。之后，相邻NR基站或LTE基站会根据自己的业务量、UE测量报告等信息确定是否请求已进入节能状态的NR小区恢复正常工作，例如，当自己的业务量达到一定门限时，触发请求进入节能状态的NR小区恢复正常工作。当NR小区恢复正常工作时，之前切换到相邻NR基站或LTE基站的一些UE可能会切换回该NR小区。
发明人发现，在上述方案中，如果NR小区处于节能状态，意味着该小区无法接收和发送任何信号，因此，原本连接到该小区的UE必须切换到相邻小区，原本驻留在该小区的UE将进行小区重选(cell re-selection)驻留在相邻小区。当NR小区动态地多次进入节能状态，UE将频繁切换出NR小区或频繁小区重选，这样会影响用户体验。另外，节能状态小区的UE迁移到相邻小区势必增加相邻小区的负载水平，影响相邻小区UE的服务质量。
针对上述问题的至少之一，本申请实施例提供一种信息处理方法和装置。
根据本申请实施例的一方面，提供一种信息处理装置，应用于终端设备，所述装置包括：
接收单元，其接收用于指示小区的与下行发送相关的第一状态和第二状态的指示信息；以及
处理单元，其根据所述指示信息，从所述小区接收信息，
其中，所述小区是所述终端设备所驻留的小区，或者所述终端设备连接的小区。
根据本申请实施例的一方面，提供一种信息处理方法，所述方法应用于终端设备，所述方法包括：
接收用于指示小区的与下行发送相关的第一状态和第二状态的指示信息；以及
根据所述指示信息，从所述小区接收信息，
其中，所述小区是所述终端设备所驻留的小区，或者所述终端设备连接的小区。
根据本申请实施例的另一方面，提供一种信息处理装置，应用于网络设备，所述装置包括：
发送单元，其向终端设备发送用于指示小区的与下行发送相关的第一状态和第二状态的指示信息，使所述终端设备根据所述指示信息，从所述小区接收信息，
其中，所述小区是所述终端设备所驻留的小区，或者所述终端设备连接的小区。
本申请实施例的有益效果之一在于：终端设备可以接收用于指示终端设备所连接或所驻留的小区的与下行发送相关的第一状态和第二状态的指示信息，根据该指示信息从该小区接收信息。小区可以在与下行发送相关的不同状态之间进行切换，由此，能够节省网络设备的能耗开销；连接或驻留到该小区的终端设备可以根据用于指示该小区的第一状态和第二状态的指示信息从该小区接收信息，由此，在小区在第一状态和第二状态之间切换时，终端设备不必切换到其他小区，原本驻留在该小区的终端设备也不必进行小区重选，可以避免将节能状态小区的终端设备迁移到相邻小区产生业务中断和增加相邻小区的负载水平，保证了小区进入节能状态时不降低用户体验。

在一些实施例中，小区处于第一状态时发送的下行信号可以比小区处于第二状态时发送的下行信号少。通过使小区在第一状态和第二状态之间切换，能够节省网络设备的开销。
在一些实施例中，网络设备的小区的第一状态可以称为发送状态(TX active)，第二状态可以称为不发送状态(TX inactive)。小区在第一状态和第二状态之间切换，可以称为小区的非连续发送(DTX，Discontinuous Transmission)。
在一些实施例中，小区的第一状态可以包括第一节能状态，第二状态可以包括非节能状态和/或第二节能状态。或者，小区的第一状态可以包括第一节能状态和/或第二节能状态，第二状态可以包括非节能状态。其中，小区处于第一节能状态时发送的下行信号可以比小区处于第二节能状态时发送的下行信号少。

在一些实施例中，在小区的运行期间，小区可以在不同的节能状态之间进行切换。不同节能状态之间的切换可以通过切换小区或BWP(带宽部分)的配置参数来实现，即如果将小区或BWP的配置参数切换到支持相应的节能状态的配置参数，则将小区或BWP切换到了该节能状态。
在一些实施例中，时域节能状态可以包括以下的至少一个：
--停止发送公共信号，例如停止SSB(同步信号块)、SIBs(系统信息块)和/或寻呼(paging)的发送。
--停止发送公共信号和UE专用信号。

在上述时域节能状态中，小区可以在发送或接收分别处于节能状态，或者，小区也可以在发送和接收同时处于节能状态。例如，小区在停止或减少接收信号的状态下，可以正常发送下行信号；或者，小区在停止或减少接收信号的状态下，也可以停止或减少发送下行信号；或者，小区在停止或减少发送下行信号的状态下，可以正常接收信号，等等。
在一些实施例中，从下行发送的角度来看，可以进一步将时域节能状态分为第一时域节能状态和第二时域节能状态。例如，第一时域节能状态可以包括如下的至少一个：停止发送公共信号、停止发送公共信号和UE专用信号。其中，第一时域节能状态对接收信号不做具体限定，即，在第一时域节能状态中，可以正常、停止或减少接收上行信号。
第二时域节能状态可以包括如下的至少一个：以延长的发送周期发送公共信号、发送简化的公共信号、以及正常发送下行信号并停止或减少接收上行信号。其中，在第二时域节能状态中，在以延长的发送周期发送公共信号或发送简化的公共信号的情况下，对接收信号不做具体限定，即，在以延长的发送周期发送公共信号或发送简化的公共信号时，可以正常、停止或减少接收上行信号。
在一些实施例中，频域节能状态可以包括：减小服务带宽。例如，减小初始BWP和专用BWP的上下行带宽。
在一些实施例中，空域节能状态可以包括如下的至少一个：
--减少天线单元或射频收发单元(TxRU)个数；

--减少发送接收点(TRP)个数。
在一些实施例中，功率域节能状态可以包括如下的至少一个：
--减小下行参考信号或公共信号发送功率，例如，减小SSB的发送功率，或减小CSI-RS的发送功率、减小广播信道和寻呼的发送功率，等等；
--减小数据信道的发送功率。
在一些实施例中，上述第一节能状态可以包括：第一时域节能状态，或者，第一时域节能状态与频域节能状态、空域节能状态以及功率域节能状态中的至少一个的组合。
在一些实施例中，上述第二节能状态可以包括：第二时域节能状态、频域节能状态、空域节能状态以及功率域节能状态中的至少一个或组合。
在小区的第一状态包括第一节能状态，第二状态包括非节能状态和/或第二节能状态时，小区在第一状态停止发送公共信号或停止发送公共信号和专用信号，小区在第二状态正常发送信号或者至少在时域上减少发送公共信号。
换句话说，在小区进行非连续发送(DTX)时，小区在不发送状态(第一状态)停止发送公共信号或停止发送公共信号和专用信号，小区在发送状态(第二状态)正常发送信号或者至少在时域上减少发送公共信号。
在小区的第一状态包括第一节能状态和/或第二状态，第二状态包括非节能状态时，小区在第一状态停止发送公共信号或停止发送公共信号和专用信号或者至少在时域上减少发送公共信号，小区在第二状态正常发送信号。

在一些实施例中，指示信息可以包括能够指示小区的第一状态和第二状态的各种信息，该指示信息可以以各种方式进行配置或指示。以下对指示信息进行示例性的说明。
在一些实施例中，可以半静态地配置小区的非连续发送(DTX)。例如，指示信息可以包括第一定时器的配置信息，其中，在第一定时器的运行期间，小区处于第二状态。但是，本申请不限于此，在该第一定时器的运行期间，小区也可以处于第一状态。以下，以在第一定时器的运行期间小区处于第二状态为例进行说明。
在一些实施例中，该第一定时器的配置信息可以包括如下的至少一个：第一定时器的运行时间长度(On-duration)、第一定时器启动时间偏移和第一定时器的启动周 期。
图4是本申请实施例的第一状态和第二状态切换的时刻的一示意图。在一些实施例中，如图4所示，可以在指示信息中指示第一定时器的运行时间长度(On-duration)以及第一定时器的启动周期。其中，在第一定时器的运行时间长度内，小区处于第二状态，在其他时间内，小区处于第一状态。由此，UE根据该指示信息可以确定小区处于第一状态和第二状态的时刻。此外，还可以在指示信息中包括第一定时器启动时间偏移，由此，能够提高第一定时器的配置灵活度。
在一些实施例中，可以通过在系统广播消息中增加关于配置非连续发送(DTX)的信息单元来发送包括第一定时器的配置信息的指示信息。但是，本申请不限于此，也可以通过其他方式发送该指示信息。
在一些实施例中，也可以在指示信息中包括如下的至少一项，UE根据该指示信息确定第一定时器的配置信息：
--小区处于非节能状态的时间长度、周期和在周期中的偏移；
--小区处于第一节能状态的时间长度、周期和在周期中的偏移；
--小区所述第二节能状态的时间长度、周期和在周期中的偏移。
图5是本申请实施例的非节能状态、第一节能状态和第二节能状态切换的时刻的一示意图。在一些实施例中，如图5所示，可以在指示信息中包括第二节能状态和非节能状态的时间长度、周期和在周期中的偏移，在第一节能状态的周期与非节能状态的周期和第二节能状态的周期相同时，可以将第二节能状态和非节能状态的时间长度之和作为第一定时器的运行时间长度，将第二节能状态的周期作为第一定时器的启动周期，将第二节能状态和/或非节能状态的在周期中的偏移作为第一定时器启动时间偏移。
在一些实施例中，可以动态地指示小区的非连续发送(DTX)。例如，指示信息可以包括以下的至少一个：用于指示小区在第一状态和第二状态之间切换的第一信息；以及用于指示小区在非节能和至少一种节能状态之间切换的第二信息。
在一些实施例中，在指示信息包括第一信息的情况下，网络设备可以通过公共信号动态的指示连接到该小区的UE或驻留在该小区的UE：该小区切换到了第一状态(TX inactive)或切换到了第二状态(TX active)，使UE知道该小区停止或减少下行发送的时刻和正常发送下行的时刻。
在一些实施例中，该第一信息可以通过层1(layer 1，L1)或层2(layer 2，L2)的公共信号发送。其中，该L1或L2的公共信号可以是专门的用于指示小区在第一状态和第二状态之间切换的L1或L2的公共信号。但是，本申请不限于此，第一信息也可以通过其他方式发送。
在一些实施例中，第一信息可以包括指示小区进入第一状态的信息以及指示小区进入第二状态的信息；或者，指示小区离开第一状态的信息以及指示小区离开第二状态的信息。
在一些实施例中，第一信息可以包括直接指示该小区的第一状态和第二状态的切换的信息。或者，在小区支持BWP时，第一信息也可以包括用于指示小区在支持第一状态的BWP和支持第二状态的BWP之间切换的信息。例如，在第一信息指示UE切换到小区的支持第一状态的BWP时，UE可以认为小区处于第一状态，在第一信息指示UE切换到小区的支持第二状态的BWP时，UE可以认为小区处于第二状态。
在一些实施例中，在指示信息包括第二信息的情况下，网络设备可以通过公共信号动态地指示连接到该小区的UE或驻留在该小区的UE该小区在不同的节能状态之间的切换。也就是说，可以将小区的节能状态切换指示(第二信息)作为小区的第一状态和第二状态的指示信息。由此，不需要增加专门指示第一状态和第二状态的切换的信息单元。
在一些实施例中，节能状态切换指示(第二信息)可以包括用于指示小区处于时域节能状态、频域节能状态、功率域节能状态和空域节能状态中的一个或多于一个的组合的信息。该节能状态切换指示(第二信息)可以用于将终端设备的配置参数切换为支持时域节能状态、频域节能状态、功率域节能状态和空域节能状态中的一个或多于一个的组合的配置参数。
例如，在节能状态切换指示来指示小区切换到至少包括停止或减少发送下行的节能状态(例如，停止发送公共信号、停止发送公共信号和UE专用信号，或发送简化的公共信号、以延长的发送周期发送公共信号的节能状态)时，小区处于第一状态，当节能状态切换指示来指示小区切换到正常或减少发送下行的节能状态时，小区处于第二状态。
在一些实施例中，节能状态切换指示可以是分别对时域节能状态、频域节能状态、功率域节能状态或空域节能状态的切换指示。节能状态切换指示用于将小区或BWP 配置切换为支持时域节能状态、频域节能状态、功率域节能状态或空域节能状态的配置参数。
在一些实施例中，节能状态切换指示也可以是同时对时域节能状态、频域节能状态、功率域节能状态或空域节能状态的切换指示。节能状态切换指示用于将小区或BWP的配置切换为同时支持时域节能状态、频域节能状态、功率域节能状态或空域节能状态中的多于一种的配置参数。
在一些实施例中，节能状态切换指示可以包括直接指示该小区的节能状态切换的信息。或者，在小区支持BWP时，第二信息也可以包括用于指示小区在非节能BWP和至少一种支持节能状态的BWP之间切换的信息。
在一些实施例中，该第二信息可以通过L1或L2的公共信号发送。但是，本申请不限于此，第二信息也可以通过其他方式发送。
在一些实施例中，用于发送第一信息和/或第二信息的L1的公共信号可以包括由网络节能标识(NES-RNTI)加扰的物理下行控制信道(PDCCH)，用于发送第一信息和/或第二信息的L2的公共信号包括由NES-RNTI加扰的PDCCH调度的MAC控制单元(CE)，其中，NES-RNTI可以由系统广播发送给终端设备。但是，本申请不限于此，L1或L2的公共信号也可以其他形式的公共信号。
在一些实施例中，也可以通过其他方式动态地指示非连续发送(DTX)。例如，指示信息可以包括第二定时器的配置信息，该第二定时器的配置信息可以包括第二定时器的运行时间长度，其中，在第二定时器的运行期间小区处于第二状态。但是，本申请不限于此，在该第二定时器的运行期间，小区也可以处于第一状态。以下，以在第二定时器的运行期间小区处于第二状态为例进行说明。
在一些实施例中，终端设备和网络设备可以同时维护该第二定时器。在第一预设条件满足的情况下，启动或重启该第二定时器，在第二定时器的运行期间，小区切换到第二状态；在第二预设条件满足的情况下，停止第二定时器，在第二定时器超时或停止时，小区切换到第一状态。
在一些实施例中，启动或重启第二定时器的第一预设条件可以包括以下至少一项：从小区接收到的公共信号，或者，从小区接收到终端设备的专用信号。
在指示信息包括第二定时器的配置信息以及用于指示小区在第一状态和第二状态之间切换的第一信息或用于指示小区在非节能和至少一种节能状态之间切换的第 二信息时，启动或重启第二定时器的第一预设条件还可以包括以下至少一项：收到用于指示小区进入第二状态的第一信息，以及收到用于指示小区进入非节能状态和/或第二节能状态的第二信息。
在一些实施例中，在指示信息包括第二定时器的配置信息以及用于指示小区在第一状态和第二状态之间切换的第一信息或用于指示小区在非节能和至少一种节能状态之间切换的第二信息时，停止第二定时器的第二预设条件可以包括以下至少一项：收到用于指示小区进入第一状态的第一信息，以及收到用于指示小区进入第一节能状态的第二信息。
在一些实施例中，包括第二定时器的配置信息的指示信息可以通过系统广播消息发送。但是，本申请不限于此，也可以通过其他方式发送该指示信息。
在一些实施例中，指示信息可以包括第一定时器的配置信息，或者包括第一信息和/或第二信息，或者，包括第二定时器的配置信息。此外，指示信息也可以包括上述信息中多于一个的组合，例如，指示信息可以包括第一定时器的配置信息和第二定时器的配置信息；或者，第一定时器的配置信息和第一信息和/或第二信息；或者，第二定时器的配置信息和第一信息和/或第二信息；或者，第一定时器的配置信息、第一信息和/或第二信息以及第二定时器的配置信息。
以指示信息包括第一定时器的配置信息和第一信息和/或第二信息为例：
在指示信息包括第一定时器的配置信息和第一信息和/或第二信息时，在第三预设条件满足的情况下，停止第一定时器。该第三预设条件可以包括以下至少一项：收到用于指示小区进入第一状态的第一信息，以及收到用于指示小区进入第一节能状态的第二信息。
以指示信息包括第一定时器的配置信息、第二定时器的配置信息、以及第一信息和/或第二信息为例：
在指示信息包括第一定时器的配置信息、第二定时器的配置信息、以及第一信息和/或第二信息时，可以根据第一定时器的配置信息、第二定时器的配置信息、以及第一信息和/或第二信息共同确定小区处于第一状态和第二状态的时刻。例如，小区处于第二状态的时刻可以包括静态配置的非连续发送的周期内有下行发送的时间长度(DTX On duration)，即第一定时器的运行期间，以及动态信令触发小区处于TX active状态的时间，即第二定时器的运行期间。
图6是本申请实施例的启动或停止第一定时器和第二定时器的一示意图。如图6所示，在时刻A，第一定时器启动，在时刻B，UE收到用于指示小区进入第二状态的第一信息或者收到用于指示小区进入非节能状态和/或第二节能状态的第二信息，第二定时器启动，在时刻C，第一定时器超时，在时刻D，第二定时器超时，在时刻E，第一定时器进入下一个启动周期，在时刻F，UE收到用于指示小区进入第一状态的第一信息或者收到用于指示小区进入第一节能状态的第二信息，第一定时器停止。在上述过程中，小区可以在时刻A到时刻D、时刻E到时刻F之间向UE发送下行信号，在其他时刻，小区停止或者减少下行信号的发送。
在一些实施例中，指示信息可以在该指示信息所指示的小区发送；或者，指示信息可以在该小区所属的网络设备中的其他小区发送；或者，该指示信息在与该小区所属的网络设备的相邻的其他网络设备发送。
例如，在指示信息在该指示信息所指示的小区发送时，小区可以在处于第二状态时，向连接或驻留于该小区的UE发送该指示信息；在指示信息在该小区所属的网络设备中的其他小区发送，或者，在与该小区所属的网络设备的相邻的其他网络设备发送的情况下，网络设备可以在各种时刻发送该指示信息。
在一些实施例中，对于一些下行信号，终端设备可以仅在小区处于第二状态的第二期间内接收这些下行信号。这样，小区在非连续发送时，不仅可以节省网络设备的能耗，也有利于节省终端设备的能耗。但是，本申请不限于此，对于一些下行信号，终端设备也可以在小区处于第一状态的第一期间和小区处于第二状态的第二期间内进行接收。这样，能够保证用户体验。
在一些实施例中，终端设备可以在小区处于第二状态的第二期间内，从小区接收系统广播、L1/L2公共信号或寻呼消息，在小区处于第一状态的第一期间内，不从小区接收系统广播、L1/L2公共信号或寻呼消息。

在这些实施例中，终端设备的专用信号可以包括用于调度终端设备的HARQ初传数据的PDCCH。也就是说，终端设备只在小区处于第二状态的第二期间内进行HARQ初传数据的接收。
在这些实施例中，支持DRX(非连续接收)的终端设备在以下条件满足，并且小区处于第二期间时，启动或重启非连续接收开启时间定时器(drx-onDurationTimer)：
[(SFN×10)+subframe number]modulo(drx-ShortCycle)＝(drx-StartOffset)modulo(drx-ShortCycle)，
其中，SFN为系统帧号，subframe number为子帧号，drx-ShortCycle为非连续接收的周期，drx-StartOffset为非连续接收在周期内的时间偏移；
支持DRX的终端设备在第二期间结束时，停止drx-onDurationTimer定时器。

支持DRX的终端设备在第二期间结束时停止drx-RetransmissionTimeUL定时器。
例如，对于支持DRX的UE，Drx-onDurationTimer、drx-InactivityTimer、drx-RetransmissionTimeDL以及drx-RetransmissionTimeUL只能在第一期间启动或重启。并且，在第二期间结束时停止这些定时器。
在一些实施例中，在终端设备仅在第二期间内接收用于调度终端设备的HARQ初传数据的PDCCH的情况下，终端设备也可以在小区处于第一状态的第一期间和处于第二状态的第二期间内接收用于调度终端设备的HARQ重传数据的PDCCH。即，终端设备仅在第二期间接收用于调度终端设备的HARQ初传数据的PDCCH，在第一期间和第二期间接收用于调度终端设备的HARQ重传数据的PDCCH。
例如，对于支持DRX的UE，Drx-onDurationTimer、drx-InactivityTimer只能在第一期间启动或重启，并且在第二期间结束时停止这些定时器；drx-RetransmissionTimeDL、drx-RetransmissionTimeUL可以在第一期间和第二期间启动和重启。
图7是本申请实施例的HARQ初传和重传数据接收时刻的一示意图，其示出了HARQ初传数据仅在第二期间接收，HARQ重传数据在第一期间和第二期间接收的情况。如图7所示，在小区处于第二状态的第二期间，UE-1和UE-2可以进行HARQ初传数据701、702的接收。在小区处于第一状态的第一期间，在UE-2有HARQ重传数据703时，UE-2可以在第二期间内进行HARQ重传数据的接收。在小区处于第一状态的第一期间，UE-1和UE-2不进行HARQ初传数据704、705的接收。
但是，本申请不限于此，终端设备也可以在第一期间和第二期间内，接收用于调度终端设备的HARQ初传数据的PDCCH以及用于调度所述终端设备的HARQ重传数据的PDCCH。
在一些实施例中，终端设备在小区处于第二状态的第二期间内，从小区接收随机接入响应(RAR)；在小区处于第一状态的第一期间内，不从小区接收随机接入响应(RAR)。
在这些实施例中，终端设备在以下条件满足时启动随机接入响应接收定时器：发送完随机接入的msg1或MsgA，并且，小区处于第二期间；终端设备在第二期间结 束时停止随机接入响应接收定时器。
例如，如果RAR只能在第二期间接收，在此情况下，UE只能在第二期间发起随机接入，ra-ResponseWindow和msgB-ResponseWindow只能在第二期间启动。
但是，本申请不限于此，RAR也可以在第一期间和第二期间内接收，在此情况下，UE可以在第一期间和第二期间内发起随机接入，ra-ResponseWindow和msgB-ResponseWindow可以在第一期间和第二期间内启动。

但是，本申请不限于此，参考信号(例如，SS、CSI-RS和DRS)也可以在第一期间和第二期间接收，在此情况下，UE可以在第一期间和第二期间内进行CSI-RS测量、RRM测量、RLM或BFD。
以上对本申请实施例进行了示例性说明，但本申请不限于此，还可以在以上各个实施例的基础上进行适当的变型。例如，可以单独使用上述各个实施例，也可以将以上各个实施例中的一种或多种结合起来。
由上述实施例可知，终端设备可以接收用于指示终端设备所连接或所驻留的小区的与下行发送相关的第一状态和第二状态的指示信息，根据该指示信息从该小区接收信息。小区可以在与下行发送相关的不同状态之间进行切换，由此，能够节省网络设备的能耗开销；连接或驻留到该小区的终端设备可以根据用于指示该小区的第一状态和第二状态的指示信息从该小区接收信息，由此，在小区在第一状态和第二状态之间切换时，终端设备不必切换到其他小区，原本驻留在该小区的终端设备也不必进行小区重选，可以避免将节能状态小区的终端设备迁移到相邻小区产生业务中断和增加相邻小区的负载水平，保证了小区进入节能状态时不降低用户体验。
