For the UE in idle state, RRM measurement and reception of a paging (paging) Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) are required, where the paging PDCCH is a PDCCH scrambled by Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) using a paging-Radio Network temporary Identity (P-RNTI). If received, the paging PDCCH may be used to transmit a Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS) and an Earthquake and Tsunami Warning System (ETWS), and/or to page the UE, or to indicate System information update, when the paging PDCCH indicates scheduling of a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), the PDSCH is used to page the UE.
In a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format of a current paging PDCCH transmission, the format includes the following Information fields:
short message Indicator (Short Messages Indicator), occupying 2 bits;
short Messages (Short Messages), occupying 8 bits;
frequency domain resource allocation (Frequency domain resource allocation), wherein the field contains the information of Frequency domain resource allocation of the PDSCH only when the indication of the short message indication field contains PDSCH scheduling, otherwise, the bit in the bit field is reserved bit.
Time domain resource allocation (Time domain resource allocation) occupies 4 bits, and only when the short message indication field indicates that the scheduling of the PDSCH is contained, the field contains the information of the Time domain resource allocation of the PDSCH, otherwise, the bits in the bit field are reserved bits;

In the DCI format, except that reserved occupies 6 bits, only 3 bits are currently used in 8 bits of the short message, 2 bits are used to indicate reception of CMAS and ETWS, respectively, and 1 bit is used to indicate an unlicensed frequency band.
In the information field of the DCI format, a Short Messages Indicator is used to indicate information included in a paging PDCCH, the Indicator includes 2 bits, and a corresponding manner of the indicated information and a code point combination of the 2 bits is shown in table 1:
TABLE 1 Short Message indicator
| Bit Field (Bit Field) | Short Message Indicator |
| 00 | Reserved |
| 01 | Only scheduling information for paging is present in DCI |
| 10 | Only short messages inDCI |
| 11 | The DCI comprises scheduling information and short message for paging |
When the Short Message indicator uses different code points, the information about whether other information fields in the DCI are valid for transmission is also different, as shown in table 2:
TABLE 2
The CSI-RS in the existing network belongs to the configuration of the connection state, and can only support the UE in the connection state, if the CSI-RS serving the UE in the connection state is further configured to the UE in the idle state through the system information, when the network does not need to continuously transmit a certain CSI-RS for the UE in the connection state or can newly configure a certain CSI-RS for the idle UE, the UE can only be informed to re-receive the system information through the system information change mode.
An embodiment of the present application provides a method for transmitting CSI-RS configuration information, as shown in fig. 2, the method includes:
step 101: the method comprises the steps that a terminal receives first information through a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), wherein the first information comprises at least one of the following items:
whether the network side equipment transmits CSI-RS or not;
CSI-RS configuration information;
whether CSI-RS configuration information is updated;
the first PDSCH is a PDSCH scheduled by a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), and the first PDCCH is a paging PDCCH.
In this embodiment, the terminal receives the first information through the physical downlink shared channel, that is, receives the CSI-RS related information through the physical downlink shared channel, and the network side device does not need to notify the terminal of the CSI-RS related information in a system message change manner, so that even if the terminal is in an idle state, the network side device can indicate the CSI-RS related information to the terminal through the physical downlink shared channel, and support the terminal in the idle state to receive the CSI-RS configuration information or change the configuration information.
In some embodiments, receiving the first information comprises:
receiving indication information through the first PDCCH, and receiving the first information according to the indication information, wherein the indication information comprises at least one of the following items:
first sub-indication information for indicating whether the terminal receives the first information;
second sub-indication information for indicating whether the indication information includes scheduling information.
Wherein the scheduling information may include at least one of:
scheduling information of the paging message;
scheduling information of the first information.
In this embodiment, whether the terminal receives the first information may be explicitly or implicitly indicated by the indication information.
When explicitly indicating whether a terminal receives first information, it may be indicated whether the terminal receives the first information through first sub-indication information, and in some embodiments, the receiving the first information according to the indication information includes:
and if the first sub-indication information indicates that the terminal receives the first information, the terminal acquires the first information from the first PDSCH.
In the DCI format of the existing paging PDCCH, there are some unused bits, so the unused bits in the DCI of the paging PDCCH may be used to indicate whether the UE receives the first information, such as whether to receive an update of the CSI-RS configuration information. In a specific example, 1 bit in DCI of a paging PDCCH may be used to instruct a UE to update CSI-RS configuration information, for example, when the bit is 1, the UE is instructed to update CSI-RS configuration information, and then the UE receives first information in a PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH, that is, a first PDSCH; when the bit is 0, the UE is instructed not to update the CSI-RS configuration information, and the UE does not attempt to receive the first information in the first PDSCH any more. The bit is used as the first sub-indication information, and the first sub-indication information is not limited to occupy 1 bit, and may occupy more bits.
In a specific embodiment, the first sub-indication information may be indicated by a bit in a short message field in downlink control information DCI transmitted by the first PDCCH. Of course, the first sub-indication information may also be indicated by bits not occupied by other fields in the DCI. And if the DCI contains bits indicating that the UE needs to receive the first information, the UE acquires the first information in the first PDSCH.
When implicitly indicating whether a terminal receives first information, whether the terminal receives the first information may be indicated by second sub-indication information, and in some embodiments, the receiving the first information according to the indication information includes:
and if the second sub-indication information indicates that the indication information comprises the scheduling information, the terminal acquires the first information from the first PDSCH.
When the second sub-indication information indicates that the indication information comprises scheduling information, the terminal is implicitly indicated to receive the first information; when the second sub-indication information indicates that the indication information does not include the scheduling information, the terminal is implicitly indicated not to attempt to receive the first information. Therefore, whether the terminal receives the first information or not does not need to be indicated by special information, and signaling overhead can be saved.
The indication information may specifically be DCI of a paging PDCCH, and if the DCI of the paging PDCCH includes scheduling information, the UE attempts to acquire the first information in the scheduled PDSCH, and after receiving the first PDSCH, the UE needs to perform parsing to determine whether the first PDSCH transmits the first information, and if so, the UE acquires the first information. If the DCI of the paging PDCCH does not contain scheduling information, the UE does not attempt to acquire the first information in the scheduled PDSCH.
In this embodiment, the PDSCH indicated by the scheduling information transmits at least one of the following: first information; a paging message. That is, the first information may be transmitted in the same PDSCH as the paging message of the UE, and when no UE is paged, the PDSCH may transmit only the first information; or, when the network side device does not send the first information, the PDSCH may transmit only the paging message, that is, the scheduled PDSCH of the DCI of the paging PDCCH may only contain the paging message without the first information. Of course, the first information may also be transmitted in a different PDSCH from the paging message.
In some embodiments, the second sub-indication information may indicate a bit indication in a short message indicator field in DCI transmitted by the first PDCCH, and of course, the second sub-indication information may also indicate a bit in other fields in the DCI.
In some embodiments, the receiving the first information according to the indication information includes:
if the second sub-indication information indicates that the indication information comprises scheduling information of a paging message, the terminal acquires the first information from the first PDSCH;
if the second sub-indication information indicates that the indication information does not include scheduling information of a paging message, the terminal does not acquire the first information from the first PDSCH.
In the related art, when the short message indicator of the DCI is 'x, 1', the DCI is instructed to include the scheduling information of the paging message, so in this embodiment, when the short message indicator of the DCI is 'x, 1' (x is 0 or 1), the UE may be instructed to further receive the first PDSCH and analyze whether the first PDSCH includes the first information, and if the first PDSCH includes the first information, the UE acquires the first information. That is, the second sub-indication information indicates a bit indication in a short message indicator field in DCI transmitted through the first PDCCH. Further, if the DCI includes a bit indicating that the first information needs to be received, the UE needs to acquire the paging message and the first information in the first PDSCH. Otherwise, the UE acquires the paging message only in the first PDSCH.
In some embodiments, a specific code point (codepoint), i.e., a bit state combination, may be used in the paging DCI to indicate whether to receive the first information. And when the UE detects the preset code point in the DCI, receiving the first information. For example, a short message indicator is used for indicating, and if a bit in the short message indicator field is a preset code point, the terminal acquires the first information from the first PDSCH.
In some embodiments, the preset code point indicates that the first PDCCH includes scheduling information of the first PDSCH, the scheduling information is used for receiving the first PDSCH, and when the preset code point indicates that the first PDCCH includes the scheduling information of the first PDSCH, the UE receives the first information, that is, the preset code point implicitly indicates the UE to acquire the first information. In a specific example, the predetermined code point may be 0, 0.
In some embodiments, the preset code point may also indicate that the first PDSCH only includes the first information, i.e., the preset code point explicitly indicates the UE to acquire the first information.
In a specific example, a bit in a short message indicator field in the paging DCI may be used to indicate that the PDCCH includes neither a short message nor reception of a paging message (i.e., does not include scheduling information of paging), and in this case, a code point in the short message indicator field may be '0, 0'. Further, the UE may also be indicated to receive the first information by using a code point '0, 0', that is, when the code point in the short message indicator field is '0, 0', the PDCCH is indicated to include scheduling information, and the scheduling information is used for receiving the first PDSCH. At this time, since the code point '0, 0' indicates that the PDCCH does not include the short message and does not indicate the reception of the paging message, only the first information is included in the scheduled PDSCH.
It is to be noted that, in this embodiment, the PDSCH indicated by the scheduling information may transmit the first information and the paging message, or may transmit only the first message or the paging message.
In some embodiments, receiving the first information comprises:
and receiving a wake-up signal of a paging message, and receiving the first information according to the wake-up signal, wherein the wake-up signal is used for indicating whether the terminal receives the first information.
That is, for the reception of paging, a wake-up signal is introduced, which is used to indicate whether the UE needs to perform the reception of the paging PDCCH and/or the paging PDSCH in the next a (a > -1) paging frames PF or paging occasions PO.
Wherein the wake-up signal may indicate whether the terminal receives the first PDCCH and/or the first PDSCH. If the wake-up signal indicates that the terminal receives the first PDSCH, the terminal may acquire first information on the first PDSCH; if the wake-up signal indicates that the terminal receives the first PDCCH, the terminal may receive the first PDCCH, then receive the first PDSCH scheduled by the first PDCCH, and obtain the first information on the first PDSCH.
In some embodiments, the wake-up signal comprises at least one of:
a control channel including an indication information bit to indicate whether the terminal receives the first information;
a sequence to indicate whether the terminal receives the first information.
If the wake-up signal is a control channel, an indication information bit may be included in the control channel to indicate whether the UE receives the first information. If the wake-up signal is a sequence, the generation of the sequence is related to the indication of whether the UE receives the first information, that is, different sequences may be used to indicate whether the UE needs to receive the first information, and the UE determines whether to receive the first information according to the detected sequence.
Since the wake-up signal may also indicate at least one of the following information: indicating whether UE of a preset group is paged or not and whether a first PDCCH contains a short message or not; after the UE detects the wake-up signal, the UE may execute the above one behavior according to the received control information or sequence, or execute a combination of multiple behaviors. For example, a sequence or control information indicates that a UE of a UE group receives a paging message and receives first information, then the UE of the UE group receives the sequence and then receives the paging message and the first information at the same time. If the wake-up signal is a sequence, the generation of the sequence is associated with the plurality of information.
Regardless of whether the wake-up signal employs a control channel or a sequence, if the wake-up signal indicates the terminal to receive the first information, the method further includes:
and receiving the first PDCCH and/or the first PDSCH in a subsequent paging frames PF or paging opportunities PO, and acquiring the first information, where a is a positive integer, and at this time, the first information may be transmitted in a paging PDCCH or a paging PDSCH.
In this embodiment, a network side device configures a set B of CSI-RS resources or a set of CSI-RS resources through system information, where B is a positive integer, and indicates whether the CSI-RS resources or the set of CSI-RS resources are transmitted through first information, and if the CSI-RS resources or the set of CSI-RS resources are indicated to be transmitted, the UE considers that the network side device transmits the CSI-RS resources or the set of CSI-RS resources, and may receive the CSI-RS resources or the set of CSI-RS resources; and if the CSI-RS resources or the resource sets are not transmitted, the UE considers that the CSI-RS resources or the resource sets are not transmitted by the network side equipment and does not receive the CSI-RS resources or the resource sets.
In a specific embodiment, whether the network side device transmits the CSI-RS includes at least one of:
whether a CSI-RS configured by the network side equipment is transmitted or not, the network side equipment can configure a CSI-RS resource (resource) or a set (set), whether the CSI-RS resource or the set is transmitted or not is indicated through first information, the first information can occupy 1 bit, when the first information is 1, the CSI-RS resource is indicated to be transmitted, and when the first information is 0, the CSI-RS resource is indicated not to be transmitted;
whether each CSI-RS in the M CSI-RSs configured by the network side device is transmitted, where M is a positive integer, the network side device may configure M CSI-RS resources (or sets), and indicate, through the first information, whether each CSI-RS resource (or set) in the M CSI-RS resources (or sets) is transmitted, for example, the first information includes M bits, where the mth bit is used to indicate whether the mth CSI-RS resource is transmitted, where M is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to M. Specifically, when the mth bit is 0, the mth CSI-RS resource or the mth CSI-RS set may be indicated not to be transmitted, and when the mth bit is 1, the mth CSI-RS resource or the mth CSI-RS set may be indicated to be transmitted;
whether the CSI-RS in each of P CSI-RS sets configured by the network side device is transmitted or not, where P is a positive integer, the network side device may configure M CSI-RS resources (or sets), where the M resources (or sets) are divided into P sets, and each set includes at least one resource (or set). Whether the CSI-RS resource (or set) in each of the P sets is transmitted is indicated by the first information, for example, the first information includes P bits, where the P-th bit is used to indicate whether the P-th CSI-RS resource set is transmitted, where P is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to P. Specifically, when the p-th bit is 0, the p-th CSI-RS resource set is indicated not to be transmitted, and when the p-th bit is 1, the p-th CSI-RS resource set is indicated to be transmitted;
and whether all the CSI-RS configured by the network side equipment are transmitted or not can be indicated by the network side equipment through the bit or code point in the first information, and whether all the configured CSI-RS resources are transmitted or not can be indicated by the network side equipment. Or whether configuration information of all CSI-RSs is valid.
The UE can receive the CSI-RSs if receiving the indication of the DCI and indicating that the CSI-RSs are transmitted by the network side equipment, and otherwise, does not receive the CSI-RSs or assumes that the CSI-RSs are not transmitted.
In addition, the first information may also indicate an effective time when the CSI-RS configuration information or whether the CSI-RS transmits information. In some embodiments, the terminal determines whether the CSI-RS is transmitted according to the received first information at a second time position after the first time position, where the first time position is located in a current modification period in which the terminal receives the first information, and the second time position is located in a next modification period of the current modification period or is separated from the first time position by a preset time length. If the change cycle is X ms, the UE receives first information indicating whether the CSI-RS resource or the CSI-RS resource set or the CSI-RS resource group or the CSI-RS resource set group is transmitted or not in the X ms, and the first information is effective after T time, or the indication information is effective in the next change cycle, namely whether the CSI-RS is transmitted or not is determined according to the currently received first information in the next change cycle, or one discontinuous reception cycle (DRX cycle) or a plurality of DRX cycles after the first information is received are effective.
In some embodiments, if the first information indicates that the CSI-RS configuration information is changed, the CSI-RS configuration may still be obtained through system information change, that is, if the first information indicates that the CSI-RS configuration information is updated, the method further includes: system information including a CSI-RS configuration is received. The network side equipment indicates the change of the information of the CSI-RS configuration through the first information, and after the UE receives the first indication indicating the change of the CSI-RS configuration information, the UE receives the system information for transmitting the CSI-RS configuration, for example, the CSI-RS configuration information is transmitted in the sib x, and after the UE receives the first information, the UE receives the sib x to acquire the configuration information of the CSI-RS.
After the UE receives the CSI-RS resources configured by the network side device and/or the CSI-RS resources indicated by the first information, the UE may receive the CSI-RS and perform RRM measurement, AGC, synchronization, and the like based on the CSI-RS.

In some embodiments, if the first information and/or the system information indicates that the network side device configures Nmax CSI-RSs, the method further includes:

Wherein the measured value is obtained by using any one of the following quality parameter values:

The preset threshold may be configured for the network side device, for example, configured through system information, or may be agreed by a protocol.
An embodiment of the present application provides a method for transmitting CSI-RS configuration information, as shown in fig. 3, the method includes:
step 201: the method comprises the following steps that network side equipment sends first information through a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), wherein the first information comprises at least one of the following items:
whether the network side equipment transmits CSI-RS or not;
CSI-RS configuration information;
whether CSI-RS configuration information is updated;
the first PDSCH is a PDSCH scheduled by a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), and the first PDCCH is a paging PDCCH.
In the embodiment of the application, the terminal receives the first information through the physical downlink shared channel, that is, the CSI-RS related information is received through the physical downlink shared channel, and the network side device does not need to notify the terminal of the CSI-RS related information in a system message change manner, so that even if the terminal is in an idle state, the network side device can indicate the CSI-RS related information to the terminal through the physical downlink shared channel, and support the terminal in the idle state to receive the CSI-RS configuration information or change the configuration information.
In some embodiments, the method further comprises:
transmitting indication information through the first PDCCH, the indication information comprising at least one of:
the first sub-indication information is used for indicating whether the network side equipment sends the first information or not;
second sub-indication information for indicating whether the indication information includes scheduling information.
Wherein the scheduling information may include at least one of:
scheduling information of the paging message;
scheduling information of the first information.
In this embodiment, whether the terminal receives the first information may be explicitly or implicitly indicated by the indication information.
When explicitly indicating whether a terminal receives first information, it may be indicated whether the terminal receives the first information through first sub-indication information.
In the DCI format of the existing paging PDCCH, there are some unused bits, so the unused bits in the DCI of the paging PDCCH may be used to indicate whether the UE receives the first information, such as whether to receive an update of the CSI-RS configuration information. In a specific example, 1 bit in DCI of a paging PDCCH may be used to instruct a UE to update CSI-RS configuration information, for example, when the bit is 1, the UE is instructed to update CSI-RS configuration information, and then the UE receives first information in a PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH, that is, a first PDSCH; when the bit is 0, the UE is instructed not to update the CSI-RS configuration information, and the UE does not attempt to receive the first information in the first PDSCH any more. The bit is used as the first sub-indication information, and the first sub-indication information is not limited to occupy 1 bit, and may occupy more bits.
In a specific embodiment, the first sub-indication information may be indicated by a bit in a short message field in downlink control information DCI transmitted by the first PDCCH. Of course, the first sub-indication information may also be indicated by bits not occupied by other fields in the DCI. And if the DCI contains bits indicating that the UE needs to receive the first information, the UE acquires the first information in the first PDSCH.
When implicitly indicating whether a terminal receives first information, whether the terminal receives the first information may be indicated by second sub-indication information.
When the second sub-indication information indicates that the indication information comprises scheduling information, the terminal is implicitly indicated to receive the first information; when the second sub-indication information indicates that the indication information does not include the scheduling information, the terminal is implicitly indicated not to attempt to receive the first information. Therefore, whether the terminal receives the first information or not does not need to be indicated by special information, and signaling overhead can be saved.
The indication information may specifically be DCI of a paging PDCCH, and if the DCI of the paging PDCCH includes scheduling information, the UE attempts to acquire the first information in the scheduled PDSCH, and after receiving the first PDSCH, the UE needs to perform parsing to determine whether the first PDSCH transmits the first information, and if so, the UE acquires the first information. If the DCI of the paging PDCCH does not contain scheduling information, the UE does not attempt to acquire the first information in the scheduled PDSCH.
In this embodiment, the PDSCH indicated by the scheduling information transmits at least one of the following: first information; a paging message. That is, the first information may be transmitted in the same PDSCH as the paging message of the UE, and when no UE is paged, the PDSCH may transmit only the first information; or, when the network side device does not send the first information, the PDSCH may transmit only the paging message, that is, the scheduled PDSCH of the DCI of the paging PDCCH may only contain the paging message without the first information. Of course, the first information may also be transmitted in a different PDSCH from the paging message.
In some embodiments, the second sub-indication information may indicate a bit indication in a short message indicator field in DCI transmitted by the first PDCCH, and of course, the second sub-indication information may also indicate a bit in other fields in the DCI.
In the related art, when the short message indicator of the DCI is 'x, 1', the DCI is instructed to include the scheduling information of the paging message, so in this embodiment, when the short message indicator of the DCI is 'x, 1' (x is 0 or 1), the UE may be instructed to further receive the first PDSCH and analyze whether the first PDSCH includes the first information, and if the first PDSCH includes the first information, the UE acquires the first information. That is, the second sub-indication information indicates a bit indication in a short message indicator field in DCI transmitted through the first PDCCH. Further, if the DCI includes a bit indicating that the first information needs to be received, the UE needs to acquire the paging message and the first information in the first PDSCH. Otherwise, the UE acquires the paging message only in the first PDSCH.
In some embodiments, a specific code point (codepoint), i.e., a bit state combination, may be used in the paging DCI to indicate whether to receive the first information. And when the UE detects the preset code point in the DCI, receiving the first information. For example, a short message indicator is used for indicating, and if a bit in the short message indicator field is a preset code point, the terminal acquires the first information from the first PDSCH.
In some embodiments, the preset code point indicates that the first PDCCH includes scheduling information of the first PDSCH, the scheduling information is used for receiving the first PDSCH, and when the preset code point indicates that the first PDCCH includes the scheduling information of the first PDSCH, the UE receives the first information, that is, the preset code point implicitly indicates the UE to acquire the first information. In a specific example, the predetermined code point may be 0, 0.
In some embodiments, the preset code point may also indicate that the first PDSCH only includes the first information, i.e., the preset code point explicitly indicates the UE to acquire the first information.
In a specific example, a bit in a short message indicator field in the paging DCI may be used to indicate that the PDCCH includes neither a short message nor a paging message (i.e., does not include scheduling information of paging), and in this case, a code point in the short message indicator field may be '0, 0'. Further, the UE may also be indicated to receive the first information by using a code point '0, 0', that is, when the code point in the short message indicator field is '0, 0', the PDCCH is indicated to include scheduling information, and the scheduling information is used for receiving the first PDSCH. At this time, since the code point '0, 0' indicates that the PDCCH does not include the short message and does not indicate the reception of the paging message, only the first information is included in the scheduled PDSCH.
In some embodiments, the method further comprises:
and sending a wake-up signal of a paging message, wherein the wake-up signal is used for indicating whether the terminal receives the first information.
That is, for the reception of paging, a wake-up signal is introduced, which is used to indicate whether the UE needs to perform the reception of the paging PDCCH and/or the paging PDSCH in the next a (a > -1) paging frames PF or paging occasions PO.
In some embodiments, the wake-up signal comprises at least one of:
a control channel including an indication information bit to indicate whether the terminal receives the first information;
a sequence to indicate whether the terminal receives the first information.
If the wake-up signal is a control channel, an indication information bit may be included in the control channel to indicate whether the UE receives the first information. If the wake-up signal is a sequence, the generation of the sequence is related to the indication of whether the UE receives the first information, that is, different sequences may be used to indicate whether the UE needs to receive the first information, and the UE determines whether to receive the first information according to the detected sequence.
Since the wake-up signal may also indicate at least one of the following information: indicating whether UE of a preset group is paged or not and whether a first PDCCH contains a short message or not; after the UE detects the wake-up signal, the UE may execute the above one behavior according to the received control information or sequence, or execute a combination of multiple behaviors. For example, a sequence or control information indicates that a UE of a UE group receives a paging message and receives first information, then the UE of the UE group receives the sequence and then receives the paging message and the first information at the same time. If the wake-up signal is a sequence, the generation of the sequence is associated with the plurality of information.

Specifically, when the mth bit is 0, the mth CSI-RS resource or the mth CSI-RS set may be indicated not to be transmitted, and when the mth bit is 1, the mth CSI-RS resource or the mth CSI-RS set may be indicated to be transmitted;

Whether the CSI-RS resource (or set) in each of the P sets is transmitted is indicated by the first information, for example, the first information includes P bits, where the P-th bit is used to indicate whether the P-th CSI-RS resource set is transmitted, where P is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to P.
