- the WUS is a signal indicating whether paging transmission actually exists in a search space for paging of a specific location.
- the base station may transmit the WUS at the WUS transmission location(s) associated with the PO.
- the terminal monitors the WUS transmission location associated with the PO of a specific location, and if WUS is detected at the WUS transmission location, it can expect that paging will be transmitted from the corresponding PO, and if WUS cannot be detected at the WUS transmission location. In this case, power saving can be obtained through an operation that does not expect paging in the corresponding PO.
- WUS defined in the Rel-15 NB-IoT and MTC does not support a separate UE grouping (or grouping) operation, and all WUSs that monitor the same PO in the same WUS-to-PO gap state are possible.
- WUS capable UEs are designed to expect the same WUS, and then, in the present invention, this is expressed as a legacy WUS (legacy WUS) for convenience of description.

- UE group WUS UE group WUS
- all terminals having the same DRX state (DRX or eDRX) and setting the same WUS-to-PO gap are supposed to expect the same WUS.
- the WUS defined in the Rel-15 NB-IoT and MTC is expressed as a legacy WUS. Therefore, when WUS for another terminal using the same PO is transmitted, the terminal always attempts to decode the corresponding paging regardless of its own paging, which reduces unnecessary power consumption of the terminal. It can be a factor to increase.
- Rel-16 discusses the UE group WUS in which terminals monitoring the same PO are grouped into a plurality of groups, and a WUS that can be classified for each group is used.
- a method of configuring a UE group based on the characteristics of a terminal or information on a service targeted by the terminal is being discussed together. Characteristically, based on the information on the average frequency and probability (paging probability) that the terminal receives paging, the terminal and the MME perform negotiation using NAS signaling, and the result is determined. Accordingly, a method of determining the UE group WUS method may be considered. In general, a terminal having a low paging probability may have a relatively high probability of waking up by a WUS for waking another terminal because a case where actual paging transmission is required is low. This is not efficient in terms of power consumption of the UE.
- the probability of transmitting WUS for the terminal may be relatively high, and terminals that do not require paging due to transmission of WUS for the terminal with a high paging probability frequently The probability of waking up may increase.
- the present invention proposes methods for solving this problem.
- WUS resources corresponding to each UE group The structure of hopping according to this time is being discussed.
- different WUS resources may have different actual WUS-to-PO gaps, and when WUS resources for a random UE group are fixed, relative As a result, the power consumption efficiency of UE groups having a large actual WUS-to-PO gap may be relatively degraded.
- WUS resource hopping is applied, since UE groups can have a fair actual WUS-to-PO gap on average, it is possible to gain a gain in terms of fairness in power consumption. However, if a structure in which WUS resource hopping cannot obtain a benefit or cannot be applied may occur, a structure in which WUS resource hopping can be disabled may be required, and the base station and the terminal Information on enable/disable must be recognized in the same way.
- the present invention proposes methods for solving this problem.

- the method described in Method 0 may be used for setting according to the specific state.
- the terminal may determine a period for monitoring the common WUS based on the specific state. For example, consider a case in which a UE that has not been configured with a specific state simultaneously detects a UE group WUS corresponding to a UE group to which the UE belongs and a common WUS corresponding to a plurality of UE groups at the same time every period of the WUS to be monitored. I can.
- the terminal if the terminal is set to a specific state, the terminal attempts the same detection of the UE group WUS every WUS period, whereas the common WUS does not attempt to detect each time and corresponds to a specific location or specific period. It can be decided to try detection only in case.

- Method 1-1 Method for determining whether to monitor common WUS according to a specific state in which the terminal is set
- the method proposed in Method 1-1 may include a method in which the terminal determines whether to monitor the common WUS according to a specific state set in the terminal.
- the method described in Method 0 may be used for setting according to the specific state.
- the base station determines whether to support the common WUS. For example, if the base station does not support the common WUS, the base station notifies the terminal of this through higher layer signaling, and the terminal determines whether to monitor the common WUS through this.
- the present invention extends the concept and proposes a method in which, when a specific state of a terminal is determined through the method described in Method 0, whether to monitor a common WUS is independently determined according to the specific state.
- the method proposed in Method 1-1 may include a method of not always monitoring the common WUS when the terminal is in a specific state. This may be advantageous when the specific state is set for terminals having a low paging probability. As described in Method 1, since terminals having a low paging probability have a low probability of receiving actual paging information, the probability that the actual common WUS is transmitted for the corresponding terminal may also be relatively low. In consideration of such a case, when it is decided not to monitor the common WUS, the corresponding terminal has the advantage of obtaining a power consumption reduction effect. Not monitoring the common WUS may refer to that the terminal skips monitoring of the common WUS.
- the method proposed in Method 1-1 may include a method of always monitoring the common WUS when the terminal is in a specific state. This may be advantageous when the specific state is set for terminals having a high paging probability.
- the probability that the actual common WUS is transmitted for the corresponding terminal may also be relatively high. Therefore, even if the common WUS monitoring of terminals not configured with a specific state is disabled, in the case of terminals with a high paging probability, allowing the common WUS to reduce network overhead of the base station and paging It can be advantageous in terms of reducing paging delay,
- the method proposed in Method 1-1 is that the base station explicitly informs the terminal of independent common WUS information for terminals in a specific state using higher layer signaling (eg, SIB or RRC signaling), or Alternatively, when the terminal is in a specific state, it may be determined not to always see (or see) the common WUS.

- SI system information
- the location of the UE group WUS resource for the UE in a specific state may be configured to be distinguished from the location of the (UE group) WUS resource configured for UEs not in a specific state while supporting WUS. This may be to prevent UEs in a specific state and UEs not in a specific state from being affected by each other's WUS transmission.
- WUS resource hopping is performed only between UE group resources for terminals in a specific state (or a terminal not in a specific state). It can be determined to be applied only between the UE group resources for these.
- FIG. 16 schematically shows an example of the method proposed in Method 2.
- the example of the figure shows a method of designating a separate UE group WUS resource for UEs having a specific state (eg, low paging probability or high paging probability) in the TDM scheme.
- the example in the figure is only one example showing the form in which Method 2 is applied to aid the explanation, and as long as it does not violate the basic principle of the proposed method, a different sized cycle is used to determine the monitoring location of the common WUS, or a different form. Even when the common WUS monitoring location determination method of is used, the method proposed in Method 2 can be applied. As an example, the proposed method may be applied even when the FDM scheme is used or the UE group WUS resource is classified because the TDM+FDM scheme is used.
- the method proposed in Method 2 has an advantage in that it is possible to reduce a case in which the UE unnecessarily wakes up by transmission of WUS to wake up other UEs when the UE has a low paging probability. On the contrary, if the terminal has a high paging probability, there is an advantage in that it is possible to reduce the case where other terminals are unnecessarily wake up by WUS transmission of the corresponding terminal.

- the base station may establish a UE group WUS sequence for the UEs in the specific state and inform the UE of the UE group WUS sequence.
- the UE group WUS sequence information may be transmitted using higher layer signaling (eg, SIB or RRC signaling).

- the base station wants to transmit the common WUS for the purpose of updating system information (SI), it may transmit the WUS in consideration of the UE group WUS sequence applied to the terminals in the specific state.
- SI system information
- the UE group WUS sequence for a UE in a specific state supports (UE group) WUS, but may be configured to be distinguished from a (UE group) WUS sequence configured for UEs not in a specific state. This may be to prevent UEs in a specific state and UEs not in a specific state from being affected by each other's WUS transmission.
- the sequence of the common WUS may be set to be the same regardless of whether a specific state is applied.
- Method 2 if the method is applied to LTE NB-IoT and MTC, the sequence division is to set a separate scrambling initialization value for terminals that have received the configuration information of a specific state, and/ Alternatively, a method of designating a phase shift value may be considered.
- the method proposed in the present invention may include a method in which the monitoring start time of the UE group WUS is determined according to a specific state set in the terminal as in Method 4.
- the method described in Method 0 may be used for setting according to the specific state.
- the WUS defined in LTE NB-IoT and MTC has a structure in which the same subframe is repeatedly transmitted as much as the maximum duration of the WUS.
- the base station can transmit the WUS shorter than the maximum section in actual transmission by estimating the coverage of the terminal, and the repetitive transmission length of the WUS that can be used at this time is called the actual section of the WUS.
- the actual section of the WUS is shorter than the maximum section and is defined as a size that satisfies a value of 2 ⁇ n (2 to the power of n). In this case, even if the actual section of the WUS is shorter than the maximum section, the transmission of the WUS is always defined to start in the first subframe of the WUS resource.
- terminals located in good coverage are WUS for terminals located in relatively poor coverage (terminals that can succeed in detection only when the repetition of WUS is relatively long). Wake up more often may occur. Therefore, if a terminal with a low paging probability can wake up only by transmitting a short WUS, the terminal may wake up more frequently due to transmission of a WUS that is not allocated to itself. Conversely, when a high paging probability terminal requires transmission of a long WUS, a phenomenon in which terminals that can wake up even with a shorter WUS frequently wake up may occur.
- terminals that have acquired configuration information for a specific state determine a location for monitoring WUS differently from a location where other terminals monitor WUS.
- terminals that have acquired specific state information may be set to monitor only a partial section of the WUS resource monitored by other terminals.
- 17 schematically shows an example of the proposed method.
- terminals in a specific state (low paging probability or high paging probability) are configured to monitor WUS from the middle point of the WUS resource.
- terminals in a specific state do not affect transmission and reception of a WUS having an actual interval that is less than half the length of the maximum interval during WUS transmission for terminals that do not.
- a low paging probability terminal performs WUS monitoring corresponding to the shaded area in the figure
- the corresponding terminal is not affected when the WUS transmission length of terminals not in a specific state is less than half of the maximum interval.

- Method 5 Method for determining whether to apply the UE group WUS of the UE according to a specific state in which the UE is configured
- the method proposed in the present invention may include a method of determining whether to apply the UE group WUS according to a specific state set in the terminal, as in Method 5.
- the method described in Method 0 may be used for setting according to the specific state.
- the method proposed in Method 5 may be a method of performing an operation of a legacy WUS that does not distinguish between UE groups when the UE receives configuration information for a specific state. This may be for the purpose of reducing the effect of a UE in a specific state on other UEs expecting UE group WUS from the same base station. For example, when a specific terminal has a relatively high paging probability compared to other terminals, other terminals expecting the UE group WUS may wake up unnecessarily frequently due to WUS to be transmitted for the corresponding terminal.
- the base station transmits configuration information of what type of WUS the terminal that has obtained configuration information in a specific state should expect through higher layer signaling (e.g., SIB or RRC signaling).
- the type may be a legacy WUS or a UE group WUS.
- the UE group WUS one of the methods proposed in other methods proposed in the present invention may be selected.
- the method proposed in the present invention may include a method in which whether to apply WUS resource hopping is determined according to the configuration type of the WUS resource, as in Method 6-1.
- the base station may configure a plurality of WUS resources for the purpose of classifying WUS for multiple terminals.
- each WUS resource can be orthogonally classified on a time/frequency domain, and due to the difference in position in the time/frequency domain, there is a difference in WUS detection performance or power consumption efficiency. Can occur.
- a method of hopping WUS resources is currently being discussed in the Rel-16 NB-IoT and MTC standards.
- the present invention proposes a method of enabling WUS resource hopping without additional signaling overhead by using the necessity and characteristics of WUS resource hopping.
- Method 6-1 The specific method proposed in Method 6-1 may be one of the following options.
- Method 6-1-1 The method proposed in Method 6-1 is to perform WUS resource hopping when there are multiple UE group WUS resources corresponding to one PO (e.g., TDM and/or FDM techniques are used). It may include a method of enabling. This means that if the base station operates only one UE group WUS resource corresponding to one PO, explicit signaling to indicate WUS resource hopping is not required. Since this can be applied, it may be to obtain the advantage of not generating a separate signaling overhead.
- TDM and/or FDM techniques are used.
- WUS only when the UE group WUS resource corresponding to one PO is divided into multiple in the time domain (eg, when the TDM method is applied). It may include a method of enabling resource hopping.
- WUS resource hopping may be determined to be disabled. In this case, if a plurality of UE group WUS resources can be classified on the frequency domain, but in the same location on the time domain, WUS resource hopping is disabled.
- the proposed method has the advantage of enabling WUS resource hopping without increasing signaling overhead only when there is a benefit of WUS resource hopping.
- 18 schematically shows an example in which the method of option 6-1-2 is applied. In the example of the figure, only four types of WUS resource configuration methods are described, but the principles of the invention can be applied to other types of WUS resource configuration methods in which the TMD/FDM method can be used.
- the method proposed in the present invention may include a method of determining an order in which a UE (or a UE group) hopping WUS resources when WUS resource hopping is applied as in Method 6-2.
- the base station may configure a plurality of WUS resources for the purpose of classifying WUS for multiple terminals.
- each WUS resource may be orthogonally divided on a time/frequency resource, and a difference may occur in terms of performance of WUS detection or power consumption efficiency due to a position difference in the time/frequency domain.
- a method of hopping WUS resources is currently being discussed in the Rel-16 NB-IoT and MTC standards.
- the WUS resources may be determined to use a plurality of resources in a time or frequency domain.
- the terminal reduces the collision effect with transmission of another signal/channel in the downlink (DL) direction, or a diversity gain in the frequency domain. It can be advantageous to get The hopping gain in the frequency domain may be higher as different WUS resources have a larger interval in the frequency domain.
- all of the different WUS resources divided in the frequency domain such as the structure of the UE group WUS discussed in Rel-16 MTC, exist in the same narrowband, such a gain may be relatively insufficient.
- WUS resources are divided into a time domain, different WUS resources have different sized actual WUS-to-PO gaps. If the terminal detects WUS in the WUS resource it monitors, it must maintain the standby state in the actual WUS-to-PO gap period in order to monitor the paging PDCCH in the PO, which causes power consumption of the terminal. . Accordingly, a terminal monitoring WUS in a WUS resource having a relatively large WUS-to-PO gap may have a relatively low power consumption efficiency compared to a terminal that does not. Therefore, when WUS resource hopping in the time domain is applied, there is an advantage that all terminals can have an average power consumption efficiency.
- a method of determining that hopping in the time domain is repeated as often as possible is proposed.
- a method of performing WUS resource hopping on the basis of first performing time hopping and then performing frequency hopping (or time first frequency second) is Can be used.
- a structure in which a maximum of two resources (a total of four WUS resources) can be classified on a time domain and a frequency domain may be considered.
- the UE or UE group selects the WUS resource to be moved through WUS resource hopping if there is a WUS resource having a larger size actual WUS-to-PO gap on the same frequency resource based on the currently located WUS resource. If it does not exist, it may be determined to select a WUS resource having the smallest size actual WUS-to-PO gap existing on another frequency resource as a target to be moved through WUS resource hopping.
- the direction in which the UE (or UE group) hopping the WUS resource in the time domain in the above proposed method is an example, and the reverse direction (that is, the actual WUS having a smaller size on the same frequency resource based on the currently located WUS resource) is If a WUS resource with a to-PO gap exists, it can be selected as a target to be moved through WUS resource hopping. If it does not exist, it has the largest actual WUS-to-PO gap existing on other frequency resources. Even if the WUS resource is selected as a target to be moved through WUS resource hopping), the effect to be obtained from the proposal of the invention is the same.
- the proposed method can be expressed using a unique index assigned to each WUS resource.
- the UE or UE group
- the UE can be set to select the index of the WUS resource to be hopping in the order of ascending (or descending), and after first time hopping the index of the WUS resource to obtain the effect of the proposed invention It can be assigned in the order of performing frequency hopping (time first and frequency second). 19 schematically shows an example of the proposed method.
- the method proposed in Method 6-2 can also benefit from the fact that the order of WUS resource hopping can be determined without additional signaling overhead. For example, if the WUS resource hopping pattern according to the above-described principle is fixed by the standard, the UE may know and apply it in advance without additional signaling.
- the actual form of WUS resource hopping may differ depending on the number of configured WUS resources. However, if the WUS resource hopping pattern is separately designated according to the number of WUS resources and the configuration type, there is little gain to be obtained, and unnecessary complexity of the terminal may increase. To solve this problem, if the method proposed in Method 6-2 is used and the actual used WUS resources are less than the maximum number of configurable WUS resources, the order in which WUS resource hopping is applied is when all configurable WUS resources exist. It is determined based on, and if the WUS resource to be selected does not exist, it can be decided to skip the sequence.
- the index of the WUS resource is determined as in one of the expression forms of the invention described above, and the order of WUS resource hopping is determined in an ascending (or descending) order of the WUS resource index, the index of the WUS resource is always It is determined to be fixed, and the terminal determines the hopping order based on the index of the WU resource, but if the corresponding WUS resource does not exist, it may be determined to skip the order.
- 20 schematically shows an example of the proposed method.
- a pattern of WUS resource allocation that can be used is pre-determined, and a limited signaling bit is set. It may include a method of notifying the terminal by using. Characteristically, the proposed method can be used for the configuration of the UE group WUS resource in MTC.
- a maximum of four WUS resources may be supported for the purpose of UE grouping.
- the base station may be determined to be able to designate between at least one and at most four WUS resources in consideration of the network situation and the level of the UE group to be supported.
- the relative positions between the four WUS resources are predetermined, there are a total of 15 combinations of positions where the WUS resources are allocated. 21 schematically shows an example of 15 combinations. If you want to support all 15 combinations, the necessary signaling overhead is 4 bits.
