Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for adjusting a wake-up period of a terminal, a storage medium, and an electronic device. The method includes: broadcasting heartbeat information and remaining in a monitoring state for a first predetermined time; and adjusting a current first wake-up period of a terminal to a second wake-up period when the monitoring state ends according to information received by the terminal in the monitoring state.

First claim

I/We claim:

1 . A method for adjusting a wake-up period of a terminal, the method comprising:
broadcasting, by the terminal, heartbeat information and remaining in a monitoring state for a first predetermined time; and adjusting, by the terminal, a current first wake-up period of the terminal to a second wake-up period when the monitoring state ends according to information received by the terminal in the monitoring state.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the information received by the terminal in the monitoring state comprises at least one of:
gateway response information transmitted by a gateway in response to the heartbeat information broadcast by the terminal, and heartbeat information broadcast by other terminals.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein before the step of adjusting a current first wake-up period of the terminal to a second wake-up period when the monitoring state ends according to information received by the terminal in the monitoring state, the method further comprises:
detecting whether the terminal receives the gateway response information in the monitoring state; when the terminal receives the gateway response information, determining an adjustment parameter t to be -rand(0˜T 1 /2) if the terminal is an first state, and determining the adjustment parameter t to be 0 if the terminal is in an second state, wherein rand( ) is a random function for generating a random number, T 1 being a first time reference; when the terminal does not receive the gateway response information, determining the adjustment parameter t to be 0 if the terminal is in the first state, and determining the adjustment parameter t to be -rand(0˜T 2 /2) if the terminal is in the second state, T 2 being a second time reference; and determining the second wake-up period according to the first wake-up period and the adjustment parameter.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the step of adjusting a current first wake-up period of the terminal to a second wake-up period when the monitoring state ends according to information received by the terminal in the monitoring state comprises:
adjusting the first wake-up period to a sum of the first wake-up period and the adjustment parameter, wherein the sum of the first wake-up period and the adjustment parameter is the second wake-up period.

5 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the step of determining the second wake-up period according to the first wake-up period and the adjustment parameter comprises:
detecting whether the terminal in the monitoring state receives the heartbeat information broadcasted by the other terminals; counting a number M of the heartbeat information received by the terminal in the monitoring state from the other terminals in a case where the terminal receives the heartbeat information broadcasted by the other terminals; and determining the second wake-up period according to the first wake-up period, the adjustment parameter, and the number M of the heartbeat information.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the step of determining the second wake-up period according to the first wake-up period, the adjustment parameter, and the number M of the heartbeat information comprises:
detecting whether the number M of the heartbeat information of the other terminals is greater than a balance value N; determining the second wake-up period to be rand(0˜(Tc+t))+r in a case where M>N, wherein r is a random delay number, and Tc is a current time reference; detecting whether the current time reference Tc is greater than an initial wake-up period T 0 in a case where M≤N; determining an intermediate value T′=(M+1)Tc/N when Tc>T 0 , detecting whether T′ is greater than T 0 , determining the second wake-up period to be T 0 when T′≤T 0 , and determining the second wake-up period to be T′+t+r when T′>T 0 ; and determining the second wake-up period to be Tc+t+r when Tc≤T 0 , wherein Tc is the first time reference or the second time reference.

7 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein after the step of detecting whether the number M of the heartbeat information of the other terminals is greater than a balance value N, the method further comprises:
detecting whether a first adjustment number of the second wake-up period exceeds a first preset threshold in a case where M>N; determining the second wake-up period to be rand(0˜(Tc+t))+r in a case where the first adjustment number does not exceed the first preset threshold, and increasing the value of the first adjustment number by 1; and adjusting a value of Tc to Tnew in a case where the first adjustment number exceeds the first preset threshold, determining the second wake-up period to be Tnew+r and resetting the first adjustment number to 0, wherein Tnew=(M+1)Tc/N.

8 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein after the step of detecting whether the number M of the heartbeat information of the other terminals is greater than a balance value N, the method further comprises:
detecting whether a second adjustment number of the second wake-up period exceeds a second preset threshold in a case where M≤N and Tc>T 0 ; determining an intermediate value T′ to be (M+1)Tc/N in a case where the second adjustment number does not exceed the second preset threshold, determining the second wake-up period to be T 0 when T′≤T 0 , and determining the second wake-up period to be T′+t+r when T′>T 0 , and increasing the value of the second adjustment number by 1; and adjusting a value of Tc to Tnew in a case where the second adjustment number exceeds the second preset threshold, determining the second wake-up period to be Tnew+t+r, and resetting the second adjustment number to 0, wherein Tnew=(M+1)Tc/N.

9 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the step of determining the second wake-up period according to the first wake-up period, the adjustment parameter, and the number M of the heartbeat information comprises:
detecting the relationship between the number M of the heartbeat information of the other terminals, a balance value N, and an error tolerance L for the balance value N; determining the second wake-up period to be rand(0˜(Tc+t))+r in a case where M>N+L, wherein r is a random delay number and Tc is a current time reference; detecting whether the current time reference Tc is greater than an initial wake-up period T 0 in a case where M≤N−L; determining an intermediate value T′=(M+1)Tc/N when Tc>T 0 , determining the second wake-up period to be T 0 when T′≤T 0 , and determining the second wake-up period to be T′+t+r when T′>T 0 ; and determining the second wake-up period to be Tc+t+r when Tc≤T 0 , wherein Tc is the first time reference or the second time reference, resetting the first adjustment number and the second adjustment number to 0 and determining the second wake-up period to be Tc+t+r in a case where N−L<M≤N+L.

10 . An apparatus for adjusting a wake-up period of a terminal, the apparatus comprising:
a radio frequency circuit configured to broadcast heartbeat information and remain in a monitoring state for a first predetermined time; and a processor communicatively coupled to the radio frequency circuit and configured to adjust a current first wake-up period of the terminal to a second wake-up period when the monitoring state ends according to information received by the radio frequency circuit in the monitoring state.
