In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions related to the embodiments of the present application are described below.

With the pursuit of speed, latency, high-speed mobility, energy efficiency and the diversity and complexity of the services in future life, the third generation partnership project (3) ^rd Generation Partnership Project,3 GPP) international standards organization began to develop 5G. The main application scenarios of 5G are: enhanced Mobile Ultra wide band (eMBB), low-Latency high-reliability communication (URLLC), and massive Machine-Type communication (mMTC).

On the one hand, the eMBB still targets users for multimedia content, services and data, and its demand is growing very rapidly. On the other hand, because the eMBB may be deployed in different scenarios, such as indoor, urban, rural, etc., and the difference between the capabilities and the requirements is relatively large, it cannot be said that it must be analyzed in detail in conjunction with a specific deployment scenario. Typical applications of URLLC include: industrial automation, electric power automation, remote medical operation (surgery), traffic safety, and the like. Typical characteristics of mtc include: high connection density, small data volume, insensitive time delay service, low cost of module, long service life and the like.

● RRC state

In order to reduce air interface signaling, quickly recover wireless connection, and quickly recover data service, 5G defines a new Radio Resource Control (RRC) state, that is, an RRC INACTIVE (RRC _ INACTIVE) state. This state is distinguished from the RRC IDLE (RRC IDLE) state and the RRC ACTIVE (RRC ACTIVE) state. Wherein,

1) RRC _ IDLE state (IDLE state for short): the mobility is cell selection and reselection based on terminal equipment, paging is initiated by a Core Network (CN), and a paging area is configured by the CN. The base station side has no terminal equipment context and has no RRC connection.

2) RRC _ CONNECTED state (CONNECTED state for short): the RRC connection exists, and the base station side and the terminal device side have a terminal device context. The network side knows that the location of the terminal device is at a particular cell level. Mobility is network side controlled mobility. Unicast data may be communicated between the terminal device and the base station.

3) RRC _ INACTIVE state (INACTIVE state for short): mobility is based on cell selection reselection of terminal equipment, connection between CN-NR exists, context of the terminal equipment exists on a certain base station, paging is triggered by RAN, a paging area based on the RAN is managed by the RAN, and the network side knows that the position of the terminal equipment is based on the paging area level of the RAN.

● NR-light device

NR light (NR-light) devices are introduced into NR, and the NR-light devices mainly have the following three application scenes:

1) Industrial Wireless Sensors (Industrial Wireless Sensors): compared to URLLC traffic, the traffic of industrial wireless sensors has relatively low requirements on latency and reliability. Meanwhile, the cost and the power consumption of the industrial wireless sensor are lower than those of the URLLC service and the eMBB service.

2) Video surveillance (Video surveillance): the method is mainly used in video monitoring scenes of smart cities, industrial plants and the like. The intelligent city collects and processes data so as to monitor and control urban resources more effectively and provide more effective service for urban residents.

3) Wearable devices (Wearables): including intelligent wrist-watch, ring, the healthy equipment of electron and some medical monitoring equipment etc.. One common feature of these devices is their small size.

● Measurement of idle and inactive states

The serving cell measurements of the terminal device in the idle state and the inactive state are continuously performed.

The measurement behavior of the neighboring cells of the terminal device in the idle state and the inactive state is constrained by the relevant parameters in the system broadcast message. For example:

for the starting of the same-frequency measurement, if the Srxlev of the serving cell is greater than SintraSearchP and the Square of the serving cell is greater than SintraSearchQ, the same-frequency neighbor measurement is not started, otherwise, the same-frequency neighbor measurement is started.

For pilot frequency measurement with the same priority or low priority, if Srxlev of the serving cell is SnonIntraSearchP and Squal of the serving cell is SnonIntraSearchQ, the pilot frequency measurement with the same priority or low priority is not started, otherwise, the pilot frequency measurement with the same priority or low priority is started.

For high priority inter-frequency measurements, measurements are always initiated.

In the above scheme, srxlev = Qrxlevmeas- (Qrxlevmin + qrxlevminioffset) -pcompensationnn. Wherein, qrxlevmeas is a Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) measurement value of the cell. Qrxlevmin is the lowest received level of the cell. Qrxlevminoffset is the lowest received level offset of the cell. Pcompensationn = MAX (PEMAX-PUMAX, 0), PEMAX being the uplink maximum transmit power of the terminal device, and PUMAX being the maximum rf output power of the terminal device.

In the above scheme, squal = Qqualmeas- (QqualMin + QqualMinOffset). Wherein Qqualmeas is Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) of the cell. QqualMin is the minimum signal reception quality of the cell. QqualMinOffset is the minimum signal reception quality offset value for a cell.

The frequency point priority information can be configured through system broadcast messages or through RRC dedicated signaling (such as RRC release messages), the frequency point priority information configured through the system broadcast messages can also be referred to as common frequency point priority information, and the frequency point priority information configured through the RRC dedicated signaling can also be referred to as dedicated frequency point priority information. If the base station configures the priority information of the special frequency point for the terminal equipment, the terminal equipment covers the priority information of the public frequency point configured in the broadcast message of the system with the priority information of the special frequency point.

● Measuring relaxation

The 5G system introduces an energy-saving technology, and defines two criteria, namely a non-cell-edge (not-cell-edge) criterion and a low-mobility (low-mobility) criterion, for RRM measurement of the terminal device. When both criteria are configured simultaneously, the network further indicates to the terminal device the relationship of whether the two criteria are "and" or ". The not-cell-edge criterion mainly defines an RSRP threshold, and when the RSRP measurement value of the serving cell is greater than the RSRP threshold, the terminal device may perform relaxed measurement on the neighboring cell (that is, perform measurement on the neighboring cell by using relaxed measurement parameters). The Low-mobility criterion defines an RSRP variation threshold (i.e., s-SearchDeltaP) and a time range (i.e., TSearchDeltaP), and when the RSRP measurement value of the serving cell varies little, it means that the terminal device has a small cell reselection requirement, so that the neighbor cell can be relaxed and measured, and the purpose of saving energy by the terminal device is achieved. Specifically, if s-SearchDeltaP and TSearchDeltaP are configured in the system broadcast message of a certain cell, it means that the cell supports the terminal device to perform relaxation measurement on the neighboring cell. When the RSRP measurement value of the serving cell meets the neighbor cell measurement relaxation condition within the TSearchDeltaP time range, the terminal device may perform relaxation measurement on the neighbor cell, where the neighbor cell measurement relaxation condition is: (SrxlevRef-Srxlev) < s-SearchDeltaP, where Srxlev is the current Srxlev measurement for the serving cell and SrxlevRef is the reference Srxlev value for the serving cell. Here, if the terminal device selects or reselects to a new cell, or if (Srxlev-srxlevrev ref) >0, or if the neighbor cell relaxation measurement condition is not satisfied within the TSearchDeltaP time range, the terminal device sets srxlevrevrevrev ref as the current Srxlev measurement value of the serving cell.

The above scheme only involves measurement relaxation of the neighbor cell, but there is no relevant scheme for measurement relaxation of the serving cell. On the other hand, since the measurement relaxation scheme of the neighbor cell is evaluated by the RSRP measurement value of the serving cell, the influence on the measurement relaxation evaluation of the neighbor cell needs to be considered after the measurement relaxation of the serving cell is introduced. Therefore, the following technical scheme of the embodiment of the application is provided.

Fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a method for measuring relaxation according to an embodiment of the present application, where as shown in fig. 2, the method for measuring relaxation includes the following steps:

step 201: the method comprises the steps that terminal equipment receives first configuration information or second configuration information sent by network equipment, wherein the first configuration information is used for determining one or two measurement relaxation criteria of a serving cell, and the second configuration information is used for determining two measurement relaxation criteria of an adjacent cell; or receiving first configuration information and second configuration information sent by a network device, wherein the first configuration information is used for determining one or two measurement relaxation criteria of a serving cell, and the second configuration information is used for determining one or two measurement relaxation criteria of a neighbor cell; the measurement relaxation criterion of the serving cell is used for the terminal device to determine the measurement state of the serving cell, and the measurement relaxation criterion of the neighbor cell is used for the terminal device to determine the measurement state of the neighbor cell.

In the embodiment of the application, the network device sends the first configuration information and/or the second configuration information to the terminal device, and accordingly, the terminal device receives the first configuration information and/or the second configuration information sent by the network device. Further, the network device may be a base station, such as a gbb.

In an optional manner, the first configuration information and/or the second configuration information are carried in a system broadcast message. Here, the System broadcast message may also be referred to as a System Information Block (SIB).

In the embodiment of the present application, there may be several implementation manners as follows:

the first method is as follows: the terminal equipment receives first configuration information and second configuration information sent by network equipment, wherein the first configuration information is used for determining one or two measurement relaxation criteria of a serving cell, and the second configuration information is used for determining one or two measurement relaxation criteria of a neighbor cell.

The second method comprises the following steps: the terminal equipment receives first configuration information sent by network equipment, wherein the first configuration information is used for determining one or two measurement relaxation criteria of a serving cell.

The third method comprises the following steps: and the terminal equipment receives second configuration information sent by the network equipment, wherein the second configuration information is used for determining two measurement relaxation criteria of the adjacent cell.

Specific implementations of the first configuration information and the second configuration information are described below.

● Scheme 1: the first configuration information is used to determine a first measurement relaxation criterion for a serving cell.

Here, the network device configures a set of measurement relaxation criteria of the serving cell for the terminal device, which is referred to as a first measurement relaxation criteria.

I) In an alternative, the first measurement relaxation criterion includes a first cell-center (cell-center) criterion and/or a first low-mobility criterion.

II) in another alternative, the first measurement relaxation criterion comprises a first cell-center criterion and/or first indication information for indicating a low-mobility criterion of a neighbor cell to use as the first low-mobility criterion of the serving cell.

In an alternative, the low-mobility criterion of the neighbor cell includes a third low-mobility criterion and a fourth low-mobility criterion, and the first indication information indicates that the third low-mobility criterion or the fourth low-mobility criterion is used as the first low-mobility criterion of the serving cell.

Here, the low-mobility criterion of the neighbor cell is determined based on the second configuration information.

In one example, the network device configures a set of measurement relaxation criteria for the neighbor cells for the terminal device, referred to as a third measurement relaxation criteria. Accordingly, the second configuration information is used to determine a third measurement relaxation criterion for the neighbor cell. Wherein the third measurement relaxation criterion at least includes a third low-mobility criterion, and optionally, may further include a first non-cell-edge (not-cell-edge) criterion. In this case, the first indication information is used to indicate that the third low-mobility criterion of the neighbor cell is used as the first low-mobility criterion of the serving cell.

In another example, the network device configures two sets of measurement relaxation criteria of neighboring cells for the terminal device, which are referred to as a third measurement relaxation criteria and a fourth measurement relaxation criteria, respectively. Accordingly, the second configuration information is used to determine a third measurement relaxation criterion and a fourth measurement relaxation criterion of the neighbor cell. Wherein the third measurement relaxation criterion at least comprises a third low-mobility criterion, optionally, a first not-cell-edge criterion. The fourth measurement relaxation criterion includes at least a fourth low-mobility criterion, and optionally, a second not-cell-edge criterion. In this case, the first indication information is used to indicate that the third low-mobility criterion or the fourth measurement relaxation criterion of the neighbor cell is used as the first low-mobility criterion of the serving cell.

III) in yet another alternative, the first measurement relaxation criterion comprises a first low-mobility criterion and/or first indication information indicating that a not-cell-edge criterion of a neighbor cell is used as a first cell-center criterion of a serving cell.

In an optional manner, the non-cell-edge criterion of the neighboring cell includes a first non-cell-edge criterion and a second non-cell-edge criterion, and the first indication information is used to indicate that the first non-cell-edge criterion or the second non-cell-edge criterion is used as the first cell-center criterion of the serving cell.

Here, the not-cell-edge criterion of the neighbor cell is determined based on the second configuration information.

It should be noted that, by means of the above mode I), mode II), or mode III), it may be achieved that the network device configures the first cell-center criterion and/or the first low-mobility criterion for the terminal device.

In this embodiment of the present application, if the first measurement relaxation criterion is satisfied, the terminal device enters a serving cell relaxation measurement state. And if the first measurement relaxation criterion is not met, the terminal equipment enters a normal measurement state of a serving cell.

It should be noted that, the entering of the terminal device into the serving cell relaxation measurement state means: and the terminal equipment measures the serving cell according to the relaxed measurement parameters. The terminal equipment enters the normal measurement state of the serving cell, which means that: and the terminal equipment measures the serving cell according to the normal measurement parameters. Here, the measurement parameter includes at least one of: detection time duration (Tdetect), measurement time duration (Tmeasure), evaluation time duration (Tevaluate). The relaxed measurement parameter is obtained by relaxing (i.e. increasing) the normal measurement parameter, for example by multiplying the normal measurement parameter by a Scaling Factor (Scaling Factor). It can be seen that the relaxed measurement parameters are larger than the normal measurement parameters.

In an alternative, the first measurement relaxation criterion in the above scheme is satisfied by:

the first cell-center criterion is satisfied; or,

the first low-mobility criterion is satisfied; or,

the first cell-center criterion and the first low-mobility criterion are both satisfied.

For example: in the case that the network device configures only the first cell-center criterion, the satisfaction of the first measurement relaxation criterion means that the first cell-center criterion is satisfied.

For example: in case the network device only configures the first low-mobility criterion, the first measurement relaxation criterion being fulfilled means that the first low-mobility criterion is fulfilled.

For example: when the network device configures the first cell-center criterion and the first low-mobility criterion at the same time, the first measurement relaxation criterion being satisfied means that the first cell-center criterion is satisfied, or the first low-mobility criterion is satisfied, or both the first cell-center criterion and the first low-mobility criterion are satisfied. Further, in an optional manner, the network device sends third indication information to the terminal device, and accordingly, the terminal device receives the third indication information sent by the network device, where the third indication information is used to indicate: in the case where the network device configures the first cell-center criterion and the first low-mobility criterion at the same time, the first measurement relaxation criterion satisfaction refers to whether both the first cell-center criterion and the first low-mobility criterion are satisfied or one of the first cell-center criterion and the first low-mobility criterion is satisfied.

In an embodiment of the present application, the first cell-center criterion includes a first RSRP threshold; the first cell-center criterion is satisfied, which means that: the RSRP measurement value of the serving cell is greater than the first RSRP threshold value. Here, the RSRP measurement value may also be replaced with Srxlev.

In an embodiment of the present application, the first low-mobility criterion includes a first RSRP variation threshold value and a first time range; the first low-mobility criterion is satisfied, and means that: the difference between the RSRP measurement value of the serving cell and the RSRP reference value of the serving cell is always less than the first RSRP variation threshold value within the first time range. Here, the first RSRP variation threshold value is referred to as s-SearchDeltaP, the first time range may be referred to as TSearchDeltaP, the RSRP measurement value may be replaced by Srxlev, and the RSRP reference value may be replaced by srxlevrevrevref.

● Scheme 2: the first configuration information is used for determining a first measurement relaxation criterion of the serving cell, and the first configuration information is also used for determining a second measurement relaxation criterion of the serving cell, wherein the first measurement relaxation criterion is applied to a normal measurement requirement when the terminal device is in a normal measurement state of the serving cell, and the second measurement relaxation criterion is applied to a relaxation measurement requirement when the terminal device is in a relaxed measurement state of the serving cell.

Here, the network device configures two sets of measurement relaxation criteria of the serving cell for the terminal device, which are referred to as a first measurement relaxation criterion and a second measurement relaxation criterion. The first and second measured relaxation criteria are described below.

A: first measurement relaxation criterion

a-I) in an alternative, the first measurement relaxation criterion comprises a first cell-center criterion and/or a first low-mobility criterion.

a-II) in another alternative, the first measurement relaxation criterion comprises a first cell-center criterion and/or first indication information for indicating a low-mobility criterion of a neighbor cell to use as the first low-mobility criterion of the serving cell.

In an alternative, the low-mobility criterion of the neighbor cell includes a third low-mobility criterion and a fourth low-mobility criterion, and the first indication information is used to indicate that the third low-mobility criterion or the fourth low-mobility criterion is used as the first low-mobility criterion of the serving cell.

In another example, the network device configures two sets of measurement relaxation criteria of neighboring cells for the terminal device, which are referred to as a third measurement relaxation criteria and a fourth measurement relaxation criteria, respectively. Accordingly, the second configuration information is used to determine a third measurement relaxation criterion and a fourth measurement relaxation criterion of the neighbor cell. Wherein the third measurement relaxation criterion at least comprises a third low-mobility criterion, and optionally, may further comprise a first not-cell-edge criterion. The fourth measurement relaxation criterion at least comprises a fourth low-mobility criterion, and optionally, a second not-cell-edge criterion. In this case, the first indication information is used to indicate that the third low-mobility criterion or the fourth measurement relaxation criterion of the neighbor cell is used as the first low-mobility criterion of the serving cell.

a-III) in yet another alternative, the first measurement relaxation criterion includes a first low-mobility criterion and/or first indication information indicating that a not-cell-edge criterion of a neighbor cell is used as a first cell-center criterion of a serving cell.

It should be noted that, by means of the above mode a-I), mode a-II), or mode a-III), it can be achieved that the network device configures the first cell-center criterion and/or the first low-mobility criterion for the terminal device.

B: second measurement relaxation criterion

b-I) in an alternative, the second measurement relaxation criterion comprises a second cell-center criterion and/or a second low-mobility criterion.

b-II) in another alternative, the second measurement relaxation criterion comprises a second cell-center criterion and/or second indication information for indicating a low-mobility criterion of a neighbor cell for use as the second low-mobility criterion of the serving cell.

In an alternative, the low-mobility criterion of the neighbor cell includes a third low-mobility criterion and a fourth low-mobility criterion, and the second indication information indicates that the third low-mobility criterion or the fourth low-mobility criterion is used as the second low-mobility criterion of the serving cell.

In one example, the network device configures a set of measurement relaxation criteria for the terminal device for the neighbor cells, referred to as a third measurement relaxation criteria. Accordingly, the second configuration information is used to determine a third measurement relaxation criterion for the neighbor cell. Wherein the third measurement relaxation criterion at least comprises a third low-mobility criterion, optionally, a first not-cell-edge criterion. In this case, the second indication information is used to indicate that the third low-mobility criterion of the neighbor cell is used as the second low-mobility criterion of the serving cell.

In another example, the network device configures two sets of measurement relaxation criteria of neighboring cells for the terminal device, which are referred to as a third measurement relaxation criteria and a fourth measurement relaxation criteria, respectively. Accordingly, the second configuration information is used to determine a third measurement relaxation criterion and a fourth measurement relaxation criterion of the neighbor cell. Wherein the third measurement relaxation criterion at least comprises a third low-mobility criterion, optionally, a first not-cell-edge criterion.

The terminal equipment enters the normal measurement state of the adjacent cell, namely: and the terminal equipment measures the adjacent cell according to the normal measurement parameters. Wherein the relaxed measurement parameter is greater than the normal measurement parameter.

It should be noted that whether the terminal device is in the serving cell relaxed measurement state or in the serving cell normal measurement state may be determined by referring to the method of scheme 1 or scheme 2.

Here, the RSRP measurement value may also be replaced with Srxlev.

The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are illustrated below with reference to specific application examples.

Application example 1

The network device configures the terminal device with a measurement relaxation criterion for the serving cell (i.e. the first measurement relaxation criterion), and a measurement relaxation criterion for the neighbor cells. The measurement relaxation criteria of the serving cell include a cell-center criterion and/or a low-mobility criterion, wherein the low-mobility criterion may refer to the low-mobility criterion of the neighbor cell or may be configured separately. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:

1) The network device configures the measurement relaxation criteria of the neighbor cell (i.e., the third measurement relaxation criteria) and the measurement relaxation criteria of the serving cell through a system broadcast message (e.g., SIB). The measurement relaxation criteria of the neighbor cell may include a not-cell-edge criterion and/or a low-mobility criterion.

2) The measurement relaxation criteria of the serving cell are used to determine the cell-center criteria of the serving cell and/or the low-mobility criteria of the serving cell. Wherein,

a. the cell-center criterion of the serving cell is configured in the measurement relaxation criterion of the serving cell, the cell-center criterion of the serving cell includes an RSRP threshold, if the RSRP measurement value of the serving cell is higher than the RSRP threshold, the terminal device may perform a relaxation measurement of the serving cell (i.e., the terminal device enters a serving cell relaxation measurement state), and if the RSRP measurement value of the serving cell is lower than the RSRP threshold, the terminal device may perform a normal measurement of the serving cell (i.e., the terminal device enters a serving cell normal measurement state), referring to fig. 3.

b. In an alternative, the low-mobility criterion of the serving cell may be configured separately, that is, the low-mobility criterion of the serving cell is configured in the measurement relaxation criterion of the serving cell, where the low-mobility criterion of the serving cell is configured independently from the low-mobility criterion of the neighbor cell, and thus may be different or the same.

In another alternative, the low-mobility criterion of the serving cell may refer to the low-mobility criterion of the neighbor cell, i.e., the low-mobility criterion of the serving cell is the same as the low-mobility criterion of the neighbor cell. In particular, the amount of the solvent to be used,

i. carrying indication information in the measurement relaxation criterion of the serving cell, wherein the indication information is used for indicating the low-mobility criterion of the serving cell to refer to the low-mobility criterion of the neighbor cell or indicating the low-mobility criterion of the neighbor cell to be used as the low-mobility criterion of the serving cell; or,

adding indication information in the low-mobility criterion of the neighbor cell for indicating that the low-mobility criterion can be used as the low-mobility criterion of the serving cell.

Referring to fig. 3, the low-mobility criterion of the serving cell includes s-SearchDeltaP and TSearchDeltaP, if the difference between the RSRP measurement value and the RSRP reference value of the serving cell is less than s-SearchDeltaP within the time range of TSearchDeltaP, the terminal device may perform relaxed measurement of the serving cell (i.e., the terminal device enters a serving cell relaxed measurement state), otherwise, the terminal device may perform normal measurement of the serving cell (i.e., the terminal device enters a serving cell normal measurement state).

c. In case that the cell-center criterion of the serving cell and the low-mobility criterion of the serving cell (hereinafter, referred to as two criteria) are configured simultaneously, the network device further indicates to the terminal device:

i. in case both criteria are met simultaneously, the terminal device may perform a relaxation measurement of the serving cell (i.e. the terminal device enters a serving cell relaxation measurement state);

the terminal device may perform a relaxation measurement of the serving cell (i.e. the terminal device enters a serving cell relaxation measurement state) in case either of the two criteria is met.

3) The terminal device evaluates a measurement relaxation criterion of the serving cell according to the configuration of the network device, and performs a relaxation measurement of the serving cell if the measurement relaxation criterion of the serving cell is satisfied.

According to the technical scheme, the measurement relaxation criterion of the serving cell and the measurement relaxation criterion of the adjacent cell are configured independently, so that the network can control the measurement behavior of the terminal equipment more accurately. Meanwhile, considering a signaling optimization scheme, if the serving cell and the neighboring cell share the same low-mobility criterion, only one set of signaling needs to be configured, so that the signaling configuration overhead is saved.

Application example two

The network device configures two sets of measurement relaxation criteria (namely a first measurement relaxation criterion and a second measurement relaxation criterion) for the terminal device, and the two sets of measurement relaxation criteria are respectively applied to a state that the terminal device is in a normal measurement state of a serving cell and a state that the terminal device is in a relaxed measurement state of the serving cell. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:

1) The network configures a measurement relaxation criterion of the serving cell through a system broadcast message (such as SIB), and configures two sets of measurement relaxation criteria respectively for a normal measurement state of the serving cell and a relaxation measurement state of the serving cell.

a. The first measurement relaxation criterion of the serving cell is applied to the normal measurement state of the serving cell, and taking the example that the first measurement relaxation criterion includes the low-mobility-1 criterion, the low-mobility-1 criterion includes TSearchDeltaP1 and s-SearchDeltaP1, refer to fig. 4.

b. The second measurement relaxation criterion of the serving cell is applied to the serving cell relaxation measurement state, and taking the example that the second measurement relaxation criterion includes the low-mobility-2 criterion, the low-mobility-2 criterion includes TSearchDeltaP2 and s-SearchDeltaP2, refer to fig. 4.

2) The first measurement relaxation criterion comprises a cell-center-1 criterion and/or a low-mobility-1 criterion, and is used by the terminal equipment to evaluate whether to keep in a serving cell normal measurement state or leave the serving cell normal measurement state to enter the serving cell relaxation measurement state in the case that the terminal equipment is in the serving cell normal measurement state.

Here, the measurement threshold values in the cell-center-1 criterion and the low-mobility-1 criterion are both RSRP measurement values of the serving cell obtained by using a serving cell normal measurement requirement (requirement) for the terminal device. Here, the terminal device uses the serving cell normal measurement requirement, which may also be understood as a terminal device using the serving cell normal measurement parameter.

3) The second measurement relaxation criterion comprises a cell-center-2 criterion and/or a low-mobility-2 criterion, and is used by the terminal equipment to evaluate whether to keep in a serving cell relaxation measurement state or leave the serving cell relaxation measurement state to enter a serving cell normal measurement state in the case that the terminal equipment is in the serving cell relaxation measurement state.

Here, the measurement threshold values in the cell-center-2 criterion and the low-mobility-2 criterion are both RSRP measurement values of the serving cell obtained by using the serving cell relaxation measurement requirement for the terminal device. Here, the terminal device uses the serving cell relaxation measurement requirement, which may also be understood as the terminal device using the serving cell relaxation measurement parameter.

According to the technical scheme, the measurement precision is different due to the fact that the measurement requirements (namely the measurement parameters) used in the normal measurement state of the serving cell and the relaxed measurement state of the serving cell are different, and the measurement state can be controlled more accurately by using different measurement threshold values according to different measurement precisions. For example, for relaxation measurement, the measurement parameter is larger, and the TSearchDeltaP value in the low-mobility criterion may be configured longer. In addition, for a lower measurement accuracy of relaxation measurements, the s-SearchDeltaP value may be turned down a little if the network does not want the terminal device to make too many relaxation measurements.

Application example three

The network device configures two sets of measurement relaxation criteria (namely a third measurement relaxation criterion and a fourth measurement relaxation criterion) for the terminal device, and the two sets of measurement relaxation criteria are respectively applied to a normal measurement state of the terminal device in the serving cell and a relaxed measurement state of the terminal device in the serving cell. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:

1) The network configures measurement relaxation criteria of a serving cell and neighbor cells through system broadcast messages (such as SIB), and configures two sets of measurement relaxation criteria of neighbor cells respectively according to a normal measurement state of the serving cell and a relaxed measurement state of the serving cell.

a. The third measurement relaxation criterion of the neighbor cell is applied to the normal measurement state of the serving cell, and taking the case that the third measurement relaxation criterion includes the low-mobility-3 criterion, the low-mobility-3 criterion includes TSearchDeltaP3 and s-SearchDeltaP3, refer to fig. 5.

b. The fourth measurement relaxation criterion of the neighbor cell is applied to the serving cell relaxation measurement state, and taking the example that the fourth measurement relaxation criterion includes the low-mobility-4 criterion, the low-mobility-4 criterion includes TSearchDeltaP4 and s-SearchDeltaP4, refer to fig. 5.

2) And the third measurement relaxation criterion comprises a not-cell-edge-3 criterion and/or a low-mobility-3 criterion, and under the condition that the terminal equipment is in a normal measurement state of the serving cell, the terminal equipment evaluates whether the measurement of the adjacent cell is in a normal state or a relaxed state by using the third measurement relaxation criterion.

3) The fourth measurement relaxation criterion, which is used by the terminal device to evaluate whether the neighbor cell measurements are in a normal state or a relaxed state, comprises a note-cell-center-4 criterion and/or a low-mobility-4 criterion, in case the terminal device is in a serving cell relaxation measurement state.

In the above technical solution, since the measurement requirement (i.e. measurement parameter) used in the normal measurement state of the serving cell and the measurement release state of the serving cell are different, the measurement accuracy thereof is different, and in order to better evaluate the measurement release criteria of the neighboring cell, the difference of the measurement requirement and the difference of the measurement accuracy need to be considered. For example, when the terminal device is in the serving cell relaxation measurement state, its measurement parameter is larger, then the TSearchDeltaP value in the low-mobility criterion of the neighboring cell may be configured to be longer. In addition, for a lower measurement accuracy of the relaxation measurement, if the network does not want the terminal device to perform too many relaxation measurements, the s-SearchDeltaP value in the low-mobility criterion of the neighbor cell may be turned down a little.
