Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail and completely with reference to the following specific embodiments of the present application and the accompanying drawings. It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The technical scheme of the application can be applied to various communication systems, such as: global System for Mobile communications (GSM), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Long Term Evolution (LTE), Long Term Evolution/enhanced Long Term Evolution (LTE-a), Long Term Evolution (nr new Radio), and so on.

A User Equipment (UE), which may also be referred to as a Mobile Terminal (Mobile Terminal), a Mobile User Equipment (UE), and the like, may communicate with one or more core networks via a Radio Access Network (RAN, Radio Access Network, for example), and the User Equipment may be a Mobile Terminal, such as a Mobile phone (or referred to as a "cellular" phone) and a computer having a Mobile Terminal, such as a portable, pocket, handheld, computer-included, or vehicle-mounted Mobile device, and may exchange languages and/or data with the Radio Access Network.

The Base Station may be a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) in GSM or CDMA, a Base Station (NodeB) in WCDMA, an evolved Node B (eNB or e-NodeB) in LTE, and a 5G Base Station (gNB), and the present application is not limited thereto, but for convenience of description, the following embodiments take the gNB as an example for description.

The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be understood that camp on (camp) of the user equipment may include access in RRC connected state, and attachment in RRC IDLE state (IDLE) or Inactive state (Inactive).

It should be understood that, for a user equipment in an RRC connected state (connected), the network configures the UE to perform signal measurement on multiple target frequency points through dedicated signaling. And when the measurement reporting condition is met, for example, the signal quality of the serving cell is lower than that of the alternative cell for a certain time, the UE reports the measurement result. The network may determine whether to initiate a handover procedure according to the measurement report result.

It should be understood that, for the ue in the RRC IDLE state (IDLE) or the Inactive state (Inactive), the network may notify the ue of the frequency point to be measured and the frequency point priority through a broadcast message. The frequency points to be measured comprise the frequency points of the network system and the frequency points of other network systems. When the signal quality of the cell currently camped (camp) meets a certain condition, for example, is lower than a preset threshold, the network measures from high priority to low priority according to the priority of the frequency point, and performs reselection evaluation according to the measurement result. And when the target neighbor cell meets the reselection condition, the UE reselects the corresponding target neighbor cell.

In order to avoid that the UE repeatedly measures the signal quality of the network of the second standard when the first standard is in a connected state and the UE repeatedly measures the signal quality of the network of the second standard when the first standard is in an idle state, the present application provides a dual-camping user equipment, and a capability reporting method, a measuring method, and a camping method thereof, so as to solve the above problems.

It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the first standard and the second standard may be one of GERAN, UTRAN, LTE, NR, CDMA2000, but the first standard and the second standard are different.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a capability reporting method of a dual-camping ue according to an embodiment of the present application. The method of fig. 1 is performed by a user equipment. The method can comprise the following steps:

s101, user equipment reports first indication information on a first system network, wherein the first indication information is related to the capability information of the user equipment, and the first indication information does not carry the capability related information of the user equipment supporting a second system;

It should be understood that the first indication information is related to the capability information of the user equipment, and may be a mapping relation with the capability information of the user equipment, or implicitly indicate the capability information of the user equipment, or include the capability information of the user equipment itself, and so on.

In the embodiment of the application, the user equipment can avoid receiving the working frequency point information corresponding to the second system on the first system network or measuring the working frequency point corresponding to the second system by reporting the relevant information which does not carry the capability of the user equipment for supporting the second system on the first system network, so that the repeated measurement of the working frequency point of the second system network in the first system network is avoided, the measurement efficiency of a dual-resident user is improved, and the energy consumption is reduced.

Of course, it should be understood that, before step S101, the ue may generate the first indication information after preparing to report the capability information.

Optionally, as an embodiment, the first indication information is capability information of the user equipment, and includes capability information of the first system and does not include capability information of the second system.

That is, when the network of the first system reports the first indication information, the ue selectively reports the capability information of the first system but does not report the capability information of the second system.

For example, it is assumed that the ue supports two systems, and LTE and UTRA are not assumed. After the ue passes through the LTE standard and the UTRA standard dual camp to the LTE network and the UTRA network, the ue may select the capability information of the LTE standard without reporting the capability information of the UTRA standard when the ue feeds back the standard capability through the LTE network.

Optionally, as another embodiment, the method further includes: after the user equipment is connected to a first system network and before the user equipment resides in a second system network, the user equipment reports first capability information, wherein the first capability information comprises the capability information of the first system and the capability information of the second system;

the first indication information includes an indication field indicating that the ue no longer has the second system capability, or the first indication information includes an indication field indicating that the ue only has the first system capability. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above-mentioned indication field may be one bit, or several bits, or a combination of several bits or bytes.

Specifically, in an application scenario that the ue has reported two system capabilities and changes from a state that the ue has connected to the first system network to a state that the ue has connected to the first system network and resides in the second system network, whether the reported two system capabilities are available may be indicated by an indication field. For example, the first indication information may be an indication field including two indication bits, where the first indication bit indicates whether the first system is capable of being provided with the first standard, and the second indication bit indicates whether the second system is capable of being provided with the second standard, and the ue may send two indication bits "10" in the first system network, indicating that the ue still has the first system capability but does not have the second system capability.

Of course, it should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, in an application scenario where the ue has reported the capability of two systems and changes from the state where the ue has connected to the first-system network to the state where the ue has connected to the first-system network and resides in the second-system network, the ue may also report the capability information of the first system only in the first-system network. For example, the ue reports the LTE capability information in the LTE network, and so on.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 1, the method may further include step S102:

and the user equipment reports second indication information on the network of the second system, wherein the second indication information does not carry the capability information of the user equipment supporting the first system.

Similarly, the second indication information may also be capability information of the user equipment, and may include the capability information of the second system and not include the capability information of the first system. For example, if the ue accesses the LTE network and accesses the UTRA network, the ue may report the capability information of the LTE network and not report the capability information of the UTRA network in the LTE network, and may also report the capability information of the UTRA network and not report the capability information of the LTE network in the UTRA network.

Or, the second indication information includes an indication field indicating that the ue no longer has the capability of the first system, or the second indication information includes an indication field indicating that the ue only has the capability of the second system.

Fig. 2 is a measurement method of a dual-camping user equipment according to an embodiment of the present application. The method of fig. 2 is performed by a user equipment. The method can comprise the following steps:

s201, the user equipment abandons receiving the broadcast message containing the neighbor cell information reselected by the different system in the first system network, or abandons measuring the frequency point in the neighbor cell information after receiving the broadcast message containing the neighbor cell information.

The user equipment has the capability of a first system and the capability of a second system, and resides in a first system network by using the capability of the first system and resides in a second system network by using the capability of the second system.

In the embodiment of the application, by selecting to abandon receiving the broadcast message containing the neighbor cell information reselected by the different system, or abandoning the measurement operation of the frequency point in the neighbor cell information after receiving the broadcast message containing the neighbor cell information, the repeated measurement of the working frequency point of the other system network of the dual-resident user equipment in the one system network can be avoided, the measurement efficiency of the user equipment is improved, and the energy consumption is reduced.

For example, assuming that the first standard is LTE, the second standard is UTRA, the set of working frequency points of the user equipment in the LTE network is set 1, and the set of working frequency points of the UTRA is set 2, and assuming that the network side equipment can broadcast adjacent cell information of the UTRA on SIB6, the adjacent cell information includes frequency point information. It may be chosen for the user equipment not to receive SIB6 or to forgo signal measurement on the frequency indicated by the frequency bin information in SIB6 after receiving SIB 6.

Optionally, as an embodiment, after the ue moves out of the coverage area of the second-system network, if the ue abandons to receive the broadcast message of the neighboring cell information in the first-system network, the method further includes:

the user equipment receives working frequency point information corresponding to a second standard through a first standard network;

and the user equipment performs signal measurement on the working frequency point corresponding to the second standard through the network of the second standard so as to perform at least one of cell selection and cell reselection of the network of the second standard.

In the embodiment of the application, after the user equipment moves out of the coverage area of the second standard network, the working frequency point information corresponding to the second standard is received through the first standard network, and then the working frequency point corresponding to the second standard is subjected to signal measurement, so that the second standard network can perform at least one of cell selection and cell reselection, and therefore the dual-resident user equipment can be ensured to recover the second standard network after moving out of the coverage area of the second standard network, and the robustness of a communication system is improved.

For example, it is still assumed that the first standard is LTE, the second standard is UTRA, the set of working frequency points of the user equipment in the LTE network is set 1, and the set of working frequency points of the UTRA is set 2, and it is assumed that the network side equipment can broadcast neighboring cell information of the inter-system cell on SIB6, where the neighboring cell information includes frequency point information. Assuming that the ue selects not to receive the SIB6 and moves out of the coverage area of the UTRA network, the ue may receive the operating frequency point information corresponding to the UTRA network, and then perform signal measurement, so that the second-standard network performs at least one of cell selection and cell reselection. Specifically, the ue receives the operating frequency point information corresponding to the UTRA network, may receive a new broadcast message including the operating frequency point information corresponding to the UTRA network, for example, SIB6-SIB8, or adopt another method, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, as an embodiment, after the ue moves out of the coverage area of the second-standard network, if the ue receives a broadcast message including the neighbor cell information in the first-standard network and abandons signal measurement on a working frequency point in the neighbor cell information, the method further includes:

In the embodiment of the application, after the user equipment moves out of the coverage area of the second standard network, the working frequency point corresponding to the second standard network is subjected to signal measurement, so that the second standard network can perform at least one of cell selection and cell reselection, and therefore the dual-resident user equipment can be ensured to recover the second standard network after moving out of the coverage area of the second standard network, and the robustness of a communication system is improved.

For example, it is still assumed that the first standard is LTE, the second standard is UTRA, the set of working frequency points of the user equipment in the LTE network is set 1, and the set of working frequency points of the UTRA is set 2, and it is assumed that the network side equipment can broadcast neighboring cell information of the inter-system cell on SIB6, where the neighboring cell information includes frequency point information. Assuming that the user equipment selects to receive the SIB6 but does not perform measurement and the user equipment moves out of the coverage area of the UTRA network, the user equipment may perform signal measurement on the frequency point indicated by the frequency point information carried in the SIB6, so that the network of the second standard performs at least one of cell selection and cell reselection.

Optionally, as an embodiment, after the ue moves out of the coverage area of the network of the second system, the method further includes:

the user equipment acquires working frequency point information corresponding to a second system through a cell initial search process;

In the embodiment of the application, after the user equipment moves out of the coverage area of the second standard network, the working frequency point information corresponding to the second standard is acquired through the cell initial search process, and then the working frequency point corresponding to the second standard is subjected to signal measurement, so that the second standard network performs at least one of cell selection and cell reselection, and therefore it can be ensured that the dual-resident user equipment can recover the second standard network after moving out of the coverage area of the second standard network, and the robustness of the communication system is improved.

For example, assuming that the ue selects not to receive SIB6 or receives SIB6 but does not perform measurement, and the ue moves out of the coverage area of the UTRA network, the ue may obtain information of a working frequency point corresponding to the UTRA network through a cell initial search process, and then perform signal measurement on the working frequency point corresponding to the UTRA network, so that the second-standard network performs at least one of cell selection and cell reselection.

Optionally, after the ue camps on the first-system network and before the ue camps on the second-system network, the method further includes:

the user equipment receives a broadcast message containing the neighbor cell information on a first standard network;

Of course, it should be understood that, in this embodiment of the present application, after performing cell selection in the network of the second standard, cell reselection may also be performed, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In the embodiment of the application, after residing in the first standard network, according to the broadcast message of the neighbor cell information related to the inter-system cell, the user equipment can perform cell initial search according to the frequency point information in the neighbor cell information to perform cell selection, so that the time required for entering a residing state is shortened, and the residing efficiency is improved.

For example, in the foregoing embodiment, the ue may further perform initial cell search, cell selection, and cell reselection of UTRA in a working frequency point set (set 2) corresponding to the UTRA network, and then select a cell to initiate a camping process according to results of the initial cell search and the cell selection of the UTRA, and camp in the cell.

Further, the method further comprises:

the user equipment executes cell initial search and cell selection of a first standard network in a working frequency point set except a working frequency point set corresponding to a second standard;

and the user equipment selects a cell to reside according to the results of the initial cell search and the cell selection of the first standard network.

Similarly, it should be understood that, in this embodiment of the present application, after performing cell selection in the network of the first standard, cell reselection may also be performed, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

For example, in the foregoing embodiment, the ue may further perform at least one of cell selection and cell reselection of LTE in an operating frequency point set (set 1) other than the operating frequency point set (set 2) corresponding to the UTRA network, and then select a cell to camp on according to a result of the at least one of cell selection and cell reselection of LTE.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a dual camping method of a user equipment according to an embodiment of the present application. The method of fig. 3 is performed by a user equipment. The method can comprise the following steps:

s301, the user equipment receives a broadcast message containing neighbor cell information reselected by the different system in the first system network.

The user equipment has the capability of a first system and the capability of a second system, resides in a first system network by using the capability of the first system, and does not reside in the second system network.

S302, the user equipment executes the cell initial search of the second system network in the working frequency point set corresponding to the second system according to the adjacent cell information so as to select the cell.

And S303, the user equipment initiates a residence process in a cell of the second standard network according to the results of the initial cell search and the cell selection of the second standard network, and resides in the cell.

In the embodiment of the application, after residing in the first standard network, according to the broadcast message of the neighbor cell information related to the inter-system cell, the user equipment can perform cell initial search according to the frequency point information in the neighbor cell information so as to perform cell selection, shorten the time required for entering a residing state, and improve the residing efficiency.

Further, the method further comprises:

the user equipment executes the cell selection of the network of the first standard in the working frequency point sets except the working frequency point set corresponding to the second standard;

the user equipment selects a cell to reside according to the execution result of the cell selection of the first standard network.
