Description

Measurement recording, reporting, configuring and acquiring methods, terminal and network equipment

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method, a terminal, and a network device for measuring, recording, reporting, configuring, and acquiring.

Background

According to the existing communication flow, User Equipment (UE, also called a terminal) reports a non-connected state measurement result only when a condition is met; and only after reporting the measurement result, deleting the recorded measurement result.

This approach causes the following problems:

1. after the measurement result of the non-connection state is finished, the UE stores the measurement result, but the UE does not enter the connection state within a period of time, so the UE cannot report/delete the measurement result; after a period of time, the measurement results stored by the UE are outdated;

2. when the UE enters a connected state, the measurement result stored by the UE is out of date because the network does not support or the network does not require the UE to report the measurement result;

3. when the UE subsequently enters the connected state again, the cached outdated measurement result is reported, which may cause the network to perform Carrier Aggregation (CA) configuration using the outdated measurement result, and if the measurement result shows that the signal quality of the cell a is good, but after the cell a is configured as the serving cell of the UE, it is found that the cell a is actually unavailable, which may cause a configuration error.

Therefore, the existing measurement reporting mode cannot reflect accurate network state in time and cannot ensure the reliability of network communication.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

In making the description of the embodiments of the present invention, some concepts used in the following description will first be explained.

One, conventional carrier aggregation

Carrier Aggregation (CA) refers to a terminal simultaneously using spectrum resources of multiple serving cells for data transmission, so as to improve the throughput of the terminal in data transmission and reception.

The serving cell of the terminal is configured by the network, and usually, the network selects a cell whose signal quality meets a specific condition based on a measurement report result of the terminal to an adjacent cell, and configures the cell as the serving cell of the terminal. The terminal configures measurement parameters (such as a frequency point to be measured, a measurement quantity (Reference Signal Received Power, RSRP), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), and the like) and reporting configuration (reporting trigger conditions, measurement quantities to be reported, and the like) of the neighboring cells by the network. The configuration and reporting of the measurements need to be performed after security activation. The specific implementation process is shown in fig. 1.

Secondly, carrier aggregation after non-connection state measurement is applied

Based on the network indication, the non-connection state terminal measures; and after entering the connection state, if the network side supports receiving the idle state measurement result (indicating the terminal through the system information), reporting that the measurement result is available immediately. And when the network requires the terminal to report the measurement result, reporting the measurement result.

With this implementation, the time delay from when the UE enters the connected state to when the UE can start to utilize the secondary cell transmission is reduced, and specifically, the implementation flow is as shown in fig. 2.

Compared with the traditional carrier aggregation scheme, the time for the UE to measure is shortened after the non-connection state measurement is applied.

However, both of the above two implementation manners have a problem that an accurate network state cannot be reflected in time, so as shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a measurement recording method, which is applied to a terminal, and includes:

301, performing non-connection state measurement in a non-connection state, and recording a measurement result in the non-connection state;

note that the unconnected state includes: idle (Idle) and/or Inactive (Inactive); in general, after performing the non-connection state measurement, the terminal stores the measurement result in a buffer.

Step 302, if the condition for deleting the measurement result is met, deleting the measurement result;

it should be noted that the measurement result deletion condition includes at least one of the following information:

a1, overtime timer;

a2, the terminal receives the message of releasing the Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection;

it should be noted that the message for releasing the RRC connection includes: RRC connection release message in LTE system, or RRC release message in NR system, or signaling message for other systems to accomplish similar functions.

A3, the measurement result is invalid.

In the following, under the three cases, the specific implementation of the embodiment of the present invention is further described as follows.

1. The measurement result deletion condition includes: timer timeout

In this case, before the recording the measurement result in the non-connected state, an embodiment of the present invention further includes:

acquiring configuration information of a timer;

wherein the configuration information comprises: the timing duration.

In this case, the start of the timer may be performed in several ways as follows.

In the first mode, after the configuration information of the timer is acquired, the timer is started; and executing the non-connection state measurement, and storing the measurement result in a cache.

In this case, the terminal starts the timer after receiving the configuration information of the timer, and in general, the configuration information of the timer is obtained from a message for releasing the RRC connection sent by the network device.

And secondly, starting the timer when the terminal starts to execute the non-connection state measurement.

And in a third mode, the terminal starts the timer when the measurement in the non-connection state is finished.

It should be noted that, in the case of the second and third modes, the terminal starts the timer when performing the non-connected state measurement or when the non-connected state measurement is finished, and the terminal may obtain the configuration information of the timer in the following manner regardless of the obtaining time of the configuration information of the timer:

the method B1 is used for acquiring the configuration information of the timer appointed by the protocol;

in the mode B2, the configuration information of the timer is acquired from the first message sent by the network device;

it should be noted that the first message includes: at least one of a release RRC connection message, a system broadcast message, and a RRC connection reconfiguration message.

In this case, since the terminal does not directly start the timer when acquiring the configuration information of the timer, the terminal needs to store the configuration information of the timer after acquiring the configuration information of the timer in order to use the configuration information.

Further, it should be noted that the measurement result deletion condition includes: under the condition that the timer is overtime, when the terminal receives a measurement result reporting instruction sent by the network equipment, the terminal executes measurement result reporting or the terminal finishes measurement result reporting, the timer is stopped to run, namely under the condition, the terminal does not run the timer any more; or when the terminal receives a measurement result reporting instruction sent by the network device, the terminal executes measurement result reporting, or the terminal completes measurement result reporting, the timer is set to be overtime, that is, in this case, the terminal sets the timer to be overtime, and then the terminal executes an execution process of deleting the recorded measurement result under the condition that the timer is overtime.

The above-described implementations are specifically described below in specific applications.

Application scenarios I,

Step S11, the terminal receives the timing duration of the timer configured by the network equipment;

and the timing duration is sent to the terminal by the network equipment through a message of releasing RRC connection.

Step S12, the terminal starts the timer after receiving the configuration of the timing duration of the timer;

step S13, the terminal executes the non-connection state measurement and stores the measurement result in the cache;

step S141, after the terminal finishes reporting the measuring result, if the timer is still running, the timer is stopped and the measuring result in the cache is deleted, or after the terminal finishes reporting the measuring result, if the timer is still running, the timer is set to be overtime and the measuring result in the cache is deleted;

and step S142, when the timer is overtime, if the cache of the terminal has the measurement result, deleting the measurement result of the non-connection state stored in the cache.

Alternatively, the terminal executes step S141 or step S142.

Application scenarios II,

Step S21, the terminal acquires the timing duration of the timer;

the timing duration may be obtained in a protocol agreement or a network device, and when the timing duration is obtained in the network device, the timing duration may be obtained from a system broadcast message, or may be obtained from a message for releasing RRC connection, or may be obtained from an RRC connection reconfiguration message.

Step S22, the terminal stores the timing duration after receiving the timing duration of the timer;

step S231, when the terminal starts to execute the non-connection state measurement, starting a timer;

step S232, the terminal executes the non-connection state measurement, stores the measurement result in a cache, and starts a timer when the non-connection state measurement is finished;

note that, the terminal selects to execute step S231 or step S232.

Step S241, after the terminal finishes reporting the measuring result, if the timer is still running, the timer is stopped, and the measuring result in the cache is deleted, or after the terminal finishes reporting the measuring result, if the timer is still running, the timer is set to be overtime, and the measuring result in the cache is deleted;

and step S242, deleting the measurement result in the non-connection state stored in the cache if the measurement result exists in the cache of the terminal when the timer times out.

Alternatively, the terminal executes step S241 or step S242.

2. The measurement result deletion condition includes: the terminal receives the message for releasing RRC connection

It should be noted that, in this case, after the terminal enters the connected state, when the received message for releasing the RRC connection does not carry the non-connected state measurement configuration, the measurement result is deleted.

Application scenarios III,

Step S31, the terminal executes the non-connection state measurement and stores the measurement result in the cache;

step S32, the terminal enters into the connection state, and the terminal indicates the available non-connection state measurement result to the network device;

at this time, the network device does not require the terminal to report the measurement result.

Step S33, after the terminal receives the message of releasing RRC connection, the terminal deletes the measurement result;

specifically, one of the following implementations may be adopted:

mode a1, if the message for releasing RRC connection carries the non-connection state measurement configuration, the terminal deletes the measurement result;

mode a2, if the message for releasing RRC connection does not carry the non-connection state measurement configuration, the terminal deletes the measurement result.

3. The measurement result deletion condition includes: measurement result invalidation

In this case, if the measurement result deletion condition is satisfied, before deleting the measurement result, it is first determined that the measurement result of the terminal is in an invalid state, and the method may be implemented in one of the following implementation manners:

mode b1, after the terminal stops measuring, if the terminal reselects other cells except the resident cell when the terminal stops measuring, determining that the measurement result is invalid;

mode b2, if the cell of the terminal initiating the RRC connection establishment request is not consistent with the cell where the terminal resides when the terminal stops measuring, determining that the measurement result is invalid.

The application scene four,

Step S41, the terminal executes the non-connection state measurement and stores the measurement result in the cache;

and step S42, when the terminal stops the non-connection state measurement, the resident cell of the terminal is cell A, and if the terminal reselects other cells except cell A, the terminal deletes the stored measurement result.

Application scenarios of,

Step S51, the terminal executes the non-connection state measurement and stores the measurement result in the cache;

step S52, when the terminal stops the non-connected measurement, the cell where the terminal resides is cell a, and if the cell where the terminal initiates the RRC connection establishment request is not cell a, the terminal deletes the stored measurement result.

It should be noted that, with the implementation manner, it is possible to prevent the terminal from reporting an invalid measurement result to the network device.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the measurement result is deleted when the measurement result deletion condition is met, so that the terminal can be prevented from reporting an inaccurate measurement result, and the network equipment is prevented from using the inaccurate measurement result to configure the service cell from the source, thereby ensuring the reliability of network communication.
