Description
The application is a divisional application with the invention name of 'a measuring method, terminal equipment, network equipment and computer storage medium', wherein the application date is Chinese patent application number 201880003074.7 of PCT international patent application PCT/CN2018/080743 in the stage of entering China, namely number 2018, 03 and 27.
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of information processing technologies, and in particular, to a measurement method, a terminal device, a network device, and a computer storage medium.
Background
The carrier aggregation technology is an important technical feature introduced by LTE, and is also supported in 5G NR. An important technical content of carrier aggregation is how to increase the speed of configuring a secondary cell for a terminal by a network, so as to avoid the situation that the cell configuration is slow and more data needs to be transmitted through a primary cell. This is important for both licensed and unlicensed secondary cells. The purpose of this enhancement is to increase the utilization of the secondary cell, involving both idle and connected terminals. In the LTE system, dedicated Frequency priority may be configured when RRC connection is released, and the dedicated Frequency priority may be performed according to rfsp (rat and Frequency Selection policy) configured by the network. To support this enhancement, 3GPP introduced a dedicated signaling configuration for idle state measurements, while setting a timer. Meanwhile, it is not enough to rely on only the timer, because the RRC is associated with the frequency of the surrounding cells when configuring the idle measurement, and meanwhile, the number requirements of different terminals corresponding to the potential secondary cells are not necessarily uniform, so that the concept of the area needs to be introduced.
The problem with the prior art is that the introduced area concept cannot be larger than TA, but only smaller than TA, otherwise there is no benefit to the idle state measurements. Then, if another area is introduced, when the terminal performs TAU, it needs to be discussed to explicitly whether it needs to reacquire the idle state measurement configuration. One reason is that if the terminal does not leave the configured zone and the timer does not overflow, the terminal does not need to re-acquire the idle measurement configuration, and the TAU should not be an exception. Another reason is that if a TAU occurs, the terminal is no longer in an idle state and therefore needs to be released. However, this means that the terminal needs to acquire the measurement configuration again to enter IDLE after completing TAU. The prior art brings about the above contradiction and needs to be solved.

Detailed Description
So that the manner in which the features and aspects of the embodiments of the present invention can be understood in detail, a more particular description of the embodiments of the invention, briefly summarized above, may be had by reference to the embodiments, some of which are illustrated in the appended drawings.
The first embodiment,
An embodiment of the present invention provides a measurement method, which is applied to a terminal device in an idle state or an inactive state, and as shown in fig. 1, the method includes:
step 101: acquiring an idle state or inactive state measurement configuration and starting a timer; the idle state or inactive state measurement configuration is specific to a current area of the terminal equipment, and an applicable area of the measurement configuration currently configured by the terminal equipment comprises at least one cell;
step 102: and the terminal equipment executes area updating, and when the terminal equipment leaves the connected state, the terminal equipment is controlled to avoid reentering the connected state to obtain the measurement configuration in the idle state or the inactive state.
In the current area of the terminal device in this embodiment, at least one cell included in the current area of the terminal device includes a cell in which the terminal device is currently located.
The Area Update in this embodiment may be a tau (tracking Area Update) tracking Area Update, a registration Area Update rau (registration Area Update), an inactive RNAU (RAN-based Notification Area Update), or the like, and is not exhaustive here.
The terminal equipment of the embodiment of the invention can effectively utilize the idle state measurement mechanism of network configuration by reasonably processing the TAU. The invention is not only suitable for LTE system, but also suitable for NR system, and suitable for RRC idle state and RRC inactive state.
Specifically, the following describes the scheme provided in this embodiment based on several scenarios:
scene 1,
And the terminal equipment performs area updating, such as tracking area updating TAU processing, and does not acquire the measurement configuration in an idle state or an inactive state again when the terminal equipment is in a connected state and the customizer keeps timing.
That is, if the measurement configuration in the idle state or the inactive state acquired by the terminal is valid in a region (but the region is not defined by TA), the timer is still running even if the terminal enters the connected state when TAU occurs.
When the area updating is completed and the timer is not finished, if the terminal equipment does not enter an idle state or an inactive state, directly requesting measurement configuration in a connected state when the measurement configuration in the idle state or the inactive state needs to be acquired again; and when the idle state or the inactive state measurement configuration does not need to be acquired again, keeping the original measurement configuration for the idle state measurement to enter the idle state for measurement.
After the UE executes the TAU, if the UE does not enter the idle state or the inactive state before the timer ends, the UE directly requests measurement configuration in the connected state if the idle state measurement configuration needs to be obtained again; if not, keeping the original configuration to enter an idle state or an inactive state to continue measurement.
What is to be avoided is that the terminal enters an idle state or an inactive state after the TAU is finished, but enters a connected state because the measurement configuration needs to be acquired again, which may cause frequent signaling.
And when the timer is terminated, keeping the idle state or the inactive state measurement configuration, and continuing to use the idle state measurement configuration after the terminal equipment enters the idle state. Here, in order to avoid unnecessary re-acquisition of configuration overhead, the configuration terminal in this scenario may also retain the measurement configuration after the timer is terminated, and continue to use after entering the idle state.
And when the terminal equipment enters a connected state and the timer is not finished, the terminal equipment does not carry out idle state measurement. That is, if the UE is in the connected state, but the idle or inactive measurement configuration timer has not yet ended, the UE may not perform the idle or inactive measurement because the UE is in the connected state at this time. The scheme can coordinate the conflict between the timer scheme and the area scheme, so that the terminal still maintains the configuration validity timer of the idle state or the inactive state measurement even in the connected state, but does not perform the idle state or the inactive state measurement, i.e. does not require the connected-state terminal to perform the behavior of the idle state or the inactive state measurement.
Scene 2,
And when the terminal equipment enters a connection state, terminating the timer.
And when the terminal device completes the area update and enters the idle state or the inactive state again, the terminal device obtains the idle state or the inactive state measurement configuration again and reconfigures the timer.
That is, if the UE acquires a measurement configuration, valid in an area (but the area is not defined by TA), the terminal enters the connected state and terminates the timer when TAU occurs.
And after the terminal finishes the TAU, the terminal enters the idle state again to acquire the configuration of the idle state or the non-activated state and reconfigures a timer. This scheme does not require the terminal to keep a timer when a state transition occurs, but may incur unnecessary overhead to acquire the measurement configuration.
It should be further noted that, for the foregoing scenarios, one process that can be provided by the present embodiment is as follows: when the terminal device updates the area, the terminal may indicate whether the network needs to acquire the measurement configuration again, or when the network side returns the terminal to the idle state or the inactive state after performing the area update, it determines whether the idle state inactive state measurement configuration needs to be reconfigured.
The present embodiment is directed to a terminal device side process, where the method may include: when updating the area, the terminal equipment sends indication information to a network side; the indication information is used for indicating whether a network side needs to send idle state or inactive state measurement configuration to the terminal device again.
Finally, it should be noted that the aforementioned manner of sending the idle or inactive measurement configuration may be through RRC dedicated signaling.
Therefore, by adopting the above scheme, after the idle state or inactive state measurement configuration is configured, the terminal can reasonably process the idle state or inactive state measurement mechanism using the network configuration in the area update, so that whether the terminal device reacquires the idle state or inactive state measurement configuration is clearly defined, and further unnecessary processing for reacquiring the measurement configuration can be avoided.
Example II,
The embodiment of the invention provides a measuring method, which is applied to network equipment and comprises the following steps:
configuring idle state or inactive state measurement configuration for the terminal equipment;
the idle state or inactive state measurement configuration is directed at a current area of the terminal device, and an applicable area of the measurement configuration currently configured by the terminal device includes at least one cell.
The Area Update in this embodiment may be a tau (tracking Area Update) tracking Area Update, a registration Area Update rau (registration Area Update), or an inactive RNAU (RAN-based Notification Area Update).
The terminal equipment of the embodiment of the invention can effectively utilize the idle state measurement mechanism of network configuration by reasonably processing the TAU. The invention is not only suitable for LTE system, but also suitable for NR system, and suitable for RRC idle state and RRC inactive state.
Specifically, the following describes the scheme provided in this embodiment based on several scenarios:
scene 1,
When the terminal device completes area update and the timer is not finished, if the terminal device does not enter an idle state, the terminal device directly sends measurement configuration in a connected state of the terminal device when the measurement configuration in the idle state or in an inactive state needs to be obtained again.
That is, if the measurement configuration in the idle state or the inactive state acquired by the terminal is valid in a region (but the region is not defined by TA), the timer is still running even if the terminal enters the connected state when TAU occurs.
What is to be avoided is that the terminal enters an idle state or an inactive state after the TAU is finished, but enters a connected state because the measurement configuration needs to be acquired again, which may cause frequent signaling.
In order to avoid unnecessary configuration overhead, the configuration terminal in this scenario may also keep the measurement configuration after the timer is terminated, and continue to use after entering the idle state.
If the UE is in the connected state, but the idle or inactive measurement configuration timer has not yet ended, the UE may not perform idle or inactive measurement because the UE is in the connected state at this time. The scheme can coordinate the conflict between the timer scheme and the area updating scheme, so that the terminal still maintains the configuration validity timer of the idle state or the inactive state measurement even when the terminal is in the connected state, but does not perform the idle state or the inactive state measurement, namely does not require the behavior of the connected terminal to perform the idle state or the inactive state measurement.
Scene 2,
And when the terminal equipment completes area updating and enters the idle state again, sending the idle state or inactive state measurement configuration to the terminal equipment again and reconfiguring the timer.
That is, if the UE acquires a measurement configuration, valid in an area (but the area is not defined by TA), the terminal enters the connected state and terminates the timer when TAU occurs.
And after the terminal finishes the TAU, the terminal enters the idle state again to acquire the configuration of the idle state or the non-activated state and reconfigures a timer. This scheme does not require the terminal to keep a timer when a state transition occurs, but may incur unnecessary overhead to acquire the measurement configuration.
It should be further noted that, for the foregoing scenarios, one process that can be provided by the present embodiment is as follows: when the terminal device performs area update, the terminal may indicate whether the network needs to acquire the measurement configuration again, or when the network side returns the terminal to the idle state or the inactive state after performing area update (such as TAU, RNAU, and the like), it determines whether the idle state inactive state measurement configuration needs to be reconfigured.
The present embodiment is directed to a network side process, and the method may include: and when the terminal equipment is returned to an idle state or an inactive state after the execution of the RNAU is finished, determining whether the idle state or the inactive state measurement configuration needs to be reconfigured to the terminal equipment.
Finally, it should be noted that the aforementioned manner of sending the idle or inactive measurement configuration may be through RRC dedicated signaling.
Therefore, by adopting the above scheme, after the idle state or inactive state measurement configuration is configured, the terminal can reasonably process the idle state or inactive state measurement mechanism using the network configuration in the area update, so that whether the terminal device reacquires the idle state or inactive state measurement configuration is clearly defined, and further unnecessary processing for reacquiring the measurement configuration can be avoided.
Example III,
The embodiment of the invention provides a measuring method, which is applied to terminal equipment in an idle state or an inactive state, and comprises the following steps:
when the terminal equipment leaves the current cell, if the area updating does not occur, releasing the current idle state or inactive state measurement configuration, or initiating a connection request to enter a connection state to obtain the idle state or inactive state measurement configuration from a network side;
if the area update occurs, the network side is indicated to need the measurement configuration in an idle state or an inactive state while the area update is carried out.
The Area Update in this embodiment may be a tau (tracking Area Update) tracking Area Update, a registration Area Update rau (registration Area Update), or an inactive RNAU (RAN-based Notification Area Update).
The terminal equipment of the embodiment of the invention can effectively utilize the idle state measurement mechanism of network configuration by reasonably processing the TAU. The invention is not only suitable for LTE system, but also suitable for NR system, and suitable for RRC idle state and RRC inactive state.
That is, when a TAU or an RNAU occurs, the indication may be given to the network side to obtain a corresponding updated idle state or inactive state measurement configuration in the new area.
The acquiring of the idle state or inactive state measurement configuration from the network side includes:
and acquiring RRC signaling from the network side, and acquiring idle state or inactive state measurement configuration based on the RRC signaling.
Example four,
The embodiment of the invention provides a measuring method, which is applied to network equipment and comprises the following steps:
when the terminal equipment leaves the current cell, if the area updating does not occur, the terminal equipment initiates a connection request to enter a connection state, and sends idle state or inactive state measurement configuration to the terminal equipment;
and if the terminal equipment generates the area update, determining whether the measurement configuration in the idle state or the non-activated state needs to be sent to the terminal equipment.
The Area Update in this embodiment may be a tau (tracking Area Update) tracking Area Update, a registration Area Update rau (registration Area Update), or an inactive RNAU (RAN-based Notification Area Update).

The sending of the measurement configuration in the idle state or the inactive state to the terminal device includes:
and sending the measurement configuration of an idle state or an inactive state to the terminal equipment through RRC signaling.
Example V,
An embodiment of the present invention provides an idle state or inactive state terminal device, as shown in fig. 2, including:
the first communication unit 21 acquires an idle state or inactive state measurement configuration and starts a timer; the idle state or inactive state measurement configuration is specific to a current area of the terminal equipment, and an applicable area of the measurement configuration currently configured by the terminal equipment comprises at least one cell;
the first processing unit 22 performs a zone update, and controls to avoid re-entering the connected state to obtain the idle or inactive measurement configuration when the connected state is left.
The Area Update in this embodiment may be a tau (tracking Area Update) tracking Area Update, a registration Area Update rau (registration Area Update), or an inactive RNAU (RAN-based Notification Area Update).
The terminal equipment of the embodiment of the invention can effectively utilize the idle state measurement mechanism of network configuration by reasonably processing the TAU. The invention is not only suitable for LTE system, but also suitable for NR system, and suitable for RRC idle state and RRC inactive state.
Specifically, the following describes the scheme provided in this embodiment based on several scenarios:
scene 1,
The first processing unit 22 performs a zone update process, and does not re-acquire the measurement configuration in the idle state or the inactive state when the customizer keeps timing while in the connected state.
That is, if the measurement configuration in the idle state or the inactive state acquired by the terminal is valid in a region (but the region is not defined by TA), the timer is still running even if the terminal enters the connected state when TAU occurs.
A first processing unit 22, configured to, when the area update is completed and the timer is not finished, directly request measurement configuration in a connected state when it is necessary to reacquire measurement configuration in an idle state or an inactive state if the terminal device does not enter the idle state or the inactive state; and when the idle state or the inactive state measurement configuration does not need to be acquired again, keeping the original measurement configuration for the idle state measurement to enter the idle state for measurement.
A first processing unit 22, configured to, after the area update is performed, directly request measurement configuration in a connected state if idle state measurement configuration needs to be obtained again if the idle state measurement configuration has not been entered into an idle state or an inactive state before the timer is finished; if not, keeping the original configuration to enter an idle state or an inactive state to continue measurement.
What is to be avoided is that the terminal enters an idle state or an inactive state after the TAU is finished, but enters a connected state because the measurement configuration needs to be acquired again, which may cause frequent signaling.
And when the timer is terminated, keeping the idle state or the inactive state measurement configuration, and continuing to use the idle state measurement configuration after the terminal equipment enters the idle state. Here, in order to avoid unnecessary re-acquisition of configuration overhead, the configuration terminal in this scenario may also retain the measurement configuration after the timer is terminated, and continue to use after entering the idle state.
And the first processing unit 22, when the terminal device enters the connected state and the timer is not finished, the terminal device does not perform idle state measurement. That is, if the UE is in the connected state, but the idle or inactive measurement configuration timer has not yet ended, the UE may not perform the idle or inactive measurement because the UE is in the connected state at this time. The scheme can coordinate the conflict between the timer scheme and the area scheme, so that the terminal still maintains the configuration validity timer of the idle state or the inactive state measurement even in the connected state, but does not perform the idle state or the inactive state measurement, i.e. does not require the connected-state terminal to perform the behavior of the idle state or the inactive state measurement.
Scene 2,
The first processing unit 22, when entering the connected state, terminates the timer.
And, the first processing unit 22, when the area update is completed and the terminal device enters the idle state or the inactive state again, acquires the measurement configuration of the idle state or the inactive state again and reconfigures the timer.
That is, if the UE acquires a measurement configuration, valid in an area (but the area is not defined by TA), the terminal enters the connected state and terminates the timer when TAU occurs.
And after the terminal finishes the TAU, the terminal enters the idle state again to acquire the configuration of the idle state or the non-activated state and reconfigures a timer. This scheme does not require the terminal to keep a timer when a state transition occurs, but may incur unnecessary overhead to acquire the measurement configuration.
It should be further noted that, for the foregoing scenarios, one process that can be provided by the present embodiment is as follows: when the terminal device updates the area, the terminal may indicate whether the network needs to acquire the measurement configuration again, or when the network side returns the terminal to the idle state or the inactive state after performing the area update, it determines whether the idle state inactive state measurement configuration needs to be reconfigured.
In this embodiment, for the processing on the terminal device side, the first communication unit sends instruction information to the network side when performing area update; the indication information is used for indicating whether a network side needs to send idle state or inactive state measurement configuration to the terminal device again.
Finally, it should be noted that the aforementioned manner of sending the idle or inactive measurement configuration may be through RRC dedicated signaling.
Therefore, by adopting the above scheme, after the idle state or inactive state measurement configuration is configured, the terminal can reasonably process the idle state or inactive state measurement mechanism using the network configuration in the area update, so that whether the terminal device reacquires the idle state or inactive state measurement configuration is clearly defined, and further unnecessary processing for reacquiring the measurement configuration can be avoided.
Example six,
An embodiment of the present invention provides a network device, including:
the second communication unit is used for configuring idle state or inactive state measurement configuration to the terminal equipment;
the idle state or inactive state measurement configuration is directed at a current area of the terminal device, and an applicable area of the measurement configuration currently configured by the terminal device includes at least one cell.

The terminal equipment of the embodiment of the invention can effectively utilize the idle state measurement mechanism of network configuration by reasonably processing the TAU. The invention is not only suitable for LTE system, but also suitable for NR system, and suitable for RRC idle state and RRC inactive state.
Specifically, the following describes the scheme provided in this embodiment based on several scenarios:
scene 1,
And the second communication unit is used for directly sending the measurement configuration in the connection state of the terminal equipment when the terminal equipment needs to acquire the measurement configuration in the idle state or the inactive state again if the terminal equipment does not enter the idle state when the terminal equipment completes area updating and the timer does not end.
That is, if the measurement configuration in the idle state or the inactive state acquired by the terminal is valid in a region (but the region is not defined by TA), the timer is still running even if the terminal enters the connected state when TAU occurs.
What is to be avoided is that the terminal enters an idle state or an inactive state after the TAU is finished, but enters a connected state because the measurement configuration needs to be acquired again, which may cause frequent signaling.

If the UE is in the connected state, but the idle or inactive measurement configuration timer has not yet ended, the UE may not perform idle or inactive measurement because the UE is in the connected state at this time. The scheme can coordinate the conflict between the timer scheme and the area scheme, so that the terminal still maintains the configuration validity timer of the idle state or the inactive state measurement even in the connected state, but does not perform the idle state or the inactive state measurement, i.e. does not require the connected-state terminal to perform the behavior of the idle state or the inactive state measurement.
Scene 2,
And the second communication unit is used for sending the idle state or inactive state measurement configuration to the terminal equipment again and reconfiguring the timer when the terminal equipment finishes area updating and enters the idle state again.
That is, if the UE acquires a measurement configuration, valid in an area (but the area is not defined by TA), the terminal enters the connected state and terminates the timer when TAU occurs.
And after the terminal finishes the TAU, the terminal enters the idle state again to acquire the configuration of the idle state or the non-activated state and reconfigures a timer. This scheme does not require the terminal to keep a timer when a state transition occurs, but may incur unnecessary overhead to acquire the measurement configuration.
It should be further noted that, for the foregoing scenarios, one process that can be provided by the present embodiment is as follows: when the terminal device updates the area, the terminal may indicate whether the network needs to acquire the measurement configuration again, or when the network side returns the terminal to the idle state or the inactive state after completing execution of the RNAU, the terminal determines whether the idle state inactive state measurement configuration needs to be reconfigured.
In this embodiment, for the processing at the network side, when the second communication unit returns the terminal device to the idle state or the inactive state after the execution of the RNAU, it is determined whether to reconfigure the idle state or the inactive state measurement configuration to the terminal device.
Finally, it should be noted that the aforementioned manner of sending the idle or inactive measurement configuration may be through RRC dedicated signaling.
Therefore, by adopting the above scheme, after the idle state or inactive state measurement configuration is configured, the terminal can reasonably process the idle state or inactive state measurement mechanism using the network configuration in the area update, so that whether the terminal device reacquires the idle state or inactive state measurement configuration is clearly defined, and further unnecessary processing for reacquiring the measurement configuration can be avoided.
