Detailed Description
For ease of understanding, terms referred to in the present application will be first introduced.
1. System Information (SI)
The system message is cell-level information, i.e. is valid for all terminal devices accessing the cell. The SI is divided into a main system information block (MIB) and a System Information Block (SIB). The MIB includes a limited number of the most important, most commonly used transmission parameters that require additional information from the cell, while the MIB is transmitted on the Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH). There are many types of SIB types, where a system information block 1-narrowband (SIB 1-NB) not only carries parameters required for a terminal device to access a cell, but also carries scheduling information of other types of system information blocks. The system information blocks except the SIB1-NB can only be transmitted in the same SI message, but cannot be split and mapped into two different SI messages. Multiple system information blocks with the same scheduling requirements may also be encapsulated into the same SI message for transmission together. The protocol provides that the network device broadcasts the system information block in two different ways: the first is to broadcast SIB1-NB through SIB1 message periods, and the second is to broadcast other SIBs than SIB1 through multiple SI message periods.
2. Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP)
The reference signal received power is defined as the linear average of the received power in dBm over the considered measurement frequency bandwidth over the resource elements carrying the reference signal.
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1, the terminal device 101, the first network device 102, and the second network device 103 are included. The terminal device 101 is an entity, such as a mobile phone, on the user side for receiving or transmitting signals. A terminal device may also be referred to as a terminal (terminal), a User Equipment (UE), a Mobile Station (MS), a Mobile Terminal (MT), etc. The terminal device may be a mobile phone (mobile phone), a wearable device, a tablet computer (Pad), a computer with wireless transceiving function, a Virtual Reality (VR) terminal device, an Augmented Reality (AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal in industrial control (industrial control), a wireless terminal in self-driving (self-driving), a wireless terminal in remote surgery (remote medical supply), a wireless terminal in a smart grid (smart grid), a wireless terminal in transportation safety (transportation safety), a wireless terminal in a smart city (smart city), a wireless terminal in a smart home (smart home), a terminal device for supporting enhanced Machine-Type communication (eMTC), Long Term Evolution (LTE) of a universal mobile telecommunications technology, and/or a terminal device for supporting narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT), and so on. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific technology and the specific device form adopted by the terminal device.
The first network device 102 is a network device corresponding to a serving cell of the terminal device 101, and the second network device 103 is a network device corresponding to a cell to be accessed. The cell to be accessed is a neighboring cell of the serving cell, and the terminal device may initiate a cell reselection procedure for the cell to be accessed. It should be noted that the number of adjacent cells included in the communication system shown in fig. 1 is only for example and is not limited to the embodiment of the present application. It should be further noted that, the difference between the network devices corresponding to the serving cell and the cell to be accessed shown in fig. 1 is only for example and does not constitute a limitation to the embodiment of the present application. For example, the network devices corresponding to the serving cell and the cell to be accessed in fig. 1 may also be the same network device.
In one implementation, the communication system shown in fig. 1 may also include other cells to be accessed of the serving cell. In fig. 1, an oval area where the first network device 102 is located is a coverage area of a serving cell of the terminal device 101, and an oval area where the second network device 103 is located is a coverage area of a cell to be accessed. The terminal device 101 is simultaneously in the coverage of the serving cell and the cell to be accessed.

The network device may be an evolved node b (eNB), a transmission point (TRP), a next generation base station (gNB) in a New Radio (NR) system of 5G, a base station in another future mobile communication system, or an access node in a wireless fidelity (WiFi) system.

Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present application may also be applied to various future communication systems, such as a 6G system or other communication networks.
In a cell reselection method shown in fig. 1, a cell reselection process mainly includes: firstly, if the terminal equipment 101 meets the cell reselection condition, acquiring the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the serving cell signal; the terminal device 101 judges whether the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the serving cell signal is smaller than a preset threshold value; and thirdly, if the measured value of the signal to noise ratio is smaller than the preset threshold value, the terminal device 101 initiates a cell reselection process.
By the cell reselection method, when the terminal device 101 meets the existing cell reselection condition, if the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the serving cell signal is smaller than the preset threshold, a cell reselection process is initiated, which is beneficial to avoiding the ping-pong reselection condition.
A cell reselection method provided by the present application is described in detail below.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a cell reselection method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The cell reselection method may be implemented by the terminal device 101 shown in fig. 1, or may be implemented by a chip in the terminal device 101; as shown in fig. 2, the cell reselection method includes, but is not limited to, the following steps 201 to 203, and the method shown in fig. 2 is described by taking the application to the terminal device 101 as an example.
S201, if the cell reselection condition is met, acquiring a measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the serving cell signal.
Specifically, obtaining the measurement value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the serving cell signal refers to obtaining the signal-to-noise ratio of a signal sent by a network device corresponding to the serving cell. It should be noted that the terminal device may always measure the signal-to-noise ratio of a signal sent by a network device corresponding to a serving cell, and in this embodiment of the present application, the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the serving cell signal obtained under the condition that the cell reselection condition is satisfied refers to: the terminal device last measures the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal sent by the network device corresponding to the serving cell, and the obtained result (i.e., the measurement value of the signal-to-noise ratio). The signal sent by the network device corresponding to the serving cell may be a reference signal or a data transmission signal.
The step of judging whether the cell reselection condition is met is as follows: receiving a first system message broadcasted by a service cell, wherein the first system message carries cell reselection parameters; measuring Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) of a cell to be accessed to obtain an RSRP measurement value of the cell to be accessed; and judging whether the cell reselection condition is met according to the RSRP measurement value of the cell to be accessed and the cell reselection parameter. The cell reselection parameters include: a cell reselection threshold value, a cell reselection time parameter, a cell offset value, a cell reselection hysteresis value, and the like. The first system message may be SIB1-NB, system information block 3-narrowband (SIB 3-narrowband band, SIB3-NB), system information block 4-narrowband (SIB 4-NB), system information block 5-narrowband (SIB 5-NB), etc.
The step of judging whether the cell reselection condition is met according to the RSRP measurement value of the cell to be accessed and the cell reselection parameter is as follows: and when the time of the terminal equipment residing in the service cell exceeds 1S, the S value obtained according to the RSRP measurement value of the cell to be accessed is less than or equal to the cell reselection threshold value, and the R criterion is met in the cell reselection time parameter, the cell reselection condition is determined to be met. And the S value is the RSRP measurement value-the lowest receiving level + the lowest receiving level bias-the power compensation of the cell to be accessed. Wherein, the lowest receiving level is 0-140 dBm, and the lowest receiving level offset and power compensation are 0. The R criterion refers to: the sum of the RSRP measurement value and the cell bias value of the cell to be accessed is larger than the sum of the RSRP measurement value and the cell reselection hysteresis value of the serving cell.
In an implementation manner, if the time for the terminal device to camp on the serving cell does not exceed 1S, an S value obtained according to an RSRP measurement value of the cell to be accessed is greater than a cell reselection threshold value, and/or an R criterion is not satisfied within a cell reselection time parameter, it is determined that the cell reselection condition is not satisfied.
And under the condition that the cell measurement is determined to be started, the terminal equipment triggers and executes the step of measuring the Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) of the cell to be accessed. The step of determining whether to initiate cell measurement is: measuring the RSRP of the serving cell to obtain the RSRP measurement value of the serving cell; judging whether cell measurement is started or not according to the RSRP measurement value of the serving cell and the measurement starting parameter; the measurement initiation parameter is carried in a second system message, which is broadcast by the serving cell. Judging whether cell measurement is started or not according to the RSRP measurement value and the measurement starting parameter of the serving cell specifically comprises the following steps: and obtaining an S value according to the RSRP measurement value of the serving cell, and determining to start cell measurement if the S value is less than or equal to the measurement starting parameter. Wherein, the second system message may be: SIB1-NB, SIB3-NB, etc.
S202, judging whether the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the serving cell signal is smaller than a preset threshold value.
The preset threshold may be determined according to a demodulation capability of a physical layer of the terminal device. For example, it may be determined by the terminal device itself according to the demodulation capability of the physical layer of the terminal device. Or, the terminal device may report the demodulation capability of its physical layer to the network device, and then the network device determines the preset threshold according to the demodulation capability of the physical layer of the terminal device. And the network equipment is corresponding to the service cell of the terminal equipment.
S203, if the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio is smaller than a preset threshold value, initiating a cell reselection process.
If the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio is smaller than the preset threshold, the error rate of the terminal device in signal demodulation is high, which affects the normal operation of the uplink and downlink services of the terminal device, and therefore cell reselection is required. The initiating of the cell reselection procedure described in the embodiment of the present application refers to a cell reselection procedure initiated for a cell to be accessed.
In the prior art, cell reselection only refers to RSRP measurement values of a serving cell and a cell to be accessed. When the terminal device is located at the cell edge, there may be a situation where the RSRP measurement values of multiple cells are approximate, which may cause the terminal device to repeatedly reselect among multiple cells, i.e., may cause ping-pong reselection. The cell data transmission quality is not only related to RSRP but also to the signal-to-noise ratio of the cell signal. Therefore, after the existing cell reselection condition is met, the condition whether the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the serving cell signal is smaller than the preset threshold is added, and if the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the serving cell signal is smaller than the preset threshold, that is, the serving cell is a non-high quality cell, the normal operation of the service is affected, and a cell reselection process can be initiated. After the existing cell reselection condition is met, the condition whether the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the serving cell signal is smaller than the preset threshold value is increased, so that the ping-pong reselection condition can be avoided.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart of another cell reselection method provided in this embodiment, where the cell reselection method shown in fig. 3 may be implemented by the terminal device 101 shown in fig. 1, or may be implemented by a chip in the terminal device 101; as shown in fig. 3, the cell reselection method includes, but is not limited to, the following steps 301 to 305:
s301, if the cell reselection condition is met, acquiring a measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the serving cell signal.
S302, whether the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the serving cell signal is smaller than a preset threshold value is judged.
It should be noted that, the execution processes of steps S301 to S302 may refer to the specific descriptions in steps S201 to S202 in fig. 2, and are not described herein again.
S303, measuring the signal-to-noise ratio of the cell signal to be accessed.
And measuring the signal to noise ratio of the signal of the cell to be accessed, namely measuring the signal to noise ratio of the reference signal sent by the network equipment corresponding to the cell to be accessed.
S304, judging whether the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the cell signal to be accessed is smaller than a preset threshold value.
The process of determining whether the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal of the cell to be accessed is smaller than the preset threshold is the same as the process of determining whether the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal of the serving cell is smaller than the preset threshold, and the difference is that the cell to be accessed becomes the serving cell. Therefore, the execution process of step S304 can refer to the detailed description in step S202 in fig. 2, and is not described herein again.
S305, if the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the serving cell signal is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value and the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the cell signal to be accessed is greater than or equal to the preset threshold value, initiating a cell reselection process.
If the measured values of the signal-to-noise ratios of the signals of the serving cell and the cell to be accessed are greater than or equal to the preset threshold value, the serving cell and the cell to be accessed can be considered as high-quality cells, and good service experience can be provided. The serving cell satisfies the cell reselection condition, which indicates that the signal quality of the serving cell is poor, so that the terminal device initiates a cell reselection process to reselect to a high-quality cell to be accessed, thereby facilitating the normal operation of the terminal device.
In the above embodiment, after the terminal device meets the cell reselection condition, a condition whether the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the signals of the serving cell and the cell to be accessed is smaller than a preset threshold is added, so that the ping-pong reselection condition can be avoided, and power consumption can be reduced.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart of another cell reselection method provided in this embodiment, where the cell reselection method shown in fig. 4 may be implemented by the terminal device 101 shown in fig. 1, or may be implemented by a chip in the terminal device 101; as shown in fig. 4, the cell reselection method includes, but is not limited to, the following steps 401 to 405:
s401, if the cell reselection condition is met, acquiring a measured value of a signal-to-noise ratio of a serving cell signal;
s402, judging whether the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal of the service cell is smaller than a preset threshold value;
s403, measuring the signal-to-noise ratio of the cell signal to be accessed;
s404, judging whether the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal of the cell to be accessed is smaller than a preset threshold value;
it should be noted that the execution processes of steps S401 to S402 may refer to the specific descriptions in steps S201 to S202 in fig. 2, and the execution processes of steps S403 to S404 may refer to the specific descriptions in steps S303 to S304 in fig. 3, which are not described herein again.
S405, if the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the serving cell signal is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value and the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the cell signal to be accessed is less than the preset threshold value, the cell signal to be accessed resides in the serving cell.
The measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal of the cell to be accessed is smaller than the preset threshold value, that is, the cell to be accessed is a non-high quality cell, and the service experience may be poor. The measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the serving cell signal is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, that is, the serving cell is a high-quality cell, and the terminal device may consider that although the signal quality of the serving cell is poor, the normal operation of the service is not affected, and thus the terminal device resides in the serving cell. When the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal of the cell to be accessed is smaller than the preset threshold, if the terminal device is switched to the cell to be accessed, the service of the terminal device is affected.
In the above embodiment, after the terminal device meets the cell reselection condition, a condition whether the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the signals of the serving cell and the cell to be accessed is smaller than a preset threshold is added, so that the ping-pong reselection condition can be avoided, and power consumption can be reduced.

s501, if the cell reselection condition is met, acquiring a measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the serving cell signal.
S502, judging whether the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the service cell signal is smaller than a preset threshold value.
And S503, if the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio is smaller than a preset threshold value, initiating a cell reselection process.
It should be noted that, the execution process of steps S501 to S503 can refer to the specific description in steps S201 to S203 in fig. 2, and is not described herein again.
S504, if the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio is larger than or equal to the preset threshold value, the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal of the cell to be accessed is measured.
And S505, judging whether the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the cell signal to be accessed is smaller than a preset threshold value.

It should be noted that, the execution process of steps S504 to S506 may refer to the specific description in steps S303 to S305 in fig. 3, and is not described herein again.
And S507, if the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the serving cell signal is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value and the measured value of the signal-to-noise ratio of the cell signal to be accessed is less than the preset threshold value, the cell signal to be accessed resides in the serving cell.
