Description

Background

Currently, with the pursuit of speed, delay, high-speed mobility, energy efficiency and the diversity and complexity of services in future life, the 3GPP international standards organization has started to develop 5G for this purpose. The main application scenarios of 5G are: enhanced mobile ultra-wideband (eMBB: environmental biological B information technology), low-latency high-reliability communication (URLLC: ultra-reliable low latency communication), and large-scale Machine Type communication (mMTC: massive Machine Type of communication).

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

In a Long Term Evolution (Long Term Evolution) system, configuring dedicated measurement for a terminal device in an idle state may increase power consumption of the terminal device in the idle state. Similar problems may also exist if similar RRM measurement mechanisms are used for idle and inactive terminals in a 5G system.

Detailed description of the invention

Technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present disclosure, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments disclosed herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of one application scenario of an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, communication system 100 may include a terminal device 110 and a network device 120. Network device 120 may communicate with terminal device 110 over the air.

It should be appreciated that communication system 100 is merely an example, and embodiments of the present invention are not limited in this respect. That is to say, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to various communication systems, for example: a Long Term Evolution (LTE) System, a Time Division Duplex (TDD) System, a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), a 5G New air interface (New Radio NR) communication System, and the like.

Network device 120 may refer to any entity on the network side that transmits or receives signals. For example, it may be a user equipment of Machine Type Communication (MTC), an evolved Node B (eNB or eNodeB) in LTE, or a base station equipment in 5G network.

Further, the terminal device 110 may be any kind of terminal device. Specifically, the terminal device 110 may communicate with one or more Core networks (Core networks) through a Radio Access Network (RAN), and may also be referred to as an Access terminal, a User Equipment (UE), a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a User terminal, a wireless communication device, a User agent, or a User Equipment. For example, the terminal device 110 may be a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a handheld device having Wireless communication capability, a computing device or other processing device connected to a Wireless modem, an in-vehicle device, a wearable device, or a terminal device in a 5G network, etc.

In addition, the measurement described in the embodiments of the present disclosure refers to RRM measurement, unless otherwise specified.

In a 5G network environment, the states of the terminal device may include an IDLE state (e.g., RRC _ IDLE state), a CONNECTED state (e.g., RRC _ CONNECTED state), and an INACTIVE state (e.g., RRC _ INACTIVE state).

In the idle state, 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 does not have an Access Stratum (AS) context of the terminal equipment. There is no RRC connection.

In the connection state, RRC connection exists, and the base station and the terminal device have an AS context of the terminal device. The location of the terminal device known by the network side is at a specific cell level. Mobility is network side controlled mobility. Unicast data may be communicated between the terminal device and the base station.

In an inactive state, mobility refers to cell selection and reselection based on terminal equipment, connection between CN-NR exists, the AS context of the terminal equipment exists on a certain base station, paging is triggered by a Radio Access Network (RAN), a paging area based on the RAN is managed by the RAN, and the position of the terminal equipment known by a Network side is based on the paging area level of the RAN.

When the terminal device is in the inactive state, the network side may configure the configuration parameters of the inactive state to the UE through RRC Release (RRC Release) dedicated signaling.

The terminal equipment in the inactive state keeps the connection between the RAN and the CN, and when downlink data arrives, the RAN is triggered to initiate RAN initial paging to inform the terminal equipment to recover RRC connection so as to receive the downlink data. The terminal equipment in the idle state and the connection state only receives the initial paging of the CN. The UE, in an inactive state, may receive a RAN-initiated page and a CN-initiated page. When the network side is abnormal, a CN initial paging message is sent to the UE in an inactive state, for example, the RAN cannot find the context of the terminal device. When the terminal equipment receives the paging message initiated by the CN, the terminal equipment considers that the paging message is abnormal and returns to the idle state, and the terminal equipment informs a Non-Access Stratum (NAS) to recover.

And the terminal equipment in the idle state and the inactive state executes RRM measurement based on the frequency point priority for cell reselection, wherein the RRM measurement behavior is restricted by relevant parameters of measurement configuration in a system broadcast message. For example:

for the start of the same-frequency measurement, when the serving cell Srxlev is larger than SIntraSearchP and the serving cell Squal is smaller than SIntraSearchQ, the same-frequency neighbor measurement is not started, otherwise, the same-frequency neighbor measurement is started. Wherein Srxlev represents the measured Signal strength, sintraSearchP represents the starting threshold of the co-frequency measurement based on the Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), squal represents the measured Signal Quality, and SintraSearchQ represents the starting threshold of the co-frequency measurement based on the Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ).

For pilot frequency measurement with the same priority or low priority, when serving cell Srxlev is larger than SnonIntraSearchP and serving cell Squal is larger than SnonIntraSearchQ, pilot frequency measurement with the same priority or low priority is not started, otherwise, pilot frequency measurement with the same priority or low priority is started. The SnonIntraSearchP represents a starting threshold of non-co-frequency measurement based on RSRP, and the SnonIntraSearchQ represents a starting threshold of non-co-frequency measurement based on RSRQ.

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

To meet the requirement of high rate, carrier Aggregation (CA) technology may also be supported in 5G. In the CA technology, resources on multiple Component Carriers (CCs) are jointly scheduled and used, so that the NR system can support a larger bandwidth, thereby enabling a higher system peak rate. The Component carriers may include one Primary Cell Component (PCC) and one or more Secondary Cell Components (SCCs). The component carrier may also be referred to as a serving cell. The PCC may be referred to as a Primary Cell (Primary Cell), and the SCC may be referred to as a Secondary Cell (Secondary Cell).

In the LTE system, configuring dedicated measurement configuration for a terminal device in an idle state may be used to select a suitable Secondary Cell (Secondary Cell) to implement fast CA configuration, and may also implement fast Dual Connectivity (DC). However, the terminal device performs corresponding measurement in the idle state, which may affect the power consumption performance of the terminal device in the idle state. Similar problems exist for other systems, such as configuring dedicated measurement configurations for terminal devices in idle or inactive state in NR systems.

In an LTE system, when a network side configures dedicated measurement configuration for a terminal device in an idle state or an inactive state, if a priority of a configured dedicated measurement frequency point in system information is relatively low, the terminal device is likely not to need to measure the frequency point. In addition, the residence time of the terminal device in the idle state or inactive state is unpredictable, i.e. when the terminal device leaves the idle state to enter the connected state is indeterminate when releasing the link. If the terminal device does not need to establish an RRC connection for a long time, this part of dedicated measurements will not be available to the network, which will consume extra power for the terminal device.

The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to provide RRM measurement results required for fast configuration of CA and DC for the network side without increasing additional power consumption of the terminal device in the idle state, inactive state.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, an RRM measurement method is provided. As shown in FIG. 2, the method may include operations 210-230.

In 210, a terminal device receives a first measurement configuration sent by a network side, where the first measurement configuration includes configuration information of RRM measurement in dedicated signaling;

in an example, the first measurement configuration comprises a dedicated measurement configuration in an RRC connection release message sent by the network side to the terminal device. These measurement configurations require the terminal device to report the corresponding measurement results to the network side. Here, the RRC connection release message is a dedicated signaling containing configuration information of RRM measurement.

In 220, the terminal device saves the first measurement configuration in an idle state or an inactive state.

In 230, the terminal device starts the RRM measurement according to the first measurement configuration when it needs to request RRC connection establishment or RRC connection recovery from the network side.

It should be understood that, when it is necessary to request RRC connection establishment or RRC connection recovery from the network side, the terminal device starts the RRM measurement according to the first measurement configuration, which may include but is not limited to the following situations: when the terminal equipment is triggered to request RRC connection establishment or RRC connection recovery from a network side, starting the RRM measurement according to the first measurement configuration; when the terminal equipment prepares to request RRC connection establishment or RRC connection recovery from a network side, starting the RRM measurement according to the first measurement configuration; when the terminal equipment is about to request RRC connection establishment or RRC connection recovery from a network side, starting the RRM measurement according to the first measurement configuration; when the terminal equipment has the requirement of RRC connection establishment or RRC connection recovery, starting the RRM measurement according to the first measurement configuration; and the terminal equipment starts the RRM measurement according to the first measurement configuration so as to request RRC connection establishment or RRC connection recovery from a network side.

In an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal device starts the RRM measurement according to the first measurement configuration when an RRC connection establishment or an RRC connection recovery needs to be requested from the network side according to an indication from the network side or according to a predefined protocol (e.g., a first protocol). For example, the first measurement configuration or the dedicated signaling includes first indication information, where the first indication information is used to indicate that the terminal device starts the RRM measurement according to the first measurement configuration when it needs to request RRC connection establishment or RRC connection recovery from a network side.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the configuration information in the first measurement configuration may include one or more frequency points of RRM measurements. The terminal device initiating the RRM measurement according to the first measurement configuration includes: and the terminal equipment starts the RRM measurement on at least one of one or more frequency points contained in the first measurement configuration.

And the terminal equipment executes RRM measurement based on the frequency point priority for cell reselection in an idle state or an inactive state. The frequency points measured by the method can be completely different from the frequency points in the first measurement configuration, and can also be partially or completely the same. If the terminal device has measured one or more frequency points in the first measurement configuration in the idle state or the inactive state to obtain a measurement result, the terminal device starts RRM measurement according to the first measurement configuration when it needs to request RRC connection establishment or RRC connection recovery from the network side, and may adopt any one of the following manners:

the terminal equipment starts RRM measurement on all frequency points configured by the first measurement configuration;

the terminal equipment determines whether all frequency points configured by the first measurement configuration have frequency points which are not measured in an idle state or an inactive state, and if so, the terminal equipment starts RRM measurement on the frequency points which are not measured. If no unmeasured frequency point exists, the RRM measurement is not required to be started.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device starts the RRM measurement on at least one of the one or more frequency points included in the first measurement configuration according to an instruction from the network side or according to a predefined protocol (for example, a second protocol). For example, the first measurement configuration or the dedicated signaling includes second indication information, where the second indication information is used to indicate that the terminal device starts the RRM measurement on at least one of one or more frequency points included in the first measurement configuration when the RRM measurement is started. Specifically, the second indication information may be used to instruct the terminal device to initiate the RRM measurement in one of the following manners: starting RRM measurement on all frequency points contained in the first measurement configuration; and determining whether frequency points which are not measured in an idle state or an inactive state exist in all the frequency points included in the first measurement configuration, and if so, starting RRM measurement on the frequency points which are not measured.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device needs to request RRC connection establishment or RRC connection recovery from the network side, which includes one or more of the following situations:

the terminal equipment in an idle state receives a CN paging message;

the terminal equipment in the inactive state receives RAN paging information;

the non-access layer of the terminal equipment in the idle state triggers an RRC layer to establish RRC connection;

the access or non-access stratum of the terminal device in the inactive state triggers the RRC layer to Resume (Resume) the Suspended (Suspended) RRC connection.

In addition to the above, there is also a case where the terminal device may initiate RRM measurements according to the first measurement configuration. Namely: and when the terminal equipment in the inactive state receives a CN paging message, starting the RRM measurement according to the first measurement configuration.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device starts the RRM measurement according to the first measurement configuration when receiving a core network paging message in an inactive state according to the first indication information or according to the first protocol. For example, the first indication information is further used to indicate that the RRM measurement is started according to the first measurement configuration when the terminal device receives a core network paging message in an inactive state.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, after the terminal device starts the RRM measurement, a measurement result available indication may be reported to a network side, for example:

when the terminal equipment obtains the measurement result of at least one frequency point except the frequency point of the service cell, reporting the available indication of the measurement result to a network side; or

And when the terminal equipment obtains the measurement result of the frequency point of the serving cell and the third indication information in the first measurement configuration or the special signaling indicates that the measurement result of the frequency point of the serving cell is reported, reporting a measurement result available indication to a network side. Here, the third indication information is used to indicate whether to report the measurement result of the serving cell frequency point of the terminal device.

In an example, if the network side does not support reporting of the measurement result of the serving cell frequency point, and the terminal device only obtains the measurement result of the serving cell frequency point, the available indication of the measurement result may not be reported to the network side. It should be noted that the above reported measurement results may include measurement results obtained by performing RRM measurement based on frequency point priority for cell reselection by the terminal device in an idle state or an inactive state, and/or other measurement results. If the terminal device obtains the measurement result of a frequency point in the idle state or the inactive state, and the frequency point is included in the first measurement configuration, the terminal device may also report the measurement result available indication to the network side.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal device reports a measurement result according to a request from a network side, that is, the terminal device reports the measurement result to the network side in response to receiving a request for reporting the measurement result sent by the network side, where the measurement result includes a measurement result obtained by performing RRM measurement on all or part of frequency points included in the first measurement configuration by the terminal device.

The measurement result obtained by the terminal device performing RRM measurement on all or part of the frequency points included in the first measurement configuration may include a measurement result obtained by the terminal device performing RRM measurement in an idle state or an inactive state. Of course, the terminal device may also report the measurement result obtained by performing the RRM measurement in the idle state or the inactive state, and the measurement result obtained by performing the RRM measurement according to the first measurement configuration when the RRC connection establishment or the RRC connection recovery needs to be requested from the network side, respectively.

In an example, if the obtained measurement result includes a measurement result of the terminal device on a serving cell frequency point, the terminal device determines whether to report the measurement result on the serving cell frequency point according to the first measurement configuration or the third indication information in the dedicated signaling. Here, the third indication information is used to indicate whether to report the measurement result of the serving cell frequency point of the terminal device. In another example, if the system does not support the same-frequency CA or DC, when the measurement result includes the measurement result of the terminal device on the serving cell frequency point, the terminal device does not report the measurement result on the serving cell frequency point, and only reports the measurement results on other frequency points.

It should be understood that the division of the first indication information, the second indication information and the third indication information is only a logical division, and in practical applications, the three indication information may be integrated together, or be separate information, or be subdivided into more specific information. The disclosed embodiments are not so limited.

It should be understood that the first protocol and the second protocol may refer to the same protocol or different protocols, which is not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, after starting RRM measurement, the terminal device reports an available measurement result indication to a network side, and when there are no unmeasured frequency points in all frequency points included in the first measurement configuration, RRM measurement is continuously performed on the unmeasured frequency points. And the network side sends a request for reporting the measurement result to the terminal equipment after receiving the available measurement result indication, and the terminal equipment reports the measurement result after receiving the request for reporting the measurement result. However, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the reporting manner of the measurement result.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a radio resource management RRM measurement method is provided, as shown in fig. 3, which may include operations 310 and 320.

In 310, the network device sends a first measurement configuration to the terminal device, the first measurement configuration comprising configuration information of RRM measurements in dedicated signaling;

In 320, the terminal device saves the first measurement configuration. For example, the terminal device saves the first measurement configuration in an idle state or an inactive state, so as to start the RRM measurement according to the first measurement configuration when a radio resource control, RRC, connection establishment or RRC connection recovery needs to be requested from a network side.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the first measurement configuration includes a dedicated measurement configuration in an RRC connection release message sent to the terminal device.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the first indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to initiate the RRM measurement according to the first measurement configuration in one or more of the following cases:

the terminal equipment receives a core network paging message in an idle state;

the terminal equipment receives a paging message of a wireless access network in an inactive state;

in an idle state, a non-access layer of the terminal equipment triggers an RRC layer to establish RRC connection;

and when the terminal equipment is in an inactive state, the access layer or the non-access layer triggers the RRC layer to recover the suspended RRC connection.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the first indication information is further configured to instruct the terminal device to start the RRM measurement according to the first measurement configuration when receiving a core network paging message in an inactive state.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the first measurement configuration or the dedicated signaling further includes second indication information, where the second indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to start the RRM measurement on at least one of the one or more frequency points included in the first measurement configuration.

An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a computer-readable storage medium on which a computer program is stored, the computer program, when executed by a processor, implementing the processes of any one of the methods according to the above-described embodiments of the present disclosure.

In the above embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal device stores the first measurement configuration on the network side after receiving the first measurement configuration on the network side (for example, after receiving the dedicated measurement configuration on the network side in the RRC connection release message and returning to the idle state or the inactive state), and does not immediately start the corresponding RRM measurement (such as the dedicated measurement). The terminal device in the idle state or the inactive state can still perform the RRM measurement based on the frequency point priority for cell reselection. And when the terminal equipment needs to request RRC connection establishment or RRC connection recovery from the network side, starting corresponding RRM measurement according to the first measurement configuration. For example, the terminal device may start the respective RRM measurement according to the first measurement configuration upon reception of the paging message or upon initialization of the connection establishment procedure or upon initialization of the connection recovery procedure. After the terminal device starts the corresponding RRM measurement according to the first measurement configuration, it may indicate to the network side that there is a measurement result in the uplink message, that is, send a measurement result available indication, and then report the measurement result based on the request of the base station.

In the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure, when requesting RRC connection establishment or RRC connection recovery from a network side, a terminal device in an idle state or an inactive state starts corresponding RRM measurement according to a first measurement configuration (for example, a dedicated measurement configuration in a dedicated signaling), so as to provide a timely measurement result to the network side, so that the network side can rapidly configure and activate CA and DC technologies, and power loss of the terminal device in the idle state and the inactive state is not additionally increased while throughput of the terminal and the network is improved.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device initiates RRM measurements according to the dedicated measurement configuration when receiving the paging message.

In this embodiment, when the terminal device in an idle state receives a core network paging (CN paging), or when the terminal device in an inactive state receives a radio access network paging (RAN paging) or the core network paging, the network side starts corresponding RRM measurement according to a dedicated measurement configuration configured by a dedicated signaling (e.g., an RRC connection release message) when the previous connection is released, where the RRM measurement started according to the dedicated measurement configuration may be referred to as a dedicated measurement.

The terminal device may perform the measurement in one of two ways:

the first mode is as follows: the terminal equipment starts measurement on all frequency points required by special measurement configuration, and no matter which frequency points are measured in an idle state or an inactive state;

the second mode is as follows: the terminal equipment compares the frequency point list required by the special measurement configuration with the frequency points measured by the terminal equipment in the idle state or the inactive state, and only starts measurement on the frequency points which are not measured by the terminal equipment in the idle state or the inactive state in the frequency point list.

In an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal device initiates RRM measurements according to the dedicated measurement configuration upon initiation of the connection establishment procedure.

In this embodiment, the NAS layer requires to establish an RRC connection, and when the RRC layer initializes the RRC connection establishment procedure after receiving the NAS layer instruction, the RRC layer starts corresponding RRM measurement according to the dedicated measurement configuration configured on the network side when the connection is released last time. The terminal device may perform the measurement according to the first manner or the second manner, which is not described in detail.

The NAS layer of the terminal device requires to establish RRC connection, including the case where the terminal device has uplink data to send, but not limited to this, and covers various cases where the terminal device has a connection establishment requirement.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device initiates RRM measurements according to the dedicated measurement configuration upon initiation of the connection recovery procedure.

In this embodiment, when the NAS layer or the AS layer requires to resume the suspended RRC connection, and the RRC layer receives an NAS layer instruction, the terminal device in the inactive state starts the corresponding RRM measurement according to the dedicated measurement configuration configured on the network side when the connection is released last time when initiating the connection resumption process. The terminal device may perform the measurement according to the first manner or the second manner, which is not described in detail.

The NAS layer or the AS layer of the terminal device in the inactive state may require to resume the suspended RRC connection, for example, the following cases may be included: the terminal device responds to the RAN page, the terminal device needs to initiate an RNA update procedure, the terminal device has uplink data to send, and so on. The present disclosure is not so limited, but rather encompasses various situations where a terminal device has a need to resume a suspended RRC connection,

in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device reports, to the network side, an indication of whether a measurement result is available for reporting according to a measurement result obtained in an idle state or an inactive state and/or a measurement result obtained by starting a corresponding RRM measurement (or referred to as dedicated measurement) according to a dedicated measurement configuration.

If the terminal equipment only obtains the measurement result in the idle state or the inactive state when reporting the measurement result available indication, the terminal equipment continues to execute the special measurement according to the wireless capability of the terminal equipment after reporting the measurement result available indication until the subsequent network side requires the terminal equipment to report the measurement result. For example, a terminal device supporting MR-DC (Multi-RAT Dual Connectivity) capability usually has multiple radio frequency chains (RF chains), and may use redundant RF chains for inter-frequency measurement without measurement gap (measurement gap) configuration according to needs.

And when the terminal equipment reports the measurement result, judging whether the special measurement result is obtained. If the special measurement result is obtained, reporting the special measurement result and the measurement result obtained in the idle state or the inactive state to the network side; otherwise, the terminal equipment only reports the measurement result obtained in the idle state or the inactive state. If the terminal equipment has already obtained the measurement results of some or all frequency points acquired by dedicated measurement when reporting the available indication of measurement results, the terminal equipment can choose to stop the measurement of the corresponding some or all frequency points after reporting the available indication of measurement results, and only continue the measurement on the frequency points without the measurement results.

The terminal device may send the measurement available indication when sending a connection setup complete or recovery complete message.

For example, the network side configures the terminal device with the dedicated frequency point measurement of { f1, f2, f3} in the connection release message. The terminal device returns to the cell residing on frequency point f3 in the inactive state, and performs measurement on frequency point f1 (for example, the cell reselection frequency point of f1 has a higher priority than f3, or performs measurement on frequency point f1 with a lower priority due to poor signal quality of the serving cell). When the AS layer triggers the connection recovery process, the terminal equipment starts the special measurement on the frequency point f 2. When the RRC recovery complete message is sent, the terminal device reports the measurement result available indication based on the measurement result on the frequency point f1, and at this time, the frequency point f2 still has no available measurement result, and the terminal device continues to perform measurement. The subsequent network side requires the terminal equipment to report the measurement result through the RRC message, and if the time frequency point f2 obtains the measurement result, the measurement result and the measurement result of the frequency point f1 are reported to the network side; otherwise, the terminal equipment only reports the measurement result of the frequency point f 1. If the terminal equipment does not have the measurement result of f2 when the network side requires the terminal equipment to report, whether the subsequent measurement and reporting are continued or not is judged.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a network side configures dedicated measurement for a terminal device according to frequency point deployment and/or CA/DC frequency band combination capability supported by the terminal device when connection is released. The behavior of the terminal device after returning to the idle state or the inactive state follows the cell reselection criterion, and the frequency point of the resident cell may be located in the dedicated configuration measurement frequency point set or may fall outside the dedicated configuration measurement frequency point set. In this example, the CA/DC does not support a common-frequency scenario, and if a cell frequency point (i.e., a serving cell frequency point initiating random access) of the terminal device when accessing the network falls in the dedicated configuration measurement frequency point set, the terminal device may exclude the frequency point of the serving cell when indicating that the dedicated measurement result is available and subsequently reporting the dedicated measurement result. That is, if only the measurement results on the serving cell frequency point, the terminal device may not transmit the dedicated measurement result available indication.

In another example, the network side (for example, for the case of supporting CA or DC between co-frequency cells) indicates whether the terminal device reports the measurement result of the serving cell frequency point in the dedicated measurement configuration, and then the terminal device determines whether to report the neighbor measurement result of the serving cell frequency point according to the indication information.

For example, the network side configures the terminal device with the dedicated frequency point measurement of { f1, f2, f3} in the connection release message, and indicates that the terminal device needs to report the measurement result of the serving cell frequency point when reporting the measurement. The terminal device returns to the cell residing on frequency point f3 in the inactive state, and performs measurement on frequency point f1 (for example, cell reselection frequency point of f1 has higher priority than f3, or measurement is performed on frequency point f1 with lower priority due to poor signal quality of the serving cell). When receiving the paging message of the radio access network, the terminal device starts the dedicated measurement at frequency point f2 and the RRM measurement at frequency point f 3. And when the RRC recovery completion message is sent, the terminal equipment reports the available indication of the measurement result. And the subsequent network side requires the terminal equipment to report the measurement result through the RRC message, and the terminal equipment reports the available measurement results on the frequency points f1, f2 and f3 according to the network indication.

The method disclosed by the embodiment of the invention can start corresponding RRM measurement according to the special measurement configuration of the network side when the RRC connection establishment or the RRC connection recovery is requested to the network side on the premise of not changing the measurement behavior and the power consumption performance of the terminal equipment in the existing idle state and inactive state, and report the measurement result after the connection establishment for the network side to rapidly configure CA or DC, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the throughput of the terminal and network services and simultaneously reducing the energy consumption of the terminal equipment.

Although the foregoing embodiments of the present disclosure provide some exemplary implementation schemes, the present disclosure is not limited to this, for example, in other embodiments, the terminal device may actively report the measurement result instead of reporting after the request of the network side; for another example, the terminal device may directly report the measurement result without reporting the measurement result available indication; for another example, the terminal device may report the measurement result in the idle state or the inactive state and the dedicated measurement result, respectively, and so on.
