Background

Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement and measurement intervals of a connection state terminal device may be configured by a network device, and the terminal device reports a measurement report to the network device.

However, the network side cannot know the moving state of the terminal device in real time, and the terminal device still performs neighbor cell measurement of the same frequency/different system by using a measurement gap (gap) configured on the network side, which may result in that the power saving effect of the terminal device cannot be achieved and the radio resource utilization efficiency and the spectrum efficiency may be affected.

In addition, the character "/" herein generally indicates that the former and latter related objects are in an "or" relationship.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a measurement processing method, which is applied to a terminal device, and as shown in fig. 2, the method includes:

step 21: receiving a first measurement interval parameter and a second measurement interval parameter sent by network equipment;

step 22: in the case of the first measurement interval parameter used by the terminal device, if it is determined that neighbor cell measurement relaxation is performed, one of the following actions is performed: and stopping the measurement of the adjacent cell, or measuring the adjacent cell by adopting the second measurement interval parameter.

Correspondingly, the measurement processing method provided in this embodiment, referring to fig. 3, includes the following steps:

With reference to fig. 4, in the measurement processing method provided in this embodiment, a process of interaction between the terminal device and the network device includes:

Further, the method can also comprise the following steps:

step 44: the method comprises the steps that a terminal device sends indication information to a network device, wherein the indication information is used for indicating the operation of the terminal device for measuring the adjacent cell to the network device; the processing mode for the measurement of the adjacent cell comprises the following steps: stopping the measurement of the adjacent cell, or measuring the adjacent cell by adopting a second measurement interval parameter; the second measurement interval parameter is one of at least two sets of measurement interval parameters, and the second measurement interval parameter is different from the first measurement interval parameter.

Step 45: and the network equipment receives the indication information sent by the terminal equipment.

In this embodiment, the terminal device may be a device in a connected state. That is to say, the scheme provided in this embodiment configures multiple sets of measurement gap (gap) parameters for the terminal device in the connection state for the network device, and the terminal device determines whether to relax the measurement of the neighboring cell according to the self-movement state and the signal receiving condition, and determines which set of measurement gap parameters to use according to whether the measurement of the neighboring cell has the relaxed condition, and further indicates the finally selected parameters to the network.

The network equipment sends a first measurement interval parameter and a second measurement interval parameter; the method specifically comprises the following steps: the network equipment sends at least two sets of measurement interval parameters and a first measurement interval parameter used by the indication terminal equipment to the terminal equipment; wherein the first measurement interval parameter is one of at least two sets of measurement interval parameters.

The at least two sets of measurement interval parameters may only include a first measurement interval parameter and a second measurement interval parameter; or, the at least two sets of measurement interval parameters may further include a first measurement interval parameter, a second measurement interval parameter, and at least one other measurement interval parameter.

The sending of the first measurement interval parameter and the second measurement interval parameter by the second communication unit 61, or the sending of at least two sets of measurement interval parameters and the sending of the first measurement interval parameter used by the terminal device by the network device to the terminal device, may be sending by dedicated signaling, for example, by Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, and of course, may also be sending by other signaling, for example, by DownLink Control Information (DCI), and may also be other Information, which is not exhaustive in this embodiment.

The first measurement interval parameter used by the terminal device may be content included in the instruction for the network device to send the multiple sets of measurement interval parameters, or may be the first measurement interval parameter currently used by the terminal device that is notified by another instruction after the multiple sets of measurement interval parameters are sent by the network device.

The terminal device receives the first measurement interval parameter and the second measurement interval parameter, and can perform measurement based on the first measurement interval parameter. In particular, measurements may be made based on a first measurement interval parameter after a plurality of sets of measurement interval parameters for a network device and the first measurement interval parameter that the network device indicates its use.

The measurement based on the first measurement interval parameter may be understood as performing inter-frequency (inter-frequency) and inter-Radio Access Technology (inter-RAT) neighbor cell measurement based on the first measurement interval parameter. Specifically, the measurement of all services and serving cells may be stopped in the interval corresponding to the first measurement interval parameter. It should also be understood that the measurement may be for different frequencies or different systems, or for same frequency, and the embodiment is not limited.

Wherein, in the plurality of sets of measurement interval parameters, each of the plurality of sets of measurement interval parameters may include at least one of the following: interval length (which may be expressed as mgl), interval repetition period (which may be expressed as mgrp), and interval timing advance (which may be expressed as mgta). Specifically, the value range may be as follows:

mgl { ms1dot5, ms3, ms3dot5, ms4, ms5dot5, ms6}; i.e. the interval length may be 1.5 to 6ms.

mgrp { ms20, ms40, ms80, ms160}, i.e., the interval repetition period may be 20, 40, 80, 160ms.

mgta { ms0, ms0dot25, ms0dot5}, i.e. the interval timing advance can be 0, 0.25, 0.5ms.

Further, in the multiple sets of measurement interval parameters, specific values of interval lengths, interval repetition periods and interval timing advances corresponding to different measurement interval parameters are at least partially different. For example, the first measurement interval parameter may adopt interval length one, interval repetition period one, and interval timing advance one; the third measurement interval parameter may adopt an interval length of two, an interval repetition period of one, and an interval timing advance of two.

Before determining to perform neighbor cell measurement relaxation, it is further required to determine whether to perform neighbor cell measurement relaxation, and the following two ways may be adopted for determination:

judging whether to carry out neighbor cell measurement relaxation or not based on a preset neighbor cell measurement relaxation rule;

alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

and judging whether to carry out measurement relaxation of the adjacent cells or not based on the measured signal quality of the serving cell and a signal quality threshold value.

The preset neighbor cell measurement relaxation rule may be a neighbor cell measurement relaxation mechanism introduced for eMTC and NB-IoT terminal devices in LTE; for example, the measure relaxation mechanism may include at least one of:

when the terminal equipment requests to execute the co-frequency or inter-frequency measurement corresponding to 5.2.4.2 or 5.2.4.2a, the terminal equipment can choose not to execute the co-frequency or inter-frequency measurement under the condition that at least one of the following conditions is met:

satisfying the relaxed measurement monitoring rule required in 5.2.4.12.1 for a certain length of time;

less than 24 hours since the last cell reselection measurement was performed;

after the terminal equipment selects or reselects the cell, the same frequency or different frequency measurement is carried out for a certain time.

And (3) relaxing the measurement monitoring rule, wherein the satisfied condition can be:

(Srxlev _Ref -Srxlev)＜S _SearchDeltaP

wherein, the level value obtained by calculation in the process of Srxlev cell selection/reselection; srxlev _Ref Is a reference value of Srxlev; s _SearchDeltaP A level threshold selected for the blocking unit.

Judging whether to carry out neighbor cell measurement relaxation or not based on the measured serving cell signal quality and a signal quality threshold; the signal quality threshold may be a signal quality threshold configured by the network device, may be obtained by a negotiation between the network device and the terminal device in advance, or may be specified by a protocol, which is not described herein again.

The content of the signal quality threshold may include a first signal threshold and a second signal threshold, which may be represented as a first s-measure and a second s-measure, respectively, for example.

Still further, the reference value for the signal quality may include at least one of: reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR), received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ). Of course, there may be other reference values for evaluating signal quality, which are not exhaustive in this embodiment.

When the signal quality threshold is set, a first signal threshold and a second signal threshold for RSRP may be set, and/or a first signal threshold and a second signal threshold for RSRQ may be set; wherein the first signal threshold value may be less than the second signal threshold value for whichever parameter.

When determining whether to perform neighbor cell measurement relaxation, it may be determined that neighbor cell measurement relaxation is performed when the serving cell signal quality measured by the terminal device is within a signal quality threshold, that is, greater than or equal to a first signal threshold and less than or equal to a second signal threshold.

When it is determined to perform neighbor cell measurement relaxation, it may be determined to select the second measurement interval parameter according to a current situation of measuring signal quality of the serving cell, or a traffic situation, or a network situation, or to stop measurement of the neighbor cell.

The method further comprises one of:

selecting a second measurement interval parameter which has the same interval length as the first measurement interval parameter and has an interval repetition period larger than the repetition period of the first measurement interval parameter from at least two measurement interval parameters; for example, when the signal quality of the current serving cell is greater than the preset threshold, it may be understood that the service condition of the current serving cell is good, and then the neighboring cells may be measured less frequently, and then a measurement interval parameter with a larger interval may be selected by increasing the interval repetition period; or, the current network state or network communication state is better, or the traffic is larger, the measurement on the neighboring cell may be reduced, or a measurement interval parameter with a larger interval repetition period may be selected.

Selecting a second measurement interval parameter which has the same interval repetition period as the first measurement interval parameter and has an interval length smaller than that of the first measurement interval parameter from at least two measurement interval parameters; for example, when the signal quality of the current serving cell is greater than a preset threshold, the interval length may be reduced; or, the current network state or network communication state is better, or the traffic is larger, and the interval length can also be reduced.

Selecting a second measurement interval parameter from the at least two measurement interval parameters, wherein the interval repetition period is greater than that in the first measurement interval parameter, and the interval length is less than that in the first measurement interval parameter.

The at least two measurement interval parameters at least include a second measurement interval parameter and at least one other measurement interval parameter.

Correspondingly, the indication information includes one of the following:

the terminal equipment selects identification information corresponding to the second measurement interval parameter;

the interval length and/or the interval repetition period in the second measurement interval parameter selected by the terminal equipment;

the terminal device stops the measurement of the neighbor cell.

The sending of the indication information to the network device includes one of:

sending indication information to network equipment through RRC signaling;

sending indication information to the network equipment through the MAC CE;

and sending indication information to the network equipment through uplink control information UCI.

Correspondingly, the indication information sent by the receiving terminal device by the network device includes one of the following:

the network equipment receives the indication information sent by the terminal equipment through RRC signaling;

the network equipment receives the indication information sent by the terminal equipment through the MAC CE;

and the network equipment receives the indication information sent by the terminal equipment through the uplink control information UCI.

It should also be understood that the terminal device may perform measurement using the second measurement interval parameter after determining the second measurement interval parameter; correspondingly, after the network device can receive the indication information, the network device correspondingly adjusts the measurement condition of the terminal device recorded by the network device, and receives the measurement report of the terminal device, and the specific processing flow is not repeated.

The following describes how to send and carry the indication information:

case 1, sending indication information to a network device through RRC signaling:

the terminal device indicates the second measurement interval parameter selected by the terminal device to the network through RRC dedicated signaling, for example, the second measurement interval parameter may be specifically an extended ueassistance information message, in which a selected interval gap length and/or an interval gap repetition period are contained, and an example is as follows:

wherein "UEAscistationInformation-v 16xy-IEs" is indicated by the "UEAscistationInformation-v 1540-IEs" field; the measurement interval parameter is indicated to be contained through a field of UEAsistanceInformation-v 16 xy-IEs; the measurement interval parameter selected by the terminal device is specifically indicated by "measgapassistence".

Alternatively, in this case, an index of the selected gap parameter in the parameter list of the network configuration may be indicated in the RRC signaling. Or, indicating to the network to cancel the measurement gap currently in the RRC signaling; for example, an identification bit may be set, and when the identification bit is set to a first value, the measurement interval is cancelled, and the second value is not cancelled; wherein the first value may be 0 and the second value may be 1, or vice versa, which is not exhaustive.

Case 2, sending indication information to the network device through the MAC CE:

similarly, the identification information of the second measurement interval parameter selected by the terminal device may be set in the MAC CE; it should be noted that the identification information about the multiple sets of measurement interval parameters may be sent simultaneously when the network device sends the measurement interval parameters, that is, may be obtained from RRC dedicated signaling. For example, referring to fig. 5, the position of adding the identification information of the second measurement interval parameter in the MAC CE may be as shown in the figure.

Still alternatively, the MAC CE may further include an interval length and an interval repetition period selected by the terminal device, as shown in fig. 6, where the interval length and the position of the interval repetition period are shown in the figure. It should be further noted that fig. 6 illustrates a MAC CE including both an interval length and an interval repetition period, and in fact, the MAC CE may include only an interval length or only an interval repetition period, and when only one of the items is included, all bits in the corresponding field of the other item may be set to 1 or 0, which is not exhaustive here.

Still alternatively, the stopping interval test may be indicated in the MAC CE, for example, see fig. 7, where the UE disable gap is used to instruct the terminal device to stop the interval measurement to the neighbor cell.

Case 3, sending indication information to network equipment through uplink control information UCI,

Specifically, the UCI bit in the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) may indicate the identifier information of the second measurement interval parameter selected for the network terminal device, or the interval length and/or the interval repetition period of the second measurement interval parameter, or indicate the terminal device to stop the interval measurement of the neighboring cell to the network device.

Therefore, by adopting the scheme, the terminal equipment can acquire a plurality of sets of measurement interval parameters, and when the terminal equipment determines to perform relaxation measurement, the measurement of the adjacent cell is selected to be stopped, or the second measurement interval parameter is adopted to measure the adjacent cell, and the mode selected by the terminal equipment is indicated to the network equipment, so that the terminal equipment can control whether to perform relaxation measurement, the measurement power consumption of the terminal equipment is saved, and the scheduling efficiency and the resource utilization rate of the network are improved.

The present embodiment further provides a terminal device, as shown in fig. 8, including:

a first communication unit 51, configured to receive a first measurement interval parameter and a second measurement interval parameter sent by a network device;

the first processing unit 52, in case of the first measurement interval parameter used, if it is determined that neighbor cell measurement relaxation is made, performs one of the following actions: and stopping the measurement of the adjacent cell, or measuring the adjacent cell by adopting the second measurement interval parameter.

The first communication unit 51 sends indication information to a network device, where the indication information is used to indicate, to the network device, an operation of the terminal device for neighbor cell measurement;

wherein the operation of measuring for the neighbor cell comprises: stopping the measurement of the adjacent cell, or measuring the adjacent cell by adopting a second measurement interval parameter; the second measurement interval parameter is one of at least two sets of measurement interval parameters, and the second measurement interval parameter is different from the first measurement interval parameter.

The present embodiment further provides a network device, as shown in fig. 9, including:

the second communication unit 61 transmits the first measurement interval parameter and the second measurement interval parameter to the terminal device.

The second communication unit 61 receives indication information sent by a terminal device, wherein the indication information is used for indicating the operation of the terminal device for the measurement of the adjacent cell to a network device; wherein the operation of measuring for the neighbor cell comprises: and stopping the measurement of the adjacent cell, or measuring the adjacent cell by adopting the second measurement interval parameter.

The second communication unit 61 of the network device sends the first measurement interval parameter and the second measurement interval parameter; the method specifically comprises the following steps: the second communication unit 61 sends at least two sets of measurement interval parameters and a first measurement interval parameter indicating the use of the terminal equipment to the terminal equipment; wherein the first measurement interval parameter is one of at least two sets of measurement interval parameters.

The network device sends the first measurement interval parameter and the second measurement interval parameter, or the network device sends at least two sets of measurement interval parameters to the terminal device, and the first measurement interval parameter indicates the terminal device to use, both of which are sent through a dedicated signaling, for example, the first measurement interval parameter may be sent through a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling for the second communication unit 61, and of course, the first measurement interval parameter may also be sent through other signaling, for example, downLink Control Information (DCI), or other Information, which is not exhaustive in this embodiment.

The first measurement interval parameter used by the terminal device may be content included in the instruction for the network device to send the multiple sets of measurement interval parameters, or may be the first measurement interval parameter currently used by the terminal device that is notified by another instruction after the second communication unit 61 sends the multiple sets of measurement interval parameters.

After receiving the first measurement interval parameter and the second measurement interval parameter, the terminal device first communication unit 51 may perform measurement based on the first measurement interval parameter.

Before the first processing unit 52 determines to perform neighbor cell measurement relaxation, it needs to determine whether to perform neighbor cell measurement relaxation, and the following two ways may be used for determination:

the first processing unit 52 determines whether to perform neighbor cell measurement relaxation based on a preset neighbor cell measurement relaxation rule;

alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

the first processing unit 52 determines whether to perform neighbor cell measurement relaxation based on the measured serving cell signal quality and the signal quality threshold.

The first processing unit 52 may further perform operations including one of:

selecting a second measurement interval parameter which has the same interval length as the first measurement interval parameter and has an interval repetition period larger than the repetition period of the first measurement interval parameter from at least two measurement interval parameters; for example, when the signal quality of the current serving cell is greater than the preset threshold, it can be understood that the service condition of the current serving cell is good, and then the neighboring cells can be measured less, and then the measurement interval parameter with a larger interval can be selected by increasing the interval repetition period; or, the current network state or network communication state is better, or the traffic is larger, the measurement to the neighboring cell may be reduced, or the measurement interval parameter with a larger interval repetition period may be selected.

Correspondingly, the indication information includes one of the following:

the terminal device stops the measurement of the neighbor cell.

The first communication unit 51 sends indication information to the network device, including one of:

sending indication information to network equipment through RRC signaling;

sending indication information to the network equipment through the MAC CE;

Correspondingly, the second communication unit 61 of the network device receives the indication information sent by the terminal device, and the indication information includes one of the following:

the second communication unit 61 receives the indication information sent by the terminal equipment through RRC signaling;

the second communication unit 61 receives the instruction information sent by the terminal equipment through the MAC CE;

the second communication unit 61 receives the indication information sent by the terminal device through the uplink control information UCI.

It should be noted that the specific processing executed by each unit of the terminal device and the network device is the same as the processing provided in the foregoing method flow, and therefore is not described in detail again.

Therefore, by adopting the scheme, the terminal equipment can acquire a plurality of sets of measurement interval parameters, and when the terminal equipment determines to perform relaxation measurement, the measurement of the adjacent cell is selected to be stopped, or the adjacent cell is measured by adopting the second measurement interval parameter, and the mode selected by the terminal equipment is indicated to the network equipment, so that the terminal equipment can control whether to perform relaxation measurement, thereby saving the measurement power consumption of the terminal equipment and improving the scheduling efficiency and the resource utilization rate of the network.
