Description

Frequency point measuring method and related product

Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a frequency point measuring method and related products.

Background

In a New Radio (NR) or long term evolution (long term evolution, LTE) radio technology, for a terminal device supporting carrier aggregation (carrier aggregation, CA)/Dual Connection (DC), when the terminal device leaves a Connection state and enters an idle state, an advanced measurement mechanism is introduced in order to accelerate an addition procedure of CA/DC when subsequently entering the Connection state.

In the advanced measurement mechanism, when the terminal device is in an idle state, frequency points configured by the network device are periodically measured, and when the terminal device is switched from the idle state to a connection state, a measurement result is reported to the network device, so that the network device determines whether to add CA/DC (CA/DC) to the terminal device according to the measurement result, namely, adding a secondary cell (Scell) or a secondary cell group (secondary cell group, SCG) to the terminal device. In general, the terminal device measures one frequency point every discontinuous reception (discontinuous reception, DRX) cycle, and centrally measures the frequency points configured by the network device during the time when the screen of the terminal device is lit up to enter a connected state.

In the case where the number of frequency points configured by the network device is large, the period of frequency point measurement becomes long, and all frequency points may not be measured in the time from when the screen is lit up to when the screen enters a connected state, resulting in low data validity in the measurement result.

The technical scheme of the embodiment of the application can be applied to various communication systems, such as: LTE system, universal mobile telecommunications system (universal mobile telecommunication system, UMTS), fifth generation (5th generation,5G) system, NR, and other new systems that emerge with the development of technology, and the like. A communication system to which the technical solution according to the embodiment of the present application is applied is described by way of example with reference to fig. 1.

As shown in fig. 1, a communication system to which the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is applied may include a terminal device 101 and a network device 102.

The terminal device 101 may be an electronic device having wireless transceiving capability and having access to the internet. The terminal device may also be referred to as a User Equipment (UE), terminal, access terminal, subscriber unit, subscriber station, mobile station, remote terminal, mobile device, user terminal, wireless communication device, user agent, or user equipment, for example. The terminal device may be a Mobile Station (MS), a subscriber unit (subscriber unit), an unmanned aerial vehicle, an internet of things (internet of things, ioT) device, a Station (ST) in a wireless local area network (wireless local areanetworks, WLAN), a cellular phone (cellular phone), a smart phone (smart phone), a cordless phone, a wireless data card, a tablet, a session initiation protocol (session initiationprotocol) phone, a wireless local loop (wireless local loop, WLL) station, a personal digital processing (personal digital assistant, PDA) device, a laptop (machine type communication, MTC) terminal, a handheld device with wireless communication capabilities, a computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device (which may also be referred to as a wearable smart device). The terminal device may also be a terminal device in a next generation communication system, for example, a terminal device in a 5G system or a terminal device in a future evolved public land mobile network (public land mobile network, PLMN), a terminal device in a New Radio (NR) system, or the like.

Network device 102 may be a device that communicates with terminal device 101. Network device 102 may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area and may communicate with terminal devices located within the coverage area. The network device 102 may be a base station in particular. The base station may include various forms of base stations, such as: macro base stations, micro base stations (also referred to as small stations), relay stations, access points, and the like. The method specifically comprises the following steps: an Access Point (AP) in a wireless local area network (wireless local area network, WLAN), a base station (base transceiver station, BTS) in a global system for mobile communications (global system for mobile communications, GSM) or code division multiple access (code division multiple access, CDMA), a base station (NodeB, NB) in wideband code division multiple access (wideband code division multiple access, WCDMA), an Evolved base station (eNB or eNodeB) in LTE, a relay station or access point, a vehicle device, a wearable device, a next generation Node B (the next generation Node B, gNB) in a 5G system, a base station in a future Evolved public land mobile network (public land mobile network, PLMN) network, or the like.

In an embodiment of the present application, the network device 102 serves a cell, and the terminal device 101 communicates with the network device 102 through transmission resources (e.g., frequency domain resources, or spectrum resources) used by the cell. A radio resource control (radio resource control, RRC) connection may be established between the network device 102 and the terminal device 101. The switching of the RRC state of the terminal device 101 is controlled by the network device 102. The terminal device 101 in the RRC connected state (rrc_ CINNECTED) releases the RRC connection after receiving an RRC release (RRCRelease) message sent by the network device 102, and proceeds from the connected state to the IDLE state (rrc_idle). The terminal device 101 in the RRC idle state may send an RRC connection resume request (rrcruumerequest) message to the network device 102, and the network device 102 may send an RRC resume (rrcruume) message to the terminal device 101 after receiving the rrcruumerequest message, where the RRC resume message may include information that the network device 102 allocates resources for the terminal device 101. The terminal device reconfigures the radio resource according to the RRC restoration message and enters the connection state from the idle state.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flow chart of a frequency point measurement method according to an embodiment of the application. The frequency point measurement method may be applied to a CA scenario and a DC scenario, as shown in fig. 2, where the terminal device sends an RRC restoration request (rrcresemerequest) to the network device, and the network device sends an RRC restoration (rrcreseme) message to the terminal device, where the RRC restoration message may include information that the network device allocates resources for the terminal device. The terminal device reconfigures the radio resources according to the RRC restore message, enters a connected state from an idle state, and transmits an RRC restore complete (rrcrumecomplete) message to the network device. After the terminal equipment enters the connection state from the idle state, configuration information of the network equipment is received, wherein the configuration information comprises information of at least one frequency point. The configuration information may specifically be measConfig. The terminal device stores at least one frequency point information in the configuration information, and periodically measures the at least one frequency point to generate a measurement result (MeasurementReport). Reporting conditions of the measurement result are also configured in the configuration information, and when the measurement result meets the reporting conditions of the configuration information configuration, the terminal equipment reports the generated measurement result to the network equipment. And the network equipment decides whether to add CA/DC for the terminal equipment according to the measurement result reported by the terminal equipment.

When the terminal equipment enters an idle state from a connection state, an advanced measurement mechanism is introduced in order to accelerate the CA/DC adding process when the terminal equipment subsequently enters the connection state. Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flow chart of another frequency point measurement method according to an embodiment of the application.

As shown in fig. 3, the network device sends an RRC release message to the terminal device, and the terminal device enters an idle state from a connected state after receiving the RRC release message. The RRC release (RRCRelease) message sent by the network device includes configuration information, where the configuration information includes information of at least one frequency point, that is, an advanced measurement report frequency point (EMR frequency). The configuration information is used for indicating the terminal equipment to measure the at least one frequency point in an idle state. And after the terminal equipment enters an idle state from a connection state, the terminal equipment periodically measures the at least one frequency point to obtain a measurement result. For example, when the terminal device needs to enter the connected state, the terminal device sends an RRC resume request to the network device, and the network device sends an RRC resume message to the terminal device, where the RRC resume message may include information that the network device allocates resources for the terminal device. The terminal device reconfigures the radio resource according to the RRC restoration message and enters the connection state from the idle state. When the terminal device enters the connection state from the idle state, the terminal device reports the obtained measurement result to the network device through an information element (information element, IE) in the RRC recovery completion message, wherein the information element can be specifically a measureResult. After the network device receives the measurement result, it decides whether to add CA/DC for the terminal device according to the measurement result.

In the frequency point measurement method shown in fig. 3, if the terminal device measures the at least one frequency point too frequently, the energy consumption of the terminal device in the idle state is increased, which is not beneficial to the power saving performance of the terminal device. If the terminal device performs measurement on the at least one frequency point in an excessively sparse manner, when the terminal device enters a connection state from an idle state, a measurement result of a part of frequency points in the reported measurement results may be a historical measurement result measured in a time far away from the current time, and the measurement result cannot accurately reflect information such as signal strength and signal quality of the frequency point at the current time, so that the measurement result has low effectiveness, and may cause the network device to erroneously add CA/DC to the terminal device.

In some embodiments, the period of the terminal device for measuring the at least one frequency point is the same as the measurement period of the neighboring cell frequency point.

Illustratively, when Srxlev is less than or equal to S _{nonIntraSearchP} Or square is less than or equal to S _{nonIntraSearchQ} When the terminal device should search and measure inter-frequency high priority neighbor cells, inter-frequency same priority neighbor cells and inter-frequency low priority neighbor cells in order to prepare for possible cell reselection. Wherein Srxlev is a cell selection reception level value (Rx level value) of a serving cell of the terminal device, i.e. a reception power of the serving cell. The square is the received signal quality value of the serving cell, S _{nonIntraSearchP} Receiving level value S of pilot frequency trigger threshold for cell reselection _{nonIntraSearchQ} The received signal quality value of the trigger threshold for the inter-frequency measurement of cell reselection, S _{nonIntraSearchP} And S is _{nonIntraSearchQ} Set by the third generation partnership project (3rd generation partnership project,3GPP) protocol. In this case, the measurement period of the at least one frequency point is the same as the measurement period of the high-priority EUTRAN inter-frequency neighbor or the high-priority NR inter-frequency neighbor, which is specified by the 3GPP protocol.

When Srxlev>S _{nonIntraSearchP} And square>S _{nonIntraSearchQ} And periodically searching the high-priority frequency points by the terminal equipment. In this case, the measurement period of the terminal device for the at least one frequency point is the same as the search period of the high priority frequency point, wherein the search period of the high priority frequency point is specified by the 3GPP protocol.

The measurement period of the high-priority NR inter-frequency neighbor and the search period of the priority frequency point are determined according to the discontinuous reception (discontinuous reception, DRX) period. The terminal device periodically measures at least one frequency point, which may specifically be: and measuring one frequency point in the at least one frequency point in each DRX period in sequence.

In one embodiment, when the screen of the terminal device is lighted, the at least one frequency point is measured in a centralized manner.

For example, the centralized measurement may be understood as measuring the at least one frequency point within a minimum time within the capability of the terminal device, i.e. the terminal device measures the next frequency point immediately after completing one frequency point measurement. And the terminal equipment centrally measures the at least one frequency point in the time from the screen lighting moment of the terminal equipment to the establishment of the RRC connection (namely, the terminal equipment enters a connection state). Under the condition that the number of at least one frequency point is small, the measurement of the at least one frequency point is completed from the moment when the screen of the terminal equipment is lightened to the moment when the terminal equipment enters a connection state, so that the reported measurement result contains the latest measurement result of the at least one frequency point, and the effectiveness of the measurement result is improved.

The measurement process of the terminal device for the at least one frequency point is shown in fig. 4, taking the number of the at least one frequency point as 3 as an example, after the terminal device enters an idle state, one frequency point is measured in a sleep period of each DRX cycle, and in fig. 4, PO is a Paging Occasion (PO). In a first discontinuous reception cycle (DRX cycle 1), measuring a frequency point F1; in a second discontinuous reception cycle (DRX cycle 2), measuring a frequency point F2; in the third discontinuous reception cycle (DRX cycle 3), the frequency point F3 is measured. The at least one frequency point is centrally measured in a period (T in fig. 4) from the screen lighting time to the RRC connection setup time.

In the frequency point measurement method shown in fig. 3, when the number of the at least one frequency point is large, the measurement period of each frequency point is long, and all the frequency points in the at least one frequency point cannot be measured in the time from the moment of lighting the screen of the terminal device to the moment that the terminal device enters the connection state, so that the reported measurement result is poor in effectiveness, and CA/DC may be added erroneously.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a flowchart of another frequency point measurement method according to an embodiment of the present application. In order to improve the effectiveness of the measurement result, another frequency point measurement method is provided in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 5, and the frequency point measurement method includes, but is not limited to, the following steps.

501, the terminal device receives configuration information sent by the network device, where the configuration information includes information of at least one frequency point.

The above configuration information is illustratively contained in an RRC release message. The network device sends an RRC release message to the terminal device, so that the terminal device releases the RRC connection and enters an idle state. The configuration information may be contained in an IE of the RRC release message, which may be specifically measidleirierliistnr/measidleirierliisteutra. The configuration information includes information of at least one frequency point, and is used for indicating the terminal equipment to measure the at least one frequency point in an idle state.

502, under the idle state of the terminal equipment, measuring the at least one frequency point according to the order of priority from high to low, and obtaining a measurement result.

And the terminal equipment enters an idle state after receiving the RRC release message sent by the network equipment. And in the idle state, the terminal equipment measures the at least one frequency point according to the order of the priority from high to low. The terminal device measures the reference signal received power (reference signal receiving power, RSRP) and the reference signal received quality (reference signal receiving quality, RSRQ) for each frequency point to obtain a measurement result.

The at least one frequency point is measured in an idle state of the terminal device, and a measurement result is obtained. And when the connection state is entered, reporting the measurement result to the network equipment so that the network equipment can decide whether to add the CA/DC according to the measurement result. For example, in the case that the traffic demand of the terminal device is large, the network device adds CA/DC to the terminal device, that is, adds a secondary cell or a secondary cell group to the terminal device, so as to meet the traffic demand of the terminal device. And the network equipment determines a proper cell according to the measurement result of the frequency point measurement reported by the terminal equipment, and adds the cell as a secondary cell of the terminal equipment. The suitable cells may be cells with RSRP and RSRQ higher than the threshold in the measurement results of the corresponding frequency points. It can be appreciated that the higher the priority of the at least one frequency point, the greater the likelihood that the corresponding cell is successfully added as a secondary cell of the terminal device. And under the condition that the terminal equipment enters the idle state for a short time and can not measure all the frequency points of the at least one frequency point in the idle state, the frequency point with high priority is preferentially measured, the reported measurement result is ensured to comprise the measurement result of the frequency point with high priority, and the success rate of the subsequent CA/DC addition possibly performed is ensured.

In one embodiment, in the step 502, the measuring the at least one frequency point in order of priority from high to low includes at least one of the following steps:

(11) And the terminal equipment performs centralized measurement on the at least one frequency point according to the order of priority from high to low at the moment of entering the idle state.

The above centralized measurement may be understood as, for example, a measurement of the above at least one frequency point being completed in a shortest time within the capabilities of the terminal device. When the terminal equipment enters an idle state, the at least one frequency point is measured. After finishing the centralized measurement of the at least one frequency point, the terminal device periodically measures each frequency point in the at least one frequency point, which may specifically be: and the terminal equipment sequentially measures one frequency point in the at least one frequency point according to the priority order in each DRX period. For example, the at least one frequency point includes F1, F2, and F3, and the priority order of the at least one frequency point is F2, F1, and F3, and the terminal device measures F2 in the first DRX cycle, measures F1 in the second DRX cycle, and measures F3 in the third DRX cycle. When the terminal equipment enters an idle state, the terminal equipment firstly performs centralized measurement on the at least one frequency point, so that the measurement result obtained by the terminal equipment contains the measurement result of each frequency point in the at least one frequency point, and the integrity of the measurement result is ensured.

(12) In a second time period, the terminal equipment periodically measures the at least one frequency point according to the order of priority from high to low; the measurement period of the at least one frequency point is determined by the discontinuous reception period.

When the terminal device enters an idle state, the terminal device performs centralized measurement on the at least one frequency point according to a priority order. The starting time of the second period may be a centralized measurement completion time. And after the terminal equipment completes the centralized measurement, periodically measuring the at least one frequency point according to the order of priority from high to low. The measurement period of the at least one frequency point is determined by discontinuous reception period DRX, specifically: one frequency point is measured during sleep (sleep) of one DRX cycle.

In an embodiment, the starting time of the second period may be a time when the terminal device performs the idle state. And when the terminal equipment enters an idle state, the terminal equipment periodically measures the at least one frequency point according to the order of the priority from high to low.

(13) The terminal equipment does not measure a third frequency point in the first time period, wherein the third frequency point is a frequency point with a time interval between the latest historical measurement time in the at least one frequency point and the screen lighting time smaller than a first threshold value; the screen lighting time is a starting time of the first period.

The starting time of the first period is, for example, the screen lighting time of the terminal device, and the ending time of the first period is the RRC connection establishment time, that is, the time when the terminal device enters the connection state. The above-mentioned first threshold may be set by the terminal device, for example, the first threshold may be set to 0.1 seconds.

In an exemplary embodiment, the terminal device determines, at the screen lighting time, a historical latest measurement time of each frequency point in the at least one frequency point in the measurement result before the screen lighting time, and if a third frequency point exists in the at least one frequency point, the third frequency point is a frequency point in which a time interval between the historical latest measurement time and the screen lighting time is smaller than the first threshold, which indicates that a measurement result of the third frequency point included in the measurement result before the screen lighting time is valid, the terminal device does not process the third frequency point in the first time period. And under the condition that a third frequency point exists in the at least one frequency point, the terminal equipment measures the rest frequency points except the third frequency point in the at least one frequency point according to the order of priority from high to low in the first time period. And under the condition that a third frequency point does not exist in the at least one frequency point, the terminal equipment measures the at least one frequency point according to the order of the priority from high to low.

The terminal device determines, at the screen lighting time, a frequency point of which the history of the latest measurement time is closest to the screen lighting time in the measurement result of the screen lighting time. If the time interval between the historical latest measurement time of the frequency point and the screen lighting time is smaller than the first threshold, the frequency point is not measured in the first time period, and the terminal equipment measures the rest frequency points except the frequency point in the at least one frequency point according to the order of priority from high to low. If the time interval between the historical latest measurement time of the frequency point and the screen lighting time is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, the terminal equipment measures the at least one frequency point according to the order of priority from high to low.

In the embodiment of the present application, the starting time of the first period is the screen lighting time, and the ending time of the first period is the time when the terminal device enters the connection state. The third frequency point is a frequency point with a time interval between the historical latest measurement time and the screen lighting time in the at least one frequency point being smaller than a first threshold value, the historical measurement result of the third frequency point is high in effectiveness, and the terminal equipment does not need to measure the third frequency point in the first time period. And when the number of the at least one frequency point is large, measuring the rest frequency points according to the priority order in the first time period, and improving the effectiveness of a measurement result.

The measurement procedure of the terminal device for the at least one frequency point is illustrated in fig. 6. In fig. 6, the procedure of measuring frequency points by the terminal device is described taking 6 frequency points as an example, where the priority order of 6 frequency points is F2, F5, F6, F1, F3, and F4 (F1, F3, and F4 are not shown in fig. 6). As shown in fig. 6, the terminal device performs centralized measurement on 6 frequency points at the moment of entering the idle state, so as to obtain a measurement result of each frequency point. Then, measurements are performed on F2, F5, F6, F1, F3, F4 in sequence during the sleep period of each DRX cycle, i.e. measurement F2 during the sleep period of DRX cycle 1, measurement F5 during the sleep period of DRX cycle 2, measurement F6 during the sleep period of DRX cycle 3, and measurement procedures of F1, F3, F4 are not shown in fig. 6. At the screen lighting time of the terminal device, a frequency point in the history measurement result, at which the time interval between the latest measurement time and the screen lighting time is the smallest, is determined, i.e., F5 in fig. 6. If the time interval between the latest measurement time of F5 and the screen lighting time is smaller than a first threshold value, F5 is not measured in the period of T, and the rest 5 frequency points are measured in a concentrated manner according to the priority order; and if the time interval between the latest measurement time of F5 and the screen lighting time is not smaller than the first threshold value, carrying out centralized measurement on the 6 frequency points according to the priority order in the T time period. The first threshold may take 0.1 second, where the start time of the T period is the screen lighting time, and the end time of the T period is the RRC connection establishment time. After the RRC connection is established, the terminal device enters a connection state, and reports the obtained measurement result to the network device through an rrcresmeecomplete message. The measurement results include the latest measurement results of the frequency points, and illustratively include measurement results of the frequency points measured in the T time period and historical measurement results of the rest frequency points which are not measured in the T time period.

Some possible examples of determining the priority of the at least one frequency point are presented below.

Example one:

the priority of the at least one frequency point is determined by a history record of the secondary cell added by the network device for the terminal device, and the history record comprises at least one of adding time, adding duration and adding times.

For example, the priority of each of the at least one frequency point may be determined by a history of its corresponding cell being added as a secondary cell of the terminal device. The history of the secondary cells to which the cells are added as terminal devices may include at least one of an addition time, an addition duration, and the number of additions.

When the history record includes the addition time, determining a priority of the at least one frequency point by a last historical addition time of a cell corresponding to the at least one frequency point; the frequency point with smaller time difference between the historical latest adding time and the current time has higher priority. The smaller the time difference between the time of the cell added as the auxiliary cell of the terminal equipment and the current time, the greater the possibility that the cell is added as the auxiliary cell of the terminal equipment, the higher the priority of the corresponding frequency point, the measurement of the frequency point is preferentially carried out, the obtained measurement result is ensured to contain the measurement result of the frequency point, and the success rate of the auxiliary cell addition is improved.

When the history record includes an addition duration, the priority of the at least one frequency point is determined by the history addition duration of the cell corresponding to the at least one frequency point; wherein, the longer the history adding time length is, the higher the priority is.

In the case that the history record includes the number of times of addition, the priority of the at least one frequency point is determined by the number of times of addition of the history of its corresponding cell. Wherein, the more the historical addition times, the higher the priority.

And under the condition that the history record comprises the adding time, the adding duration and the adding times, determining the priority of the frequency point by combining the latest historical adding time, the historical adding duration and the historical adding times of the cell corresponding to the frequency point. Illustratively, weights are respectively set for the above-mentioned historical latest addition time, the historical addition duration and the historical addition times, and the priority of the frequency point is determined by the weighted summation result of the above-mentioned historical latest addition time, the historical addition duration and the historical addition times of the corresponding cell.

In some implementations, the at least one frequency bin is arranged in a historical frequency bin table according to a priority order. The history frequency point table is used for recording frequency points corresponding to auxiliary cells added in the history of the terminal equipment. At least one of the adding time, the adding duration and the adding times of the cell corresponding to the frequency point can be recorded in the history frequency point table. Each frequency point in the history frequency point table is arranged according to the priority order, and the terminal equipment can determine the priority of the at least one frequency point according to the position of the at least one frequency point in the history frequency point table.

In some implementations, the history frequency point table is updated in a case that the network device adds the first secondary cell to the terminal device. In an exemplary embodiment, when the history frequency point table includes a frequency point corresponding to the first secondary cell, the priority of the frequency point is recalculated, and the position of the frequency point is updated in the history frequency point table. And writing the frequency point into the history frequency point table under the condition that the history frequency point table does not contain the frequency point corresponding to the first auxiliary cell.

In one implementation, the priority of the frequency points is determined by the adding time of the corresponding cell, the frequency points in the history frequency point table are arranged according to the order of the priority from high to low, and after the terminal equipment is added with the first auxiliary cell, the frequency points corresponding to the first auxiliary cell are written into the first bit of the history frequency point table. It can be appreciated that, in the case that the frequency point corresponding to the first secondary cell is the first bit in the history frequency point table, the history frequency point table does not need to be updated.

In the embodiment of the application, the priority of the frequency point is determined according to the history record of the auxiliary cell added to the terminal equipment according to the history of the network equipment. The smaller the time difference between the adding time of the secondary cell of which the cell history is added as the terminal device and the current time, the higher the success rate of the secondary cell of which the cell is added as the terminal device, and the higher the priority of the corresponding frequency point. The longer the cell history is added as the secondary cell of the terminal device, the higher the success rate of the secondary cell of the terminal device, and the higher the priority of the corresponding frequency point. The more times the cell history is added as the secondary cell of the terminal device, the higher the success rate of the secondary cell of the terminal device, and the higher the priority of the corresponding frequency point. The priority of the frequency points is determined according to the history record of the auxiliary cell added by the network equipment for the terminal equipment, when the terminal equipment enters the idle state for a short time and can not measure all the frequency points of at least one frequency point in the idle state, the frequency point with high priority is preferentially measured, the reported measurement result is ensured to comprise the measurement result of the frequency point with high priority, and the success rate of the CA/DC addition possibly performed in the follow-up is ensured.

Example two:

the configuration information carries priority level information of the at least one frequency point, and the priority of the at least one frequency point is determined by the priority level information.

The configuration information sent by the network device may also include priority level information of the at least one frequency point. For example, the RRC release message sent by the network device includes at least one IE, where each IE in the at least one IE is used to indicate a priority level of each frequency point in the at least one frequency point. The terminal device may determine the priority order of the at least one frequency point according to the at least one IE, and measure the at least one frequency point according to the order of the priority from high to low.

In one embodiment, when a first frequency point and a second frequency point having the same priority level exist in the at least one frequency point, the priorities of the first frequency point and the second frequency point are determined by the historic latest addition time of the cell corresponding to the first frequency point and the second frequency point, and the priorities of the frequency points are higher as the time difference between the historic latest addition time and the current time is smaller. Illustratively, the adding time of the cells corresponding to the first frequency point and the second frequency point is embodied in a history frequency point table, for example, the first frequency point and the second frequency point are arranged in the history frequency point table according to the order of the last adding time of the history. Under the condition that the at least one frequency point comprises the first frequency point and the second frequency point with the same priority level, the terminal equipment determines the priorities of the first frequency point and the second frequency point according to the positions of the first frequency point and the second frequency point in the history frequency point table.

It can be understood that, in the case that the first frequency point and the second frequency point with the same priority level exist in the at least one frequency point, the priority order of the first frequency point and the second frequency point may also be determined according to the historical adding duration and the historical adding times of the cells corresponding to the first frequency point and the second frequency point.

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a flow chart of another frequency point measurement method according to an embodiment of the present application, which can also be understood as a supplement or modification of the frequency point measurement method in fig. 5. As shown in fig. 7, the frequency point measurement method includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

701, the network device adds CA/DC for the terminal device. The terminal equipment is in a connection state, and the terminal equipment and the network equipment can interact based on RRC connection to complete a CA/DC adding process, namely the network equipment adds an auxiliary cell or an auxiliary cell group for the terminal equipment.

And 702, updating a history frequency point table.

The history frequency point table is used for recording frequency points corresponding to secondary cells which are successfully added in the history of the terminal equipment. Each frequency point in the history frequency point table is arranged according to the order of the priority of the frequency points from high to low, and the higher the priority of the frequency point is, the earlier the position of the frequency point in the history frequency point table is.

The priority of the frequency point in the history frequency point table is determined by the adding time of the corresponding cell, wherein the smaller the time difference between the history latest adding time and the current time of the cell corresponding to the frequency point is, the higher the priority is. The frequency points in the history frequency point table are arranged according to the sequence of the adding time of the corresponding cell, wherein the frequency points with smaller time difference between the latest historical adding time and the current time are arranged at the front of the position of the history frequency point table. After the network device adds the auxiliary cell or the auxiliary cell group for the terminal device, the terminal device updates the position of each frequency point in the history frequency point table, so that the frequency point corresponding to the newly added cell is arranged at the first position in the history frequency point table. If the frequency point corresponding to the cell added by the network device for the terminal device is arranged in the first bit in the history frequency point table, the history frequency point table may not be updated.

The above-mentioned history frequency point table may also include, for example, a radio access technology (radio access technology, RAT) and a time stamp (timestamp) of the secondary cell newly added by the network device for the terminal device.

The network device sends 703 an RRCRelease message to the terminal device. And after receiving the RRCRelease message, the terminal equipment releases the RRC connection and enters an idle state from a connection state. Wherein, the RRCRelease message includes an IE: measIdleCarrierListNR/measIdleCarrierListEUTRA, which configures the frequency points that the terminal device needs to measure in the idle state, i.e., the EMR frequency points.

And 704, the terminal equipment orders the EMR frequency points according to the order of the priority from high to low to obtain the ordered frequency points.

Illustratively, the terminal device ranks the EMR frequency points according to the positions of the frequency points in the history frequency point table, so as to obtain a ranked order. For example, as shown in fig. 8, the EMR frequency points include F1, F2, F3, F4, F5 and F6, the frequency point arrangement sequence in the history frequency point table is F5, F2 and F6, and after the terminal device ranks the EMR frequency points according to the positions of the frequency points in the history frequency points, the obtained ranked frequency points are F5, F2, F6, F1, F3 and F4.

And 705, the terminal equipment sequentially measures the ordered frequency points to obtain a measurement result.

The specific implementation of step 705 is described in reference to step 502, and will not be described herein.

706, the terminal device sends a RRCResumeRequest message to the network device.

Illustratively, when the terminal device initiates a new service and there is data to send, the terminal device resumes the previous RRC connection by sending an RRCResumeRequest message to the network device.

707, the network device returns an rrcrenude message to the terminal device.

After receiving the RRCResumeRequest message, the network device replies the RRCResume message to the terminal device, recovers the RRC connection with the terminal device, and requests the terminal device to report the measurement result of the EMR frequency point.

The terminal device sends 708 a rrcrusmeecomplete message to the network device. The terminal device reconfigures the radio resource according to the RRCResume message, enters a connection state from an idle state, and sends the RRCResume complete message to the network device. The rrcresceneCommple message contains the measurement result, and the terminal device sends the measurement result of the EMR frequency point to the network device through the rrcresceneCommple message.

709, the network device decides whether to add CA/DC according to the measurement result. If the network equipment adds CA/DC for the terminal equipment, the history frequency point table is updated.

In an exemplary case where the traffic demand of the terminal device is large, the network device adds CA/DC to the terminal device, that is, adds a secondary cell or a secondary cell group to the terminal device, so as to satisfy the traffic demand of the terminal device. And the network equipment determines a proper cell according to the measurement result of the frequency point measurement reported by the terminal equipment, and adds the cell as a secondary cell of the terminal equipment. The suitable cells may be cells with RSRP and RSRQ higher than the threshold in the measurement results of the corresponding frequency points.

In the embodiment of the application, the configuration information sent by the network equipment contains information of the EMR frequency point, which is used for indicating the terminal equipment to measure the EMR frequency point in an idle state. After receiving the configuration information sent by the network equipment, the terminal equipment enters an idle state, sequences EMR frequency points according to the order of priority from high to low in the idle state to obtain the sequenced frequency points, and then measures the sequenced frequency points according to the order. The frequency points with high priority are preferentially measured, and the obtained measurement results are guaranteed to contain the measurement results of the frequency points with high priority, so that the effectiveness of the measurement results is improved. And under the condition that the terminal equipment enters the idle state for a short time and can not measure all the frequency points of the at least one frequency point in the idle state, the frequency point with high priority is preferentially measured, the reported measurement result is ensured to comprise the measurement result of the frequency point with high priority, and the success rate of the subsequent CA/DC addition possibly performed is ensured.

The smaller the time difference between the adding time of the secondary cell of which the cell history is added as the terminal device and the current time, the higher the success rate of the secondary cell of which the cell is added as the terminal device, and the higher the priority of the corresponding frequency point. The longer the cell history is added as the secondary cell of the terminal device, the higher the success rate of the secondary cell of the terminal device, and the higher the priority of the corresponding frequency point. The more times the cell history is added as the secondary cell of the terminal device, the higher the success rate of the secondary cell of the terminal device, and the higher the priority of the corresponding frequency point. The priority of the frequency points is determined according to the history record of the auxiliary cell added by the network equipment for the terminal equipment, when the terminal equipment enters the idle state for a short time and can not measure all the frequency points of at least one frequency point in the idle state, the frequency point with high priority is preferentially measured, the reported measurement result is ensured to comprise the measurement result of the frequency point with high priority, the success rate of the auxiliary cell addition can be improved, and the guarantee is provided for the success rate of the CA/DC addition possibly performed subsequently.

In one embodiment, when the history record includes the addition time, the priority of the at least one frequency point is determined by a last historical addition time of the cell corresponding to the at least one frequency point; the frequency point with smaller time difference between the historical latest adding time and the current time has higher priority.

In the embodiment of the application, the smaller the time difference between the historical latest adding time and the current time of the secondary cell of the cell added as the terminal equipment is, the higher the success rate of the secondary cell of the cell added as the terminal equipment is, and the higher the priority of the corresponding frequency point is.
