Description

Inter-system neighbor cell searching method and device, storage medium and terminal equipment
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for searching a neighboring cell of a different system, a storage medium, and a terminal device.
Background
Currently, in a New Radio (NR) system, User Equipment (UE) needs to measure a neighboring cell so as to switch or redirect the UE, where the measurement includes inter-frequency measurement and inter-system measurement in the NR system. When the UE performs these measurements, a special Measurement Gap (Measurement Gap) is required. In the measurement gap, the UE specially measures the adjacent cell without transmitting other data information. When the resources configured for the UE are located in the measurement time window of Gap in the time domain, and the UE performs inter-frequency/inter-system measurement, it is impossible to transmit corresponding information on these resources, thereby affecting user experience. The NR protocol introduces a RRM measurement time configuration window based on a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB), called SMTC window. The UE obtains the measurement period and time of all SSBs through SMTC.
However, for the NR and Long Term Evolution (LTE) multimode scenario, due to the uncertainty of time alignment between LTE and NR systems, when the UE receives data according to the configured SMTC, it cannot be determined that there is an SSB in the SMTC window. The UE may not search the neighboring Cell according to the SMTC window configuration, cannot establish a Secondary Cell Group (SCG), or cannot initiate a handover from LTE to NR, which affects user experience.

A terminal device may also be referred to as a User Equipment (UE), a terminal, etc.
As described in the background art, for an NR and Long Term Evolution (LTE) multimode scenario, due to uncertainty of time alignment between LTE and NR systems, when a UE receives data according to a configured SMTC, it cannot be determined that there is an SSB in the SMTC window. The UE may not search the neighboring Cell according to the SMTC window configuration, cannot establish a Secondary Cell Group (SCG), or cannot initiate a handover from LTE to NR, which affects user experience.
As shown in fig. 1, the periods of the SMTC window and the SSB are 2 radio frames, i.e., 20 milliseconds (ms). Due to the time misalignment of LTE and NR systems, the SMTC window is at the head of a cycle and the SSB is in the middle of a cycle. If the UE detects the SSB according to the current SMTC window configuration, it will be unable to search the neighboring cell.
In the technical scheme of the invention, the SSB is possible to fall in the SMTC window by moving the position of the SMTC window in the next measurement period, and the SSB can be detected in the SMTC window after a certain movement by moving the SMTC window in an iterative manner, so that the success rate of adjacent area search is improved, and the communication efficiency and the user experience are improved.
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for searching a neighboring cell of a different system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The inter-system neighbor cell searching method of the embodiment of the invention can be used in the terminal equipment, that is, the terminal equipment can execute each step of the method, and a chip in the terminal equipment can execute each step of the method.
Specifically, the inter-system neighbor cell searching method may include the following steps:
in step 201, SSB is detected within the SMTC window in the current measurement period;
in step 202, at least when no SSB is detected in the SMTC window of the current measurement period, iteratively moving the position of the SMTC window in the next measurement period and detecting SSB in the SMTC window of the next measurement period until SSB is detected in the SMTC window, the position of the moved SMTC window being different from the position of the SMTC window before moving;
in step 203, information of the detected SSB is reported.
It should be noted that the sequence numbers of the steps in this embodiment do not represent a limitation on the execution sequence of the steps.
It can be understood that, in a specific implementation, the inter-system neighbor cell searching method may be implemented by using a software program, where the software program runs in a processor integrated inside a chip or a chip module. The method may also be implemented by combining software and hardware, and the present application is not limited thereto.
The embodiment of the invention can be applied to the scene that the terminal equipment carries out cell measurement between different communication systems. Such as LTE and NR, or various evolving communication systems in the future.
In this embodiment, the measurement period refers to a period of SMTC windows, and each measurement period has one SMTC window. The terminal device may detect SSBs within the SMTC window without the terminal device having to detect SSBs outside the SMTC window. The position of the SMTC window in the current measurement period may be configured in advance by the network device through high-layer signaling, or may be determined in the last iteration process.
Specifically, the measurement period may be the same as the transmission period of the SSB, and may be, for example, 5ms,10ms,20ms,40ms,80ms, or 160 ms. The SMTC window has a duration that may be set according to the number of SSBs of the measured cell, and may be, for example, 1ms,2ms,3ms,4ms, or 5 ms.
In an implementation of step 202, the location of the SMTC window within a measurement cycle may be moved when no SSB is detected within the SMTC window within one or more measurement cycles. The process of moving the position of the SMTC window within the measurement period is an iterative process, the stop condition for the iteration being that SSB is detected within the SMTC window.
Specifically, the position of the SMTC window within the measurement period is a relative position. For example, the SMTC window before the movement is located at the head of the measurement period, and the SMTC window after the movement is located in the middle of the measurement period.
In the specific implementation of step 203, the terminal device may obtain the SSB information in the SMTC window, where the SSB information may be the measurement period and time of the SSB. The terminal device may report the SSB information to a network device, such as a base station or a core network.
In a non-limiting embodiment, the STMC window is moved by a preset offset in the next SMTC measurement period, where the preset offset is less than or equal to the length of the SMTC window.
In the embodiment of the invention, the preset offset is set to be less than or equal to the length of the SMTC window, so that the STMC window which moves for many times can comprehensively cover each time position in the detection period, thereby improving the probability of the success detection of the SSB and further improving the success rate of the adjacent region search.
For example, referring to fig. 3, the measurement period is 20ms for two radio frames. In the measurement period of the radio frame N and the radio frame N +1, the terminal device does not detect the SSB in the SMTC window. Then, in the measurement period of the radio frame N +2 and the radio frame N +3, the position of the SMTC window may be moved, and the terminal device still does not detect the SSB in the SMTC window. In the measurement period of the radio frame N +4 and the radio frame N +5, the position of the SMTC window may be continuously moved, and the terminal device may stop moving the SMTC window when detecting the SSB in the SMTC window. In the measurement period of radio frame N +6 and radio frame N +7, the position of the SMTC window is the same as that in the last measurement period.
Further, the STMC window has a start position and an end position, and the start position and the end position of the SMTC window are increased or decreased by the preset offset to obtain the position of the moved SMTC window.
Specifically, taking fig. 3 as an example, increasing the start position and the end position by the preset offset refers to moving the SMTC window to the right, and decreasing the start position and the end position by the preset offset refers to moving the SMTC window to the left.
In one non-limiting embodiment, if the SMTC window is located in the T-th measurement period and the T + 1-th measurement period, the position of the SMTC window is re-determined in the T + 2-th measurement period, T represents the next SMTC measurement period, and T is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.
In this embodiment, the SMTC window is located in the tth measurement period and the T +1 th measurement period, which means that the SMTC window spans two measurement periods, and in this case, in order to ensure the accuracy of measurement, the position of the SMTC window may be determined again in the next measurement period after the two measurement periods, that is, the T +2 th measurement period.
Specifically, the re-determining of the location of the SMTC window may be an initial location of the SMTC window configured by the higher layer signaling.
Further, the SMTC window may also be repositioned in the following manner: determining an original starting position and an original ending position of the SMTC window in a T +2 th measuring period according to the starting position and the ending position of the SMTC window in the T-th measuring period and a preset offset; and taking a modulus of the original starting position and the original ending position with the length of the measuring period to obtain a final starting position and a final ending position of the SMTC window in the T +2 measuring period.
Referring to fig. 4, in the measurement period of the radio frame N +2 and the radio frame N +3, the SMTC window is located at 4-9ms, and the terminal device does not detect the SSB in the SMTC window. In the measurement period of the radio frame N +4 and the radio frame N +5, the position of the SMTC window may be moved to 8-13ms, and the terminal device does not detect the SSB in the SMTC window. And in the measurement period of the radio frame N +6 and the radio frame N +7, the position of the SMTC window is continuously moved for 12-17ms, and the terminal equipment does not detect SSB in the SMTC window. And in the measurement period of the radio frame N +8 and the radio frame N +9, the position of the SMTC window is continuously moved for 16-21ms, and the terminal equipment does not detect SSB in the SMTC window. Since the SMTC window spans two measurement periods, the range of 20-25 modulo 20 in the measurement periods of the radio frame N +12 and the radio frame N +13 can be used to determine the position of the SMTC window to be 0-5 ms.
In the embodiment of the invention, the position of the SMTC window after the movement and the position of the SMTC window before the movement are partially overlapped, for example, the time of 0-5ms and 4-9ms is overlapped by 1 ms. The reason why the setting is so is that the detection effect of the terminal equipment at the boundary position of the SMTC window is poor, and through the mode, the SSB detection of the terminal equipment at the overlapping position can be more accurate, so that the success rate of the SSB detection is improved.
In one non-limiting embodiment, the SMTC window is iteratively moved in position for the next measurement cycle when no SSB is detected within a single measurement cycle.
Alternatively, when no SSB is detected in the current measurement period and a number of consecutive measurement periods before the current measurement period, the position of the SMTC window in the next measurement period may be iteratively moved.
By setting the operation that the SSB is not detected in a plurality of measurement periods to trigger the movement of the SMTC window, the robustness of SSB detection can be ensured, and unnecessary power consumption caused by the fact that the terminal falsely detects the SSB to trigger the window movement is avoided.
Referring to fig. 5, an embodiment of the present invention further discloses a device for searching inter-system neighbor cells. The inter-system neighbor searching means 50 may include:
a detecting module 501, configured to detect an SSB within an SMTC window in a current measurement period;

a reporting module 503, configured to report the detected information of the SSB.
The embodiment of the invention can try to discover and search the adjacent cell under the conditions that the SMTC window can not detect SSB in different current network or private network scenes by moving the SMTC window to search the adjacent cell, thereby increasing the adjacent cell searching capability and the scene compatibility aiming at the equipment.
