An information reporting method and an information reporting apparatus provided by the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the related art, the terminal device performs measurement according to measurement configuration of the network side device, where the measurement configuration may include a measurement object (measurement object), a report configuration (report configuration), and a quantity configuration (quantity configuration).

The measurement object indicates the frequency and the cell to be measured, and may include multiple access technologies, including NR, LTE or E-UTRAN cells, and each measurement object is bound with a measurement object index identifier (measObject ID).

The reporting configuration indicates the type of reporting by the terminal device, including periodic reporting and event-based reporting. The configuration of a reporting timer is carried and used for triggering measurement reporting, and the reporting timer comprises T321, T322 and timetrigger. Different reporting configurations can be used for measurement objects of different access technologies, and each reporting configuration is bound to a reporting configuration index identifier (reportconfig ID).

Wherein the event-based reporting configuration provides a configuration,

the Signal types triggering reporting include RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power), RSRQ (Reference Signal Receiving Quality), or SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio).

A threshold or an offset.

And reporting the measurement result which comprises RSRP, RSRQ or SINR.

The terminal equipment compares the relation between the signal measurement results of the serving cell or the adjacent cell or the relation between the signal measurement results and a threshold, and if the relation meets the threshold requirement, the terminal equipment triggers the report of the measurement results.

The event-based measurement report includes A1-A6, B1-B2, D1, T1, etc. Wherein, the A series of events are used for intra-system mobility management, and the B series of events are used for inter-system mobility management. D1 and T1 are used for satellite system mobility management. The a-series reporting events are shown below,

event A1: service beacons beta mean absolute threshold (event A1: signal quality of Serving cell is greater than absolute threshold);

event A2: service belongings network absolute threshold (event A2: signal quality of Serving cell is less than absolute threshold);

event A4: neighbor beacons beta mean absolute threshold (event A4: signal quality of neighbor cell is greater than threshold);

event A5: PCell/PSCell beacons word absolute threshold1 AND neighbor/SCell beacons beta AND neighbor absolute threshold2 (event A5: signal quality of primary cell is less than threshold1, while signal quality of neighbor cell is greater than threshold 2);

event A6: neighbor cells' signal quality + offset is better than the signal quality of the secondary cell (event A6: signal quality of neighbor cells + offset);

in the related art, in the handover process, the network side device configures the terminal device for measurement, according to the measurement result reported by the terminal device, the network side device sends a handover request to the handover target cell, and after the target cell confirms that the handover request is completed, the network side device sends a handover command (Reconfiguration with sync) to the terminal device, where the handover command carries configuration information of the target cell. After the terminal equipment receives the switching command, the terminal equipment can synchronize with the target cell and then initiate a random access process to access the target cell.

However, the measurement reporting condition configured by the network side device to the terminal device may be unreasonable, for example, measurement reporting based on RSRP is configured, but at this time, RSRP of a serving cell corresponding to the terminal device is good, but RSRQ is poor, and measurement reporting cannot be triggered, so that the terminal device cannot perform cell switching and service interruption. For another example, the signal quality of the current cell is good, but the terminal device cannot obtain the uplink and downlink resources scheduled by the network side device for a long time (there are many terminal devices served by the current cell, communication congestion, etc.), and at this time, the terminal device cannot perform cell switching, which may cause service interruption, and so on.

Based on this, an information reporting method and an information reporting device are provided, where the terminal device may report auxiliary information to the network side device when a preset condition is met, where the auxiliary information is used to assist the network side device in mobility management, and the reporting of the auxiliary information is not triggered based on a measurement reporting condition.
