The position of a plurality of industrial Internet of things devices is fixed, the mobility is poor, the service type is single, and the industrial Internet of things devices are simple small data volume data services. Since industrial internet of things devices, such as industrial sensors and monitoring devices, are often in fixed positions, in this case, the probability of cell reselection is very low, and therefore, it is necessary to reduce the requirement for performing radio resource management measurement, so as to achieve the purpose of saving power. However, in the current method for reducing power consumption, cell selection or cell reselection measurement is performed on terminal devices in an idle state or an inactive state, and an S criterion is applied to determine whether a measurement result meets a cell selection or cell reselection trigger condition, and no energy saving optimization scheme for a Light (NR Light)/reduced capability (reduced capability) terminal device such as an industrial internet of things device is considered.

Exemplarily, if the terminal device meets at least one of the following conditions, it is determined that the terminal device is in the preset state:

the terminal equipment is in a static state;

Next, how to determine that the terminal device is in the preset state is described in detail through specific embodiments.

1. Determining that a terminal device is in a preset state based on a measurement signal

Specifically, if the fluctuation of the measurement signal of the terminal device in the first preset time period is less than or equal to the preset threshold, it is determined that the terminal device is in the preset state.

First, the fluctuation of the measurement signal within a first preset time period is determined.

The measurement signal may be a signal measured by the terminal device for cell selection or cell reselection.

In one specific implementation, a reference value of a measurement signal within a first preset time period is obtained; and determining the fluctuation of the measuring signal in the first preset time period according to the corresponding measured value and the reference value of the measuring signal in the first preset time period.

Wherein the reference value comprises at least one of:

case one, the current measurement value when the terminal device performs cell selection.

And the second situation is the current measured value when the terminal equipment performs cell reselection.

And in case of the third condition, if the number of the corresponding measured values of the measurement signal in the first preset time period is at least two, the reference value is an average value of the corresponding measured values.

Optionally, the measurement may comprise at least one of:

a cell selection RX level value (cell selection RX level value, the parameter in the current protocol is expressed as Srxlev, and the calculation formula is Srxlev = Qrxlevmeas- (Qrxlevmin + Qrxlevminoffset) -Pcompenation-Qoffset, wherein the symbolic meaning can refer to TS 38.304.2.3.2);

a cell selection quality value (cell selection quality value, which is expressed as Squal in the current protocol, and is calculated by the formula: squal = Qqualmeas- (Qqualmin + Qqualmin offset) -qoffsetemp, wherein the symbolic meaning can refer to TS 38.304.5.2.3.2);

reference signal received power (RSRP, which is a parameter denoted as Qrxlevmeas in the current protocol);

reference signal received quality (RSRQ, which is denoted as Qqualmeas in the current protocol);

and so on.

For determining the fluctuation of the measurement signal in the first preset time period according to the measurement value and the reference value corresponding to the measurement signal in the first preset time period, the method can be implemented by various embodiments:

in one possible embodiment, determining the fluctuation of the measurement signal in the first preset time period according to the corresponding measurement value and the reference value of the measurement signal in the first preset time period may include: determining the fluctuation of the measurement signal within a first preset time period according to the following expression:

wherein, X _i Representing the measured values, i takes the values 1,2, … …, N,

representing the mean of N measurements, i.e.

In this embodiment, the fluctuation of the measurement signal in the first predetermined time period, i.e. the variance of the measurement signal in the first predetermined time period, is measured.

Alternatively, suitable modifications of expression (1) are within the scope of the present application, for example,

or

And so on.

In another possible embodiment, determining the fluctuation of the measurement signal in the first preset time period according to the corresponding measurement value and the reference value of the measurement signal in the first preset time period may include: determining N fluctuation values of the measurement signal in a first preset time period according to the following expression:

wherein each symbol has the same meaning as described above.

Correspondingly, if the fluctuation is smaller than the preset threshold, determining that the terminal device is in the preset state may include: and if the N fluctuation values are all smaller than the preset threshold, determining that the terminal equipment is in the preset state.

This embodiment differs from the previous embodiment in that: the embodiment obtains N fluctuation values, so the N times of comparison with the preset threshold are carried out, and when the N times of comparison result shows that the fluctuation value is smaller than the preset threshold, the terminal equipment is determined to be in the preset state; otherwise, determining that the terminal equipment is not in the preset state.

In another possible embodiment, determining the fluctuation of the measurement signal in the first preset time period according to the corresponding measurement value and the reference value of the measurement signal in the first preset time period may include: determining the fluctuation of the measurement signal within a first preset time period according to the following expression:

wherein, X _i Representing the measured values, i takes the values 1,2, … …, N, X ₀ Indicating the current measurement value at the time of cell selection of the terminal device, or, X ₀ Representing the current measurement value at the time of cell reselection by the terminal device.

And secondly, if the fluctuation is smaller than a preset threshold, determining that the terminal equipment is in a preset state.

The more gradual the fluctuation of the measurement signal in the first preset time period is, the better the channel condition of the terminal device in the first preset time period is, and/or the slower the moving speed of the terminal device in the first preset time period is.

Optionally, before detecting whether the terminal device is in the preset state, the method for reducing power consumption may further include: receiving first configuration information, wherein the first configuration information comprises a first preset time period and a preset threshold. Further, the first configuration information is carried by Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling or a first broadcast message.

Correspondingly, the network device generates first configuration information and transmits the first configuration information, so that the terminal device receiving the first configuration information determines whether to execute power saving configuration based on a first preset time period and a preset threshold.

2. The terminal equipment is in a static state

The condition for determining that the terminal device is in the static state may include at least one of the following:

In some embodiments, determining that the terminal device is in a stationary state may include: and if the cell reselection frequency of the terminal equipment in the second preset time period is zero, determining that the terminal equipment is in a static state. Specifically, the terminal device obtains the cell reselection times within a second preset time period, and if the cell reselection times are zero, the terminal device is determined to be in a static state; otherwise, determining that the terminal equipment is in a non-static state.
