Description

Early measurement method, early measurement device, chip and module equipment
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to an early measurement method, device, chip, and module device.
Background
Early measurements (early measurement) are introduced in the current protocol, including measurements of LTE or New Radio (NR) carriers by terminal devices in idle state/inactive state of radio resource control (radio resource control, RRC) under long term evolution (long term evolution, LTE), and measurements of LTE or NR carriers by terminal devices in idle state/inactive state of RRC under NR. The terminal device may report the result of the early measurement to the network device after entering the RRC connected state, and the network device may configure the terminal device with carrier aggregation (carrier aggregation, CA) or dual connectivity (multi-radio access technology dual connectivity, MR-DC) of multiple radio access technologies faster based on the result of the early measurement.
In the early measurement function described by the protocol, the network device may request the terminal device to measure the LTE or NR carrier in the idle state of RRC or in the inactive state of RRC through early measurement configuration information provided by a system message or early measurement configuration information provided by an RRC connection release message. In addition, the RRC connection release message may further include a T331 timer, and after the terminal device acquires the RRC connection release message, the T331 timer may be started, where the T331 timer may be used to ensure timeliness of early measurement configuration information in the RRC connection release message. If the measurement frequency related information is not included in the early measurement configuration information provided by the RRC connection release message, the measurement frequency related information in the early measurement configuration information provided by the system message may be employed. When the T331 timer is stopped or times out, the terminal device needs to clear the early measurement configuration information provided by the RRC connection release message, and only the measurement frequency in the early measurement configuration information provided by the system message can be used. However, after the timer of T331 is stopped or overtime, it is not explicitly indicated whether the terminal device needs to continue to perform early measurement, so that a situation that early measurement is not performed continuously may occur, thereby reducing the validity of early measurement report and reducing the success rate of establishing CA/MR-DC.

The network device may be a macro base station, a micro base station, an indoor station, a relay node, a donor node, or the like. In this embodiment of the present application, the means for implementing the function of the network device may be the network device itself, or may be a means capable of supporting the network device to implement the function, for example, a chip system or a combination device or a component capable of implementing the function of the access network device, where the apparatus may be installed in the network device. The embodiment of the application does not limit the specific technology and the specific device form adopted by the network device.
To facilitate an understanding of the solution provided by the embodiments of the present application, early measurements (early measurement) are described below:
early measurements are introduced in the present protocol, including measurements of LTE or NR carriers by terminal devices in idle state of radio resource control (radio resource control, RRC)/inactive state of RRC in LTE, and measurements of LTE or NR carriers by terminal devices in idle state of RRC/inactive state of RRC in NR. The terminal device may report the result of the early measurement to the network device after entering the RRC connected state. The network device may more quickly configure the terminal device with carrier aggregation (carrier aggregation, CA) or dual connectivity (multi-radio access technology dual connectivity, MR-DC) of multiple radio access technologies based on the results of the early measurements.
Specifically, the network device may request the terminal device to measure the LTE or NR carrier in the idle state of RRC or the inactive state of RRC through early measurement configuration information provided by a system message or early measurement configuration information provided by an RRC connection release message. After the terminal device performs the requested measurement, indication information that an early measurement report is available is provided to the network device in the RRC connection setup or RRC connection recovery procedure. After RRC security activation, the network device may request the terminal device to provide an early measurement report in the terminal device information request, and then the terminal device carries the early measurement report to the network device in a response message corresponding to the terminal device information request, or during RRC connection recovery, the network device may request the terminal device to provide the early measurement report in an RRC connection recovery message, and then the terminal device carries the early measurement report to the network device in an RRC connection recovery complete message.
In addition, the RRC connection release message may further include a T331 timer, and after the terminal device acquires the RRC connection release message, the T331 timer may be started, where the T331 timer may be used to ensure timeliness of early measurement configuration information in the RRC connection release message. If the measurement frequency related information is not included in the early measurement configuration information provided by the RRC connection release message, the measurement frequency related information in the early measurement configuration information provided by the system message may be employed. When the T331 timer is stopped or times out, the terminal device needs to clear the early measurement configuration information provided by the RRC connection release message, and only the measurement frequency in the early measurement configuration information provided by the system message can be used. However, after the T331 timer is stopped or expires, it is not explicitly indicated whether the terminal device needs to continue to perform the early measurement, and thus, a situation may occur in which the early measurement is not performed, or a situation may occur in which the early measurement is performed continuously.
(1) After the T331 timer has stopped or timed out, early measurements are not continued.
When the timer T331 is stopped or overtime, if the terminal device does not continue to perform early measurement, a problem of inaccurate early measurement report may occur, reducing the validity of the early measurement report, and reducing the success rate of establishing CA/MR-DC. For example, when the terminal device moves in an idle state of RRC or an inactive state of RRC, performing an early measurement procedure at location point a, and obtaining an early measurement report; when the T331 timer stops or times out, and the early measurement is not supposed to be carried out continuously, the early measurement report is still reserved, and the terminal equipment enters a connection mode right at the moment when the terminal equipment moves to the position point B for a long time, and the network equipment is reported that the available early measurement report exists; the network device may directly use the cell in the reported early measurement report to establish CA/MR-DC after entering the connected mode, but the cell signal measured at the location point a is already very weak at this time, and a situation may occur that the cell for establishing CA/MR-DC is not available.
(2) After the T331 timer expires or expires, early measurements continue to be performed.
When the T331 timer is stopped or times out, the terminal device continues to perform early measurement by using the early measurement configuration information provided by the system message, which is beneficial to ensuring the validity of the early measurement report, but may cause an increase in power consumption due to an additional measurement procedure.
Therefore, in order to improve the validity of the early measurement report after the T331 timer is stopped or overtime, improve the success rate of establishing carrier aggregation or dual connection of a plurality of radio access technologies, and not increase extra large power consumption, the application provides an early measurement method, device, chip and module equipment. The early measurement method, device, chip and module device provided in the embodiments of the present application are further described in detail below.
1. After the T331 timer has stopped or expired, the terminal device continues with early measurements.
Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of an early measurement method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, the early measurement method includes the following step S201. The method execution body shown in fig. 2 may be a terminal device. Alternatively, the method execution body shown in fig. 2 may be a chip in the terminal device, which is not limited herein. Fig. 2 illustrates an example of a method performed by a terminal device.
S201, after the first timer is stopped or overtime, the terminal equipment responds to the first condition to continue early measurement.
In this embodiment of the present application, the first condition is that the measurement frequency in the early measurement configuration information of the system message and the measurement frequency in the measurement configuration information of the common reselection have the same measurement frequency, and the first timer is used to ensure timeliness of the early measurement configuration information in the RRC connection release message. The first timer may be a T331 timer, or may be another timer for ensuring the timeliness of the early measurement configuration information in the RRC connection release message, which is not limited herein. The measurement frequency in the early measurement configuration information of the system message refers to the frequency that the network device meets the basic condition of early measurement in the early measurement configuration information provided by the system message, and the system message may be related system messages of residing LTE, such as system information block (system information block, SIB) 5 and SIB24, and may also be related system messages of residing NR, such as SIB11 and SIB4, which are not limited herein; the so-called early measurement basic conditions include that the measurement frequency is a frequency of a bandwidth supported by the terminal device, that a bandwidth combination of the measurement frequency and a service frequency of a cell where the terminal device currently camps is a bandwidth combination supported by the terminal device, that the measurement frequency is a frequency satisfying carrier aggregation, and the like. The measurement frequency in the measurement configuration information of the common reselection refers to a measurement frequency at which the terminal device satisfies a measurement criterion of the cell reselection.
The network device may request the terminal device to measure the LTE or NR carrier in an idle state of RRC or an inactive state of RRC through early measurement configuration information provided by a system message or early measurement configuration information provided by an RRC connection release message. After the first timer is stopped or overtime, the terminal device clears the early measurement configuration information provided by the RRC connection release message, and only the measurement frequency in the early measurement configuration information provided by the system message can be used. If the measurement frequency in the early measurement configuration information of the system message and the measurement frequency in the measurement configuration information of the common reselection exist at the same measurement frequency (i.e., the first measurement frequency), the terminal device may continue to perform early measurement. That is, after the first timer is stopped or times out, if the measurement frequency in the early measurement configuration information provided by the system message belongs to the measurement frequency in the measurement configuration information in which the common reselection is being performed, the terminal device may implement early measurement using the measurement result obtained by the measurement at the time of the common reselection, that is, may determine the measurement result of the first measurement frequency identical to the measurement frequency in the early measurement configuration information of the system message from the measurement results at the time of the common reselection, and convert the measurement result of the first measurement frequency using the configuration of the early measurement, thereby obtaining a result that the terminal device continues to perform early measurement. Therefore, the method can not increase extra large power consumption, can ensure the validity of early measurement reports, and can improve the success rate of establishing carrier aggregation or dual connection of a plurality of wireless access technologies.
For example, assume that the measurement frequencies in the early measurement configuration information of the system message include F1, F2, and F3, and the measurement frequencies in the measurement configuration information of the common reselection include F1, F3, and F4. After the first timer is stopped or times out, the terminal device clears the early measurement configuration information provided by the RRC connection release message, and discovers that the same measurement frequencies, i.e., F1 and F3 (i.e., the first measurement frequency), exist in the measurement frequencies in the early measurement configuration information of the system message and in the measurement configuration information of the common reselection. Therefore, the terminal device needs to continue to perform early measurement, where early measurement includes early measurement for F1 and F3, and since the common reselection being performed by the terminal device would originally perform measurement for F1 and F3, no extra power consumption is added, and validity of early measurement report can be ensured.
In one possible implementation, after the terminal device continues to make the early measurement in response to the first condition, the method further includes the following steps s11 to s13, as shown in fig. 3:
and s11, the terminal equipment sends a first request to the network equipment. Accordingly, the network device receives a first request from the terminal device.
In a specific implementation, the first request is for requesting RRC connection establishment or RRC connection restoration, the first request including first information indicating that a first early measurement report is available. When the terminal device triggers an RRC connection setup or RRC connection recovery procedure, information indicating that an early measurement report is available may be reported to the network device.
And s12, the network equipment sends a second request to the terminal equipment. Accordingly, the terminal device receives a second request from the network device.
In a specific implementation, the second request is used to request the terminal device to report an early measurement report. After the network device receives the first request, whether the terminal device is required to report the early measurement report can be judged according to the network state or the network requirement, i.e. the network device can request the terminal device to report the early measurement report, or can not request the terminal device to report the early measurement report. In the embodiment of the application, the network device requests the terminal device to report the early measurement report is taken as an example for explanation.
And s13, the terminal equipment sends a first early measurement report to the network equipment. Accordingly, the network device receives a first early measurement report from the terminal device.
In a specific implementation, the first early measurement report includes an early measurement result of a first measurement frequency, the first measurement frequency being a same measurement frequency in early measurement configuration information of the system message and in measurement configuration information of the common reselection. After receiving the second request from the network device, the terminal device may send the current early measurement report, i.e. the first early measurement report, to the network device.
For example, assume that the measurement frequencies in the early measurement configuration information of the system message include F1, F2, and F3, and the measurement frequencies in the measurement configuration information of the common reselection include F1, F3, and F4. After the first timer is stopped or times out, the terminal device clears the early measurement configuration information provided by the RRC connection release message, since the same measurement frequencies, i.e., F1 and F3 (i.e., the first measurement frequency), exist in the measurement frequencies in the early measurement configuration information of the system message and in the measurement configuration information of the common reselection. The terminal device continues with the early measurement, which includes early measurements for F1 and F3, where F1 and F3 are the same measurement frequency in the early measurement configuration information of the system message and in the measurement configuration information of the common reselection, and the first early measurement report includes the early measurement results of F1 and F3.
It should be noted that the measurement frequency in the early measurement configuration information of the system message also needs to satisfy the frequency that is the bandwidth supported by the terminal device, and the bandwidth combination with the service frequency of the cell where the terminal device currently resides is the bandwidth combination supported by the terminal device.
It can be seen that, based on the method described in fig. 2, after the first timer (e.g., the T331 timer) is stopped or overtime, if the measurement frequency in the early measurement configuration information of the system message and the measurement frequency in the measurement configuration information of the common reselection have the same measurement frequency (i.e., the first measurement frequency), the terminal device needs to continue to perform early measurement at this time, specifically, the measurement result obtained by measurement during the common reselection may be used to implement early measurement, that is, the measurement result of the first measurement frequency that is the same as the measurement frequency in the early measurement configuration information of the system message may be determined from the measurement result during the common reselection, and the measurement result of the first measurement frequency is converted by using the configuration of the early measurement, so as to obtain the result that the terminal device continues to perform early measurement. Therefore, the method can not only increase extra large power consumption, but also improve the effectiveness of early measurement reports and the success rate of establishing carrier aggregation or dual connection of a plurality of wireless access technologies.
2. After the T331 timer has stopped or timed out, the terminal device does not continue with early measurements.
Fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart of an early measurement method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, the early measurement method includes the following step S401. The method execution body shown in fig. 4 may be a terminal device. Alternatively, the method execution body shown in fig. 4 may be a chip in the terminal device, which is not limited herein. Fig. 4 illustrates an example of a method of a terminal device.
S401, after the first timer is stopped or overtime, the terminal device does not continue early measurement in response to the second condition.
In the embodiment of the present application, the second condition is that the measurement frequency in the early measurement configuration information of the system message and the measurement frequency in the measurement configuration information of the common reselection do not have the same measurement frequency. The first timer may be a T331 timer, or may be another timer for ensuring the timeliness of the early measurement configuration information in the RRC connection release message, which is not limited herein. The network device may request the terminal device to measure the LTE or NR carrier in an idle state of RRC or an inactive state of RRC through early measurement configuration information provided by a system message or early measurement configuration information provided by an RRC connection release message. After the first timer is stopped or overtime, the terminal device clears the early measurement configuration information provided by the RRC connection release message, and only the measurement frequency in the early measurement configuration information provided by the system message can be used. If the measurement frequency in the early measurement configuration information of the system message and the measurement frequency in the measurement configuration information of the common reselection do not have the same measurement frequency at this time, the terminal device does not continue to perform early measurement so as to save the power consumption of the terminal device.
In addition, in order to ensure the validity of the early measurement report, whether to start the second timer may be determined by judging whether the terminal device moves, where the second timer may be an early measurement report validity protection timer, that is, when the second timer does not timeout, the early measurement report may be reserved; when the second timer expires, the early measurement report needs to be cleared.
Specifically, in one possible implementation, after the terminal device does not proceed with early measurement in response to the second condition, step S501 is performed: the terminal device judges whether the terminal device moves or not. The following two cases occur in particular, as shown in fig. 5:
case one: the terminal device starts a second timer in response to the movement of the terminal device. Based on the mode, the validity of an early measurement report can be ensured, and the success rate of establishing carrier aggregation or double connection of a plurality of wireless access technologies is improved. Specifically comprises the steps s 21-s 27:
and s21, the terminal equipment responds to the movement of the terminal equipment, and starts a second timer.
In a specific implementation, the second timer is used to protect the validity of early measurement reports.
And S22, the terminal equipment judges whether the second timer is overtime.
If the second timer times out, executing step s23; if the second timer has not timed out, steps s24 to s27 are performed.
s23, the terminal equipment responds to the second timer to timeout, and clears the second early measurement report.
In a specific implementation, the second early measurement report includes measurement results obtained by early measurement before the first timer expires or expires.
And s24, the terminal equipment responds to the fact that the second timer is not overtime, and the terminal equipment sends a third request to the network equipment. Accordingly, the network device receives a third request from the terminal device.
In a specific implementation, the third request is for requesting RRC connection establishment or RRC connection restoration, the third request including second information indicating that a second early measurement report is available. Since the second timer does not timeout, when the early measurement report still exists, information indicating that the early measurement report is available may be reported to the network device when the terminal device triggers an RRC connection setup or RRC connection recovery procedure.
s25, the network device sends a fourth request to the terminal device. Accordingly, the terminal device receives a fourth request from the network device.
In a specific implementation, the fourth request is used to request the terminal device to report an early measurement report. After the network device receives the third request, it can determine whether the terminal device is required to report the early measurement report according to its network state or network requirement, i.e. the network device may request the terminal device to report the early measurement report, or may not request the terminal device to report the early measurement report. In the embodiment of the application, the network device requests the terminal device to report the early measurement report is taken as an example for explanation.
s26, the terminal device stops the second timer.
s27, the terminal device sends the second early measurement report and third information to the network device. Accordingly, the network device receives the second early measurement report and the third information from the terminal device.
In a specific implementation, the third information indicates that the first timer has stopped or timed out. After receiving the second request from the network device, the terminal device may send the current early measurement report, i.e. the second early measurement report, to the network device. Meanwhile, the terminal equipment also sends information for indicating the first timer to stop or overtime so that the network equipment can know that the two early measurement reports are the early measurement reports reserved after the first timer stops or overtime, and the network equipment can automatically judge whether to adopt the early measurement reports.
And a second case: the terminal device starts a second timer in response to the terminal device not moving. Based on this, the power consumption of the terminal device can be not increased. Specifically, the method comprises the following step s31:
and s31, the terminal equipment responds to the fact that the terminal equipment does not move, the second timer is not started, and the second early measurement report is saved.
In a specific implementation, since the terminal device does not move, the early measurement report is not updated at this time and does not affect the establishment of carrier aggregation or dual connectivity of multiple radio access technologies, i.e. the second timer may not be started and the second early measurement report may be saved.
In one possible implementation manner, the manner of judging whether the terminal device moves may be:
(1) The change value of the reference signal receiving power of the service cell where the terminal equipment currently resides is smaller than or equal to a first preset value, and the terminal equipment does not move.
The reference signal received power (reference signal receiving power, RSRP) is one of the key parameters that can represent the radio signal strength and the physical layer measurement requirements, and is the average value of the received signal power on all the resource elements that carry the reference signal in a certain symbol.
For example, assuming that the first preset value is 3 decibels (db), the change value of the reference signal received power of the serving cell where the terminal device currently resides is less than or equal to 3db, which indicates that the terminal device has not moved.
(2) The change value of the reference signal receiving power of the service cell where the terminal equipment currently resides is larger than a first preset value, and the terminal equipment moves.
For example, assuming that the first preset value is 3db, the change value of the reference signal received power of the serving cell where the terminal device currently resides is greater than 3db, which indicates that the terminal device moves.
In one possible implementation, the duration of the second timer is related to the movement state of the terminal device. For the mobile state of the terminal device, the current protocol defines a decision criterion of the terminal device in an idle state for the mobile state of the terminal device, and a conversion relation between the mobile states, and the specific description is as follows:
A. If the number of times of executing cell reselection by the terminal equipment in the preset time period is greater than the set lower limit number of times and less than or equal to the set upper limit number of times, the terminal equipment is considered to be in a medium-speed moving state;
B. if the number of times that the terminal equipment performs cell reselection in the preset time period is greater than the upper limit number of times, the terminal equipment is considered to be in a high-speed moving state;
C. and if the number of times of cell reselection executed by the terminal equipment in the preset time period is less than or equal to the lower limit number of times, the terminal equipment is considered to be in a normal moving state.
The terminal equipment detects the cell reselection times of the terminal equipment, and enters a high-speed moving state if the judgment criterion of the high-speed moving state is met; if the judgment criterion of the medium speed moving state is met, entering the medium speed moving state; if the judgment criterion of the high-speed moving state is not met, or the judgment criterion of the medium-speed moving state is not met, the normal moving state is entered.
Optionally, the manner of determining the duration of the second timer according to the movement state of the terminal device may be:
a. the moving state of the terminal equipment is a high-speed moving state, and the duration of the second timer is a second preset value.
For example, the second preset value may be set to 1 paging (paging) cycle.
b. The mobile state of the terminal equipment is a normal mobile state, and the duration of the second timer is a third preset value.
Wherein the third preset value is related to the number of measurement frequencies in the early measurement configuration information of the system message.
For example, the third preset value may be set to (1+α×the number of measurement frequencies in the early measurement configuration information of the system message) paging cycles. Wherein α may be set to 0.5.
c. The moving state of the terminal equipment is a low-speed moving state, and the duration of the second timer is a fourth preset value.
Wherein the fourth preset value is related to the number of measurement frequencies in the early measurement configuration information of the system message.
For example, the third preset value may be set to (1+2×α×the number of measurement frequencies in the early measurement configuration information of the system message) a paging cycle. Wherein α may be set to 0.5.
Based on this, the accuracy of the time length setting of the second timer can be further improved.
It should be noted that the third preset value is greater than the second preset value, and the fourth preset value is greater than the third preset value. Based on the mode, the time length of the second timer of the terminal equipment in the high-speed moving state is ensured to be longer than the time length of the second timer of the terminal equipment in the medium-speed moving state, and the time length of the second timer of the terminal equipment in the medium-speed moving state is ensured to be longer than the time length of the second timer of the terminal equipment in the low-speed moving state.
It can be seen that, based on the method described in fig. 4, after the first timer (e.g. T331 timer) is stopped or overtime, if the measurement frequency in the early measurement configuration information of the system message and the measurement frequency in the measurement configuration information of the common reselection do not have the same measurement frequency, the terminal device does not continue to perform early measurement at this time, so as not to increase the power consumption of the terminal device, and in addition, the setting of the second timer may be increased, where the second timer may be used to protect the validity of the early measurement report, and improve the success rate of establishing the carrier aggregation or the dual connection of the multiple radio access technologies.
