It should be understood that the terms "system" and "network" are used interchangeably herein. The term "and/or" is herein merely an association relationship describing an associated object, meaning that there may be three relationships, e.g., a and/or B, may represent: a exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone. In addition, the character "/" herein generally indicates that the front and rear associated objects are an "or" relationship.
The terminology used in the description section of the present application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments of the present application only and is not intended to be limiting of the present application. The terms "first," "second," "third," and "fourth" and the like in the description and in the claims of this application and in the drawings, are used for distinguishing between different objects and not for describing a particular sequential order. Furthermore, the terms "comprise" and "have," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion.

In a 5G network environment, for the purposes of reducing air interface signaling and quickly recovering a radio connection, and quickly recovering data traffic, a new radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) state, i.e., an rrc_inactive state, is defined. This state is different from the rrc_idle and rrc_connected states. Rrc_idle: mobility is UE-based cell selection reselection, paging is initiated by a Core Network (CN), and paging areas are configured by the CN. The base station side does not have a UE Access Stratum (AS) context, and does not have RRC connection. Rrc_connected: the RRC connection exists, and the base station and the UE exist a UE AS context; the network device knows that the location of the UE is cell specific. Mobility is mobility controlled by the network device. Unicast data may be transmitted between the UE and the base station. Rrc_inactive: mobility is a UE-based cell selection reselection, there is a connection between CN-NRs, the UE AS context is present on a certain base station, paging is triggered by the radio access network (Radio Access Network, RAN), the RAN-based paging area is managed by the RAN, the network device knows that the UE location is based on the RAN paging area level.
For better understanding of the embodiments of the present application, NPN networks related to the present application will be described.
The NR 16 introduces an NPN, which may be divided into an snp and a CAG network in order to increase flexibility of NPN deployment, where one snp is determined by PLMN ID and NID, and one CAG network is determined by PLMN ID and CAG identification (CAG ID). Taking the SNPN as an example, PLMN ID and NID may be used as an identifier of the SNPN, and a user subscribed to a certain SNPN service may configure a corresponding user permanent identifier (Subscriber Permanent Identifier, SUPI) and subscription information, and store them at the terminal device and the core network side. A user subscribed to the SNPN service needs to support an SNPN access mode (SNPN access mode), and a user configured to the SNPN access mode can only access the network through the SNPN, and a user not configured to the SNPN access mode can perform a PLMN selection procedure. Wherein the configuration mode (activation, deactivation, etc.) of the SNPN access mode is implemented by the terminal device. In the processes of initial access and cell reselection, the access network equipment needs to broadcast the NID supported by itself and corresponding PLMN ID information, and the user configured with the SNPN access mode can select an accessible SNPN cell according to own subscription information, and the core network equipment can also authenticate the identity of the user according to the subscription information of the user.
One PLMN can simultaneously support any network sharing combination mode in the common public network, the SNPN and the CAG network. For example, one PLMN may support a common public network, an SNPN, or a CAG network alone, or may support a network sharing combination mode of the common public network and the SNPN, or may support a network sharing combination mode of the common public network, the SNPN, and the CAG network. In other words, the common public network, the SNPN or the CAG network may be supported by one PLMN, or the common public network and the SNPN may share one PLMN network at the same time, or even the common public network, the SNPN and the CAG network may share one PLMN network at the same time. The following table 1 can more clearly reflect the logical deployment relationship among the common public network, the SNPN and the CAG network.
TABLE 1
Figure PCTCN2020141447-APPB-000001
As shown in table 1, from the network configuration perspective, one cell may simultaneously configure public network PLMN ID list information and non-public network NPN network identification list information, where the non-public network NPN network identification list information is an optional parameter introduced by NR R16, and for a CAG type NPN network, one PLMN ID is allowed to be associated with one CAG ID list; for an NPN network of the SNPN type, one PLMN ID is allowed to be associated with one NID list.
The parameter N/M/W in Table 1 is a positive integer of 1 or more.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a networking combination relationship among a common public network, an SNPN and a CAG network according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, one physical cell may be shared by multiple PLMN networks at the same time, and each PLMN logical cell may constitute its own unique non-public network. Alternatively, different physical cells may be distinguished by physical cell identity (Physical Cell Identities, PCI). For example, there are 1008 total NR system physical cell identities. PCI is a radio signal used to distinguish between different cells, ensuring that there is no identical physical cell identity within the coverage of the relevant cell. Any network sharing combination of a common public network, SNPN and CAG network can be freely deployed under one PLMN. Optionally, the number of independent SNPN subnetworks deployed in one physical cell, the number of independent CAG subnetworks, or the total number of SNPNs and CAG subnetworks cannot exceed 12.
It should be noted that, the "suitable cell" may refer to a cell in which the terminal device may normally reside.
In order to better understand the embodiments of the present application, the frequency point priority related to the present application is described.
The network side can configure the frequency point priority information at the same time when configuring a frequency point, the frequency point priority value is 0-7, 0 represents the lowest priority, 7 represents the highest priority, for the diversity of the frequency point priority configuration, the standard prescribes that each value of 0-7 can be associated with a decimal place value, the decimal place value range is {0.2,0.4,0.6,0.8}, and the whole digits and the decimal places are matched with 40 frequency point priority combinations in total.
The frequency point priority can be configured through system information or special signaling, the frequency point priority of the special signaling is related to an effective duration, and the special frequency point priority always covers the public frequency point priority of the system information broadcast in the effective duration; after the effective duration is overtime, the terminal can only use the public frequency point priority.
It should be noted that, when a frequency point is configured, the frequency point priority of the frequency point configured by the network side is the absolute frequency point priority of the frequency point.
For better understanding of the embodiments of the present application, a cell selection reselection rule of a terminal in an NPN network related to the present application will be described.
Cell selection: and if the cell selected by the terminal meets the proper cell criterion, the terminal can select to reside in the cell to complete cell selection.
Cell reselection: and if the reselected target cell meets the proper cell criterion and meets the reselection criterion condition defined based on the absolute frequency point priority, the terminal reselects to the cell which corresponds to the condition and completes cell reselection.
The reselection criteria defined based on the absolute frequency point priority include the following three types:
a high priority frequency point reselection criterion;
the equal priority frequency point reselection criterion or the same frequency reselection criterion is also called as an R criterion;
Low priority frequency point reselection criteria.
The third party entity establishes the NPN network as a new NPN network distribution requirement, such as temporary concert communication and temporary emergency communication, and the provision of the temporary NPN network distribution by relying on an operator each time is not an efficient network construction mode, so that the operator seems to be more efficient for various third party NPN network distribution requirements which continuously grow in the future through a protocol authorization mode.
However, once the operator authorizes the third party entity to establish the own NPN network, the problem of coexistence of the NPN network deployed by the operator official and the NPN network deployed by the third party entity occurs, and in this case, how to determine the frequency point priority is a problem to be solved.
Based on the above problems, the present application proposes a scheme for determining the priority of a frequency point, where a terminal device can determine the priority of the frequency point of a serving cell and the frequency point of its neighboring frequency, so that cell selection or cell reselection can be performed based on the determined priority of the frequency point, thereby improving system performance.
The technical scheme of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments.
Fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart of a method 200 of wireless communication according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, the method 200 may include at least some of the following:
S210, the network equipment sends frequency point priority information to the terminal equipment, wherein the frequency point priority information is used for determining the frequency point priority of a target frequency point by the terminal equipment, and the target frequency point comprises a service cell frequency point and/or at least one adjacent frequency associated with the service cell;
s220, the terminal equipment receives the frequency point priority information;
s230, the terminal equipment determines the frequency point priority of the target frequency point according to the frequency point priority information.
In this embodiment of the present application, the frequency point priority information is different from priority information (i.e., absolute frequency point priority) of a frequency point configured by a network side while configuring the frequency point, where the frequency point priority information in this embodiment of the present application is used to indicate that the frequency point priority of the corresponding frequency point is highest or lowest. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device determines the frequency point priority of the target frequency point according to the frequency point priority information, instead of directly acquiring the absolute frequency point priority of the target frequency point.
It should be noted that the serving cell may be the current serving cell.
Alternatively, the serving cell frequency point may be a frequency point in an NPN network officially deployed by an operator. In this case, part or all of at least one adjacent frequency associated with the serving cell may be a frequency point in an NPN network deployed by an official authority of an operator, or part or all of at least one adjacent frequency associated with the serving cell may also be a frequency point in an NPN network deployed by a third party entity.
Optionally, the serving cell frequency point may also be a frequency point in an NPN network deployed by a third party entity. In this case, part or all of at least one adjacent frequency associated with the serving cell may be a frequency point in an NPN network deployed by an official authority of an operator, or part or all of at least one adjacent frequency associated with the serving cell may also be a frequency point in an NPN network deployed by a third party entity.
In some embodiments, the frequency point priority information in S230 may not be acquired from the network device, that is, S210 and S220 may be optional steps. For example, the frequency point priority information is pre-configured or agreed upon by the protocol. In this case, the terminal device directly obtains the frequency point priority information, and determines the frequency point priority of the target frequency point according to the frequency point priority information.
Optionally, in some embodiments, in a case that the target frequency point is the serving cell frequency point, the frequency point priority information is used to indicate that the frequency point priority of the serving cell frequency point is highest or lowest.
Optionally, in some embodiments, in a case that the target frequency point is at least one adjacent frequency associated with the serving cell, each adjacent frequency in the at least one adjacent frequency is configured with respective frequency point priority information, where the frequency point priority information is used to indicate that a frequency point priority of the corresponding adjacent frequency is highest or lowest. That is, each of the at least one neighbor associated with the serving cell is independently configured with frequency point priority information, e.g., as shown in table 2 below.
TABLE 2
Figure PCTCN2020141447-APPB-000002
Optionally, in some embodiments, in a case that the target frequency point is at least one neighbor frequency associated with the serving cell, all the neighbor frequencies in the at least one neighbor frequency are configured with one piece of common frequency point priority information, where the frequency point priority information is used to indicate that the frequency point priority of the at least one neighbor frequency is highest or lowest. That is, all neighbors associated with the serving cell are configured with one common frequency point priority information, e.g., as shown in table 3 below.
TABLE 3 Table 3
Figure PCTCN2020141447-APPB-000003
Optionally, in some embodiments, in a case that the target frequency point is at least one adjacent frequency associated with the serving cell, a part of adjacent frequencies in the at least one adjacent frequency are configured with one common frequency point priority information, and each of another part of adjacent frequencies in the at least one adjacent frequency is configured with the respective frequency point priority information, where the frequency point priority information is used to indicate that the frequency point priority of the corresponding adjacent frequency is highest or lowest. That is, a portion of the neighbors associated with the serving cell independently configure frequency point priority information, while another portion of the neighbors are associated with a common set of frequency point priority information, e.g., as shown in table 4 below.
TABLE 4 Table 4
Figure PCTCN2020141447-APPB-000004
Optionally, in some embodiments, in a case that the target frequency point is the serving cell frequency point and the at least one neighboring frequency, the serving cell frequency point and the at least one neighboring frequency are configured with a common frequency point priority information, where the frequency point priority information is used to indicate that the frequency point priorities of the serving cell frequency point and the at least one neighboring frequency are the highest or the lowest. That is, the serving cell frequency points and their neighbors together correlate to a common frequency point priority information, e.g., as shown in table 5 below.
TABLE 5

Optionally, in some embodiments, in a case that the target frequency point is the serving cell frequency point and the at least one neighboring frequency, a part of the at least one neighboring frequency and the serving cell frequency point are configured with one piece of common frequency point priority information, and each of the other part of the at least one neighboring frequency is configured with the respective frequency point priority information, where the frequency point priority information is used to indicate that the frequency point priority of the corresponding frequency point is highest or lowest. That is, the serving cell frequency point and a part of the neighboring frequency points are associated with one common frequency point priority information, and another part of the neighboring frequency points are respectively associated with one independent frequency point priority information, for example, as shown in the following table 6.
TABLE 6
Figure PCTCN2020141447-APPB-000006
Optionally, in some embodiments, in a case that the target frequency point is the serving cell frequency point and the at least one neighbor frequency, a part of the at least one neighbor frequency and the serving cell frequency point are configured with one common frequency point priority information, and another part of the at least one neighbor frequency is configured with another common frequency point priority information, where the frequency point priority information is used to indicate that a frequency point priority of the corresponding frequency point is highest or lowest. That is, the serving cell frequency point and a part of the neighboring frequency points are associated with one common frequency point priority information, and another part of the neighboring frequency points are associated with one common frequency point priority information, for example, as shown in the following table 7.

Figure PCTCN2020141447-APPB-000007
In tables 2 to 7, M or N is a positive integer of 1 or more.
Optionally, in some embodiments, the frequency point priority information occupies at least one bit, and a value of the at least one bit is used to indicate that the frequency point priority of the corresponding frequency point is highest or lowest. That is, the frequency point priority information may be configured in an explicit manner. For example, the frequency point priority information corresponds to a frequency point of the serving cell, and the frequency point priority information occupies 1 bit, wherein a bit value of 0 is used for indicating that the frequency point priority of the frequency point of the serving cell is highest, and a bit value of 1 is used for indicating that the frequency point priority of the frequency point of the serving cell is lowest; or vice versa.
Optionally, in other embodiments, the frequency point priority information is a feature parameter, and whether the terminal device configures or acquires the feature parameter is used to indicate that the frequency point priority of the corresponding frequency point is highest or lowest. That is, the frequency point priority information may be implicitly configured. For example, the frequency point priority information corresponds to a frequency point of the serving cell, and the terminal device configures or acquires the characteristic parameter for indicating that the frequency point of the serving cell has the highest priority, and the terminal device does not configure or acquire the characteristic parameter for indicating that the frequency point of the serving cell has the lowest priority; or vice versa.
Optionally, the characteristic parameter includes, but is not limited to, at least one of:

whether the terminal is allowed to initiate indication information of a network authentication request in a service network under the condition that the maintained SNPN or PLMN network identifier used for the service network authentication is not matched with any SNPN or PLMN network identifier broadcasted by cell system information;
whether the terminal is allowed to access through the service network and obtain the indication information of the subscription information;
allowing the terminal to access through a service network and acquiring group identification information of subscription information;
indication information of whether PLMN, SNPN, access control related network identity, CAG or temporary network identity allows emergency communication.
It should be appreciated that the access control related network identity is similar, i.e. has the same actual meaning, as the PLMN ID or the SNPN ID, but the length of the access control related network identity may be different from the PLMN ID or the SNPN ID. Similarly, the temporary network identity is similar to, i.e. in the same sense as, the PLMN ID or SNPN ID, except that it is a temporary identity of the PLMN or SNPN.
It should be noted that, in the information included in the feature parameter, the service network may be a current network, for example, an NPN network deployed by a third party entity, or an NPN network deployed by an operator.

PLMN or SNPN granularity, CAG granularity, cell granularity, access control related network identity granularity, temporary network identity granularity.
That is, "group identification information allowing the terminal to authenticate through the service network" may also include at least one of the following configuration granularities:
PLMN or SNPN granularity, CAG granularity, cell granularity, access control related network identity granularity, temporary network identity granularity.
That is, "whether the terminal is allowed to initiate a network authentication request at the serving network in case that the maintained SNPN or PLMN network identification for serving network authentication use does not match any SNPN or PLMN network identification of the cell system information broadcast" may also include at least one of the following configuration granularities:
PLMN or SNPN granularity, CAG granularity, cell granularity, access control related network identity granularity, temporary network identity granularity.
That is, the "indication information whether the terminal is allowed to access through the service network and acquire the subscription information" may also include at least one of the following configuration granularities:
PLMN or SNPN granularity, CAG granularity, cell granularity, access control related network identity granularity, temporary network identity granularity.
That is, the "group identification information allowing the terminal to access and acquire subscription information through the service network" may also include at least one of the following configuration granularities:
PLMN or SNPN granularity, CAG granularity, cell granularity, access control related network identity granularity, temporary network identity granularity.
That is, "PLMN, SNPN, CAG or temporary network identification indication of whether emergency communication is allowed" may also include at least one of the following configuration granularities:
PLMN or SNPN granularity, CAG granularity, cell granularity, access control related network identity granularity, temporary network identity granularity.
As one example, feature parameter 1: PLMN list configuration information or SNPN list configuration information or access control related network identification list configuration information or temporary network identification list configuration information; characteristic parameter 2: indication information whether the terminal is allowed to authenticate through the service network; characteristic parameter 3: group identification information allowing the terminal to authenticate through the service network; characteristic parameter 4: whether the terminal is allowed to initiate indication information of a network authentication request in a service network under the condition that the maintained SNPN or PLMN network identifier used for the service network authentication is not matched with any SNPN or PLMN network identifier broadcasted by cell system information; characteristic parameter 5: whether the terminal is allowed to access through the service network and obtain the indication information of the subscription information; characteristic parameters 6: allowing the terminal to access through a service network and acquiring group identification information of subscription information; characteristic parameters 7: indication information of whether PLMN, SNPN, access control related network identity, CAG or temporary network identity allows emergency communication. For example, an alternative cell granularity configuration format may be shown in table 8, where, since feature parameter 1 is a cell granularity configuration, feature parameter 2/3/4/5/6/7 is juxtaposed with feature parameter 1, and feature parameter 2/3/4/5/6/7 is a cell granularity configuration. As another example, an alternative PLMN/SNPN/access control related network identity/temporary network identity granularity configuration format may be as shown in table 9, where the characteristic parameter 2/3/4/5/6/7 is the next level association configuration of characteristic parameter 1, and thus the characteristic parameter 2/3/4/5/6/7 is the PLMN/SNPN granularity configuration. As another example, an alternative CAG granularity configuration format may be as shown in table 10, wherein feature parameter 2/3/4/5/6/7 is the next level of associated configuration of CAG information associated with feature parameter 1, and thus feature parameter 2/3/4/5/6/7 is the configuration of CAG granularity.

It should be noted that: one or more items of the validity configuration information may be parallel relationship or have a superior-inferior relationship when configured, which is not limited in this application.
For example, the cell identity list configuration and the TA list configuration may be in a side-by-side relationship, as shown in table 11.

For another example, the relationship between the cell identifier list configuration and the beam identifier list configuration is a superior-inferior relationship, and the beam identifier list configuration of the cell can be configured only if the cell identifier list configuration is configured first, as shown in table 12.
