The following description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be made with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without undue burden from the present disclosure, are within the scope of the present disclosure.

Currently, in order to better understand the performance of a mobile network, a mobile network constructor or a network operator needs to collect a series of measurement quantities reflecting the performance of the network, such as the quality of downlink signals and the interference quantity, and adjust the deployment of mobile network equipment, the strength of signals, the angle setting of antennas, and the like according to the measurement quantities reflecting the performance of the network so as to improve the performance of the mobile network and the satisfaction of users. In the conventional technology, the above-mentioned measurement quantity reflecting the network performance is generally collected by a mobile network constructor or a network operator driving a car along a fixed line to perform drive test. However, as the scale of the mobile network is increased, the drive test performed by driving the automobile is time-consuming and labor-consuming, which is not beneficial to timely adjusting network deployment, and also consumes great cost.

Based on this, in the related art, minimization of Drive Tests (MDT) are generally employed to collect measurements reflecting network performance. The MDT enables a plurality of terminal devices to report the measurement quantity which reflects the network performance and is acquired by the terminal devices under the condition of acquiring the permission of the terminal devices, so that the network devices can quickly acquire the measurement quantity which reflects the network performance in a target area on the premise of enough terminal quantity. Among them, MDTs include management-based MDTs (management-based MDTs) and signal-based MDTs (signaling-based MDTs). The MDT based on the signals is used for collecting the network performance of the terminal equipment in the target area.

The MDT includes frequency point measurements and idle mode measurements (idlemosmemount) of the legacy cell reselection mode. In conventional frequency point measurement based on cell reselection, the network device sends an MDT configuration file to the terminal device when the terminal device is in a connected state. And then, the terminal equipment completes MDT measurement according to the MDT configuration signaling in an idle state, records the measurement quantity and generates a measurement report. Subsequently, after the terminal device resumes the connection state, the recorded measurement report may be reported to the network device. The conventional frequency point measurement based on cell reselection is time-consuming and labor-consuming because the network equipment needs to send a configuration file to the terminal equipment, the terminal equipment performs measurement and the terminal equipment sends a measurement report to the network equipment. To increase throughput and save time overhead at MDT, secondary nodes are added to the terminal device quickly and the throughput is increased, and an idle mode measurement mechanism may be used for MDT. When idle mode measurement is performed, the network device sends configuration information to the terminal device in radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) release information or system information block (System Information Block, SIB) broadcast, and then the terminal device performs idle mode measurement when in idle state according to frequency point information to be measured in the configuration information.

However, since the terminal device does not distinguish whether the measurement quantity is obtained by the idle mode measurement or the frequency point measurement in the conventional cell reselection mode when the measurement quantity is recorded and the measurement report is generated, when the measurement quantity of the idle mode measurement of the specific frequency point does not exist in the measurement report, the network device cannot determine the reason of the measurement quantity of the idle mode measurement of the specific frequency point which does not exist in the measurement report, and thus unnecessary network deployment optimization may be caused.

Several five reasons for the measurement quantity that causes no idle state mode measurement to be present in the measurement report are provided below.

The first reason is: the idle state mode measurement duration (T331) timer times out, resulting in the idle state mode measurement being fully terminated.

The second reason is: when the network device sets configuration information for the terminal device, the current resident cell of the terminal device is not matched with the effective area in the configuration information, so that the idle state mode measurement is completely terminated.

Third reason is: the idle state mode measurement duration (T331) timer does not time out and the network device does not configure at least one active area for the terminal device in the radio resource control release information. If the terminal equipment reselects the cell, the terminal equipment updates the frequency point information of the idle state mode measurement according to the reselected new cell, thereby causing the update of the idle state mode measurement.

And fourth, after the terminal equipment recovers the connection state, re-receiving the radio resource control release information sent by the network equipment, wherein the radio resource control release information is used for indicating to update the frequency point information of the idle state mode measurement, thereby causing the update of the idle state mode measurement.

Fifth, the signal quality of a cell on a specific frequency point is poor.

It should be noted that only when the signal quality of the cell on the target frequency point is poor, so that there is no measurement quantity of idle mode measurement in the measurement report, the mobile network constructor or the network operator needs to perform necessary optimization on the network deployment. Other reasons result in the absence of measurement quantities for idle mode measurements in the measurement report, the mobile network constructor or the network operator does not have to optimize the network deployment.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a communication method and apparatus, by adding information to a measurement report to indicate whether there is a measurement quantity of idle mode measurement in a measurement report of a network device, or to indicate whether a frequency point of idle mode measurement in the measurement report and/or a cell of idle mode measurement are updated, so that the network device determines a cause of the measurement quantity of idle mode measurement that does not include a specific frequency point in the measurement report, and thus unnecessary network deployment optimization caused by a non-signal quality cause is avoided.

It should be noted that the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application may be applied to various communication systems, for example: global system for mobile communications (Global System of Mobile communication, GSM), code division multiple access (Code Division Multiple Access, CDMA) system, wideband code division multiple access (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, WCDMA) system, general packet Radio service (General Packet Radio Service, GPRS), long term evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE) system, LTE frequency division duplex (Frequency Division Duplex, FDD) system, LTE time division duplex (Time Division Duplex, TDD) system, long term evolution advanced (Advanced long term evolution, LTE-a) system, new Radio (NR) system, evolution system of NR system, LTE (LTE-based access to unlicensed spectrum, LTE-U) system on unlicensed band, NR (NR-based access to unlicensed spectrum, NR-U) system on unlicensed band, universal mobile communication system (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System, UMTS), universal internet microwave access (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, wiMAX) communication system, wireless local area network (Wireless Local Area Networks, WLAN), wireless fidelity (Wireless Fidelity, wiFi), next generation communication system or other communication system, etc.

The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with specific embodiments by taking a terminal device and a network device as examples. The following embodiments may be combined with each other, and some embodiments may not be repeated for the same or similar concepts or processes.

Fig. 2 is a flow chart of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present application. The implementation main body of the embodiment of the application is terminal equipment and network equipment, and relates to a specific process that the terminal equipment sends a measurement report to the network equipment. As shown in fig. 2, the method includes:

s201, the terminal equipment determines the recorded measurement report.

In the embodiment of the application, after the terminal device finishes the measurement, the terminal device may trigger to record the measurement quantity, and further determine the recorded measurement report based on the recorded measurement quantity.

The measurement report may include a measurement quantity reflecting the network performance, and the embodiment of the application does not limit the type of the measurement report, and may be a measurement report of MDT. The measurement report of the MDT may include a measurement quantity of idle mode measurement and a measurement quantity of non-idle mode measurement.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, how the terminal device triggers to record the measurement quantity is not limited, and in some embodiments, the terminal device may record the measured measurement quantity at intervals in a periodic manner. The terminal device records the measured measurement quantity, for example, once every 5 seconds.

In other embodiments, the terminal device may use an event triggering manner, and when the terminal device detects a preset event, a measured measurement may be recorded. For example, the event type may be preset to be eventL1, and when the terminal device detects that the condition indicated by eventL1 is satisfied, the terminal device records the measurement amount at a prescribed time interval.

S202, the terminal equipment sends a measurement report to the network equipment, wherein the measurement report contains first information or second information, the first information is used for indicating whether the measurement report contains relevant information of measurement quantity of idle state mode measurement, and the second information is used for indicating whether a frequency point of idle state mode measurement and/or a cell of idle state mode measurement in the measurement report changes and updates relevant information.

In this step, after the terminal device records the logged measurement report, the measurement report including the first information or the second information may be sent to the network device, where the first information indicates whether the measurement report includes the measurement quantity of the idle mode measurement, or the second information indicates whether the frequency point of the idle mode measurement and/or the cell of the idle mode measurement in the measurement report is updated.

First, the first information will be described.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the first information may be used to indicate whether the measurement report includes the measurement quantity of the idle mode measurement, or may be used to indicate whether the measurement result corresponding to at least one time period in the measurement report includes the measurement quantity of the idle mode measurement, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

It should be understood that the embodiment of the present application also does not limit how to indicate, by the first information, whether the measurement report includes the measurement quantity of the idle mode measurement. In some embodiments, the first information comprises a first identification for characterizing that the terminal device is not performing idle state mode measurements and/or a second identification for characterizing that the terminal device is performing idle state mode measurements.

For example, the first identifier and the second identifier may include bit information, if the bit information of the first identifier is 1, it indicates that the terminal device does not perform idle mode measurement, and if the bit information of the first identifier is 0, it indicates that the terminal device performs idle mode measurement; correspondingly, if the bit information of the second identifier is 1, the terminal equipment is indicated to execute idle state mode measurement, and if the bit information of the second identifier is 0, the terminal equipment is indicated to not execute idle state mode measurement.

In this embodiment of the present application, when the measurement report does not include the measurement quantity of idle mode measurement, the measurement report may further include third information, where the third information may be used to assist in determining a reason why the measurement report does not include the measurement quantity of idle mode measurement, and may also be used to assist in determining a reason why the measurement result corresponding to at least one time slot in the measurement report does not include the measurement quantity of idle mode measurement.

In some embodiments, the time-out of the specified measurement duration of the idle mode measurement and/or the mismatch between the current camping cell of the terminal device and at least one active area of the idle mode measurement may result in the idle mode measurement being completely terminated, which may result in the measurement report not including the measurement quantity of the idle mode measurement. Correspondingly, third information may be included in the measurement report, where the third information is used to assist in determining a reason for the measurement report not including the measurement quantity of the idle mode measurement.

For example, the third information may include a specified measurement duration and/or at least one active area of the idle mode measurement. After the network device obtains the third information, whether the measurement report does not contain the reason of the measurement quantity of the idle state mode measurement can be determined by determining whether the specified measurement duration of the idle state mode measurement is overtime and/or determining whether the current residence cell of the terminal device is matched with at least one effective area of the idle state mode measurement.

It should be appreciated that the specified measurement duration of the idle state mode measurement may be determined by an idle state mode measurement duration (T331) timer, and the at least one active area may be at least one area corresponding to a frequency point or a physical-layer Cell identity (PCI) in an active area list (validity area list) of the idle state mode measurement.

It should be noted that the first identifier and the second identifier may also be used to assist in confirming the reason that the measurement report does not include the measurement quantity of the idle mode measurement due to the complete termination of the idle mode measurement.

In an alternative embodiment, when the measurement report includes the measurement quantity of the idle mode measurement, corresponding to the first information, the measurement report may further include fourth information, where the fourth information is used to assist in determining a cause of the measurement report including the measurement quantity of the idle mode measurement. In some embodiments, the fourth information includes a specified measurement duration and/or at least one active area of the idle mode measurement.

Note that, the manner of determining the reason why the measurement report includes the measurement quantity of the idle mode measurement with the aid of the fourth information is similar to the manner of determining the reason why the measurement report does not include the measurement quantity of the idle mode measurement with the aid of the third information, and the third information may be referred to, and will not be described herein.

The second information is explained below.

In some embodiments, the terminal device updates the frequency point information of the idle mode measurement due to cell reselection or receiving the radio resource control release information sent by the network device, so that the idle mode measurement is updated, and thus the measurement amount of the idle mode measurement that is recorded once may not be recorded in the measurement report. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the measurement report may include second information, where the second information is used to indicate whether the frequency point of the idle mode measurement and/or the cell of the idle mode measurement in the measurement report are updated, so as to assist the network device in determining a reason that the measurement report does not include the measurement quantity of the idle mode measurement that is recorded.

In some embodiments, the second information may further include updated frequency point information and/or a timestamp of the idle state mode measurement, where the timestamp is used to characterize a starting time of the idle state mode measurement by the terminal device according to the configuration of the idle state mode measurement after updating or time information of the frequency point information of the idle state mode measurement after updating is received.

The terminal device may add an identifier to a measurement result corresponding to at least one time period in the measurement report, may add a sequence number of the measurement result corresponding to the start time period in the measurement report, and may add a timestamp to the measurement report, so as to indicate a start time of idle mode measurement performed by the terminal device according to the updated idle mode measurement configuration or time information of receiving frequency point information of the updated idle mode measurement. In addition, the second information may further include a specified measurement duration corresponding to the updated idle state mode measurement and/or at least one effective area corresponding to the updated idle state mode measurement.

In other embodiments, the second information includes first indication information, where the first indication information is used to indicate frequency point information of idle mode measurement before updating. The network device may determine, by the frequency point information of the idle state mode measurement before update indicated by the first indication information, that the reason why the measurement quantity of the idle state mode measurement is not included in the measurement report is that the frequency point information of the idle state mode measurement is updated.

Optionally, the third information further includes information of at least one first cell, where the first cell stops recording the measurement quantity in the measurement report after the frequency point information measured in the idle state mode is updated. The information of the first cell comprises an identification of the first cell and/or frequency point information corresponding to the first cell.

In the application, by adding the second information to the measurement report, the network device can determine the reason for the measurement quantity of the idle mode measurement without the specific frequency point in the measurement report according to the second information, so that the network deployment optimization is performed only when the cell signal quality on the specific frequency point is poor and the measurement quantity of the idle mode measurement is not included in the measurement report, and the network deployment optimization is not performed when the measurement quantity of the idle mode measurement is not included in the measurement report caused by other reasons, thereby avoiding unnecessary network deployment optimization.

And S203, according to the first information or the second information, the network equipment determines the network performance of the area corresponding to the measurement report.

In this step, after the network device receives the measurement report, the network device may determine the network performance of the area corresponding to the measurement report according to the first information or the second information.

In some embodiments, when the measurement report does not include the measurement quantity of the idle mode measurement of the specific frequency point, the network device may determine, according to the first information or the second information, a cause of the measurement quantity of the idle mode measurement of the specific frequency point not included in the measurement report, and only when the network device determines that the measurement quantity of the idle mode measurement of the specific frequency point not included in the measurement report is caused by poor signal quality of the cell of the specific frequency point, the network device may determine that the network performance of the cell of the specific frequency point is poor, and network deployment optimization is required.

In some embodiments, the measurement report may also flag the measurement quantity of idle mode measurements therein so that the network device may quickly determine the measurement quantity of idle mode measurements in the measurement report.

Three ways of marking the measurement quantities of idle state mode measurements in the measurement report are provided below.

In a first way, the measurement quantities of idle mode measurements in the measurement report are carried in the same data block. Since the measurement amounts of idle mode measurement are carried in one data block alone, the network device can directly confirm all the measurement amounts in the data block as the measurement amounts of idle mode measurement.

In the second mode, the measurement quantity in the measurement report corresponds to the marking information, and the marking information is used for representing that the measurement quantity corresponding to the marking information is the measurement quantity measured in the idle state or the measurement quantity measured in the non-idle state.
