For ease of understanding, some of the following descriptions are directed to embodiments of the present application:

1. basic concepts of DC and CA.

DC refers to resources that provide two network nodes for a terminal, one of which is called a Master Node (MN) and the other of which is called a Secondary Node (SN). At each network node, a CA is used, i.e. a series of serving cells, also called cell groups (cell groups), controlled by the network node are configured for the terminal. The MN-controlled cell group is the primary cell group (Master Cell Group, MCG) and the SN-controlled cell group is the secondary cell group (Secondary Cell Group, SCG). Each Cell group contains a Special Cell (SpCell) and a series of Secondary cells (scells). The special Cell is called a Primary Cell (PCell) in the MCG, and the special Cell is called a Primary secondary Cell (Primary Secondary Cell, PSCell) in the SCG. SpCell uses the primary carrier in one cell group, while other secondary cells use the secondary carrier, and resource scheduling within one cell group is performed by SpCell.

2. Idle or inactive measurements.

The network side device may instruct the terminal to perform measurements on carriers that may be configured as DC, CA when in a non-connected state (including idle and inactive states), and during connection setup/restoration or after entering a connected state, the terminal may instruct it to have an early measurement result available and then report the measurement result to the network side device when the network side device requests reporting of the early measurement result. The network side device may configure the UE with early measurements, such as the carrier/cell list to be measured, the measurement duration, etc., through proprietary signaling, such as RRC connection release (Connection Release), or in a system broadcast message. The Early measurement enables the network side equipment to configure DC and CA for the terminal according to the measurement result reported by the terminal immediately after the terminal enters a connection state, and the establishment time delay of DC/CA is effectively shortened.

The measurement report processing method provided by the embodiment of the application is described in detail below through some embodiments and application scenes thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a measurement report processing method, as shown in fig. 2, including:

step 201, the terminal determines a measurement behavior, wherein the measurement behavior comprises whether to execute target measurement;

the first timer times out;

the first timer is stopped;

the terminal initiates a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection establishment;

the terminal initiates RRC connection recovery;

the terminal enters an RRC connected state.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first timer may be understood as a timer T331, and the first measurement may be referred to as an idle measurement or an inactive measurement, or may be referred to as an early measurement in a non-connected state. The second measurement may be understood as an enhanced measurement, which may also be referred to as an enhanced measurement of the first measurement or the early measurement, i.e. a measurement performed at a time other than the measurement time corresponding to the first measurement, and the first measurement result corresponding to the first measurement and the second measurement result corresponding to the second measurement are used for the same function. For example, the first measurement result and the second measurement result may be used to determine at least one of configuration information of carrier aggregation and configuration information of dual connectivity. The measurement configuration parameters used for the second measurement may be the same as or different from the measurement configuration parameters of the first measurement, and are not further limited herein. In some embodiments, the enhanced measurement described above may be linked as an extension in the time dimension or a change in measurement timing such that the accuracy or stability of the measurement results is enhanced.

It should be understood that the terminal may first determine the measurement behavior, thereby determining whether to perform the first measurement, whether to perform the second measurement, and in case it is determined that the first measurement is performed, the above-described first measurement may be performed while the terminal is in a non-connected state and the first timer is operated, and in case it is determined that the second measurement is performed, the above-described second measurement may be performed while the above-described preset condition is satisfied.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the measurement behavior may be determined based on the indication of the network side device, or may be determined according to a preset rule.

Optionally, in some embodiments, before the terminal determines the measurement behavior, the method further includes:

the terminal receives target configuration from network side equipment, wherein the target configuration is carried by special signaling or broadcast message;

and the terminal determines measurement behaviors according to the target configuration.

In the embodiment of the application, the network side equipment indicates the measurement behavior of the terminal. Specifically, the network side device may determine whether the terminal performs the second measurement according to the measurement environment of the terminal, for example, according to whether the measurement frequency point belonging to FR2 is included. Therefore, the terminal can flexibly instruct the terminal to execute corresponding measurement behaviors according to actual conditions so as to meet measurement requirements, and unnecessary increase of terminal power consumption or signaling overhead caused by the fact that the measurement executed by the terminal does not meet the requirements of a network side can be avoided. In addition, the measurement of the terminal can be reduced under the condition of meeting the measurement requirement, so that the loss of electric energy is saved.

It should be noted that, the target configuration may be indicated implicitly or explicitly. For example, in some embodiments, the determining, by the terminal, measurement behavior according to the target configuration includes:

in the event that the target configuration includes measurement configuration parameters associated with the second measurement, the terminal determines to perform the second measurement.

In some embodiments, the target configuration comprises at least one of:

first indication information for indicating whether to perform the first measurement;

second indication information for indicating whether to perform the second measurement;

third indication information for indicating any one of: performing the first measurement and the second measurement, performing at least one of the first measurement and the second measurement, performing a higher priority measurement of the first measurement and the second measurement, and not performing the first measurement and the second measurement.

In the embodiment of the application, the network side equipment can send the target configuration through a broadcast message or a special signaling, i.e. the target configuration can be carried through the broadcast message or the special signaling. In some embodiments, it may be assumed that the priority of the first measurement is higher than the priority of the second measurement, at which time the priority of the first measurement corresponding to the first measurement is higher than the priority of the second measurement corresponding to the second measurement.

Alternatively, in some embodiments, whether to perform the first measurement and the second measurement may be indicated by the first indication information and the second indication information, respectively. Wherein the first indication information and the second indication information may be one or more bits, e.g. indicating that the first measurement is performed when the first indication information is a first value; when the first indication information is the second value, it means that the first measurement is not performed. When the second indication information is a third value, the second measurement is performed; when the second indication information is a fourth value, it means that the second measurement is not performed. For example, in some embodiments, whether to perform the first measurement may be indicated by one bit and whether to perform the second measurement may be indicated by another bit. Wherein, when the value of the bit is 0, it means that the corresponding measurement is not performed, and when the value of the bit is 1, it means that the corresponding measurement is performed.

Alternatively, in some embodiments, the execution rules of the first measurement and the second measurement may be indicated by the third indication information. Wherein the third indication information may be one or more bits, and different execution rules are represented by different values, for example, when the third indication information is a fifth value, it is represented that the first measurement and the second measurement are executed, or at least one of the first measurement and the second measurement is executed, or a measurement with a higher priority in the first measurement and the second measurement is executed; when the third indication information is a sixth value, it means that the first measurement and the second measurement are not performed.

For another example, in some embodiments, the execution rules of the first and second measurements may be indicated jointly by two bits. Wherein the first measurement and the second measurement are not performed when the value of the two bits is 00, at least one of the first measurement and the second measurement is performed when the value of the two bits is 01, the measurement with higher priority among the first measurement and the second measurement is performed when the value of the two bits is 10, and the first measurement and the second measurement are performed when the value of the two bits is 01.

If the first indication information and the second indication information are appointed, or the third indication information is appointed to indicate the execution behaviors of the first measurement and the second measurement, the network side device does not send the corresponding indication information, which indicates that the corresponding measurement is not required to be executed, for example, the first indication information is not sent, and the first measurement is not required to be executed.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the determining, by the terminal, a measurement behavior includes:

the terminal determines measurement behaviors according to target rules, wherein the target rules comprise at least one of the following:

in the case that the terminal determines not to perform the second measurement, performing the first measurement;

in the case that the terminal determines to perform the second measurement, not performing the first measurement;

executing first measurement on a first preset frequency point under the condition that the frequency point to be measured comprises the first preset frequency point related to the first measurement;

under the condition that the frequency point to be measured comprises a second preset frequency point associated with second measurement, the first measurement is not executed on the second preset frequency point;

executing the second measurement under the condition that the terminal executes the first measurement and the measurement frequency point of the first measurement comprises a first measurement frequency point, wherein the first measurement frequency point is a frequency point belonging to a preset frequency range;

Executing the second measurement under the condition that the terminal executes the first measurement and the measurement result corresponding to the first measurement is smaller than or equal to a first preset value;

executing the second measurement under the condition that the terminal executes the first measurement and the fluctuation value of the measurement result corresponding to the first measurement is larger than or equal to a second preset value;

performing the second measurement if the first measurement is not performed;

in case of failure of the result of the first measurement, performing a second measurement;

and executing the second measurement under the condition that the frequency point to be measured comprises a second preset frequency point associated with the second measurement.

In the embodiment of the application, the frequency point to be measured can be understood as the frequency point to be measured determined by the network side equipment or the terminal, and the frequency point to be measured is associated with CA configuration and DC configuration. Specifically, one or more frequency points may be included. The target rule may be agreed by a protocol, or configured by a network side device.

It should be appreciated that the above-mentioned fluctuation value may be an index value calculated based on a difference value or a mean square error or a discrete value or the like in a different manner, for representing the stability of the measurement result of the first measurement. Taking the difference as an example, the fluctuation value may be understood as a difference between measurement results corresponding to two adjacent first measurements within a certain time. The difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the measurement results corresponding to the first measurement for a plurality of times within a period of time can also be used. The larger the fluctuation value is, the worse the stability of the first measurement result is, that is, the worse the reliability of the measurement result corresponding to the first measurement is, the reliability of the CA and DC configuration needs to be ensured by the second measurement.

It should be noted that, the measurement result is less than or equal to the first preset value, and it is understood that the measurement result is less than or equal to the first preset value, and specifically, the measurement result may include reference signal received power (Reference Signal Received Power, RSRP) and/. Or reference signal received quality (Reference Signal Received Quality, RSRQ), etc., which are not limited herein.

Further, in some embodiments, after the measuring act includes performing a target measurement, the terminal determines the measuring act according to target information, the method further includes:

the terminal performs the target measurement.

In an embodiment of the present application, when the target measurement includes the second measurement, the terminal performing the target measurement includes:

and the terminal executes the second measurement according to the measurement configuration parameter associated with the second measurement, wherein the measurement configuration parameter associated with the second measurement is the same as or different from the measurement configuration parameter associated with the first measurement.

It should be appreciated that the measurement configuration parameters described above may be configured by the network side device, and in some embodiments, when a portion of the measurement configuration parameters are configured by the network side device, another portion of the measurement configuration parameters may refer to the measurement configuration parameters associated with the first measurement.

Optionally, in some embodiments, the measurement configuration parameters may include at least one of: the method comprises the steps of measuring duration, measuring frequency points, a measuring cell list under each measuring frequency point and a measuring threshold, wherein the measuring threshold is used for representing a threshold value for triggering the second measurement.

In the embodiment of the present application, the measurement duration refers to a duration for performing the second measurement; the measurement frequency point can be understood as a frequency point to be measured in the second measurement; the list of measurement cells under each measurement frequency point may be understood as a list of cells that need to be measured for each measurement frequency point when performing the second measurement; the measurement threshold is used for comparing with a first measurement result corresponding to the first measurement, for example, when the first measurement result corresponding to the first measurement is smaller than the measurement threshold, the second measurement may be triggered.

Optionally, in some embodiments, in the case that the target measurement includes the second measurement, the method further comprises:

under the condition that the preset condition is met, the terminal starts, restarts or does not stop a target timer; wherein the terminal is allowed to stop the second measurement in case the target timer is stopped or times out.

In the embodiment of the present application, the target timer is a first timer or a new second timer, and the second timer may be understood as a newly defined timer, which is different from the T331 timer.

Optionally, in the case that the target timer is the first timer and the preset condition is met, the terminal may start, restart or not stop the first timer, so that the terminal performs the first measurement or the second measurement, for example, after the preset condition is met, if the terminal is still in the non-connected state, the terminal continues to perform the first measurement and performs the second measurement after entering the connected state; after the preset condition is met, if the terminal is in a connected state, the terminal executes second measurement. In the case that the target timer is the second timer and the preset condition is satisfied, the terminal may start or restart the second timer, so that the terminal performs the second measurement. For example, in some embodiments, the terminal performs the second measurement during the run of the target timer in the connected state.

It will be appreciated that in case the target timer expires or expires, the terminal is allowed to cease the second measurement. I.e. the terminal may stop the second measurement, and in particular whether to stop the second measurement may be decided by the terminal itself.

It should be noted that, the condition for stopping the target timer may be set according to actual needs, for example, in some embodiments, the stopping condition of the target timer includes at least one of the following:

the terminal receives a request message from a network side device, wherein the request message is used for requesting the terminal to report a measurement result corresponding to the first measurement;

the terminal receives fourth indication information from the network side equipment, wherein the fourth indication information is used for indicating the terminal to stop the second measurement;

and the terminal reports the measurement result corresponding to the second measurement.

For a better understanding of the present application, the following description is given by way of some examples.

In some embodiments, the Idle state terminal performs the second measurement according to the broadcast message. The method specifically comprises the following steps:

step 1, a terminal is in an idle state and resides in a cell 1;

the UE reads the configuration in the broadcast message of cell 1, e.g. system information block 1 (System Information Block, SIB 1), or the terminal performs one of the following based on predefined rules:

if the terminal is instructed to make the second measurement in SIB1 (e.g., SIB1 contains an idlemodemearsurementnr and a measIdleDuration configuration is received, allowing a timer for the second measurement to be started), the terminal makes the first measurement;

If there is a second measurement configuration in SIB1 (e.g., SIB1 contains an idlemodulemearsubtentnr and contains configuration parameters corresponding to the enhanced measurement), the terminal must perform the second measurement;

if the terminal performs the first measurement and includes the FR2 measurement frequency point (for example, the SIB1 includes idleModeMearsurementsNR, measIdleCarrierListNR in which the FR2 measurement frequency point exists), the terminal performs the second measurement;

if the terminal performs the first measurement, and the measurement result corresponding to the first measurement is lower than a certain threshold (for example, in measReportIdleNR, the measurement result of the cell in the measresultserving cell, such as RSRP or RSRQ value is lower than a certain threshold), the terminal performs the second measurement;

if the terminal performs the first measurement and the fluctuation of the measurement result corresponding to the first measurement exceeds a certain threshold (for example, in measReportIdleNR, the fluctuation of the cell measurement result in the measresultserving cell, such as RSRP or RSRQ value, is higher than a certain threshold), the terminal performs the enhanced measurement.

In some embodiments, the terminal determines a duration for performing the second measurement. The method specifically comprises the following steps:

step 1, a terminal receives second measured time length information; the duration information is received through broadcast messages or special signaling, or is based on protocol conventions;

Step 2, the terminal initiates an RRC connection establishment request;

step 3, the terminal receives the RRC connection setup message, stops T331 (if running), and starts a second timer; optionally, determining whether to start the second timer is based on indication information in the RRC connection setup message.

And step 4, if the second timer is overtime, the terminal stops the second measurement. During operation of the second timer, the terminal stops the enhanced measurement if at least one of the following conditions is met:

the network side equipment requests the terminal to report the first measurement;
