The following description is presented to enable one skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of the present application.

1. Double connection (Dual Connectivity DC)

Dual Connectivity refers to the network providing resources of two network nodes/base stations (access network elements) for the UE, one of which is called Master Node (MN) and the other is called Secondary Node (SN). Each network node may use one cell to serve the UE; carrier aggregation (Carrier Aggregation, CA) technology is also used, i.e. the UE is configured with a plurality of serving cells controlled by the node. One or more cells controlled by one node constitute a Cell Group (CG). The master node MN controls the master cell group (Master Cell Group, MCG) and the secondary node SN controls the secondary cell group (S econdary Cell Group, SCG). Each Cell group contains a Special Cell (SpCell) and M Secondary cells (Scell), where M currently takes the value of [0,31], possibly extended later. 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.

In NR, if the UE applies the SCG configuration provided by NW and including the synchronization reconfiguration indication (ReconfigurationWithSync IE), and the UE successfully completes RACH at the target PSCell, then PSCell change is successfully performed for the UE.

2. Conditional primary and secondary cell change (Conditional PSCell Change, CPC) procedures.

The NetWork (NW) pre-configures CPC configuration for the dual connectivity UE, and the UE evaluates whether the execution condition is satisfied. Once the execution conditions are met, the UE will apply the preconfigured target secondary cell group (Secondary Cell Group, SCG) configuration, making PSCell changes.

(1) The CPC configuration includes:

execution conditions: is composed of N Measurement identities (Measurement ids). Each measurement identifier corresponds to a measurement event, and when the measurement result of the UE on the candidate Cell A meets the preset condition, the UE triggers the measurement event. When all Measurement events corresponding to N Measurement ids contained in one execution condition are triggered, the UE initiates a PSCell Change process to Change a service PSCell into Cell A, and CPC is triggered for short. In NR, N takes on a value of 1 or 2.

Configuration parameters/condition reconfiguration parameters of target SCG: in order to change the serving PSCell to Cell a, the UE needs to apply configuration parameters of SCGs including PSCell. In the NR, the reconfiguration parameter of the target SCG is carried by an RRC reconfiguration message containing a synchronization reconfiguration indication (ReconfigurationWithSync IE). The configuration includes an identification of the target PSCell, and the partial configuration may be provided by delta config (i.e. only providing parameters different from the service SCG).

CPC configuration ID: together, one execution condition and a set of configuration parameters of the target SCG may be used for CPC procedures for one candidate PSCell. If there are N candidate cells, N execution conditions and N groups of configuration parameters of the target SCG can be configured for the UE to evaluate simultaneously. And determining a final target PScell according to the evaluation result. A set of configuration parameters for a set of target SCGs and an execution condition for a PSCell are associated by CPC configuration identification; i.e. one execution condition and configuration parameters of a set of target SCGs associated to the same CPC configuration identity are for one candidate PSCell.

(2) In the configuration of CPC, the applied measurement id is notified to the UE by measuring the configuration parameters. The measurement configuration includes the following parameters:

object of measurement (Measurement Object, MO): namely the frequency point to be measured;

reporting configuration (Report Config): the triggering condition of the measurement event is included, i.e. it indicates that when the signal quality of the target PSCell meets what preset condition (determined by the type of measurement event and the threshold parameter), the corresponding measurement event is triggered. For example: the RSRP of the candidate PSCell is 3dB higher than that of the current serving PSCell and is triggered when it continues for 100 ms. (3 dB and 100ms are threshold parameters indicated in the reporting configuration);

Measurement id (measId): the measurement identity is used for associating an MO with an event trigger condition.

Thus, the execution condition of the CPC configuration is associated with the measurement configuration.

The following describes in detail, with reference to the attached drawings, a method for processing configuration information provided by the embodiment of the present application through some embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

As shown in fig. 2, the embodiment of the present application further provides a method for processing configuration information, including:

step 201: after the terminal performs primary and secondary cell change (PSCell change), the terminal deletes N groups of CPC configuration from the stored M groups of conditional primary and secondary cell change CPC configuration, wherein N is smaller than M;

wherein the N-group CPC configuration includes at least one of:

CPC configuration with changed associated measurement configuration;

the condition reconfiguration parameter (conditional reconfiguration) is configured by CPC in an incremental configuration mode, wherein the incremental configuration mode refers to a mode that network side equipment generates the condition reconfiguration parameter by taking source SCG as a reference; under the condition that the condition reconfiguration parameter adopts an incremental configuration mode, the UE uses the source SCG configuration as a reference to apply the condition reconfiguration parameter;

CPC configuration corresponding to the executed CPC.

In the embodiment of the present application, each set of CPC configurations includes: a CPC configuration identifier, an execution condition corresponding to the CPC configuration identifier, and a condition reconfiguration parameter corresponding to the CPC configuration identifier, where the condition reconfiguration parameter may also be described as a configuration parameter of the target secondary cell group SCG or a configuration parameter of the target PSCell. Optionally, the execution condition in the CPC configuration is a condition to which the condition reconfiguration parameter in the present CPC configuration is applied.

Taking the parameters in NR as examples:

the condReconfigid indicates a CPC configuration identity; condExecutionCond is used to configure execution conditions of PScell changes, and condRRCReconfig is used to configure configuration parameters of target SCG, i.e. condition reconfiguration parameters. The three parameters make up a set of CPC configurations. Signaling of NW configuration UE to add a set of CPC configurations is as follows:

optionally, the above conditional reconfiguration parameter includes an RRC reconfiguration parameter and an RRC connection reconfiguration parameter.

Optionally, the measurement configuration includes at least one of:

measuring an identification;

measuring the measurement object associated with the identification;

measurement reporting configuration associated with the measurement identifier.

Optionally, the measurement report is configured to indicate a triggering condition for executing CPC, that is, indicate that when the signal quality of the target PSCell meets what preset condition (determined by the type of measurement event and the threshold parameter), the corresponding measurement event is triggered.

In a specific embodiment of the present application, the measurement configuration is changed, that is, the measurement configuration (measurement object and/or measurement report configuration) corresponding to the same measurement identifier is changed before and after the primary and secondary cells are changed. For example, the measurement object corresponding to the measurement identifier 2 is the frequency point F2 before the primary and secondary cells are changed, and after the primary and secondary cells are changed, the measurement object corresponding to the measurement identifier 2 is changed to the frequency point F3, and then the CPC configuration associated with the measurement identifier 2 is deleted from the M sets of CPC configurations.

In the embodiment of the present application, the delta configuration means: the UE takes a source SCG configuration before PSCell change as a base line, and if the value of a certain parameter X is reconfigured in a target SCG configuration, the value of the parameter X is determined to be a newly configured value (namely, a base line parameter is replaced); if the value of the other parameter Y is not reconfigured, the parameter Y takes the value of the parameter Y in the baseline configuration, so the delta configuration mode can reduce the signaling overhead in the configuration.

The network side device may be the target secondary node SN or the primary node MN.

In the embodiment of the application, after the terminal changes the primary and secondary cells, the terminal deletes N groups of CPC configurations from the stored M groups of conditional primary and secondary cell change CPC configurations, wherein N is smaller than M, and the N groups of CPC configurations comprise at least one of the following items: CPC configuration with changed associated measurement configuration; CPC configuration of the incremental configuration mode is adopted for the included condition reconfiguration parameters; CPC configuration which is indicated by network side equipment and needs to be deleted; CPC configuration corresponding to the executed CPC. In the above process, the terminal deletes the N sets of CPC configurations meeting a certain condition, and screens out a part of still valid CPC configurations for use in the subsequent CPC process, so that after the primary and secondary cells are successfully changed, the terminal can continue to perform CPC evaluation based on the reserved CPC configurations (M-N sets of CPC configurations), without waiting for the network to reconfigure the CPC to the UE, thereby enabling the UE to be connected to the PSCell with good quality of service in time, and reducing signaling overhead of network reconfiguration CPC.

Optionally, in the method of the embodiment of the present application, after the terminal performs primary and secondary cell change, the method further includes:

and under the condition that the condition reconfiguration parameter in the CPC configuration does not indicate the terminal to release the source SCG configuration, determining that the condition reconfiguration parameter in the CPC configuration adopts an incremental configuration mode.

Optionally, in the case that the condition reconfiguration parameter in the CPC configuration does not indicate that the terminal releases the source SCG configuration, determining that the condition reconfiguration parameter in the CPC configuration adopts an incremental configuration mode includes:

under the condition that the condition reconfiguration parameter in the CPC configuration does not indicate the release source SCG configuration before the terminal applies the target SCG configuration, determining that the condition reconfiguration parameter in the CPC configuration adopts an incremental configuration mode.

Optionally, the method of the embodiment of the present application further includes:

and determining CPC configuration which is indicated by the network side equipment and needs to be deleted according to indication information in the condition reconfiguration parameters in the CPC configuration, wherein the indication information is used for indicating at least one of characteristics and identifications of the CPC configuration which needs to be deleted or reserved.

Optionally, the conditional reconfiguration parameter in the CPC configuration is carried by an RRC reconfiguration message or an RRC connection reconfiguration message.

Optionally, the features of the CPC configuration include at least one of:

CPC configuration of inter-SN between auxiliary nodes, wherein the condition reconfiguration parameters in the CPC configuration of the inter-SN are changed before and after being applied to serve the auxiliary nodes;

CPC configuration of intra-SN in the auxiliary node, wherein the condition reconfiguration parameters in the CPC configuration of intra-SN are unchanged before and after being applied, and the service auxiliary node.

Optionally, the CPC configuration of the inter-SN and the CPC configuration of the inter-SN are carried over different signaling radio bearers SRBs, or all or part of the parameters in the configuration are carried over different information elements IEs when carried over the same signaling radio bearer SRBs.

In the first embodiment of the present application, when the UE works in the source SCG, the measurement configuration applied is shown in table 1, and the M sets of CPC configurations received by the UE are shown in table 2, where the M sets of CPC configurations include configuration parameters of the UE in the target SCG, and the configuration parameters include measurement configuration of the UE in the target SCG.

TABLE 1

TABLE 2

In the first implementation manner of this embodiment, the UE performs CPC evaluation, and if it finds that the CellA satisfies the CPC condition, performs PSCell change, and the target PSCell is CellA. According to the configuration of the target SCG, the MO corresponding frequency point with the number of 2 is changed from F1 to F3, and the following CPC configuration needs to be deleted:

(1) The executed configuration corresponding to the CPC, because the UE is switched to the SCG corresponding to the CellA at this time, that is, the first group of CPC configuration is executed; the first set of CPC configurations need to be deleted.

(2) CPC configuration with changed measurement configuration. Under the source SCG, the configuration of the second set of CPCs instructs the UE to evaluate as follows:

if the measurement result on Cell B satisfies the execution trigger condition at the F1 frequency point (frequency point corresponding to MO with number 2), CPC is triggered and PSCell is changed to Cell B.

However, after the UE changes the SCG, the frequency point corresponding to MO with number 2 becomes F3 (Cell a-associated SCG has the measurement configuration reconfigured). If the second set of CPC configurations is still reserved, the UE may evaluate as follows:

if the measurement result on cellB satisfies the execution trigger condition at the F3 frequency point (frequency point corresponding to MO with number 2), CPC is triggered and PSCell is changed to cellB.

As can be seen, before and after the target SCG is changed, the UE performs CPC evaluation according to the second set of CPC configuration, and the measured target frequency points are different; this does not conform to the intent of the network in configuring the second set of CPCs. Thus, the affected CPC configurations need to be deleted, i.e., the second set of CPC configurations.

In a second implementation in this embodiment, the UE performs CPC evaluation, finds that CellB satisfies the CPC condition, performs PSCell change, and the target PSCell is CellB, i.e. the second set of CPC configurations is performed. According to the configuration of the target SCG, neither the MO associated with the Measurement id numbered 1 nor the Measurement event configuration is changed, so the first set of CPCs may be reserved for subsequent CPC evaluation and the second set of CPC configurations already executed is deleted.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, if a Measurement id associated with a set of CPC configurations changes, or an MO and/or Measurement report configuration associated with the Measurement id changes (the relevant parameters used by the UE in the target SCG change relative to the relevant parameters used in the source SCG), the corresponding CPC configuration needs to be deleted; otherwise, the corresponding CPC configuration may be reserved; optionally, the CPC configuration that is executed also needs to be deleted.

In addition, it should be noted that, in this embodiment, the PSCell change is triggered by CPC, and the scheme of this embodiment is also applicable to PSCell change triggered by a conventional (e.g. Rel-15) PSCell change command (non-CPC procedure) of the network through LTE or NR.

In a second embodiment of the present application, when the UE works in the source SCG, the measurement configuration applied is shown in table 1, and the M sets of CPC configurations received by the UE are shown in table 2, where the M sets of CPC configurations include configuration parameters of the UE in the target SCG, and the configuration parameters include measurement configuration of the UE in the target SCG. In this embodiment, if the target SCG configuration in the CPC configuration received by the UE adopts delta configuration, the UE performs step 3a, otherwise, the UE performs step 3b.

Step 3a: the UE executes a PSCell change (change) process, and when the PSCell change is successful, the UE deletes CPC configuration adopting delta configuration;

Step 3b: the UE executes a PSCell change process, and when the PSCell change is successful, the UE reserves CPC configuration which does not adopt delta configuration.

The meaning of the target SCG configuration employing delta configuration means: the UE takes a source SCG configuration before PSCell change as a base line, and if the value of a certain parameter X is reconfigured in a target SCG configuration, the value of the parameter X is determined to be a newly configured value (namely, a base line parameter is replaced); if the value of the other parameter Y is not reconfigured, the value of the baseline parameter Y is used by the parameter Y, so the delta configuration mode can reduce the signaling overhead in configuration.

It can be seen that when the target SCG configuration adopts delta configuration, the network side and the UE side must have consistent understanding of the baseline SCG configuration, so that the actual parameters after delta configuration application can be consistently understood. When the network configures a certain set of CPC configurations for the UE, the baseline adopted by the NW is the configuration of the service SCG (SCG 1) at the time; if the UE performs a PSCell change once, its serving SCG is changed to SCG2. If the set of CPC configurations is reserved for the next CPC, the UE will assume the configuration of SCG2 as the baseline configuration when the UE applies the SCG configuration contained within the CPC. The network side and the UE side are inconsistent in understanding. To avoid such inconsistencies, if a certain set of CPC configurations contains SCGs in delta configuration, the UE should delete the set of CPC configurations after PSCell change.

That is, after PSCell change, the UE deletes the target CPC configuration, which includes the SCG configuration using delta mode. The UE may determine whether SCG configuration is delta mode as follows.

If the network indicates that the UE needs to release the current/source SCG configuration before applying the target SCG configuration, the target SCG configuration does not use a delta mode;

if the NW does not instruct the UE to release the current/source SCG configuration before applying the target SCG configuration, the target SCG configuration uses delta mode.

In the embodiment of the application, after the terminal changes the primary and secondary cells, the terminal deletes N groups of CPC configurations from the stored M groups of conditional primary and secondary cell change CPC configurations, wherein N is smaller than M, and the N groups of CPC configurations comprise at least one of the following items: CPC configuration with changed associated measurement configuration; CPC configuration of the incremental configuration mode is adopted for the included condition reconfiguration parameters; CPC configuration which is indicated by network side equipment and needs to be deleted; CPC configuration corresponding to the executed CPC. In the above process, the terminal deletes the N groups of CPC configurations meeting a certain condition, and screens out a part of still effective CPC configurations for use in the subsequent CPC process, so that after the primary and secondary cells are successfully changed, the terminal can continue to perform CPC evaluation based on the reserved CPC configurations, and the network is not required to reconfigure the CPC for the UE, thereby enabling the UE to be connected to the PSCell with good service quality in time and reducing signaling overhead of network reconfiguration CPC.

As shown in fig. 3, the embodiment of the present application further provides a method for processing configuration information, including:

step 301: the network side equipment indicates the M groups of conditional primary and secondary cells to change CPC configuration which needs to be deleted or reserved in CPC configuration to the terminal.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the network side device may indicate to the terminal a CPC configuration that needs to be deleted or reserved in the M-group CPC configuration.

Optionally, the CPC configuration to be deleted includes at least one of a CPC configuration associated with the changed measurement configuration and a CPC configuration including a conditional reconfiguration parameter in an incremental configuration manner.

In the embodiment of the application, the network side equipment indicates the CPC configuration which needs to be deleted or reserved in the M groups of conditional primary and secondary cells to the terminal, so that the terminal deletes the corresponding CPC configuration in the M groups of CPC configuration and reserves the rest CPC configuration according to the indication, and after the primary and secondary cells are successfully changed, the terminal can continue CPC evaluation based on the reserved CPC configuration without waiting for the network to reconfigure the CPC for the UE, thereby enabling the UE to be connected to the PScell with good service quality in time and reducing the signaling overhead of the network reconfiguration CPC.

Optionally, the network side device indicates at least one of the feature and the identifier of the CPC configuration that needs to be deleted or reserved through indication information in the conditional reconfiguration parameter in the CPC configuration.

Optionally, the features of the CPC configuration include at least one of:

Optionally, in the case that the network side device is the target secondary node SN, before the target SN indicates to the terminal that the M sets of conditional primary and secondary cells change CPC configuration that needs to be deleted or reserved, one or more of the following are further included:

acquiring at least part of information of S-group CPC configuration sent by a master node MN, wherein S is less than or equal to M;

A first measurement configuration used by the terminal before a primary and secondary cell change is obtained.

The at least partial information refers to at least one of CPC configuration identification and execution conditions.

Here, after the first measurement configuration is acquired, it is convenient to determine, according to the first measurement configuration, a CPC configuration that needs to be deleted or reserved in the M sets of conditional primary and secondary cell change CPC configurations.

In the embodiment of the application, the S-group CPC configuration sent by the MN to the target SN can be the CPC configuration used by the terminal at the source SN, and CPC associated with the S-group CPC configuration is initiated by the source SN. The first measurement configuration is sent by the SN to the terminal via the MN.

and comparing a second measurement configuration corresponding to at least part of information of the S-group CPC configuration with the first measurement configuration, and determining that the CPC configuration associated with the changed second measurement configuration is the CPC configuration needing to be deleted under the condition that the measurement configuration corresponding to the same measurement identifier is changed.

The change of the measurement configuration corresponding to the same measurement identifier includes a change of at least one of a measurement object and a measurement report configuration corresponding to the same measurement identifier.

Optionally, in the case that S is less than M, the S-group CPC configuration is a CPC configuration after at least one of the first CPC configuration and the second CPC configuration is removed from the M-group CPC configuration;

The first CPC is configured as CPC configuration of which the condition reconfiguration parameters are in an incremental configuration mode, wherein the incremental configuration mode refers to a mode that network side equipment generates the condition reconfiguration parameters by taking source SCG configuration as a reference;

and the second CPC is configured as CPC configuration of which the primary and secondary cells indicated in the associated condition reconfiguration parameters are consistent with the service primary and secondary cells after the terminal executes CPC, or is configured as configuration corresponding to the CPC executed by the terminal last time.

under the condition that the network side equipment is a master node MN, determining CPC configuration to be deleted according to at least one of first CPC configuration and second CPC configuration;

the first CPC configuration is CPC configuration in which a condition reconfiguration parameter in CPC configuration adopts an incremental configuration mode, wherein the incremental configuration mode refers to a mode that network side equipment generates target SCG configuration by taking source SCG configuration as a reference;

In a third embodiment of the application, the network indicates whether to release CPC configuration (inter-SCG CPC configuration of SN configuration). The method specifically comprises the following steps:

step 1: the UE receives a target SCG configuration X of network configuration; the target SCG configuration X may be carried in a conventional PSCell change command for LTE or NR, or may be carried through CPC configuration; the target SCG configuration X carries indication information, and the indication information is used for informing the UE to reserve CPC configuration when the related SCG configuration is applied. The reserved CPC configuration includes an inter-SN CPC configuration of NW through SN configuration.

If there are multiple candidate target SNs (T-SNs), the RRC (connection) reconfiguration complete message may contain information that assists the MN in determining the T-SN, such as id=x of CPC configuration performed by the UE.

Step 502: the MN indicates to the S-SN that the PScell/SN change is complete.

Step 503: the S-SN sends measurement configuration information to the MN, the measurement configuration information being a measurement configuration of SN configuration applied when the UE connects to the S-SN.

Step 504: the MN sends the received measurement information to the T-SN.

Step 505: the T-SN determines related information of CPC configuration to be deleted or reserved by the UE according to the received information; and deleting CPC configuration information which is determined to be deleted by the UE from the stored CPC information.
