For example, if the measurement quality value is determined based on RSRP, the measurement quality value is the value of RSRP.
As another alternative embodiment, step 202 includes:
in the case that the evaluation determines that at least one first candidate PSCell meeting the second execution condition exists, and the candidate PCell corresponding to the first candidate PSCell does not meet the first execution condition, the terminal starts a hysteresis timer;

In at least one embodiment of the present application, the method further comprises:
after the terminal determines the target PCell and the target PSCell, the terminal closes the hysteresis timer.
Optionally, if during the running of the hysteresis timer, the terminal evaluates and determines that the target PCell and the target PSCell of the corresponding execution condition are simultaneously satisfied, the terminal closes the hysteresis timer after determining the target PCell and the target PSCell.
As an alternative embodiment, the method further comprises:
And during the running period of the hysteresis timer, the terminal continues to perform measurement and evaluation on other candidate PCells which do not meet the first execution condition, and/or performs measurement and evaluation on other candidate PScells which do not meet the second execution condition.
In other words, during the running of the hysteresis timer, the terminal not only evaluates the candidate PSCell associated with the first candidate PCell that satisfies the first execution condition, but also performs measurement evaluation on other candidate pcells and their associated candidate pscells that do not satisfy the first execution condition; and/or the terminal not only evaluates the candidate PCell associated with the first candidate PSCell meeting the second execution condition, but also performs measurement evaluation on other candidate pscells and the candidate PCell associated therewith which do not meet the second execution condition.
Alternatively, as another alternative embodiment, the method further comprises:
during the running of the hysteresis timer, the terminal stops performing measurement evaluation on other candidate pcells which do not meet the first execution condition, and/or stops performing measurement evaluation on other candidate pscells which do not meet the second execution condition.
In other words, during the hysteresis timer running, the terminal only evaluates candidate pscells associated with the first candidate PCell satisfying the first execution condition; and/or, the terminal only evaluates the candidate PCell associated with the first candidate PScell meeting the second execution condition.
Optionally, if during the running of the hysteresis timer, the terminal continues to perform measurement and evaluation on other candidate pcells that do not meet the first execution condition, and/or performs measurement and evaluation on other candidate pscells that do not meet the second execution condition, the method further includes:

This step can be understood as: if a certain candidate PCell and a corresponding candidate PScell thereof are found to simultaneously meet the corresponding execution conditions, the UE closes the hysteresis timer, takes the PCell which simultaneously meets the execution conditions as a target PCell and takes the associated PScell as a target PScell.
In at least one embodiment of the present application, the configuration granularity of the hysteresis timer is a first granularity, the first granularity including at least one of:

In order to more clearly describe the cell access method and the execution condition configuration method provided in the embodiments of the present application, the following description is made with reference to several examples.
Example 1
Step 11, the network side issues an RRC reconfiguration message with one or more pieces of condition reconfiguration configuration information; the conditional reconfiguration configuration information comprises at least one of the following:
configuration information of PCell switching, configuration information added or changed by one PSCell, and configuration information related to execution conditions of the corresponding PCell and PSCell;
configuration information of PCell handover, configuration information of at least 2 PSCell additions or changes, and configuration information related to execution conditions of the corresponding PCell and PSCell.
The execution condition-related configuration information needs to satisfy at least one of:
if the execution condition is an execution condition (corresponding to a second execution condition) for the candidate PSCell, a condition configured in a reporting configuration corresponding to a reporting configuration id associated with a corresponding measId (measurement identifier) triggers a TTT configuration in a reporting event to be 0;
if the execution condition is an execution condition (corresponding to a second execution condition) aiming at the candidate PSCell, triggering a condition configured in the reporting configuration corresponding to the reporting configuration id associated with the corresponding measId to not configure a TTT in the reporting event;
If the execution condition is an execution condition (equivalent to a first execution condition) for the candidate PCell, the TTT configuration in the reporting configuration configured in the reporting configuration id associated with the corresponding measId needs to be at least greater than TTT1, where TTT1 is the longest TTT in the TTTs in the reporting event triggered by the corresponding condition in the execution conditions configured for the candidate PSCell corresponding to all the candidate pcells on the network side;
step 12, after receiving the RRC reconfiguration message, the terminal determines a measurement evaluation target of the execution condition of the condition reconfiguration in the configuration information related to the execution condition; performing measurement evaluation on the PCell cell and/or the PScell cell based on the execution condition of the condition reconfiguration of which the measurement evaluation target is the PCell and/or the execution condition of the condition reconfiguration of which the measurement evaluation target is the PScell;
specifically, at least one of the following acts is included:
aiming at the condition that TTT is not carried in the execution conditions configured by the network side, the UE only needs to consider that the execution conditions are met when detecting that the measurement result of the evaluation target is higher than the measurement result threshold conditions set in the execution conditions during evaluation;
aiming at the condition that TTT is configured on a network side, the terminal evaluates the candidate PCell and the corresponding candidate PScell according to a preset convention, and if and only if the execution conditions of the candidate PCell and the corresponding candidate PScell are met, the terminal accesses the candidate PCell and the corresponding candidate PScell as target cells (namely the target PCell and the target PScell).
Example 2
Step 21, the network side issues an RRC reconfiguration message with one or more pieces of condition reconfiguration configuration information; the conditional reconfiguration configuration information comprises at least one of the following:
configuration information of PCell switching, configuration information added or changed by one PSCell, and configuration information related to execution conditions of the corresponding PCell and PSCell;
configuration information of PCell handover, configuration information of at least 2 PSCell additions or changes, and configuration information related to execution conditions of the corresponding PCell and PSCell.
The RRC reconfiguration message further includes information related to a hysteresis Timer (hysteresis Timer), where the information related to the hysteresis Timer includes at least one of the following:
configuration information of the Timer;
whether the starting Timer is supported;
the configuration of the hysteresis Timer can be per PCell per PSCell, or per PCell, or per conditional reconfiguration id, or per node, or per handover; take table 1 as an example:
TABLE 1 configuration of hysteresis Timer
Taking the case that the first execution condition of the PCell is satisfied first and the second execution condition of the corresponding PSCell is not satisfied as an example, the case that the scene "PSCell satisfies the second execution condition and the first execution condition of the corresponding PCell is not satisfied" is similar to the case that the first execution condition of the corresponding PCell is not satisfied;
If the terminal evaluates and finds that the first execution condition of the PCell is satisfied and the second execution condition of the corresponding PSCell is not satisfied, the terminal has the following different behaviors based on different delay Timer modes configured by the network side:
case 1: if the hysteresis Timer configured on the network side is per PCell per PSCell configured (per conditional reconfiguration id), the terminal starts a respective Timer for each PSCell under each PCell, and continues to perform the following actions of example 4;
case 2: if the hysteresis Timer configured on the network side is per PCell configuration (per condition reconfiguration id), the terminal starts one Timer for all pscells under each PCell, and continues to execute the following actions of example 4;
case 3: if the hysteresis Timer configured on the network side is configured by the per node, the terminal starts a Timer for all pscells under all the pcells under one node, and continues to execute the following actions of example 4;
case 4: if the hysteresis Timer configured on the network side is configured by per handover, the terminal starts a Timer for all pscells under all PCell, and continues to perform the following actions of example 4.
Example 3
Taking the case that the first execution condition of the PCell is satisfied first and the second execution condition of the corresponding PSCell is not satisfied as an example, the case that the scene "PSCell satisfies the second execution condition and the first execution condition of the corresponding PCell is not satisfied" is similar to the case that the first execution condition of the corresponding PCell is not satisfied;
In this case, the protocol agrees or the protocol standardizes configuration information of the hysteresis Timer (specifically, at least includes Timer duration setting), when the terminal side configures the PCell handover with the PSCell addition/change condition, and when the terminal evaluates that the first execution condition of the PCell is satisfied, and the second execution condition of the corresponding PSCell is not satisfied, the UE starts one hysteresis Timer for all pscells under all the PCell satisfying the first execution condition according to the hysteresis Timer configuration information of the protocol or the protocol. And performs the following actions of example 4.
Example 4
Taking the case that the first execution condition of the PCell is satisfied first and the second execution condition of the corresponding PSCell is not satisfied as an example, the case that the scene "PSCell satisfies the second execution condition and the first execution condition of the corresponding PCell is not satisfied" is similar to the case that the first execution condition of the corresponding PCell is not satisfied;
when the terminal evaluates and finds that the first execution condition of one or more candidate PCell is met and the corresponding candidate PSCell does not meet the second execution condition, the actions of the terminal include:
1) The terminal starts a hysteresis Timer, and the terminal cannot take the PCell as a target PCell during the running period of the hysteresis Timer;
2a) Optionally, after the UE starts the hysteresis Timer, the UE stops evaluating other candidate pcells and pscells that do not meet the execution condition;
2b) Optionally, after the UE starts the hysteresis Timer, the UE still continues to evaluate other candidate PCell and PSCell that do not meet the execution condition, if it finds that a certain candidate PCell and its corresponding candidate PSCell meet simultaneously, the UE closes the hysteresis Timer, and uses the PCell and PSCell that meet the condition simultaneously as the target cell;
3) The terminal needs to continuously evaluate candidate pscells associated with the candidate PCell satisfying the first execution condition, including any one of the following:
if the second execution condition of the candidate PSCell exists and is met in the hysteresis Timer period, the terminal takes the candidate PSCell meeting the second execution condition as a target PSCell, and a corresponding PCell cell meeting the first execution condition as a target PCell; then, the terminal closes the delay Timer;
if the execution condition of the candidate PSCell is not satisfied before the hysteresis Timer expires, the terminal forcedly selects one PSCell from the candidate pscells as a target PSCell, and uses a PCell associated with the PSCell and satisfying a first execution condition as the target PSCell; the manner in which the UE selects PSCell at this time may be:
selecting any one candidate PScell cell based on the terminal implementation;
The terminal selects a PScell cell with the best signal quality from the candidate PScell cells; the signal quality is best understood to be the highest measured quality value.
In the embodiment of the application, under a condition PCell switching scene with a plurality of candidate PScells, network side equipment configures execution conditions for each candidate PCell and each associated candidate PScell respectively, a terminal respectively measures and evaluates candidate PCell and candidate PScell pairs, and initiates access of a corresponding cell after evaluating and determining that a target PCell and a corresponding target PScell meet the corresponding execution conditions; therefore, the terminal can be ensured to select a proper PCell cell and a corresponding candidate PScell cell to be accessed, and switching robustness and reliability are improved.
