In some embodiments, the UE needs to periodically perform RRM (Radio Resource Management ) measurements to determine the appropriate cells to access, ensuring the reliability of the wireless communication connection. By way of example, RRM measurements are divided into the following cases: (1) RRM measurements of a serving cell; (2) RRM measurement of an intra-frequency cell; (3) RRM measurement of inter-frequency cells (inter-frequency cells). Wherein the RRM measurement of the inter-frequency cells is classified into high, medium and low conditions according to the frequency priority of each inter-frequency cell.

For example, for RRM measurements of the serving cell, the UE makes at least one RRM measurement every M1 x N1 DRX (Discontinuous Reception, discontinuous reception/discontinuous reception mechanism) cycles. Wherein if the SMTC (SSB Measurement Timing Configuration ) is periodic-T _SMTC >20ms, and DRX cycle is less than or equal to 0.64s, m1=2; otherwise m1=1; for a serving cell signal with a Frequency range FR1 (Frequency range 1), n1=1.

For RRM measurement of other same-frequency cells and different-frequency cells, the interval period of RRM measurement can be increased under the condition that the preset condition is met, so that the RRM measurement frequency is reduced, and the effect of saving electricity is achieved. For example, for RRM measurements of the same frequency cell, when the RRM measurements of the serving cell satisfy a first condition (Srxlev >SIntraSearchP and Squal>The sintrasetq), the UE may not perform RRM measurement of the co-frequency cell, where the first condition is: srxlev>S _IntraSearch - _p And square>S _IntraSearch - _Q Srxlev is the signal strength of the received signal of the UE, S _{IntraSearch-P} For the intensity threshold of intra-cell signal handover, square is the signal quality of the received signal of the UE, S _{Intrasearch-Q} A quality threshold value for intra-cell signal handover; when the RRM measurement of the serving cell does not satisfy the first condition, the UE needs to frequently perform the RRM measurement of the same-frequency cell based on the first set period. For example, the first set period indicates that the UE makes at least one RRM measurement per DRX cycle.

For inter-frequency cell RRM measurement, when the RRM measurement result of the serving cell meets a second condition, the inter-frequency cell with medium and low frequency priority can not execute the inter-frequency cell RRM measurement by the UE; wherein the secondThe conditions are as follows: srxlev>S _{nonIntraSearch} - _P And square>S _{nonIntraSearch} - _Q Srxlev is the signal strength of the received signal of the UE, S _{nonIntraSearch-P} For the intensity threshold of inter-cell signal handover, square is the signal quality of the received signal of the UE, S _{nonIntraSearch-Q} A quality threshold for inter-cell signal handover; when the RRM measurement result of the serving cell does not satisfy the second condition, the UE needs to frequently perform RRM measurement of the inter-frequency cell based on the second set period. For example, the second set period indicates that the UE performs RRM measurement at least once every X DRX cycles, where X is greater than or equal to 1. The value of X may be related to the number of inter-frequency bins.

In some embodiments, for RRM measurement of the on-channel cell, when RRM measurement of the serving cell does not meet the first condition but meets a third condition (not at cell edge), the RRM measurement period of the UE on the on-channel cell may be amplified by K times of the first set period, for example: if k=3, the ue performs RRM measurement of the same-frequency cell once on the basis of the first set period 3 times the interval. And when the signal strength of the received signal of the UE and the signal threshold value are larger than a third threshold value, determining that the RRM measurement result of the serving cell meets a third condition.

In some embodiments, for RRM measurement of inter-frequency cells, when RRM measurement of serving cell does not satisfy the second condition, but satisfies the third condition, the RRM measurement period of UE may be amplified to K times the second set period, for example: k=3. When the RRM measurement of the serving cell satisfies the second condition, the UE may or may not relax the RRM measurement period for the inter-frequency cells of high frequency priority.

In some embodiments, to further save power for the UE, a Low power wake-up receiver (Low-Power WakeUp Receiver, LP-WUR) mechanism may be introduced to reduce the power consumption of the UE during RRM measurements. For example, in a power saving state, the UE may place a Main Receiver (MR) in a deep sleep (Ultra-deep sleep) state and turn on LP-WUR to listen for a wake-up signal (LP-WUS) supporting low power reception. When the LP-WUR detects the LP-WUS (wake-up signal) for the UE, the UE turns on the MR for normal interactive transmission. The power consumption of MR can be greatly reduced through the mechanism of LP-WUS, and the power consumption of LP-WUR is very low, thereby the UE obtains larger power saving gain.

In some embodiments, to support LP-WUR synchronization requirements and LP-WUR based RRM measurements, synchronization signals (LP-SSs) supporting low power consumption are also introduced. However, in order to pursue the maximization of power saving, the acceptance performance of the LP-WUR is lower than that of the MR, so that the RRM measurement based on the LP-WUR and the reception of the wake-up signal cannot support the full network coverage.

Fig. 2 is an interactive schematic diagram illustrating an RRM measurement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present disclosure relates to an RRM measurement method, which is performed by a terminal 101 and a network device 102, and includes:

in step S2101, the terminal 101 performs radio resource management RRM measurement on the serving cell based on the first receiver, and generates an RRM measurement result.

For example, in this embodiment, the terminal 101 performs RRM measurement on a signal received in a current serving cell based on the first receiver to determine whether the currently used serving cell signal meets the quality requirement of communication interaction, and generates an RRM measurement result. Wherein the RRM measurement is used to optimize and control the allocation and use of radio resources.

In some embodiments, the first receiver comprises an MR and/or an LP-WUR.

For example, in this embodiment, the terminal 101 is configured with MR and/or LP-WUR for receiving a communication signal, and RRM measurement may be performed on the communication signal of the current serving cell by the MR and/or LP-WUR to generate an RRM measurement result of the serving cell.

In step S2102, the terminal 101 determines, according to the RRM measurement result, measurement behavior of the terminal in the first cell based on the primary receiver.

In some embodiments, the measurement behavior may include an RRM measurement period of the primary receiver MR in the first cell, and, for example, according to the RRM measurement result, determining that the measurement period of the primary receiver in the first cell is Y, the UE performs at least one RRM measurement of the first cell at intervals of Y periods based on the primary receiver.

In some embodiments, the first cell may be a serving cell, a same frequency cell, or an inter-frequency cell.

In some embodiments, step S2102 includes:

determining that the RRM measurement result meets a first condition, and controlling the main receiver not to execute RRM measurement of the serving cell or controlling the main receiver to execute RRM measurement of the serving cell at least every M Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycles;

determining that the RRM measurement result does not meet the first condition, and the RRM measurement result meets the fourth condition, and controlling the main receiver to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least every N DRX cycles, wherein M is more than N;

Determining that the RRM measurement result does not meet the fourth condition, and the RRM measurement result meets the sixth condition, and controlling the main receiver to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least every K DRX cycles, wherein N is larger than K, and K is larger than 1;

In some embodiments, the first condition, the second condition, the third condition, the fourth condition, the fifth condition, or the sixth condition is based on RRM measurements of the serving cell by the first receiver, including MR and/or LP-WUR, and a corresponding threshold.

In this embodiment, the execution period of the RRM measurement of the main receiver is divided into a plurality of condition intervals by the first condition, the second condition, the third condition, the fourth condition, the fifth condition and/or the sixth condition, and the position of the condition interval where the RRM measurement result is located is determined by whether the RRM measurement result satisfies the first condition, the second condition, the third condition, the fourth condition, the fifth condition and/or the sixth condition.

In an example, based on the first condition, the second condition, and/or the third condition of the RRM measurement, in this embodiment, a fourth condition and a fifth condition for processing the RRM measurement of the LP-WUR are introduced, according to the RRM measurement value of the serving cell, the RRM measurement result of the serving cell, the same-frequency cell, and/or the different-frequency cell may be divided into a plurality of intervals, and an appropriate RRM measurement mechanism is defined in each interval, and, in an example, based on the plurality of intervals in which the RRM measurement result is located, different measurement interval periods are allocated to the RRM measurement of the UE, so as to improve the point-saving effect of the UE in the RRM measurement process.

In some embodiments, the first condition, the second condition, and/or the third condition may be based on an RRM measurement of the serving cell by the MR and a corresponding threshold. Alternatively, the first condition, the second condition, and/or the third condition may be based on the RRM measurement of the LP-WUR for the serving cell and a corresponding threshold. Alternatively, the first condition, the second condition, and/or the third condition may be a pair of RRM measurements and a corresponding pair of thresholds for the serving cell based on MR and LP-WUR. The method adopting a pair of thresholds is as follows: when the UE has MR-based RRM measurements and LP-WUR-based RRM measurements available, the UE considers the corresponding condition to be true only when both the MR RRM measurements and the LP-WUR RRM measurements meet the threshold requirement. Alternatively, the UE considers the corresponding condition to be true only when the RRM measurement result of the MR meets the threshold requirement. Alternatively, whenever one of the RRM measurement of the MR and the RRM measurement of the LP-WUR meets the threshold requirement, the UE considers that the corresponding condition is satisfied. For the method adopting a pair of thresholds, when the UE has only one RRM measurement result of MR available or the RRM measurement result of LP-WUR available, the UE judges whether the corresponding condition is met according to the available RRM measurement.

In some embodiments, the fourth condition may be based on the RRM measurement of the MR to the serving cell and the corresponding threshold, or the fourth condition may be based on the RRM measurement of the LP-WUR to the serving cell and the corresponding threshold. Alternatively, the fourth condition may be an RRM measurement for the serving cell and a corresponding pair of thresholds based on the MR and the LP-WUR RRM measurements. The UE is considered to satisfy the fourth condition when the RRM measurement for the serving cell is greater than the corresponding threshold.

In some embodiments, the fifth condition may be used to determine whether the RRM measurement of the LP-WUR is available, i.e., when the UE satisfies the fifth condition, then it is determined that the RRM measurement based on the LP-WUR is available in the UE. For example, when the accuracy of the RRM measurement of LP-WUR satisfies the fifth condition, it is considered that the RRM measurement of LP-WUR may be used to process references of other RRM procedures. The fifth condition may also be used to refer to that the receiving performance of the LP-WUR wake-up signal meets the performance requirement, and when the receiving performance of the LP-WUR wake-up signal of the UE meets the performance requirement, determining that the UE meets the fifth condition, where the fifth condition relates to a coverage area that the LP-WUR can support, and when the coverage area that the LP-WUR can support in the UE is larger, a threshold corresponding to the fifth condition is smaller; the smaller the coverage that the LP-WUR can support, the greater the threshold value corresponding to the fifth condition.

In some implementations, the first condition includes a first threshold for RRM measurements for the first cell based on the primary receiver;

the second condition includes a second threshold for RRM measurements for the first cell based on the primary receiver;

the fourth condition includes a fourth threshold for RRM measurements for the first cell based on the primary receiver;

the sixth condition is that the third condition and the fifth condition are satisfied;

the third condition includes a third threshold for RRM measurements for the first cell based on the primary receiver;

the fifth condition is that the RRM measurement result of the LP-WUR meets the preset use condition;

the first threshold is greater than the fourth threshold is greater than the third threshold, and the second threshold is greater than the fourth threshold is greater than the third threshold.

In this embodiment, the first threshold is used to indicate the first threshold for the main receiver to perform RRM measurement on the first cell, the second threshold is used to indicate the second threshold for the main receiver to perform RRM measurement on the first cell, the third threshold is used to indicate the third threshold for the main receiver to perform RRM measurement on the first cell, the fourth threshold is used to indicate the fourth threshold for the main receiver to perform RRM measurement on the first cell, the fifth threshold is used to indicate the fifth threshold for the main receiver to perform RRM measurement on the first cell, and the sixth condition is that the third condition and the fifth condition are satisfied, that is, when the RRM measurement result satisfies the third condition and satisfies the fifth condition, it is determined that the RRM measurement result satisfies the sixth condition.

For example, in this embodiment, the first cell is a serving cell, and the RRM measurement result determining interval period is divided into 4 intervals by the first threshold of the first condition, the fourth threshold of the fourth condition, and the sixth threshold of the sixth condition:

interval 1: and if the RRM measurement result meets the first condition, controlling the main receiver not to execute the RRM measurement of the serving cell or controlling the main receiver to execute the RRM measurement of the serving cell at least once every M DRX cycles. I.e. the RRM measurement is greater than the first threshold, the primary receiver is controlled not to perform RRM measurements of the serving cell, or the primary receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurements of the serving cell at least once every M DRX cycles, where M > 1.

Interval 4: determining that the RRM measurement does not meet a sixth condition, namely: and the sixth threshold is larger than the RRM measurement result, and the main receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least once every DRX period.

In some implementations, M, N and K are predefined parameters or higher layer signaling configuration parameters.

For example, in this embodiment, the values of M, N and K are each a number greater than 1, and M > N > K. The configuration modes of M, N, and K may be determined by predefined parameters in the terminal 101, and may also be determined by higher layer signaling configuration parameters sent by the network device 102.

In some embodiments, the fifth condition includes a fifth threshold for RRM measurements for the serving cell based on the LP-WUR;

For example, in this embodiment, the fifth condition is used to indicate a fifth threshold for performing RRM measurement on the serving cell based on LR-WUR in the UE, and if the LP-WUR coverage area is larger, the third threshold corresponding to the third condition is greater than the fifth threshold; if the LP-WUR coverage is smaller, the fifth threshold > the third threshold.

Fig. 5a is a schematic diagram illustrating an RRM measurement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 5a, an embodiment of the present disclosure relates to an RRM measurement method, which includes:

In step S5101, the terminal 101 performs RRM measurement on the serving cell based on the receiver, and generates an RRM measurement result.

For example, the receiver in this embodiment may include MR or LP-WUR, and the terminal 101 may perform RRM measurement on the serving cell through MR, and may also perform RRM measurement on the serving cell through LP-WUR, to generate a corresponding RRM measurement result.

In step S5102, according to the condition interval in which the RRM measurement result is located, the terminal 101 determines the measurement behavior of the receiver in the first cell.

In some embodiments, the execution period of the RRM measurement is divided into a plurality of condition intervals by the first condition, the second condition, the third condition, the fourth condition, the fifth condition, and/or the sixth condition, and the determination is made by whether the RRM measurement satisfies the first condition, the second condition, the third condition, the fourth condition, the fifth condition, and/or the sixth condition, by way of example, where the RRM measurement is located.

Fig. 5b is a schematic view of an LP-WUR based RRM measurement shown in an embodiment of the disclosure, where the RRM measurement is divided into a plurality of intervals, and the interval period of the RRM measurement in the UE is determined based on the plurality of intervals, as shown in fig. 5 b.

In some embodiments, RRM measurements for the serving cell, the same frequency cell, and the different frequency cell may be defined based on the first condition, the second condition, the third condition, the fourth condition, and the fifth condition, respectively.

(1) And for RRM measurement of the serving cell, dividing the measurement result of RRM into 4 intervals according to the first condition, the fourth condition, the third condition or the fifth condition, and determining the interval period of RRM measurement based on the interval where the measurement result of RRM is located.

Interval 1: when the RRM measurement result of the serving cell satisfies the first condition, the MR of the UE does not perform RRM measurement or performs RRM measurement more relaxed than the interval 2. For example, the MR may be at least one RRM measurement per M DRX cycles, where M > 1, and the UE may assist the UE in performing RRM measurements for the serving cell by performing RRM measurements through the LP-WUR.

Interval 2: when the RRM measurement result of the serving cell does not satisfy the first condition and the RRM measurement result satisfies the fourth condition, the MR of the UE performs the RRM measurement more relaxed than the interval 3. For example, the MR may be RRM measurements taken at least once every N DRX cycles. For example, the UE may perform RRM measurements through the LP-WUR to assist the UE in RRM measurements of the serving cell.

Interval 3: and when the RRM measurement result meets the third condition and the fifth condition simultaneously, determining that the RRM measurement result meets the sixth condition, and when the RRM measurement result of the serving cell does not meet the fourth condition and the RRM measurement result meets the sixth condition, performing the RRM measurement which is more relaxed than the preset first period by the MR of the UE. For example, in interval 3, the RRM measurement period of the MR may be the same as the measurement period of the on-channel cell. For example, MR may be RRM measurements taken at least once every k1=3 DRX cycles. The UE may perform RRM measurements through the LP-WUR to assist the UE in processing RRM.

Interval 4: when the RRM measurement result of the serving cell does not satisfy the sixth condition, the MR of the UE performs RRM measurement at least every DRX cycle.

In one embodiment, the first condition may be replaced by the second condition in the RRM measurement method of the serving cell. In the above RRM measurement method for a serving cell, the RRM measurement for the serving cell may be that the sixth condition is necessarily satisfied if the fourth condition is satisfied. If the parameters of the network device configuration result in the RRM measurement of the UE satisfying the fourth condition but not the sixth condition, the UE may consider the configuration parameters of the network device configuration to be wrong, or the UE may replace the fourth condition with the sixth condition. In the above RRM measurement method for a serving cell, the RRM measurement for the serving cell may be that the fourth condition is necessarily satisfied when the first condition or the second condition is satisfied. If the parameters configured by the base station result in the RRM measurement of the UE satisfying the first condition or the second condition but not the fourth condition, the UE may consider the configuration as a mistake, or the UE may replace the fourth condition with the first condition or the second condition. The UE may detect the synchronization signal for LP-WUS for this UE in the RRM measurements for interval 1, interval 2, and interval 3 described above. The UE may not detect the synchronization signal for the LP-WUS for this UE in the RRM measurement of interval 4.

(2) For the RRM measurement of the on-channel cell, when the RRM measurement of the serving cell does not satisfy the first condition but satisfies the fourth condition, the MR of the UE performs the on-channel cell RRM measurement that is more relaxed than K1 first set periods. For example, the RRM measurement period of the MR may be the same as the measurement period of the interval 2 of the serving cell. For example, the MR may be to make RRM measurements of the on-channel cell at least once every N > K1 DRX cycles.

As an example, as shown in fig. 5b, fig. 5b is a schematic diagram of RRM measurement when the third condition is more stringent than the fifth condition. I.e. the sixth condition is identical to the third condition. In this embodiment, the coverage of the LP-WUR is larger, and the threshold value corresponding to the fifth condition is smaller than the threshold value of the third condition. And (3) measuring RRM of the same-frequency cell, and dividing the measuring behavior of the RRM into 4 intervals according to the first condition, the fourth condition and the third condition.

Interval 1: when the RRM measurement value of the serving cell satisfies the first condition, the MR of the UE may not perform RRM measurement of the co-frequency cell.

Interval 2: when the RRM measurement value of the serving cell does not satisfy the first condition but satisfies the fourth condition, the MR of the UE performs RRM measurement for the on-channel cell more relaxed than the interval 3. For example, the MR may be to make RRM measurements of the on-channel cell at least once every N > K1 DRX cycles.

Interval 3: when the RRM measurement value of the serving cell does not satisfy the fourth condition but satisfies the third condition, the MR of the UE performs RRM measurement on the same-frequency cell at least every K1 first set periods. For example, the MR may be an RRM measurement of the on-channel cell made at least once every K1 first set periods.

Interval 4: the UE may perform RRM measurement for the same frequency cell for at least every first set period when the RRM measurement of the serving cell does not satisfy the third condition.

(3) For RRM measurement of inter-frequency cells, when the RRM measurement result of the serving cell does not satisfy the second condition but satisfies the fourth condition, the MR of the UE performs RRM measurement of the inter-frequency cell more relaxed than K1 second set periods. For example, the RRM measurement period of the MR-on-inter-frequency cell may be consistent with the measurement period of the serving cell interval 2. For example, the MR may be RRM measurements of the inter-frequency cell at least once every N > K1 second preset periods.

For example, as shown in fig. 5b, RRM measurement of the inter-frequency cell is divided into 4 intervals according to the second condition, the fourth condition, and the third condition.

Interval 1: when the RRM measurement value of the serving cell satisfies the second condition, the MR of the UE may not perform the RRM measurement of the inter-frequency cell.

Interval 2: when the RRM measurement value of the serving cell does not satisfy the second condition but satisfies the fourth condition, the MR of the UE performs RRM measurement for the inter-frequency cell more relaxed than the interval 3. For example, MR may be RRM measurements of inter-frequency cells at least once every N X DRX cycles, N > K1.

Interval 3: when the RRM measurement value of the serving cell does not satisfy the fourth condition but satisfies the third condition, the MR of the UE performs RRM measurement of the one-frequency cell at least every K1 second set periods. For example, MR may be RRM measurements of inter-frequency cells at least once every k1×x DRX cycles.

Interval 4: when the RRM measurement value of the serving cell does not satisfy the third condition, the MR of the UE may perform RRM measurement of the same frequency cell for at least every second set period.

Fig. 5c is a schematic diagram of LP-WUR based RRM measurement according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in fig. 5c, in this embodiment, the LP-WUR coverage of the UE is smaller, and the corresponding fifth condition is stricter than the third condition, that is, the sixth condition is determined according to the fifth condition.

For example, as shown in fig. 5c, fig. 5c is a schematic diagram of RRM measurement when the fifth condition is more stringent than the third condition, and the threshold value of the corresponding fifth condition is greater than the threshold value of the third condition. And (3) measuring RRM of the same-frequency cell, and dividing the detection of RRM into 4 intervals according to the first condition, the fourth condition and the third condition. The allocation of the interval period of the RRM measurement of the same frequency cell in each interval is the same as that in the embodiment of fig. 5b, and reference may be made to the embodiment of fig. 5b, which is not repeated herein. For the RRM measurement of the inter-frequency cell, the RRM measurement behavior is divided into 4 intervals according to the second condition, the fourth condition, and the third condition, and the interval period allocation of the RRM measurement of the inter-frequency cell in each interval is the same as that in the embodiment of fig. 5b, which is referred to the embodiment of fig. 5b and is not repeated herein.

Fig. 5d is a schematic diagram of three-interval RRM measurement of a serving cell according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in fig. 5d, RRM measurement behavior of the serving cell may be divided into 3 intervals in the present embodiment. For example, a and B in the figure are cases where the sixth condition corresponds to the third condition and the sixth condition corresponds to the fifth condition, respectively.

Interval 1: when the RRM measurement value of the serving cell satisfies the fourth condition, the MR of the UE performs the RRM measurement more relaxed than the interval 2. The UE performs RRM measurements through the LP-WUR to assist the UE in processing RRM.

Interval 2: when the RRM measurement of the serving cell does not satisfy the fourth condition but satisfies the sixth condition, the MR of the UE makes RRM measurements at least once every K1 DRX cycles. The UE performs RRM measurements through the LP-WUR to assist the UE in processing RRM. In interval 2, the RRM measurement period of the mr may be the same as the measurement period of the same frequency cell. For example, MR may be RRM measurements taken once every k1=3 DRX cycles.

Interval 3: when the RRM measurement value of the serving cell does not satisfy the sixth condition, the MR of the UE performs the RRM measurement every DRX cycle.

For example, in this embodiment, the UE may detect LP-WUS for this UE in interval 1 and interval 2. The UE may not detect LP-WUS for this UE in interval 3.

Fig. 5e is a schematic diagram of three-interval RRM measurement of a serving cell according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in fig. 5e, RRM measurement behavior of the serving cell may be divided into 3 intervals in the present embodiment, and the third condition and the fifth condition may be replaced by the sixth condition. The following intervals were obtained:

interval 1: when the RRM measurement value of the serving cell satisfies the first condition, the MR of the UE does not perform RRM measurement or performs RRM measurement that is more relaxed than the interval 2. For example, MR may be to make RRM measurements once every M > N DRX cycles. The LP-WUR performs RRM measurements to assist the UE in handling RRM.

Interval 2: when the RRM measurement of the serving cell does not satisfy the first condition but satisfies the fourth condition, the MR of the UE performs the RRM measurement of the serving cell at least once every N DRX cycles. In interval 2, the RRM measurement period N of the mr may be the same as the measurement period of the same frequency cell. For example, MR may be to make RRM measurements once every N > K1 DRX cycles. The LP-WUR performs RRM measurements to assist the UE in handling RRM.

Interval 3: when the RRM measurement value of the serving cell does not satisfy the fourth condition, the MR of the UE performs RRM measurement at least every DRX cycle.

For example, in one embodiment, a UE may detect LP-WUS for this UE in intervals 1 and 2. The UE may not detect the LP-WUS for this UE in interval 3. Alternatively, the UE may detect LP-WUS for the UE when the RRM measurement value of the serving cell satisfies the sixth condition in the above manner.

Fig. 5f is a schematic diagram of two-interval RRM measurement of a serving cell according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in fig. 5f, in this embodiment, RRM measurement behavior of the serving cell may be divided into 2 intervals, and as an example, the third condition and the fifth condition may be directly replaced by the sixth condition.

Interval 1: when the RRM measurement value of the serving cell satisfies the fourth condition, the MR of the UE performs a relaxed RRM measurement. For example, MR may be RRM measurements taken once every N > K1 DRX cycles. The UE performs RRM measurements through the LP-WUR to assist the UE in processing RRM.

Interval 2: when the RRM measurement value of the serving cell does not satisfy the fourth condition, the MR of the UE performs RRM measurement at least once every DRX cycle.

For example, a UE may detect LP-WUS for this UE in interval 1. The UE may not detect the LP-WUS for this UE in interval 2. Alternatively, the UE may detect LP-WUS for this UE when the RRM measurement of the serving cell satisfies the sixth condition in the manner described above.

In the above technical solution, under the condition of introducing the LP-WUS mechanism, based on the RRM measurement mechanism already supported in the related art, the LP-WUR-wake-up receiver is utilized to perform the assistance of RRM measurement, so as to further relax the RRM measurement requirement of the UE, thereby maximizing the power saving effect of the UE and improving the cruising ability of the UE.
