Some concepts and/or terms related to the method, the apparatus, the communication device, the system, and the storage medium for determining configuration information provided in the embodiments of the present application are explained below.

Dual connection (Dual Connectivity, DC): the UE is provided with resources of two network nodes (access network elements), one of which is called MN (Master node) and the other SN (Secondary node). At each network node, a carrier aggregation technique (CA), i.e. a set of serving cells, also called a cell group (cell group), controlled by the node is configured for the UE. The master node MN controls the master cell group (Master Cell Group, MCG) and the secondary node SN controls 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.

Conditional primary secondary cell addition (Conditional PSCell Addition, CPA): the conditional primary and secondary cell addition is performed after the UE evaluates the execution condition and the execution condition is satisfied; the CPA configuration contains the configuration and execution conditions of the CPA candidate cell. The execution conditions may include one to two trigger conditions.

Conditional primary secondary cell change (Conditional PSCell Change, CPC): the primary and secondary cell change is performed after the UE evaluates the execution conditions and the execution conditions are satisfied; and the UE starts to evaluate the execution condition after receiving the CPC configuration. And stopping evaluating the execution condition by the UE after the primary and secondary cell change trigger. The CPC configuration includes configuration and execution conditions of CPC candidate cells. The execution conditions may include one to two trigger conditions. Upon successful completion of the primary and secondary cell change procedure, the UE releases all stored CPC configurations. CPCs include a variety of scenarios, such as: primary and secondary cell condition change (Intra-SN CPC) within the secondary node; a primary node initiates a primary and secondary cell condition change (MN initiated Inter-SN CPC) between secondary nodes; secondary node initiated primary secondary cell condition change between secondary nodes (SN initiated Inter-SN CPC).

Full-configuration (Full-Config) and Delta-configuration (Delta-Config): in the handover preparation process, when the source node requests the target node to perform handover preparation for the UE, the source node transmits AS (access stratum) configuration information of the UE to the target node, and the target network node may configure Delta-Config or Full-configuration Full-Config for the UE based on the AS configuration information. Here, delta-Config refers to an incremental configuration provided based on the configuration of the source cell. The full configuration is that the RRC reconfiguration message carries the fullConfig indication information, and when the indication information is not present, the configuration is incremental configuration.

The determination of the configuration information provided by the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through some embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

In the PSCell change/CPAC procedure of the UE, the network side device may carry RRC configuration information in a handover request acknowledgement (Handover Request Acknowledge) message or a secondary NR node addition request acknowledgement (SgNB Addition Request Acknowledge) message, and if the RRC configuration information is delta configuration, the delta configuration is based on a source PCell (for handover) or a source PSCell (for PSCell change/CPAC). When the source PScell is continuously transformed for continuous CPAC, delta configuration based on the source PScell cannot be achieved; in the related art, delta configuration may be used for continuous CPAC flows, i.e., the terminal does not release the conditional reconfiguration after performing the CPAC once, and may perform subsequent CPACs based on the stored conditional reconfiguration information. But at present it is not clear how delta configuration is applied in consecutive CPACs.

In this embodiment, the UE may determine the first reference configuration associated with the first incremental configuration in a target manner, where the target manner includes at least one of: the UE determines the reference configuration as a first reference configuration; the UE determines a first reference configuration based on the first indication information; the UE determines configuration information of the first cell as a first reference configuration. In the scheme, the UE can determine the first reference configuration associated with the first incremental configuration in a target mode, so that the problem that the UE cannot find the first reference configuration associated with the first incremental configuration to cause the failure of the first incremental configuration in the continuous CPAC or continuous CHO process is avoided, and the problem of reconfiguration of the candidate cell in the continuous CPAC or continuous CHO process is avoided.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the first network side device may store the reference configuration sent from the second network side device, so that the first network side device may directly use the reference configuration when performing the CPAC or the primary cell change/addition or the secondary node change/addition.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the method for determining configuration information provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following step 901.

In an embodiment of the present application, the first condition includes any one of the following: the first network side equipment determines to update or release the reference configuration; the application times of the reference configuration reach the preset times; the first network side equipment receives update or release indication information sent by the second network side equipment.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first condition further includes expiration of a timer.

Specifically, when the first network side device determines/receives the reference configuration (T1) or at the time (t1+t), the first network side device starts a timer.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, all reference configurations share one timer or one reference configuration corresponds to one timer. The timer duration is determined by the first network side equipment and sent to the UE.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the preset times are determined by the first network side device and sent to the UE.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the method for determining configuration information provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following steps 1001 to 1006.

In step 1001, the first network side device sends a first reference configuration to the third network side device.

Specifically, the third network side device is a target primary node or a target secondary node.

Step 1002, the third network side device receives a first reference configuration sent by the first network side device.

In this embodiment of the present application, after the third network side device receives the first reference configuration sent by the first network side device, the third network side device may use incremental configuration when generating configuration information of the candidate cell or the target cell according to the third reference configuration.

Step 1003, the third network side device generates a first incremental configuration based on the first reference configuration.

Step 1004, the third network side device sends the first incremental configuration to the first network side device.

Step 1005, the first network side device receives the first incremental configuration sent by the third network side device.

In step 1006, the first network side device sends a first incremental configuration to the UE.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, the above step 1006 may be specifically implemented by the following step 1006 a.

In step 1006a, the first network side device sends the association relationship between the first incremental configuration and the first indication information to the UE.

In this embodiment of the present application, the first indication information includes at least one of the following: the identification of a first reference configuration corresponding to the first incremental configuration; the configuration identifier of the first reference configuration corresponding to the first incremental configuration is associated with the cell ID associated with the first reference configuration corresponding to the first incremental configuration.

In this embodiment of the present application, the first network side device may determine at least one of an identifier of a first reference configuration or an associated configuration identifier or an associated cell identifier corresponding to the first incremental configuration, and send at least one of the identifier of the first reference configuration or the associated configuration identifier or the associated cell identifier corresponding to the first incremental configuration to the UE.

In this embodiment of the present application, the first network side device may send, to the UE, the identifier of the first reference configuration corresponding to the first incremental configuration or the associated configuration identifier or the associated cell identifier through the first incremental configuration, so that the UE may directly find the reference configuration corresponding to the first incremental configuration.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 4, a method for determining configuration information provided in the present application is explained below in connection with a specific embodiment.

Step 20, the UE receives a first message sent by the network side.

The first message carries first indication information, and the first indication information is used for indicating the first configuration to be reference configuration, wherein the first configuration comprises configuration information in the first message or configuration information of a candidate cell currently in effect or configuration information indicated by the first indication information.

The reference configuration is a reference of the incremental configuration, the network side equipment configures the incremental configuration based on the reference configuration, if the parameters contained in the configuration information of the network side equipment configuration are the same as those in the associated reference configuration under the condition of supporting the configuration of the incremental configuration, the network side equipment does not configure the parameters, and if the parameters contained in the configuration information are different from those in the associated reference configuration, the network side equipment needs to configure the parameters; correspondingly, after the UE receives the incremental configuration, for the parameter that is not in the configuration, the UE considers the value of the parameter as the value of the corresponding parameter in its associated reference configuration.

The first indication information may be a newly introduced domain or an existing fullConfig domain, and when the first indication information is the existing fullConfig domain, the first indication information indicates that the first configuration is a reference configuration when the fullConfig exists in the first message; or, when fullConfig does not exist in the first message, it means that the configuration information in the first message is a delta configuration based on the configuration information currently being validated.

In case the first indication information is a newly introduced domain,

in one example, the first indication information is of a Boolean type, and indicates to the UE that the first configuration is a reference configuration when true, and is not a reference configuration when false.

In another example, the first indication information is an enumeration type of optional occurrence, and the UE is instructed to use the first configuration as a reference configuration when the first indication information occurs.

In another example, the first indication information is an integer value, when there are multiple reference configurations, the first indication information is used to indicate the reference configuration identifier, where an example is that the integer value indicated by the first indication information is N, which represents the first configuration as the nth/N-1 reference configuration

In another example, the first indication information is associated with a cell ID, and is used to indicate that configuration information associated with the cell ID is a reference configuration.

In another example, the first indication information is specific configuration information, i.e. the first configuration.

The reference configuration of the PCell and the reference configuration of the PSCell may be indicated separately or indicated together, where two indication information is introduced to indicate the reference configuration of the second PCell/MCG and the reference configuration of the third PSCell/SCG, respectively; the common indication, that is, introducing an indication information for indicating the fourth configuration as a reference configuration, including a reference configuration of PCell/MCG or PSCell/SCG. If the network side equipment is reconfigured with the configuration of the UE in the reconfiguration message carrying the first indication. Then, the configuration currently in effect refers to the configuration of the currently serving PCell or serving PSCell or MCG or SCG after the configuration parameters in the reconfiguration message are applied.

Step 21, if the first indication information indicates that the first configuration is the reference configuration, the UE stores the first configuration.

If the first configuration is for PCell change or PSCell change/addition or SN change/addition or CPAC/CHO, the UE stores the first configuration including any one of:

the UE stores a first configuration, which may be either a reference configuration or configuration information of the candidate/target cell

The UE replicates a set of first configurations, one set of first configurations being the reference configuration and another set of first configurations being the candidate cell/target cell configuration information. The reference configuration is not updatable.

Step 22, the UE determines a reference configuration.

The UE receives configuration information sent by a network side, and if the configuration information is delta configuration, the UE determines reference configuration of the configuration information according to any one of the following modes:

the UE considers the configuration information currently in effect as reference configuration;

the UE considers the configuration of the source PCell or the serving PCell as a reference configuration;

the UE considers the configuration of the source PSCell or the serving PSCell as a reference configuration;

for continuous CPACs, the source PSCell or the service PSCell comprises a reference configuration of the source PSCell or the service PSCell or the Mth source PSCell or the service PSCell when the UE executes CPACs, namely, the configuration of the source PSCell or the service PSCell corresponding to the moment when the UE executes Mth continuous CPACs;

The UE determines based on the indication information of the network side, wherein the indication information comprises second indication information, and the second indication information comprises:

referencing an identification of the configuration or an associated configuration identification;

referencing the ID of the cell with which the configuration is associated;

if the UE only supports saving 1 set of reference configuration, the UE indicates to use the saved 1 set of reference configuration as the reference configuration;

indicating to use the saved corresponding reference configuration if the UE only supports saving 1 set of MCG reference configuration and/or only 1 set of SCG reference configuration; if the MCG is reconfigured, the stored MCG reference configuration is used as the reference configuration; if the SCG is reconfigured, the stored SCG reference configuration is taken as the reference configuration.

Step 23, the UE releases or updates the fifth reference configuration.

The UE receives first information sent by a network side, wherein the first information indicates to release or update a fifth reference configuration; the first information may be 1bit indication information or identification information or configuration information of associated reference configuration information.

When there is only one reference configuration, the fifth reference configuration is the reference configuration.

When there are multiple reference configurations, the fifth reference configuration includes any one of the following:

the reference configuration, the reference configuration associated with the first information comprising an identity/configuration corresponding cell ID of the reference configuration associated with the first information; or the message carrying the first information contains the identifier of the reference configuration/the configuration identifier/the cell ID corresponding to the configuration.

The UE deletes/updates the fifth reference configuration according to the first information, including one or more of:

the UE releases/updates configuration information associated with the fifth configuration;

the associated configuration information includes at least one of: radio bearer configuration information, configuration information of Cell group, measurement configuration information, configuration information of Spcell, delta configuration with fifth reference configuration as baseline/reference configuration, trigger condition configuration of condition switching or condition PSCell addition/change associated with delta configuration with fifth reference configuration as baseline/reference configuration, and trigger condition associated with fifth configuration information.
