Description

Information reporting method, device, equipment and storage medium

Technical Field

The embodiment of the application relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to an information reporting method, an information reporting device, information reporting equipment and a storage medium.

Background

In the field of wireless communication technology, in order to improve throughput of users, a dual connection (dual connectivity, DC) technology is introduced. DC technology may support two or more base stations, including a primary base station and one or more secondary base stations, simultaneously providing data transmission services for a terminal device. Wherein the primary base station may establish a radio resource control (radio resource control, RRC) connection with the terminal device and transmit an RRC message.

In the prior art, after the terminal device establishes an RRC connection with the primary base station, a connection with the secondary base station or a PSCell for changing the connection may be established by adding/changing (conditional PSCell addition/change, CPAC) a PSCell to a conditional primary and secondary cell (primary secondary cell, PSCell). Specifically, in CPAC scenario, the network side may send multiple sets of PSCell configuration and CPAC execution conditions to the terminal device, and after the terminal device receives the multiple sets of PSCell configuration and CPAC execution conditions, the terminal device continuously monitors CPAC execution conditions, and when CPAC execution conditions are met, executes CPAC.

However, in the prior art, once PScell satisfying the condition is met, the terminal device releases the corresponding PSCell configuration after performing CPAC procedure. If the network side initiates CPAC the procedure again, the corresponding PScell configuration and CPAC execution conditions need to be reconfigured, which brings additional time delay and signaling overhead, and there is a problem of resource waste.

Detailed Description

For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.

Before introducing the application scenario and technical solution of the present application, some terms related to the present application are first introduced:

Multi-access dual connectivity (MR-RAT dual connectivity) mode

Wherein dual-connectivity (DC) is an operation mode in which a terminal device is connected to two base stations, and multi-access (MR) refers to a plurality of radio access technologies (radio access technology, RATs).

Main cell group (MASTER CELL group, MCG)

The MCG comprises one or more cells, which are the first cell group to which the terminal device is connected;

main cell (PRIMARY CELL, PCell)

The PCell is a cell in the MCG, works on the primary carrier, and is a first cell in which the terminal device is connected in the MCG;

Secondary cell group (secondary cell group SCG)

The SCG also comprises one or more cells, which are added after the terminal equipment establishes connection with the MCG;

main and auxiliary cell (primary secondry cell, PSCell)

PSCell is a cell in SCG, and is the first cell in which a terminal device connects inside the SCG. The PSCell is used for terminal equipment to perform random access or initial Physical Uplink SHARED CHANNEL (PUSCH) transmission.

Secondary cell (SCell)

The SCell operates on a secondary carrier. In DC, SCell is a cell in the MCG other than PCell, and a cell in the SCG other than PSCell.

Main node (master node, MN)

The MN is also referred to as a primary access network device, and in DC, the MN is an access network device that has control plane signaling interactions with the core network. The group of serving cells provided by the MN for the terminal device may be referred to as MCG.

Auxiliary node (secondary node, SN)

SN is also called secondary access network device, in DC SN is other access network device than MN. The group of service cells provided by the SN to the terminal device may be referred to as SCG.

The technical background and application scenario of the technical scheme of the application are simply introduced as follows

In 5G NR, for some special scenarios of terminal devices during application, for example, the terminal device is on a vehicle moving at a high speed, or under high frequency conditions, the terminal device needs to frequently switch different access devices, which are also called access points, access network devices, etc., a conditional switch (conditional handover, CHO) is introduced in a third generation partnership project (3rd generation partnership project,3GPP) protocol. In the CHO mechanism, the access network device issues a handover command to the terminal device in advance, where the handover command includes configuration information and execution conditions. The terminal device executes switching according to the received configuration information when the execution condition is met, so that the success rate of receiving the switching command by the terminal device can be improved by issuing the switching command in advance, the switching success rate is improved, and the time delay of service interruption caused by failure in receiving the switching command is avoided.

In a 5G communication system, conditional primary and secondary cell (primary secondary cell, PSCell) addition (conditional PSCell addition, CPA) and conditional primary and secondary cell change (conditional PSCELL CHANGE, CPC), collectively referred to as CPAC, may be supported with a conditional handover function. In the present application CPAC may refer to changing the configuration of the PSCell based on an increase in conditions and/or conditions. The main idea is that the network side configures multiple sets of PSCell configuration and corresponding execution conditions to the terminal equipment, and the terminal equipment continuously monitors CPAC execution conditions after receiving the execution conditions. When the execution condition is satisfied, the terminal device executes CPAC procedures.

By way of example, the flow of CPC is specifically as follows (The following PRINCIPLES APPLY to CPC):

The CPC configuration contains the configuration and execution conditions of the SN generated CPC candidate PSCell. English is interpreted as ：The CPC configuration contains the configuration of CPC candidate PSCell(s)and execution condition(s)generated by the SN.

An execution condition may comprise one or two trigger conditions. Only a single Reference Signal (RS) type may be supported with simultaneous configuration, up to two different trigger amounts (e.g., reference signal received power (REFERENCE SIGNAL RECEIVING power, RSRP) and reference signal received quality (REFERENCE SIGNAL RECEIVING quality, RSRQ), RSRP and signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (signal to interference plus noise ratio, SINR), etc.) to evaluate CPC execution conditions for a single candidate PSCell. English in particular ：An execution condition may consist of one or two trigger condition(s).Only single RS type is supported and at most two different trigger quantities(e.g.RSRP and RSRQ,RSRP and SINR,etc.)can be configured simultaneously for the evaluation of CPC execution condition of a single candidate PSCell.

-Before any CPC execution conditions are met, after receiving a PSCell change command or a PCell change command, the UE performs a PSCell change procedure or a PCell change procedure, regardless of the CPC configuration previously received. After successfully completing the PSCell change procedure or the PCell change procedure, the UE releases all stored CPC configurations. English is interpreted as ：Before any CPC execution condition is satisfied,upon reception of PSCell change command or PCell change command,the UE executes the PSCell change procedure or the PCell change procedure,regardless of any previously received CPC configuration.Upon the successful completion of PSCell change procedure or PCell change procedure,the UE releases all stored CPC configurations.

The UE need not continue to evaluate the execution conditions of other candidate pscells while executing CPC. English is interpreted as ：While executing CPC,the UE is not required to continue evaluating the execution condition of other candidate PSCell(s).

-Upon successful execution of the CPC procedure, the UE releasing all stored CPC configurations. English is interpreted as: once the CPC procedure is executed successfully, the UE RELEASES ALL stored CPC configurations.

-Upon SCG release, the UE releases the stored CPC configuration. English is interpreted as: upon THE RELEASE of SCG, the UE RELEASES THE stored CPC configurations.

The implementation flow of CPA is similar and will not be described here.

As can be seen from the above analysis, for the existing CPCA procedure, once PScell is satisfied, the terminal device performs CPAC procedure and then releases the corresponding CPAC configuration. If the network side needs to initiate CPAC the procedure again, the corresponding PScell and execution conditions need to be configured for the terminal device again, which definitely brings extra time delay and signaling overhead, and has the problems of resource waste and poor user experience.

Aiming at the problems, the technical scheme of the application comprises the following conception processes:

For the problem of resource waste in the existing CPCA procedure, the inventor of the present application thinks that if the terminal device adopts a continuous CPAC procedure, the overhead of delay and signaling can be avoided. Meanwhile, for the continuous CPAC process, if the terminal equipment does not report failure information when the terminal equipment fails in access, the network side cannot know the access condition of the current terminal equipment, so when the terminal equipment fails in execution, the network side can report the network side in time, and the network side can configure a new candidate cell to the terminal equipment based on the access failure condition of the terminal equipment, thereby avoiding the waste of resources and reducing the interruption time delay between the terminal equipment and the network side.

Based on the above technical conception process, the embodiment of the present application provides an information reporting method, where when a terminal device determines that performing a continuous first process fails, the first process includes any one of the following: CPA, CPC, CHO, reporting failure information to the network device, and correspondingly, the network device can update the cell configuration information for the terminal device according to the received failure information. According to the technical scheme, the terminal equipment executes the continuous first process, so that resource waste can be avoided, the resource utilization rate is improved, the continuous first process is reported in time when the continuous first process is failed, the interruption time delay of the terminal equipment and the network side can be reduced, and the user experience is improved.

Next, before describing the technical scheme of the present application, a communication system to which the technical scheme of the present application is applied will be described first.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a communication system to which the information reporting method provided by the present application is applicable. As shown in fig. 1, the communication system may include a terminal device and a network device. It will be appreciated that in an actual communication system, the number of terminal devices and network devices may be one or more. Fig. 1 exemplarily shows one terminal device 10 and three network devices (network device 11, network device 12, and network device 13, respectively).

Alternatively, the communication system may include a plurality of network devices, and each network device may include other number of terminal devices in a coverage area of the network device, and the number of network devices and terminal devices included in the communication system is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Alternatively, in the communication system shown in fig. 1, it is assumed that the network device 11 is a primary access network device of the terminal device 10, and accordingly, the network device 12 and the network device 13 are both secondary access network devices of the terminal device 10. Optionally, the primary access network device supports a first wireless access system, and the secondary access network device supports a second wireless access system, that is, the communication system deploys the first wireless access system and the second wireless access system simultaneously. The terminal device 10 may support simultaneous access to the primary access network device and the secondary access network device, that is, the terminal device 10 may perform uplink and downlink communications with the primary access network device, and may also perform uplink and downlink communications with the secondary access network device. It should be understood that the first wireless access system and the second wireless access system may be the same or different, which is not described herein.

In practical application, the terminal device can simultaneously receive services of a plurality of cells of the access network device under one access network device, so that a service cell group provided by the main access network device for the terminal device is called a main cell group MCG, and a service cell group provided by the auxiliary access network device for the terminal device can be called an auxiliary cell group SCG.

It should be understood that fig. 1 is only a schematic diagram, and other network devices, such as a core network device, a wireless relay device, and a wireless backhaul device, or other network entities, such as a network controller, a mobility management entity, etc., may be further included in the communication system, and embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

In general, a DC communication system supports deployment of two different radio access systems at the same time, allowing communication between devices based on the two different radio access systems, so as to improve the radio resource utilization, reduce the system switching delay, and improve the user and system performance. In a DC communication system, two network devices supporting different radio access systems are deployed simultaneously, and likewise, a terminal device may support access to the two different network devices simultaneously.

Alternatively, the wireless access system in the DC communication system may include, but is not limited to, the following: long term evolution (long term evolution, LTE) systems, LTE frequency division duplex (frequency division duplex, FDD) systems, LTE time division duplex (time division duplex, TDD), universal mobile telecommunications system (universal mobile telecommunication system, UMTS), fifth generation (5th generation,5G) systems or New Radio (NR) or other evolved telecommunications systems, and the like. For example, a long term evolution (long term evolution, LTE) system and a New Radio (NR) system may be deployed simultaneously in a dual connectivity communication system, but embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

Generally, the number of connections supported by the conventional communication system is limited and easy to implement, however, with the development of communication technology, the mobile communication system will support not only conventional communication but also, for example, device-to-device (D2D) communication, machine-to-machine (machine to machine, M2M) communication, machine type communication (MACHINE TYPE communication, MTC), inter-vehicle (vehicle to vehicle, V2V) communication, etc., and the embodiments of the present application may also be applied to these communication systems, that is, the technical solution of the present application may also be applied to the fields of internet of vehicles, intelligent driving, intelligent network coupling, etc.

The system architecture and the service scenario described in the embodiments of the present application are for more clearly describing the technical solution provided in the embodiments of the present application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solution provided in the embodiments of the present application, and those skilled in the art can know that, with the evolution of the network architecture and the appearance of a new service scenario, the technical solution provided in the embodiments of the present application is equally applicable to similar technical problems.

The network device involved in the embodiment of the present application may be a common base station (such as NodeB or eNB or gNB), a new radio controller (new radio controller, NR controller), a centralized network element (centralized unit), a new radio base station, a remote radio module, a micro base station, a relay (relay), a distributed network element (distributed unit), a receiving point (transmission reception point, TRP), a transmission point (transmission point, TP), or any other device. The embodiment of the application does not limit the specific technology and the specific equipment form adopted by the network equipment. For convenience of description, in all embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned apparatus for providing a wireless communication function for a terminal device is collectively referred to as a network device.

In the embodiment of the application, the terminal device may be any terminal, for example, the terminal device may be a user device for machine type communication. That is, the terminal device may also be referred to as a User Equipment (UE), mobile Station (MS), mobile terminal (mobile terminal), access terminal, subscriber unit, subscriber station, mobile station, remote terminal, mobile device, user terminal, wireless communication device, user agent, user equipment, or the like, which may communicate with one or more core networks via a radio access network (radio access network, RAN), such as a mobile telephone (or "cellular" telephone), a computer with a mobile terminal, or the like, such as a portable, pocket, hand-held, computer-built-in, or vehicle-mounted mobile device that exchanges voice and/or data with the radio access network, such as a wearable device, or the like. The embodiment of the application is not particularly limited.

Alternatively, the network devices and terminal devices may be deployed on land, including indoors or outdoors, hand-held or vehicle-mounted; the device can be deployed on the water surface; but also on aerial planes, balloons and satellites. The embodiment of the application does not limit the application scenes of the network equipment and the terminal equipment.

Optionally, communication between the network device and the terminal device and between the terminal device and the terminal device may be performed through a licensed spectrum (licensed spectrum), communication may be performed through an unlicensed spectrum (unlicensed spectrum), and communication may also be performed through both the licensed spectrum and the unlicensed spectrum. The embodiment of the application does not limit the frequency spectrum resources used between the network equipment and the terminal equipment.

The technical scheme of the application is described in detail through specific embodiments. It should be noted that, the technical solution of the present application may include some or all of the following, and the following specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in some embodiments.

Fig. 2 is an interaction schematic diagram of a first embodiment of an information reporting method provided by the present application. The method is explained with information interaction between the terminal device and the network device. As shown in fig. 2, the information reporting method may include the following steps:

S201, the terminal equipment determines that the continuous first process fails to be executed, wherein the first process comprises any one of the following steps: CPA, CPC, CHO.

In an embodiment of the application, the terminal device may perform the continuous first procedure based on configuration information received from the network device.

Optionally, the configuration information may be RRC reconfiguration information, or cell configuration information, where the RRC reconfiguration information may be incremental configuration information of the primary and secondary cells configured by the network device before, and the cell configuration information may be total configuration information of the primary and secondary cells configured by the network device. The embodiment of the application does not limit the specific implementation of the configuration information.

As an example, when the terminal device receives the CPA command from the network device, similarly, it may continuously monitor whether at least one candidate cell included in the CPA command satisfies the CPA execution condition, and when the first candidate cell is satisfied, execute the CPA process for the first candidate cell. At this time, when the number of times of failure of the CPA process is smaller than a preset threshold, the terminal device does not release the configuration resource of the first candidate cell after each time of execution of the CPA process is finished, continuously monitors whether the at least one candidate cell meets the execution condition of the CPA, and executes the corresponding CPA process according to the monitoring result.

Similarly, the procedure for the terminal device to perform CPC or CHO is similar. For example, the terminal device continuously monitors whether the CHO command received from the network device includes at least one candidate cell satisfying the CHO execution condition based on the CHO command, which is described in the CHO procedure. If the first candidate cell is satisfied, the CHO procedure is performed for the first candidate cell. And when the number of failed CHO processes is smaller than a preset threshold, the terminal device will not release the configuration resources of the first candidate cell after each CHO process is completed, and will continuously evaluate whether the at least one candidate cell satisfies the CHO execution conditions, and execute the corresponding CHO process according to the monitoring result.

Optionally, in this step, when the terminal device performs the first procedure, a case may occur in which the first procedure fails to be performed. For example, due to random access failure, cell configuration failure, radio link failure, cell synchronization procedure failure, integrity check failure in the access procedure, etc., the terminal device fails to perform the first procedure. The reason for the failure of executing the first process is not limited, and may be determined according to an actual scenario, which is not described herein.

S202, the terminal equipment reports failure information to the network equipment.

For example, in order to make the network device timely acquire related information that the terminal device fails to execute the first procedure, the terminal device may report failure information to the network device after each failure to execute the first procedure, so that the network device analyzes the reason of the failure of the first procedure and updates the cell configuration information for the terminal device.

Alternatively, in an embodiment of the present application, the failure information may include at least one of the following information:

A1, a failure type is used for indicating the type of the first process;

by way of example, the failure type may include any of the following: CPA failure, CPC failure, CHO failure.

In particular, the failure type may be used to indicate the cause of the failure trigger, i.e. the type of the first procedure, e.g. whether the failure is due to CPC, CPA, CHO, etc.

Further, in this embodiment, the failure type may also be used to indicate a failure due to the nth execution of the first procedure, for example, a failure due to the nth execution of the CPC, a failure due to the nth execution of the CPA procedure, or a failure due to the nth execution of the CHO procedure, etc., where N is a positive integer.

A2, failure times, which are used for indicating times of failure in executing the first process;

Alternatively, the number of failures may specifically include the number of failures to attempt execution of the first procedure. For example, the number of CPC failures attempted to be performed, the number of CPA failures attempted to be performed, the number of CHO failures attempted to be performed, and the like.

A3, the success times are used for indicating the success times of executing the first process;

Optionally, if the first procedure is a CPC procedure, the number of successes is used to indicate the number of times the procedure of CPC is successfully executed before the first procedure is failed; similarly, if the first procedure is CPAC procedures, the success number is used to indicate that the CPA/CPC procedure is successfully executed before the first procedure is failed, and it can be understood that the first procedure executed again after the terminal device successfully executes the CPA procedure is a CPC procedure; if the first procedure is the number of CHO procedures, the number of successes is used to indicate the number of CHO procedures that were successfully performed before the first procedure failed to be performed.

A4, accessing resources for executing the resources selected in the first process;

optionally, the access resource refers to a resource selected by random access when the first procedure is performed. Optionally, the access resource may include a preamble resource, a time-frequency resource, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

A5, cell monitoring results;

Optionally, the cell monitoring result is a measurement result of the terminal device, specifically, a monitoring situation of a candidate cell configured by the network device. Optionally, the cell monitoring result refers to cell signal quality, which may specifically include: received signal code power (RECEIVED SIGNAL code power, RSCP), reference signal received power (REFERENCE SIGNAL RECEIVING power, RSRP), reference signal received quality (REFERENCE SIGNAL RECEIVED quality, RSRQ), signal-to-noise ratio (signal to interference plus noise ratio, SINR), and the like. It can be appreciated that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific content of the cell monitoring result, and can be determined according to the actual scenario

A6, cell identification information;

optionally, the cell identification information includes at least one of:

The method comprises the steps of current service cell identification, identification of a first candidate cell, primary access network equipment identification and secondary access network equipment identification.

For example, the cell identification information in the failure information may include a current serving cell identification of the terminal device, a candidate cell identification of the terminal device attempting to access, for example, an identification of a first candidate cell, that is, a candidate cell satisfying the execution condition corresponding to the first procedure.

Further, in the DC scenario, the cell identification may further include: the identity of the MN and/or the identity of the SN. The identification of the MN is the identification of the primary access network equipment, and the identification of the SN is the identification of the secondary access network equipment.

A7, the access times are used for indicating the total times of executing the first process;

Alternatively, in this embodiment, since the terminal device may continuously execute the first procedure, when the terminal device fails to execute the first procedure and reports the failure information, the total number of times of executing the first procedure may be reported to the network device. Optionally, the number of accesses is a sum of a number of times the first procedure is successfully performed and a number of times the first procedure is failed to be performed.

A8, the Kth first process executed for the first candidate cell fails, wherein K is a positive integer, and the first candidate cell is a candidate cell meeting the execution condition corresponding to the first process.

Alternatively, in this embodiment, when the terminal device performs the continuous first procedure, the candidate cells for which different first procedures are aimed may be different, for example, the terminal device performs the first procedure successfully for the first candidate cell at the first time, performs the first procedure successfully for the second candidate cell at the second time, and performs the first procedure failure for the first candidate cell at the third time, where the terminal device may report the first procedure failure performed for the third time, and may fail the first procedure performed for the first candidate cell at the 2 nd time.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, the failure information is also referred to as any one of the following:

MCG failure information, SCG failure information.

Specifically, when the first process is any one of CPA, CPC, CHO, the terminal device may report the failure information through failure information; when the first procedure is CPA or CPC, the terminal device may report the failure information through MCG failure information or SCG failure information.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the failure information is carried on radio signaling bearer 1 (SIGNALING RADIO BEARER, srb 1) or radio signaling bearer 3 SRB3.

Specifically, in this step, if the network device is a primary access network device, the terminal device may report failure information to the primary access network device according to SRB1 between the terminal device and the primary access network device; if the network device is the auxiliary access network device, the terminal device may report failure information to the auxiliary access network device according to the SRB3 between the terminal device and the auxiliary access network device.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the failure of the first procedure in S201 includes any one of the following:

The number of random accesses exceeds the retransmission number threshold and the timer times out.

As an example, the terminal device may have a configured threshold number of retransmissions stored therein, and thus the terminal device may perform random access on the selected access resource when performing the first procedure. Optionally, the terminal device may execute the random access procedure multiple times before the access is successful, but if the number of times of random access executed by the terminal device exceeds the configured threshold of retransmission times, the terminal device is considered to fail to execute the first procedure.
