Background technique

With the pursuit of speed, delay, high-speed mobility, energy efficiency, and the diversity and complexity of business in the future. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) International Standards Organization began to develop the fifth generation of mobile communication technology (5-Generation, 5G). The main application scenarios of 5G are: Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communication (URLLC), Massive Machine Type of Communication (mMTC). ).

In the early deployment of New Radio (NR), complete NR coverage is difficult to obtain, so the typical network coverage is wide-area Long Term Evolution (LTE) coverage and NR's island coverage mode. And because a large number of LTE deployments are below 6 GHz, there are few spectrums below 6 GHz that can be used for 5G. Therefore, NR must study spectrum applications above 6 GHz, while high-band coverage is limited and signal fading is fast.

Specifically, LTE-NR dual connection (Dual Connection (DC) transmission data is supported by a combination of bandwidths to improve system throughput.

However, for the above-mentioned tight interworking mode of operation between LTE and NR, if the frequency at which LTE needs to be measured is at a high frequency, there is no specific measurement method in the prior art.

Detailed ways

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the terminal device 110 is connected to the second network device 130 under the first communication system and the first network device 120 under the second communication system. For example, the second network device 130 is a long term evolution (Long Term Evolution). Network device under LTE), the first network device 120 is a network device under New Radio (NR).

The second network device 130 and the first network device 120 may include multiple cells.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device 110 can measure the power (signal quality) of the target cell and report it to the second network device 130.

Specifically, if the target cell and the current cell frequency are the same (same frequency measurement), the terminal device 110 can measure the signal quality of the target cell more easily; but if their frequencies are different (inter-frequency measurement), the terminal device 110 is difficult. A measurement is performed on the signal quality of the target cell.

In a logical sense, the simplest solution for inter-frequency measurement is to implement two sets of radio frequency (RF) transceivers on the UE. However, there are practical difficulties with dual RF transceiver solutions. One problem is that the extra cost is required to implement additional transceivers, resulting in excessive cost. Another problem is possible interference between the current frequency and the target frequency, especially when both When approaching, especially for dual-link scenarios.

In order to solve the above problem, in the embodiment of the present invention, a method for measuring a frequency point of a network device for a terminal device is proposed. In the scenario shown in FIG. 1, a measurement gap is configured for the terminal device 110, thereby The measurement interval configured by the terminal device 110 can be used to perform inter-frequency measurement or intra-frequency measurement. Specifically, the terminal device 110 can switch to the target cell and perform signal quality measurement, and then switch back to the current cell (continue to normal transmission and reception). jobs).

In other words, the measurement interval (current cell) configured by the terminal device is not used to transmit data nor to accept data.

Further, since the NR is at a high frequency and the LTE is at a low frequency in the LTE-NR scenario, the RF channels of LTE and NR are different in product design. That is, the MN and the SN independently configure the measurement configuration for the UE.

For example, radio frequency (FR1) supporting LTE and FR2 supporting NR are independent. That is, the terminal device 110 operates at different frequencies from the second network device 130 and the first network device 120, respectively, whereby the terminal device 110 is independent of the gap configured for the FR1 and the terminal device 110 for the gap configured for the FR2.

More specifically, the second network device 130 configures measurement configuration information for the UE by using the LTE radio resource control (RRC), and the UE reports the measurement related to the configuration to the second network device 130 to the second network device 130. In this configuration, all cells of the primary cell group (MCG) are considered to be serving cells, and cells of other cells including secondary CGs (SCGs) are considered as neighboring cells.

The first network device 120 configures measurement configuration information for the UE by using the NR RRC, and the UE reports the measurement related to the configuration to the first network device 120 to the first network device 120. In this configuration, all cells of the SCG are considered to be serving cells, and cells of other cells including the MCG are considered to be neighbor cells.

It can be found that the second network device 130 and the first network device 120 independently configure the measurement configuration for the UE. Therefore, for the frequency point at which the second network device 130 needs to be measured is at a high frequency, this independent configuration does not enable measurement of the high frequency point.

In order to solve the above problem, a method for measuring a frequency point is provided in the embodiment of the present invention. When the second network device 130 requires the terminal device 110 to measure a certain high frequency frequency point, the first network device 120 can be used as a terminal. The device 110 allocates configuration information for measuring the high frequency frequency, thereby enabling the terminal device 110 to effectively perform frequency point measurement and reporting.

It should be understood that FIG. 1 is an example of a scenario of an embodiment of the present invention, and an embodiment of the present invention is not limited to that shown in FIG. 1.

For example, the communication system adapted by the embodiment of the present invention may include at least a plurality of network devices under the first communication system and/or a plurality of network devices under the second communication system.

For another example, the first communication system and the second communication system in the embodiment of the present invention are different, but the specific categories of the first communication system and the second communication system are not limited. For example, the first communication system and the second communication system may be various communication systems, such as a Global System of Mobile communication (GSM) system, a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD) ), Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), etc.

The terminal device 110 can be any terminal device. Specifically, the terminal device can communicate with one or more core networks (Core Network) via a Radio Access Network (RAN), and can also be referred to as an access terminal, a user equipment (User Equipment, UE), and a user. Unit, subscriber station, mobile station, mobile station, remote station, remote terminal, mobile device, user terminal, terminal, wireless communication device, user agent or user device.
