技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,尤其涉及信息传输的方法及装置。
背景技术
在移动通信系统中,传统的切换流程中,连接态终端设备的移动性管理是由网络设备控制的,即网络设备通过发送切换消息指示终端设备切换到哪个小区以及如何进行切换。传统的切换机制可以包括,源网络设备(即源小区所属的网络设备)向终端设备发送切换消息以控制终端设备从源小区切换到目标小区。所述切换消息是无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)消息,具体的,该RRC消息可以是携带同步重配置信元(reconfiguration with sync)的RRC重配置消息或者可以是携带移动性控制信息信元(mobility control info)的RRC连接重配置消息。终端设备在接收到该切换消息后,根据切换消息中包含的内容,接入目标小区,因此,切换消息的成功发送是保证传统切换机制下成功切换的必要条件。然而,在长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统或第五代移动通信技术(5th-generation,5G)(尤其是高频场景下)中,信道质量的快速衰减、或者终端设备的快速移动以及物体的遮挡,或者测量、切换准备的持续时间较长等都会导致切换消息发送失败,进而导致切换失败,降低切换成功率。
鉴于上述问题,现有技术提出条件切换(conditional handover,CHO)机制以提升切换成功率,即源网络设备在源链路质量较好时向终端设备发送条件切换的配置信息,该配置信息中包括网络设备为该终端设备配置的切换触发条件以及该切换触发条件对应的一个或多个候选小区的信息。终端设备在接收到该条件切换的配置信息后,根据该配置信息判断各候选小区是否满足切换触发条件,将满足切换触发条件的某候选小区作为目标小区,从而切换到该目标小区。由于CHO机制中,源网络设备在源链路通信质量较好的情况下向终端设备发送条件切换的配置信息,因此保证了该配置信息的发送成功率,进而,终端设备根据该配置信息自行选择目标小区并进行切换,可以提高切换的成功率。
无论在传统切换机制还是在CHO机制中,切换相关的参数始终是直接影响到切换成功率的关键因素之一。在传统切换机制中,为了优化切换参数,引入移动鲁棒性优化(mobility robustness optimization,MRO)机制,即终端设备向网络设备发送移动失败过程中的相关信息,网络设备再根据终端设备上报的该相关信息进行切换参数的优化。在现有MRO机制下,终端设备一般在以下两种场景下记录移动失败过程中的相关信息,并发送给网络设备:①终端设备接收切换消息失败,发生无线链路失败(radio link failure,RLF);②终端设备成功接收到切换消息,但是没有成功接入到目标小区或者成功接入目标小区后很快发生RLF。
然而,由于CHO机制与传统切换机制之间的区别,现有的传统切换机制中的MRO机制并不适合CHO机制下的切换参数优化,因此,目前尚没有好的机制来及时准确地进行条件切换机制下的切换参数的优化。
发明内容
鉴于上述问题,本申请实施例提供一种信息传输的方法、装置、系统,可以解决条件切 换机制下切换参数的优化问题。
为达到上述目的,本申请的实施例采用如下技术方案:
第一方面,提供了一种信息传输的方法及相应的通信装置。该方案中,终端设备接收条件切换配置信息,该条件切换配置信息包括切换触发条件以及M个候选小区的信息,M为正整数;该终端设备发送候选目标小区对应的第一失败原因值,和/或,待定小区对应的第二失败原因值;其中,候选目标小区包括M个侯选小区中满足上述切换触发条件的X个小区,待定小区包括M个侯选小区中不满足上述切换触发条件的Y个小区,X、Y为自然数,X+Y小于或者等于M。由于本申请实施例中,终端设备可以发送条件切换机制下候选目标小区对应的第一失败原因值,和/或,待定小区对应的第二失败原因值,因此,网络侧可以根据上述失败原因值对切换参数进行优化。因此,基于本申请实施例提供的方案,可以解决条件切换机制下切换参数的优化问题。
在一种可能的设计中,该终端设备还可以发送源小区的信息、上述候选目标小区的信息、候选目标小区中每个小区各自对应的第一时间信息、上述待定小区的信息、待定小区中每个小区各自对应的第二时间信息中的一项或多项。由于本申请实施例中,终端设备可以发送条件切换机制下上述信息中的一项或多项,因此,网络侧可以根据终端设备上报的不同信息对切换参数进行更加全面的优化,使得后续配置候选小区时,配置的切换参数更合理。
在一种可能的设计中,若终端设备在第一目标小区接入成功,终端设备还可以发送该第一目标小区的信息、该第一目标小区对应的第三原因值、第三时间信息中的一项或多项,其中,该第一目标小区为所述M个候选小区中终端设备接入成功的小区。由于本申请实施例中,终端设备还发送条件切换成功时的相关信息,因此,在后续CHO过程中配置候选小区时,可以优先将该条件切换执行成功的小区配置成候选小区,使得网络侧配置的条件切换配置信息更合理。另一方面,若条件切换机制是传统切换的备胎机制,则通过将条件切换成功时的相关信息上报给网络设备,网络侧可以得知传统的切换过程没有触发或网络侧配置了传统的切换过程,但终端设备根据传统的切换消息,执行的传统切换过程并没有成功,进而,网络侧可以根据终端设备上报的条件切换成功时的相关信息,进行传统切换过程和/或条件切换过程中相关参数的调整,使得网络侧触发了条件切换过程后,能够继续触发传统切换过程,提高系统可靠性。
在一种可能的设计中,终端设备在第一目标小区接入成功之前,还可以接收RRC重配置消息,该RRC重配置消息用于指示所述终端设备执行传统切换,该RRC重配置消息中包括第二目标小区的信息。终端设备根据该RRC重配置消息在该第二目标小区进行接入;或者,终端设备可以确定未接收到该RRC重配置消息。由于本申请实施例中,终端设备在条件切换成功之前可以接收用于指示终端设备执行传统切换的RRC重配置消息,并根据该RRC重配置消息执行传统切换,因此,一方面,实现了条件切换机制作为传统切换机制的补充机制;另一方面,在传统切换失败时可以继续进行条件切换,从而可以弥补传统切换的不足,提高切换成功率。
第二方面,提供了一种信息传输的方法及相应的通信装置。该方案中,第一网络设备向终端设备发送条件切换配置信息,该条件切换配置信息包括切换触发条件以及M个候选小区的信息,M为正整数;该第一网络设备接收来自第二网络设备的候选目标小区对应的第一失败原因值,和/或,待定小区对应的第二失败原因值,其中,该候选目标小区包括上述M个侯选小区中满足上述切换触发条件且终端设备接入失败的X个小区,该待定小区包括上述M个侯选小区中不满足上述切换触发条件的Y个小区,X、Y为自然数,X+Y小于或者等于M。 其中,第二方面所带来的技术效果可参见上述第一方面所带来的技术效果,此处不再赘述。
在一种可能的设计中,该第一网络设备还可以接收来自该第二网络设备的以下信息中的一项或多项:源小区的信息、所述候选目标小区的信息、所述候选目标小区中每个小区各自对应的第一时间信息、所述待定小区的信息、所述待定小区中每个小区各自对应的第二时间信息。
在一种可能的设计中,该第一网络设备还可以接收来自该第二网络设备的以下信息中的一项或多项:第一目标小区的信息、所述第一目标小区对应的第三原因值、第三时间信息,其中,所述第一目标小区为所述M个候选小区中所述终端设备接入成功的小区。
在一种可能的设计中,该第一网络设备可以根据接收到的上述第一失败原因值,和/或,第二失败原因值,以及上述其他信息中的一项或多项,进行条件切换机制下的切换参数优化。一种可能的方式中,若第一网络设备接收到上述第一失败原因值,和/或,第二失败原因值后,该第一网络设备在后续配置候选小区时,例如,下一次或者后续的CHO过程中,可以排除某个候选目标小区,即不再将该候选目标小区配置成候选小区,这样,终端设备进行下一次或者后续的条件切换时无需再判断该候选目标小区是否满足切换触发条件,降低终端设备的能量消耗和终端设备的实现复杂度;或者,若条件切换配置信息中配置事件A3,为该A3事件配置了参数Q为例,第一网络设备在后续配置切换触发条件时,可以改变配置的参数Q的数值。另一种可能的方式中,对于某个发生条件切换失败的小区(如候选目标小区或待定小区),如果在上述第一时间信息指示的时间间隔内,网络设备已经重新配置了该发生条件切换失败的小区对应的切换触发条件中的相关参数(如以A3为例,重新配置了参数R),则网络设备可以将接收到的来自终端设备的对应该发生条件切换失败的小区的相关信息删除、丢弃或者忽略,不再调整该发生条件切换失败的小区对应的切换触发条件中的相关参数。另一种可能的实现方式中,第一网络设备接收到包括传统切换失败相关信息的MRO相关信息后,在后续配置候选小区时可以不再将上述第二目标小区配置成候选小区或目标小区;或者,在后续传统切换流程中,第一网络设备可以调整测量配置中的相关事件的参数,例如,测量配置中配置了A3事件,为该A3事件配置了偏移量P,则第一网络设备可以改变P的数值,进而达到优化的目的。

在一种可能的设计中,该第二网络设备还可以接收来自终端设备的以下信息中的一项或多项,并向上述第一网络设备发送上述以下信息中的一项或多项:源小区的信息、候选目标小区的信息、候选目标小区中每个小区各自对应的第一时间信息、待定小区的信息、待定小区中每个小区各自对应的第二时间信息。
在一种可能的设计中,该第二网络设备还可以接收来自终端设备的以下信息中的一项或多项,并向上述第一网络设备发送上述以下信息中的一项或多项:第一目标小区的信息、该第一目标小区对应的第三原因值、第三时间信息,其中,该第一目标小区为所述M个候选小 区中所述终端设备接入成功的小区。

一般来说,一个小区由一个下行载波和一个上行载波组成。但5G的新无线电(new radio,NR)通信系统部署高频小区时,由于NR运行频段较高且终端设备的发射功率较低,处于小区边缘区域的终端设备可以接收到网络设备(如基站)的信号,但是网络无法接收到终端设备的信号,即存在上下行覆盖不对称的问题。为了解决这个问题,引入另外一段低频频段(如LTE的频段)用于辅助终端设备进行上行传输(即引入补充上行链路(supplementary uplink,SUL)),因此终端设备拥有两段上行链路(uplink,UL)载波频谱进行上行传输。支持SUL配置的小区有一个下行载波和两个上行载波,为了区分两个上行载波,一个称为SUL载波,另一个称为正常上行链路(normal uplink,NUL)载波。可选的,本申请实施例中,如果候选目标小区支持配置SUL,当终端设备在该支持配置SUL的候选目标小区接入失败时,上述第一信息中还可以包括终端设备在该候选目标小区接入失败时所使用的UL载波信息(如NUL或SUL),以指示终端设备是在该候选目标小区的NUL还是SUL接入失败;或者,终端设备也可以不显式地发送载波信息,例如,协议规定当终端设备不发送载波信息时,默认终端设备在该候选目标小区的NUL接入失败或者默认在该候选目标小区的SUL接入失败,本申请对此不做具体限定。

或者,另一种可能的实现方式中,第一目标小区对应的第三时间信息包括:从终端设备接收到条件切换配置信息的时刻到终端设备在第一目标小区接入成功的时刻之间的时间间隔信息、以及从终端设备在第一目标小区接入成功的时刻到终端设备发送该第一目标小区对应的第三原因值的时刻之间的时间间隔信息(或者,从终端设备在第一目标小区接入成功的时刻到终端设备发送上述第一信息的时刻之间的时间间隔信息;或者,从终端设备在第一目标小区接入成功的时刻到终端设备发送上述第二信息的时刻之间的时间间隔)。
或者,另一种可能的实现方式中,第一目标小区对应的第三时间信息包括:从终端设备接收到条件切换配置信息的时刻到终端设备触发切换至第一目标小区的时刻之间的时间间隔信息、从终端设备触发切换至第一目标小区的时刻到终端设备发送该第一目标小区对应的第三原因值的时刻之间的时间间隔信息(或者,从终端设备触发切换至第一目标小区的时刻到终端设备发送上述第一信息的时刻之间的时间间隔信息;或者,从终端设备在第一目标小区接入成功的时刻到终端设备发送上述第二信息的时刻之间的时间间隔)。或者,第一目标小区对应的第三时间信息为从终端设备接收到条件切换配置信息的时刻到该终端设备发送该第一目标小区对应的第三原因值的时刻之间的时间间隔信息(或者,第一目标小区对应的第三时间信息为从终端设备接收到条件切换配置信息的时刻到该终端设备发送上述第一信息的时刻之间的时间间隔信息;或者,从终端设备在第一目标小区接入成功的时刻到终端设备发送上述第二信息的时刻之间的时间间隔)。

在条件切换机制作为传统切换机制的一种补充技术时,存在一种可能的场景1,即:终端设备收到条件切换配置信息后,判断候选小区是否满足切换触发条件,若在还没有确定出满足切换触发条件的小区或者确定出了满足切换触发条件的小区但还没有成功接入到该小区前,终端设备收到传统切换消息,此时,终端设备可以根据该传统切换消息,尝试接入到该第二目标小区。若终端设备在第二目标小区接入成功,则可选的,终端设备可以丢弃/删除条件切换配置信息,若终端设备在第二目标小区接入失败,则终端设备可以继续根据该条件切换配置信息进行条件切换。
在条件切换机制作为传统切换机制的一种补充技术时,还存在一种可能的场景2,即:终端设备接收到条件切换配置信息后,确定出满足切换触发条件的小区且成功切换到该小区,也就是说在终端设备成功切换到满足切换触发条件的小区前,源网络设备没有给终端设备发送传统切换消息;或者源网络设备向终端设备发送了传统切换消息但是终端设备没有接收到源网络设备发送的该传统切换消息,此时,终端设备可以根据上述条件切换配置信息执行条件切换。其中,终端设备没有收到该传统切换消息的一种可能是,源链路质量较差。源网络设备没有向终端设备发送传统切换消息的一种可能是,源网络设备与确定出的第二目标小区所属的网络设备间进行的切换准备过程失败或消耗的时间太长,导致网络过晚配置或者没有配置传统的切换流程,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。

其中,在上述S601中:
可选的,该消息1可以为携带同步重配置信元(reconfiguration with sync)的RRC重配置消息;或者,该消息1可以为新定义的RRC消息,如该消息1为条件切换消息,或者该消息1有其他命名;或者,该消息1可以为携带移动性控制信息信元(mobility control info)的RRC连接重配置消息,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。
可选的,本申请实施例中,M个候选小区中的每个候选小区的信息可以包括以下信息中的一项或多项:该候选小区所对应的小区标识(如PCI以及小区所对应的频率信息,和/或,小区全球标识(cell global identity,CGI),例如,可以将PCI以及小区所对应的频率信息作为小区的标识,也可以将CGI作为小区的标识)、该候选小区为该终端设备分配的小区无线网络临时标识(cell radio network temporary identifier,C-RNTI)、该候选小区所关联的随机接入信道(random accesschannel,RACH)资源,例如,该随机接入信道RACH资源可以包括专用随机接入资源和/或公共随机接入资源,其中,专用随机接入资源包括前导码索引和第一时频资源,公共随机接入资源包括第二时频资源,频率信息包括以下一项或多项:同步信号块SSB的绝对频率(如absoluteFrequencySSB)、参考资源模块(common RB0)的绝对频率位置(如absoluteFrequencyPointA)、频率带宽列表(如frequencyBandList)、子载波间隔(如subcarrier spacing,SCS)、SCS特定的载波列表(如scs-SpecificCarrierList)。
其中,本申请实施例中,切换触发条件用于终端设备判断M个候选小区中的任意一个小区是否可以触发切换。可选的,条件切换配置信息中的切换触发条件有多种可能的配置。
示例性的,一种切换触发条件的可能配置为,配置切换触发事件为A3事件,为该A3事件配置参数Q,则当M个候选小区中的某小区的信号质量比该终端设备当前服务小区的信号质量高出Q时,该小区满足切换触发条件。可以看出,Q为一阈值,其单位可以为分贝(dB)或分贝毫瓦(dBm),本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。
或者,另一种切换触发条件的可能配置为,配置切换触发事件为A5事件,为该A5事件配置参数K和L,则当M个候选小区中的某小区的信号质量高于K并且该终端设备当前服 务小区的信号质量低于L时,该小区满足切换触发条件,其中,该终端设备的当前服务小区指终端设备接收到该条件切换配置信息时的服务小区,即该终端设备的当前服务小区是源小区。可以看出,K和L均为阈值,其单位可以为分贝(dB)或分贝毫瓦(dBm),本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。
可选的,本申请实施例中的切换触发条件可以与M个候选小区中的各个小区一一对应,也就是说,网络设备可以配置M个切换触发条件,该M个切换触发条件与M个候选小区一一对应;或者,网络设备可以为多个候选小区配置同一个切换触发条件,本申请对此不做具体限定。示例性的,以源小区为小区A,条件切换配置信息中配置了B、C、D三个候选小区为例,可以为小区B配置切换触发条件1,为小区C配置切换触发条件2,为小区D配置切换触发条件3;或者,可以为小区B和C配置切换触发条件4,为小区D配置切换触发条件5;或者,可以为小区B、C、D配置同一切换触发条件6。
需要说明的是,上述切换触发条件的配置以及切换触发条件和候选小区的对应关系只是本申请的示例性说明,实际应用中本申请对此不做具体限定。
其中,本申请实施例中,终端设备在判断候选小区中的小区是否满足切换触发条件时,可以采用“轮询式”判断,也可以采用“一次性”判断。“轮询式”判断指终端设备会重复判断已经判断过的候选小区是否满足切换触发条件,“一次性”判断指终端设备不会重复判断已经判断过的候选小区是否满足切换触发条件。“轮询式”判断中,终端设备判断候选小区是否满足切换触发条件的总时长可以是协议约定的,也可以是网络设备发送给终端设备的(如第一网络设备向终端设备发送的消息1中可以包含该总时长的信息,本申请对此不做具体限定)。当然,可选的,“轮询式”判断也可以没有时间限制。示例性的,条件切换配置信息中配置了候选小区B和小区C,如果终端设备确定出小区B不满足切换触发条件,后续可以继续判断小区B是否满足切换触发条件,此时即为“轮询式”判断。如果终端设备一旦判断出小区B不满足切换触发条件,后续不再判断小区B是否满足切换触发条件,此时即为“一次性”判断。
此外,终端设备根据条件切换配置信息判断候选小区中的小区是否满足切换触发条件时,若终端设备在配置的候选小区中的一个满足切换触发条件的小区接入失败后或者终端设备确定候选小区中的一个小区不满足切换触发条件后,可以继续判断候选小区中的小区是否满足切换触发条件(此时,终端设备可以采用“轮询式”判断,也可以采用“一次性判断”,本申请对此不做具体限定),直到终端设备确定出满足切换触发条件的小区,并在该满足切换触发条件的小区成功接入,此时,上述整个过程可以看成一轮CHO过程;或者,直到终端设备判断完所有的候选小区是否满足切换触发条件,即所有的候选小区都被终端设备进行过至少一次是否满足切换触发条件的判断(此时,终端设备可以采用“轮询式”判断,也可以采用“一次性判断”,本申请对此不做具体限定),此时,上述整个过程可以看成一轮CHO过程,在该轮CHO中,所有候选小区可能均不满足切换触发条件或终端设备在候选小区中所有满足切换触发条件的小区均接入失败。示例性的,以条件切换配置信息中配置了候选小区B、候选小区C和候选小区D,终端设备采用“一次性”判断为例,若终端设备首先判断出小区B不满足切换触发条件或小区B满足切换触发条件但终端设备在小区B接入失败,终端设备可以继续判断剩下的候选小区(如终端设备可以继续判断小区C或小区D)是否满足切换触发条件,若终端设备判断出小区D满足切换触发条件且终端设备在小区D成功接入,则终端设备不再判断小区C是否满足切换触发条件。或者,示例性的,条件切换配置信息中配置了候选小区B、候选小区C和候选小区D,若终端设备首先判断出小区B不满足切换触发条件或小区B 满足切换触发条件但终端设备在小区B接入失败,终端设备可以继续判断剩下的候选小区(如终端设备可以继续判断小区C或小区D)是否满足切换触发条件,若终端设备判断出小区D满足切换触发条件但终端设备在小区D接入失败或小区D不满足切换触发条件,则终端设备继续判断小区C是否满足切换触发条件。
或者,一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备根据条件切换配置信息判断候选小区中的小区是否满足切换触发条件时,至多进行N次判断,其中N可以是协议约定的,也可以是网络设备发送给终端设备的(如第一网络设备向终端设备发送的消息1中可以包含该N值,N是大于或等于1的整数)。在该实现方式中,若终端设备在配置的候选小区中的一个满足切换触发条件的小区接入失败后或者终端设备确定候选小区中的一个小区不满足切换触发条件后,可以继续进行后续的判断,即判断候选小区中的小区是否满足切换触发条件(此时,终端设备可以采用“轮询式”判断,也可以采用“一次性判断”,本申请对此不做具体限定),直到下面情形中的任意一个情形出现,终端设备停止判断:1)终端设备判断的总次数达到N次,2)在判断次数达到N次之前,终端设备能够确定出满足切换触发条件的小区,并在该满足切换触发条件的小区成功接入。当N次判断都完成,终端设备不再进行判断,上述整个过程可以看成一轮CHO过程;或者,当终端设备判断的总次数并没有达到N次,在判断次数达到N次之前,终端设备能够确定出满足切换触发条件的小区,并在该满足切换触发条件的小区成功接入,则终端设备不再进行判断,上述整个过程可以看成一轮CHO过程。示例性的,以条件切换配置信息中配置了候选小区B、候选小区C和候选小区D,N为2,终端设备采用“一次性”判断为例,若终端设备首先判断出小区B不满足切换触发条件或小区B满足切换触发条件但终端设备在小区B接入失败,终端设备可以继续判断剩下的候选小区(如终端设备可以继续判断小区C或小区D)是否满足切换触发条件,若终端设备判断出小区C满足切换触发条件但终端设备在小区C接入失败或小区C不满足切换触发条件,终端设备不再判断小区D是否满足切换触发条件。或者,若终端设备首先判断出小区B满足切换触发条件且终端设备在小区B接入成功,即使N=1,未达到2,终端设备也不再判断小区C或小区D是否满足切换触发条件。
或者,又一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备根据条件切换配置信息判断候选小区中的小区是否满足切换触发条件时,至多进行R次随机接入尝试,随机接入尝试指的是终端设备根据条件切换配置信息判断出某候选小区满足切换触发条件时,终端设备与该小区进行随机接入,尝试接入该小区:终端设备最多有R次进行随机接入尝试的机会,直到终端设备判断完所有的候选小区均不满足切换触发条件,或者,直到终端设备进行了所有的R次随机接入尝试,或者,直到终端设备未进行完所有的R次随机接入尝试但终端设备成功接入了满足切换触发条件的小区。其中R可以是协议约定的,也可以是网络设备发送给终端设备的,例如第一网络设备向终端设备发送的消息1中可以包含该R值,R是大于或等于1的整数,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。在该实现方式中,若终端设备在配置的候选小区中的一个满足切换触发条件的小区接入失败后或者终端设备确定候选小区中的一个小区不满足切换触发条件后,可以继续进行后续的判断,即判断候选小区中的小区是否满足切换触发条件(此时,终端设备可以采用“轮询式”判断,也可以采用“一次性判断”,本申请对此不做具体限定),直到下面情形中的任意一个情形出现,终端设备停止判断或者终止本轮CHO过程:1)终端设备进行随机接入尝试的总次数达到R次;2)在进行的随机接入尝试的总次数达到R次之前,终端设备能够确定出满足切换触发条件的小区,并在该满足切换触发条件的小区成功接入;3)配置的所有的候选小区均不满足切换触发条件。当所有的R次随机接入尝试都完成, 终端设备不再进行判断,上述整个过程可以看成一轮CHO过程;或者,终端设备进行的随机接入尝试的总次数并没有达到R次,在随机接入尝试的次数达到R次之前,终端设备能够确定出满足切换触发条件的小区,并在该满足切换触发条件的小区成功接入,则终端设备不再进行判断,上述整个过程可以看成一轮CHO过程;或者,终端设备判断出网络设备配置的所有的候选小区均不满足切换触发条件,即终端设备进行的随机接入尝试的总次数等于0,虽然随机接入尝试的总次数没有达到R,但终端设备不再进行判断,上述整个过程可以看成一轮CHO过程。示例性的,以条件切换配置信息中配置了候选小区B、候选小区C和候选小区D,R为2,终端设备采用“一次性”判断为例,若终端设备首先判断出小区B满足切换触发条件但终端设备在小区B接入失败,终端设备可以继续判断剩下的候选小区(如终端设备可以继续判断小区C或小区D)是否满足切换触发条件,若终端设备判断出小区C满足切换触发条件但终端设备在小区C接入失败,则终端设备停止判断,此时R=2,本轮CHO过程结束。或者,若终端设备首先判断出小区B满足切换触发条件且终端设备在小区B接入成功,即使R=1,未达到2,终端设备也停止判断,本轮CHO过程结束。或者,终端设备判断出候选小区B、候选小区C和候选小区D均不满足切换触发条件,则终端设备停止判断,此时R=0,本轮CHO过程结束。
或者,又一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备根据条件切换配置信息判断候选小区中的小区是否满足切换触发条件时,只在收到条件切换配置信息后的H时长内进行判断,其中H可以是协议约定的,也可以是网络设备发送给终端设备的(如第一网络设备向终端设备发送的消息1中可以包含该H值)。在该实现方式中,若终端设备在配置的候选小区中的一个满足切换触发条件的小区接入失败后或者终端设备确定候选小区中的一个小区不满足切换触发条件后,可以在收到条件切换配置信息后的H时长内继续进行后续的判断,判断候选小区中的小区是否满足切换触发条件(此时,终端设备可以采用“轮询式”判断,也可以采用“一次性判断”,本申请对此不做具体限定),直至超时或者在超时前终端设备能够确定出满足切换触发条件的小区,并在该满足切换触发条件的小区成功接入,则终端设备停止判断,上述整个过程可以看成一轮CHO过程。示例性的,以条件切换配置信息中配置了候选小区B、候选小区C和候选小区D,H为100s,终端设备采用“一次性”判断为例,若终端设备首先判断出小区B不满足切换触发条件或小区B满足切换触发条件但终端设备在小区B接入失败,终端设备可以在剩下的时间继续判断其他候选小区(如终端设备可以继续判断小区C或小区D)是否满足切换触发条件,若超时或者在超时前终端设备能够确定出满足切换触发条件的小区,并在该满足切换触发条件的小区成功接入,则终端设备停止判断。
可选的,上述终端设备判断候选小区是否满足切换触发条件的所有可能的实现方式中,终端设备的判断顺序可以是有规律的,例如,网络设备可以指定各候选小区的判断顺序或网络设备可以指定各候选小区的优先级,终端设备按照优先级对候选小区进行判断;或者协议规定终端设备对候选小区进行判断时的顺序;或者终端设备的判断顺序也可以是无规律的,例如,判断顺序取决于终端设备的实现,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。
下面对S602中终端设备记录的MRO信息进行举例说明。具体的,以源小区为小区A,条件切换配置信息中配置了小区B和小区C两个候选小区,终端设备在配置的候选小区中的一个满足切换触发条件的小区接入失败后或者终端设备确定候选小区中的一个小区不满足切换触发条件后,继续判断候选小区中的小区是否满足切换触发条件,直到终端设备确定出满足切换触发条件的小区,并在该满足切换触发条件的小区成功接入,或者,直到终端设备判断完所有的候选小区是否满足切换触发条件为例,对不同场景下终端设备记录的MRO相关 信息进行详细说明。
需要说明的是,条件切换过程中可能存在,前提1:终端设备在接收到条件切换配置信息后可以保持和源小区的数据传输直到终端设备成功接入到目标小区或者源小区发生RLF;前提2:终端设备在接收到条件切换配置信息后立即断开与源小区的数据传输。下面不同场景中对一轮CHO过程中该两种前提下终端设备的连接状态分别进行了说明。

在该场景一中,终端设备根据当前接收到的条件切换配置信息进行的本轮CHO过程中,由于终端设备在小区B接入失败,小区C不满足切换触发条件,因此本轮CHO过程中最终为终端设备提供服务的小区(或者可以理解为本轮CHO过程中最终与终端设备之间存在(或者建立,或者维持)RRC连接的小区),可能存在以下四种情况:
①在前提1的情况下,若终端设备在小区B接入失败且判断出小区C不满足切换触发条件,且终端设备在源小区A发生RLF(如源小区A的信号质量变差),则终端设备发起重建立流程,与选择出的合适的新小区(如满足S准则的小区)D进行RRC重建立流程。
②在前提2的情况下,若终端设备在小区B接入失败且判断出小区C不满足切换触发条件,则终端设备发起重建立流程,与选择出的合适的新小区(如满足S准则的小区)D进行RRC重建立流程。
③在前提1的情况下,若终端设备在小区B接入失败且判断出小区C不满足切换触发条件,且源小区A的信号质量较好,终端设备未在源小区A发生RLF,即终端设备与源小区A(或源网络设备)间仍然保持RRC连接。
④在前提2的情况下,若终端设备在小区B接入失败且判断出小区C不满足切换触发条件,则终端设备发起重建立,且重建立过程选择出的合适的小区为源小区A,则终端设备与源小区A进行RRC重建立流程。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,终端设备选择出的合适的新小区D可以与源小区A是同一个小区,也可以与源小区A是不同的小区,本申请对此不做具体限定。另外,终端设备选择出的合适的新小区D可以与候选小区(如小区B或小区C)是同一个小区,也可以与候选小区是不同的小区,本申请对此不做具体限定。

①在前提1的情况下,若终端设备在小区B接入失败且终端设备在小区C接入失败,且终端设备在源小区A发生RLF(如源小区A的信号质量变差),则终端设备发起重建立流程,与选择出的合适的新小区(如满足S准则的小区)D进行RRC重建立流程。

在该场景四中,终端设备根据当前接收到的条件切换配置信息进行的本轮CHO过程中,由于小区B和小区C均不满足切换触发条件,因此本轮CHO过程中最终为终端设备提供服务的小区(或者可以理解为本轮CHO过程中最终与终端设备之间存在(或者建立,或者维持)RRC连接的小区),可能存在以下四种情况:

上述四种场景中,终端设备在配置的候选小区中的一个满足切换触发条件的小区接入失败后或者终端设备确定候选小区中的一个小区不满足切换触发条件后,继续判断候选小区中的小区是否满足切换触发条件,直到终端设备确定出满足切换触发条件的小区,并在该满足切换触发条件的小区成功接入,或者,直到终端设备判断完所有的候选小区是否满足切换触发条件。下面以终端设备根据条件切换配置信息判断候选小区中的小区是否满足切换触发条件时,至多进行N次判断,具体的N为1,源小区为小区A,条件切换配置信息中配置了候选小区B和候选小区C两个候选小区为例,对不同场景下终端设备记录的MRO相关信息进行详细说明。
需要说明的是,终端设备至多进行N次判断时,其选择的进行判断的候选小区可以是随机的,也可以是按照预设规则选择的,该预设规则可以是协议规定的,也可以是网络设备配置的,本申请对此不做具体限定。
场景五、小区B为候选目标小区。终端设备在小区B接入失败。
具体的,终端设备根据条件切换配置信息,确定小区B满足切换触发条件。进而,终端设备与小区B进行随机接入过程,但是终端设备与小区B进行的随机接入过程发生失败;或者终端设备成功接入小区B后在小区B发生RLF。此时,由于N等于1,即终端设备至多进行一次判断,因此,终端设备不再判断小区C是否满足切换触发条件。
在该场景五中,终端设备根据当前接收到的条件切换配置信息进行的本轮CHO过程中,由于终端设备进行一次判断后,在小区B接入失败,因此本轮CHO过程中最终为终端设备提供服务的小区(或者可以理解为本轮CHO过程中最终与终端设备之间存在(或者建立,或者维持)RRC连接的小区),可能存在以下四种情况:

④在前提2的情况下,若终端设备在小区B接入失败,则终端设备发起重建立,且重建立过程选择出的合适的小区为源小区A,则终端设备与源小区A进行RRC重建立流程。
在该场景五的情况①中,终端设备记录的MRO相关信息包括:小区B对应的第一失败原因值。其中,第一失败原因值的相关描述可参考上述实施例中对于第一失败原因值的描述,在此不再赘述。
可选的,在该场景五的情况①中,终端设备记录的MRO相关信息还可以包括上述第一信息中以下信息中的一项或多项:源小区的信息、候选目标小区的信息、候选目标小区中每个小区对应的第一时间信息、本轮CHO过程中最终为终端设备提供服务的小区(或者,理解为本轮CHO过程中最终与终端设备之间存在(或者建立,或者维持)RRC连接的小区)的信息、候选目标小区的UL载波信息。具体的,在该场景五的情况①中,源小区为小区A,候选目标小区包括小区B,本轮CHO过程中最终为终端设备提供服务的小区(或者,理解为本轮CHO过程中最终与终端设备之间存在(或者建立)RRC连接的小区)为小区D,相关 信息的描述可参考上述实施例中对相应信息的描述,在此不再赘述。

场景六、小区B为待定小区,即小区B不满足切换触发条件。
具体的,终端设备根据条件切换配置信息,确定出小区B不满足切换触发条件,此时,由于N等于1,即终端设备至多进行一次判断,因此,终端设备不再判断小区C是否满足切换触发条件。
在该场景六中,终端设备根据当前接收到的条件切换配置信息进行的本轮CHO过程中,由于终端设备进行一次判断后,确定小区B不满足切换触发条件,因此本轮CHO过程中最终为终端设备提供服务的小区(或者可以理解为本轮CHO过程中最终与终端设备之间存在(或者建立,或者维持)RRC连接的小区),可能存在以下四种情况:①在前提1的情况下,若小区B不满足切换触发条件且终端设备在源小区A发生RLF(如源小区A的信号质量变差),则终端设备发起重建立流程,与选择出的合适的新小区(如满足S准则的小区)D进行RRC重建立流程。
②在前提2的情况下,若小区B不满足切换触发条件,则终端设备发起重建立流程,与选择出的合适的新小区(如满足S准则的小区)D进行RRC重建立流程。
③在前提1的情况下,若小区B不满足切换触发条件且源小区A的信号质量较好,终端设备未在源小区A发生RLF,即终端设备与源小区A(或源网络设备)间仍然保持RRC连接。
④在前提2的情况下,若小区B不满足切换触发条件,则终端设备发起重建立,且重建立过程选择出的合适的小区为源小区A,则终端设备与源小区A进行RRC重建立流程。
在该场景六的情况①中,终端设备记录的MRO相关信息包括:小区B对应的第二失败原因值。其中,第二失败原因值的相关描述可参考上述实施例中对于第二失败原因值的描述,在此不再赘述。
可选的,在该场景六的情况①中,终端设备记录的MRO相关信息还可以包括上述第一信息中以下信息中的一项或多项:源小区的信息、待定小区的信息、待定小区中每个小区对应的第二时间信息、本轮CHO过程中最终为终端设备提供服务的小区(或者,理解为本轮CHO过程中最终与终端设备之间存在(或者建立,或者维持)RRC连接的小区)的信息,具体的,在该场景六的情况①中,源小区为小区A,待定小区为小区B,本轮CHO过程中最终为终端设备提供服务的小区(或者,理解为本轮CHO过程中最终与终端设备之间存在(或者 建立)RRC连接的小区)为小区D,相关信息的描述可参考上述实施例中对相应信息的描述,在此不再赘述。
在该场景六的情况②中,最终为终端设备提供服务的小区(或者,理解为本轮CHO过程中最终与终端设备之间存在(或者建立)RRC连接的小区)为小区D,终端设备记录的MRO相关信息与该场景六的情况①中记录的MRO相关信息相同,相关描述可参考该场景六的情况①的描述,此处不再赘述。
在该场景六的情况③中,最终为终端设备提供服务的小区(或者,理解为本轮CHO过程中最终与终端设备之间存在(或者维持)RRC连接的小区)为小区A,终端设备记录的MRO信息与该场景六的情况①中记录的MRO相关信息类似,区别在于,在场景六的情况③中记录的本轮CHO过程中最终为终端设备提供服务的小区的信息为源小区A的信息,而不是小区D的信息。相关描述可参考该场景六的情况①的描述,此处不再赘述。
在该场景六的情况④中,最终为终端设备提供服务的小区(或者,理解为本轮CHO过程中最终与终端设备之间存在(或者建立)RRC连接的小区)为小区A,终端设备记录的MRO信息与该场景六的情况③中记录的MRO相关信息相同,相关描述可参考该场景六的情况③的描述,此处不再赘述。
其中,在上述S602中:
一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备自身触发MRO相关信息的发送。示例性的,终端设备根据接收到的条件切换配置信息,成功切换到满足切换触发条件的候选小区,则终端设备可以将本轮CHO过程中记录的MRO相关信息发送给本轮CHO过程中最终为终端设备提供服务的小区所属的网络设备,例如,上述场景二中,终端设备成功切换到候选小区C,则终端设备可以将本轮CHO过程中记录的MRO相关信息发送给小区C所属的网络设备。可选地,本轮CHO过程最终为终端设备提供服务的小区所属的网络设备可以将从终端设备接收到的MRO相关信息发送给源网络设备,例如,上述场景二中,小区C所属的网络设备将从终端设备接收到的MRO相关信息发送给小区A所属的网络设备(即源网络设备);
或者,示例性的,终端设备根据接收到的条件切换配置信息,未能成功切换到候选小区时,若终端设备发起重建立流程,且重建立成功,即本轮CHO过程中最终为终端设备提供服务的小区为重建立小区,则终端设备可以将本轮CHO过程中记录的MRO相关信息发送给本轮CHO过程中最终为终端设备提供服务的小区所属的网络设备,例如,在上述场景一的情况①或上述场景一的情况②中,终端设备在小区D重建立成功,则终端设备可以将本轮CHO过程中记录的MRO相关信息发送给小区D所属的网络设备。可选地,本轮CHO过程中最终为终端设备提供服务的小区所属的网络设备可以将从终端设备接收到的MRO相关信息发送给源网络设备,例如,上述场景一的情况①或上述场景一的情况②中,小区D所属的网络设备将从终端设备接收到的MRO相关信息发送给小区A所属的网络设备(即源网络设备);
或者,示例性的,终端设备根据接收到的条件切换配置信息,未能成功切换到候选小区时,若终端设备保持在源小区,即本轮CHO过程中最终为终端设备提供服务的小区为源小区,则终端设备可以将本轮CHO过程中记录的MRO相关信息发送给本轮CHO过程中最终为终端设备提供服务的小区所属的网络设备,例如,上述场景一的情况③中,终端设备进行本轮CHO后保持在源小区,则终端设备可以将本轮CHO过程中记录的MRO相关信息发送给小区A所属的网络设备(即源网络设备)。网络设备根据接收到的MRO相关信息可以进行条件切换相关参数的调整。
另一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备接收到第二网络设备发送的请求消息后,例如,该 请求消息可以是用户信息请求UEInformationRequest消息,触发MRO相关信息的发送。下文对此实现方式,进行具体说明。
可选的,本申请实施例中,若终端设备具备记录MRO相关信息的能力,则终端设备可以向第二网络设备发送第三指示信息,第三指示信息用于通知第二网络设备,终端设备具备记录MRO相关信息的能力。其中,第三指示信息可以包含在RRC消息中,该RRC消息例如可以是RRC建立完成消息或者RRC重配置完成消息或者RRC重建立完成消息或者其他RRC消息,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定;或者,第三指示信息可以包含在物理层消息(如上行控制信息(uplink control information,UCI))或媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层消息(如媒体接入控制元素(MAC control element,MAC CE))中,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。对于第三指示信息的发送时机,例如,一种可能的实现方式中,可以在重建立成功,终端设备发送RRC重建立完成消息时,发送该第三指示信息,或者,另一种可能的实现方式中,可以在条件切换执行成功,终端设备向成功接入的网络设备发送RRC重配置完成消息时,发送该第三指示信息,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
可选的,本申请实施例中,第三指示信息可以是二进制数值,例如,“1”表示终端设备具备记录MRO相关信息的能力,“0”表示终端设备不具备记录MRO相关信息的能力;或者,第三指示信息可以是布尔值,例如,“TRUE”表示终端设备具备记录MRO相关信息的能力,“FALSE”表示终端设备不具备记录MRO相关信息的能力;或者,第三指示信息可以是某信元,例如,该信元可以是移动鲁棒性优化能力(如MRO capability),或者该信元可以是其他表达或命名方式,本申请实施例不做具体限定,当终端设备发送的消息中包含该信元,则表示终端设备具备记录MRO相关信息的能力,如果终端设备发送的消息中不包含该信元,则表示终端设备不具备记录MRO相关信息的能力。
其中,第二网络设备接收来自终端设备的第三指示信息之后,可以向终端设备发送请求消息,用于请求终端设备上报MRO的相关信息,例如,该请求消息可以是UEInformationRequest消息。
可选的,本申请实施例中,第二网络设备可以在接收到终端设备发送的上述第三指示信息后向该终端设备发送上述请求消息,或者,第二网络设备也可以在未收到该第三指示信息的情况下向终端设备发送上述请求消息,也就是说,是否接收到该第三指示信息不是第二网络设备发送上述请求消息的必要条件。本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
一种可能的方式中,第二网络设备可以为终端设备根据当前接收的条件切换配置信息判断出的满足切换触发条件且成功接入的小区所属的网络设备。如条件切换配置信息中配置了小区B和小区C两个候选小区,终端设备根据条件切换配置信息,确定出小区C满足切换触发条件且终端设备在小区C接入成功,则小区C所属的网络设备即为第二网络设备。
另一种可能的实现方式中,第二网络设备为终端设备接收到条件切换配置信息后,终端设备发起重建立的小区所属的网络设备。例如,终端设备根据当前接收到的条件切换配置信息,判断出配置的M个候选小区均不满足切换触发条件,或者,配置的M个候选小区中存在至少一个小区满足切换触发条件但是终端设备在满足切换触发条件的该至少一个小区接入失败,或者,存在其他情况,终端设备发起重建立流程,终端设备确定出的进行重建立的小区所属的网络设备即为第二网络设备。例如,终端设备根据S准则选择出合适的新小区E,与该小区E进行RRC重建立流程,并在小区E重建立成功,则小区E所属的网络设备为第二网络设备。
又一种可能的方式中,第二网络设备可以为终端设备接收条件切换配置信息后,后续接 入成功的小区所属的网络设备。例如,终端设备根据当前接收的条件切换配置信息判断出满足切换触发条件的小区并且成功切换至该小区后,后续可能由于继续移动或发起重建立或其他原因,接入到另外的网络设备,该网络设备接收到终端设备发送的上述第三指示信息,或者,该网络设备向终端设备发送上述请求终端设备上报MRO的相关信息的请求消息,则该网络设备为第二网络设备。
又一种可能的方式中,终端设备接收到条件切换配置信息后,发起重建立流程,重建立成功后,后续可能由于继续移动或发起重建立或其他原因,接入到其他网络设备,该其他网络设备接收到终端设备发送的上述第三指示信息,或者,该其他网络设备向终端设备发送上述请求消息(例如,向终端设备发送UEInformationRequest消息),则该其他网络设备为第二网络设备。示例性的,条件切换配置信息中配置了两个候选小区(如小区B和小区C),终端设备根据条件切换配置信息,确定出小区C满足切换触发条件且终端设备在小区C接入成功,终端设备成功切换至小区C后,小区C所属的网络设备没有给UE发送UEInformationRequest消息,因此,终端设备没有向小区C所属的网络设备发送MRO相关信息,后续由于继续移动或发起重建立或其他原因,终端设备成功接入到小区F,在收到小区F所属的网络设备发送的请求消息(如UEInformationRequest消息)后,终端设备向小区F所属的网络设备发送MRO相关信息。
可选的,本申请实施例中,MRO相关信息中候选目标小区对应的第一失败原因值,和/或,待定小区对应的第二失败原因值可以通过一条RRC消息发送,例如,该RRC消息可以是UEInformationReponse消息,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。一种实现方法中,终端设备通过消息2发送候选目标小区对应的第一失败原因值,和/或,待定小区对应的第二失败原因值,该消息2可以是一条RRC消息,例如可以是UEInformationReponse消息。可选的,消息2中还可以包括MRO相关信息中的第一信息,即第一信息与候选目标小区对应的第一失败原因值,和/或,待定小区对应的第二失败原因值可以通过同一条RRC消息发送。其中,第一信息的相关描述可参考上文对第一信息的描述,此处不再赘述。当然,第一信息也可以是通过另外的一个RRC消息发送,如消息3,即第一信息与候选目标小区对应的第一失败原因值,和/或,待定小区对应的第二失败原因值可以通过不同的RRC消息发送,该消息3可以是一条RRC消息,例如可以是UEInformationReponse消息,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。可选的,本申请实施例中,消息2中还可以包括上述MRO相关信息中的第二信息。其中,第二信息的相关描述可参考上文对第二信息的描述,在此不再赘述。当然,也可以将上述第二信息包括在消息3中。将上述第二信息包含在消息2或消息3中时,第二信息可以与发生条件切换失败时的相关信息同时发送,即第二信息可以与第一信息、候选目标小区对应的第一失败原因值,和/或,待定小区对应的第二失败原因值通过同一条消息发送。可选的,上述第二信息也可以单独发送,如终端设备向第二网络设备发送消息4,消息4中包括上述第二信息。该消息4可以是一条RRC消息,例如可以是UEInformationReponse消息,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。
可选的,本申请实施例中,单独发送第二信息时,存在一种可能的情况,即终端设备判断出候选小区中的某个小区满足切换触发条件,并且与该小区进行的随机接入过程成功,终端设备成功接入至该小区,例如在配置了B和小区C两个候选小区的情况下,终端设备接收到条件切换配置信息后,判断出小区B满足切换触发条件,并在小区B接入成功,终端设备成功切换至小区B后,可以认为此轮CHO过程结束。在此轮CHO过程中,终端设备可以记录小区B的相关信息,由于在小区B接入成功,终端设备可能并没有判断小区C是否满足切 换触发条件,即终端设备没有记录小区C的相关信息。在该情况下,本轮CHO过程中,终端设备不会记录条件切换失败的相关信息,也就是说,终端设备可能不会向第二网络设备发送条件切换失败的相关信息,即终端设备不会向第二网络设备发送消息2或消息3,例如,终端设备不会向第二网络设备发送小区C的相关信息,而是向第二网络设备发送上述第二信息,即终端设备向第二网络设备发送消息4,例如,终端设备向第二网络设备发送小区B的相关信息。
可选的,本申请实施例中,在条件切换机制和传统切换机制共存时,消息2或消息3或消息4中还可以包括上述MRO信息中的第三信息或第四信息。其中,第三信息和第四信息的相关描述可参考上文中相应信息的描述。即终端设备可以将传统切换失败的相关信息与条件切换过程中的相关信息一起发送,即第三信息、第四信息可以与第一信息、第二信息、候选目标小区对应的第一失败原因值,和/或,待定小区对应的第二失败原因值通过同一条消息发送;或者,终端设备可以通过一条新的消息(除消息2、消息3、消息4外的消息)发送传统切换失败的相关信息,即终端设备可以将切换失败的相关信息与条件切换过程中的相关信息分开独立发送,本申请对此不做具体限定。
可选的,本申请实施例中,终端设备发送上述MRO相关信息时,如终端设备发送候选目标小区对应的第一失败原因值,和/或,待定小区对应的第二失败原因值、第一信息、第二信息、第三信息、第四信息中的一项或多项,可以是以终端设备为粒度发送的,也可以是以小区为粒度发送的,本申请对此不做具体限定。示例性的,以上述MRO信息均包含在消息2中,且该消息2为RRC消息为例进行说明。终端设备在发送上述信息时,可以通过一条消息2发送,也就是说,终端设备将其记录的源小区、各个候选目标小区,和/或,待定小区、第一目标小区以及本轮CHO过程中最终为终端设备提供服务的小区的MRO相关信息通过一条消息2发送,即该消息2是终端设备粒度的;例如,在上述S601的场景三的情况①中,若终端设备通过一条消息2发送本轮CHO过程中的MRO相关信息,则该消息2中包括小区B和小区C对应的第一失败原因值、小区B的信息、小区C的信息、小区B对应的第一时间信息、小区C对应的第一时间信息、小区D的信息以及小区A的信息。其中,对于第一失败原因值,该消息2中可以只包括一个第一失败原因值,即这个第一失败原因值对应小区B且对应小区C;或者该消息2中可以包括两个第一失败原因值即这两个第一失败原因值分别对应小区B和小区C,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定;其中,小区A(或小区B或小区C或小区D)的信息包括小区A(或小区B或小区C或小区D)的小区标识信息,和/或,小区A(或小区B或小区C或小区D)的小区信号质量信息。
或者,示例性的,终端设备也可以分多条消息2发送上述MRO信息,也就是说,终端设备可以将其记录的各个候选目标小区,和/或,待定小区、第一目标小区的MRO相关信息以小区为单位分别发送各个小区对应的MRO相关信息,即该消息2是小区粒度的。需要说明的是,消息2以小区为粒度时,源小区的信息以及本轮CHO过程中最终为终端设备提供服务的小区的信息可以单独发送,也可以同候选目标小区或待定小区的MRO相关信息一起发送,本申请对此不做具体限定。例如,在上述S601的场景三的情况①中,对于小区B和小区C,终端设备可以通过一条消息2a发送小区B的相关信息,该消息2a中包含小区B对应的第一失败原因值和小区B对应的其他MRO相关信息(例如,小区B的信息、小区B对应的第一时间信息),且终端设备可以通过另一条消息2b发送小区C的相关信息,该消息2b中包含小区C对应的第一失败原因值和小区C对应的其他MRO相关信息(例如,小区C的信息、小区C对应的第一时间信息),对于源小区A和重建立小区D,小区A的相关信息(例如,小 区A的信息)可以通过另一条消息2c或者通过消息2a或者通过消息2b发送,小区D的相关信息(例如,小区D的信息)可以通过另一条消息2d或者通过消息2a或者通过消息2b或者通过消息2c发送,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定。其中,小区A(或小区B或小区C或小区D)的信息包括小区A(或小区B或小区C或小区D)的小区标识信息,和/或,小区A(或小区B或小区C或小区D)的小区信号质量信息。
其中,在上述S603中:
需要说明的是,当向终端设备发送上述请求终端设备上报MRO相关信息的网络设备为源小区所属的网络设备时,第二网络设备和第一网络设备为同一个网络设备,此时,不需要执行S603。
可选的,本申请实施例中,第二网络设备向第一网络设备发送MRO相关信息时,可以将MRO相关信息包含在一条消息中发送,也可以将MRO相关信息包括的不同内容通过不同的消息发送,或者,可以理解为,发送MRO相关信息时,可以以终端设备为粒度进行发送,也可以以小区为粒度进行发送,本申请实施例对此不做具体限定,相关描述可参考S602中的相应描述,在此不再赘述。
可选的,本申请实施例中,对于第一失败原因值对应的候选目标小区,接入失败的一种可能是该候选目标小区的信号质量一直较差或者该候选目标小区的信号质量衰减快或者信号质量不稳定,第二网络设备接收到该候选目标小区对应的第一失败原因值后,将接收到的该候选目标小区对应的第一失败原因值发送给第一网络设备。
第一网络设备在接收到第一失败原因值后,可以根据该第一失败原因值进行相应的处理,例如根据第一失败原因值重新配置其他候选小区或者根据第一失败原因值调整之前配置过的候选小区的相关的参数(也可以理解为配置条件切换的相关参数)。一种可能的方式中,该第一网络设备在后续配置候选小区时,例如,下一次或者后续的CHO过程中,可以排除该候选目标小区,即不再将该候选目标小区配置成候选小区,这样,终端设备进行下一次或者后续的条件切换时无需再判断该候选目标小区是否满足切换触发条件,降低终端设备的能量消耗和终端设备的实现复杂度。
或者,接入失败的另一种可能是第一网络设备配置的切换触发条件不合理,例如切换触发条件配置的触发切换的要求不合理,(以上述配置了事件A3为例,第一网络设备可能为该事件配置的参数Q偏低),终端设备根据条件切换配置信息,判断出某候选小区满足切换触发条件,虽然该候选小区满足切换触发条件,但该小区的信号质量并没有达到可以使终端设备成功接入的要求,进而,终端设备无法成功接入该小区。第二网络设备接收到该候选目标小区对应的第一失败原因值后,将接收到的该候选目标小区对应的第一失败原因值发送给第一网络设备。
第一网络设备在接收到第一失败原因值后,可以根据该第一失败原因值进行相应的处理,例如根据第一失败原因值重新配置其他候选小区或者根据第一失败原因值调整之前配置过的候选小区的相关的参数(也可以理解为配置条件切换的相关参数)。一种可能的方式中,例如以上述配置了事件A3为例,第一网络设备在后续配置切换触发条件时,可以提高配置的参数Q的数值。
需要说明的是,配置候选小区的网络设备可以是第一网络设备,也可以是候选小区所属的网络设备。
可选的,本申请实施例中,对于第二失败原因值对应的待定小区,未满足切换触发条件的一种可能是该待定小区的信号质量一直差,第二网络设备接收到该待定小区对应的第二失 败原因值后,将接收到的该待定小区对应的第二失败原因值发送给第一网络设备。
第一网络设备在接收到第二失败原因值后,可以根据该第二失败原因值进行相应的处理,例如根据第二失败原因值重新配置其他候选小区或者根据第二失败原因值调整之前配置过的候选小区的相关的参数(也可以理解为配置条件切换的相关参数)。一种可能的方式中,该第一网络设备在后续配置候选小区时(例如,下一次或者后续的CHO过程中)排除该待定小区,即不再将该待定小区配置成候选小区,因此,终端设备进行下一次或者后续的条件切换时无需再判断该待定小区是否满足切换触发条件,降低了终端设备的能量消耗,和终端设备的实现复杂度。
或者,未满足切换触发条件的另一种可能是该待定小区的信号质量较好,但是第一网络设备配置的切换触发条件不合理(以上述配置了事件A3为例,可能为该事件配置的参数Q偏高,或者,以上述配置了事件A5为例,可能为该事件A5配置的参数K偏高,和/或,配置的参数L偏低)。第二网络设备接收到该待定小区对应的第二失败原因值后,将接收到的该待定小区对应的第二失败原因值发送给第一网络设备。
第一网络设备在接收到第二失败原因值后,可以根据该第二失败原因值进行相应的处理,例如根据第二失败原因值重新配置其他候选小区或者根据第二失败原因值调整之前配置过的候选小区的相关的参数(也可以理解为配置条件切换的相关参数)。一种可能的方式中,第一网络设备接收到该待定小区对应的第二失败原因值后,可以合理调整相关参数,例如以上述配置了事件A3为例,第一网络设备在后续配置切换触发条件时,可以降低配置的参数Q的数值。
可选的,本申请实施例中,第二网络设备接收到上述第一时间信息,和/或,第二时间信息后,将接收到的该上述第一时间信息,和/或,第二时间信息发送给第一网络设备。第一网络设备在接收到第一时间信息,和/或,第二时间信息后,可以根据该第一时间信息,和/或,第二时间信息进行相应的处理,例如根据该第一时间信息,和/或,第二时间信息重新配置其他候选小区或者调整之前配置过的候选小区的相关的参数(也可以理解为配置条件切换的相关参数)。一种可能的方式中,对于某个发生条件切换失败的小区(如候选目标小区或待定小区),如果在从终端设备接收到条件切换配置信息的时刻到终端设备发送消息2的时刻之间的时间间隔内,网络设备已经重新配置了该发生条件切换失败的小区对应的切换触发条件中的相关参数(如以A3为例,重新配置了参数Q),则网络设备可以将接收到的来自终端设备的对应该发生条件切换失败的小区的相关信息删除、丢弃或者忽略,不再调整该发生条件切换失败的小区对应的切换触发条件中的相关参数。
可选的,本申请实施例中,第二网络设备接收到上述第三信息或第四信息后,向第一网络设备发送该第三信息或第四信息。第一网络设备在接收到第三信息或第四信息后,可以根据该第三信息或第四信息进行相应的处理,例如根据该第三信息或第四信息重新配置传统切换的相关参数,例如,一种可能的方式中,在终端设备接收到切换消息但在上述第二目标小区接入失败时,可能是该第二目标小区不允许终端设备接入,后续在传统切换流程中,第一网络设备可以不再将该小区配置成目标小区,或者,后续在条件切换流程中,第一网络设备可以不再将该小区配置成候选小区;或者,示例性的,一种可能的方式中,终端设备未接收到切换消息,可能是网络配置的参数不合理,后续在传统切换流程中,第一网络设备可以调整测量配置中的相关事件的参数,例如,以A3事件为例(现有技术中,配置A3事件时,第一网络设备会配置偏移量(如P),当邻区的信号质量比服务小区的信号质量高P时,UE会触发测量报告的上报),可能因为配置的参数P太高,导致终端设备无法上报测量报告,因此, 网络设备侧不会触发传统切换准备流程,进而,第一网络设备不会给终端设备发送切换消息,导致终端设备未接收到切换消息。因此,第一网络设备根据切换失败的相关信息,后续可以降低P的数值,进而达到优化的目的。
基于本申请实施例提供的信息传输方法,终端设备向第二网络设备发送条件切换过程中候选目标小区相关的信息,和/或,待定小区相关的信息,例如,终端设备上报的信息可以包括:满足切换触发条件但终端设备接入失败的候选小区(即候选目标小区)对应的第一失败原因值、不满足切换触发条件的候选小区(即待定小区)对应的第二失败原因值、源小区的信息、候选目标小区的信息、候选目标小区中每个小区各自对应的第一时间信息、待定小区的信息、待定小区中每个小区各自对应的第二时间信息,等等,第二网络设备将该终端设备上报的上述信息发送给第一网络设备,使得第一网络设备可以根据候选目标小区相关的信息,和/或,待定小区相关的信息,合理地进行条件切换机制下的切换参数优化。
可以理解的是,以上各个实施例中,由终端设备实现的方法和/或步骤,也可以由可用于终端设备的部件(例如芯片或者电路)实现,由第一网络设备实现的方法和/或步骤,也可以由可用于第一网络设备的部件(例如芯片或者电路)实现,由第二网络设备实现的方法和/或步骤,也可以由可用于第二网络设备的部件(例如芯片或者电路)实现。

本申请实施例可以根据上述方法实施例中对通信装置进行功能模块的划分,例如,可以对应各个功能划分各个功能模块,也可以将两个或两个以上的功能集成在一个处理模块中。上述集成的模块既可以采用硬件的形式实现,也可以采用软件功能模块的形式实现。需要说明的是,本申请实施例中对模块的划分是示意性的,仅仅为一种逻辑功能划分,实际实现时可以有另外的划分方式。
比如,以通信装置为上述方法实施例中的终端设备为例。图7示出了一种终端设备70的结构示意图。该终端设备70包括接收模块701和发送模块702。该接收模块701,也可以称为接收单元用以实现接收功能,例如可以是接收电路,接收机,接收器或者通信接口。该发送模块702,也可以称为发送单元用以实现发送功能,例如可以是发送电路,发送机,发送器或者通信接口。
其中,接收模块701,用于接收条件切换配置信息,该条件切换配置信息包括切换触发条件以及M个候选小区的信息,M为正整数;发送模块702,用于发送候选目标小区对应的第一失败原因值,和/或,待定小区对应的第二失败原因值;其中,候选目标小区包括M个侯选小区中满足上述切换触发条件的X个小区,待定小区包括M个侯选小区中不满足上述切 换触发条件的Y个小区,X、Y为自然数,X+Y小于或者等于M。
