可选地,还可以包括是否上报beam测量结果,例如,0代表不上报beam测量结果,1代 表上报beam测量结果。若上报beam测量结果,则可以获取更丰富的测量信息。
302、基站确定进行MDT测量的UE;
基站接收到MDT配置信息后,基站可以根据预设规则确定配置MDT测量的UE。例如基站判断配置信息中携带的区域信息是否包括UE所在的小区,若包含则确定该UE为进行MDT测量的UE;或者判断UE是否签约同意允许收集数据,若同意则确定该UE为进行MDT测量的UE,具体的预设规则此处不做限定。

可以理解的是,第二beam配置信息与第一beam配置信息相对应。基站可以根据第一beam配置信息为UE配置第二beam配置信息。
示例性的,若基站获取的第一beam配置信息包括:参考信号类型:SSB;参考信号的平均beam数目:3个;参考信号合并门限:参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power,RSRP)为105。
则基站可以配置第二beam配置信息为:参考信号类型:SSB;SSB的频点信息:100;SSB的子载波间隔:15kHz;SSB合并门限:RSRP为105;SSB平均beam数目:3个。
其中,SSB的频点信息为基站根据第一beam信息中参考信号类型SSB进行查询获取的信息。

305、基站向TCE发送MDT测量结果;
基站接收UE上报的MDT测量结果后,可将该MDT测量结果上报给TCE。
本申请实施例提供的MDT配置方法,由于MDT配置信息中包含第一beam配置信息,基站根据第一beam配置信息向UE发送携带第二beam配置信息的MDT测量配置消息。其中,第二beam配置信息和该第一beam配置信息相同,或者,该第二beam配置信息是对该第一beam配置信息处理后得到的配置信息。UE可以根据该第二beam配置信息进行MDT测量。由于UE上报TCE的测量结果都为基于同样配置信息的测量结果,因此,根据这些测量结果对基站的小区无线信号进行统一分析可以提高分析的准确程度。
在实际应用中,除了由核心网或网管生成MDT配置,发送给基站触发MDT测量,还可以又基站根据预设的规则生成MDT配置触发进行MDT测量,下面进行详细介绍。

在无线网络中,一个UE可能和多个基站通信,即双连接(dual-connectivity,DC)。这多个基站可能是属于同一制式的基站,例如均为4G基站,或者均为5G基站,也可能是不同制式的基站,例如一个是4G基站,另一个是5G基站。本申请实施例中,对于基站的具体形式此处不做限定。网络侧可以利用多个基站的资源为该UE提供通信服务,从而为UE提供高速率传输。DC中与核心网有控制面信邻交互的基站称为主基站(Master node,MN),其他基站称为辅基站(secondary node,SN)。
本申请实施例提供的MDT配置方法可以适用于双连接场景,下面介绍在双连接场景下,如何获取UE在同一位置时的主基站和辅基站的信号质量。基于图1所示的系统架构图,UE可以与gNB1、gNB2通信,请参阅图5,本申请实施例中MDT配置方法的另一个交互流程图。

504、主基站向UE下发测量并收集主基站信号质量测量结果;
当UE上报B1、B2、A3、A4或A5测量事件时,UE将向主基站上报主基站的服务小区的信号质量测量结果。此外,UE可以将辅基站下发的测量事件对应的辅基站的服务小区的信号质量测量结果上报主基站
505、主基站向TCE发送主基站和辅基站的信号质量测量结果;
主基站将接收的主基站信号质量测量结果上报TCE。

下面介绍在双连接场景下,如何触发UE上报主基站和辅基站的信号质量。基于图1所示的系统架构图,请参阅图6,本申请实施例中MDT配置方法的另一个交互流程图;
601、核心网或网管向主基站发送MDT配置信息;
602、主基站确定进行MDT测量的UE;
603、主基站生成MDT测量配置消息;
步骤601至步骤603与图3对应的实施例中步骤301至步骤303类似,此处不再赘述。
604、主基站向UE下发测量并收集主基站信号质量测量结果;
基站向步骤602确定的UE下发MDT测量配置消息,UE进行MDT测量并向基站上报MDT测量结果。当UE满足周期测量或A2事件测量的条件时,将获取的主基站信号质量测量结果,即主基站的服务小区的信号质量测量结果发送给主基站。

需要说明的是,在另一种可能的实现方式中,辅基站向UE下发测量并收集辅基站信号质量测量结果后,可以直接将辅基站信号质量测量结果发送至TCE,不需要发送给主基站。
需要说明的是,在对于多制式的双连接,即一个终端设备同时连接到两个不同通信制式的基站上,例如4G基站和5G基站,存在一种双连接称为非独立(non standalone,NSA)场景,在该NSA场景下的一个制式的基站,例如辅基站,并不能提供用于终端设备驻留的小区,即空闲(idle)态的终端设备不能驻留在NSA场景下的辅基站的小区中,即终端设备只能驻留在其中主基站对应的制式中。NSA一般指主基站为LTE基站,辅基站为NR基站。且一般只有主基站才和核心网或网管具有控制面连接,即只有主基站才能接收对应的MDT配置信息。这种场景下,若运营商想获得辅基站对应通信制式的小区的覆盖情况。在这种情况下,可以不执行本实施例中步骤603和步骤604。即主基站把部分MDT测量配置信息通知辅基站,由辅基站配置UE进行MDT测量,或者辅基站进行部分MDT测量。可选地,核心网或网管给主基站的MDT配置信息中指示了只对辅基站进行MDT测量。
