The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.

So far, the electronic devices involved in the embodiments of this application have been described according to their functions. Based on the software/hardware structure of the electronic devices shown in Figure 1 and the network architecture shown in Figure 2, continue to connect to the network provided by the embodiments of this application. The plan is explained.

FIG. 3 shows an optional flowchart of a method for processing a reconfiguration message provided by an embodiment of the present application, which will be described according to each step.

Step S201: When a terminal device accesses the first network, the terminal device receives a reconfiguration message for adding a secondary cell group sent by the network device.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device supports a dual connection mode, and in the dual connection mode, the terminal device communicates with both the first network device and the second network device. In an optional implementation manner, the first network device is a secondary network device, and the second network device is a primary network device. The secondary network device is responsible for transmitting data, and the primary network device is mainly responsible for transmitting signaling. The device forms a dual-connection architecture with the first network device and the second network device, refer to FIG. 2.

In the embodiment of the present application, the dual connection mode is, for example, the EN-DC mode, or the NGEN-DC mode, or the NE-DC mode. Taking the EN-DC mode as an example, the second network device is an NR network device (i.e. gNB), the first network device is an LTE network device (i.e. eNB), and the terminal device is simultaneously operated with the NR network device and the LTE network device Communication. Compared with the terminal device in the single connection mode that needs to communicate with a network device (such as an LTE network device or an NR network device), the terminal device in the dual connection mode consumes more power. For this reason, the embodiment of the present application limits the transmission rate of the terminal to save the power consumption of the terminal in the dual connection mode.

Figure 4 is a structural diagram of the communication module of the terminal device in the dual connection mode. As shown in Figure 4, in order for the terminal device to communicate with two network devices simultaneously, it needs to have two sets of communication modules, which correspond to two sets of communication modules. Network devices. Among them, the first modem module (modem) and the first radio frequency path (including the first radio frequency circuit and the first radio frequency antenna) form a first set of communication modules, and the first set of communication modules corresponds to the first network device. The second modem module (modem) and the second radio frequency path (including the second radio frequency circuit and the second radio frequency antenna) form a second set of communication modules, and the second set of communication modules corresponds to the second network device. In an example, the second modem is a 5G modem, the first modem is a 4G modem, the second radio frequency circuit is 5G RF, and the first radio frequency circuit is 4G RF. In the dual connection mode, the first communication module and the second communication module work simultaneously.

In an example, the terminal device first establishes a connection with the first network device, and then establishes a connection with the second network device. For example: when a terminal device is connected to a first network device, a control instruction sent by a second network device is received, and the control instruction is used to trigger the activation of a communication function corresponding to the second network device; the terminal device In response to the control instruction, a connection with the second network device is established.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device only accesses the LTE network, and the secondary cell group corresponds to the second network, that is, the secondary cell group is NR SCG. In specific implementation, the reconfiguration message is an RRC reconfiguration message; correspondingly, a schematic diagram of the processing flow of the RRC reconfiguration message in the embodiment of this application is shown in Figure 5: the network device sends the RRC reconfiguration message to the terminal device, so The RRC reconfiguration message is used to instruct the terminal device to add NR SCG. After receiving the RRC reconfiguration message, the terminal device searches for a cell based on the RRC reconfiguration message, but does not send a response based on the reconfiguration message to the network device; or, after the terminal device receives the RRC reconfiguration message , Does not perform cell search and access, and does not send a response based on the reconfiguration message to the network device.

Step S202: The terminal device does not send a response based on the reconfiguration message to the network device.

In an optional embodiment of the present application, after step S202 is performed, the method further includes:

Step S203: The terminal device accesses the network according to the network connection mode configured by the network device.

In the embodiment of the present application, since the terminal device does not report the measurement report for the second network to the network device, the network connection mode configured for the terminal device by the network device is the single connection mode. In the network connection mode, the terminal device can only access the first network. That is, the terminal device switches from dual connection mode to single connection mode. In a scenario where a terminal device switches from dual connection mode to single connection mode, the network device is the main network device, and the main network device sends a message to the auxiliary network device in dual connection mode to instruct the auxiliary network device and the terminal device Disconnect, that is, instruct the auxiliary network device to no longer perform data transmission between the terminal device. In a scenario where a terminal device switches from dual connection mode to single connection mode, the network device is the main network device, and the terminal device disconnects the terminal device from the auxiliary network device before receiving the single connection configuration sent by the network device , The auxiliary network device sends a message to the main network device, and the message is used to notify the main network device and the terminal device to perform data transmission and signaling transmission.

In some embodiments, if the terminal device expects to return to the dual connection mode, the terminal device needs to report a measurement report for the second network to the network device; after the network device receives the measurement report for the second network reported by the terminal device, The terminal device is configured with dual connection mode, for example, the network device is configured with EN-DC dual connection mode for the terminal device. When a network device is configured with a dual connection mode for a terminal device, the network device can be considered as the main network device; the main network device also needs to send a message to the auxiliary network device to instruct the auxiliary network device to establish a connection with the terminal device and indicate Data transmission between auxiliary network equipment and terminal equipment. In this scenario, the main network device and the terminal device perform signaling transmission.

Another optional processing procedure of the reconfiguration message processing method in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 6, includes the following steps:

Step S601: When the terminal device accesses the first network, the third receiving unit of the terminal device receives a reconfiguration message for adding a secondary cell group sent by the network device.

Step S602: The third receiving unit prohibits the third sending unit of the terminal device from sending a response based on the reconfiguration message.

In some embodiments, the third receiving unit sends the first instruction to the third sending unit;

The first instruction is used to instruct the third sending unit not to send a response based on the reconfiguration message to the network device; that is, the third receiving unit instructs the third sending unit not to send any response to the network device. news.

Alternatively, the first instruction is used to instruct the third sending unit to send a message to the network device, and the message content is empty.

Alternatively, the first instruction is used to instruct the third sending unit to send a message to the network device, and the content of the message is not associated with the reconfiguration message; that is, the third sending unit sends a message to the network device. The message sent by the device is not a response message based on the reconfiguration message sent by the network device to the terminal device.

In some embodiments, the method further includes:

Step S603: The third receiving unit turns off the modem module of the second network.

In some embodiments, when the third receiving unit prohibits the third sending unit of the terminal device from sending a response based on the reconfiguration message, the third receiving unit actively shuts down the second network Modulation and demodulation module.

In other embodiments, when the third receiving unit receives a message sent by the network device, and the message configures the terminal device to be in single connection mode, the third receiving unit turns off the modulation of the second network Demodulation module, the terminal device cannot establish a connection with the second network.

It should be noted that, in an optional embodiment of the present application, the first network is an LTE network, and the second network is an NR network. The establishment of a connection between the terminal device and the network device through the first network refers to: the terminal device and the network device communicate within the first network.

In the embodiment of the present application, after a connection is established between the terminal device and the second network device corresponding to the second network, the terminal device can communicate with the second network device. It should be noted that the connection described in the embodiments of the present application refers to access. After the terminal device starts the communication function of the second network device, it needs to adjust various parameters of the terminal device according to the actual situation, so as to achieve the best compromise between performance and power consumption, so that the user can get a better experience. Taking the communication function corresponding to the second network device as a 5G function as an example, referring to FIG. 7, FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of a terminal device turning on smart 5G. Here, turning on smart 5G means optimizing 5G functions. Specifically, When using the 5G function, the terminal device can adjust various parameters (such as the transmission rate) of the terminal device according to the actual situation. As shown in Figure 7, enabling smart 5G on a terminal device includes the following processes:

1. The terminal device determines whether it has received an operation to turn on the smart 5G.

Here, the terminal displays a user interface, and the user interface includes an option to turn on smart 5G, and the user can trigger an operation to select the option corresponding to smart 5G, thereby turning on smart 5G. Here, the user's operation may be a touch operation, a key operation, a voice operation, a gesture operation, or the like.

2. If an operation to turn on smart 5G is received, optimize the 5G function.

Here, the optimization of the 5G function includes at least: after the terminal device receives the measurement request for the second network sent by the network device, it does not report the measurement result for the second network to the network device, thereby avoiding the network device from configuring the dual connection mode for the terminal device , In order to save the power consumption of terminal equipment.

3. If the control instruction to turn on the 5G function is not received, the 5G function is not optimized.

The first optional application scenario of the measurement report method provided by the embodiment of this application is: in the case that the terminal device detects that the running application belongs to the preset application blacklist, the terminal device turns on and restricts the second network The communication function corresponding to the device. When the communication function corresponding to the second network device starts to be restricted, after receiving the reconfiguration message for adding a secondary cell group sent by the network device, the terminal device does not send a response based on the reconfiguration message to the network device. The terminal device controls the network device not to configure the EN-DC mode for the terminal device by ignoring the reconfiguration message sent by the network device to add the secondary cell group and does not send a response based on the reconfiguration message to the network device. The power consumption of the terminal equipment increases the endurance time of the terminal equipment. For example, if the terminal device detects that application A and application B are currently running, and application B belongs to a preset application blacklist, the communication function corresponding to the second network device is restricted.

The second optional application scenario of the measurement report method provided by the embodiment of the present application is that the terminal device detects that in a Volte call, the terminal device opens and restricts the communication function corresponding to the second network device. When the communication function corresponding to the second network device starts to be restricted, the terminal device ignores the reconfiguration message for adding a secondary cell group sent by the network device, and does not send a response based on the reconfiguration message to the network device , To control the network equipment not to configure the EN-DC mode for the terminal equipment, which saves the power consumption of the terminal equipment and increases the endurance time of the terminal equipment.

The third optional application scenario of the measurement report method provided in the embodiment of the present application is: when the terminal device is in the off-screen state, the terminal device starts and restricts the communication function corresponding to the second network device. When the communication function corresponding to the second network device starts to be restricted, the terminal device ignores the reconfiguration message for adding a secondary cell group sent by the network device, and does not send a response based on the reconfiguration message to the network device , To control the network equipment not to configure the EN-DC mode for the terminal equipment, which saves the power consumption of the terminal equipment and increases the endurance time of the terminal equipment. Wherein, the off-screen state means that the display screen of the terminal device is in a non-display state.

The fourth optional application scenario of the measurement report method provided by the embodiment of the application is: the signal of the terminal device under the second network is weaker than the signal under the first network, and the signal of the terminal device under the second network If the intensity is lower than a preset threshold, the terminal device enables and restricts the communication function corresponding to the second network device. When the communication function corresponding to the second network device starts to be restricted, the terminal device ignores the reconfiguration message for adding a secondary cell group sent by the network device, and does not send a response based on the reconfiguration message to the network device , To control the network equipment not to configure the EN-DC mode for the terminal equipment, which saves the power consumption of the terminal equipment and increases the endurance time of the terminal equipment.

The fifth optional application scenario of the measurement report method provided by the embodiment of the application is: the terminal device detects its own data download rate, and when the data download rate is less than a preset threshold, the terminal device turns on the limit The communication function corresponding to the second network device is described. When the communication function corresponding to the second network device starts to be restricted, the terminal device ignores the reconfiguration message for adding a secondary cell group sent by the network device, and does not send a response based on the reconfiguration message to the network device , To control the network equipment not to configure the EN-DC mode for the terminal equipment, which saves the power consumption of the terminal equipment and increases the endurance time of the terminal equipment. Here, the threshold can be flexibly set according to actual needs, for example, set to 8Mbps.
