- Non-public networks is a type of network under discussion in the 3GPP standard, which is different from public land mobile networks (PLMN). NPN networks only allow certain users with specific permissions to access . Non-public networks can also be called private networks. Private networks are compared to public networks and can be understood as private networks, such as internal networks built by companies, schools, or factories. Terminal devices that have not signed a contract with the private network are not allowed to access the private network. Currently, there are several ways to deploy private networks:
- the private network can be configured with private network-specific base stations and cells under the core network.
- the terminal equipment supporting the private network can reside and initiate services at the base station and core network.
- This kind of private network is generally called an independent private network ( Standalone non-public networks, SNPN).
- Different SNPN networks can be identified by different NPN IDs.
- the mobile country number (mobile contrast code, MCC) of the PLMN ID of the SNPN network is 999, and the mobile network number (mobile net code, MNC) has not yet been defined.
- MCC mobile contrast code
- MNC mobile network number
- the public network PLMN ID can also be used.
- the SNPN network In addition to its own NPN ID, the SNPN network also has its own PLMN ID. That is to say, in order to accurately distinguish two different SNPN networks, the PLMN ID and NPN ID can be used to identify an SNPN network at the same time.
- the SNPN network and the PLMN network each have an independent radio access network (RAN) and a core network (core network, CN), and the core networks of the two can be connected through the N3IWF network element. Since the core networks of the SNPN network and the PLMN network are not shared, mobility is not supported between the SNPN network and the PLMN network, for example, cell handover is not supported between the SNPN cell and the PLMN cell.
- RAN radio access network
- core network core network
- mobility refers to cell handover when in the RRC connected state, and refers to cell reselection when in the RRC non-connected state.
- the private network can also be a non-standalone private network.
- a non-standalone private network can also be called a closed access group (CG).
- CG closed access group
- Different CAG networks that is, different non-standalone private networks
- CAG ID can be Use different CAG ID to identify.
- the CAG network and the PLMN network can share the core network, and some network devices in the CAG network can access the PLMN network. Therefore, mobility is supported between the CAG network and the PLMN network, for example, cell switching is supported between the CAG cell and the PLMN cell.
- the non-terrestrial network is a communication scenario in the 5G system. Since traditional terrestrial networks cannot provide seamless coverage for terminal equipment, especially in places where base stations cannot be deployed such as the sea, desert, and air, non-terrestrial networks are introduced into 5G systems. In the NTN network, by deploying base stations or part of the base station functions on high-altitude platforms or satellites to provide seamless coverage for terminal equipment, and high-altitude platforms or satellites are less affected by natural disasters, the reliability of the 5G system can be improved.

- the terminal device when the terminal device is in the RRC connection state, the terminal device has established a link with the base station and the core network, and when data arrives at the network, it can be directly transmitted to the terminal device; when the terminal device is in the RRC third state (or RRC deactivated state) ) Means that the terminal equipment has previously established links with the base station and the core network, but the link from the terminal equipment to the base station is released. Although the link is released, the base station will store the context of the terminal equipment. When there is data need During transmission, the base station can quickly restore this link; when the terminal equipment is in the RRC idle state, there is no link between the terminal equipment and the base station and the network. When there is data to be transmitted, the terminal equipment needs to be established to the base station and core network Link.
- Mobility management is an important part of wireless mobile communication. It refers to the general term for related content involved in order to ensure that the communication link between the network and the terminal device is not interrupted due to the movement of the terminal device. According to the state of the terminal device, it can be roughly divided into two parts: idle state mobility management and connected state mobility management.
- mobility management In the idle state, mobility management mainly refers to the process of cell selection/reselection, and in the connected state, mobility management mainly refers to cell handover. Whether it is cell selection/reselection or handover, it is all based on the measurement results. Therefore, mobility measurement is the basis of mobility management.
- the most basic measurement mechanism is that the network sends the measurement configuration in the relevant signaling.
- the terminal device measures the relevant frequency or cell according to the configuration, and reports the result to the network according to the form required in the measurement configuration.
- the network can report it according to the terminal device. Content to make the next decision.
- the idle state and third state measurement can also be introduced in the DC and CA scenarios.
- the above idle state and third state measurement are collectively referred to as early Measurement (early measurement).
- the network When the network puts the terminal device in the idle state or the third state, it can carry an effective timer in the RRC release message, and send the specific measurement configuration to the terminal device through the system broadcast message or dedicated signaling, and the specific measurement configuration instruction The list of frequency points to be measured and (optional) cells of the terminal equipment.
- the obtained measurement result is stored.
- the terminal device reports the stored measurement result to the network for the network to evaluate whether the terminal device can be configured with a corresponding serving cell.
- ANR self-organizing and self-optimization network
- KPI key performance index
- the ANR function is assisted by terminal equipment. It is a function that the base station needs to understand the surrounding neighboring cells in order to better make various measurement, handover and other decisions. In simple terms, each base station maintains a neighboring cell relationship table for a cell, and adds or deletes neighboring cells in the table according to various measurement results reported by the terminal device.

- ECGI evolved cell global identifier
- NCGI new radio access technology cell global identifier
- Step 4 The terminal equipment reports the CGI of the target cell to the base station.
- the CGI of the target cell can be sent to the base station through a measurement report.
- Step 5 The base station finds that the target cell can be added as a neighbor of cell A, or in other words, the base station finds that cell A supports mobility with the target cell, so it adds the correspondence between the PCI and CGI of the target cell to the neighbor of cell A.
- cell A establishes a neighboring cell relationship with the target cell, so that the terminal device can switch from cell A to the target cell, thereby optimizing the network neighboring cell relationship of cell A, and ensuring that the terminal at the service boundary of cell A
- the equipment can switch to the cell with the best signal in time to ensure the quality of the call and the performance of the entire network.
- this situation may occur during the process of maintaining the neighbor relationship table of cell A.
- the base station finds that cell A does not support mobility with the target cell, for example, cell A Cell handover is not supported with the target cell, that is, the target cell cannot be added as a neighboring cell of cell A, or the target cell cannot be added to the neighboring cell relationship table of cell A.

为便于理解本申请实施例,首先结合图1详细说明适用于本申请实施例的通信系统。图1示出了适用于本申请实施例的通信系统的示意图。如图1所示,该通信系统10可以 包括至少一个网络设备,例如图1所示的网络设备11;该通信系统10还可以包括至少一个终端设备,例如图1所示的终端设备12。网络设备11与终端设备12可通过无线链路通信。各通信设备,如网络设备11或终端设备12,可以配置多个天线,该多个天线可以包括至少一个用于发送信号的发射天线和至少一个用于接收信号的接收天线。另外,各通信设备还附加地包括发射机链和接收机链,本领域普通技术人员可以理解,它们均可包括与信号发送和接收相关的多个部件(例如处理器、调制器、复用器、解调器、解复用器或天线等)。因此,网络设备11与终端设备12可通过多天线技术通信。

为便于理解本申请实施例,首先对本申请中涉及到的相关技术内容作简单说明。
一、非公共网络
非公网络(non-public networks,NPN)是3GPP标准中正在讨论的一种网络,区别于公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile networks,PLMN),NPN网络只允许某些具有特定权限的用户接入。非公网络也可以被称为私网,私网是相对于公网而言,可以理解为私密的网络,例如公司、学校或者工厂搭建的内部网络。未与私网签约的终端设备不允许接入私网。目前,私网的部署方式可以有如下几种:
1、私网可以为配置私网专有的基站、核心网下的小区,支持该私网的终端设备可以在基站、核心网驻留和发起业务,一般称这种私网为独立私网(standalone non-public networks,SNPN),对于不同的SNPN网络,可以用不同的NPN ID来标识。根据现有的通信协议,SNPN网络的PLMN ID的移动国家号码(mobile contrary code,MCC)是999,移动网号(mobile net code,MNC)还未定义。在基站共享的情况下也可沿用公网PLMN ID。
SNPN网络除了拥有自己的NPN ID,还拥有自己的PLMN ID,也就是说,为了准确区分两个不同的SNPN网络,可以同时用PLMN ID和NPN ID来对一个SNPN网络进行标识。
SNPN网络和PLMN网络各自拥有独立的接入网(radio access network,RAN)和核心网(core network,CN),二者的核心网之间可以通过N3IWF网元相连接。由于SNPN网络和PLMN网络的核心网不共用,因此,SNPN网络和PLMN网络之间不支持移动性,例如,SNPN小区和PLMN小区之间不支持小区切换。
在LTE系统和5G系统中,移动性在RRC连接态的时候是指小区切换,RRC非连接态的时候是指小区重选。
2、私网还可以是非独立(non-standalone)私网,非独立私网也可以被称为封闭访问 网络(closed access group,CAG),不同的CAG网络(即不同的非独立私网)可以用不同的CAG ID来标识。CAG网络和PLMN网络可以共用核心网,部分CAG网络中的网络设备可以接入到PLMN网络中,因此CAG网络和PLMN网络之间支持移动性,例如,CAG小区和PLMN小区之间支持小区切换。
二、非陆地网络
非陆地网络(non-terrestrial network,NTN)是5G系统中的一个通信场景。由于传统地面网络不能为终端设备提供无缝覆盖,特别是在大海、沙漠、空中等无法部署基站的地方,非陆地网络被引入5G系统中。在NTN网络中,通过将基站或者部分基站功能部署在高空平台或者卫星上为终端设备提供无缝覆盖,并且高空平台或者卫星受自然灾害影响较小,能够提升5G系统的可靠性。
在NTN网络中,具备长天线的终端设备可以与部署于高空平台或者卫星上的基站进行通信连接,其中,高空平台可以是热气球、飞机或者其它飞行器。而卫星可以是低地球轨道(low earth orbit,LEO)卫星、中地球轨道(medium earth orbit,MEO)卫星或者静止地球轨道(geostationary earth orbit,GEO)卫星等。
三、RRC状态
在5G系统中,终端设备的RRC状态包括RRC连接态(RRC_CONNECTED),RRC去激活态或者RRC第三态(RRC_INACTIVE),RRC空闲态(RRC_IDLE)。图2示出了RRC三种状态的转换关系示意图。
其中,终端设备处于RRC连接态时,终端设备与基站以及核心网都已建立链路,当有数据到达网络时可以直接传送到终端设备;当终端设备处于RRC第三态(或者RRC去激活态)时,表示终端设备之前和基站以及核心网建立过链路,但是终端设备到基站这一段链路被释放了,虽然链路被释放了,但是基站会存储终端设备的上下文,当有数据需要传输时,基站可以快速恢复这段链路;当终端设备处于RRC空闲态时,终端设备与基站和网络之间都没有链路,当有数据需要传输时,需要建立终端设备到基站及核心网的链路。
四、测量
移动性管理是无线移动通信中的重要组成部分。它指的是为了保证网络与终端设备之间的通信链路不因终端设备的移动而中断所涉及到的相关内容的统称。根据终端设备的状态大致上可以分为空闲态移动性管理和连接态移动性管理两部分。
在空闲态下,移动性管理主要指的是小区选择/重选(cell selection/reselection)的过程,在连接态下,移动性管理主要指的是小区切换(handover)。不论是小区选择/重选还是切换,都是基于测量的结果进行的。因此移动性测量是移动性管理的基础。最基本的测量机制是,网络在相关信令里下发测量配置,终端设备根据配置对相关的频率或者小区进行测量,根据测量配置中要求的形式把结果上报给网络,网络可以根据终端设备上报的内容进行下一步决策。
五、提早测量
为了减少配置双连接(dual connectivity,DC)或者载波聚合(carrier aggregation,CA)的时间,DC和CA场景中也可以引入空闲态和第三态测量,上述空闲态和第三态测量统称为提早测量(early measurement)。
网络将终端设备置为空闲态或第三态时,可以在RRC释放消息中携带一个生效定时 器,并通过系统广播消息或专用信令将具体的测量配置发送给终端设备,具体的测量配置指示终端设备的待测频点和(可选的)小区列表。在定时器运行时间内,终端设备在空闲态或第三态进行测量时,存储获得的测量结果。当终端设备进入连接态时,终端设备将存储的测量结果上报给网络,用于网络评估是否可以给终端设备进行相应的服务小区配置。
六、自动邻区关系
自动邻区关系是自组织自优化网络(self-organizing and self-optimization network,SON)技术的一个重要功能。与传统的主要依靠网络工程师根据现场勘测情况进行配置和调整的方式不同,ANR功能的引入,能够根据网络中相关关键性能指标(key performance index,KPI)的统计结果,触发基站打开测量,收集数据,生成告警和处理建议,优化邻区关系。这个处理的中间过程是自动进行的,因此能极大地降低人力成本。
ANR功能由终端设备辅助实现,是基站为了更好地做出各种测量、切换等决策,需要了解周边相邻小区的情况而设定的功能。简单来说,每个基站针对一个小区都会维护一张邻区关系表,根据终端设备上报的各种测量结果,对表格里的邻区进行增删。图3示出了基于ANR建立邻区关系的示意图。该过程包括:
步骤1、终端设备向小区A的基站(例如,该小区A为终端设备的服务小区,该基站为终端设备的服务基站)上报包含测量到的目标小区的PCI的测量报告。例如,PCI=5,代表目标小区,该PCI是局部标识,不具有全网唯一性。
步骤2、基站确定小区A的邻区关系表里没有目标小区的PCI,或者说,基站发现对应频点下的该PCI是首次出现(不认识),或者说,基站发现该PCI是未知的(例如PCI=5是未知的),基站则会向终端设备发送CGI请求消息,该CGI请求消息中包含目标小区的PCI,用于指示终端设备去读取目标小区的CGI,并且向基站进行上报。
步骤3、终端设备读取目标小区的CGI。例如,终端设备可以通过读取目标小区广播的系统消息块1(system information block1,SIB1),以得到目标小区的CGI。可选地,该CGI包括演进的小区全球标识(evolved cell global identifier,ECGI)或者新无线接入技术小区全球标识(NR cell global identifier,NCGI)。
步骤4、终端设备向基站上报目标小区的CGI。例如,可通过测量报告将目标小区的CGI发送给基站。
步骤5、基站发现目标小区能被加为小区A的邻区,或者说,基站发现小区A支持与该目标小区的移动性,于是将目标小区的PCI和CGI的对应关系添加到小区A的邻区关系表中,即小区A建立和目标小区的邻区关系,这样终端设备就能够从小区A切换到目标小区了,从而优化了小区A的网络邻区关系,保证在小区A服务边界的终端设备能及时切换到信号最佳的小区,以保证通话质量和整网的性能。
应理解,前述对非公共网络、非陆地网络、RRC状态、测量、提早测量、自动邻区关系等的相关介绍只是为了便于理解本申请的技术方案,而不对本申请构成任何限定。
下面结合图3继续对ANR做进一步的介绍。
如图3所示,在对小区A的邻区关系表进行维护的过程中可能出现这一情况,在上述步骤5中,基站发现小区A并不支持与目标小区的移动性,例如,小区A和目标小区之间并不支持小区切换,即该目标小区无法被添加为小区A的邻区,或者说该目标小区无法被添加到小区A的邻区关系表中。此时对于基站来说,终端设备上报的CGI是没有价值 的,终端设备上报CGI这一步骤(即步骤4)是无效上报,是没有意义的,从而不利于节省终端设备的能耗,并且浪费了信令开销。
下面结合图4对上述情况做进一步详细说明。
图4示出了适用于本申请实施例的通信系统的另一例的示意图。如图4所示,该通信系统20可以包括至少一个网络设备,例如图4所示的基站21;该通信系统20还可以包括至少一个终端设备,例如图4所示的终端设备22。基站21与终端设备22可通过无线链路通信,例如,基站21和终端设备22可以通过小区A进行通信,即小区A为终端设备22的服务小区。
在对小区A的邻区关系表进行维护时,终端设备22可以对小区A的邻小区进行测量,并且测量得到图4中所示的目标小区(在图4中,基站23为目标小区的基站),终端设备22可以将该目标小区的PCI向基站21进行上报。基站21发现小区A的邻区关系表里没有目标小区的PCI,则可以向终端设备22发送CGI请求消息,用于指示终端设备22读取并且向基站21上报目标小区的CGI。
进一步地,终端设备22将目标小区的CGI向基站21进行上报。在收到目标小区的CGI以后,基站21可能发现小区A和目标小区之间并不支持移动性,该目标小区无法被加为小区A的邻区。
例如,该小区A为PLMN小区(即此时基站21为PLMN网络中的基站),而目标小区为SNPN小区(即此时基站23为SNPN网络中的基站)。
再例如,该小区A为SNPN小区,而目标小区为PLMN小区、CAG小区、NTN小区中的任意一种。
再例如,该小区A为第一SNPN网络的小区,而目标小区为第二SNPN网络的小区。
由于SNPN小区和PLMN小区、CAG小区、NTN小区之间均不支持移动性,不同的SNPN网络内的小区之间也不支持移动性,因此该目标小区无法被添加为小区A的邻区。也就是说,终端设备22将目标小区的CGI向基站21进行上报(即对应图3中的步骤4)为无效上报,从而不利于节省终端设备的能耗,并且浪费了信令开销。
本申请提供一种通信方法,在维护邻区关系表时,终端设备能够根据网络设备的指示有选择性的仅上报符合要求的目标小区的CGI,从而能够节约终端设备的能耗,并且节约信令开销。
下面结合附图介绍本申请实施例提供的通信方法,实施例中的网络设备可以是图1中的网络设备11,终端设备可以是图1中的终端设备12,此外,实施例中的网络设备也可以是图4中的基站21,终端设备可以是图4中的终端设备22。

相应地,在步骤220中,终端设备接收网络设备发送的邻区上报指示信息;
在步骤230中,终端设备根据测量到的目标小区和邻区上报指示信息,确定是否向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI。
具体地,本申请实施例中的终端设备和网络设备可以是属于LTE系统中的通信设备,也可以是属于5G系统中的通信设备,或者是属于其他任意系统中的通信设备,本申请对此并不限定。
进一步地,网络设备可以和终端设备建立通信连接,并且网络设备可以通过终端设备对网络设备下的某个小区(记作小区A)进行邻区关系管理,例如对小区A的邻区关系表中的邻区进行增删。

可选地,终端设备对小区A周边的邻小区进行测量,可以是基于网络设备发送的测量配置信息进行的。
可选地,该测量配置信息包括要测量的至少一个频点的信息,终端设备基于该频点进行小区测量。
终端设备在测量得到目标小区以后,可以将目标小区的PCI向网络设备进行上报。例如,可以通过测量报告将目标小区的PCI发送给网络设备。
网络设备可以接收目标小区的PCI,并且确定小区A的邻区关系表里没有目标小区的PCI,或者说,网络设备发现对应频点下的该PCI是首次出现(不认识),或者说,网络设备发现该PCI是未知的,则此时网络设备可以向终端设备发送CGI请求消息,该CGI请求消息用于指示终端设备读取并且向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI。
可选地,CGI请求消息中包括目标小区的PCI。
在步骤210中,终端设备可以确定邻区上报指示信息,该邻区上报指示信息能够用于终端设备和测量到的目标小区确定是否向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI。

例如,邻区上报指示信息可以用于指示哪些小区需要上报,或者用于指示哪些小区不需要上报,终端设备可以结合目标小区的信息(例如目标小区的网络类型、目标小区的小区标识等),确定是否向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI。
可选地,邻区上报指示信息用于指示以下内容中的至少一种:需要上报的第一类型网络、第一类型网络对应的第一网络、第一网络类型对应的第一小区。
例如,该第一类型网络可以是PLMN网络、SNPN网络、CAG网络、NTN网络中的任意一种。

再例如,邻区上报指示信息可以用于指示SNPN网络中网络标识为PLMN ID 1、NPN ID 1的网络。此时,邻区上报指示信息包含的参数可以包括PLMN ID 1、NPN ID 1。
可选地,当邻区上报指示信息用于指示第一类型网络对应的第一小区时,该邻区上报指示信息可以用于指示PLMN网络、SNPN网络、CAG网络、NTN网络下的任意一个小区。
例如,邻区上报指示信息可以用于指示PLMN网络中网络标识为PLMN ID 1的网络下的小区1,该小区1可以用频点1和PCI 1进行标识。此时,邻区上报指示信息包含的参数可以包括PLMN ID 1、频点1、PCI 1。

以上内容仅作为示例,而非构成对本申请的限定,本申请对邻区上报指示信息包含的内容以及指示方式并不限定。
可选地,邻区上报指示信息可以是显性指示,例如,按照协议或者系统的规定,或者按照网络设备和终端设备的约定,可以通过一串特定的代码,或者一比特的0或1,或者用NULL和非NULL区分以此来对第一类型网络(或者第一类型网络对应的第一网络,或者第一网络类型对应的第一小区)进行指示。
例如,可以用两个比特位的代码来对上述各种类型的网络进行指示。按照协议或者系统的规定,或者按照网络设备和终端设备的约定,可以分别用两比特的“00”、“01”、“10”、“11”来分别指示第一类型网络为PLMN网络、SNPN网络、CAG网络、NTN网络。
应理解,上述通过一串特定的代码等方式来显性指示第一类型网络(或者第一类型网络对应的第一网络,或者第一网络类型对应的第一小区)所需占用的时频资源十分有限,要远远小于上报CGI时所需占用的时频资源。
可选地,邻区上报指示信息还可以是隐性指示,例如,按照协议或者系统的规定,或者按照网络设备和终端设备的约定,通过在不同的时频资源上发送CGI请求消息来间接指示第一类型网络(或者第一类型网络对应的第一网络,或者第一网络类型对应的第一小区),而终端设备可以根据对发送CGI请求消息的接收情况(在哪个时频资源上接收到信息)来确定邻区上报指示信息的指示内容。
应理解,本申请实施例中的“协议”可以是指通信领域的标准协议,例如可以包括LTE协议、NR协议以及应用于未来的通信系统中的相关协议,本申请对此不做限定。
可选地,在本申请实施例中,邻区上报指示信息除了用于指示需要上报的第一网络类型(或者第一类型网络对应的第一网络,或者第一网络类型对应的第一小区),还可以同 时用于指示需要上报的其他网络类型(或者其他类型网络对应的网络、或者其他类型网络对应的小区),本申请对此并不限定。
可选地,邻区上报指示信息还可以用于指示以下内容中的至少一种:不需要上报的第二类型网络、第二类型网络对应的第二网络、第二网络类型对应的第二小区。
例如,该第二类型网络可以是PLMN网络、SNPN网络、CAG网络、NTN网络中的任意一种。
此外,该第二类型网络也可以是WIFI等其他网络,本申请对此并不限定。
类似地,在本申请实施例中,邻区上报指示信息除了用于指示不需要上报的第二网络类型(或者第二类型网络对应的第二网络,或者第二网络类型对应的第二小区),还可以同时用于指示不需要上报的其他网络类型(或者其他类型网络对应的网络、或者其他类型网络对应的小区),本申请对此并不限定。
本申请实施例对网络设备如何确定邻区上报指示信息不做限定,作为一种可能的实施方式,网络设备可以根据当前进行邻区关系管理的小区支持的移动性确定邻区上报指示信息,即,网络设备可以根据小区A支持的移动性确定邻区上报指示信息。
例如,小区A属于SNPN网络中的小区,并且是属于网络标识为PLMN ID 1、NPN ID1下的小区,由于SNPN网络不支持与PLMN网络、CAG网络、NTN网络之间的移动性,同时不同的SNPN网络之间也不支持移动性,可选地,此时网络设备确定的邻区上报指示信息可以用于指示需要上报的第一类型网络对应的第一网络为网络标识为PLMN ID 1、NPN ID 1的网络。
可选地,此时网络设备确定的邻区上报指示信息还可以用于指示不需要上报的第二类型网络为PLMN网络、CAG网络、NTN网络中的至少一种。
再例如,小区A属于PLMN网络中的小区,由于PLMN网络支持与CAG网络、NTN网络之间的移动性,但是不支持与SNPN网络的移动性,可选地,此时网络设备确定的邻区上报指示信息可以用于指示需要上报的第一类型网络为PLMN网络、CAG网络、NTN网络中的至少一种。
可选地,此时网络设备确定的邻区上报指示信息还可以用于指示不需要上报的第二类型网络为SNPN网络。
在步骤220,网络设备向终端设备发送邻区上报指示信息。
可选地,邻区上报指示信息可以携带于目标小区的CGI请求消息中。
可选地,邻区上报指示信息也可以携带于其他系统消息或者专用消息中,本申请对此并不限定。
在步骤230中,终端设备根据测量到的目标小区和邻区上报指示信息,确定是否向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI。
可选地,终端设备根据测量到的目标小区和邻区上报指示信息,确定向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI。
可选地,终端设备根据测量到的目标小区和邻区上报指示信息,确定不向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI。
可选地,邻区上报指示信息用于指示以下内容中的至少一种:需要上报的第一类型网络、第一类型网络对应的第一网络、第一网络类型对应的第一小区。
终端设备可以通过读取目标小区的系统消息(例如SIB1)确定目标小区的网络类型,或者说,确定目标小区所属于的网络,进而可以同邻区上报指示信息指示的第一类型网络或者第一网络进行匹配,并且根据匹配结果确定是否向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI。
例如,邻区上报指示信息用于指示需要上报的第一类型网络,当目标小区属于第一类型网络时,终端设备向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI;当目标小区不属于第一类型网络时,终端设备不向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI。
作为具体示例,第一类型网络可以是SNPN网络,目标小区属于PLMN网络中的小区,即此时目标小区不属于第一类型网络,因此,终端设备可以不向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI。
再例如,邻区上报指示信息用于指示需要上报的第一网络,当目标小区属于第一网络时,终端设备向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI;当目标小区不属于第一网络时,终端设备不向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI。
作为具体示例,第一网络可以是网络标识为PLMN ID 1、NPN ID 1的网络,目标小区属于PLMN ID 1、NPN ID 2中的小区,即此时目标小区不属于该第一网络,因此,终端设备可以不向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI。
此外,终端设备还可以确定目标小区的小区标识(例如可以确定目标小区的频点以及PCI),并且同第一小区进行匹配,进而可以根据匹配结果确定是否向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI。
例如,邻区上报指示信息用于指示需要上报的第一小区,当目标小区与第一小区为相同的小区时,终端设备向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI,当目标小区与第一小区为不相同的小区时,终端设备不向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI。
可选地,邻区上报指示信息还可以用于指示以下内容中的至少一种:不需要上报的第二类型网络、第二类型网络对应的第二网络、第二网络类型对应的第二小区。
例如,邻区上报指示信息用于指示不需要上报的第二类型网络,当目标小区属于第二类型网络时,终端设备不向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI;当目标小区不属于第二类型网络时,终端设备向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI。
作为具体示例,第二类型网络可以是SNPN网络,目标小区属于PLMN网络中的小区,即此时目标小区不属于第二类型网络,因此,终端设备可以向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI。
再例如,邻区上报指示信息用于指示不需要上报的第二网络,当目标小区属于第二网络时,终端设备不向网络设备上报所述目标小区的CGI;当目标小区不属于第二网络时,终端设备向网络设备上报所述目标小区的CGI。
再例如,邻区上报指示信息用于指示不需要上报的第二小区,当目标小区与第二小区为相同的小区时,终端设备不向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI;当目标小区与第二小区为不同的小区时,终端设备向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI。

此外,在本申请实施例中,可以根据当前进行邻区关系管理的小区支持的移动性来确定该邻区上报指示信息,从而能够提高目标小区的CGI的上报效率,减少或者避免无效上报,有利于高效的进行邻区关系管理。
结合图4所示,在对小区A的邻区关系表进行维护的过程中还可能出现这一情况,小区A和目标小区之间支持移动性,该目标小区可以被添加到小区A的邻区关系表中,然而,如果当前小区A内的所有终端设备均不具备接入目标小区的能力,这样即使该目标小区已经被添加到小区A的邻区关系表中,小区A内的所有终端设备也无法使用该目标小区,例如,无法将该目标小区切换为服务小区,也就是说,此时终端设备22将目标小区的CGI向基站21进行上报(即对应图3中的步骤4)同样为无效上报,从而不利于节省终端设备的能耗,并且浪费了信令开销。
作为具体示例,小区A可以为PLMN网络中的小区,而目标小区为NTN网络中的小区,小区A和目标小区之间支持移动性,该目标小区可以被添加到小区A的邻区关系表中。
然而,当前小区A内的所有终端设备均不具备接入NTN网络的能力(例如,所有终端设备都不具备长天线,且发射功率较小,无法与NTN网络中部署于卫星或者空中平台上的网络设备(即图4中目标小区的基站23)进行通信),此时即使将目标小区添加到小区A的邻区关系表中,小区A内的所有终端设备也无法使用该目标小区。也就是说,此时终端设备22将目标小区的CGI向基站21进行上报为无效上报,不利于节省终端设备的能耗,并且浪费了信令开销。

可选地,当终端设备具备接入第一类型网络的能力时,终端设备向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI;当终端设备不具备接入第一类型网络的能力时,终端设备不向网络设备上报所述目标小区的CGI。
可选地,当终端设备具备接入第一类型网络的能力,并且开启了接入第一类型网络的功能时,终端设备向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI;当终端设备具备接入第一类型网络的能力,并且未开启接入第一类型网络的功能时,终端设备不向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI。
可选地,当终端设备能够接入第一网络时,终端设备向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI;当终端设备不能接入第一网络时,终端设备不向网络设备上报目标小区的CGI,其中,目标小区属于第一网络(即此时第一网络为第一类型网络对应的网络)。
在本申请实施例中,在维护邻区关系表时,终端设备能够基于自身的能力有选择性仅上报符合要求的目标小区的CGI,而不是直接将全部的目标小区的CGI向网络设备进行上报,从而能够减少不必要的上报,可以节约终端设备的能耗,并且节约信令开销。
结合前述对提早测量的介绍,现有的机制中,网络设备给终端设备配置的测量目标可能并不合理,使得终端设备进行了一些不必要的测量和上报,不利于节省终端设备的能耗,并且浪费了信令开销。
本申请还提供一种通信方法,在测量配置信息中包括小区黑名单,这样在终端设备进入空闲态或第三态之后,可以更加高效的对小区进行测量,能够提高终端设备的测量效率,节省终端设备的能耗。

可选地,测量配置信息包括测量对象,小区黑名单中的小区为测量对象下的小区。例如,该测量对象为至少一个频点,该小区黑名单可以为该至少一个频点下的小区(可以用PCI进行标识)。
本申请实施例对网络设备如何确定测量配置信息中的小区黑名单不做限定,作为一种可能的实施方式,小区黑名单包括网络设备在进行邻区关系管理时被拒绝的小区。
容易理解的,网络设备在进行邻区关系管理时被拒绝的小区可能并不支持和网络设备之间的移动性,也就是说,上述被拒绝的小区可能是并不支持与网络设备做CA和/或DC移动性的小区,因此对上述小区的测量和上报是多余的。终端设备可以不对上述被拒绝的小区进行测量,从而可以提高测量效率,节省终端设备的能耗。
在步骤420中,网络设备向终端设备发送测量配置信息。
