Technical field

This application relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a measurement configuration method and device.

Background technique

In the mobile communication network, the mobility management of terminal equipment is an important issue. The terminal equipment obtains continuous service of the wireless network by reselecting and switching between cells with different coverage areas. According to the different radio resource control (RRC) state between the terminal device and the network device, when the terminal device is in the idle (RRC_IDLE) state or the deactivated (RRC_INACTIVE) state, there is no RRC connection between the terminal device and the network device. When the signal quality of the cell where the terminal device resides is lower than a certain threshold, the terminal device measures the signals of the cell and neighboring cells in the same frequency, different frequencies and/or different systems configured in the system message by the network device. Quality, to determine whether the signal quality of the neighboring cell meets the cell reselection conditions. If the signal quality of the neighboring cell meets the cell reselection condition, the terminal device resides in the neighboring cell. When the terminal device is in the connected (RRC_CONNECTED) state, there is an RRC connection between the terminal device and the network device, and the network device configures the terminal device to perform intra-frequency, inter-frequency, and/or different system neighbor cell measurements through RRC signaling. The terminal equipment reports the signal quality measurement results of the serving cell and neighboring cells to the network equipment through RRC signaling, and the network equipment then switches the terminal equipment to a cell with better signal quality based on the measurement results when the terminal equipment is in. Therefore, whether it is the cell reselection in the idle state and the deactivated state, or the cell handover in the connected state, it is based on the signal quality measurement results of the terminal device on the serving cell and neighboring cells. As shown in FIG. 1, it is a schematic diagram of a user equipment (UE) moving between cell 1, cell 2, and cell 3.

Power saving (power saving) is an important direction of the current new radio (NR) standard research.

For a terminal device in an idle state or in an inactive (RRC_INACTIVE) state, periodically performing neighbor cell measurements is a major power consumption overhead of the terminal device. For a terminal device in a connected (RRC_CONNECTED) state, periodically performing neighbor cell measurements is also a major power consumption overhead for the terminal device.

It should be understood that the communication device in this application may be a terminal device, or an electronic device or chip in a terminal device. The description below only takes the communication device as a terminal device as an example.

In a 5G system, the RRC state of the UE includes a connected state, a deactivated state, and an idle state. The transition between the three states is shown in Figure 3. Compared with 4G LTE, which only has two RRC states, RRC_IDLE and RRC_CONNECTED, 5G new radio (NR) introduces a new state, RRC INACTIVE, to meet the needs of low latency and low power consumption. The schematic diagram of the RRC state and transition of the UE is shown in Fig. 3. When the UE is in the idle state, it can establish an RRC connection, switch to the connected state, and return to the idle state by releasing the RRC connection. When the UE in the connected state is in the low demand state, the release of the RRC connection can be delayed to switch to the deactivated state, and the RRC connection can be released to return to the idle state.

For the inter-frequency and/or inter-system neighboring area measurement in the connected state, according to the capabilities of the terminal device, the terminal device can use the measurement-free (GAP) measurement method and the measurement window measurement method to measure the inter-frequency and/or inter-system neighboring area . The measurement window can also be called the measurement interval. According to the capabilities of the terminal device, the terminal device can use the measurement window-free measurement method or the measurement window measurement method to measure the neighboring areas of different frequencies or different systems. If the terminal device has multiple sets of radio frequency channels and can support receiving signals on different frequencies or neighboring cells of different systems at the same time when transmitting and receiving signals on the serving cell, the terminal device supports the measurement window-free measurement method to measure the signals of the neighboring cells of different frequencies or different systems. ; Otherwise, the terminal equipment needs to use the measurement window measurement method to measure the signals of different frequencies or adjacent areas of different systems. The terminal equipment stops the signal transmission and reception on the serving cell within the measurement window, adjusts the radio frequency path to the different frequency or the different system frequency point, and receives the signals of the different frequency or the neighboring cell of the different system. The network device configures the measurement window semi-statically through RRC signaling. Once the measurement window is configured through RRC signaling, it will periodically appear at a fixed offset position until it is configured through RRC signaling again.

The NR protocol requires that for LTE and NR belonging to the same frequency range (frequency Range, FR), when LTE measures NR, 4G radio access network and 5G NR dual connectivity (EUTRA-NR dual connectivity, EN-DC) measures LTE inter-frequency , EN-DC measurement of NR inter-frequency, independent networking (Standalone, SA) measurement of NR inter-frequency, SA measurement of LTE inter-system and other scenarios, all need to configure a measurement window to assist in the measurement. Under the same FR, all frequency points of NR measurement GAP are uniformly configured. For the case of not supporting the independent configuration of the measurement window for FR1 and FR2, a UE-level unified measurement window needs to be configured during measurement; for the case of supporting the independent configuration of the measurement window for FR1 and FR2, a measurement is configured independently for all frequency bands of FR1 or all frequency bands of FR2. window. The details can be shown in Table 1 below.

Table 1

Among them, FR1 includes multiple frequency bands, and each frequency band includes multiple frequency points. FR2 also includes multiple frequency bands, and each frequency band includes multiple frequency points, as shown in Table 2.

Table 2

The schematic diagram of the configuration parameters of the measurement window is shown in Figure 4, which is mainly composed of three parameters: measurement gap repetition period (MGRP) configuration measurement window period; measurement gap length (MGL) configuration The length of the measurement window; the measurement offset (gapOffset) configures the starting position of the measurement window. The unit is ms. Among them, the range of gapOffset should be from 0 to MGRP-1. According to these three parameters, it can be determined that the measurement window starts at the system frame number (SFN) and subframe (subframe) that meet the following conditions:

SFN mod T=FLOOR(gapOffset/10);

subframe=gapOffset mod 10;

T=MGRP/10;

The above SFN and subframe are the SFN and subframe of the primary cell (primary cell, PCell). The maximum MGL is 6ms. In addition, the configuration parameters of the measurement window may also include measurement gap timing advance (MGTA). If the UE is configured with this parameter, the UE starts measurement by MGTA ms ahead of the subframe of the measurement window.

For inter-frequency and/or inter-system neighbor cell measurement in the idle state or in the deactivated state, since the terminal device does not need to send and receive data on the camping cell, there is no need to configure a measurement window.

The measurement of the NR neighboring cell can be based on the synchronization signal block (SSB), but due to the particularity of the SSB signal design, if the measurement window measurement method is used to perform the connection state inter-frequency or different system neighboring cell measurement), the network equipment needs The configuration measurement window includes the transmission time period of the SSB of the neighboring cell. The SSB of the NR cell is sent periodically, and the period can be 5ms, 10ms, 20ms, 40ms, 80ms, or 160ms. Multiple SSBs can be sent in one cycle, but all SSBs are sent in one 5ms to form an SSB burst. For example: If the SSB cycle is 20ms, there are 4 5ms in a cycle, and all SSBs are sent in one 5ms, and no SSB is sent in the other 3 5ms. Therefore, when the network device configures the measurement window, the measurement window needs to include the transmission time period of the SSB of the neighboring cell, as shown in Figure 5. Otherwise, the terminal device will not receive the SSB of the NR neighboring cell in the measurement window, so it cannot be measured. To the neighborhood.

In addition, the time domain position of the measurement window refers to the timing of the PCell, and the time domain position of the SSB is sent at the timing of the NR neighboring cell. In order to configure the correct measurement window position, the network device needs to know the timing deviation between the PCell and the NR neighboring cell. Therefore, it is determined that the SFN and subframe number of the SSB of the NR neighboring cell correspond to the SFN and subframe number of the PCell. The timing deviation between the PCell and the NR neighboring cell can be obtained by measuring the system frame number and frame timing difference (SFTD) of the terminal device.

SFTD measurement results include SFN deviation and frame boundary timing deviation. The current protocol supports the dual connectivity between LTE PCell and NR PSCell under EN-DC, between 5G NR and 4G radio access network (NR-EUTRA dual connectivity, NE-DC), between NR PCell and LTE PSCell, and between 5G NR and PSCell. SFTD measurement between NR PCell and NR PSCell under 5G NR dual connectivity NR-DC (NR-dual connectivity, NR-DC), and between LTE PCell and NR adjacent cells under non-dual connectivity (DC).

During SFTD measurement, the terminal device needs to receive a signal from another cell under test other than the PCell to obtain the timing information of the cell. Under DC, since the terminal equipment can support simultaneous work on PCell and PSCell and know the timing information of PCell and PSCell at any time, SFTD measurement will not be difficult; SFTD measurement between LTE PCell and NR neighboring cell under non-DC, If the radio frequency path of the terminal device does not support receiving and sending signals on the PCell while receiving signals on the NR neighboring cell, there are certain difficulties in SFTD measurement. The current protocol supports the following two methods: SFTD measurement that requires gap and connected discontinuous reception ( connected discontinuous reception, CDRX) SFTD measurement in the inactive period.

In the measurement window, the UE first detects the synchronization signals of other cells, uses the synchronization signals of other cells to synchronize with other cells, and then performs related measurements on the reference signals sent by other cells to complete the measurement of other cells. Interruption of the receiving and sending of data in the original service area within the measurement window will have a greater impact on throughput.

At present, LTE terminal devices can support carrier aggregation (CA) combinations of many different frequency bands, have multiple receiving channels, and have the ability to directly measure different frequencies/systems without configuring measurement windows. In this way, the data transmission of the original serving cell is not interrupted, and the service of the original serving cell of the terminal device is not affected.

However, there are many combinations of frequency bands and CAs supported by LTE, and there are also many different frequency/different system frequency bands that need to be measured. Based on cost considerations, terminal equipment usually can only support a limited number of frequency band combinations, and cannot support all frequency band combinations that require measurement window measurement. Frequency/different system.

The current agreement stipulates that in LTE, terminal equipment can report which measurement frequency band combinations require a measurement window and which measurement frequency band combinations do not require a measurement window through the information element in the capability message. Specifically, the band of the serving cell is indicated by a band list supported by LTE (bandListEUTRA) (supported single band) or a band combination list supported by LTE bandCombinationListEUTRA (supported band combination). The target measurement inter-frequency band is indicated by the inter-frequency band list (interFreqBandList), and the target measurement inter-system band is indicated by the interRAT-BandList. Use 1 bit False or True to indicate the combination of the serving cell frequency band and CA to measure whether a measurement window is required for the inter-frequency frequency band. True means it is required, False means it is not required, as shown in the table shown in Figure 6, the network equipment determines the measurement according to the capability reported by the terminal equipment Whether to configure the measurement window at the time.

The terminal equipment has a large number of bits in reporting a capability message, and the amount of information is large, making it difficult to report and easy to fail. Assuming that N is the number of frequency bands supported by the terminal, M is the number of different system frequency bands supported, and L is the number of LTE CA combinations supported, the number of information bits that need to be reported is (N+L)*(N+M). For example, the UE can support 500 CA combinations, 20 inter-frequency band measurements, and 10 inter-system measurements. The number of bits of the message to be reported is 15,600 bits, which is a large amount of messages, which is prone to errors and difficult to report.

The current report capability message does not support 5G NR measurement without measurement window capability reporting. 5G NR supports more frequency bands, supports EN-DC or 5G NR and 4G wireless access network dual connectivity (NE-DC), NR CA and other more frequency band combinations. Need to measure NR different frequency, LTE different system, non-standalone networking (non-standalone, NSA) also need to measure 23G different system, need to measure more different frequencies, different systems, UE is more difficult to support all frequency band combinations without configuration Measurement window measurement of different frequency and different systems requires the ability to configure measurement windows similar to LTE sub-band reporting. 5G NR allocation measurement window measurement of different frequencies and different systems will also have a greater impact on the throughput of LTE and NR under NSA/SA. NR also needs to report whether each measurement frequency band combination requires a measurement window for measurement.

Among them, among the EN_DC combinations reported by network equipment, some of them have strong CA capabilities and strong multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) capabilities. Such a combination should be preferentially selected for secondary cell group (SCG) addition, as shown in Figure 7. Otherwise, when the network device fails to add the SCG, it needs to be forced to back off the CA capability and MIMO capability.

The following describes how to implement relaxed measurement in conjunction with specific embodiments to save the power consumption of the terminal device.

It should be understood that the measurement referred to in this application includes at least one of intra-frequency serving cell measurement, inter-frequency serving cell measurement, intra-frequency neighboring cell measurement, or inter-frequency neighboring cell measurement.

Embodiment 1: The embodiment of the present application provides a measurement configuration method, which is used to implement relaxed measurement and save power consumption of terminal equipment. As shown in Figure 8, the method includes:

Step 800: The network device determines that the terminal device uses the first measurement method to perform measurement.

In a possible design, the network device determines that the terminal device meets the following first-type indicators, and the network device determines that the terminal device uses the first measurement method to perform measurement:

The first type of indicators includes that the terminal equipment is located in the central area of the cell, the moving speed of the terminal equipment is less than the first preset speed, the transmission priority of the terminal equipment is lower than the first preset transmission priority, and the terminal equipment measures the frequencies included in the high-frequency band. Point and terminal equipment measure at least one of inter-frequency service cells, terminal equipment measure same-frequency neighboring cells, and terminal equipment measure different-frequency neighboring cells.

In a possible design, the network device determines that the terminal device meets the following second-type indicators, and the network device determines that the terminal device uses the second measurement method to perform measurement;

The second type of indicators includes that the terminal equipment is located at the edge of the cell, the moving speed of the terminal equipment is greater than the second preset speed, the transmission priority of the terminal equipment is higher than the second preset transmission priority, and the terminal equipment measures the frequency points included in the low-frequency band. , The terminal equipment measures at least one of the co-frequency serving cells.

The transmission priority refers to the transmission priority of the resource designated by the RRC layer, where the resource includes at least one of the frequency of the serving cell, the frequency of the neighboring cell, the location of the time-frequency resource allocated to the UE, or the transmission data block. The network device prioritizes the transmission of resources with high transmission priority.

Exemplarily, the above-mentioned high frequency frequency band may refer to FR2, and the low frequency frequency band may refer to FR1.

It should be understood that the above-mentioned first-type indicators and second-type indicators are only examples, and are not intended to limit the application. The first preset speed, the second preset speed, the first preset transmission priority, and the second preset transmission priority may be defined by standards, or configured by the network device for the terminal device.

Exemplarily, the first measurement method may be a relaxed measurement method, and the second measurement method is a normal measurement method, wherein the terminal device uses the first relaxed measurement method to perform measurement than the terminal device uses the normal measurement method to perform measurement that can save more Power consumption. Or, the first measurement method is the first relaxation measurement method, and the second measurement method is the second relaxation measurement method, wherein the terminal device adopts the first relaxation measurement method to perform measurement than the terminal device adopts the second relaxation measurement method to perform measurement. More power consumption.

For example, a terminal device located in the central area of a cell uses the first measurement method to perform measurement, and a terminal device located in the edge area of the cell uses the second measurement method to perform measurement. For another example, a terminal device with a slower moving speed uses the first measurement method to perform measurement, and a terminal device with a faster moving speed uses the second measurement method to perform measurement. For another example, a terminal device with a lower transmission priority adopts the first measurement method to perform measurement, and a terminal device with a higher transmission priority adopts the second measurement method to perform measurement. For another example, the terminal device adopts the first measurement method when measuring the frequency points included in the high-frequency band, and the terminal device adopts the second measurement method when measuring the frequency points included in the low-frequency band. For another example, the terminal device uses the first measurement method when performing inter-frequency serving cell measurement, and/or same-frequency neighboring cell measurement, and/or inter-frequency neighboring cell measurement, and the terminal device uses the first measurement method when performing intra-frequency serving cell measurement. 2. Measurement method.

Step 810: The network device sends first information to the terminal device, the first information indicates a first measurement interval; the first measurement interval is a measurement interval configured by the network device for the first measurement mode, the first measurement interval is greater than the second measurement interval, and the first measurement interval is greater than the second measurement interval. The second measurement interval is a measurement interval configured by the network device for the second measurement mode. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives the first information.

Therefore, the network device configures the terminal device to perform measurement using the first measurement interval, which can extend the measurement interval. The measurement interval used by the terminal device that uses the first measurement method to perform measurement is greater than the measurement used by the terminal device that uses the second measurement method to perform measurement. The interval can save the power consumption of the terminal equipment.

In a possible design, the first information may be carried by RRC messages, downlink control information (DCI), or medium access control control elements (MAC CE).

Among them, the first measurement interval may include, but is not limited to, the following possible forms:

The first possible form: the first measurement interval is M times the second measurement interval, and M is a positive integer greater than 1.

In an example, if the terminal device does not support the measurement window-free measurement mode, the measurement window period corresponding to the first measurement mode is M times the measurement window period corresponding to the second measurement mode, and/or the SSB period corresponding to the first measurement mode It is M times the SSB period corresponding to the second measurement mode.

As shown in Fig. 9, the second measurement interval is 20 ms, the first measurement interval is 40 ms, and the first measurement interval is twice the second measurement interval. Specifically, the measurement window period corresponding to the first measurement method is twice the measurement window period corresponding to the second measurement method, and the SSB period corresponding to the first measurement method is twice the SSB period corresponding to the second measurement method; or, The measurement window period corresponding to the first measurement method is twice the measurement window period corresponding to the second measurement method, and the SSB period corresponding to the first measurement method is the same as the SSB period corresponding to the second measurement method; or, the first measurement method corresponds to The measurement window period of is the same as the measurement window period corresponding to the second measurement mode, and the SSB period corresponding to the first measurement mode is twice the SSB period corresponding to the second measurement mode. Therefore, the measurement interval depends on the larger one of the measurement window period and the SSB period.

It should be understood that if the measurement window period corresponding to the first measurement mode is different from the SSB period corresponding to the first measurement mode, the measurement window period corresponding to the first measurement mode is an integer multiple of the SSB period corresponding to the first measurement mode. Or the SSB period corresponding to the first measurement mode is an integer multiple of the measurement window period corresponding to the first measurement mode. For example, the measurement window period corresponding to the first measurement mode is K1 times the measurement window period corresponding to the second measurement mode, and the SSB period corresponding to the first measurement mode is K2 times the SSB period corresponding to the second measurement mode, where K1 is not Equal to K2, K1=K3*K2, K1, K2, and K3 are positive integers.

Further, if the measurement window period corresponding to the first measurement method is greater than the SSB period corresponding to the first measurement method, the network device sends second information to the terminal device, and the second information indicates the invalid SSB in the measurement window period corresponding to the first measurement method. ; If the measurement window period corresponding to the first measurement mode is less than the SSB period corresponding to the first measurement mode, the network device sends second information to the terminal device, and the second information indicates an invalid measurement window in the SSB period corresponding to the first measurement mode.

For example, if the measurement window period corresponding to the first measurement method is greater than the SSB period corresponding to the first measurement method, the measurement window period corresponding to the first measurement method is 40ms, and the SSB period corresponding to the first measurement method is 20ms, then the network device reports to the terminal device The second information is sent, and the second information indicates the invalid SSB in the measurement window period corresponding to the first measurement mode, that is, there is an invalid SSB every other SSB.

Through the above design, when the measurement window period corresponding to the first measurement mode is different from the SSB period corresponding to the first measurement mode, invalid measurement can be avoided.

In another example, if the terminal device supports a measurement window-free measurement mode and/or the terminal device is not configured with a measurement window, the SSB period corresponding to the first measurement mode is M times the SSB period corresponding to the second measurement mode.

As shown in FIG. 10, the SSB period corresponding to the first measurement mode is 20 m, and the SSB period corresponding to the first measurement mode is twice the SSB period corresponding to the second measurement mode, that is, 40 ms.

For example, if the terminal device supports the measurement mode without measurement window, the measurement interval is the SSB period, and the network device can save the power consumption of the terminal device by extending the SSB period.

For another example, if the terminal device is in an idle or deactivated state, the network device may not configure a measurement window for the terminal device. At this time, the measurement interval is the SSB period. The network device can save the power consumption of the terminal device by extending the SSB period.

With the above design, for terminal devices that do not support the measurement mode without measurement window, the measurement interval can be extended by extending the measurement window and/or the SSB period.

The second possible design: the measurement window period corresponding to the first measurement mode is the maximum measurement window period, and/or the SSB period corresponding to the first measurement mode is the maximum SSB period.

The maximum period of the SSB supported by the current standard is 160ms, and the maximum period of the measurement window is 40ms. When the terminal device adopts the first measurement method, the terminal device can directly adjust the two to the value of the maximum period, as shown in Figure 11. At this time, the network device sends second information to the terminal device. The second information indicates the invalid measurement window in the SSB period corresponding to the first measurement mode, that is, there is one valid SSB every three invalid SSBs.

With the above design, for terminal devices that support a measurement window-free measurement mode or are not configured with a measurement window, the measurement interval can be extended by extending the SSB period.

The third possible design: the network device can configure the value of the first measurement interval so that the first measurement interval is greater than the second measurement interval. For example, configure the measurement window or SSB period to 320ms, 640ms, and so on.

Step 820: The terminal device performs measurement based on the first information.

In addition, in a possible design, the network device sends third information to the terminal device. The third information instructs the terminal device to suspend measurement. When the network device determines that the terminal device needs to resume measurement, the network device sends the fourth information to the terminal device. The fourth information indicates that the terminal device resumes measurement. With the above design, the network device can control the timing of the terminal device to perform the measurement, and when it is determined that the terminal device does not need to perform the measurement, the third information is sent, so as to save the power consumption of the terminal device.

In another possible design, the network device sends fifth information to the terminal device, the fifth information indicates the first duration, and the first duration is used to instruct the terminal device to suspend measurement and resume measurement after the first duration. With the above design, the network device can configure the terminal device not to perform measurement during the timer timing through a timer, so as to save the power consumption of the terminal device.

Further, if the terminal device is in an idle state or an inactive state, the fifth information may be carried by a paging message.

Embodiment 2: The embodiment of the present application provides a measurement configuration method, which is used to implement relaxed measurement and save power consumption of the terminal device. As shown in Figure 12, the method includes:

Step 1200: The network device sends third information to the terminal device, and the third information instructs the terminal device to suspend measurement.

Step 1210: The network device sends fourth information to the terminal device, and the fourth information instructs the terminal device to resume measurement.

Using the above method, the network device can control the timing of the terminal device to perform the measurement, and when it is determined that the terminal device does not need to perform the measurement, the third information is sent, so as to save the power consumption of the terminal device.

Embodiment 3: The embodiment of the present application provides a measurement configuration method, which is used to implement relaxed measurement and achieve the effect of saving power consumption of the terminal device. As shown in Figure 13, the method includes:

Step 1300: The network device determines that the terminal device uses the first measurement mode to perform measurement.

For details, please refer to the content of step 800, and the repetition will not be repeated.

Step 1310: The network device sends fifth information to the terminal device, where the fifth information indicates a first duration, and the first duration is used to instruct the terminal device to suspend measurement and resume measurement after the first duration.

In a possible design, if the terminal device is in an idle state or an inactive state, the fifth information is carried by the paging message.

If the terminal device is in a connected state, the fifth information is carried by an RRC configuration message, where the RRC configuration message may be a discontinuous reception (DRX) command, adding SCG, adding secondary carrier component (SCC), and so on.

For example, as shown in Figure 14, before the terminal device receives the fifth information from the network device, the measurement interval is 20ms. After the terminal device receives the fifth information, the terminal device starts the timer and does not execute during the timer timing. Measurement, when the timer reaches the first duration, the terminal device resumes the measurement, and the measurement interval is 20ms.

With the above design, the network device can configure the terminal device not to perform measurement during the timer period through a timer, so as to save the power consumption of the terminal device.

It should be understood that the modified signaling mainly involved in this application includes: measurement configuration (MeasConfig) message, measurement report (MeasurementReport), different system report configuration (ReportConfigInterRAT) message, paging (Paging) message, etc.
