Description

Measurement processing method, device, storage medium, processor and electronic device

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a measurement processing method, device, storage medium, processor and electronic device.

Background technique

Currently, the 3rd ^{Generation Partnership Project (3 rd} Generation Partnership Project, referred to as 3GPP) is studying non-terrestrial communication network (Non Terrestrial Network, referred to as NTN) technology. NTN usually uses satellite communication to provide communication services to ground users. Compared with ground cellular network communication, satellite communication has many unique advantages. First of all, satellite communication will not be restricted by the user's geographic area. For example, common terrestrial communications cannot cover areas where communication equipment cannot be installed, such as oceans, mountains, and deserts, or areas where communication coverage cannot be achieved due to sparse population. However, for satellite communication, since a satellite can cover a large ground and the satellite can orbit the earth, theoretically every corner of the earth can be covered by satellite communication. Secondly, satellite communication has greater social value. Satellite communications can be covered at a lower cost in remote mountainous areas, poor and backward countries or regions, so that people in these areas can enjoy advanced voice communication and mobile Internet technology, which is conducive to reducing the gap between poor and backward areas and developed areas. The digital divide between the two, and then promote the overall development of these poor and backward areas. Again, although satellite communication is far away, it does not significantly increase communication costs. Finally, the stability of satellite communication is high, and it is not restricted by natural disasters.

Communication satellites can be divided into Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, Medium-Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites, and Geostationary Earth Orbit (Geostationary Earth Orbit) satellites according to different orbital heights. GEO satellites, High Elliptical Orbit (HEO) satellites, etc. The main research at this stage is LEO satellite and GEO satellite.

The altitude range of LEO satellites is usually 500km to 1500km, and the corresponding orbital period is about 1.5 hours to 2 hours. The signal propagation delay of single-hop communication between users is usually less than 20ms. The maximum satellite viewing time is 20 minutes. The characteristics of LEO satellites are: short signal propagation distance, low link loss, and low requirements on the transmission power of user terminals.

The orbital height of the GEO satellite is 35786km, and the period of rotation around the earth is 24 hours. The signal propagation delay of single-hop communication between users is usually 250ms.

In order to ensure satellite coverage and increase the system capacity of the entire satellite communication system, satellites use multiple beams to cover the ground. A satellite can form dozens or even hundreds of beams to cover the ground. A satellite beam can cover a ground area with a diameter of tens to hundreds of kilometers.

Measurement usually refers to mobility measurement in the connected state. After the network side device delivers the measurement configuration information to the User Equipment (UE), the UE can detect the signal quality status of the neighboring cell according to the measurement object and report configuration indicated in the measurement configuration information, and report the measurement The information is fed back to the network side device so that the network side device can switch or improve the neighbor relationship list.

In the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, the network side device sends measurement configuration information to the connected UE through Radio Resource Control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) signaling. The UE performs measurement according to the content contained in the measurement configuration information, and then reports the measurement result to the network side device.

When the network-side device uses RRC connection reconfiguration for measurement configuration, the measurement configuration information may generally include but is not limited to the following:

(1) Measurement Object

With frequency point as the basic unit, each configured measurement object is a separate frequency point and has a separate measurement object identification (ID). For Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) co-frequency and inter-frequency measurement, the measurement object is a single E-UTRA carrier frequency. For the cell related to the carrier frequency, E-UTRA may configure a cell offset list and a blacklist cell list. No operation will be performed on the blacklisted cells in the measurement evaluation and measurement report.

(2) Measurement report configuration (measurement report config)

The measurement report configuration can be divided into event trigger report and periodic trigger report according to the type. Each reported configuration has a separate identification (ID). The event-triggered reporting configuration includes event types and thresholds, as well as the duration (Time to Trigger) that meets the trigger conditions. The reporting configuration of the periodic trigger type includes the reporting period and the purpose of the periodic trigger.

The measurement of the connection state provided in the related technology is usually completed based on the S-measure configured by the network side device. If the channel quality of the serving cell meets the configured threshold, the UE starts to perform measurement. The path loss from the center of the TN cell to the edge of the cell differs by 20+dB, while the pathloss from the center of the NTN cell to the edge of the cell differs by about 3dB. Since the measurement error can reach up to 4.5dB, it will cause the UE to continue to perform useless measurements.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, no effective solutions have yet been proposed.

Optionally, the above-mentioned time information includes RTT, and the above-mentioned preset time threshold includes: a first time threshold; in step S24, based on the measurement configuration information, when it is determined that the trigger condition is satisfied, performing the measurement operation may include the following execution steps:

Step S2404, when it is determined that the RTT is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, perform a measurement operation.

When the UE triggers measurement based on RTT, the UE receives the measurement configuration information sent by the network side device. The measurement configuration information carries a trigger condition for the UE to start measurement. The trigger condition may be the RTT threshold. In other words, when the RTT of the UE meets the first time threshold, the UE starts to perform measurement based on the measurement configuration information of the network.

The RTT can be determined by the UE based on the positioning capability. Specifically, for a UE with positioning capability, the UE can determine the propagation delay between the UE and the base station through its own location information and the ephemeris information of the network side device to determine the RTT duration. When the RTT of the UE exceeds the first time threshold, the UE starts to measure.

Step S2406, when it is determined that the TA duration is greater than or equal to the second time threshold, perform a measurement operation.

The measurement configuration information contains the trigger condition for the UE to start measurement. The trigger condition may be the threshold of the TA. In other words, when the TA of the UE meets the second time threshold, the UE starts measurement based on the measurement configuration information of the network.

TA may be determined by the UE based on the positioning capability. Specifically, for a UE with positioning capability, the UE can determine the propagation delay between the UE and the base station through its own location information and the ephemeris information of the network side device to determine the duration. When the TA of the UE exceeds the second time threshold, the UE starts to measure.

Optionally, the preset threshold value includes: a power threshold value and a quality threshold value. In step S24, based on the measurement configuration information, when it is determined that the trigger condition is satisfied, performing the measurement operation may include the following execution steps:

Step S2408, when it is determined that the time information is greater than or equal to the time threshold, the first measurement value is greater than or equal to the power threshold, and/or the second measurement value is greater than or equal to the quality threshold, the measurement operation is performed when it is determined that the time information is greater than or equal to the time threshold.

In an optional embodiment, the measurement configuration information sent by the network-side device may also include: Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP) and/or Reference Signal Receiving Quality (Reference Signal Receiving Quality, abbreviated as RSRQ) threshold, the UE will start measurement only when the RSRP and/or RSRQ and RTT meet the trigger conditions at the same time. Or, the UE will start the measurement only when the RSRP/RSRQ and TA meet the trigger conditions at the same time.

Step S2409, acquiring time information configured by the network side device;

Step S2410, when it is determined that the time information is greater than or equal to the preset time threshold, perform a measurement operation.

For a UE lacking positioning capability, the UE may determine the time information based on the network configuration of the network side device. A preset time threshold can be set in the trigger condition. By comparing the time information with the preset time threshold set in the trigger condition, the measurement operation is performed when it is determined that the time information is greater than or equal to the preset time threshold.

In an optional embodiment, the manner in which the UE obtains the time information configured by the network side device may include one of the following:

Method 1: Obtain the RTT configured by the network-side device based on the timer configured in the network-side device;

For UEs that lack positioning capabilities, the RTT can be determined based on the length of time recorded by the RTT timer (timer) configured by the network side device. The UE may determine the RTT duration based on the RTT timer configured by the network side device. When the RTT of the UE exceeds the first time threshold, the UE starts to measure.

Manner 2: Obtain the TA duration configured by the network-side device based on the TA instruction configured in the network-side device.

For UEs that lack positioning capabilities, TA can be determined by a timing advance command (TA COMMAND) configured based on the network side device. The UE may determine the TA duration based on the TA command configured by the network side device. When the TA of the UE exceeds the second time threshold, the UE starts to measure.

Similar to UEs with positioning capabilities, for UEs lacking positioning capabilities, the measurement configuration information sent by the network side device may also include: RSRP and/or RSRQ thresholds, so that the UE can perform RSRP and/or RSRQ and RTT at the same time. The measurement will start only when the trigger conditions are met. Or, the UE will start the measurement only when the RSRP/RSRQ and TA meet the trigger conditions at the same time. That is, when it is determined that the time information is greater than or equal to the preset time threshold, the first measurement value is greater than or equal to the power threshold value, and/or the second measurement value is greater than or equal to the quality threshold value, the measurement operation is performed.

Step S2413, based on the ephemeris information of the network side device, determine the ground deployment mode adopted by the network side device;

Step S2414: Perform a measurement operation when it is determined by the ground deployment mode and the first location information of the user equipment that the cell information meets the preset handover condition.

The ephemeris information of the network side equipment can be used to determine the ground deployment method used by the network side equipment (which may include but is not limited to: ground deployment methods in which multiple beams share the same cell identity, and ground deployment in which each beam uses a cell identity separately Mode), and then determine whether the trigger condition is satisfied by the ground deployment mode and the first location information of the user equipment, so that when it is determined that the trigger condition is satisfied, the measurement operation is performed.

Optionally, the cell information includes: beam coverage, and the preset handover condition includes: the beam coverage is switched. In step S24, based on the measurement configuration information, when it is determined that the trigger condition is satisfied, performing the measurement operation may include the following execution steps:

Step S2415: Based on the ephemeris information, it is determined that the network side equipment adopts a ground deployment mode in which multiple beams share the same cell identity;

Step S2416, when it is determined by the ground deployment mode and the first location information that the user equipment switches from the coverage of the first beam to the coverage of the second beam, perform a measurement operation.

In the process in which the UE triggers the measurement based on the beam index, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of an NTN deployment method according to one of the optional embodiments of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, multiple beams share a physical cell identity ( Physical Cell Identifier (referred to as PCI for short).

In this case, if the UE falls into the coverage of other beams, the UE starts to perform measurement. Specifically, first, the UE determines the ground deployment of the satellite based on the ephemeris information of the satellite, and then the UE can learn that the current UE is located in the coverage area of a specific beam based on the location information. If the UE falls into the coverage of other beams outside the specific beam, the UE starts to perform measurement.

Optionally, the cell information includes: cell coverage, and the preset handover condition includes: a handover occurs in the cell coverage. In step S24, based on the measurement configuration information, when it is determined that the trigger condition is met, performing the measurement operation may include the following steps:

Step S2417: Based on the ephemeris information, it is determined that the network side equipment adopts a ground deployment mode in which each beam uses a cell identifier separately;

Step S2418: Perform a measurement operation when it is determined by the ground deployment mode and the first location information that the user equipment is switched from the coverage of the first cell to the coverage of the second cell.

In the process in which the UE triggers the measurement based on the cell identity, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of another NTN deployment method according to one of the optional embodiments of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, each beam uses a single PCI.

In this case, if the UE falls into the coverage of other cells, the UE starts to perform measurement. Specifically, first, the UE determines the ground deployment of the satellite based on the ephemeris information of the satellite, and then the UE can learn that the current UE is located in the coverage area of a specific cell based on the location information. If the UE falls into the coverage of other cells outside the specific cell, the UE starts to perform measurement.

Step S2419, based on the ephemeris information of the network side device, determine the ground deployment mode adopted by the network side device, and obtain the first measurement value of the reference signal reception power and/or the second measurement value of the reference signal reception quality;

Step S2420: Perform a measurement operation when it is determined by the ground deployment mode and the first location information that the user equipment has an area switch, and the first measurement value is greater than or equal to the power threshold and/or the second measurement value is greater than or equal to the quality threshold Wherein, the area switching includes one of the following: the user equipment switches from the coverage area of the first beam to the coverage area of the second beam, and the user equipment switches from the coverage area of the first cell to the coverage area of the second cell.

Whether it is a ground deployment method in which multiple beams share the same cell identity, or a ground deployment method in which each beam uses a single cell identity, the UE can perform measurement judgments in combination with RSRP and/or RSRQ judgment conditions. In an optional embodiment, the UE may perform measurement judgment in combination with beam index and RSRP and/or RSRQ judgment conditions. In an optional embodiment, the UE may perform measurement judgment in combination with PCI and RSRP and/or RSRQ judgment conditions.

Step S2421: Determine the current distance between the first location information and the second location information based on the first location information of the user equipment and the second location information specified by the network side device;

Step S2422, when it is determined that the current distance is greater than or equal to the preset distance threshold, perform a measurement operation.

In the process in which the UE triggers the measurement based on the distance from the specific ground reference point (determined by the second location information specified by the network side device), the UE receives the measurement configuration information sent by the network side device. The measurement configuration information includes a trigger condition for the UE to start measurement. The trigger condition may be the threshold of the distance between the UE and the specific ground reference point. In other words, when the distance between the UE and the specific ground reference point meets the preset threshold, the UE starts measurement based on the measurement configuration information of the network.

The distance between the UE and a specific ground reference point may be determined by the UE based on the positioning capability. Specifically, for a UE with positioning capability, the UE can determine the distance between the UE and the specific ground reference point through its own position and the specific ground reference point indicated by the network side device. When the distance between the UE and a specific ground reference point exceeds a preset threshold, the UE starts to perform measurement.

Step S2423: Determine the current distance between the first location information and the second location information based on the first location information of the user equipment and the second location information specified by the network side device, and obtain the first measured value of the received power of the reference signal and/ Or the second measured value of the received quality of the reference signal;

Step S2424, when it is determined that the current distance is greater than or equal to the preset distance threshold, the first measurement value is greater than or equal to the power threshold value, and/or the second measurement value is greater than or equal to the quality threshold value, perform a measurement operation.

In an optional embodiment, the measurement configuration information sent by the network-side device may also include: RSRP and/or RSRQ thresholds, and the UE's RSRP and/or RSRQ and the distance between the UE and a specific ground reference point satisfy the trigger at the same time The measurement will only start under conditions.
