为了解决上述技术问题,本申请实施例提供了以下解决方案:
网络设备向终端设备发送多套测量配置信息。终端设备从来自网络设备的多套测量配置信息中选择一套用于移动性测量。终端设备可以参考终端设备之前存储的由网络设备发送的星历信息,选择一套测量配置信息,该星历信息包括卫星飞行轨道等信息。

下面结合附图,对本申请实施例的技术方案进行详细说明。
图3为本申请实施例提供的一种移动性测量方法的流程图。如图3所示,该移动性测量的方法可以包括:S301、S302。
S301、网络设备向终端设备发送消息。
在本申请实施例中,网络设备发送的消息包括多套测量配置信息。可选地,该多套测量配置信息可以是显式地多套。即,多套不同测量配置信息,如测量配置信息1,测量配置信息2,测量配置信息3。可选地,该多套测量配置信息可以是隐式地多套。即,网络设备发送一套测量配置信息,该测量配置信息包含测量配置参数的参考值,或测量配置参数的参考值和该测量配置参数的变化规律。此种情况可以降低网络设备的资源。
在本申请实施例中,每套测量配置信息包括以下至少一种:位置信息和时间信息。
在本申请实施例中,位置信息用于与接收网络设备测量配置信息进行移动性测量的终端设备的当前位置比较。该位置信息可以用绝对位置如全球定位系统(Global Positioning System,GPS)信息,经纬度,高度等形式表示,此种情况网络设备发送的位置信息为绝对位置。如位置信息为北纬5°,东经3°。该位置信息也可以用相对位置表示,如与某个参考点的相对位置等。此种情况网络设备发送的位置信息包含参考点的绝对位置和相对于参考点的位置。如某位置信息为小区中心正北方向200m,该小区中心为北纬5°,东经3°。时间信息指示任意一个终端设备的时间信息,可以用于与接收网络设备测量配置信息进行移动性测量的终端设备时间位置比较。该时间信息可以用绝对时间如世界通用时间,系统时钟等形式表示,此种情况网络设备发送的位置信息为绝对时间。如时间信息为北京时间07:00。也可以用相对时间表示如终端设备接收到网络设备消息后一段时间。此种情况网络设备发送的时间信息包含参考时间的绝对时间和与参考时间的时间间隔。如某时间信息为参考时间5min后,该参考时间北京时间7:00。
在本申请实施例中,不同套的测量配置信息为以下一种情况:位置信息不同;时间信息不同;位置和时间信息都不同。如,测量配置信息1,位置信息1,时间信息1;测量配置信息2,位置信息1,时间信息2;测量配置信息3,位置信息2,时间信息1;测量配置信息4,位置信息2,时间信息2;测量配置信息5,位置信息1;测量配置信息6,位置信息2;测量配置信息7,时间信息1;测量配置8,时间信息2。
在本申请实施例中每套测量配置信息还可以包括频率信息。可以理解地,由于测量 配置信息是多套,频率信息是多套。具体地,每套频率信息指示频率和该频率对应的优先级。在每套频率信息中,频率的数目不受限制,频率的种类不受限如可以是地面网络(Terrestrial Network,TN)频率,非地面网络(Non-Terrestrial Network,NTN)频率等。
在本申请实施例中,频率可以指示频段或频段的中心频率。频段指的是一定的频率范围。示例性地,频段为890.1MHz-890.3MHz,那么它的中心频率为890.2MHz。中心频率可以用编号表示,如890.2MHz对应编号可以是1。网络设备给终端设备发送的频率信息中的频率可以为890.1MHz-890.3MHz、890.2MHz或1。
在本申请实施例中,优先级可以包含以下两个信元:
小区重选优先级:可以用整数0到7表示,其中0可以表示最低优先级。
小区重选子优先级:在小区重选优先级的值上加一个分值,可以是0.2,0.4,0.6,0.8四个选项。例如,频率1小区重选优先级为6,小区重选子优先级为0.2。那么频率1的优先级为6.2。
在本申请实施例中涉及到的优先级,可以包含以上两个信元。为了方便撰写,以下把涉及这两个信元统称为优先级。
在本申请实施例中,网络设备可能根据网络部署和用户的繁忙程度等情况设置优先级的具体值。
在本申请实施例中,在一套频率信息里一个频率可以无对应优先级。如一套频率信息,频率A。在一套频率信息里一个频率可以对应一个优先级。如一套频率信息,频率A,频率A对应的优先级为7;频率B,频率B对应的优先级为5。在一套频率信息里一个优先级可以对应多个频率。如一套频率信息,频率A,频率A对应的优先级为6;频率B,频率B对应的优先级为6。
在本申请实施例中,多套频率信息的同一频率的优先级可以不同。如频率信息1,频率A,频率A对应优先级5,频率B,频率B对应优先级3;频率信息2,频率A,频率A对应优先级6,频率B,频率B对应优先级3,频率C,频率C对应优先级2。多套频率信息中的不同频率对应的优先级可以相同。例如,频率信息1,频率A,频率A对应优先级5;频率信息2,频率B,频率B对应优先级5。
在本申请实施里中,上述频率信息可以与上述的位置信息相关联。即,不同位置信息,同一频率对应的优先级可以不同。如位置信息1,频率A,频率A对应的优先级为5,频率B,频率B对应的优先级为3;位置信息2,频率A,频率A对应的优先级为7,频率B,频率B对应的优先级为5。不同的位置信息,同一频率对应的优先级可以相同。如位置信息1,频率A,频率A对应的优先级为5,频率B,频率B对应的优先级为3,频率C,频率C对应的优先级为2;位置信息2,频率A,频率A对应的优先级为7,频率B,频率B对应的优先级为3。多套与位置信息相关联的频率信息,为终端设备提供了基于当前位置选择一套频率信息的可能。
在本申请实施例中,上述频率信息可以与上述的时间信息相关联。即,不同时间信息,同一频率对应的优先级可以不同。如时间信息1,频率A,频率A对应的优先级为5,频率B,频率B对应的优先级为3,频率C,频率C对应的优先级为2;时间信息2,频率A,频率A对应的优先级为7,频率B,频率B对应的优先级为5。不同的时间信息, 同一频率对应的优先级可以相同。如时间信息1,频率A,频率A对应的优先级为5,频率B,频率B对应的优先级为3;时间信息2,频率A,频率A对应的优先级为7,频率B,频率B对应的优先级为3。多套与时间信息相关联的频率信息,为终端设备提供了基于当前时间选择一套频率信息的可能。
具体地,上述多套频率信息包含一套通用的频率信息。当频率信息相关联的位置信息无法匹配终端设备的当前位置;或,频率信息相关联的时间信息无法匹配所述终端设备的当前时间时,所述通用频率信息用于所述终端设备的移动性测量。
在本申请实施例中,上述每套测量配置信息还可以包括偏移量。可以理解地,由于测量配置信息为多套,偏移量为多套。具体地,用于对终端设备测量得到的结果进行修正,如该偏移量用于对终端设备测量得到的接收信号电平值修正。偏移量包含小区偏移量,频率偏移量,NTN偏移量,不同种类的偏移量可以同时对同一个测量结果进行修正。偏移量可以让终端设备选择适合的小区,获得好的服务质量。若终端设备在RRC连接态下,终端设备还可以向网络设备上报该修正的测量结果。
在本申请实施例中,上述多套偏移量可以显式的多套。即,网络设备发送多套偏移量如偏移量1,偏移量2,偏移量3。也可以是隐式的多套。即,网络设备发送一套参考偏移量,或一套参考偏移量与偏移量的变化规律。例如,网络设备发送小区中心位置偏移量。例如,网络设备发送一小区中心位置的偏移量1和偏移量与距离成正比关系。该距离为终端设备的当前位置与小区中心位置的距离,如欧式距离。网络设备发送隐式多套偏移量,因此节约了网络设备资源。
在本申请实施例中,上述的偏移量与上述位置信息相关联。即,不同位置信息,偏移量可以不同。如位置信息1,偏移量1;位置信息2,偏移量2。不同的位置信息,偏移量可以相同。如位置信息1,偏移量1;位置信息2,偏移量1。多套与位置信息相关联的偏移量,使得终端设备能基于当前位置选择一套合适的偏移量,用于对测量结果的修正。
在本申请实施例中,上述的偏移量与上述时间信息相关联。即,不同时间信息,偏移量可以不同。如时间信息1,偏移量1;时间信息2,偏移量2。不同的时间信息,偏移量可以相同。如时间信息1,偏移量1;时间信息2,偏移量1。多套与时间信息相关联的偏移量,使得终端设备能基于当前时间选择一套合适的偏移量,用于对测量结果的修正。
在本申请实施例中,上述多套偏移量包含一套通用偏移量。当所述位置信息无法匹配所述终端设备的当前位置或所述时间信息无法匹配所述终端设备的当前时间时,所述通用测量配置信息用于所述终端设备的移动性测量。
在本申请实施例中,上述的多套测量配置信息包含一套通用测量配置信息。该通用测量配置信息包含上述的通用频率信息和通用偏移量。具体地,通用测量配置信息应用场景与上述的通用频率信息或通用偏移量应用场景相同。
在本申请实施里中,测量配置信息可以包含在以下一种消息里面。可选地,网络设备发送的系统消息或RRC释放消息包含上述测量配置信息,用于处于RRC空闲态或者去RRC激活态的终端设备接收。可选地,网络设备发送的RRC重配消息中包含上述测 量配置信息,用于处于RRC空闲态或者去RRC激活态的终端设备接收。

在本申请实施例中,每套测量配置信息还可以包括频率信息。可以理解地,由于测量配置信息为多套,频率信息为多套。终端设备可以根据当前位置和/或当前时间选择一套频率信息。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备根据当前位置从接收到来自网络设备的多套与位置信息相关的频率信息中选择一套频率信息进行移动性测量。具体地,终端设备选择的频率信息对应的位置信息与终端设备的当前位置匹配。具体地,匹配指的是端设备当前位置处于网络设备发送的位置信息的一定范围内。如上述位置信息为绝对位置,北纬5°,东经8°,终端设备的当前位置处于北纬3°至北纬10°,东经2°至东经12°范围内(可选的,可包含边界值;可选地,可不包含边界值),可以称该位置信息与该终端设备的当前位置匹配。如上述位置信息为相对位置,距离小区中心100m,终端设备的当前位置处于距离小区中心50m到150m内(可选地,可包含边界值;可选地,可不包含边界值),可以称该位置信息与该终端设备的当前位置匹配。可选地,上述的范围可包含在每套测量配置信息中,终端设备接收来自网络设备的测量配置信息得到该范围,这节约了终端设备资源。可选地,上述的范围可在终端设备侧预设,这节约了网络设备资源。
示例性地,如表一所示,终端设备的当前位置1存在TN频率覆盖。此种情况,终端设备选择这套频率信息,TN频率A的优先级为7,NTN频率B的优先级为2(以下的具体频率和优先级值只是举例说明。)。

在本申请实施例中,终端设备根据当前时间从接收到来自网络设备的多套与时间信息相关的频率信息选择一套频率信息进行移动性测量。具体地,终端设备选择的频率信息对应的时间信息与终端设备的当前时间匹配。具体地,匹配指的是端设备当前时间处于网络设备发送的时间信息的一定范围内。如时间信息为绝对时间北京时间05:00,终端设备的当前时间处于05:10至5:15范围内(可选地,包含边界值;可选地,不包含边界值),可以称该时间信息与该终端设备的当前时间匹配。如时间信息为相对时间网络设备发送消息时间1,终端设备的当前时间相对于时间1不超过5min(可选地,包含边界值;可选地,不包含边界值),可以称该时间信息与该终端设备的当前时间匹配。可选地,上述的匹配范围可包含在每套测量配置信息,终端设备接收来自网络设备的测量配置信息得到该范围。这节约了终端设备的资源。可选地,上述的匹配范围可在终端设备侧预设。这有利于节约网络设备的资源。

1)第二小区优先级高于第一小区:终端设备对第二小区测量;
2)第二小区与第一小区频率相同(同频):终端设备计算得到的第一小区信号电平值小于等于同频测量门限值或者系统消息无同频测量门限值,终端设备对第二小区测量。在本申请实施例中的门限值指的是网络设备发送的某个参数的阈值,如上述的同频测量门限值即是网络设备发送的同频测量的阈值。
3)第二小区的优先级与第一小区优先级相同或低于第一小区优先级:终端设备计算得到的第一小区信号电平值小于等于异频测量门限值或者系统消息无异频测量门限值,终端设备对第二小区测量。
具体地,终端设备进行移动性测量后,根据优先级按下述三种情况重选小区:
1)第二小区优先级高于第一小区:在重选时间内,终端设备计算得到的第二小区信号电平值大于第二小区高优先级重选门限值;
2)第二小区优先级低于第一小区:在重选时间内,终端设备计算得到的第一小区信号电平值小于第一小区低优先级重选门限值,且终端设备计算得到的第二小区信号电平值大于第二小区低优先级门限值;
3)第二小区和第一小区优先级相同或者频率相同:基于第一小区信号质量等级参数(Rs)与第二小区信号质量等级参数(Rn),第二小区信号质量等级参数大于第一小区信号质量等级参数。
具体地,第一小区信号质量等级参数(Rs)与第二小区信号质量等级参数(Rn)可以分别按如下公式计算:
R S=Q meas,s+Q hyst-Q offset
R n=Q meas,n-Q offset
其中,
Qmeas,s为小区重选时,终端设备测量得到的小区接收信号强度值;
Qhyst为迟滞值,用于防止乒乓重选;
Qoffset为上述偏移量,终端设备用其对移动性测量结果进行修正,如对测量得到的小区接收信号强度值修正。这使得终端设备重选到服务质量好的小区。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备接收来自网络设备的每套测量配置还包含偏移量。可以理解地,由于测量配置信息为多套,偏移量为多套。终端设备可以根据当前位置和/或当前时间选择一套偏移量信息。
在本申请实施例中,多套偏移量可以是显式的多套。即终端设备接收到多套偏移量如偏移量1,偏移量2,偏移量3。终端设备基于当前位置和/或当前时间选择一套偏移量,如偏移量1对测量结果进行修正。终端设备从接收到的多套偏移量中选择一套偏移量,节约了终端设备资源。多套偏移量也可以是隐式的多套。即终端设备接收到一个参考偏移量,或一个参考偏移量和偏移量的变化规律,终端设备基于参考偏移量和变化规律(可选地,变化规律由网络设备发送;可选地,变化规律终端设备预设)计算得到当前位置和/或当前时间的偏移量。如终端设备接收到一小区中心位置的偏移量1和偏移量与距离成正比关系,该距离为终端设备的当前位置与小区中心位置的距离,如欧式距离。终端设备基于当前位置计算得到偏移量,并采用该偏移量对测量结果进行修正。网络设备只需发送一套偏移量,因此节约了网络设备资源。
在本申请实施例中,偏移量与位置信息相关联。终端设备根据当前位置从接收到的多套与位置信息相关联的偏移量中选择一套偏移量进行移动性测量。终端设备选择的偏移量对应的位置信息与终端设备的当前位置匹配。具体地,匹配的含义参见上述频率信息相关部分,在此不再赘述。
示例性地,终端设备的当前位置1,终端设备选择偏移量1对测量的结果进行修正,偏移量1对应的位置信息匹配终端设备的当前位置1。终端设备的当前位置2,终端设备选择偏移量2对测量的结果进行修正,偏移量2对应的位置信息匹配终端设备的当前位置2。
在本申请实施例中,由于网络部署会与位置相关,终端设备基于当前位置选择一套偏移量,有利提高终端设备对测量结果的修正合理性,从而有利于终端选到服务好的小区。
在本申请实施例中,偏移量与时间信息相关联。终端设备根据当前时间从接收到的多套与时间信息相关的偏移量选择一套偏移量进行移动性测量。具体地,终端设备选择的偏移量对应的时间信息与终端设备的当前时间匹配。具体地,匹配的含义参见上述频率信息相关部分,在此不再赘述。
示例性地,终端设备的当前时间1,终端设备选择偏移量1对测量的结果进行修正,偏移量1对应的时间信息匹配终端设备的当前位置1。终端设备的当前时间2,终端设备选择偏移量2对测量的结果进行修正,偏移量2对应的时间信息匹配终端设备的当前位置2。
在本申请实施例中,由于网络部署会与时间相关,终端设备基于当前时间选择一套偏移量,有利提高终端设备对测量结果的修正合理性,从而有利于终端选到服务好的小区。
在本申请实施例中,偏移量也可以与位置信息和时间信息都相关联。即,终端设备可以根据当前位置和当前时间选择一套偏移量。具体地参考上述的实施例,在此不再赘述。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备还可以选择一套通用偏移量。在以下至少一种场景下,终端设备选择通用偏移量。上述多套偏移量对应的位置信息都不匹配终端设备的当前位置;或,上述多套偏移量对应的时间信息都不匹配终端设备的当前时间;或,终端设备丧失或不具备定位功能;或,终端设备丧失或不具备时钟功能。
通过本申请实施例,小区重选时,终端设备基于当前位置和/或时间选择一套测量结果对偏移量进行修正,提高终端设备对测量结果的修正合理性,有利于终端设备重选到服务好的小区。
在本申请实施例中,小区选择指的是终端设备开机或从盲区进入覆盖区,选择一个合适的小区驻留的过程。上述移动性测量的方法也适用于小区选择场景。
在本申请实施例中,处于RRC非激活态或RRC空闲态终端设备将接收来自网络设备的多套测量配置信息的一套测量配置信息用于移动性测量。这有利于提高移动性测量的有效性、使终端设备选到服务好的小区。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备可以处于RRC连接态。终端设备RRC连接态移动性 测量目的是将测量结果上报给网络设备,网络设备根据接收到来自终端设备的测量结果做出小区切换等决策。具体地,终端设备接收来自网络设备的RRC重置配置消息携带的测量配置信息。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备可以处于RRC连接态。此场景下,多套测量配置信息还包括报告配置。具体地,报告配置包括触发类型,触发量,上报条件,上报量,上报间隔,上报次数。报告配置的触发类型包含事件触发上报和周期上报。事件触发上报是指终端设备需要对测量结果进行按报告配置的上报条件进行评估,满足上报条件上报网络设备测量报告。而周期上报是指终端设备不需要对测量结果做评估,在终端设备接收到网络设备的报告配置后就按照报告配置指示的上报周期和次数,将测量结果周期上报给网络设备。触发量指示是参考信号接收功率触发,还是参考信号接收质量触发。上报量指示上报时是上报触发量,还是参考信号接收功率和参考信号接收质量都上报。上报次数指示终端设备需要上报的次数。
在本申请实施例中,处于RRC连接态的终端设备基于当前位置和/或时间选择一套测量配置参数用于移动性测量。具体地,可以参考上述终端设备处于于RRC去激活态或RRC空闲态的场景,在此不再赘述。终端设备记录测量结果,并根据接收到来自网络设备的报告配置将测量结果上报给网络设备。网络设备可以根据接收到的测量报告做出决策。
通过本实施例,网络设备发送多套测量配置信息,端设备根据当前位置和/或当前时间从网络设备发送的多套测量配置信息中选择一套用于移动性测量。终端设备能灵活地根据网络的部署情况,选取更合适的测量配置用于移动性。这与现有技术中一直采用一套测量配置相比优点显著。提高了移动性测量有效性、从而有利于终端设备获得更好的服务。在终端设备RRC空闲态,RRC去激活态,RRC连接态移动性测量中,都能获得增益。
