随着网络部署的升级，网络从当前的非独立组网(non-standalone，NSA)模式逐步进化到NSA和独立组网(standalone，SA)的混合组网模式，同一个新无线(new radio，NR)小区既可以在NSA模式下工作，也可以在SA模式下工作，如果用户设备(user equipment，UE)连接在长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)的网络设备，网络设备期望UE进入双连接状态或者切换到SA状态，就会向UE发送无线资源管理连接重配置消息，指示UE进行NR小区的连接态测量，UE检测到满足上报条件的NR小区时，向网络设备上报NR B1或B2事件的测量报告。网络设备根据测量报告指示UE执行切换至SA模式或NSA模式。
但是作为UE，无法确定网络设备配置测量的目的，从而无法在测量报告中做出偏向性选择。比如，当前UE发热严重、低电量，在当前网络环境可以执行SA切换的条件下，希望优先执行SA切换，而不是添加辅小区组(secondary cell group，SCG)。如果UE先上报了以添加SCG为目的的测量报告，此时网络设备配置UE添加SCG建立双连接后，UE再次上报以切换到SA为目的的测量报告，网络设备会再次指示UE执行SA切换。上述行为会造成信令的冗余，在UE具备直接执行SA切换的条件下，冗余执行了SCG的添加和释放，进一步加大了UE切换到SA模式的时延。
发明内容
本申请提供一种配置测量目的的方法、装置，能够使得终端设备感知网络设备配置测量的目的。
第一方面提供了一种配置测量目的的方法，该方法包括网络设备生成指示信息，该指示信息用于指示测量报告的目的，该目的为用于无线资源管理RRM。网络设备向终端设备发送该指示信息。
基于上述技术方案，可以使得终端设备通过接收到的指示信息感知网络设备配置测量的目的，从而根据终端设备本身的状态，例如功耗、电量和发热量等，自己决策选择上报哪种目的的测量报告，从而节省信令开销，以及避免网络延迟。
应理解，网络设备生成该指示信息前，网络设备需要确定该测量报告的目的。
可选地，网络设备可通过判断该终端设备的数据流量是否大于等于门限值，或是否存在小区的信号质量大于等于阈值，当满足上述条件中的至少一个时，网络设备可确定所述测量报告的目的。

具体实施方式
下面将结合附图，对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统，例如：LTE、LTE频分双工(frequency division duplex，FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(time division duplex，TDD)、通信系统、卫星通信系统、第五代(5th generation，5G)系统或NR，以及未来的通信系统。
图1是适用于本申请实施例的无线通信系统100的示意图。
如图1所示，该无线通信系统100可以包括至少一个网络设备，例如图1所示的网络 设备110。该无线通信系统100还可以包括至少一个终端设备，例如图1所示的终端设备120。终端设备与网络设备之间、终端设备与终端设备之间可以建立无线连接，进行无线通信，发送设备可以通过控制信息指示数据的调度信息，以便接收设备根据控制信息正确地接收数据。
本申请实施例中的终端设备也可以称为用户设备、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。本申请的实施例中的终端设备可以是手机、平板电脑、带无线收发功能的电脑、虚拟现实(virtual reality，VR)终端设备、增强现实(augmented reality，AR)终端设备、工业控制中的无线终端、无人驾驶中的无线终端、远程医疗)中的无线终端、智能电网中的无线终端、运输安全(中的无线终端、智慧城市中的无线终端、智慧家庭中的无线终端、蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(session initiation protocol，SIP)电话、无线本地环路(wireless local loop，WLL)站、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant，PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备，5G网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的公用陆地移动通信网络(public land mobile network，PLMN)中的终端设备等，应理解，本申请对于终端设备的具体形式不作限定。
本申请实施例中的网络设备可以是任意一种具有无线收发功能的设备。该设备包括但不限于：eNB、无线网络控制器(radio network controller，RNC)、节点B(node B，NB)、基站控制器(base station controller，BSC)、基站收发台(base transceiver station，BTS)、家庭基站(例如，home evolved nodeB，或home node B，HNB)、基带单元(base band unit，BBU)，无线保真(wireless fidelity，WIFI)系统中的接入点(access point，AP)、无线中继节点、无线回传节点、传输点(transmission point，TP)或者发送接收点(transmission and reception point，TRP)等，还可以为5G，如，NR，系统中的gNB，或，传输点(TRP或TP)，5G系统中的基站的一个或一组(包括多个天线面板)天线面板，或者，还可以为构成gNB或传输点的网络节点，如基带单元，或分布式单元(distributed unit，DU)等。
在一些部署中，gNB可以包括集中式单元(centralized unit，CU)和DU。gNB还可以包括有源天线单元(active antenna unit，简称AAU)。CU实现gNB的部分功能，DU实现gNB的部分功能。比如，CU负责处理非实时协议和服务，实现无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)，分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol，PDCP)层的功能。DU负责处理物理层协议和实时服务，实现无线链路控制(radio link control，RLC)层、媒体接入控制(media access control，MAC)层和物理层的功能。AAU实现部分物理层处理功能、射频处理及有源天线的相关功能。由于RRC层的信息最终会变成PHY层的信息，或者，由PHY层的信息转变而来，因而，在这种架构下，高层信令，如RRC层信令，也可以认为是由DU发送的，或者，由DU+AAU发送的。可以理解的是，网络设备可以为包括CU节点、DU节点、AAU节点中一项或多项的设备。此外，可以将CU划分为接入网(radio access network，RAN)中的网络设备，也可以将CU划分为核心网(core network，CN)中的网络设备，本申请对此不做限定。
NSA组网采用4G-5G双连接(E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity，EN-DC)方式，将5G NR控制面锚定于4G LTE，5G NR用于承载用户面的业务。控制面就是用来发送、调度资源 所需信令的通道，用户面就是传输用户数据的通道。在NSA组网下，5G基站依附现有4G核心网。
NSA组网有多种模式，实际布网中最广泛使用的是option3X模式，其示意图如图2所示。LTE基站eNB作为MN，NR基站gNB作为SN。LTE eNB与LTE系统的演进型分组核心网(evolved packet core，EPC)之间存在S1接口，至少有控制面连接(S1-Control,S1-C)，还可以有用户面连接(S1-userplan,S1-U)。NR gNB和EPC之间存在S1-U接口，即只可以有用户面连接。
SA组网示意图如图3所示，gNB直接和5G核心网(next generation core，NGC)通过S1-C和S1-U连接，不需要依附于EPC，在LTE上驻留的UE，如果想要使用5G服务，可以通过进入SA组网模式，也可以进入NSA组网模式。
由于4G和5G的双连接特性，NSA组网相较于独立SA组网而言，更容易暴露出兼容性的问题，导致原本可以正常使用的LTE小区在建立EN-DC后，无法正常提供业务。此外，NSA较SA而言，NSA功耗更高，不利于对功耗、待机时长、发热要求敏感的用户设备。比如：UE在发热严重、低电量等情况下，不适合进入EN-DC状态。
而网络设备期望UE进入NSA或者是SA模式时，通过向UE发送RRC连接重配置消息，指示UE对NR小区进行测量，UE根据指示上报测量结果，然后网络设备可根据测量报告指示UE进入NSA或者是SA模式。
由于此时UE无法感知网络设备配置测量报告的目的，如果先上报了添加SCG为目的的测量报告，此时网络设备会指示UE添加SCG建立EN-DC，如果UE再次上报了切换或重定向为目的的测量报告，网络设备会指示UE切换或重定向。上述行为会造成信令的冗余，在UE具备直接执行切换或重定向的条件下，冗余执行了NR SCG的添加和释放，进一步加大了UE切换或重定向的时延。
图4为一种解决上述问题的切换组网模式的流程交互图。
步骤S410：网络设备发送RRC连接重配置消息，指示UE对NR小区进行测量。
步骤S420：UE向网络设备发送UE辅助信息，用于告知网络设备当前UE的偏好状态。该辅助信息中包括功耗偏好指示(powerPrefIndication)信元，当前枚举值支持普通(normal)和低功耗(lowPowerConsumption)，该枚举值可以用于告知网络设备当前UE是否有低功耗需求。该辅助信息中还包括过热辅助信息(overheatingAssistanceForSCG)信元，可以配置裁剪后的最大载波数(reducedMaxCCs)信元，用于告知网络设备当前UE推荐的最大载波数。
但是，该方案中的功耗偏好指示信元只是告知网络设备当前UE的功耗情况，并没有直接告知网络设备当前UE倾向切换或重定向还是添加、修改或释放辅小区/辅小区组，并且当前协议也没有约定网络设备收到低功耗和普通两种枚举值时的具体行为约束。该方案中的过热辅助信息信元是将决策权交给网络设备，可见UE推荐的辅助信息，基站是可以拒绝的，而且同一个NR小区会有多个UE同时接入，而不同的UE具有不同的功耗需求，此时，网络设备优化压力大，会出现控制出错的情况。
图5为另一种解决上述问题的切换组网模式的流程交互图。
步骤S510：网络设备发送UE能力查询(UE capability enquiry)消息，指示UE上报UE能力相关信息。
步骤S520：UE向网络设备发送UE能力消息(UE capability information)，UE capability information中的UE多无线双连接能力(UE-MRDC-capability，multi-radio dual connectivity，MRDC)信元，内部有EN-DC能力支持指示。UE capability information中的UE NR能力(UE-NR-capability)能够指示是否支持切换或重定向。
但是该方案依赖网络发送UE capability enquiry消息，如果网络不查询UE的能力，UE无法主动发送UE capability information变更告知网络。由于网络会保存UE的能力，因此除UE初始注册(attach)外，网络主动查询的时机不多。即使该信元将来具备主动发送告知网络的条件，由于UE capability information内包含的能力信息很多，占用信令开销很大，如果UE频繁变更需求，并将此信息发送给网络设备，会造成信令开销大，不经济。
本申请提供一种UE能够感知网络设备下发测量目的的方法，该测量可以是B1/B2事件测量，但也不局限于B1/B2事件测量，该方法可以使UE接收到网络设备下发的测量后，结合UE当前状态做出对应的决策，可见这种方案将优化主动权下放至UE，这样可以降低网络设备的压力，并且UE根据当前的状态来决策选择上报某一种目的的测量报告，可见UE变更策略不需要告知网络设备，由网络设备做决策，因此不会增加额外信令的开销，也使得UE具备频繁变更策略的条件。
图6为本申请实施例提供的切换或重定向的流程交互图。
S610步骤，第一网络设备向UE发送指示信息，该指示信息用于指示测量报告的目的，该目的为用于RRM，用于RRM包括切换或重定向。
可选地，第一网络设备向UE发送测量配置，该测量配置中包括该指示信息。例如网络设备向UE发送RRC连接重配置消息，该RRC连接重配置消息中包括指示UE测量的NR频点和NR小区，并通过报告配置(reportConfig)信元来关联相关的测量事件，例如事件NR B1(eventB1-NR)和/或事件NRB2(eventB2-NR)，不局限于NR B1/B2事件，同时RRC连接重配置消息中包括上述指示信息，当然，上述具体的举例只适用于特定场景，网络设备还可以向UE发送其他的承载测量配置的消息，或者说上述指示信息也可承载于第一网络设备向UE发送的其它消息中，不限于承载在测量配置中。
应理解，第一网络设备发送该指示信息之前，需要确定测量报告的目的，从而生成该指示信息。
可选地，当第一网络设备判断UE的数据流量大于等于门限值时，UE需要切换或重定向，以便获取更大的带宽来支持大流量数据传输服务，或者是当第一网络设备发现当前环境中存在信号质量好(包括参考信号接收功率RSRP，参考信号接收质量RSRQ，信号与干扰加噪声比SINR)的可用于切换或重定向的小区，可以提供更好的通信服务时，第一网络设备确定测量报告的目的，从而生成指示信息。
还应理解，第一网络设备下发的测量事件，不局限于NR B1/B2事件，只要是和切换或重定向相关的测量，都属于本专利的保护范围。
一种实施方式中，在上述特定场景下，还可以在InterRAT报告配置(ReportConfigInterRAT，radio access technology，RAT)消息中配置该指示信息，用于第一网络设备告知UE配置NR B1/B2测量的目的。
可选地，该指示信息可以为目的(purpose)信元，purpose属于枚举，枚举值为切换(handover)或者重定向(redirection)，示例如下，但该目的信元的具体定义形式不限于 此示例，任何能达到告知UE上报测量报告目的的定义形式都属于本专利的保护范围。
Figure PCTCN2020139545-appb-000001
应理解，除了对该目的信元的定义形式不做限定外，本申请对该目的信元在ReportConfigInterRAT消息中的位置也不做限定，对该信元的名称也不做限定，只要在InterRAT报告配置消息中增加的信元可以指示UE第一网络设备配置NR B1/B2测量的目的，都在本申请的保护范围。
另一种实施方式中，在测量标识(measId)信息中增加该指示信息，用于第一网络设备告知UE配置测量的目的。
可选地，该指示信息可以为目的(purpose)信元，purpose属于枚举，枚举值为切换(handover)或重定向(redirection)，示例如下，同上所述，该目的信元的具体定义形式不限于此示例，任何能达到告知UE上报测量报告目的的定义形式都属于本专利的保护范围。
Figure PCTCN2020139545-appb-000002
应理解，同上所述，除了对该目的信元的定义形式不做限定外，对该目的信元在measId中的位置同样不做限定，对该信元的名称也不做限定，只要在measId中增加的信元可以指示UE第一网络设备配置测量的目的，都在本申请的保护范围。
另一种实施方式中，在报告配置信息中，在该消息中指示UE测量小区参数的信元上配置参数的取值。
例如在InterRAT报告配置消息的NR门限(ThresholdNR-r15)，迟滞(Hysteresis)，触发时长(TimeToTrigger)，上报间隔(ReportInterval)等信元中的至少一个信元上配置参数的取值，但不限于上述信元，只要是任何可以区分出报告目的的参数取值，都属于本发明专利的保护范围。在第一网络设备和UE两端进行协商约定指示UE上报以切换和重定向为目的的测量报告的该参数的范围。
具体地，UE接收到InterRAT报告配置消息后，确定该参数的取值落入哪个范围，从 而确定上报测量报告的目的，在第一网络设备和UE两端协商约定该参数的取值可以划分为多个范围，其中对应重定向和切换的参数的取值范围可以是相同的，也可以是不同的，如果是不同的，则对应切换和重定向的这两个范围可以是完全不重叠的，也可以是部分重叠的。两个范围有部分重叠的情况下，如果参数的取值落在不重叠的范围内，则目的可以明确为切换和重定向的其中一个；如果参数的取值落在重叠的范围内，则表示目的为两个，包括切换和重定向。
S620步骤，UE进行测量评估，判断是否有满足测量事件的小区，例如B1事件和/或B2事件。
S630步骤，UE上报用于切换或重定向的测量报告给第一网络设备，例如B1事件和/或B2事件。
S640步骤，UE接收第一网络设备发送的用于指示UE切换或重定向的消息。
S650步骤，UE接收第一网络设备发送的用于指示UE切换或重定向的消息后，进行切换或者重定向。
S660步骤，UE完成切换后向第二网络设备指示UE成功切换。例如UE向第二网络设备发送RRC连接重配置完成消息表示UE成功切换。需注意的是，S660步骤是UE完成切换后进行的操作，如果在此之前UE完成的是重定向，则UE不会向第二网络设备发送完成重定向的确认。
应理解，以上步骤中的具体举例，适用于UE驻留在LTE中的eNB，但网络设备期望UE接入NR系统的场景，此时图6中的第一网络设备为eNB，第二网络设备为gNB。本实施例的方案还可应用于其他通信系统，当本实施例的方案应用于其他通信系统时，上述步骤中涉及的网络设备和消息也会发生变化，在此不作限制。
图7为本申请实施例提供的网络设备指示UE切换至NSA模式的交互图。
S710步骤，网络设备向UE发送指示信息，该指示信息用于指示测量报告的目的，该目的为用于RRM，用于RRM包括添加、修改或释放辅小区/辅小区组。
可选地，网络设备向UE发送测量配置，该测量配置中包括该指示信息。例如网络设备向UE发送RRC连接重配置消息，该RRC连接重配置消息中包括指示UE测量的NR频点和NR小区，并通过报告配置(reportConfig)信元来关联相关的测量事件，例如事件NR B1(eventB1-NR)和/或NR事件B2(eventB2-NR)，同时RRC连接重配置消息中包括指示信息，同S610步骤，上述具体的举例只适用于特定场景，网络设备还可以向UE发送其他的承载测量配置的消息，或者说上述指示信息也可承载于网络设备向UE发送的其它消息中，不限于承载在测量配置中。
应理解，网络设备向UE发送该指示信息前，需确定该测量报告的目的，从而生成给指示信息。
可选地，当网络设备判断UE的数据流量大于等于门限值时，UE需要添加、修改或释放辅小区/辅小区组，以便获取更大的带宽来支持大流量数据传输服务，或者是当网络设备发现当前环境中存在信号质量好(包括参考信号接收功率RSRP，参考信号接收质量RSRQ，信号与干扰加噪声比SINR)的小区，可以提供更好的通信服务时，网络设备确定测量报告的目的用于添加、修改或释放辅小区/辅小区组，从而生成指示信息。
在一种实施方式中，在上述特定的场景下，在InterRAT报告配置消息中增加该指示 信息，用于网络设备告知UE配置NR B1/B2测量的目的。
可选地，该指示信息可以为目的(purpose)信元，purpose属于枚举，枚举值为添加NR SCG(addNrScg)，修改NR SCG(modNrScg)或释放NR SCG(relNrScg)，示例如下，但该目的信元的具体定义形式不限于此示例，任何能达到告知UE上报测量报告目的的定义形式都属于本专利的保护范围。

应理解，同上所述，对该目的信元在measId中的位置不做限定，对该信元的名称也不做限定，只要在measId中增加的信元可以指示UE网络设备配置NR B1/B2测量的目的，都在本申请的保护范围。
在另一种实施方式中，在报告配置信息中，在指示UE测量小区参数的信元上配置参数的取值。
例如在InterRAT报告配置消息的NR门限(ThresholdNR-r15)，迟滞(Hysteresis)，触发时长(TimeToTrigger)，上报间隔(ReportInterval)等信元中的至少一个信元上配置参数的取值，但不限于上述信元，只要是任何可以区分出报告目的的参数，都属于本发明 专利的保护范围。在网络设备和UE两端进行协商约定指示UE上报以添加、修改或释放辅小区/辅小区组目的的测量报告的该参数的范围。
具体地，UE接收到InterRAT报告配置消息后，确定该参数的取值落入了哪个范围，从而确定上报测量报告的目的，在网络设备和UE两端协商约定的该参数的取值可以划分为多个范围，其中对应添加、修改或释放辅小区/辅小区组的参数的取值范围可以是相同的，也可以是不同的，需要注意的是，添加、修改或释放辅小区/辅小区组和切换、重定向是并列的五个目的，其中每个目的都要有对应的参数的取值范围，具体是一个目的对应一个参数的取值范围，还是两个或两个以上的目的对应一个参数的取值范围在这里不做限定。
S720步骤，UE进行测量评估，判断是否有满足测量事件的小区，例如B1事件和/或B2事件。
S730步骤，UE上报用于添加、修改或释放辅小区/辅小区组的测量报告给网络设备，例如B1事件和/或B2事件。
S740步骤，UE接收网络设备发送的用于指示UE添加、修改或释放辅小区/辅小区组的指示信息。
S750步骤，UE接收网络设备发送的指示信息后，进行添加、修改或释放辅小区/辅小区组。
S760步骤，UE完成添加、修改或释放辅小区/辅小区组后向网络设备指示UE成功添加、修改或释放辅小区/辅小区组。例如UE向网络设备发送RRC连接重配置完成消息表示UE成功添加、修改或释放辅小区/辅小区组。
上述图6和图7所示的实施例中，需要说明的是，网络设备配置的一个测量不仅限于一种测量目的，可以是多个测量目的。例如，对于某个测量，可以是同时用于切换和重定向，也可以是同时用于添加辅小区/辅小区组和切换等。当网络设备配置的一个测量表示两种或两种以上的测量目的时，网络设备可以向UE发送指示信息去指示不同测量目的间的优先级，从而指示主要测量目的和次要测量目的。
应理解，测量目的的下发和测量配置可以是解耦的，例如，网络设备可能已经下发过了测量配置，之后再通过目的指示信息告知UE配置测量的目的。因此，不管是何种方式，只要是UE接收到了来自网络设备发送的针对测量目的的指示信息，并根据自身的状态选择性的上报测量报告，都属于本专利的保护范围。
还应理解，上述S730步骤只是一种可选的方式，S740步骤和S760步骤同样也是可选的步骤。UE接收到指示信息指示测量报告的目的为添加、修改或释放辅小区/辅小区组时，还会根据终端设备的状态选择性的上报或者不上报测量报告，具体如下：
(1)如果网络设备对同一个测量对象同时关联了两种测量报告目的的报告配置，UE在感知到不同目的后，如果周围环境中存在一个小区同时满足两种事件的上报门限条件，优先上报用于切换和重定向相关联的测量报告，或者默认不上报用于添加、修改或释放辅小区/辅小区组相关联的测量报告；
(2)如果网络设备对不同的测量对象关联了两种测量报告目的的报告配置，UE在感知到不同目的后，如果环境中存在小区满足用于切换和重定向相关联的事件，则UE不上报用于添加、修改或释放辅小区/辅小区组相关联的其他小区的测量报告；
(3)如果UE对低功耗和发热敏感，UE可以选择不上报用于添加、修改或释放辅小区/辅小区组相关联的测量报告，不论当前是否具备切换和重定向的条件。不具备切换和重定向的条件有以下两种：一是网络设备没有配置两种目的的报告配置，二是当前环境中没有满足切换和重定向的小区。
因此，当S720步骤中UE上报的是用于切换和重定向的测量报告，则后续的步骤参考上述S640步骤和S660步骤。
应理解，以上步骤中的具体举例，适用于UE驻留在LTE中的eNB，但网络设备期望UE接入EN-DC的场景，此时图7中的网络设备为eNB。本实施例的方案还可应用于其他通信系统，当本实施例的方案应用于其他通信系统时，上述步骤中涉及的网络设备和消息也会发生变化，在此不作限制。
