The following related technologies can be arbitrarily combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, which all belong to the embodiments of the present application. protected range.

NR can be deployed independently. In the 5G network environment, in order to reduce air interface signaling, quickly restore wireless connections, and quickly restore data services, a new Radio Resource Control (RRC) state, namely inactive state (RRC_INACTIVE), is defined. RRC_INACTIVE is different from idle state (RRC_IDLE) and connected state (RRC_CONNECTED). The characteristics of these states are as follows:

RRC_IDLE: Mobility is UE-based cell selection reselection, paging is initiated by the Core Network (CN), and the paging area is configured by the CN. There is no UE access stratum (Access Stratum, AS) context on the base station side. There is no RRC connection.

RRC_CONNECTED: There is an RRC connection, and the UE AS context exists between the base station and the UE. The location of the UE is known to the network device at the specific cell level. Mobility is the mobility of network device control. Unicast data can be transmitted between the UE and the base station.

RRC_INACTIVE: Mobility is UE-based cell selection reselection, there is a connection between CN-NR, UE AS context exists on a base station, paging is triggered by Radio Access Network (RAN), RAN-based Paging areas are managed by the RAN. The network equipment knows the location of the UE based on the paging area level of the RAN.

NR also introduced a light version of NR (NR-light) equipment. At present, the equipment of NR-light mainly includes:

Industrial Wireless Sensors: Compared with URLLC, industrial wireless sensors have relatively low latency and reliability requirements. At the same time, the cost and power consumption of the device are lower than URLLC and eMBB.

Video surveillance (Video surveillance) equipment: mainly used for video surveillance in smart cities, industrial factories and other scenarios. For example, it is used for data collection and processing in smart cities, so as to monitor and control urban resources more effectively and provide more effective services to urban residents.

Wearables: including smart watches, rings, electronic health devices, and some medical monitoring devices. Common to these devices is their small size.

The equipment of NR-light has higher requirements on the energy saving of the equipment. In order to meet the energy saving requirement of the terminal equipment, for the radio resource management (Radio Resource Management, RRM) measurement in the disconnected state, the UE may perform measurement relaxation based on the measurement relaxation criterion. Measurement relaxation criteria include a "UE not-cell-edge" criterion and a "low-mobility" criterion. Whether the measurement relaxation criterion is satisfied is measured based on the "cell-level" measurement results of the UE on the serving cell. The two principles are described below:

"UE is not located at the cell edge" criterion: For this criterion, the network device configures a reference signal received power (Reference Signal Received Power, RSRP) threshold. In addition, a reference signal received quality (Reference Signal Received Quality, RSRQ) threshold can also be configured. When the RSRP of the UE on the serving cell is greater than the RSRP threshold, and the RSRQ of the UE on the serving cell is greater than the RSRQ threshold when the network device configures the RSRQ threshold, it is considered that the UE satisfies "UE is not located at the cell edge" guidelines. The RSRP threshold configured by the network device for the criterion "UE is not located at the cell edge" needs to be smaller than the two upper layer configuration threshold parameters SIntraSearchP and SnonIntraSearchP. If the network device is also configured with the RSRQ threshold of the "UE is not located at the cell edge" criterion, the RSRQ threshold used for the "UE is not located at the cell edge" criterion must be smaller than SIntraSearchQ and SnonIntraSearchQ.

"Low mobility" criterion: For this criterion, the network device configures the RSRP change evaluation duration TSearchDeltaP and the RSRP change value threshold SsearchDeltaP. When the RSRP variation of the UE on the serving cell within the predetermined duration TSearchDeltaP is less than SSearchDeltaP, it is considered that the UE meets the "low mobility" criterion. After the UE completes cell selection/reselection, it needs to perform normal RRM measurement for at least a period of time TSearchDeltaP.

The RRM measurement mainly refers to the mobility measurement in the connected state. After the network device sends the measurement configuration indication information to the UE, the UE detects the signal quality status of the neighboring cells according to the measurement configuration information such as the indicated measurement object and reporting configuration, and feeds back the measurement reporting information to the network for network handover or improvement. Neighbor cell relationship list.

In the LTE system, the network device sends the measurement configuration indication information to the UE in the connected state through RRC signaling, and the UE performs intra-frequency measurement, inter-frequency measurement or inter-technology measurement according to the measurement configuration information indicated by the measurement configuration indication information. The results are reported to the network.

The network device uses RRC connection reconfiguration to perform measurement configuration, and the indicated measurement configuration information includes:

1) Measurement Object

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

2) report configuration (measurement report config)

The types of reporting configurations include configuration information for event-triggered reporting and configuration information for periodic-triggered reporting. Each reporting configuration has a separate ID (ID). The configuration information for event-triggered reporting includes the event type and threshold value, as well as the duration (Time to Trigger) that meets the triggering condition. The reporting configuration of the periodic trigger type includes the reporting period and the purpose of the periodic trigger.

The intra-frequency/inter-frequency measurement events in the LTE system include the following:

Event A1: Serving cell channel quality is greater than the threshold (Event A1: Serving becomes better than absolute threshold);

Event A2: The channel quality of the serving cell is less than the threshold (Event A2: Serving becomes worse than absolute threshold);

Event A3: Neighbour cell channel quality is better than primary cell/primary and secondary cell channel quality (Event A3: Neighbour becomes amount of offset better than PCell/PSCell);

Event A4: Neighbour cell channel quality is greater than the threshold (Event A4: Neighbour becomes better than absolute threshold);

Event A5: The channel quality of the primary cell/primary and secondary cells is less than the threshold 1, and the channel quality of the adjacent cell/secondary cell is greater than the threshold 2 (Event A5: PCell/PSCell becomes worse than absolute threshold1 AND Neighbour/SCell becomes better than another absolute threshold2);

Event A6: The channel quality of the neighboring cell is better than the channel quality of the secondary cell (Event A6: Neighbour becomes amount of offset better than Scell);

Event B1: The channel quality of neighboring cells of different systems is greater than the threshold (Event B1: Neighbour becomes better than absolute threshold);

Event B2: The channel quality of the primary cell is less than the threshold 1, and the channel quality of the neighboring cells of the different system is greater than the threshold 2 (Event B2: PCell becomes worse than absolute threshold 1 AND Neighbour becomes better than another absolute threshold 2).

3) Measurement ID:

Measurements are identified as individual IDs that associate measurement objects with specific reporting configurations. If the UE reaches the measurement enable threshold, the UE will determine whether to perform the corresponding measurement according to the presence or absence of the measurement identifier.

4) Other parameters

Other parameters include measurement gap, measurement turn-on threshold, and speed status parameters.

As described above, in the disconnected state, the terminal device can perform measurement relaxation based on the measurement relaxation criterion, so as to dynamically control the measurement and achieve the purpose of energy saving. Through in-depth research by the inventor, it is found that the terminal device can also perform RRM measurement in the connected state under the control of the network device. For example, when the network device receives the terminal assistance information, the network device may adjust the measurement configuration information of the terminal device, for example, increase the measurement configuration information or decrease the measurement configuration information. However, frequently increasing or decreasing the measurement configuration information will generate high signaling overhead, resulting in reduced system efficiency.

The solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are mainly used to solve at least one of the above problems.

In order to understand the features and technical contents of the embodiments of the present invention in more detail, the implementation of the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Step S210, the terminal device receives the first indication information from the network device;

Exemplarily, the measurement configuration information set may include X pieces of measurement configuration information determined by the terminal device based on measurement configuration indication information delivered by the network device, where X is an integer greater than or equal to N and greater than or equal to M.

The terminal device may determine the status of each measurement configuration information in the measurement configuration information set according to the received first indication information, for example, determine the status of the N measurement configuration information as an active state, and determine the status of the M measurement configuration information. for the deactivated state. The active state may represent a state in which the measurement configuration information, such as the measurement object, the reporting configuration, and the measurement ID, is in a normal measurement state. The deactivated state may represent that the measurement configuration information is in the state of stopping the measurement or relaxing the measurement.

In some application scenarios, the first indication information may be recorded as an RRM measurement instruction.

In the case where the i-th bit takes the first preset value (for example, 1), the i-th bit is used to activate its corresponding measurement configuration information. In the case where the i-th bit takes the second preset value (for example, 0), the i-th bit is used to deactivate its corresponding measurement configuration information. For example, the first bit stream is 0000110, which is used to activate the 5th and 6th measurement configuration information in the measurement configuration information set and to deactivate the 1st to 4th and 7th measurement configuration information in the measurement configuration information set.

As another example, the first indication information may include the first sequence and/or the second sequence.

Moreover, since there is no need to modify, increase or decrease the measurement configuration information in the measurement configuration information set, only lower signaling overhead is required, which improves system efficiency.
