为详细说明本申请实施例提供的CPAC的评估方法,以下将结合几个具体的实施例进行说明。
实施例一
该实施例包括如下步骤:
步骤1:MN给UE配置了CPA配置和CPC配置,并指示UE可以在CPA后继续进行CPC的评估。
该指示可以在条件重配置(ConditionalReconfiguration)中,如放在CondReconfigToAddMod-r18中。
其中CPA配置包括了多个候选PSCell以及对应的测量事件和门限等。
CPC配置包括了多个候选PSCell以及对应的测量事件和门限等,并且关联了PSCell标识,该标识指当前PSCell为具体哪一个。
步骤2:UE发现CPA候选PSCell 1满足条件,执行CPA,添加了PSCell 1。此时,UE释放CPA配置,并基于关联了PSCell 1的CPC配置,继续评估CPC。
步骤3:UE发现CPC候选PSCell 2满足条件,执行CPC,PSCell由PSCell 1变更为PSCell 2。
实施例二
该实施例包括如下步骤:
步骤1:MN给UE配置了CPC配置。
CPC配置包括了多个候选PSCell以及对应的测量事件和门限等,其中PSCell 1关联的事件为A3,PSCell 2关联的事件为A4或B1,PSCell 3关联的事件为A5。
步骤2:UE发现CPC候选PSCell 1满足条件,执行CPC,由当前PSCell变更到PSCell 1。此时,UE释放关联事件为A5的PSCell 3相关的CPC配置,并基于关联的事件为A4的PSCell 2的配置,继续评估CPC。
步骤3:UE发现CPC候选PSCell 2满足条件,执行CPC,PSCell由PSCell 1变更为PSCell 2。
实施例三
该实施例主要介绍执行条件的配置方法,以下分情况1和情况2进行介绍。
情况1:网络侧给UE的CPAC配置中,包括测量门限1,测量门限2,测量门限3。
当UE未执行CPAC时,使用测量门限1判断UE何时执行CPAC。每执行一次CPAC,后续的CPAC评估则使用新的测量门限来评估。
情况2:网络侧给UE的CPAC配置中,PSCell 1配置关联了事件A3+A4,PSCell 2配置关联了事件A5。则对于PSCell 1,既可以作为CPA的候选小区也可以作为CPC的候选小区,进行连续的CPAC评估;而对于PSCell 2,只能作为CPC的候选小区,且在UE执行完CPAC后,需要释放该配置。
图3是本申请实施例的CPAC配置的处理方法实现流程示意图,可以应用在终端。如图3所示,该方法300包括如下步骤。
