实施例一
该实施例中,终端基于源MCG(Source MCG)测量,如图3所示,该实施例包括如下步骤:
步骤1:源主节点(S-MN)发起条件切换过程,S-MN向至少一个潜在目标主节点(T-MN)发送切换请求消息(Handover Request),所述切换请求消息包含条件切换信息请求信元。
可选地,所述切换请求消息包含以下至少一项CPAC信息:
1)发起带CPAC或MR-DC的条件切换的指示信息,例如,发起带CPAC的条件切换的指示(CHOwithCPAC-initiation)。
2)支持CPAC的指示信息,即所述S-MN发起的条件切换过程支持条件切换的候选小区携带CPAC候选小区。
3)支持MR-DC的指示信息,即所述S-MN发起的条件切换过程支持MR-DC。
4)支持多个SCG候选小区的指示信息。即所述S-MN发起的条件切换过程支持条件切换的候选小区携带多个SCG候选小区。
5)允许该T-MN添加的以下至少之一的最大数量:CPAC候选辅节点(SN),候选主辅小区,候选小区。
6)源节点(如S-MN,或S-MN和S-SN)给UE配置的测量配置信息。
进一步地,上述CPAC信息包含在切换请求消息中的条件切换信息请求信元(Conditional Handover Information Request)中。可选地,条件切换触发(CHO Trigger)信元取值为:带CPAC的条件切换的指示(CHOwithCPAC-initiation),或带MR-DC的条件 切换(CHO with MR-DC)来指示。
一种实施方式如下表所示:
步骤2:潜在目标主节点(T-MN)接收所述切换请求消息。可选地,如果所述切换请求消息包含所述CPAC信息,目标主节点(T-MN)执行以下至少之一操作:
1)发起CPAC,具体地,T-MN向至少一个潜在目标辅节点(Target-SN,T-SN)发送辅节点添加请求消息。进一步地,在给潜在目标辅节点发送的辅节点添加请求消息中,携带源节点(S-MN,或S-MN和S-SN)给UE配置的测量配置信息。

一个测量ID所关联的测量配置包括以下至少一项:MCG测量配置,即源主节点S-MN 提供的MCG测量配置;SCG测量配置,即源辅节点S-SN提供的SCG测量配置;目标MCG测量配置,即目标主节点T-MN提供的目标MCG测量配置。
因为S-MN,S-SN和T-MN所配置的测量对应的标识有相同的取值范围(例如:取值范围都是1~64);所以,UE基于该配置消息,应该能够明确被配置上报配置标识所关联的测量对象标识是由哪一个节点所配置的,以便对对应的测量对象进行无线信号质量测量。
例如:S-MN配置的测量ID为1,其关联的测量对象为F1(频点1);S-SN配置的测量ID为1,其关联的测量对象为F2(频点2)。UE需要基于测量配置,明确地知道测量ID1关联的是F1(S-MN配置)还是F2(S-SN配置)。因此,相关的指示信息需要在“切换请求确认消息”中携带。
可用的指示方法包括:在“切换请求确认消息”中,指示与测量ID对应的测量配置是由哪个节点配置的。本实施例中个,所述测量ID关联到MCG测量配置。
3)CPAC条件重配置标识信息,包含所述T-MN关联的至少一个CPAC候选小区对应的条件重配置标识(condReconfigID)。

所述CPAC信息由辅节点修改请求消息(S-NODE MODIFICATION REQUEST)承载。
步骤4b:S-SN向S-MN发送SCG配置信息,如辅节点修改确认消息(S-NODE MODIFICATION REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE)。
如果主节点(如S-MN)发送给辅节点(如S-SN)的消息如辅节点修改请求消息(S-NODE MODIFICATION REQUEST)包含CPAC信息,辅节点(如S-SN)在发送给主节点(如S-MN)的消息如辅节点修改确认消息中包含SCG测量配置,所述SCG测量配置包含CPAC候选小区相关的测量信息,即CPAC信息所指示的测量频点、测量对象、测量对象等。
