Detailed ways

In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, we will introduce some relevant knowledge involved in this application:

L3 (layer 3) measurement: When L3 measures neighboring cells, it is necessary to know the frequency point and physical cell identity (PCI) information of the cell at the same time. Among them, the network device uses dedicated signaling or system broadcast messages to the terminal device Send frequency point information; optionally, the network device can further provide the terminal device with one or more PCI information associated with a frequency point to be measured, thereby assisting the terminal device to perform measurements more quickly, but the PCI information is optional.

For the terminal device in the connected state, the network device sends the L3 measurement related configuration to the terminal device through dedicated signaling. The L3 measurement related configuration sent by the dedicated signaling at least includes the following parts:

(1) At least one MO (Measurement Object, measurement target) that needs to be added or modified, and/or, at least one MO that needs to be deleted;

An MO usually includes the identification of a frequency point to be measured, and the synchronization measurement time configuration (Synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block Measurement Time Configuration, SMTC) associated with the measurement reference signal corresponding to the frequency point to be measured. Among them, the identification of the frequency point to be measured is used to inform the frequency point to be measured corresponding to the MO. The measurement reference signal corresponding to the frequency point to be measured can be a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (Synchronization Signal/physical broadcast channel Block, SSB) ( It can also be abbreviated as SS/PBCH block) or Channel State Information Reference Signal (Channel State Information Reference Signal, CSI-RS). The SMTC configuration associated with the measurement reference signal is used to inform the time domain location where the measurement reference signal appears, that is: the measurement window information.

(2) At least one measurement reporting configuration that needs to be added or modified, and/or, at least one measurement reporting configuration that needs to be deleted;

Based on the MO configured by the network device, the terminal device can obtain the measurement results of the neighboring cell L3 measurement, but the terminal device still does not know when to report the measurement results and the format of the reported measurement results. Therefore, in addition to the MO configuration, the network device will also configure the measurement report. Configuration, used to control the measurement reporting behavior of terminal devices.

(3) At least one measurement ID that needs to be added or modified, and/or, at least one measurement ID that needs to be deleted;

A measurement ID is associated with an MO and a measurement reporting configuration, thereby realizing a many-to-many mapping relationship between multiple MOs and multiple measurement reporting configurations. Measurement reporting is reported in units of measurement ID, that is, a measurement report includes a measurement ID corresponding to measurement results.

Serving Cell: includes at least the Primary Cell (PCell) and optionally includes at least one of the Secondary Cell (SCell) and the Primary Secondary Cell (PSCell). A cell where terminal devices establish connections and provide services to terminal devices.

Neighbor Cell (NCell): Also known as neighbor cell (or adjacent cell, adjacent cell, etc.), it refers to other cells other than the serving cell that the terminal device is currently accessing.

Figure 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of a mobile communication system provided by an embodiment of the present application. The mobile communication system can be an LTE system or the 5th generation mobile communication technology (the 5th generation mobile communication, 5G), also known as the NR system. The mobile communication system includes: network equipment 120 and terminal equipment 140.

The network device 120 may be a base station, which may be used to convert received wireless frames and IP packet messages to and from each other, and may also coordinate attribute management of the air interface. For example, the base station can be an evolutionary base station (eNB or e-NodeB, evolutionary Node B) in LTE, or a base station using a centralized distributed architecture in the 5G system.

Optionally, in the mobile communication system shown in Figure 1, different network devices 120 correspond to their respective wireless signal coverage areas (a circular area with the network device 120 as the center). This wireless signal coverage area is called a cell, and is different. There are intersections between communities. In other possible implementations, the same network device 120 may correspond to multiple cells, and each cell may correspond to a different identifier, which is not limited in the embodiments of this application.

The network device 120 and the terminal device 140 establish a wireless connection through a wireless air interface. Optionally, the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on the LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) standard; or the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on the 5G standard, for example, the wireless air interface is NR; or the wireless air interface can also be It is a wireless air interface based on the next generation mobile communication network technology standard based on 5G.

Terminal device 140 may be a device that provides voice and/or data connectivity to a user. The terminal device may communicate with one or more core networks via a Radio Access Network (RAN). The terminal device 140 may be a mobile terminal device, such as a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a mobile terminal device. The device's computer, for example, may be a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, built-in computer, or vehicle-mounted mobile device. For example, Subscriber Unit, Subscriber Station, Mobile Station, Mobile, Remote Station, Access Point, Remote Terminal , access terminal equipment (AccessTerminal), user device (User Terminal), user agent (User Agent), user equipment (User Device), or user terminal equipment (User Equipment).

For example, in a conditional handover scenario, cell A is the primary cell, cell B is the secondary cell, cell 1-1 is the primary and secondary cell, and cell 1-2 is the secondary cell. When the terminal device is within the service range of cell 1-1, the network device will configure the configuration information of at least one candidate cell for the terminal device. This configuration information is related to conditional handover. Each candidate cell will reserve resources for the terminal device, such as , the network device configures the configuration information of cell 2-1, cell 3-1, and cell 4-1 for the terminal device. Cell 2-1, cell 3-1, and cell 4-1 will all reserve resources for the terminal device. When the terminal equipment moves from cell 1-1 to cell 3-1, the terminal equipment measures the signal quality of cell 2-1, cell 3-1 and cell 4-1, and the measurement result obtained is: cell 2-1 The signal quality of cell 3-1 is weakened, the signal quality of cell 3-1 is enhanced, and the signal quality of cell 4-1 is enhanced. The terminal device reports the measurement results to the network device currently connected to the terminal device. The network equipment allows the cell 2-1 to release the resources reserved for the terminal equipment based on the measurement results, thereby reducing the invalid resource reservation of the network equipment and improving the resource utilization of the communication system in the context of conditional handover.

Wherein, the candidate cell is a candidate cell related to conditional handover.

This application The examples do not specifically limit this.

Since all cells included in the Master Cell Group (MCG) are usually deployed on one node, the Master Cell Group can also be called the Master Node (MN). Similarly, since all cells included in a Secondary Cell Group (SCG) are usually deployed on one node, the Secondary Cell Group can also be called a Secondary Node (SN).

Exemplarily, the cell identifier associated with the candidate cell related to the conditional handover includes at least one of the following identifiers:

Figure 3 shows a flow chart of a method for reporting measurement information provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. This embodiment illustrates that the method is executed by a terminal device. The method includes:

Step 301: When the preset conditions are met, the terminal device reports the measurement result of the first cell.

The first cell is at least one of the cells related to first configuration information, and the first configuration information is related to conditional handover.

In some embodiments, when the preset conditions are met, the terminal device reports the measurement result of the first cell.

For example, network device A corresponding to cell A where the terminal device is located configures first configuration information to the terminal device. The first configuration information includes the configuration information of cell B, cell C, cell D, and cell E and the configuration information of the corresponding handover conditions. When the terminal device moves to cell B, and when the preset conditions are met, the terminal device reports the measurement results of cell C, cell D, and cell E to the network device B corresponding to cell B.

For example, the preset conditions include at least one of the following conditions:

Preset condition one: receive the first instruction information sent by the network device, the first instruction information is used to instruct the terminal device to report the measurement results of the first cell;

Preset condition 2: When the measurement reporting event associated with any measurement ID in the measurement configuration stored in the terminal device is triggered, the measurement results of the first cell are reported;

Preset condition three: When the measurement reporting event associated with any one of the measurement IDs in the first measurement ID set in the measurement configuration stored in the terminal device is triggered, the measurement results of the first cell are reported. The first measurement ID set is configured through the network device. Determined or determined by default in the agreement;

Preset condition four: When the handover condition associated with any candidate cell contained in the first configuration information stored by the terminal device is met, the measurement result of the first cell is reported;

Preset condition 5: When the first event is met, the measurement result of the first cell is reported.

The first instruction information in preset condition one is used to instruct the terminal device to report the measurement results of the first cell. The first instruction information is sent through any of the following messages: RRC message, Media Access Control Control Element (Media Access Control Control Element) , MAC CE) cell or downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI) cell.

When the terminal device receives the first indication information sent by the network device, the terminal device reports the measurement result of the first cell.

Optionally, the terminal device may also report the serving cell of the terminal device, or the measurement results related to the serving cell measurement target MO.

For example, after the terminal device receives the first indication information sent by the network device, the terminal device may report the measurement result of the first cell in the following manner.

Method 1: After the terminal device receives the first indication information sent by the network device, the terminal device reports the measurement result of the first cell once.

Method 2: After the terminal device receives the first indication information sent by the network device, the terminal device periodically reports the measurement result of the first cell in a first period.

Method 3: After the terminal device receives the first indication information sent by the network device, the terminal device periodically reports the measurement results of the first cell M times according to the first cycle requirement.

Among them, the first period and parameter M are configured to the terminal device in a default manner or configured to the terminal device through terminal-specific signaling sent to the terminal device by the network device.

For example, in order to control the mobility of the terminal device, the network device configures a measurement configuration for the terminal device in the connected state.

The measurement configuration includes at least one of the following information:

·At least one measurement object (Measurement Object, MO) that needs to be added or modified;

·At least one MO that needs to be deleted;

·At least one measurement reporting configuration that needs to be added or modified;

·At least one measurement reporting configuration that needs to be deleted;

·At least one measurement ID information that needs to be added or modified;

·At least one measurement ID information that needs to be deleted.

Wherein, the measurement configuration stored by the terminal device is the measurement configuration configured by the MN, or the measurement configuration stored by the terminal device is the measurement configuration configured by the SN. A measurement ID is associated with an MO and a measurement reporting configuration. Each measurement reporting configuration also contains a measurement reporting event. The terminal device stores the above measurement configuration after successfully receiving it.

Optionally, the measurement ID information may not only be configured through the above measurement configuration, but may also be included in the first configuration information. Each conditional handover-related candidate cell will be associated with a handover condition configuration.

Optionally, please refer to Table 1 and Table 2 for the configuration logical relationship between the measurement ID in the measurement configuration and the measurement ID in the first configuration information.

Table 1 Measurement configuration information representation

In the table, N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

As shown in the measurement configuration information in Table 1, each measurement ID is associated with an MO and a measurement reporting configuration. Among them, the value set from measurement ID 1 to measurement ID N is {C1, C2,..., CN}, The value range of CN is natural numbers.

Table 2 First configuration information representation

Table 2 takes the first configuration information as an example to illustrate that the configuration information associated with four conditional handover-related candidate cells is included. The configuration information associated with each conditional handover-related candidate cell includes at least one measurement ID information. The conditional handover configuration information includes Any measurement ID belongs to one of the {measurement ID 1, measurement ID 2,..., measurement ID N} sets corresponding to Table 1, namely: measurement ID X, measurement ID Y, measurement ID Z, measurement ID U and Measurement ID W all belong to a subset of the set {measurement ID 1, measurement ID 2,..., measurement ID N}.

For example, in the second preset condition, when a measurement reporting event associated with any measurement ID in the measurement configuration stored by the terminal device is triggered, the terminal device reports the measurement result of the first cell.

For example, the measurement reporting event associated with any measurement ID in the measurement configuration stored in the terminal device is triggered, that is, any measurement ID in the {measurement ID 1, measurement ID 2,..., measurement ID N} set corresponding to Table 1 The associated measurement reporting event is triggered. At this time, the terminal device is triggered to report the measurement results of the first cell at the measurement ID granularity.

Optionally, when a measurement reporting event associated with any measurement ID in the measurement configuration stored in the terminal device is triggered, the terminal device may also report a measurement result associated with the measurement ID triggered by the measurement reporting event.

Exemplarily, in preset condition 3, when the measurement reporting event associated with any one of the measurement IDs in the first measurement ID set in the measurement configuration stored by the terminal device is triggered, the measurement results of the first cell are reported, and the first measurement ID set is Determined through network device configuration or through protocol default.

In a possible implementation, the first measurement ID set is determined in the following two ways:

Method 1: (Measurement ID granularity explicit notification): The network device configures a set of measurement IDs, but each configured measurement ID is associated with an indicator bit. This indicator bit is used to indicate that the measurement reporting event corresponding to the measurement ID is triggered. Will it also trigger the terminal equipment to report the measurement results of the first cell?

Among them, the specific configuration location of the above indicator bit information may be any of the following:

·Configured in the MO configuration associated with the measurement ID (indicator bit information is configured indirectly associated with the measurement ID);

·Configured in the measurement reporting configuration associated with the measurement ID (indicator bit information is configured indirectly associated with the measurement ID);

·The indication bit information is directly associated with the measurement ID. In this method, the measurement ID will be associated with an MO, a measurement reporting configuration and an indication bit information at the same time.

Method 2: (Implicit notification of measurement ID group granularity): The network device configures two sets of measurement IDs to the terminal device. The measurement reporting event associated with any measurement ID in the set of measurement IDs is triggered before the terminal device is triggered to report the third measurement ID. The measurement results of a cell, that is, implicitly indicating which group of measurement IDs is the above-mentioned first measurement ID set through different measurement ID groups.

In another possible implementation, the first measurement ID set is determined in the following two ways:

Predefined method 1: Specify in a protocol-specified manner that the measurement ID configured in the first configuration information belongs to the above-mentioned first measurement ID set, that is: the measurements included in the measurement reporting configuration associated with any measurement ID configured in the first configuration information When the reporting event is triggered, the terminal device is triggered to report the measurement results of the first cell;

Predefined method 2: It is specified in the protocol that the measurement IDs related to the candidate cells related to the conditional handover belong to the above-mentioned first measurement ID set, where the measurement IDs related to the candidate cells related to the conditional handover include two types of measurement IDs:

The first type of measurement ID: the measurement ID configured in the first configuration information;

The second type of measurement ID: in the measurement configuration, in addition to the first type of measurement ID, the measurement ID of the candidate cell related to the conditional handover can be measured, where the meaning of the measurement ID of the candidate cell related to the conditional handover can be measured is: The MO configuration associated with the measurement ID includes frequency point information used by the candidate cell related to conditional handover or includes frequency point and PCI information used by the candidate cell related to conditional handover.

Optionally, when the measurement reporting event associated with any one of the measurement IDs in the first measurement ID set in the measurement configuration stored by the terminal device is triggered, the terminal device may also report the measurement results associated with the measurement ID triggered by the measurement reporting event.

Exemplarily, when the handover condition associated with any candidate cell contained in the first configuration information stored by the terminal device in the fourth preset condition is met, the measurement result of the first cell is reported;

The handover condition associated with the candidate cell related to conditional handover includes one or more measurement IDs.

Optionally, when multiple measurement IDs included in the handover conditions associated with the candidate cell all meet the measurement triggering events associated with the respective measurement IDs, report the measurement results of the first cell;

Or, when at least one measurement ID among the plurality of measurement IDs included in the handover condition associated with the candidate cell satisfies the measurement triggering event associated with the measurement ID, the measurement result of the first cell is reported.

Optionally, when the handover condition associated with any candidate cell included in the first configuration information stored by the terminal device is met, the terminal device may also report measurement results related to the terminal device's serving cell or the serving cell's processing target MO.

For example, when the first event in preset condition five is met, the measurement result of the first cell is reported.

The first event includes at least one of the following events:

·The signal measurement result of the serving primary cell PCell is less than or equal to the first threshold;

·The signal measurement result of the serving primary cell PCell is less than or equal to the first threshold and lasts for the first duration;

·The signal measurement result of the serving primary and secondary cell PSCell is less than or equal to the second threshold;

·The signal measurement result of the serving primary and secondary cell PSCell is less than or equal to the second threshold and lasts for the second duration;

·The signal measurement results of all candidate cells are less than or equal to the third threshold;

·The signal measurement results of all candidate cells are less than or equal to the third threshold and last for the third duration;

·The signal measurement results of at least N candidate cells among all candidate cells are less than or equal to the fourth threshold;

·The signal measurement results of at least N candidate cells among all candidate cells are less than or equal to the fourth threshold and last for the fourth duration;

·From the moment when the terminal equipment last performed conditional handover or timely handover, after the fifth period of time, there is still no signal measurement result of any candidate cell that meets the corresponding configured conditional handover triggering conditions;

·The total time the terminal equipment stays in a cell is greater than or equal to the sixth time;

·The speed of the terminal device is less than or equal to the fifth threshold;

·The speed of the terminal device is less than or equal to the fifth threshold and continues for the seventh time;

·The displacement of the terminal device within the first time period is less than or equal to the sixth threshold;

·The periodic reporting timer times out;

·The measurement result of any cell measured is less than or equal to the seventh threshold;

·The measurement result of any cell measured is less than or equal to the seventh threshold and lasts for the eighth time;

·The change amount of the measurement result of the reference signal received power RSRP of the primary cell PCell or the primary and secondary cell PSCell by the terminal equipment in the second time period is greater than or equal to the eighth threshold.

Optionally, the first event is configured by default;

Or, the first event is configured through terminal-specific signaling sent by the network device to the terminal device.

It can be understood that the default method refers to the method that has been recorded in the communication protocol.

For example, the time parameters of the first time period and the second time period are configured by the terminal device in a default manner, or are configured by terminal-specific signaling sent to the terminal device through the network device.

For example, network device A corresponding to cell A configures the first event to the terminal device through terminal-specific signaling. When the terminal device is in cell B, if the first event is satisfied, the terminal device reports the third event to network device B corresponding to cell B. Measurement results for a small area.

Optionally, the first event is configured by default, including:

The terminal device obtains the event control parameters associated with the first event in a default manner;

Or, the terminal device receives a second message sent by the network device, where the second message includes event control parameters associated with the first event.

Optionally, the first event sends terminal-specific signaling configuration to the terminal device through the network device, including:

Receive a third message sent by the network device, where the third message includes identification information of the first event and/or event control parameters associated with the first event.

Optionally, event control parameters include at least one of the following:

First threshold, first duration, second threshold, second duration, third threshold, third duration, fourth threshold, fourth duration, parameter N, fifth duration, sixth duration, fifth threshold, seventh duration , the sixth threshold, the periodic reporting timer, the seventh threshold, the eighth duration and the eighth threshold.

In some embodiments, when there is only one first event, identification information corresponding to the first event is not required, but the first event may be associated with one or more event control parameters, and the event control parameters can be passed Obtained through the default method, or through dedicated signaling sent by the network device, or through system broadcast information.

To sum up, this application describes in detail the reporting method of measurement information when multiple preset conditions are met, so that the network device can promptly learn the measurement results of the first cell related to the conditional handover configuration, thereby assisting the network device. Modifying, updating or deleting configuration information related to conditional switching in a timely manner for terminals reduces invalid resource reservations on network equipment, helps network equipment timely release reserved resources that are less likely to be used by terminals, and improves the communication system. Resource utilization in the context of conditional switching.
