In a communication system, when the UE satisfies measurement relaxation criteria (such as low mobility criteria, not at the edge of a cell, and static criteria, etc.), the measurement state of the UE will be determined as a measurement relaxation state to reduce UE power consumption.

In related technologies, when a UE in a non-connected state that is in a relaxed measurement state enters a connected state, the base station cannot know the behavior of the UE in the non-connected state, and the base station will first configure the UE with an RRC (Radio Resource Control, radio resource control) message. Based on the measurement configuration information for normal measurement, the UE will then re-judge whether it meets the measurement relaxation criteria, and if so, report to the base station and receive the relaxed measurement configuration information configured by the base station to determine the measurement state of the UE as the measurement relaxation state.

That is to say, in the related art, every time a UE in the measurement relaxed state enters the connected state, a second RRC configuration is required to determine the measurement state of the UE as the measurement relaxed state, and in the process of the second RRC configuration, The UE also needs to perform unnecessary measurements and report an additional RRM measurement relaxation indication, thus causing redundancy in the signaling interaction and measurement process.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, when the relaxed measurement configuration information includes a new pilot signal that needs to be measured, the method for the UE to perform measurement relaxation based on the relaxed measurement configuration information may specifically include: directly based on the new required measurement The pilot signal performs measurement relaxation.

For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, assuming that the pilot signals that need to be measured in the normal measurement state are SSB and CSI-RS, the new pilot signal that needs to be measured can be only SSB, and the UE can only measure the pilot signal Perform measurements on the frequency signal SSB, and only report the measurement results for SSB.

In addition, it should be noted that, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the UE in the idle state satisfies different relaxation criteria, the content included in the corresponding relaxed measurement configuration information may be the same.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, when the UE in the idle state satisfies different relaxation criteria, the content included in the corresponding relaxed measurement configuration information may be different. And, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the contents of the relaxed measurement configuration information corresponding to UEs under different relaxation criteria are different, the relaxation degree of the relaxed measurement configuration information corresponding to the UE satisfying the stationary criterion may be greater than that satisfying the low The relaxation degree of the relaxed measurement configuration information corresponding to the UE with the mobility criterion is greater than the relaxed degree of the relaxed measurement configuration information corresponding to the UE that meets the non-cell edge criterion.

Wherein, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the UE performs measurement relaxation based on the predefined measurement relaxation parameters and the measurement configuration information of the normal measurement state, the UE replaces the measurement configuration of the normal measurement state with the predefined measurement relaxation parameters The corresponding measurement relaxation parameter in the message performs measurement relaxation. Wherein, it should be noted that, when the contents included in the measurement relaxation parameters are different, specific operations for performing measurement relaxation based on the predefined measurement relaxation parameters and the measurement configuration information of the normal measurement state are also different.

Specifically, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the predefined measurement relaxation parameters include a predefined measurement cycle extension factor, the UE performs the measurement based on the predefined measurement relaxation parameters and the measurement configuration information of the normal measurement state. The method for measuring relaxation may specifically include: determining the product of a predefined measurement period expansion factor and the measurement period in the normal measurement state as the measurement period in the relaxed measurement state, and performing relaxation measurement based on the measurement period in the relaxed measurement state.

And, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE may also calculate the measurement period in the normal measurement state based on the DRX cycle, MGRP (Measurement Gap Repeat Period).

And, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the UE performs measurement based on the measurement period, it can obtain a measurement result in a measurement period, wherein the measurement result is specifically obtained through multiple measurement sample points (that is, multiple SMTC ) from the evaluation.

Further, in yet another embodiment of the present disclosure, when the predefined measurement relaxation parameters include the predefined measurement frequency, the UE performs measurement relaxation based on the predefined measurement relaxation parameters and the measurement configuration information of the normal measurement state The method may specifically include: the UE performs measurement only for measurement identities that include a predefined measurement frequency, wherein each measurement identities are simultaneously connected to a measurement object and reporting configuration, and the UE may match the measurement object and report based on the measurement identities Configure to perform the corresponding measurements.

As an example, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, it is assumed that the predefined measurement frequency is 3 GHZ (megahertz). Then the UE may only perform measurement on the measurement identifier including the 3GHZ frequency band, and not perform measurement on the measurement identifiers including other frequency bands, so as to realize relaxed measurement.

For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, it is assumed that the number of measurement beams corresponding to the SSB-ToMeasure parameter in the normal measurement state is 32, and the number of measurement beams corresponding to the predefined SSB-ToMeasure parameter is 8. Then when the UE performs measurement relaxation based on the predefined SSB-ToMeasure parameter, the UE performs RRM measurement according to the predefined SSB-ToMeasure parameter 8.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, when the measurement relaxation parameters include predefined types of pilot signals that need to be measured, the UE performs measurement relaxation based on the predefined measurement relaxation parameters and the measurement configuration information of the normal measurement state The method may specifically include: replacing the types of pilot signals that need to be measured in a normal measurement state with predefined types of pilot signals that need to be measured. For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, it is assumed that the pilot signals that need to be measured in the normal measurement state are SSB and CSI-RS (Channel State Information Reference Signal, signal state indication reference signal), and the predefined pilot signals that need to be measured If the type of the pilot signal is SSB, when the UE performs measurement relaxation based on the type of the predefined pilot signal that needs to be measured, the UE can only measure the pilot signal SSB.
