技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其是涉及一种通信方法及装置。
背景技术
通信系统中,当终端设备处于空闲(idle)态或非活跃(inactive)态时,终端设备可以在满足放松测量条件时,执行放松测量(relaxed measurement),以放松对邻区的测量,从而降低功耗。终端设备也可以在进入连接(connected)态之前,提前进行对辅小区(secondary cell,SCell)和辅小区组(secondary cell group,SCG)小区的测量,以缩短添加Scell和SCG小区的时延,使得终端设备能够快速使能载波聚合(carrier aggregation,CA)或双连接(dual connectivity,DC)配置。
其中,放松测量条件可以包括低移动性准则和/或小区边缘准则。当终端设备位于服务小区的中心位置时,可以认为终端设备满足小区边缘准则。当终端设备的服务小区的信号质量在一定时间内的变化程度小于给定阈值时,可以认为终端按设备满足低移动性准则。
当终端设备进行业务传输时,对于放松测量,如果终端设备的服务小区的信号质量无法满足终端设备的业务需求,但是满足放松测量条件时,终端设备会执行放松测量,导致终端设备不能快速选到满足业务需求的小区,无法实现业务传输。
另外,当终端设备进行业务传输时,对于提前测量,如果终端设备提前测量的SCell和SCG小区不满足终端设备的业务需求,会导致终端设备在CA或DC场景下无法实现业务传输。
综上,如何在满足终端设备的业务需求的基础上实现放松测量或提前测量成为亟待解决的技术问题。

具体实施方式
在描述本申请实施例之前,对本申请实施例涉及的技术术语进行描述。
放松测量(relaxed measurement):当终端设备处于空闲(idle)态或非活跃(inactive)态时,终端设备可以周期性的对邻区进行测量。当终端设备的运行速度较低或者终端设备处于服务小区的中心位置时,终端设备的服务小区短时间内不会发生变化,不涉及小区重选,周期性的测量会造成功耗浪费。基于此,提出终端设备可以在满足放松测量条件时,执行放松测量,从而放松对邻区的测量,降低终端设备的功耗。
示例性的,如图1所示,终端设备可以按照默认周期对邻区进行测量,当满足放松测量条件时,终端设备可以延长测量周期,如按照大于默认周期的第一周期对邻区进行测量,当不满足放松测量条件时,终端设备可以重新按照默认周期对邻区进行测量。
可选的,放松测量条件包括下述一种或多种:小区边缘(cell edge)准则、低移动性(low mobility)准则。
小区边缘准则:当终端设备处于服务小区的中心位置时,服务小区的信号质量通常较好,终端设备的服务小区短时间内不会发生变化,可以考虑对邻区执行放松测量。
示例性的,终端设备可以在服务小区的信号质量大于或等于小区边缘准则门限时,考虑执行放松测量。
例如,以采用参考信号接收功率(reference signal received power,RSRP)来指示或衡量服务小区的信号质量为例,小区边缘准则门限可以是SSearchThresholdP,当服务小区的RSRP对应的S值大于或等于SSearchThresholdP时,可以认为满足小区边缘准则,终端设备可以考虑执行放松测量。
又例如,以采用参考信号接收质量(reference signal received quality,RSRQ)来指示或衡量服务小区的信号质量为例,小区边缘准则门限可以是SSearchThresholdQ,当服务小区的RSRQ对应的S值大于或等于SSearchThresholdQ时,可以认为满足小区边缘准则,终端设备可以执行放松测量。
其中,小区边缘准则门限可以是网络设备指示给终端设备的,也可以是协议预定义的,不予限制。
低移动性准则:当终端设备的移动速度较低时,可以认为终端设备的服务小区短时间内不会发生变化,从而可以考虑对邻区执行放松测量。或者也可以描述为:如果终端设备的服务小区的信号质量在一定时间段内的变化小于或等于预设阈值,可以认为满足低移动性准则,终端设备可以考虑执行放松测量。
例如,以采用RSRP来指示或衡量服务小区的信号质量为例,预设阈值可以为SSearchDeltaP,假设一定时间段为TSearchDeltaP,如果服务小区的RSRP在时间段TSearchDeltaP内的变化程度小于或等于SSearchDeltaP,可以认为满足低移动性准则,终端设备可以考虑执行放松测量。
其中,预设阈值可以是网络设备指示给终端设备的,也可以是协议预定义的,不予限制。
基于上述描述,网络设备可以为终端设备配置小区边缘准则作为放松测量条件,也可以配置低移动性准则作为放松测量条件,也可以同时配置小区边缘准则和低移动性准则作为放松测量条件。
示例性的,基于小区边缘准则和低移动性准则,可以将放松测量条件分成三类配置:
(a)类配置:配置了低移动性准则,未配置小区边缘准则;
(b)类配置:配置了小区边缘准则,未配置低移动性准则;
(c)类配置:既配置了低移动性准则又配置了小区边缘准则。
其中,如下述表1所示,(a)类配置可以包括条件1、条件2、条件6、条件7、条件8。如下述表2所示,(b)类配置可以包括条件3和条件6。如下述表3所示,(c)类配置可以包括条件1、条件2、条件3、条件4、条件5、条件6。
其中,对条件1至条件8的描述如下:
条件1:驻留到新小区后,启动同频/异频/异系统时间至少为TSearchDeltaP
条件2:在TSearchDeltaP时间内持续满足低移动性准则。
条件3:满足小区边缘准则。
条件4:驻留到新小区后,存在已经启动测量至少1h的同频/异频/异系统频点。
条件5:未配置需要联合考虑两个准则的信元(如combineRelaxedMeasCondition)。
条件6:服务小区的小区选择接收功率值(Srxlev)小于或等于小区重选异频测量门限。如果采用RSRP指示或衡量服务小区的信号质量,小区重选异频测量门限可以为SnonIntraSearchP。如果采用RSRQ指示或衡量服务小区的信号质量,小区重选异频测量门限可以为SnonIntraSearchQ。
条件7:驻留到新小区后,存在已经启动测量至少1小时(1h)的高优先级异频、异系统频点。
条件8:允许高优先级频点放松的信元(如highPriorityMeasRelax)设置为true。
其中,对于(a)类配置,如下述表1所示,当满足条件1和条件2时,终端设备可以对同频测量进行放松。当满足条件1、条件2、条件7和条件8时,终端设备可以对同频测量进行放松,也可以对满足条件7的高优先级频点进行放松。当满足条件1、条件2和条件6时,终端设备可以对同频测量进行放松,也可以对异频/异系统频点进行放松。
表1(a)类配置
其中,对于(b)类配置,如下述表2所示,当满足条件3时,终端设备可以对同频测量进行放松,当满足条件3和条件6时,终端设备可以对同频测量进行放松,也可以对异频/异系统频点进行放松。
表2(b)类配置
其中,对于(c)类配置,如下述表3所示,当满足条件1、条件2、条件3和条件4时,终端设备可以不用对同频/异频/异系统进行测量。当满足条件1、条件2、条件5和条件6时,终端设备可以对高/等/低优先级异频/异系统测量进行放松。当满足条件1、条件2和条件5时,终端设备可以对等/低优先级异频/异系统频点进行放松。
表3(c)类配置
需要说明的是,上述表1、表2和表3中“√”表示满足当前条件,“×”表示不满足当前条件,“NA”表示当前条件可以满足也可以不满足。
提前测量:传统的辅小区(secondary cell,SCell)和辅小区组(secondary cell group,SCG)小区的测量,是终端设备首先通过主小区(primary cell,PCell)接入网络进入连接态,然后网络设备再配置终端设 备增加SCell或SCG小区。但是传统的方法下,终端设备进入连接态时,未必有相关的SCell或SCG小区的测量结果,因此如果在终端设备进入连接态后,再要求终端设备执行SCell或SCG小区的测量,会导致SCell和SCG小区的添加过程的延迟较大。基于此,提出终端设备可以在空闲(idle)态或非活跃(inactive)态下提前按照网络设备的配置执行SCell或SCG小区的测量,待终端设备进入连接态后将前期测量结果(或者描述为提前测量结果)反馈给网络设备,从而减少添加SCell和SCG小区的时延,使得终端设备能够快速使能载波聚合(carrier aggregation,CA)或双连接(dual connectivity,DC)配置,快速提高终端设备的数据传输速率,增强用户体验。
其中,终端设备可以基于小区粒度向网络设备上报小区级提前测量结果,也可以基于波束粒度向网络设备上报波束级提前测量结果。
其中,终端设备可以根据波束级提前测量结果确定小区级提前测量结果。
示例性的,如图2所示,终端设备可以采用波束进行提前测量,得到波束级提前测量结果。当网络设备为终端设备配置的MeasObjectNR中存在nrofSS-BlocksToAverage和absThreshSS-BlocksConsolidation参数时,如果最强的波束级提前测量结果大于absThreshSS-BlocksConsolidation,则终端设备可以将超过absThreshSS-BlocksConsolidation的所有波束级提前测量结果进行排序并进行线性平均,将线性平均值作为小区级提前测量结果,其中,用于进行线性平均的波束级提前测量结果的数量小于或等于nrofSS-BlocksToAverage。如果最强的波束级提前测量结果小于或等于absThreshSS-BlocksConsolidation,则终端设备可以将最强的波束级提前测量结果作为小区级提前测量结果。当网络设备为终端设备配置的MeasObjectNR中不存在nrofSS-BlocksToAverage和absThreshSS-BlocksConsolidation参数时,终端设备可以将最强的波束级提前测量结果作为小区级提前测量结果。
终端设备确定小区级提前测量结果后,还可以对小区级提前测量结果进行排序,根据排序结果向网络设备上报小区级提前测量结果。
示例性的,如图2所示,如果报告数量(reportQuantities)的取值为RSRP,终端设备可以根据RSRP对小区级提前测量结果进行排序。如果reportQuantities的取值为RSRQ,终端设备可以根据RSRQ对小区级提前测量结果进行排序。
终端设备根据RSRP或RSRQ对小区级提前测量结果进行排序后,如图2所示,如果网络设备为终端设备配置的参数中存在质量阈值(qualityThreshold),终端设备可以向网络设备上报信号质量大于qualityThreshold的小区级提前测量结果,如果不存在信号质量大于qualityThreshold的小区级提前测量,则终端设备可以向网络设备上报频点下所有测量得到的小区级提前测量结果。
又一种示例中,如图3所示,如果网络设备为终端设备配置的参数中存在beamMeasConfigIdle信元,则终端设备可以向网络设备上报波束级提前测量结果。如果reportQuantityRS-Indexes的取值为RSRP,终端设备可以根据RSRP对波束级提前测量结果进行排序。如果reportQuantityRS-Indexes的取值为RSRQ,终端设备可以根据RSRQ对波束级提前测量结果进行排序。终端设备可以向网络设备上报排序后的波束级提前测量结果。
基于上述对放松测量和提前测量的描述,当终端设备进行业务传输时,对于放松测量,如果终端设备的服务小区的信号质量无法满足终端设备的业务需求,但是满足放松测量条件时,终端设备会执行放松测量,导致终端设备不能快速选到满足业务需求的小区,无法实现业务传输。对于提前测量,如果终端设备提前测量的SCell和SCG小区不满足终端设备的业务需求,会导致终端设备在CA或DC场景下无法实现业务传输。
综上,如何在满足终端设备的业务需求的基础上实现放松测量或提前测量成为亟待解决的技术问题。
为解决上述技术问题,本申请实施例提出,终端设备可以结合放松测量条件和终端设备的业务需求确定是否执行放松测量;也可以结合小区边缘准则门限和终端设备的业务需求确定是否满足小区边缘准则,进而确定是否执行放松测量。终端设备可以在满足业务需求的基础上实现放松测量,当终端设备的服务小区无法满足业务需求时,终端设备可以快速选到满足业务需求的小区,实现业务传输。
另外,终端设备也可以结合小区级提前测量结果和终端设备的业务需求向网络设备上报提前测量结果;也可以结合终端设备的业务需求进行提前测量并向网络设备上报提前测量结果。终端设备可以在满足终端设备的业务需求的基础上实现提前测量,保证终端设备提前测量的SCell和SCG小区可以满足终端设备的业务需求,进而可以在CA或DC场景下实现业务传输。

第一种可能的设计中,可以基于RSRP、RSRQ、SINR中的任意一种确定第一门限的具体取值。
例如,可以基于RSRP确定第一门限的具体取值,或者基于RSRQ确定第一门限的具体取值,或者基于SINR确定第一门限的具体取值。
基于第一种可能的设计,终端设备获取的第一门限可以是一个第一门限,也可以是多个第一门限。即终端设备获取的第一门限可以包括下述一个或多个:基于RSRP确定的第一门限、基于RSRQ确定的第一门限、基于SINR确定的第一门限。
第二种可能的设计中,可以基于RSRP、RSRQ、SINR中的任意两种确定第一门限的具体取值。
示例性的,可以采用设置权重系数的方式,基于RSRP、RSRQ、SINR中的任意两种确定第一门限的具体取值。
例如,以RSRP的权重系数为a、RSRQ的权重系数为b、SINR的权重系数为c为例,假设基于RSRP和RSRQ确定第一门限,则可以根据“a*RSRP+b*RSRQ”确定第一门限的具体取值,其中,a+b=1。假设基于RSRP和SINR确定第一门限,则可以根据“a*RSRP+c*SINR”确定第一门限的具体取值,其中,a+c=1。假设基于RSRQ和SINR确定第一门限,则可以根据“b*RSRQ+c*SINR”确定第一门限的具体取值,其中,b+c=1。

第三种可能的设计中,可以基于RSRP、RSRQ和SINR确定第一门限的具体取值。
示例性的,可以采用设置权重系数的方式,基于RSRP、RSRQ和SINR确定第一门限的具体取值。
例如,以RSRP的权重系数为a、RSRQ的权重系数为b、SINR的权重系数为c为例,可以根据“a*RSRP+b*RSRQ+c*SINR”确定第一门限的具体取值,其中,a+b+c=1。

其中,网络设备可以通过RRC释放信令向终端设备发送该终端设备对应的第一门限。网络设备也可以通过SIB11信令向一个或多个终端设备广播第一门限。
当网络设备通过RRC释放信令向终端设备发送第一门限时,网络设备可以根据该终端设备的业务需求为该终端设备确定第一门限。
当网络设备通过SIB11信令向多个终端设备广播第一门限时,网络设备确定的第一门限可以满足该多个终端设备的业务需求。
例如,网络设备可以根据多个终端设备中业务需求最强的终端设备确定第一门限,从而保证网络设备广播的第一门限可以满足该多个终端设备的业务需求。
需要说明的是,当网络设备通过RRC释放信令向终端设备发送第一门限时,终端设备可以根据RRC释放信令确定第一门限。当网络设备通过SIB11信令向终端设备发送第一门限时,终端设备可以根据SIB11信令确定第一门限。当网络设备通过RRC释放信令和SIB11信令向终端设备发送第一门限时,由于RRC释放信令中的第一门限是网络设备根据当前终端设备的业务需求确定的,所以终端设备根据RRC释放信令确定第一门限。
步骤602、当终端设备的服务小区的信号质量满足第一条件和第一门限时,终端设备进行放松测量。

其中,如果某一小区的负载大于预设负载,则可以表明当前小区负载较高,如果终端设备接入该小区,由于该小区的负载较高,可能会影响终端设备的通信质量,所以网络设备向终端设备指示白名单小区时,可以向终端设备指示负载小于或等于预设负载的小区,从而保证终端设备的通信质量。
又一种示例中,第一小区可以为信号质量大于或等于预设阈值的小区。
与上述负载类似,网络设备向终端设备指示白名单小区时,可以向终端设备指示信号质量小于或等于预设阈值的小区,从而保证终端设备的通信质量。
又一种示例中,第一小区可以为终端设备接入失败次数小于或等于预设次数的小区。
其中,如果终端设备在某一小区的历史接入失败次数大于预设次数,则可以表明该小区的信号质量可能无法满足终端设备的驻留需求,进而无法保证终端设备的正常通信,所以网络设备向终端设备指示白名单小区时,可以向终端设备指示终端设备接入失败次数小于或等于预设次数的小区,从而保证终端设备的正常通信。
又一种示例中,第一小区可以为与终端设备的业务类型关联的小区。
其中,网络设备向终端设备指示与终端设备的业务类型关联的小区,可以保证终端设备在接入该小区后,可以正常进行业务传输。
