在移动通信系统中,终端设备的移动导致其周围的信道状况时刻变化。为了支持终端设备的移动性,及时获得终端设备的服务小区以及周围小区的信道状况,网络配置终端设备进行无线资源管理(radio resource management,RRM)测量。在RRM测量过程中,网络向终端设备发送测量配置信息,终端设备根据测量配置信息的内容进行同频测量、异频测量或异系统测量,并在满足测量事件的小区数量大于配置数量时,终端设备将测量报告上报给网络。
但是,在终端设备高速移动的场景中,终端设备仅在满足测量事件的小区数量由从小于配置数量到大于或者等于配置数量时启动测量上报,而如果后续满足测量事件的小区数量持续大于或者等于配置数量,终端设备不会启动测量上报,这样,网络无法了解到满足测量事件的所有小区,存在“少报”、“漏报”等情况,从而影响测量上报的性能。

具体实施方式
这里将详细地对示例性实施例进行说明,其示例表示在附图中。下面的描述涉及附图时,除非另有表示,不同附图中的相同数字表示相同或相似的要素。以下示例性实施例中所描述的实施方式并不代表与本公开实施例相一致的所有实施方式。相反,它们仅是与如本公开实施例的一些方面相一致的装置和方法的例子。
在本公开实施例使用的术语是仅仅出于描述特定实施例的目的,而非旨在限制本公开实施例。在本公开实施例中所使用的单数形式的“一种”和“该”也旨在包括多数形式,除非上下文清楚地表示其他含义。还应当理解,本文中使用的术语“和/或”是指并包含一个或多个相关联的列出项目的任何或所有可能组合。
应当理解,尽管在本公开实施例可能采用术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”等来描述各种信息,但这些信息不应限于这些术语。这些术语仅用来将同一类型的信息彼此区分开。例如,在不脱离本公开实施例范围的情况下,“第一信息”也可以被称为“第二信息”,类似地,“第二信息”也可以被称为“第一信息”。取决于语境,如在此所使用的词语“如果”可以被解释成为“在……时”或“当……时”或“响应于确定”。
进一步地,在本公开实施例的描述中,“和/或”仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系。例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,在本公开实施例的描述中,“多个”可以指两个或多于两个。
本公开实施例提供的技术方案可以应用于通信设备间的无线通信。通信设备间的无线通信可以包括:网络设备和终端设备间的无线通信、网络设备和网络设备间的无线通信以及终端设备和终端设备间的无线通信。在本公开实施例中,术语“无线通信”还可以简称为“通信”,术语“通信”还可以描述为“数据传输”、“信息传输”或“传输”。
本公开实施例列举了多个实施方式以对本公开实施例的技术方案进行清晰地说明。当然,本领域内技术人员可以理解,本公开实施例提供的多个实施例,可以被单独执行,也可以与本公开实施例中其他实施例的方法结合后一起被执行,还可以单独或结合后与其他相关技术中的一些方法一起被执 行;本公开实施例并不对此作出限定。
在本公开实施例中,非服务小区也可以称为邻小区,邻小区也可以称为非服务小区。
本公开实施例提供一种通信系统。该通信系统可以为采用蜂窝移动通信技术的通信系统。图1为本公开实施例中的一种通信系统的结构示意图,参见图1所示,该通信系统10可以包括:终端设备11和网络设备12。
在一实施例中,上述终端设备11可以为一种向用户提供语音或者数据连接性的设备。在一些实施例中,终端设备也可以称为用户设备(user equipment,UE)、移动台(mobile station)、用户单元(subscriber unit)、站台(station)或者终端(terminal equipment,TE)等。终端设备可以为蜂窝电话(cellular phone)、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、无线调制解调器(modem)、手持设备(handheld)、膝上型电脑(laptop computer)、无绳电话(cordless phone)、无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)台或者平板电脑(pad)等。随着无线通信技术的发展,可以接入通信系统、可以与通信系统的网络侧进行通信或者通过通信系统与其他设备进行通信的设备都是本公开实施例中的终端设备。例如,智能交通中的终端设备和汽车、智能家居中的家用设备、智能电网中的电力抄表仪器、电压监测仪器、环境监测仪器、智能完全网络中的视频监控仪器、收款机等。在本公开实施例中,终端设备可以与网络设备进行通信,多个终端设备之间也可以进行通信。终端设备可以是静态固定的,也可以移动的。在本公开实施例中,以终端设备为UE为例进行说明。
上述网络设备12可以为接入网侧的用于支持终端设备接入通信系统的设备。例如,可以是4G接入技术通信系统中的演进型基站(evolved NodeB,eNB)、5G接入技术通信系统中的下一代基站(next generation nodeB,gNB)、发送接收点(transmission reception point,TRP)、中继节点(relay node)、接入点(access point,AP)等。
在上述通信系统10中,终端设备(如UE)的移动导致其周围的信道状况时刻变化。为了支持UE的移动性及时获得UE周围小区的信道状况,网络设备配置UE进行RRM测量。空闲态(idle)及非激活态(inactive)的UE基于RRM测量的测量结果自主进行小区选择或小区重选,而连接态(connected)UE将RRM测量结果上报给网络设备,以辅助网络设备进行小区切换的判决。在连接态UE的测量过程中,网络设备(如基站)通过无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令向连接态UE发送测量配置信息,UE根据测量配置信息的内容进行同频测量、异频测量或者异系统测量,然后UE将测量结果上报给网络设备。
在一些可能的实施方式中,测量的触发上报类型(如reportType参数或triggerType参数)可以为基于事件触发上报(eventTriggered或event)。
示例性的,5G通信系统中支持的RRM事件(也可以称为测量事件、上报事件等)包括:Event A1、Event A2、Event A3、Event A4、Event A5、Event A6以及异系统的Event B1、Event B2事件。当然,本公开实施例所述的通信系统还可以支持其他RRM事件,对此不做具体限定。
Event A1:服务小区测量结果大于门限;
Event A2:服务小区测量结果小于门限;
Event A3:邻小区测量结果优于特殊小区(SpCell)(可以是主服务小区(PCell)或主辅小区(PSCell)) 测量结果;
Event A4:邻小区测量结果大于门限;
Event A5:SpCell(可以是PCell或PSCell)测量结果小于门限1,同时邻小区测量结果大于门限2;
Event A6:邻小区测量结果优于某辅服务小区(SCell)测量结果;
Event B1:异系统邻小区测量结果大于门限;
Event B2:主服务小区(PCell)测量结果小于门限1,同时异系统邻小区测量结果大于门限2。
在一实施例中,基于事件触发上报可以分为事件触发一次上报以及事件触发周期性上报。
当事件触发一次上报时,UE仅当满足网络配置的测量事件进入门限并持续一段时间后,才会触发测量报告的上报,测量报告发送一次后流程结束。此时,网络设备为UE配置的测量上报配置为:触发类型(triggertype)为“事件(event)”;A1至A6或B1至B2中的一种测量事件及其门限参数;上报次数等于1;UE忽略上报间隔配置。
当事件触发周期性上报时,UE仅当满足网络配置的测量事件进入门限并持续一段时间后,才会触发测量报告的上报,上报被触发后,会开启多次测量之间的定时器以及测量次数的计数器,直至上报次数达到要求后流程结束。此时,网络设备为UE配置的测量上报配置为:触发类型为“事件”;A1至A6或B1至B2中的一种测量事件及其门限参数;上报次数大于1;上报间隔有效,并按照配置的间隔参数设置上报周期定时器。
随着全球对以无人机(unmanned aerial vehicle,UAV)为基础的服务的兴趣急剧增加,包括多种无人机操作、飞行体验的个人娱乐、货物投递等。作为这些服务的基础,远程控制和数据传输能力是增强的关键方面,这是服务提供商/运营商以及无人机制造商感兴趣的。
由于空中UE(如UVA)与很多基站之间存在视距连接,所以可能会对邻区造成较强的干扰,或是受到邻区的干扰。干扰检测既可以在基站中进行,也可以由UE进行估计。在基于基站的检测中,基站必须与邻近的小区进行协商,并收集来自邻近小区的干扰,以便知道空中UE已经开始干扰多个小区。虽然这种方法更准确,但需要实时性差,时延高,需要基站之间进行信令交互。因此,采用基于UE的方案。UE可以通过对邻小区进行下行测量来估计对其他小区的干扰。如果存在上下行的互易性,那么基于测量进行估计是一个很好的方法。但是由于空中UE可能会对多个邻区造成干扰,那么,可能会增加测量上报的频率。为了解决测量报告频繁触发的问题,UE可以在满足测量事件的小区满足配置的小区数量后再触发测量上报,从而减少测量报告触发次数。
但是,在相应的测量上报流程中,只有在满足测量事件的小区的数量从小于配置数量到大于或者等于配置数量时,才会触发测量上报。即使后续满足测量事件的小区的数量持续大于配置数量,UE也不会触发测量上报,这样,网络将无法了解到满足测量事件的所有小区,存在“少报”、“漏报”的情况发生。即存在一些小区虽然满足了触发条件,但是没有触发相应的测量上报。如此,影响测量上报的性能,进而影响干扰检测的性能。
为了解决上述技术问题,本公开实施例提供一种测量上报方法,该方法可以应用于上述通信系统的UE侧。
图2为本公开实施例中的一种测量上报方法的实施流程示意图,参见图2,上述方法可以包括:S201至S204。
S201,UE接收网络设备(如基站)发送的测量配置信息。
可以理解的,网络设备为UE配置用于小区测量的配置信息,即测量配置信息。示例性的,网络设备可以将测量配置信息承载于RRC信令中发送给UE。
示例性的,测量配置信息还可以包括:测量对象、上报配置以及关联测量对象和上报配置的测量标识等。其中,上报配置中可以包括测量事件、最大上报次数、上报周期等参数。
S202,UE根据测量配置信息,进行RRM测量。
可以理解的,UE根据测量配置信息进行RRM测量,以获得UE关联的至少一个小区的测量结果。这些测量结果能够辅助网络进行切换判决。
S203,UE确定满足测量事件的第一小区。
其中,第一小区是指满足测量事件的小区(也可以描述为触发小区(TriggeringCells))。第一小区可以为UE的服务小区,也可以为UE的邻小区(也称为非服务小区)。示例性的,第一小区包含于第一触发小区列表,如表示为cellsTriggeredList。
这里,测量事件可以为上述Event A1至A6以及Event B1至B2中的至少一个。示例性的,测量事件可以为Event A3、Event A4或Event A5。当然,测量事件并不限于上述事件,对于具体的测量事件,本公开实施例不做限定。
可以理解的,在UE通过S202得到至少一个小区测量结果后,UE可以判断这些测量结果满足哪个测量事件,即确定触发某一个测量事件的测量结果,并将满足测量事件的测量结果所对应的小区确定为第一小区。
S204,UE至少根据第一小区中的第二小区,启动测量上报。
其中,第二小区为第一小区中的在上一次测量上报时未上报的小区,即本次测量到的未上报小区(以下简称未上报小区)。第二小区可以为UE的服务小区,也可以为UE的邻小区。示例性的,第二小区包含于第二触发小区列表,如表示为newcellsTriggeredList。
需要说明的是,上述上一次测量上报时未上报的小区可以理解为UE在历史测量上报中从未上报过的小区,也即当前的上报是初次上报,或者UE在历史测量上报中曾经上报过,但在上一次测量上报中未上报过的小区。
在一种实施例中,在此测量标识对应的初次上报的情况下,或之前相应的测量标识(或者此测量上报流程)没触发过测量上报,那么,满足测量事件的小区均为未上报小区,也就是说,第一小区均可以理解为第二小区。
在一些可能的实施方式中,在S203之后,UE还可以将第一小区与上一次测量上报的小区进行比较,确定未上报小区,即第二小区。这里,第二小区也可以理解为本次测量上报相较于上一次测量上报的新增的满足测量事件的小区或者小区增量。
可以理解的是,UE在确定出第一小区后,进一步从第一小区中确定出第二小区,然后,UE至少根据第二小区的情况,启动测量上报。这样,UE便能够向网络设备上报所有满足测量事件的小区测量结 果,网络设备能够更全面的了解UE的服务小区和/或邻小区的信道情况,进而提高小区切换、干扰检测、干扰协调等流程的准确性,提高系统性能。
在一些可能的实施方式中,S204可以存在且不限于存在以下三种情况中的至少之一:
第一种情况,在第一小区中存在第二小区,且第一小区的数量大于或者等于第一阈值时,UE启动测量上报。
相应的,图3为本公开实施例中的一种测量上报方法的实施流程示意图,参见图3,在S203之后,上述方法还包括:S301至S303。
S301,UE确定第一小区中是否存在第二小区;
S302,UE确定第一小区的数量是否大于或者等于第一阈值;
这里,第一阈值可以理解为满足测量事件的小区的数量的最小值。第一阈值可以由网络设备为UE配置。在一实施例中,第一阈值包含于测量配置信息中发送给UE。示例性的,第一阈值可以表示为numberOfTriggeringCells。
S303,若两者均为是,则UE启动测量上报。
可以理解的,UE可以先确定第一小区中是否存在第二小区,以及确定第一小区的数量是否大于或者等于第一阈值;若两者均为是,即第一小区中存在第二小区,且第一小区的数量大于第一阈值,则UE启动测量上报,反之,UE不启动测量上报。也就是说,UE在确定第一小区之后,可以确定第一小区中是否存在上一次测量上报未上报的小区,即是否存在第二小区。如果存在第二小区,则表示本次测量结果中,存在新增的满足测量事件的小区。同时,UE根据测量结果确定第一小区的数量是否大于或者等于(也可以描述为“不小于”)第一阈值。若是,则表示满足测量事件的小区达到一定数量,此时,UE启动测量上报。由此可见,UE在本次测量到了未上报小区,且满足测量事件的小区的总数大于或者等于第一阈值的情况下,启动测量上报。需要说明的是,S301与S302可以先后执行,也可以同时执行,本公开实施例对此不作具体限定。
示例性的,UE测量得到满足测量事件的小区(即第一小区)为cell A、cell B、cell C以及cell D,其中,cell D为上一次测量上报中未上报的小区(即第二小区)。测量配置信息中携带的numberOfTriggeringCells为2。那么,UE通过S301确定第一小区中存在未上报的小区,即cell D。并且,UE通过S302确定第一小区的数量大于2。如此,UE启动测量上报。
示例性的,上述方法可以采用下列流程中的部分或全部来实现:
1、针对于存储测量配置的第一UE变量(如VarMeasConfig)的测量标识列表(如measIdList)中的每一个测量标识(如measId)
2、如果上报类型设置为由事件触发(eventTriggered),且如果对应的上报配置包括第一阈值(如numberOfTriggeringCells),且如果一个或者多个适用的小区在第一UE变量中为该事件(即第一UE变量中对应的上报配置中事件标识对应的事件)定义的触发时长(如timeToTrigger)期间进行的层3(L3)滤波后的测量值满足适用于该事件的进入条件:
3、如果存储测量报告列表的第二UE变量(如VarMeasReportList)中不包括该测量标识的测量值的上报条目(measurement reporting entry)(第一次有小区触发这个事件):
4、在第二UE变量中包括该测量标识的测量值的上报条目;
3、在第二UE变量中为该测量标识定义的第一触发小区列表(如cellsTriggeredList)中包括相关的小区,即第一小区;
3、如果第一触发小区列表中的小区数目大于或者等于第一阈值:
5、设置第二UE变量中为该测量标识定义的用于统计测量上报的次数的第一计数值(如numberOfReportsSent)为0;
5、启动测量上报流程。
第二种情况,当第一小区中第二小区的数量大于或者等于第二阈值时,UE启动测量上报。
相应的,图4为本公开实施例中的一种测量上报方法的实施流程示意图,参见图4,在S203之后,上述方法还包括:S401至S402。
S401,UE确定第一小区中第二小区的数量是否大于或者等于第二阈值;
这里,第二阈值可以理解为未上报小区的最小值,也可以理解为启动测量上报的未上报小区的数量的最小值。第二阈值可以由网络设备为UE配置。在一实施例中,第二阈值包含于测量配置信息中发送给UE。示例性的,第二阈值可以表示为numberOfNewTriggeringCells。
S402,若是,则UE启动测量上报。
可以理解的,UE可以先确定第一小区的第二小区的数量,并确定第二小区的数量是否大于或者等于第二阈值,即未上报小区的数量是否满足第二阈值;若是,则UE启动测量上报,反之,UE不启动测量上报。也就是说,UE在确定第一小区之后,可以确定第一小区中上一次测量上报未上报的小区,即第二小区的数量。若第二小区的数量大于或者等于第二阈值,则表示本次测量结果中新增的满足测量事件的小区达到一定数量,此时,UE启动测量上报。由此可见,UE在未上报小区的数量大于或者等于第二阈值的情况下,启动测量上报,如此,进一步减少上报频率,节省UE功耗。
示例性的,UE测量得到满足测量事件的小区(即第一小区)为cell A、cell B、cell C以及cell D,其中,cell A、cell C和cell D为上一次测量上报中未上报的小区(即第二小区)。测量配置信息中携带的第二阈值(numberOfNewTriggeringCells)为3。那么,UE通过S401确定第一小区中未上报的小区的数量为3,即cell A、cell C和cell D。然后,UE通过S402确定第二小区的数量等于3。如此,UE启动测量上报。
在一实施例中,如果一个或者多个小区满足某一事件(或者满足某一事件的进入条件),且上报配置中包括第二阈值,第二触发小区列表中包括相应的小区,即第二小区。
在一实施例中,如果第二触发小区列表中的小区数目大于或者等于第二阈值,则执行以下至少之一:
设置相应的测量标识对应的第一计数值为0,其中第一计数值用于统计测量上报的次数;
启动测量上报流程;
删除第二触发列表中所有的小区。
在另一实施例中,如果第二触发小区列表中的小区不满足某一事件(或者满足某一事件的离开条件),则删除第二UE变量中为该测量标识定义的第二触发小区列表中的相关小区。
示例性的,上述方法可以采用下列流程中的部分或全部来实现:
1、针对于存储测量配置的第一UE变量(如VarMeasConfig)的测量标识列表(如measIdList)中的每一个测量标识:
2、如果上报类型设置为由事件触发(eventTriggered),且如果对应的上报配置包括第二阈值(如numberOfNewTriggeringCells),且如果一个或者多个适用的小区在第一UE变量中为该事件(即第一UE变量中对应的上报配置中事件标识对应的事件)定义的触发时长(如timeToTrigger)期间进行的层3(L3)滤波后的所有测量值满足适用于该事件的进入条件:
3、如果存储测量报告列表的第二UE变量(如VarMeasReportList)中不包括该测量标识的测量值的上报条目(measurement reporting entry)(第一次有小区触发这个事件):
4、在第二UE变量中包括该测量标识的测量值的上报条目;
3、在第二UE变量中为该测量标识定义的第一触发小区列表(如cellsTriggeredList)中包括相关的小区,即第一小区;
3、在第二UE变量中为该测量标识定义的第二触发小区列表(如newCellsTriggeredList)中包括相关的小区,即第二小区;
3、如果第二触发小区列表中的小区数目大于或者等于第二阈值(numberOfNewTriggeringCells):
5、设置第二UE变量中为该测量标识定义的用于统计测量上报的次数的第一计数值(如numberOfReportsSent)为0;
5、启动测量上报流程;
5、删除第二UE变量中为该测量标识定义的第二触发小区列表中所有的小区;
2、否则如果上报类型设置为由事件触发(eventTriggered),且如果第二触发小区列表(newCellsTriggeredList)中包括的一个或者多个小区在第一UE变量中为该事件(即第一UE变量中对应的上报配置中事件标识对应的事件)定义的触发时长期间进行的层3(L3)滤波后的所有测量值满足适用于该事件的离开条件:
3、删除第二UE变量中为该测量标识定义的第二触发小区列表中的相关小区。
第三种情况,在第一小区的数量大于或者等于第一阈值,且第一小区中第二小区的数量大于或者等于第二阈值时,UE启动测量上报。
相应的,图5为本公开实施例中的一种测量上报方法的实施流程示意图,参见图5,在S203之后,上述方法还包括:S501至S503。
S501,UE确定第一小区的数量是否大于或者等于第一阈值;
S502,UE确定第一小区中第二小区的数量是否大于或者等于第二阈值;
这里,第一阈值可以理解为满足测量事件的小区的数量的最小值。第一阈值可以由网络设备为UE配置。在一实施例中,第一阈值包含于测量配置信息中发送给UE。示例性的,第一阈值可以表示为numberOfTriggeringCells。
S503,若两者均为是,则UE启动测量上报。
可以理解的,UE可以确定第一小区的数量是否大于或者等于第一阈值,以及第一小区中第二小区的数量是否大于或者等于第二小区;若两者均为是,则UE启动测量上报,反之,UE不启动测量上报。也就是说,UE在确定第一小区之后,可以根据测量结果确定第一小区的数量是否大于或者等于(也可以描述为据测量结果确定第一小,以及UE可以根据测量结果确定第一小区中的第二小区,进而确定第二小区的数量是否大于或者等于(也可以描述为“不小于”)第二阈值。若两者均为是,则UE启动测量上报。由此可见,UE在本次测量中满足测量事件的小区的总数大于或者等于第一阈值,且本次测量到了未上报小区的数量大于或者等于第二阈值的情况下,启动测量上报,如此,能够进一步降低测量上报频率,节约功耗。
需要说明的是,S501与S502可以先后执行,也可以同时执行,本公开实施例对此不作具体限定。
示例性的,UE测量得到满足测量事件的小区(即第一小区)为cell A、cell B、cell C以及cell D,其中,cell C和cell D为上一次测量上报中未上报的小区(即第二小区)。测量配置信息中携带的numberOfTriggeringCells为2,numberOfNewTriggeringCells为2。那么,UE通过S502确定第一小区的数量大于2,并通过S502确定第一小区中未上报的小区的数量大于2,即cell C和cell D。如此,UE启动测量上报。
在一实施例中,第一阈值与第二阈值可以为两个不同的参数。其中,当第二阈值为1时,则第二小区的数量大于或者等于第二阈值可以理解为第一小区中存在第二小区。那么,上述第一种情况还可以描述为“在第一小区中第二小区的数量大于1(即第二阈值取值为1),且第一小区的数量大于或等于第一阈值时,UE启动测量上报”。
在另一实施例中,第一阈值与第二阈值可以为同一个参数。此时,第一阈值与第二阈值的取值相同。相应的,测量配置信息中可以仅包括一个参数(如第一阈值),以同时指示第一阈值与第二阈值。
当然,UE还可以基于第二小区的其他情况启动测量上报,本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。上述情况仅为S204的示例,每种情况均可以独立实现,也可以组合实现。
在一些可能的实施方式中,本公开实施例所述的“启动测量上报”还可以描述为“触发测量上报流程”。
在一实施例中,上述“启动测量上报”可以包括:UE向网络设备发送本次测量的测量报告。可选的,上述测量报告可以包括第一小区的测量结果或者第二小区的测量结果。
可选的,响应于上述测量报告包括第二小区的测量结果,UE向网络设备发送测量报告可以理解为仅上报或者优先上报第二小区的测量结果。
可以理解的,测量报告包括第二小区的测量结果可以理解为网络设备为UE配置了第一阈值和/或第二阈值。那么,响应于上报配置中配置了第一阈值和/或第二阈值,UE可以仅上报第二小区的测量结果。
在一实施例中,如果上报配置包括第一阈值或第二阈值,则在测量结果中包括第二触发小区列表中所包含的小区,即第二小区。
示例性的,上述方法可以采用下列流程中的部分或全部来实现:
1、如果存在至少一个适用的邻小区:
2、如果上报类型被设置为由事件触发(eventTriggered)或周期性触发(periodical):
3、设置邻小区测量结果(如measResultNeighCells)中包括按照以下规则确定的最优邻小区,最优邻小区的数量不大于最大上报小区数(如maxReportCells):
4、如果上报类型被设置为由事件触发:
5、如果对应的上报配置(reportConfig)包括第一阈值(numberOfTriggeringCells)或第二阈值(numberOfNewTriggeringCells):
6、包括存储测量报告列表的第二UE变量(如VarMeasReportList)中为测量标识(measId)定义的第二触发小区列表(newCellsTriggeredList)中所包含的小区,或者包括第二UE变量中为测量标识的定义的第一触发小区列表(cellsTriggeredList)中所包含的自上一个周期性上报或者自启动或者重启测量之后新的测量结果可用的小区;
5、否则:
6、包括第二UE变量中为测量标识的定义的第一触发小区列表中所包含的小区;
4、否则:
5、包括自上一个周期性上报或者自启动或者重启测量之后新的测量结果可用的小区。
在另一实施例中,响应于上报配置中配置了第一阈值和/或第二阈值,UE还可以优先上报第二小区的测量结果。这里,优先上报可以理解为UE可以根据上报小区最大值(例如,maxReportCells)优先将第二小区中测量结果最优的至少一个小区的测量结果向网络设备上报。
示例性的,假设上报小区最大值为4,即UE最多可以上报4个小区的测量结果。那么,UE测量得到满足测量事件的小区(即第一小区)为5个小区,其中有4个小区为第二小区。此时,UE可以将4个第二小区的测量结果上报给网络设备。或者,UE测量得到满足测量事件的小区(即第一小区)为5个小区,其中有3个小区为第二小区。此时,UE可以从第一小区中除第二小区以外的2个小区中确定测量结果最优的1个小区,并将这1个第一小区的测量结果和3个第二小区的测量结果一起上报给网络设备。再者,UE测量得到满足测量事件的小区(即第一小区)为7个小区,其中有5个小区为第二小区。此时,UE可以从第二小区中确定测量结果最优的4个小区,并将这4个第二小区的测量结果上报给网络设备。当然,上述仅为UE优先上报第二小区的测量结果的几种示例,还可以存在其他情况,本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。
在一些可能的实施方式中,在UE通过S204启动测量上报的情况下,UE还可以将第一计数值重新置为0。这里,第一计数值用于统计测量上报的次数。
其中,第一计数值可以理解为UE自身维护的发送测量报告的次数的计数器,每发送一个测量报告,第一计数值加1。示例性的,第一计数值可以表示为VarMeasReportList中的numberOfReportsSent参数。
可以理解的,在S204中,UE至少根据第二小区启动测量上报,也就是说,满足测量事件的小区的数量在持续增加。此时,UE需要将发送的报告数重新置0,以实现UE的持续上报。
在一些可能的实施方式中,在UE通过S204启动测量上报的情况下,UE还可以执行以下至少一 个步骤:
1、发送的报告数的值加1;
2、如果周期上报定时器正在运行,则停止;
3、当发送的报告数的值小于网络配置的最大上报次数时,启动周期上报定时器;
4、发送测量报告给网络。
当然,UE根据网络设备的测量配置,还可以执行其他步骤,本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。
下面以具体示例来对上述方法进行说明。

S605,UE确定第一小区的数量是否大于或者等于第一阈值;
S606,若第一小区中存在第二小区,且第一小区的数量大于或者等于第一阈值,则UE启动测量上报。
需要说明的是,S604和S605可以先后执行,也可以同时执行,本公开实施例对此不做限定。
在本公开实施例中,S601至S606的具体执行过程可以参见图2至图3实施例中UE侧方法步骤的描述,为说明书简洁,在此不做具体限定。
在本公开实施例中,S601至S606中的每一步可以独立执行,也可以组合执行,任一组合方式均在本公开的保护范围内。

S702,UE根据测量配置信息,进行RRM测量;
S703,UE根据测量结果,确定满足测量事件的第一小区;
S704,UE确定第一小区中第二小区的数量是否大于或者等于第二阈值(或第一阈值);
S705,若第二小区的数量大于或者等于第二阈值(或第一阈值),则UE启动测量上报。
需要说明的是,S701至S705的具体执行过程可以参见图2和图4实施例中UE侧方法步骤的描述,为说明书简洁,在此不做具体限定。
在本公开实施例中,S701至S705中的每一步可以独立执行,也可以组合执行,任一组合方式均在本公开的保护范围内。

S805,UE确定第一小区中第二小区的数量是否大于或者等于第二阈值;
S806,若第一小区的数量大于或者等于第一阈值,且第二小区的数量大于或者等于第二阈值,则UE启动测量上报。
需要说明的是,S804和S805可以先后执行,也可以同时执行,本公开实施例对此不做具体限定。
在本公开实施例中,S801至S806的具体执行过程可以参见图2和图5实施例中UE侧方法步骤的描述,为说明书简洁,在此不做具体限定。
在本公开实施例中,S801至S806中的每一步可以独立执行,也可以组合执行,任一组合方式均在本公开的保护范围内。
至此,便完成了UE侧进行测量上报的流程。
在本公开实施例中,在满足测量事件的第一小区中确定上一次测量上报时未上报的小区,即新增的满足测量事件的小区,然后,基于新增的小区启动测量上报,如此,当测量到未上报小区之后,终端设备可以决策启动测量上报,以向网络全面上报终端设备关联小区的测量报告,使得网络能够更加全面的了解到终端设备关联小区的信道状况,提高系统性能。
在一些可能的实施方式中,本公开实施例还提供一种测量上报方法,该方法可以应用于上述通信系统中的网络设备侧。
图9为本公开实施例中的一种测量上报方法的实施流程示意图,参见图9,上述方法可以包括:S901至S903。
S901,网络设备(如基站)为UE配置测量配置信息。
可以理解的,网络设备为UE配置用于小区测量的配置信息,即测量配置信息。示例性的,测量配置信息可以包括:测量事件、最大上报次数、上报周期等参数。
在一些可能的实施方式中,测量配置信息中可以包括以下至少之一:第一阈值和第二阈值。
在一实施例中,第一阈值与第二阈值可以为两个不同的参数。第二阈值的取值小于或者等于第一阈值的取值。第二阈值的取值为大于或者等于1的整数,第一阈值的取值为大于或者等于2的整数。其中,当第二阈值为1时,则第二小区的数量大于或者等于第二阈值可以理解为第一小区中存在第二小区。那么,上述第一种情况还可以描述为“在第一小区中第二小区的数量大于1(即第二阈值取值为1),且第一小区的数量大于或等于第一阈值时,UE启动测量上报”。
在另一实施例中,第一阈值与第二阈值可以为同一个参数。此时,第一阈值与第二阈值的取值相同。相应的,测量配置信息中可以仅包括一个参数(如第一阈值),以同时指示第一阈值与第二阈值。

示例性的,网络设备可以将测量配置信承载于RRC信令中发送给UE。

在一些可能的实施方式中,响应于测量配置信息包括第二阈值和/或第一阈值,在S901中,网络设备将最大上报次数配置为1,也可以理解为网络设备只能将最大上报次数配置为1。
在一些可能的实施方式中,响应于测量配置信息包括第二阈值和/或第一阈值,在S901中,测量配置信息中不包括用于指示在满足离开条件时触发上报的参数,例如reportonleave。也可以理解为,测量配置信息中不能包括用于指示在满足离开条件时触发上报的参数。
需要说明的是,S901至S903的具体实施过程可以参见上述图2至图8实施例中对网络设备侧执行流程的描述,为了说明书简洁,在此不做赘述。
至此,便完成了网络设备侧进行测量上报的流程。
在本公开实施例中,在满足测量事件的第一小区中确定上一次测量上报时未上报的小区,即新增的满足测量事件的小区,然后,基于新增的小区启动测量上报,如此,当测量到未上报小区之后,终端设备可以决策启动测量上报,使得网络能够接收到所有终端设备关联小区的测量报告,使得网络能够更加全面的了解到终端设备关联小区的信道状况,提高系统性能。
