Detailed ways

Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with aspects of the disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

In order to facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, some terms used in the embodiments of the present application are explained below to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art.

1) User equipment

User equipment includes equipment that provides voice and/or data connectivity to users. Specifically, it includes equipment that provides voice to users, or includes equipment that provides data connectivity to users, or includes equipment that provides voice and data connectivity to users. equipment. This may include, for example, a handheld device with wireless connectivity, or a processing device connected to a wireless modem. As a way, the user equipment may include user equipment (UE), wireless user equipment, mobile user equipment, or user equipment (user device), etc.

2) Network side equipment

The network side equipment is also called the wireless access network equipment. The network side equipment is a device that connects the user equipment to the wireless network. It can include access network equipment, core network equipment, and service provider equipment (such as servers). For example, the network side equipment includes but is not limited to: transmission point (TRP), base station (such as gNB), radio network controller (RNC), node B (NB), base station controller (BSC), BTS (base transceiver station), HeNB (home evolved NodeB), or HNB (home NodeB), baseband unit (BBU), etc.

3)Dual connection architecture

A network architecture. In the DC architecture, user equipment in a connected state can maintain connection and communication with at least two different access network devices at the same time, and can utilize the wireless resources of two different access network devices. Two different One of the access network devices is the master node (Master Node, Main Node or Primary Node, MN or PN), and the other is the secondary node (Secondary Node, SN). The MN and SN are connected to the same core network device. Compared with SN, MN can provide signaling control functions for user equipment to access the network. The cell group on the MN side is the main cell group (Master Cell Group, Main Cell Group, or Primary Cell Group, MCG or PCG). MCG includes a primary cell (PCell) and M secondary cells (SCell), M≥0. The cell group on the SN side is the Secondary Cell Group (SCG). The SCG includes a primary and secondary cell (PSCell) and N secondary cells (Secondary Cell, SCell), N≥0.

Among them, PCell is the cell that user equipment initially accesses on the MN side. In MCG, PCell and SCell work on different carriers and are united through carrier aggregation (CA) technology. Similarly, PSCell is the cell that user equipment initially accesses on the SN side. PSCell and SCell in SCG work on different carriers and are united through CA technology.

Currently, when performing cell handover, the network side equipment will configure the user equipment to perform measurements, and send a handover request to the target cell based on the measurement results reported by the user equipment. After the target cell confirms, it can send a handover command to the user equipment. This command can It carries the configuration information of the target cell; the user equipment can perform handover through synchronous reconfiguration (Reconfiguration with sync). In addition, after the user equipment receives the handover command, it can synchronize with the target cell and initiate a random access process to access the target cell.

In order to improve the robustness of cell handover, 5G proposes conditional handover (CHO), that is, the network side device can configure the CHO handover command for the user equipment in advance. The CHO handover command can include the handover target cell configuration and handover Triggering conditions. The handover target cell configuration includes a reconfiguration message provided for the target cell, and the reconfiguration message may be an RRC reconfiguration message (RRCReconfiguration). The user equipment can store the CHO switching command it receives. On this basis, the user equipment can perform RRM (Radio Resource Management) measurements to determine whether it meets the handover conditions. When it is determined that the handover triggering condition is met, the user equipment can perform a cell handover operation by itself, and the cell handover operation can be implemented by performing synchronous reconfiguration. This can avoid wireless link failure caused by the base station sending the handover command too late.

Existing handover conditions may include A3 events and A5 events, where the A3 event means that the channel quality of the neighboring cell is higher than the channel quality of the serving cell, and the difference between the two is greater than a certain value. The serving cell may be where the user equipment currently resides. The remaining cell; the A5 event is that the channel quality of the neighboring cell is higher than the first threshold, and the channel quality of the serving cell is lower than the second threshold, and the first threshold can be greater than the second threshold. In addition, the switching conditions may also include the distance and time between the user equipment and the reference point, where the reference point may be an absolute geographical location configured with a base station.

In some embodiments, the network side device can configure one or more handover conditions for a certain target cell. When multiple handover conditions are configured, handover to the target cell can be triggered when the multiple handover conditions are satisfied.

From the above introduction, we know that in dual connectivity, user equipment can maintain connections with two cell groups. The two cell groups can be a primary cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG) respectively. Among them, there can be a primary cell (PCell) in the primary cell group, which serves as the primary cell of the primary cell group and provides connection management and access control for the primary cell group; there is a primary and secondary cell (PSCell) of the SCG group in the secondary cell group. , as the primary cell of the secondary cell group, provides connection management and access control for the secondary cell group.

At present, condition-based PSCell addition (Conditional PScell Additional, CPA) and condition-based PSCell change (Conditional PSCell Change, CPC) processes similar to CHO have been introduced. When the conditions are met, the user device can perform PSCell addition or PSCell change on its own. In all embodiments of the present disclosure, condition-based PSCell changes may be referred to as CPC changes or CPC, and SCG changes may include the PSCell changes. The user equipment can store the CHO/CPA/CPC commands and conditions it receives locally and evaluate the stored conditions. After determining that CHO/CPA/CPC meets the conditions, the user equipment can execute the CHO/CPA/CPC corresponding command. In addition, the user device can delete its stored CHO/CPA/CPC commands and conditions after successfully executing the command. In a possible implementation, the network-side device does not configure both CPA and CPC commands for the user device. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the CHO/CPA/CPC condition is also called a reconfiguration condition, or a switching condition, or a condition. CHO/CPA/CPC refers to at least one of CHO, CPA and CPC.

In order to quickly switch between different PSCells, after the user equipment successfully performs PSCell addition or PSCell change, it can continue to retain the stored CPA/CPC commands and conditions, and the UE can maintain only one MCG/Pcell and one SCG/PSCell.

After the user device performs a PSCell add or PSCell change operation, it will continue to retain the stored CPA/CPC commands. In this case, the user device may have been configured with SCG. At this time, the user device will also evaluate the conditions of its stored CPA. to determine whether the current status meets the CPA conditions; however, even if the CPA conditions are met, the user device cannot add PSCell. In addition, even if the user equipment is not configured with SCG, it will evaluate the conditions of the stored CPC. At this time, even if the CPC meets the conditions, the user equipment cannot make PSCell changes (also called SCG changes). Doing so will cause the user device to waste power during the evaluation process and cause the user device to behave incorrectly when the conditions are met.

In order to solve the above problem, embodiments of the present application provide an SCG configuration method, device, storage medium, user equipment and network side equipment to reduce power consumption during the condition evaluation process.

The following describes the application environment of an SCG configuration method provided in this embodiment. As shown in Figure 1, the application environment may include user equipment 01 and network side equipment 02, where user equipment 01 and network side equipment 02 can communicate via wired Or connect wirelessly.

The user device 01 may be a mobile station (MS) or a mobile terminal (MT), etc. Specifically, the user device 01 may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer or a computer with wireless transceiver function, or a virtual reality (VR) terminal, an augmented reality (AR) terminal, a wireless terminal in industrial control, a wireless terminal in unmanned driving, a wireless terminal in telemedicine, a wireless terminal in smart grid, a wireless terminal in smart city, a smart home, a vehicle-mounted terminal, etc.

The network side device 02 may include access network equipment, core network equipment, or service provider equipment (such as a server), etc., without limitation. The network side device 02 is mainly used to implement resource scheduling, wireless resource management, wireless access control and other functions of the user equipment 01. Specifically, the network side device 02 can be any node among a small base station, a wireless access point, a transceiver point (TRP), a transmission point (TP), and some other access node.

Figure 2 is a flow chart of an SCG configuration method according to some embodiments. As shown in Figure 2, the SCG configuration method can be used in the user equipment in Figure 1, including the following steps.

In step S110, the user equipment receives the target evaluation condition and the target reconfiguration condition from the network side device.

In an implementation manner, the network side device can directly configure the target evaluation condition and the target reconfiguration condition to the user equipment through the same or different signaling. In another implementation manner, the network side device may also send parameters for determining target evaluation conditions to the user equipment through the same or different signaling, or send parameters for determining target reconfiguration conditions to the user equipment. For example, embodiments of the present application may determine one or more candidate target evaluation conditions through a communication protocol or preconfiguration, and indicate the identification or index of one of the target evaluation conditions through signaling. For another example, the embodiment of the present application may determine one or more candidate target reconfiguration conditions through a communication protocol or preconfiguration, and indicate the identification or index of one of the target reconfiguration conditions through signaling.

For example, the user equipment can determine the target evaluation condition through a communication protocol or preconfiguration, and determine the target reconfiguration condition through signaling sent by the network side device. For another example, the user equipment can determine the target evaluation condition through signaling sent by the network side device, and determine the target reconfiguration condition through the communication protocol or preconfiguration. For another example, the user equipment may determine the target evaluation condition and the target reconfiguration condition through a communication protocol or preconfiguration.

In all embodiments of the present application, the target evaluation condition is used to determine whether to evaluate the target reconfiguration condition, and the target evaluation condition may be related to the SCG. Specifically, the target evaluation conditions may include that the user equipment has performed operations related to SCG, has not performed operations related to SCG, or other evaluation conditions. Among them, the execution of the SCG-related operation may be at least one of configuring the SCG, establishing the SCG, the existence of PSCell, and the existence of the activated SCG; the failure to perform the SCG-related operation may be that the SCG is not configured, the SCG is not established, or the SCG is not established. At least one of the presence of PSCell and the absence of an activated SCG; other evaluation conditions may be that the PSCell or PCell of the user equipment is consistent with the specified cell identity.

Here, the target reconfiguration condition may be related to the secondary cell group, which may be at least one of the above handover conditions. Specifically, the target reconfiguration condition can be related to CPC changes or SCG changes, and it can also be related to CPA or SCG additions.

In addition, when the target reconfiguration conditions include different types of reconfiguration conditions, the user equipment may store the different types of reconfiguration conditions in different local variables, where the different types of reconfiguration conditions may include those related to CPC or SCG. Change related reconfiguration conditions and reconfiguration conditions related to CPA or SCG addition.

As an optional manner, after receiving the target evaluation condition and the target reconfiguration condition, the user equipment may determine whether to evaluate the target reconfiguration condition according to the target evaluation condition, that is, proceed to step S120.

In step S120, the user equipment determines whether to evaluate the target reconfiguration condition according to the target evaluation condition.

In some implementations, the user equipment may determine whether to evaluate the target reconfiguration condition according to the target evaluation condition received from the network side device. If the target reconfiguration condition is determined to be evaluated based on the target evaluation condition sent by the network side device, this application can perform the operation of evaluating the target reconfiguration condition.
