Description

Information sending method, device, apparatus and storage medium

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202211379951.5, filed on November 4, 2022, with invention name “Information sending method, device, apparatus and storage medium”, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to an information sending method, device, apparatus and storage medium.

Background technique

In the New Radio in Unlicensed Spectrum (NR-U) scenario, because the availability of channels in unlicensed bands cannot be guaranteed at all times, the terminal (also known as User Equipment, UE) needs to monitor the channel through the Listen Before Talk (LBT) channel access mechanism before transmitting data, evaluate the channel, and transmit data only when the channel is idle. When the physical layer is performing the LBT process, if it finds that the physical layer channel is occupied, it will indicate that the uplink LBT has failed, and the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer will stop the uplink (UL) transmission.

When the terminal performs a cell handover, the handover may succeed and a successful handover report (SHR) may be sent to the network device (e.g., base station); or the handover may fail and a radio link failure report (RLF report) may be sent to the network device. However, the network device cannot understand the impact of LBT failure on the handover based on these reports, and thus cannot make targeted optimizations.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

In order to facilitate a clearer understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, some technical contents related to the embodiments of the present disclosure are first introduced.

1. LBT failure

LBT is a channel access mechanism that enables wireless LANs to effectively share the same spectrum resources. Because the availability of channels in unlicensed frequency bands cannot always be guaranteed, LBT requires monitoring the channel before transmitting data, performing idle channel assessment, and only transmitting data when the channel is guaranteed to be idle.

The physical layer channel may perform the LBT process. When the physical layer channel is occupied, the physical layer will indicate that the uplink LBT has failed and the MAC layer will stop uplink transmission.

2. SHR and RLF report

In order to facilitate network equipment to obtain whether there are other problems during the switching process, such as channel problems, SHR is defined in NR. SHR is reported when the switching is successful.

For RLF report, the terminal will respond according to different radio link failures (Radio Link Failure, RLF) Type, set different RLF reasons, and fill in the RLF report to report to the base station, for example: timer T310 timeout, cell handover failure, Radio Link Control (RLC) exceeds the maximum number of times, continuous LBT failure, etc.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for sending information provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method is applied to a terminal. As shown in FIG. 1 , the method includes the following steps:

Step 100: Send a successful switching report SHR or a radio link failure report RLF report to the network device. The SHR or RLF report contains the listen-before-talk LBT failure information.

Specifically, in view of the fact that in the prior art, the network device cannot understand the impact of LBT failure on the terminal cell switching based on the SHR or RLF report, and thus cannot propose a targeted optimization solution, the disclosed embodiment provides an information sending method, and the terminal can send an SHR or RLF report containing LBT failure information to the network device. Among them, the LBT failure information includes relevant information about the LBT failure that occurred before the terminal received the switching command or before the triggering conditions for conditional switching were met, and/or during the switching process, such as whether the terminal had an LBT failure during the switching process, the information on the message or number of transmissions of the LBT failure during the switching process, whether the terminal had an LBT failure before receiving the switching command or meeting the triggering conditions for conditional switching, and so on. Through the LBT failure information, the network device can understand the specific circumstances of the LBT failure that occurred in the terminal before the cell switching and/or during the cell switching process.

After receiving the successful switching report SHR or wireless link failure report RLF report sent by the terminal including the listen-before-talk LBT failure information, the network device can obtain the LBT failure information included in the SHR or RLF report, so as to adjust the network configuration parameters according to the specific circumstances of the LBT failure of the terminal before the cell switching and/or during the cell switching process.

In some embodiments, the network configuration parameters may be switching related setting parameters, LBT related setting parameters, RLF related setting parameters, and the like.

The information sending method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure sends an SHR or RLF report to a network device through a terminal. The SHR or the RLF report includes LBT failure information, so that the network device can understand the impact of LBT failure on terminal cell switching based on these reports, and further make targeted optimization of network configuration parameters.

In some embodiments, the LBT failure information may include one or more of the following:

(1) LBT failure indication: The LBT failure indication is used to indicate that an LBT failure event occurred before a switching command was received or before a trigger condition for conditional switching was met, and/or that an LBT failure event occurred during the switching process.

For example, the terminal may include an LBT failure indication in the SHR or RLF report, and the LBT failure indication may be used to indicate that an LBT failure event occurred before the terminal received a switching command or before the triggering condition of the conditional switching was met, and/or during the switching process. For example, the LBT failure indication may be used to indicate that an LBT failure event occurred before the terminal received a switching command or before the triggering condition of the conditional switching was met; or the LBT failure indication may be used to indicate that an LBT failure event occurred during the switching process; or the LBT failure indication may be used to indicate that an LBT failure event occurred before the terminal received a switching command or before the triggering condition of the conditional switching was met, and during the switching process.

After receiving the SHR or RLF report, the network device can learn from the LBT failure indication carried in the report that an LBT failure event occurred in the terminal before receiving the switching command or satisfying the triggering conditions for conditional switching, and/or during the switching process, so that targeted optimization of the network configuration parameters can be made.

(2) The ratio of the number of uplink messages with LBT failure to the total number of uplink messages.

For example, when the terminal receives a handover command or meets the triggering conditions for conditional handover, it sends a preamble code Preamble to the target cell, and then sends a handover completion message to the target cell when it receives a random access response (RAR). Suppose the terminal has two LBT failures when sending the Preamble, and successfully sends the Preamble for the third time; when sending the handover completion message, no LBT failure occurs. Then, the number of messages with LBT failure is 1 (i.e., Preamble), the total number of uplink messages is 2 (i.e., Preamble and handover completion message), and the ratio of the number of messages with LBT failure to the total number of uplink messages is equal to 1/2, i.e., 50%. The terminal can include this ratio in the SHR or RLF report and send it to the network device.

(3) The ratio of the number of uplink transmissions with LBT failure to the total number of uplink transmissions.

For example, when the terminal receives a handover command or meets the triggering conditions of conditional handover, it sends a Preamble to the target cell, and then sends a handover completion message to the target cell after receiving an RAR. If the terminal fails to send the Preamble twice, and successfully sends the Preamble for the third time; when sending the handover completion message, no LBT failure occurs. Then, The number of transmissions with LBT failure is 2 (i.e., 2 LBT failures of Preamble), the total number of uplink transmissions is 4 (i.e., 2 Preamble transmissions with LBT failures, 1 successful Preamble transmission, and 1 successful transmission of the handover completion message), and the number of transmissions with LBT failure accounts for 2/4 of the total number of uplink transmissions, i.e., 50%. The terminal can include this ratio in the SHR or RLF report and send it to the network device.

(4) The content of the message when LBT failure occurs.

For example, when the terminal receives a handover command or meets the triggering condition of conditional handover, it sends a Preamble to the target cell. If at least one LBT failure occurs when the terminal sends the Preamble, the terminal can include the information that the message content of the LBT failure is the Preamble in the SHR or RLF report and send it to the network device.

After receiving the SHR or RLF report, the network device can learn from the LBT failure message content carried in the report that an LBT failure occurred when the Preamble was sent during the terminal switching process, so that targeted optimization of the network configuration parameters can be made.

(5) The running time of the LBT failure timer when a switching command is received or the triggering conditions for conditional switching are determined to be met.

For example, when an LBT failure occurs during physical layer transmission, the LBT failure timer (lbt-FailureDetectionTimer) is started. If the LBT failure timer has been started when the terminal receives a switching command or determines that the triggering conditions for conditional switching are met, the terminal can include the running time of the LBT failure timer in the SHR or RLF report and send it to the network device.

(6) When a switching command is received or the triggering condition for conditional switching is determined to be met, the ratio between the running time of the LBT failure timer and the total time of the LBT failure timer.

For example, when the terminal receives a switching command or determines that the triggering conditions for conditional switching are met, the LBT failure timer has been started. The terminal can include the ratio of the running time of the LBT failure timer to the total time of the LBT failure timer in the SHR or RLF report and send it to the network device.

(7) The value of the LBT counter when a switching command is received or the triggering condition for conditional switching is determined to be met.

For example, during the physical layer transmission, each time an LBT failure occurs, the value of the LBT counter (LBT COUNTER) may be increased by 1 accordingly. When the switching trigger condition is met, at least one LBT failure event has occurred, then the terminal can include the value of the corresponding LBT counter in the SHR or RLF report and send it to the network device. The initial value of the LBT counter can be 0.

(8) When a switching command is received or the triggering condition for conditional switching is determined to be met, the ratio between the value of the LBT counter and the maximum number of LBT failures.

For example, when the terminal receives a switching command or determines that the trigger condition for conditional switching is met, at least one LBT failure event has occurred. The terminal can include the ratio between the value of the corresponding LBT counter and the maximum number of LBT failures (lbt-FailureInstanceMaxCount) in the SHR or RLF report and send it to the network device.

(9) The ratio between the running time of the LBT failure timer and the total time of timer T304.

For example, if the terminal receives a handover command or determines that the triggering conditions for conditional handover are met, and an LBT failure occurs during the uplink transmission during the target cell handover process, the terminal will turn on or restart the LBT failure timer. Then the terminal can count the total duration of the LBT failure timer from the first time the LBT failure timer is turned on to the end of the final handover (when the handover is successful or failed) (i.e., the running duration of the LBT failure timer). The terminal can include the ratio between the running duration of the corresponding LBT failure timer and the total duration of timer T304 in the SHR or RLF report and send it to the network device. Among them, T304 is turned on when the handover command is received, and when T304 times out, the handover is considered to have failed.

In some embodiments, the LBT failure information included in the RLF report includes bandwidth fragment BWP information where consecutive LBT failures occur.

Specifically, when the value of the LBT counter is greater than the maximum number of LBT failures and the LBT failure timer has not timed out, the terminal will trigger a continuous LBT failure. If the terminal has a continuous LBT failure when transmitting uplink information on a bandwidth part (BWP) or multiple BWPs during the cell switching process, and further causes RLF. Then, the terminal can include one or more BWP information where the continuous LBT failure occurred in the RLF report and send it to the network device.

After receiving the RLF report, the network device can learn which BWPs are frequently occupied based on the BWP information carried in the report, so that it can make targeted optimizations to the network configuration parameters.

In some embodiments, the BWP information may include a BWP identification (BWP ID).

In some embodiments, a successful handover report SHR or a radio link failure report SHR is sent to the network device. Report RLF report, including:

When it is determined that the first trigger condition is met, an SHR or RLF report is sent to the network device. Whether the SHR trigger condition is met is determined when the handover is successful, and whether the RLF report trigger condition is met is determined when the handover fails:

The first trigger condition includes one or more of the following:

(1) The ratio of the number of uplink messages with LBT failure to the total number of uplink messages is greater than or equal to the first threshold.

For example, at the end of the handover (the handover process may succeed or fail), the terminal calculates the ratio of the number of messages with LBT failures in the handover process to the total number of uplink messages. If it is determined that the ratio of the number of messages with LBT failures in the handover process to the total number of uplink messages is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the terminal can send an SHR to the network device if the handover is successful, or send an RLF report to the network device if the handover fails, and include LBT failure information in the SHR or RLF report. The first threshold can be flexibly set or configured on the network side according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

(2) The ratio of the number of uplink transmissions with LBT failure to the total number of uplink transmissions is greater than or equal to the second threshold.

For example, at the end of the handover (the handover process may succeed or fail), the terminal calculates the ratio of the number of transmissions with LBT failures in the handover process to the total number of uplink transmissions. If it is determined that the ratio of the number of transmissions with LBT failures in the handover process to the total number of uplink transmissions is greater than or equal to the second threshold, the terminal may send an SHR to the network device if the handover is successful, or send an RLF report to the network device if the handover fails, and include LBT failure information in the SHR or RLF report. The second threshold can be flexibly set or configured on the network side according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

(3) When a switching command is received or the triggering conditions for conditional switching are determined to be met, the LBT failure timer has been started.

For example, at the end of the handover (the handover process may succeed or fail), the terminal determines whether the LBT failure timer has been started when receiving the handover command or determining that the triggering condition of the conditional handover is met. If it is determined that the LBT failure timer has been started, the terminal can report to the network device if the handover is successful. Send an SHR, or send an RLF report to the network device in case of handover failure, and include LBT failure information in the SHR or RLF report.

(4) When a switching command is received or the triggering condition for conditional switching is determined to be met, the running time of the LBT failure timer is greater than or equal to the third threshold.

For example, at the end of the handover (the handover process may succeed or fail), the terminal determines whether the running time of the LBT failure timer is greater than or equal to the third threshold when receiving the handover command or determining that the triggering condition of the conditional handover is met. If it is determined that the running time of the LBT failure timer is greater than or equal to the third threshold, the terminal can send an SHR to the network device if the handover is successful, or send an RLF report to the network device if the handover fails, and include LBT failure information in the SHR or RLF report. Among them, the third threshold can be flexibly set or configured on the network side according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

(5) When a switching command is received or the triggering condition for conditional switching is determined to be met, the ratio of the running time of the LBT failure timer to the total time of the LBT failure timer is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold.

For example, at the end of the handover (the handover process may succeed or fail), the terminal calculates the ratio between the running time of the failure timer and the total time of the LBT failure timer when receiving the handover command or determining that the triggering condition of the conditional handover is met. If it is determined that the ratio between the running time of the LBT failure timer and the total time of the LBT failure timer is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold, the terminal can send an SHR to the network device if the handover is successful, or send an RLF report to the network device if the handover fails, and include the LBT failure information in the SHR or RLF report. Among them, the fourth threshold can be flexibly set or configured on the network side according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

(6) When a switching command is received or the triggering condition for conditional switching is determined to be met, the value of the LBT counter is greater than or equal to 1.

For example, at the end of the switching (the switching process may succeed or fail), if the terminal finds that the value of the LBT counter is greater than or equal to 1 when receiving the switching command or determining that the triggering condition for conditional switching is met, indicating that at least one LBT failure event has occurred before, the terminal can send an SHR to the network device if the switching is successful, or send an RLF report to the network device if the switching fails, and include the LBT failure information in the SHR or RLF report.

(7) When a switching command is received or the triggering condition for conditional switching is determined to be met, the LBT counter The value is greater than or equal to the fifth threshold.

For example, at the end of the handover (the handover process may succeed or fail), if the terminal finds that when receiving the handover command or determining that the triggering condition of the conditional handover is met, the value of the LBT counter is greater than or equal to the fifth threshold, indicating that at least K LBT failure events have occurred before (the K value is equal to the fifth threshold), then the terminal can send an SHR to the network device if the handover is successful, or send an RLF report to the network device if the handover fails, and include the LBT failure information in the SHR or RLF report. Among them, the fifth threshold can be flexibly set or configured on the network side according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

(8) When a switching command is received or the triggering condition for conditional switching is determined to be met, the ratio between the value of the LBT counter and the maximum number of LBT failures is greater than or equal to the sixth threshold.

For example, at the end of the handover (the handover process may succeed or fail), the terminal calculates the ratio between the value of the LBT counter and the maximum number of LBT failures when receiving the handover command or determining that the triggering condition for the conditional handover is met. If the ratio between the value of the LBT counter and the maximum number of LBT failures is determined to be greater than or equal to the sixth threshold, the terminal can send an SHR to the network device if the handover is successful, or send an RLF report to the network device if the handover fails, and include LBT failure information in the SHR or RLF report. Among them, the sixth threshold can be flexibly set or configured on the network side according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

(9) The ratio of the running time of the LBT failure timer to the total time of timer T304 is greater than or equal to the seventh threshold.

For example, if after receiving a switching command or determining that the triggering conditions for conditional switching are met, the terminal undergoes an LBT failure when performing uplink transmission during the target cell switching process, the terminal will turn on or restart the LBT failure timer. The terminal can count the total running time of the LBT failure timer from the first time the LBT failure timer is turned on to the end of the final switching (when the switching is successful or failed), and determine whether the ratio of the total running time to timer T304 exceeds the seventh threshold. If it is determined that the ratio between the running time of the LBT failure timer and the total running time of timer T304 is greater than or equal to the seventh threshold, the terminal can send an SHR to the network device if the switching is successful, or send an RLF report to the network device if the switching fails, and include the LBT failure information in the SHR or RLF report. Among them, the seventh threshold can be flexibly set or configured on the network side according to actual needs, and is not included here. T304 is turned on when a switching command is received. When T304 times out, the switching is considered to have failed.

In some embodiments, the above-mentioned switching command can be indicated by a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) message, a media access control control element (MAC CE) or a downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI).

In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

Receive SHR configuration information or RLF report configuration information sent by the network device, where the SHR configuration information or RLF report configuration information includes a first trigger condition.

Specifically, the network device may send SHR configuration information or RLF report configuration information including the first trigger condition to the terminal.

After receiving the SHR configuration information or RLF report configuration information containing the first trigger condition sent by the network device, the terminal can send the SHR or RLF report to the network device if it is determined that the first trigger condition is met.

In some embodiments, SHR configuration information or RLF report configuration information may be sent via an RRC message.

In some embodiments, if the thresholds in the first trigger condition (first threshold, second threshold, third threshold, fourth threshold, fifth threshold and sixth threshold) are configured by the network device for the terminal, then these thresholds can be sent to the terminal together with the SHR configuration information or the RLF report configuration information.

FIG. 2 is a second flow chart of a method for sending information provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method is applied to a network device. As shown in FIG. 2 , the method includes the following steps:

Step 200: Receive a successful switching report SHR or a radio link failure report RLF report sent by the terminal, where the SHR or RLF report contains the listen-before-talk LBT failure information.

Step 201: Adjust network configuration parameters based on SHR or RLF report.

Specifically, in view of the fact that in the prior art, the network device cannot understand the impact of LBT failure on the terminal cell switching based on the SHR or RLF report, and thus cannot propose a targeted optimization solution, the disclosed embodiment provides an information sending method, whereby the terminal can send an SHR or RLF report containing LBT failure information to the network device. The LBT failure information includes relevant information about the LBT failure that occurred before the terminal received the switching command or before the triggering conditions for conditional switching were met, and/or during the switching process, such as whether the terminal had experienced an LBT failure during the switching process, and whether the terminal had experienced an LBT failure during the switching process. The information of the LBT failure message or the number of transmissions, whether the terminal has experienced an LBT failure before receiving a switching command or satisfying the triggering conditions for conditional switching, etc. Through the LBT failure information, the network device can understand the specific circumstances of the LBT failure of the terminal before and/or during the cell switching.

The information sending method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure sends a successful switching report SHR or a wireless link failure report RLF report to a network device through a terminal. The SHR or the RLF report contains listen-before-speak LBT failure information, so that the network device can understand the impact of LBT failure on the terminal cell switching based on these reports, and further make targeted optimization of network configuration parameters.

(1) LBT failure indication: The LBT failure indication is used to indicate that an LBT failure event occurred before the terminal received a switching command or before the triggering condition of conditional switching was met, and/or that an LBT failure event occurred during the switching process.

After receiving the SHR or RLF report, the network device can know, based on the LBT failure indication carried in the report, whether the terminal has failed before receiving the switching command or before meeting the triggering conditions for conditional switching, and/or Or, an LBT failure event occurs during the switching process, so that the network configuration parameters can be optimized in a targeted manner.

(2) The ratio of the number of uplink messages with LBT failure in the terminal to the total number of uplink messages.

For example, when the terminal receives a handover command or meets the triggering conditions for conditional handover, it sends a Preamble to the target cell, and when it subsequently receives a RAR, it sends a handover completion message to the target cell. Suppose the terminal has two LBT failures when sending the Preamble, and successfully sends the Preamble for the third time; when sending the handover completion message, no LBT failure occurs. Then, the number of messages with LBT failure is 1 (i.e., the Preamble), the total number of uplink messages is 2 (i.e., the Preamble and the handover completion message), and the number of messages with LBT failure accounts for the total number of uplink messages. The ratio is equal to 1/2, that is, 50%. The terminal can include this ratio in the SHR or RLF report and send it to the network device.

(3) The ratio of the number of uplink transmissions with LBT failures to the total number of uplink transmissions.

For example, when the terminal receives a handover command or meets the triggering conditions for conditional handover, it sends a Preamble to the target cell, and when it subsequently receives an RAR, it sends a handover completion message to the target cell. Suppose the terminal has two LBT failure events when sending the Preamble, and successfully sends the Preamble for the third time; when sending the handover completion message, no LBT failure occurs. Then, the number of transmissions with LBT failure is 2 times (i.e., 2 LBT failures of the Preamble), and the total number of uplink transmissions is 4 times (i.e., 2 Preamble transmissions with LBT failures, 1 successful Preamble transmission, and 1 successful transmission of the handover completion message), and the ratio of the number of transmissions with LBT failures to the total number of uplink transmissions is equal to 2/4, i.e., 50%. The terminal can include this ratio in the SHR or RLF report and send it to the network device.

(4) The content of the message indicating that LBT failure occurred on the terminal.

After receiving the SHR or RLF report, the network device can know that the terminal has an LBT failure when sending the Preamble during the switching process based on the message content of the LBT failure carried in the report. Failure can lead to targeted optimization of network configuration parameters.

(5) The running time of the LBT failure timer when the terminal receives a handover command or determines that the triggering conditions for conditional handover are met.

For example, when an LBT failure occurs during physical layer transmission, the LBT failure timer is started. If the LBT failure timer has been started when the terminal receives a switching command or determines that the triggering conditions for conditional switching are met, the terminal can include the running time of the LBT failure timer in the SHR or RLF report and send it to the network device.

(6) When the terminal receives a switching command or determines that the triggering condition for conditional switching is met, the ratio between the running time of the LBT failure timer and the total time of the LBT failure timer.

(7) The value of the LBT counter when the terminal receives a handover command or determines that the triggering conditions for conditional handover are met.

For example, during the physical layer transmission process, each time an LBT failure occurs, the value of the LBT counter may be increased by 1. If at least one LBT failure event has occurred when the terminal receives a switching command or determines that the triggering condition for conditional switching is met, the terminal may include the value of the corresponding LBT counter in the SHR or RLF report and send it to the network device. The initial value of the LBT counter may be 0.

(8) The ratio between the value of the LBT counter and the maximum number of LBT failures when the terminal receives a handover command or determines that the triggering condition for conditional handover is met.

For example, when the terminal receives a switching command or determines that the triggering conditions for conditional switching are met, at least one LBT failure event has occurred. The terminal can include the ratio between the value of the corresponding LBT counter and the maximum number of LBT failures in an SHR or RLF report and send it to the network device.

(9) The ratio between the running time of the terminal's LBT failure timer and the total time of timer T304.

For example, if the terminal receives a handover command or determines that the triggering condition for conditional handover is met, and an LBT failure occurs when performing uplink transmission during the target cell handover process, the terminal The LBT failure timer will be turned on or restarted, so the terminal can count the total duration of the LBT failure timer from the first time the LBT failure timer is turned on to the end of the final switch (when the switch is successful or failed) (i.e., the running duration of the LBT failure timer). The terminal can include the ratio between the running duration of the corresponding LBT failure timer and the total duration of timer T304 in the SHR or RLF report and send it to the network device. Among them, T304 is turned on when the switch command is received, and when T304 times out, the switch is considered to have failed.

Specifically, when the value of the LBT counter is greater than the maximum number of LBT failures and the LBT failure timer has not timed out, the terminal will trigger a continuous LBT failure. If the terminal has a continuous LBT failure when transmitting uplink information on one or more BWPs during a cell handover, and this causes an RLF, then the terminal can include the information of one or more BWPs with continuous LBT failures in the RLF report and send it to the network device.

In some embodiments, the BWP information may include a BWP ID.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

Sending SHR configuration information or RLF report configuration information to the terminal, where the SHR configuration information or the RLF report configuration information includes a first trigger condition;

The first trigger condition includes one or more of the following:

(1) The ratio of the number of uplink messages in which LBT failure occurs in the terminal to the total number of uplink messages is greater than or equal to the first threshold.

For example, at the end of the handover (the handover process may succeed or fail), the terminal calculates the ratio of the number of messages with LBT failures in the handover process to the total number of uplink messages. If it is determined that the ratio of the number of messages with LBT failures in the handover process to the total number of uplink messages is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the terminal can send an SHR to the network device if the handover is successful, or send an RLF report to the network device if the handover fails, and include the LBT failure information in the SHR or RLF report. Among them, the first threshold can be flexibly set or configured on the network side according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

(2) The ratio of the number of uplink transmissions in which LBT failure occurs at the terminal to the total number of uplink transmissions is greater than or equal to the second threshold.

(3) When the terminal receives a switching command or determines that the triggering conditions for conditional switching are met, the LBT failure timer has been started.

For example, at the end of the switching (the switching process may succeed or fail), the terminal determines whether the LBT failure timer has been started when receiving the switching command or determining that the triggering condition for the conditional switching is met. If it is determined that the LBT failure timer has been started, the terminal can send an SHR to the network device if the switching is successful, or send an RLF report to the network device if the switching fails, and include the LBT failure information in the SHR or RLF report.

(4) When the terminal receives a switching command or determines that a triggering condition for conditional switching is met, the running length of the LBT failure timer is greater than or equal to a third threshold.

(5) When the terminal receives a switching command or determines that the triggering condition for conditional switching is met, the ratio of the running time of the LBT failure timer to the total time of the LBT failure timer is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold.

(6) When the terminal receives a switching command or determines that the triggering condition for conditional switching is met, the value of the LBT counter is greater than or equal to 1.

(7) When the terminal receives a switching command or determines that the triggering condition for conditional switching is met, the value of the LBT counter is greater than or equal to the fifth threshold.

(8) When the terminal receives a switching command or determines that the triggering condition for conditional switching is met, the ratio between the value of the LBT counter and the maximum number of LBT failures is greater than or equal to the sixth threshold.

For example, at the end of the handover (the handover process may succeed or fail), the terminal calculates the ratio between the value of the LBT counter and the maximum number of LBT failures when receiving the handover command or determining that the triggering condition for conditional handover is met. If the ratio between the two is greater than or equal to the sixth threshold, the terminal can send an SHR to the network device if the switching is successful, or send an RLF report to the network device if the switching fails, and include LBT failure information in the SHR or RLF report. The sixth threshold can be flexibly set or configured on the network side according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

(9) The ratio of the running time of the LBT failure timer of the terminal to the total time of timer T304 is greater than or equal to the seventh threshold.

For example, if the terminal receives a handover command or determines that the triggering conditions for conditional handover are met, and an LBT failure occurs when performing uplink transmission during the target cell handover process, the terminal will turn on or restart the LBT failure timer. Then the terminal can count the total running time of the LBT failure timer from the first time the LBT failure timer is turned on to the end of the final handover (when the handover is successful or failed), and determine whether the ratio of the total running time to the timer T304 exceeds the seventh threshold. If it is determined that the ratio between the running time of the LBT failure timer and the total running time of the timer T304 is greater than or equal to the seventh threshold, the terminal can send an SHR to the network device if the handover is successful, or send an RLF report to the network device if the handover fails, and include the LBT failure information in the SHR or RLF report. Among them, the seventh threshold can be flexibly set or configured on the network side according to actual needs, and is not limited here. T304 is turned on when the handover command is received, and when T304 times out, the handover is considered to have failed.

The methods provided in the various embodiments of the present disclosure are based on the same application concept, so the implementation of each method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

The methods provided in the above embodiments of the present disclosure are illustrated below by using embodiments of specific application scenarios.

Embodiment 1: The triggering condition of SHR or RLF report is that during the cell switching process of the terminal, the ratio of the number of LBT failure messages to the total number of uplink messages is greater than or equal to the first threshold.

Step 1: The network device configures SHR configuration information or RLF report configuration information for the terminal.

In some embodiments, the SHR configuration information or RLF report configuration information includes the triggering conditions of the SHR or RLF report.

In some embodiments, the SHR configuration information or RLF report configuration information may be sent via an RRC message.

Step 2: After the terminal confirms receipt of the SHR configuration information or RLF report configuration information, if When a handover command is received or a trigger condition of conditional handover is met, during the cell handover process or when the handover is successful or when the handover fails, the terminal determines whether the ratio of the number of messages with LBT failure to the total number of uplink messages is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and the first threshold value is configured by the network device to the terminal. In some embodiments, the first threshold value can be sent to the terminal together with the SHR configuration information or the RLF report configuration information.

For example, after receiving the handover command, the terminal sends a Preamble to the target cell, and subsequently sends a handover completion message to the target cell after receiving the RAR.

Suppose that when the terminal sends the Preamble, LBT fails twice and the terminal successfully sends the Preamble for the third time; when sending the handover completion message, no LBT failure occurs.

During calculation, the number of messages in which LBT failure occurs in the total uplink messages is 1, namely, the Preamble.

The total number of uplink messages is 2, namely, Preamble and Handover Complete message.

The ratio of the number of messages with LBT failure calculated in this way to the total number of uplink messages (recorded as the first ratio) is equal to 1/2, that is, 50%.

Assuming that the first threshold is 40% and the first ratio exceeds 40%, if the cell switching is successful, the terminal triggers the sending of SHR; if the cell switching fails, the terminal triggers the sending of RLF report.

Step 3-1: The terminal may fill in one or more of the following contents in the SHR:

LBT failure indication, used to indicate that an LBT failure occurred during the switching process;

or a numerical value of the first ratio, used to indicate information of LBT failure;

Or the message content when LBT failure occurs, according to the above example, it can be Preamble.

Step 3-2: The terminal may fill in one or more of the following in the RLF report:

In some embodiments, if a terminal experiences continuous LBT failures on at least one BWP during a cell switching process, the content reported by the terminal in the RLF report may also include corresponding BWP information (e.g., BWP ID) where the continuous LBT failures occurred.

Step 4: The terminal sends an SHR or RLF report to the network device.

Step 5: After receiving the SHR or RLF report, the network device, based on the value of the first ratio, Set the parameters for cell switching, such as setting a longer T304 timer, which is not restricted here.

The advantage of this embodiment is that it is convenient for the network device to obtain information about the number of LBT failure messages during the switching process, and it is convenient for the network device to adjust the relevant setting parameters of the switching, the relevant setting parameters of LBT, the relevant setting parameters of RLF, etc.

Embodiment 2: The triggering condition of the SHR or RLF report is that the ratio of the number of transmissions with LBT failures to the total number of uplink transmissions during the cell switching process of the terminal is greater than or equal to the second threshold.

Step 2: After the terminal confirms receipt of the SHR configuration information or the RLF report configuration information, if a switching command is received and/or the triggering condition of the conditional switching is met, during the switching process or when the switching is successfully completed or after the switching fails, the terminal determines whether the proportion of the number of transmissions with LBT failures to the total number of uplink transmissions is greater than or equal to a second threshold value, and the second threshold value is configured by the network device to the terminal. In some embodiments, the second threshold value can be sent to the terminal together with the SHR configuration information or the RLF report configuration information.

If LBT fails twice when sending the Preamble, the Preamble is successfully sent the third time; and no LBT failure occurs when sending the handover completion message.

During the calculation, the number of transmissions in which LBT failures occurred in the uplink transmission is 2, that is, LBT failures occurred twice during the Preamble sending process.

The total number of uplink transmissions is 4 times, namely 3 Preambles (2 failed, 1 successful) and 1 Switching Complete message (1 successful).

The ratio of the number of transmissions with LBT failure calculated in this way to the total number of uplink transmissions (recorded as the second ratio) is equal to 2/4, that is, 50%.

Assuming that the second threshold is 40%, and the second ratio exceeds 40%, if the handover is successful, the terminal Trigger the sending of SHR; if the handover fails, the terminal triggers the sending of RLF report.

LBT failure indication, used to indicate that an LBT failure event occurred during the switching process;

or a value of a second ratio, used to indicate the ratio of LBT failures occurring during the switching process;

Step 4: The terminal sends an SHR or RLF report.

Step 5: After receiving the SHR or RLF report, the network device sets the switching parameters according to the second ratio, such as setting a longer T304 timer, or setting a more reasonable Preamble resource according to the number of LBT failures that occur during the Preamble sending process.

The advantage of this embodiment is that it is convenient for the network device to obtain information about the number of transmissions in which LBT failures occurred during the switching process, and it is convenient for the network device to adjust the relevant setting parameters of the switching, the relevant setting parameters of LBT, the relevant setting parameters of RLF, etc.

Example 3: The triggering condition of SHR or RLF report is that when the terminal receives a switching command or determines that the triggering condition for conditional switching is met, the LBT failure timer has been started; or, when the terminal receives a switching command or determines that the triggering condition for conditional switching is met, the running time of the LBT failure timer is greater than or equal to a third threshold; or, when the terminal receives a switching command or determines that the triggering condition for conditional switching is met, the ratio of the running time of the LBT failure timer to the total time of the LBT failure timer is greater than or equal to a fourth threshold.

In some embodiments, the SHR configuration information or the RLF report configuration information includes a triggering condition for the SHR or RLF report.

Step 2: After the terminal confirms receipt of the SHR configuration information or the RLF report configuration information, if the terminal receives a handover command or determines that the triggering condition for conditional handover is met, the terminal determines:

Whether the LBT failure timer is running; or,

Whether the running time of the LBT failure timer is greater than or equal to the third threshold; or,

Whether the ratio of the running time of the LBT failure timer to the total time of the LBT failure timer is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold.

For example, before receiving the switching command, when the terminal sends an uplink message (such as a measurement report), when performing LBT, if the physical layer indicates that LBT fails, the terminal will start the LBT failure timer.

For example, the running length of the LBT failure timer may be the total running length of the LBT failure timer after receiving a switching command or satisfying a conditional switching condition (including the running length after restart).

Subsequently, the terminal receives a switching command. In some embodiments, the switching command may be indicated by an RRC message or MAC CE or DCI.

When the switch is successful, the following conditions are met:

The conditional switching condition is met or the LBT failure timer is running when the switching command is received; or,

When a conditional switching condition is met or a switching command is received, the running length of the LBT failure timer exceeds a third threshold value, and the third threshold value is configured by the network device; or,

When the conditional switching condition is met or a switching command is received, the ratio of the running time of the LBT failure timer to the total time of the LBT failure timer is greater than or equal to a fourth threshold, and the fourth threshold is configured by the network device.

The terminal triggers an SHR.

When the switch fails, the following conditions are met:

The terminal triggers an RLF report.

Step 3: The terminal may fill in one or more of the following in the SHR or RLF report:

LBT failure indication;

or the running length of the LBT failure timer;

Or the ratio of the running time of the LBT failure timer to the total time of the LBT failure timer.

Step 4: The terminal sends an SHR or RLF report.

Step 5: After receiving the SHR or RLF report, the network device adjusts the sending time of the switching command according to the content of the SHR or RLF report, which will not be elaborated here.

The advantage of this embodiment is that it facilitates the network equipment to understand the LBT failure that occurred when the terminal received a switching command or met the triggering conditions for conditional switching, and facilitates the network equipment to adjust the relevant setting parameters of the switching, the relevant setting parameters of LBT, the relevant setting parameters of RLF, etc.

Embodiment 4: The triggering condition of SHR or RLF report is that when the terminal receives a switching command or determines that the triggering condition for conditional switching is met, the value of the LBT counter is greater than or equal to 1; or, when the terminal receives a switching command or determines that the triggering condition for conditional switching is met, the value of the LBT counter is greater than or equal to the fifth threshold; or, when the terminal receives a switching command or determines that the triggering condition for conditional switching is met, the ratio of the value of the LBT counter to the maximum number of LBT failures is greater than or equal to the sixth threshold.

In some embodiments, the SHR configuration information or the RLF report configuration information may be sent via an RRC message.

Whether the value of the LBT counter is greater than or equal to 1; or,

Whether the value of the LBT counter is greater than or equal to the fifth threshold; or,

Whether the ratio between the value of the LBT counter and the maximum number of LBT failures is greater than or equal to a sixth threshold.

For example, before receiving the switching command, when the terminal sends an uplink message (such as a measurement report), when performing LBT, if the physical layer indicates that LBT fails, the LBT counter will increase by 1.

Subsequently, when the terminal receives a switching command, in some embodiments, the switching command may be indicated by an RRC message or MAC CE or DCI.

When the switch is successful, the following conditions are met:

The conditional switching condition is met or when a switching command is received, the value of the LBT counter is greater than or equal to 1; or,

When a conditional switching condition is met or a switching command is received, the value of the LBT counter is greater than or equal to a fifth threshold value, and the fifth threshold value is configured by the network device; or;

When the conditional switching condition is met or a switching command is received, the ratio between the value of the LBT counter and the maximum number of LBT failures is greater than or equal to a sixth threshold, and the sixth threshold is configured by the network device.

The terminal triggers an SHR.

When the switch fails, the following conditions are met:

The terminal triggers an RLF report.

LBT failure indication;

or the value of the LBT counter;

Or the ratio between the value of the LBT counter and the maximum number of LBT failures.

Step 4: The terminal sends an SHR or RLF report.
