具体实施方式
为使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请实施方式作进一步地详细描述。
首先,对本申请实施例涉及的相关技术进行介绍:
(1)GNSS操作
在版本17(Release 17,R17)物联网(Internet of Things,IoT)NTN中,也即在窄带物联网(Narrow Band Internet of Things,NB-IoT)和增强型机器类型通信(enhanced Machine-Type Communication,eMTC)接入NTN的场景中,IoT终端的GNSS测量模块和通信模块不能同时操作。在R17NTN中,IoT终端只能在无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,RRC)空闲态或RRC非激活态进行GNSS测量获取位置信息,而在RRC连接态不能启动GNSS模块。为此,用户设备(User Equipment,UE)在进入RRC连接态之前需要先通过GNSS模块测量获取自己的GNSS位置,UE可根据自身情况(如UE的移动状态)确定GNSS位置的有效时长,在RRC连接建立/RRC重建/RRC连接恢复时将GNSS位置有效的剩余时间上报给网络。对于RRC连接态的UE,当其GNSS位置过期时,由于UE在RRC连接态不能进行GNSS操作,UE无法计算上行定时维护(Time Alignment,TA),因此UE需要回到RRC空闲态。
在版本18(Release 18,R18)IoT NTN增强的WID(RP-213596)中,明确给出了以下研究目标:
4.1.1IoT-NTN Performance Enhancements in Rel-18to address remaining issues from Rel-17
This work considers Rel-17IoT-NTN as baseline as well as Rel-17NR-NTN outcome and the further IoT-NTN performance enhancements objectives are listed below:
-Disabling of HARQ feedback to mitigate impact of HARQ stalling on UE data rates[RAN1,RAN2]
-Study and specify,if needed,improved GNSS operations for a new position fix for UE pre-compensation during long connection times and for reduced power consumption[RAN1]
基于以上研究目标,R18中接入NTN的IoT终端将可以在RRC连接态执行GNSS操作。
在3GPP无线接入网工作组1(Radio Access Network Work Group1,RAN1)#109次会议, RAN1针对接入NTN的IoT终端的GNSS增强进行了讨论,并形成以下结论:
1.IoT NTN UE可能需要在持续时间较长的RRC连接期间重新获取有效的GNSS测量位置。
2.对于连接态的GNSS测量,至少可以考虑以下候选方案:
方法1:基于定时器(timer)控制的终端设备重新获取GNSS测量位置。
方法2:引入一个新的间隙(gap),终端设备在该间隙期间重新获取GNSS测量位置。
3.对于连接态GNSS测量的触发,可以考虑:
终端设备触发的GNSS测量;
网络设备触发的GNSS测量。
(2)卫星硬切换
对于半静态(Quasi-Earth Fixed)小区(cell),一段时间内低轨移动卫星的地面覆盖位置固定,终端设备可能在RRC连接态下需要面临卫星切换的场景,例如当前卫星随着移动到地面覆盖的仰角逐渐变小,某一个时刻当前卫星将不再能提供当前区域的覆盖,此时另一个新卫星可能接力覆盖当前区域,而且新卫星可能连接到相同的地面网关,从终端设备来看,前后两个卫星属于相同的物理小区标识(Physical Cell Identifier,PCI)和频点。为了避免前后卫星的同频干扰,卫星之间硬切换更为现实,即终端设备先于当前的卫星中断连接,之后才与新的卫星建立连接。
(3)无线链路监测(Radio Link Monitoring,RLM)
RLM用于监听服务小区下行链路的信道质量。物理层在规定时间内评估无线链路质量,并与Qin门限和Qout门限比较,如果低于Qout门限,则物理层向高层上报out-of-sync指示;如果高于Qin门限,则物理层向高层上报in-sync指示。Qin门限和Qout门限是通过检测物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,PDCCH)format(格式)1-0的误块率(Block Error Rate,BLER)来确定的。其中Qin和Qout对应的BLER值是通过RRC信令配置的,Qout门限对应的BLER值为10%,Qin门限对应的BLER为2%。
UE在网络侧的下行失步判定涉及到如下几个定时器和常量,N310,T310,N311。这些定时器和常量参数,可以通过专用信令配置给UE,如果没有配置则使用系统广播里面的参数。
当UE处于RRC连接态,收到第一参数N310指示的最大数目个“out_of_Sync”,且T310定时器、T301定时器、T304定时器和T311定时器没有运行,则启动T310定时器。如果收到第二参数N311指示的最大数目个“in_Sync”,则停止T310定时器,说明UE已经恢复下行同步,否则UE处于下行失步状态。
数据非激活态定时器(Data Inactivity Timer)用于控制数据的不活跃操作。RRC连接态下配置该参数,单位为秒(s)。数据非激活态定时器的启动由介质访问控制(Media Access Control,MAC)层控制,当MAC收发专用业务信道(Dedicated Traffic Channel,DTCH)、专用控制信道(Dedicated Control Channel,DCCH)、公共控制信道(Common Control Channel,CCCH)时,都会启动或者重新启动该数据非激活态定时器。如果数据非激活态定时器超时,则MAC层通知RRC层该数据非激活态定时器超时,终端设备离开连接态进入空闲态。
(4)非连接态UE的无线资源管理(Radio Resource Management,RRM)测量
处于非连接态的终端设备需要基于网络的配置对服务小区以及其他邻小区进行RRM测量以支持移动性操作,例如小区重选等。
非连接态的UE针对服务小区测量是持续进行的。在版本14(Release 14,R14)NB-IoT中,引入了针对静止终端设备的邻小区测量放松机制,以进一步满足终端设备省电的需求。针对邻小区测量放松引入了测量放松准则,网络会配置窄带参考信号接收功率(Narrowband Reference Signal Received Power,NRSRP)变化的评估时长(T Search Delta P)和参考信号接 收功率(Reference Signal Received Power,RSRP)变化值门限(S Search Delta P)。当评估时长内UE在服务小区上的RSRP变化量小于变化值门限时,则认为该UE满足测量放松准则。即:在T Search Delta P内,满足:
(SrxlevRef–Srxlev)<S Search Delta P
其中,Srxlev是服务小区的当前选择接收电平测量值,SrxlevRef是服务小区的参考Srxlev值。
当UE选择或重选到一个新的小区,或者(Srxlev-SrxlevRef)>0,或者UE没有在T Search Delta P内满足(SrxlevRef–Srxlev)<S Search Delta P,UE将SrxlevRef设为服务小区的当前Srxlev测量值。
UE在完成小区选择/重选之后,至少需要在评估时长内执行正常的RRM测量。当UE满足测量放松准则时,UE针对邻小区的测量间隔可以增大到24小时。
(5)连接态UE的RRM测量
在R17之前的版本中,NB-IoT UE不支持连接态的RRM测量。当连接态的NB-IoT在服务小区上的信道质量变差后,通过无线链路失败(Radio Link Failure,RLF)和RRC重建过程来进行移动性管理。由于UE触发RLF之后,需要先通过搜索,测量来选择一个合适的小区,然后在该小区上发起RRC连接重建。为了节省UE触发RLF之后选择重建小区的时间,R17针对NB-IoT UE引入了连接态UE的邻区测量机制。针对连接态UE的邻区测量,网络会通过系统消息配置s-measure准则,同时网络还可以配置UE移动状态评估准则。UE基于s-measure准则和UE移动状态评估准则,确定是否需要执行邻小区测量。方法如下:
当UE进入到RRC连接态之后,如果网络配置了UE移动状态评估准则,则:
将NRSRP Ref设置为最近一次测得的用于小区选择或重选的服务小区上的NRSRP;
如果UE在进入RRC连接态之前没有满足邻小区测量放松准则,则UE启动T326定时器。
对于处于连接态的UE,假设UE在被测载波上的测量结果为NRSRP,如果网络配置了UE移动状态评估准则,则:
如果(NRSRP Ref–(NRSRP–Power Offset Non Anchor))>s-Measure Delta P,则UE设置NRSRP Ref=NRSRP-Power Offset Non Anchor,同时UE启动或重启T326定时器。
如果网络没有配置UE移动状态评估准则,或者T326正在运行,则:
如果(NRSRP-Power Offset Non Anchor)<s-Measure Intra,则UE执行对同频邻小区的测量。
如果(NRSRP-Power Offset Non Anchor)<s-Measure Inter,则UE执行对异频邻小区的测量。

相关技术中,GNSS测量期间和/或卫星切换期间,终端设备与当前小区的通信处于中断状态。在一个示例中,如果用于判决RLF的定时器(例如T310定时器)在GNSS测量期间和/或卫星切换期间超时,则终端设备按照相关协议认为此时发生RLF并需要执行RRC连接重建,由此可能导致终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后仍在执行RRC连接重建,因而会导致终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后无法及时地进行数据传输。在一个示例中,如果用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器(例如数据非激活态定时器)在GNSS测量期间和/或卫星切换期间超时,则终端设备按照相关协议要离开连接态回到空闲态,终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后还要重新建立RRC连接,不仅会导致终端设备消耗更多的电量,而且也使得终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后无法及时地进行数据传输。在一个示例中,如果用于启动连接态邻区测量的定时器(例如T326定时器)在GNSS测量期间和/或卫星切换期间超时,那么在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后,由于T326定时器没有运行,则终端设备不会启动邻区测量,这可能导致在发生RLF的情况下无法快速的发现RRC重建小区,使得终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后无法及时地进行数据传输。
针对上述问题,本申请提出了一种基于定时器的操作执行方法,下文对该方法进行说明。
图2是本申请一个示例性实施例提供的基于定时器的操作执行方法的流程图。所述方法由终端设备执行,包括:
步骤120:基于第一时间信息,对第一定时器执行第一操作。
在获取到第一时间信息的情况下,对第一定时器执行第一操作。
在一些实施例中,第一时间信息是与GNSS测量和/或卫星切换有关的时间信息。在一些实施例中,第一时间信息是与GNSS测量的开始或启动有关的时间信息。在一些实施例中,第一时间信息是与卫星切换的开始或启动有关的时间信息。可选地,该卫星切换包括卫星软切换和卫星硬切换中的至少一种。
在一个示例中,该卫星切换包括卫星硬切换,在卫星硬切换期间,为了避免切换前后的两个通信卫星出现同频干扰,因此终端设备在卫星硬切换期间需要先与当前的通信卫星中断连接,再与新的通信卫星建立新连接。
在一些实施例中,第一时间信息包括以下第一时间中的至少一种:
·执行GNSS测量的时刻;
·GNSS信息过期的时刻;
·GNSS测量间隙的开始时刻;
·卫星切换的开始时刻。
在一些实施例中,上述卫星切换的开始时刻由网络设备(比如基站或核心网设备)进行指示。
网络设备指示卫星切换的开始时刻的方式包括以下至少一种:
·系统消息广播;
·RRC专用信令;
·MAC控制元素(Control Element,CE);
·PDCCH。
应当理解的是,终端设备执行第一操作的时间和第一时间是一致的或是同步的。一般情况下,由于客观条件下存在一定的时间延迟,因此执行第一操作的时间可能会稍晚于第一时间。
在一些实施例中,第一定时器是在超时时会触发终端设备与卫星之间中断通信的定时器。
在一些实施例中,第一定时器包括以下至少一种:
·用于判决RLF的定时器;
·用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器。
在一些实施例中,用于判决RLF的定时器包括:T310定时器。可选地,在终端设备进入无线链路检测时,当连续收到的下行失步指示(out of sync)个数等于第一参数时,则会触发T310定时器的启动。如果在T310定时器持续运行的过程中,连续又收到下行同步指示(in sync)的个数等于第二参数时,则停止T310定时器,指示链路同步已恢复。在T310定时器超时的情况下,则认为检测到无线链路失败,将触发RRC连接重建过程。可选地,第一参数包括N310。可选地,第二参数包括N311。
在一些实施例中,用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器包括:数据非激活态定时器(Data Inactivity Timer)。可选地,终端设备在发送完数据处于连接态的情况下,启动数据非激活态定时器。在数据非激活态定时器超时的情况下,终端设备则离开连接态进入空闲态。
在一些实施例中,第一操作是用于避免终端设备与卫星之间中断通信的操作。在一些实施例中,第一操作是用于避免终端设备在GNSS测量和/或卫星切换有关的时间段内继续运行第一定时器的操作。
在一些实施例中,第一操作包括:
·停止第一定时器;或,
·暂停第一定时器。
在一个示例中,基于第一时间信息,直接停止T310定时器和/或停止数据非激活态定时器。可选地,“直接停止”可理解为取消第一定时器,或将第一定时器的计数数值置为0。
在一个示例中,基于第一时间信息,暂停T310定时器和/或暂停数据非激活态定时器。可选地,“暂停”可理解为保留第一定时器的计数数值不变,不再增加或减小第一定时器的计数数值。
在一些实施例中,在执行GNSS测量的时刻,停止用于判决RLF的定时器。
在一些实施例中,在执行GNSS测量的时刻,暂停用于判决RLF的定时器。
在一些实施例中,在执行GNSS测量的时刻,停止用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器。
在一些实施例中,在执行GNSS测量的时刻,暂停用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器。
在一些实施例中,在GNSS信息过期的时刻,停止用于判决RLF的定时器。
在一些实施例中,在GNSS信息过期的时刻,暂停用于判决RLF的定时器。
在一些实施例中,在GNSS信息过期的时刻,停止用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器。
在一些实施例中,在GNSS信息过期的时刻,暂停用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器。
在一些实施例中,在GNSS测量间隙的开始时刻,停止用于判决RLF的定时器。
在一些实施例中,在GNSS测量间隙的开始时刻,暂停用于判决RLF的定时器。
在一些实施例中,在GNSS测量间隙的开始时刻,停止用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器。
在一些实施例中,在GNSS测量间隙的开始时刻,暂停用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器。
在一些实施例中,在卫星切换的开始时刻,停止用于判决RLF的定时器。
在一些实施例中,在卫星切换的开始时刻,暂停用于判决RLF的定时器。
在一些实施例中,在卫星切换的开始时刻,停止用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器。
在一些实施例中,在卫星切换的开始时刻,暂停用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器。
值得说明的是,上述实施例还可以再行组合,形成新的实施例。
在一些实施例中,T310定时器需要连续计数个数达到阈值才会启动和/或停止,则推荐在第一时间停止T310定时器,以便在T310定时器重新启动后再重新连续计数。此时,T310定时器的工作机制更加符合T310定时器的设计初衷。
在一些实施例中,数据非激活态定时器用于计时终端设备的数据传输时长,以判断是否从连接态进入空闲态,由于停止数据非激活态定时器会将已计时的时长清零,因此更推荐在第一时间暂停数据非激活态定时器,以保留已计时的时长。
在一些实施例中,在执行GNSS测量的时刻,停止T310定时器;以及在执行GNSS测量的时刻,暂停数据非激活态定时器。
在一些实施例中,在卫星切换的开始时刻,停止T310定时器;以及在卫星切换的开始时刻,暂停数据非激活态定时器。
综上所述,本申请实施例基于与GNSS测量和/或卫星切换有关的时间信息,对第一定时器执行第一操作,使终端设备避免在GNSS测量和/或卫星切换期间进入空闲态。一方面,在GNSS测量期间和/或卫星切换期间,终端设备按照相关协议不会认为此时发生RLF并不会触发RRC连接重建,由此使得终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后能够直接进行数据传输,避免执行RRC连接重建而导致数据传输延迟;另一方面,在GNSS测量期间和/或卫星切换期间,终端设备按照相关协议避免进入空闲态,终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后不需要消耗更多的电量用于重建RRC连接,而且也能够避免执行RRC连接重建而导致数据传输延迟的情况,从而使终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或卫星切换后能够尽快进行数据传输。
在第一定时器是用于判决RLF的定时器(例如T310定时器)的情况下,本申请实施例使得终端设备在GNSS测量期间和/或卫星切换期间不会触发RRC连接重建,终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后仍处于RRC连接态,因此终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后能够尽快进行数据传输。
在第一定时器是用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器(例如数据非激活态定时器)的情况下,本申请实施例使得终端设备在GNSS测量期间和/或卫星切换期间不会触发离开连接态并进入空闲态的过程,终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后仍处于RRC连接态,因此终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后能够尽快进行数据传输。
在一些实施例中,基于上述终端设备基于第一时间信息对第一定时器执行的第一操作,终端设备对应的基于第二时间信息对第二定时器执行第二操作。在一些实施例中,第二时间信息与第一时间信息对应,如第一时间信息对应GNSS测量的开始时刻,则第二时间信息对应GNSS测量的结束时刻。但需要说明的是,本实施例可以独立运行。
图3是本申请一个示例性实施例提供的基于定时器的操作执行方法的流程图。所述方法由终端设备执行,包括:
步骤220:基于第二时间信息,对第二定时器执行第二操作。
在获取到第二时间信息的情况下,对第二定时器执行第二操作。
在一些实施例中,第二时间信息是与GNSS测量和/或卫星切换有关的时间信息。在一些实施例中,第二时间信息是与GNSS测量的结束或停止有关的时间信息。在一些实施例中,第二时间信息是与卫星切换的结束或停止有关的时间信息。可选地,该卫星切换包括卫星软切换和卫星硬切换中的至少一种。
在一个示例中,该卫星切换包括卫星硬切换,在卫星硬切换期间,为了避免切换前后的两个通信卫星出现同频干扰,因此终端设备在卫星硬切换期间需要先与当前的通信卫星中断连接,再与新的通信卫星建立新连接。
在一些实施例中,第二时间信息包括以下第二时间中的至少一种:
·完成GNSS测量的时刻;
·获取GNSS测量结果的时刻;
·GNSS测量间隙的结束时刻;
·卫星切换的完成时刻。
在一些实施例中,第二时间信息和第一时间信息存在对应关系。在一个示例中,完成GNSS测量的时刻与执行GNSS测量的时刻对应。在一个示例中,获取GNSS测量结果的时刻与GNSS信息过期的时刻对应;在一个示例中,GNSS测量间隙的结束时刻与GNSS测量间隙的开始时刻对应;在一个示例中,卫星切换的完成时刻与卫星切换的开始时刻对应。
在一些实施例中,上述卫星切换的开始时刻由网络设备(比如基站或核心网设备)进行指示。
网络设备指示卫星切换的开始时刻的方式包括以下至少一种:
·系统消息广播;
·RRC专用信令;
·MAC CE;
·PDCCH。
应当理解的是,终端设备执行第二操作的时间和第二时间是一致的或是同步的。一般情况下,由于客观条件下存在一定的时间延迟,因此执行第二操作的时间可能会稍晚于第二时间。
在一些实施例中,第二定时器是在超时时会触发终端设备与卫星之间中断通信的定时器。
在一些实施例中,第二定时器包括以下至少一种:
·用于判决RLF的定时器;
·用于启动连接态邻区测量的定时器;
·用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器。
在一些实施例中,用于判决RLF的定时器包括:T310定时器。可选地,在终端设备进入无线链路检测时,当连续收到的下行失步指示(out of sync)个数等于第一参数时,则会触发定时器T310定时器的启动。如果在T310定时器持续运行的过程中,连续又收到下行同步指示(in sync)的个数等于第二参数时,则停止T310定时器,指示链路同步已恢复。在T310定时器超时的情况下,则认为检测到无线链路失败,将触发RRC连接重建过程。可选地,第一参数包括N310。可选地,第二参数包括N311。
在一些实施例中,用于启动连接态邻区测量的定时器包括:T326定时器。终端设备只有在T326定时器运行的情况下,才会启动邻区测量。
在一些实施例中,用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器包括:数据非激活态定时器(Data Inactivity Timer)。可选地,终端设备在发送完数据处于连接态的情况下,启动数据非激活态定时器。在数据非激活态定时器超时的情况下,终端设备则离开连接态进入空闲态。
在一些实施例中,第二操作是用于恢复第一操作对定时器正常运行影响的操作。在一些实施例中,第二操作是用于在除GNSS测量和/或卫星切换有关的时间段之外,恢复第一操作对定时器正常运行影响的操作。在一些实施例中,第二操作用于触发终端设备在除GNSS测 量和/或卫星切换有关的时间段继续运行第一定时器。
在一些实施例中,第二操作包括:

图4是本申请一个示例性实施例提供的基于定时器的操作执行方法的流程图。所述方法由终端设备执行,包括:
步骤320:在第一定时器在第一时间段内超时的情况下,不执行第三操作。

在一些实施例中,用于判决RLF的定时器包括:T310定时器。可选地,在终端设备进入无线链路检测时,当连续收到的下行失步指示(out of sync)个数等于第一参数时,则会触发定时器T310定时器的启动。如果在T310定时器持续运行的过程中,连续又收到下行同步指示(in sync)的个数等于第二参数时,则停止T310定时器,指示链路同步已恢复。在T310定时器超时的情况下,则认为检测到无线链路失败,将触发RRC连接重建过程。可选地,第一参数包括N310。可选地,第二参数包括N311。
在一些实施例中,第一定时器包括:用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器。在用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器在第一时间段内超时的情况下,第三操作包括进入空闲态。也即在用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器在第一时间段内超时的情况下,不进入空闲态。
在一些实施例中,用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器包括:数据非激活态定时器(Data Inactivity Timer)。可选地,终端设备在发送完数据处于连接态的情况下,启动数据非激活态定时器。在数据非激活态定时器超时的情况下,终端设备则离开连接态进入空闲态。
综上所述,本申请实施例基于与GNSS测量和/或卫星切换有关的时间段,在第一定时器在与GNSS测量和/或卫星切换有关的时间段内超时的情况下,不执行第三操作。一方面,在GNSS测量期间和/或卫星切换期间,终端设备不执行RRC连接重建,由此使得终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后能够直接进行数据传输,避免执行RRC连接重建而导致数据传输延迟;另一方面,在GNSS测量期间和/或卫星切换期间,终端设备避免进入空闲态,从而在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后不需要消耗更多的电量用于重建RRC连接,而且也能够避免执行RRC连接重建而导致数据传输延迟的情况,从而使终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或卫星切换后能够尽快进行数据传输。
在第一定时器是用于判决RLF的定时器(例如T310定时器)的情况下,本申请实施例使得终端设备在GNSS测量期间和/或卫星切换期间不会触发RRC连接重建,终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后仍处于RRC连接态,因此终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后能够尽快进行数据传输。
在第一定时器是用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器(例如数据非激活态定时器)的情况下,本申请实施例使得终端设备在GNSS测量期间和/或卫星切换期间不会触发离开连 接态并进入空闲态的过程,终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后仍处于RRC连接态,因此终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后能够尽快进行数据传输。
在一些实施例中,第一定时器在第一时间段以外超时,则如图5所示,上述方法还包括:
步骤340:在第一定时器在第一时间段以外超时的情况下,执行第三操作。
在一些实施例中,第一时间段是与GNSS测量和/或卫星切换有关的时间段。在一些实施例中,第一时间段是与GNSS测量的开始和结束有关的时间段,或是与GNSS测量的启动和停止有关的时间段。在一些实施例中,第一时间段是与卫星切换的开始和结束有关的时间段,或是与卫星切换的启动和停止有关的时间段。可选地,该卫星切换包括卫星软切换和卫星硬切换中的至少一种。
在一个示例中,该卫星切换包括卫星硬切换,在卫星硬切换期间,为了避免切换前后的两个通信卫星出现同频干扰,因此终端设备在卫星硬切换期间需要先与当前的通信卫星中断连接,再与新的通信卫星建立新连接。
在一些实施例中,第一时间段是从第一时间到第二时间的时间段。
第一时间包括以下至少一种:
·执行GNSS测量的时刻;
·GNSS信息过期的时刻;
·GNSS测量间隙的开始时刻;
·卫星切换的开始时刻。
第二时间包括以下至少一种:
·完成GNSS测量的时刻;
·获取GNSS测量结果的时刻;

·卫星切换的完成时刻。
在一些实施例中,第一时间和第二时间存在对应关系。
在一个示例中,第一时间段是从执行GNSS测量到完成GNSS测量的时间段。
在一个示例中,第一时间段是从GNSS信息过期到获取GNSS测量结果的时间段。
在一个示例中,第一时间段是从GNSS测量间隙开始到GNSS测量间隙结束的时间段。
在一个示例中,第一时间段是从卫星切换开始到卫星切换完成的时间段。
在一些实施例中,上述卫星切换的开始时刻由网络设备(比如基站或核心网设备)进行指示。
网络设备指示卫星切换的开始时刻的方式包括以下至少一种:
·系统消息广播;
·RRC专用信令;
·MAC CE;
·PDCCH。
在一些实施例中,第三操作是与终端设备与卫星之间中断通信有关的操作。
在一些实施例中,第一定时器包括:用于判决RLF的定时器。在用于判决RLF的定时器在第一时间段以外超时的情况下,第三操作包括触发RLF和/或执行RRC连接重建。也即在用于判决RLF的定时器在第一时间段以外超时的情况下,触发RLF和/或执行RRC连接重建。
在一些实施例中,用于判决RLF的定时器包括:T310定时器。可选地,在终端设备进入无线链路检测时,当连续收到的下行失步指示(out of sync)个数等于第一参数时,则会触发定时器T310定时器的启动。如果在T310定时器持续运行的过程中,连续又收到下行同步指示(in sync)的个数等于第二参数时,则停止T310定时器,指示链路同步已恢复。在T310 定时器超时的情况下,则认为检测到无线链路失败,将触发RRC连接重建过程。可选地,第一参数包括N310。可选地,第二参数包括N311。
在一些实施例中,第一定时器包括:用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器。在用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器在第一时间段以外超时的情况下,第三操作包括进入空闲态。也即在用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器在第一时间段以外超时的情况下,进入空闲态。
在一些实施例中,用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器包括:数据非激活态定时器(Data Inactivity Timer)。可选地,终端设备在发送完数据处于连接态的情况下,启动数据非激活态定时器。在数据非激活态定时器超时的情况下,终端设备则离开连接态进入空闲态。
综上所述,本申请实施例基于与GNSS测量和/或卫星切换有关的时间段,在第一定时器不在与GNSS测量和/或卫星切换有关的时间段内超时的情况下,执行第三操作。一方面,终端设备不在GNSS测量期间和/或卫星切换期间执行RRC连接重建,由此使得终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后能够直接进行数据传输,避免执行RRC连接重建而导致数据传输延迟;另一方面,终端设备不在GNSS测量期间和/或卫星切换期间进入空闲态,使得在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后不需要消耗更多的电量用于重建RRC连接,而且也能够避免执行RRC连接重建而导致数据传输延迟的情况。
在第一定时器是用于判决RLF的定时器(例如T310定时器)的情况下,本申请实施例使得终端设备不在GNSS测量期间和/或卫星切换期间触发RRC连接重建,终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后仍处于RRC连接态,因此终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后能够尽快进行数据传输。
在第一定时器是用于判决离开连接态进入空闲态的定时器(例如数据非激活态定时器)的情况下,本申请实施例使得终端设备不在GNSS测量期间和/或卫星切换期间触发离开连接态并进入空闲态的过程,终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后仍处于RRC连接态,因此终端设备在完成GNSS测量和/或完成卫星切换后能够尽快进行数据传输。
