  • the process of determining the target cell for cell reselection is similar to that of the LTE system, and the principle of giving priority to reselecting cells on high-priority frequencies is adopted, including: (1) For cell reselection on high-priority frequencies, the signal quality is required to be higher than a certain threshold and last for a specified time, and the terminal device stays in the source cell for no less than 1 second; (2) For cell reselection on the same frequency and the same priority frequency, the R criterion (sorted by RSRP) must be met, the signal quality of the new cell must be better than the current cell and last for a specified time, and the terminal device stays in the source cell for no less than 1 second; (3) For cell reselection on low-priority frequencies, it is required that no cell on the high-priority frequency and the same priority frequency meets the requirements, the signal quality of the source cell is lower than a certain threshold, the signal quality of the cell on the low-priority frequency is
  • the LTE system will select the best cell as the target cell for reselection by RSRP sorting. Since the terminal device in the NR system accesses the cell through beams, in order to increase the probability of the terminal device successfully accessing through a good beam during the access process, it is necessary to consider both the cell signal quality and the number of good beams when determining the target cell. To achieve this goal, the NR system first selects the best multiple cells with similar signal quality before selecting the target cell, and then selects the cell with the largest number of good beams as the target cell.
  • the mobility management of RRC connected terminal devices is mainly achieved through the switching process controlled by the network.
  • the NR system inherits the switching process of the LTE system, which mainly includes three stages: switching preparation, switching execution and switching completion.
  • the source base station will make a switching decision after receiving the measurement report sent by the UE and initiate a switching request to the target base station.

接下来,对接收机系统进行介绍:
图1示出了相关技术提供的接收机系统100的示意图。接收机系统100包括唤醒接收机(Wake-Up Receiver,WUR)110和主接收机(main radio)120。
在一些实施例中,主接收机120可等同理解为主收发信机,或主空口通信单元。
为了进一步节电,引入WUR用于接收唤醒信号。唤醒接收机具有极低成本、极低复杂度和极低功耗的特点,其主要通过基于包络检测的方式接收唤醒信号。因此,唤醒接收机接收的唤醒信号(Wake Up Signal,WUS)与相关标准定义的基于物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control CHannel,PDCCH)承载的信号的调制方式、波形等不同。唤醒信号主要通过对载波信号进行振幅键控(Amplitude Shift Keying,ASK)调制的包络信号。包络信号的解调也可通过无线射频信号提供的能量驱动低功耗电路来完成,因此它可以是无源的。唤醒接收机也可以通过终端设备进行有源供电,无论哪种供电方式,该接收机相比传统接收机极大的降低了功耗,例如WUR可以实现小于1毫瓦的功耗,远低于主接收机几十至几百毫瓦的功耗。唤醒接收机可以和终端设备结合在一起,作为终端设备的接收机的一个附加模块,也可以单独作为一个终端设备的唤醒功能模块。
如图1所示,初始状态下,唤醒接收机110处于唤醒状态,主接收机120处于关闭状态。唤醒接收机110接收唤醒信号,根据唤醒信号的指示确定是否需要唤醒主接收机120。如果需要唤醒主接收机120,网络设备可以通过发送唤醒信号给唤醒接收机110,由唤醒接收机110在接收到该唤醒信号后唤醒主接收机120。否则,主接收机120保持处于关闭状态。
在一些实施例中,当唤醒信号被发送时,用于指示唤醒;当唤醒信号未被发送时,用于指示不唤醒。
在一些实施例中,当发送携带唤醒指示的唤醒信号时,用于指示唤醒;当发送携带不唤醒指示的唤醒信号时,用于指示不唤醒。
接下来,对开关键控(On-Off Keying,OOK)调制进行介绍:
唤醒接收机110接收的信号,可以称为WUR信号。WUR信号采用了较为简单的调制方法,以满足具有极低功耗、极低复杂度的唤醒接收机110的接收条件。其中,唤醒信号(WUS)是WUR信号中的一种。WUR信号的产生方法采用了OOK调制。OOK调制原理是将载波信号的幅度调制为非零值和零值,分别对应开(On)和关(Off),用来表示信息比特,OOK又名二进制振幅键控(2ASK)。
图2示出了相关技术提供的OOK调制过程的示意图。WUR编码器210将信息比特转换为相应的开启波形生成(On-Waveform Generation,On-WG)信号和关闭波形生成(Off-Waveform Generation,Off-WG)信号。On-WG信号表示"1",Off-WG表示"0"。使用窗口(window)220来控制On-WG信号和Off-WG信号的持续时间,以便在适当的时间内传输每个比特。在模拟和射频模块230,将On-WG信号和Off-WG信号转换为模拟信号,并进行射频调制。
上述OOK信号是通过多载波(Multi-carrier,MC)产生的,因此称为多载波开关键控(MC-OOK)信号。MC-OOK信号的产生可以采用多载波调制,例如正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM)调制,可以与相关OFDM系统保持良好的兼容性。
图3示出了相关技术提供的MC-OOK信号的示意图。通过在频域上的多个子载波映射相应的幅度值,通过离散傅里叶逆变换(Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform,IDFT)转到时域信号的波形近似于ASK调制形成的波形,其中比特1通过信号的高电平表示,比特0通过信号的低电平表示。
接下来,对无线资源管理(Radio Resource Management,RRM)测量进行介绍:
对于无线通信系统,小区质量、波束质量的精准测量是其有效执行无线资源管理、移动性管理的基础。对于5G NR,作为测量参考信号的主要是同步信号块(Synchronization Signal Block,SSB)和信道状态信息参考信号(Channel State Information Reference Signal,CSI-RS)。
SSB测量时间配置(SSB Measurement Timing Configuration,SMTC)是SSB测量的时域资源配置信息,其主要用于配置基于SSB测量的一组测量窗口(SMTC窗口),可通过配置参数调节SMTC窗口的大小、位置、周期等参数。
图4示出了相关技术提供的SMTC的示意图。示例性的,每个SMTC窗口中的SSB集合包括8个SSB,例如SSB突发集合包括编号0至7共8个SSB。每个SMTC窗口大小为5毫秒,第一个SMTC窗口到第二个SMTC窗口之间的SMTC窗口周期为40毫秒,SSB传输周期为20毫秒。
终端设备在做测量时,每个频点上分别对应一套SMTC配置用来指示该频点上的可用测量窗口信息。不过,这一限制条件也在逐渐放松,为了匹配不同的小区分别对应的不同的同步信号块周期,允许连接态同频测量时配置两套SMTC配置用于指定小区测量,例如除了基本的SMTC配置外,还可以再配置一套较为密集的测量窗口,用于服务小区及指定小区列表内所指示的小区使用。空闲态的测量也将各频点上的最大SMTC配置数量扩增到了两个,以进一步满足网络运营的灵活性。
高层信令可通过参考信号配置(ReferenceSignalConfig)参数来指示具体测量参考信号的指定配置信息。对于基于SSB的测量来说,待测量SSB指示(SSB-ToMeasure)利用比特位图指示SSB突发集合中的实际发送的SSB的位置信息,终端设备可以通过待测量SSB指示知道哪些SSB候选位置实际发送了SSB,哪些SSB候选位置没有发送SSB。终端设备不需要在没有发送SSB的SSB候选位置执行测量,从而实现了终端设备的节能。
对于基于CSI-RS的测量来说,网络设备可通过高层信令配置一个或多个CSI-RS资源供终端设备做测量。以小区为单位,高层信令可给出小区级别的CSI-RS配置参数,例如小区标识(IDentification,ID)、小区的测量带宽、资源密度等信息。此外,由于每个小区可配置多个CSI-RS资源,参数配置中还会给出各个CSI-RS资源级别的配置信息,例如指定的CSI-RS索引,该CSI-RS资源所占用的时域、频域位置信息,序列生成方式等。
接下来,对终端设备的移动性管理进行介绍:
NR系统中终端设备的移动性管理包括:RRC空闲态(RRC_IDLE)或RRC非激活态(RRC_INACTIVE)移动性管理,以及RRC连接态(RRC_CONNECTED)移动性管理。其中,RRC空闲态或RRC非激活态移动性管理包括小区选择和重选过程,RRC连接态移动性管理包括RRC连接态的切换过程。
1、RRC空闲态(RRC_IDLE)或RRC非激活态(RRC_INACTIVE)移动性管理:
对于RRC空闲态或RRC非激活态的终端设备,能够驻留在某个小区的前提是该小区的信号质量满足小区选择S准则,即该小区对应的信号接收功率Srxlev>0dB,且接收的信号质量Squal>0dB,该小区的信号质量包括参考信号接收功率(Reference Signal Received Power,RSRP)和参考信号接收质量(Reference  Signal Received Quality,RSRQ)的测量结果。终端设备选择到合适的小区后会持续进行小区重选的评估,评估小区重选所要执行的测量是按照各个频点的重选优先级来划分并进行的,具体包括:(1)对于高优先级频点,邻小区测量是始终执行的;(2)对于同频频点,当服务小区的RSRP值和RSRQ值均高于网络设备配置的同频测量门限时,终端设备可以停止同频邻小区测量,否则需要进行测量;(3)对于同优先级频点和低优先级频点,当服务小区的RSRP值和RSRQ值均高于网络设备配置的异频测量门限时,终端设备可以停止同优先级频点和低优先级频点的邻小区测量,否则需要进行测量。
通过测量获取多个候选小区后,如何确定小区重选的目标小区的过程与LTE系统类似,采取高优先级频点上的小区优先重选的原则,具体包括:(1)对于高优先级频点上的小区重选,要求其信号质量高于一定门限且持续指定时间长度,且终端设备驻留在源小区时间不短于1秒;(2)对于同频频点和同优先级频点上的小区重选,需要满足R准则(按照RSRP排序),新小区信号质量好于当前小区且持续指定时间长度,且终端设备驻留在源小区时间不短于1秒;(3)对于低优先级频点上的小区重选,需要没有高优先级频点和同优先级频点上小区符合要求,源小区信号质量低于一定门限,低优先级频点上小区信号质量高于一定门限且持续指定时间长度,且终端设备驻留在源小区时间不短于1秒。
在同频频点和同优先级频点上的小区重选过程中,当出现多个候选小区都满足要求时,LTE系统会通过RSRP排序的方式选出最好的小区作为重选的目标小区。由于NR系统中终端设备是通过波束接入小区的,为了增加接入过程中终端设备通过好的波束接入成功的概率,确定目标小区的时候需要同时兼顾小区信号质量和好的波束个数。为了达到这一目的,NR系统在选择目标小区前先挑选信号质量相近的最好的多个小区,然后选择好的波束个数最多的小区作为目标小区。
2、RRC连接态(RRC_CONNECTED)移动性管理:
RRC连接态终端设备的移动性管理主要通过网络控制的切换过程来实现,NR系统继承了LTE系统的切换流程,主要包括切换准备,切换执行和切换完成三个阶段。
以网络设备是基站,终端设备是用户设备(User Equipment,UE)为例进行说明,在切换准备阶段,源基站收到UE发送的测量上报后会做出切换判断并向目标基站发起切换请求,如果目标小区接纳了该切换请求,则会通过基站间接口发送切换应答消息给源基站,该切换应答消息中包含了目标小区的配置信息,即切换命令。
在切换执行阶段,源基站将切换命令发送给UE。UE收到切换命令后即断开源小区的连接,开始与目标小区建立下行同步,然后利用切换命令中配置的随机接入资源向目标小区发起随机接入过程,并在随机接入完成时上报切换完成消息。UE在接入目标小区的过程中,源基站将用户面功能(User Plane Function,UPF)传来的数据包转发给目标基站,并将转发前源小区内上下行数据包收发的状态信息发送给目标基站。
在切换完成阶段,目标基站向接入和移动管理功能(Access and Mobility Management Function,AMF)发送路径转换请求,请求AMF将UPF到接入网的数据包传输路径转换到目标基站侧。一旦AMF响应了该请求,则表明路径转换成功,目标基站就可以指示源基站释放UE的上下文信息了。至此,整个UE的连接就切换到了目标小区内。
接下来,对RRM测量放松机制进行介绍:
处于非连接态的终端设备需要基于网络设备的配置,对服务小区以及其他邻小区执行RRM测量以支持移动性操作,例如小区重选等。出于终端设备节能的考虑,当终端设备在服务小区的信道质量较好时,终端设备可以不启动针对同频频点以及同等优先级或低优先级的异频/异系统频点的RRM测量,同时针对高优先级的异频/异系统频点的RRM测量可以增大测量间隔,具体包括:(1)当终端设备在服务小区上的RSRP高于SIntraSearchP,且终端设备在服务小区上的RSRQ高于SIntraSearchQ时,终端设备可以不启动针对同频频点邻小区的RRM测量,SIntraSearchP和SIntraSearchQ是网络设备配置的门限参数。(2)当终端设备在服务小区上的RSRP高于SnonIntraSearchP,且终端设备在服务小区上的RSRQ高于SnonIntraSearchQ时,终端设备可以不启动针对同等优先级或低优先级的异频/异系统频点邻小区的RRM测量,SnonIntraSearchP和SnonIntraSearchQ是网络设备配置的门限参数。同时,对于高优先级的异频/异系统的频点,终端设备可以采用RRM测量放松机制。
对于需要执行邻小区RRM测量的终端设备,采用针对邻小区的RRM测量放松机制,以进一步满足终端设备省电的需求。
针对终端设备的RRM测量引入RRM测量放松准则,包括:“终端设备不位于小区边缘”准则和“低移动性”准则。这两种准则都是以终端设备在服务小区上的“小区级”测量结果来进行衡量的。下面分别针对这两种准则进行介绍。
1、“终端设备不位于小区边缘”准则;
针对该准则,网络设备会配置一个RSRP门限,当终端设备在服务小区上的RSRP大于该RSRP门限时,认为终端设备满足“终端设备不位于小区边缘”准则。
网络设备还可以配置一个RSRP门限和一个RSRQ门限,当终端设备在服务小区上的RSRP大于该RSRP门限,并且终端设备在服务小区上的RSRQ大于该RSRQ门限时,认为终端设备满足“终端设备不位于小区边缘”准则。
网络设备配置的用于RSRP门限需小于SIntraSearchP和SnonIntraSearchP。如果网络设备同时配置了RSRQ门限,则该RSRQ门限需小于SIntraSearchQ和SnonIntraSearchQ。
2、“低移动性”准则;
针对该准则,网络设备会配置RSRP变化的评估时长TSearchDeltaP和RSRP变化值门限SSearchDeltaP,当一段时间(TSearchDeltaP)内终端设备在服务小区上的RSRP变化量小于SSearchDeltaP时,则认为该终端设备满足“低移动性”准则。
一般来说,RRM测量的耗电可以通过RRM测量放松机制来省电。通过RRM测量放松机制可以增加对邻小区进行RRM测量的时间间隔,但是,进行RRM测量发送的判断条件是基于服务小区的测量结果的,而服务小区的RRM测量并没有做放松。即使引入了WUS,通过WUR接收WUS来触发主接收机的开启,但如果主接收机因为RRM测量需要定期地开启,那么引入的WUS带来的省电效果会大打折扣,省电增益无法体现。
因此,可以考虑通过WUR代替主接收机进行RRM测量。但只需RRM测量时采用的RRM测量配置并不是一成不变的。支持WUR和主接收机工作的终端设备尤其面临这一问题,若工作接收机、工作带宽、测量对象等因素发生变化,都可能需要终端设备切换RRM测量配置。
通过WUR执行RRM测量,可以是WUR通过例如SSB或CSI-RS等信号执行RRM测量,这要求唤醒接收机具有检测OFDM信号的能力,对唤醒接收机的复杂度要求较高。而具有低功耗、低复杂度的低功耗唤醒接收机(Low Power Wake-Up Receiver,LP-WUR)在节能上更有优势,其接收的信号的波形具有低的解调复杂度,例如OOK,频移键控(Frequency Shift Keying,FSK)信号波形。LP-WUR接收的唤醒信号还可以称为低功耗唤醒信号(Low Power Wake-Up Signal,LP-WUS)。LP-WUR接收的同步信号还可以称为低功耗同步信号(Low Power Synchronization Signal,LP-SS),LP-WUR接收的参考信号还可以称为低功耗参考信号(Low Power Reference Signal,LP-RS),本申请实施例中,LP-SS和/或LP-RS都可以用于RRM测量。示例性的,LP-WUR可以通过LP-SS执行RRM测量,LP-WUR也可以通过LP-SS执行RRM测量,LP-WUR还可以通过SSB和/或CSI-RS执行RRM测量。

在一些实施例中,步骤610可以实现为步骤830,如图8所示。可选的,图8所示的测量配置的确定方法中还可以包括步骤810。
图8示出了本申请一个示例性实施例提供的测量配置的确定方法的流程图,该方法由终端设备执行,该方法包括:
步骤810:发送能力信息,能力信息用于指示终端设备支持网络设备发送配置信息和/或终端设备支持根据触发事件确定RRM测量配置。
也可以理解为,终端设备上报的能力信息,用于指示第一能力(Capability 1)和/或第二能力(Capability 2);其中,第一能力表示终端设备支持网络设备发送配置信息,第二能力表示终端设备支持根据触发事件确定RRM测量配置。
其中,第一能力也可以理解为:终端设备支持网络设备指示RRM测量配置的切换。第二能力也可以理解为:终端设备支持自主确定RRM测量配置。
需要注意的是,步骤810为可选步骤。并且,网络设备可以参考能力信息来发送配置信息和/或触发信息,也可以不参考能力信息来发送配置信息和/或触发信息。示例性的,即使终端设备发送了能力信息,网络设备在发送配置信息和/或触发终端设备确定RRM测量配置时,也可以不考虑终端设备上报的能力信息。
在一些实施例中,终端设备的能力信息用于指示第一能力,则网络设备向终端设备发送配置信息,以便于终端设备根据配置信息确定RRM测量配置。
在一些实施例中,无论终端设备是否上报能力信息、上报何种能力信息,只要网络设备向终端设备发送了配置信息,终端设备都根据配置信息确定RRM测量配置。
在一些实施例中,终端设备的能力信息用于指示第二能力,则网络设备向终端设备发送触发信息,以便于终端设备根据第一类触发事件确定RRM测量配置。
在一些实施例中,终端设备的能力信息用于指示第二能力,则网络设备不向终端设备发送配置信息。
步骤830:在第一测量配置集和/或第二测量配置集中,根据触发事件确定RRM测量配置。
根据触发事件确定RRM测量配置,也可以理解为,由事件触发切换RRM测量配置。由于无需网络侧直接指示RRM测量配置的切换,根据触发事件确定RRM测量配置,还可以认为是终端设备自主确定RRM测量配置。
在一些实施例中,触发事件包括第一类触发事件和/或第二类触发事件;其中,第一类触发事件由触发信息触发,第二类触发事件由触发条件触发。
首先介绍终端设备根据第一类触发事件确定RRM测量配置的相关内容:
其中,触发信息与如下至少之一有关:BWP的切换、唤醒信号的带宽变化、测量对象的变化、唤醒信号的激活、唤醒信号的去激活、辅小区的激活、辅小区的去激活、降低功耗的指示。
可选的,触发信息由网络设备发送。可选的,触发信息通过如下至少之一传输:系统消息、广播消息、下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)、MAC CE、RRC信令。
在一些实施例中,第一类触发事件包括激活BWP从第一BWP切换为第二BWP。若MO位于第二BWP内且不位于第一BWP内,则终端设备去激活与MO关联的Pre-MG。若MO位于第一BWP内但不位于第二BWP内,则终端设备激活与MO关联的Pre-MG。
在一些实施例中,终端设备接收触发信息,该触发信息用于指示激活BWP从第一BWP切换为第二BWP。由此,终端设备根据第一类触发事件确定RRM测量配置。
在一些实施例中,BWP的切换由网络设备指示。示例性的,网络设备发送DCI指示终端设备从第一BWP切换为第二BWP。示例性的,网络设备发送RRC信令、RRC重配信令来触发终端设备从第一BWP切换为第二BWP。
在一些实施例中,第一类触发事件包括唤醒信号的带宽从第一带宽切换为第二带宽。若MO位于第二带宽内但不位于第一带宽内,则终端设备去激活与MO关联的Pre-MG,和/或,确定MO的测量方式无需测量间隔,和/或,确定MO的测量无需中断。若MO位于第一带宽内但不位于第二带宽内,则终端设备激活与MO关联的Pre-MG,和/或,确定MO的测量需要中断。
在一些实施例中,终端设备接收触发信息,该触发信息用于指示唤醒信号的带宽从第一带宽切换为第二带宽。由此,终端设备根据第一类触发事件确定RRM测量配置。
在一些实施例中,唤醒信号的带宽由网络设备指示。示例性的,网络设备发送DCI指示终端设备将唤醒信号的带宽从第一带宽切换为第二带宽。
可以理解,唤醒信号的带宽切换,可能会影响终端设备执行RRM测量时的行为,比如是否进行射频转换(RF Tuning),比如测量是否需要测量间隔,比如是否需要激活/去激活Pre-MG,等等。
示例性的,第一带宽的宽度为5MHz,第二带宽的宽度为20MHz,第一带宽属于第二带宽。终端设备在接收到网络设备指示将唤醒信号的带宽从第一带宽切换为第二带宽后,终端设备自主地调制第一接收机的工作带宽,在测量服务小区和/或邻小区的信号时,位于第一带宽之外且位于第二带宽之内的测量信号的测量就不需要测量间隔或不需要中断了,并且,位于第一带宽之外且位于第二带宽之内的测量信号有关的Pre-MG可以被去激活。
在一些实施例中,第一类触发事件包括第一测量信号的带宽从第一带宽切换为第二带宽。若MO位于第二带宽内但不位于第一带宽内,则终端设备去激活与MO关联的Pre-MG,和/或,确定MO的测量方式无需测量间隔,和/或,确定MO的测量无需中断。若MO位于第一带宽内但不位于第二带宽内,则终端设备激活与MO关联的Pre-MG,和/或,确定MO的测量需要中断。
在一些实施例中,终端设备接收触发信息,该触发信息用于指示第一测量信号的带宽从第一带宽切换为第二带宽。由此,终端设备根据第一类触发事件确定RRM测量配置。

在一些实施例中,第一类触发事件包括测量对象发生变化,比如测量对象列表包括的MO标识发生变化,比如终端设备使用的测量对象列表发生变化。可选的,测量对象列表是MO list或MeasObjectToAddModList。
在一些实施例中,终端设备接收触发信息,该触发信息用于如下至少之一:配置测量对象、修改测量对象、重配置测量对象、删除测量对象。由此,终端设备根据第一类触发事件确定RRM测量配置。
若测量对象列表减少了第一MO标识,则终端设备确定第一MO标识对应的MO无需再测量,终端设备可以去激活第一MO标识关联的Pre-MG。若测量对象列表增加了第二MO标识,则终端设备确定第二MO标识对应的MO需要测量,终端设备可以激活第二MO标识关联的Pre-MG。
若终端设备使用的测量对象列表从第一测量对象列表切换为第二测量对象列表,则终端设备确定属于第一测量对象列表的MO无需再测量,终端设备可以去激活第一测量对象列表内的测量对象所关联的Pre-MG。若存在部分标识既属于第一测量对象列表又属于第二测量对象列表,则终端设备不去激活这部分 标识关联的Pre-MG。
若终端设备使用的测量对象列表从第一测量对象列表切换为第二测量对象列表,则终端设备确定属于第二测量对象列表需要被测量,终端设备可以激活属于第二测量对象列表内的测量对象所关联的Pre-MG。

在一些实施例中,终端设备接收触发信息,该触发信息用于激活或去激活唤醒信号。由此,终端设备根据第一类触发事件确定RRM测量配置。

在一些实施例中,唤醒信号从去激活状态变为激活状态,则终端设备确定测量信号的类型为LP-SS。示例性的,终端设备将测量信号的类型从SSB和/或CSI-RS切换为LP-SS。
在一些实施例中,唤醒信号从去激活状态变为激活状态,则终端设备增大测量时间配置周期,和/或,增大测量间隔周期,和/或,减少测量信号的数量,和/或,将测量间隔确定为网络控制小间隔(Network Control Small Gap,NCSG)。
示例性的,唤醒信号从去激活状态变为激活状态,唤醒信号的接收与第一测量信号的接收在时域上可能会产生冲突,则终端设备增加第一测量信号对应的测量时间配置周期,和/或,增大测量间隔周期,和/或,将测量间隔确定为NCSG,使得第一测量信号的测量窗口尽量避开WUS的接收时间,尽可能地避免唤醒信号与第一测量信号的接收冲突。
示例性的,唤醒信号从去激活状态变为激活状态,唤醒信号的接收可以代替部分测量功能,则终端设备减少测量信号的数量,减少一些测量信号的接收时机,以节省功耗。示例性的,终端设备将测量小区从已配置的邻区列表中的全部邻区变为邻区列表中的部分邻区,减少测量信号的测量数目。可选的,这部分邻区是邻区列表中前N个邻区;可选的,这部分邻区是邻区列表中后N个邻区;可选的,这部分邻区是邻区列表中随机选择的N个邻区。
在一些实施例中,唤醒信号从激活状态变为去激活状态,则终端设备确定RRM测量配置为第二测量配置集。
在一些实施例中,唤醒信号从激活状态变为去激活状态,则终端设备确定测量信号的类型为SSB和/或CSI-RS。示例性的,终端设备将测量信号的类型从LP-SS切换为SSB和/或CSI-RS。
在一些实施例中,唤醒信号从激活状态变为去激活状态,则终端设备减小测量时间配置周期,和/或,减小测量间隔周期,和/或,增大测量信号的数量。
在一些实施例中,唤醒信号与第一测量信号对应相同的带宽,也可以理解为,唤醒信号与第一测量信号的传输发生在相同的带宽内。这样的设计使得终端设备在测量邻区信号时,只需要使用空闲的射频通道,在NCSG的两侧产生一些中断、间隔,则可以实现第一测量信号的测量和唤醒信号的接收。
在一些实施例中,第一类触发事件包括辅小区从去激活状态变为激活状态。若MO位于辅小区的激活BWP内,则终端设备去激活与MO关联的Pre-MG。若MO位于辅小区的激活BWP之外,则终端设备激活与MO关联的Pre-MG。
在一些实施例中,第一类触发事件包括辅小区从激活状态变为去激活状态。若MO位于辅小区的激活BWP内,则终端设备激活与MO关联的Pre-MG。
在一些实施例中,终端设备接收触发信息,该触发信息用于激活或去激活辅小区。由此,终端设备根据第一类触发事件确定RRM测量配置。
在一些实施例中,辅小区的激活或去激活由网络设备通过MAC CE指示。
