[0029] First, some concepts and conventional operating methods involved in the application embodiments are briefly described.

[0030] The fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5th-Generation, 5G) New Radio (New Radio, NR) is a topic recently proposed in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) organization. As the discussion of the new generation of 5G technology gradually deepens, on the one hand, since the communication system is backward compatible, the new technology developed later tends to be compatible with the previously standardized technology; on the other hand, since there are already a large number of existing designs in the 4G LTE system, in order to achieve compatibility, a lot of 5G flexibility must be sacrificed, thereby reducing performance. Therefore, there are currently two directions of parallel research in the 3GPP organization, among which the technical discussion group that does not consider backward compatibility is called 5G NR.

[0031] The main application scenarios of 5G are: enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra-reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC), and massive machine type of communication (mMTC). Among them, eMBB still aims at users to obtain multimedia content, services and data, and its demand is growing rapidly. On the other hand, since eMBB may be deployed in different scenarios, such as indoors, urban areas, and rural areas, its capabilities and requirements are also quite different, so it cannot be generalized and must be analyzed in detail in combination with specific deployment scenarios. Typical applications of URLLC include: industrial automation, power automation, remote medical operations (surgery), traffic safety, etc. Typical characteristics of mMTC include: high connection density, small data volume, latency-insensitive services, low cost and long service life of modules, etc.

[0032] In the 5G network environment, some of the above scenarios do not require the terminal to report the measurement results, even if the measurement time is triggered or the measurement reporting cycle has arrived. For example, in the high-speed train scenario, there is only one cell in the neighboring area of ​​the service cell. In the conditional switching scenario, the network side does not need to know the measurement results of the terminal. The terminal only needs to switch to the target cell autonomously based on the measurement results combined with the network side and the configured switching conditions. For another example, in the mMTC scenario, due to the massive connection of MTC devices, the measurement reports are also massive, which has a great impact on the air interface signaling load. This type of terminal may not have high requirements for mobility or timeliness of service data, so it may not be necessary to deal with mobility issues at this time. You can wait for the wireless link failure to occur, and then restore the connection through RRC connection reconstruction.

[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0034] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a possible network architecture of an example communication system provided in an embodiment of the present application. The example communication system may be, for example, a 5G NR system and other such communication systems. The example communication system specifically includes a network device and a terminal. When the terminal accesses the mobile communication network provided by the network device, the terminal and the network device may be connected by a wireless link communication. The communication connection mode may be a single connection mode, a dual connection mode, or a multi-connection mode. When the communication connection mode is a single connection mode, the network device may be an LTE base station or an NR base station (also known as a gNB base station). When the communication mode is a dual connection mode (specifically, it may be implemented by carrier aggregation (CA) technology, or multiple network devices), and the terminal is connected to multiple network devices, the multiple network devices may be a main base station MCG and a secondary base station SCG. The base stations transmit data back through a backhaul link backhaul. The main base station may be an LTE base station, and the secondary base station may be an LTE base station, or the main base station may be an NR base station, and the secondary base station may be an LTE base station, or the main base station may be an NR base station, and the secondary base station may be an LTE base station, or the main base station may be an NR base station, and the secondary base station may be an NR base station.
