Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a control method, device and system. Background Art

[0002] Carrier aggregation (CA) or dual connectivity (DC) is achieved by configuring a secondary cell (SCell) or primary secondary cell (PSCell) for user equipment (UE). Typically, before configuring an SCell or PSCell, the base station configures the UE to measure the reference signal received power (RSRP) or reference signal received quality (RSRQ) of the frequency bands containing the potential SCell or PSCell. Based on the measurement results, the base station then decides whether to configure an SCell or PSCell for the UE, or which cell to configure as the SCell or PSCell.

[0003] New radio (NR) supports rapid establishment of Carrier Access Control (CA) or Carrier Disconnect (DC) through early measurement by the UE. The basic concept is that when the UE is idle or inactive, it measures the frequency of a potential secondary cell (SCell) or primary secondary cell (PSCell). Once the measurement results are obtained, when the UE enters the connected state, they can directly report the measurement results to the base station, enabling the base station to quickly configure the SCell or PSCell for the UE. (For the convenience of subsequent descriptions, this measurement method is defined as "early measurement").

[0004] Under normal circumstances, when the UE is in idle or inactive state, it needs to perform neighbor cell measurement for primary cell (PCell) reselection to determine that the PCell serving the UE is the best cell (for the convenience of subsequent description, this measurement is defined as "reselection measurement").

[0005] The target frequency of the network configuration advance measurement may be the same as or different from the target frequency of the reselection measurement. The advance measurement is divided into:

[0006] -Overlapping carrier: The frequency point measured in advance is also the reselected measurement frequency point currently being measured by the UE

[0007] -Non-overlapping carrier: The frequency point measured in advance is not the reselected measurement frequency point currently being measured by the UE

[0008] Since the UE has limited resources for frequency measurement, the time required for the UE to measure a frequency is related to the number of frequencies to be measured. For example, the time required for the UE to measure a single frequency is 1 second. When the UE is configured with three target frequencies, the measurement time required for each frequency is 3 seconds.

[0009] If the channel conditions of the UE's serving cell are relatively good, the probability of reselection is low. From the perspective of power saving, the terminal only performs reselection measurements on high-priority target frequencies. If the channel conditions of the serving cell are relatively poor, the probability of reselection is high. From the perspective of mobility, the terminal will normally perform reselection measurements on all target frequencies.

[0010] In the prior art, considering the impact of advance measurement on reselection measurement, the Radio Access Network (RAN) 4#93 document R4-1915842 provides an example of controlling UE advance measurement based on the serving cell channel condition: when the serving cell channel condition is higher than a certain threshold, the UE performs normal advance measurement on the advance measurement frequency; when the serving cell channel condition is lower than the threshold, the UE does not perform advance measurement on the advance measurement frequency or only performs partial advance measurement.

[0011] In addition, Long Time Evolution (LTE) defines that the UE's early measurement behavior is also related to the channel conditions of the serving cell: when the channel conditions of the serving cell are good, the UE only performs early measurement on one early measurement frequency (of which there are 0-1 non-overlapping frequencies), and only performs a one-time measurement; when the channel conditions of the serving cell are poor, the UE performs early measurement on three early measurement frequencies (of which there are 0-1 non-overlapping frequencies), performs periodic measurement on overlapping frequencies, and performs a one-time measurement on non-overlapping frequencies.

[0012] Although both R4-1915842 and LTE disclose controlling the number of pre-measurement frequencies based on serving cell conditions, they do not define how the UE selects the pre-measurement frequencies. Furthermore, in LTE, the pre-measurement frequencies are currently determined by the UE, which may result in the UE selecting a measurement frequency that is not the CA / DC frequency that the base station prefers to configure.

[0013] In addition, in NR, the base station can enable the UE's power saving function. Based on the conditions configured by the base station, the UE determines whether it is in either or both of the two states: low mobility and not at the cell edge. If so, the reselection measurement requirements are relaxed, such as performing reselection measurements at longer intervals or not performing reselection measurements. If not, the reselection measurement requirements are not relaxed.

[0014] RAN4#93 document R4-1915295 proposes the need to coordinate early measurement and power saving behavior when the base station enables the UE power saving function, and provides three examples:

[0015] 1) When the UE is configured with early measurement, it does not enter the relaxed mode of early measurement;

[0016] 2) When the UE is not at the cell edge, it is allowed to perform early measurement, but the requirement for early measurement must be relaxed;

[0017] 3) When the T331 timer related to the advance measurement is running, the UE does not enter the advance measurement relaxation mode.

[0018] It can be seen that the existing technology only prioritizes early measurement, sacrificing the possibility of UE power saving and not considering the UE's mobility state. However, if the UE is in a low mobility state, it is completely unnecessary for the UE to give up power saving when performing early measurement. Summary of the Invention

[0019] The embodiments of the present application provide a control method, apparatus, and system. To ensure the performance of reselection measurement, a communication device relaxes the measurement of the frequency points of advance measurement configured by a base station, thereby reducing the impact of advance measurement on reselection measurement.

[0020] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a control method, which is executed by a communication device. When the communication device is in an idle or inactive state, the method includes: receiving N advance measurement frequency points configured by the base station and a set threshold of the reference signal received power RSRP or the reference signal received quality RSRQ for entering the relaxation mode of advance measurement, wherein the relaxation mode of advance measurement is to measure each of the N advance measurement frequency points in the advance measurement with at least one measurement behavior of normal measurement, relaxation measurement and no periodic measurement, and N is a positive integer greater than zero; when the RSRP or RSRQ value of the serving cell is less than the set threshold, determining the measurement behavior of each of the N advance measurement frequency points; and measuring each advance measurement frequency point according to the measurement behavior corresponding to each advance measurement frequency point.

[0021] In the present invention, by relaxing the advance measurement, the UE can select different measurement behaviors for different frequency points according to different frequency points such as measurement capability and priority sorting, so as to relax the processing of all advance measurement frequencies and ensure that the advance measurement is completed quickly without affecting the performance of the reselection measurement.

[0022] In one embodiment, determining the measurement behavior of each of the N advance measurement frequency points includes: determining M advance measurement frequency points to perform the normal measurement, R advance measurement frequency points to perform the relaxed measurement, and S advance measurement frequency points to perform the non-periodic measurement, where M, R, and S are all positive integers greater than zero.

[0023] In one embodiment, determining the measurement behavior of each of the N advance measurement frequency points includes: according to the type of each advance measurement frequency point, determining that a first type of advance measurement frequency point performs the normal measurement, a second type of advance measurement frequency point performs the relaxed measurement, and a third type of advance measurement frequency point performs the non-periodic measurement, and the type of each advance measurement frequency point includes the first type, the second type, and the third type.

[0024] In this invention, the UE can select different measurement behaviors for different frequencies based on its measurement capabilities and frequency priority, achieving different measurement performances and ensuring that measurements on high-priority frequencies are completed quickly. Because high-priority frequencies correspond to PSCells or SCells that the UE is more likely to add, the UE is more likely to be quickly added to CA and DC when entering the connected state.

[0025] In one embodiment, determining the measurement behavior of each of the N advance measurement frequency points includes: determining the number M of advance measurement frequency points through normal measurement, the number R of advance measurement frequency points through relaxed measurement, and the number S of advance measurement frequency points through no periodic measurement, wherein M, R, and S are all positive integers greater than zero; determining the priority of each of the N advance measurement frequency points according to the type of each advance measurement frequency point; performing the normal measurement on the top M advance measurement frequency points with the highest priority, performing the relaxed measurement on the top R advance measurement frequency points with the highest priority other than the advance measurement frequency points with the normal measurement, and performing the no periodic measurement on the top S advance measurement frequency points with the highest priority other than the advance measurement frequency points with the normal measurement and the relaxed measurement.

[0026] In the present invention, the UE can perform normal measurement on high-priority frequencies, perform relaxed measurement on second-highest-priority frequencies, and not perform periodic measurement on frequencies with lower priorities, based on the number of various measurement behaviors and the priority order of the frequencies. This ensures that important frequencies are measured in advance without affecting the reselection measurement.

[0027] In one embodiment, the determination of the number M of frequency points measured in advance through normal measurement, the number R of frequency points measured in advance through relaxed measurement, and the number S of frequency points measured in advance without periodic measurement includes: determining the maximum number of frequency points measured in advance through normal measurement, the maximum number of frequency points measured in advance through relaxed measurement, and the maximum number of frequency points measured in advance without periodic measurement based on the number of frequency points predefined in the standard, configured by the base station, or measured by reselection, and the maximum number of frequency points is used to determine the maximum number of frequency points measured in advance through the corresponding measurement behavior.

[0028] In one embodiment, the relaxation factor N1 for determining the measurement time requirement for the normal measurement is:

[0029]

[0030] Wherein, K is a relaxation factor, M is the number of frequency points for advance measurement of the normal measurement, and L is the number of reselection measurements.

[0031] In one embodiment, the relaxation factor N2 for determining the measurement time requirement of the relaxation measurement is:

[0032] N2=K·R

[0033] Wherein, K is the relaxation factor, and R is the number of frequency points measured in advance for the relaxation measurement.

[0034] In one embodiment, the method further includes: after entering the idle / inactive state or completing the reselection measurement, not entering the relaxation mode of the advance measurement within a set time period.

[0035] In the present invention, the UE is prevented from entering the early measurement immediately after entering the idle state or the inactive state or completing the reselection measurement for a period of time in order to ensure that the UE entering the relaxation mode of the early measurement does not affect the reselection measurement.

[0036] In one embodiment, before receiving N advance measurement frequency points configured by the base station and entering the set threshold of the reference signal received power RSRP or the reference signal received quality RSRQ for the advance measurement relaxation mode, it also includes: receiving first parameter information, and the first parameter information is used to determine that the communication device is in a non-power saving mode.

[0037] In one embodiment, it is characterized in that the method further includes: when determining that it is in a power saving mode, receiving parameter information configured by a base station, the parameter information is used to determine whether the communication device is in a low mobility state and / or a cell edge state; and according to the parameter information, determining to enter a relaxation mode of early measurement.

[0038] In the present invention, when the UE is in node mode and in a low mobility state, the UE's potential PSCell and SCell generally do not change. In this case, performing early measurement can achieve power savings while not affecting the rapid establishment of CA and DC. When the UE performs reselection measurements (not in a low mobility and / or cell edge state), the potential PSCell and SCell may also change due to changes in the serving cell. In this case, quickly obtaining measurement results of the potential PSCell and SCell can ensure that the UE quickly enters the connected state after the reselection measurement, and quickly establishes CA and DC.

[0039] In one embodiment, determining to enter the relaxed mode of early measurement based on the parameter information includes: when determining that the state is in low mobility but not in a cell edge state, measuring the frequency point of the early measurement according to the measurement behavior of the relaxed mode of early measurement.

[0040] In one embodiment, the determining of entering the relaxed mode of early measurement based on the parameter information includes: when it is determined that the state is not low mobility and is not in a cell edge state, when performing reselection measurement, the frequency point of the early measurement performs the same measurement behavior as the frequency point of the reselection measurement; when no reselection measurement is performed, the frequency point of the early measurement is measured according to the measurement behavior of the relaxed mode of early measurement.

[0041] In one embodiment, the determining of entering the relaxed mode of early measurement based on the parameter information includes: when determining that the state is low mobility and in a cell edge state, when performing reselection measurement, the frequency point of the early measurement performs the same measurement behavior as the frequency point of the reselection measurement; when not performing reselection measurement, the frequency point of the early measurement is measured according to the measurement behavior of the relaxed mode of early measurement.

[0042] In one embodiment, the determining of entering the relaxed mode of early measurement based on the parameter information includes: determining that when the state is not low mobility but in a cell edge state, the frequency point of the early measurement that overlaps with the reselection measurement performs the same measurement behavior as the frequency point of the reselection measurement; and the frequency point of the early measurement that does not overlap with the reselection measurement is measured according to the measurement behavior of the relaxed mode of early measurement.

[0043] In the second aspect, an embodiment of the present application also provides a control method, which is executed by a base station, and the method includes: sending first configuration information and a set threshold value of the reference signal received power RSRP or the reference signal received quality RSRQ for the communication device to enter the relaxation mode of early measurement to the communication device, the first configuration information is used to configure the communication device to measure N early measurement frequency points, and the relaxation mode of early measurement is to measure each of the N early measurement frequency points in the early measurement with at least one measurement behavior of normal measurement, relaxation measurement and no periodic measurement, and N is a positive integer greater than zero.

[0044] In the present invention, the base station configures the UE with the frequency point for early measurement and the set threshold of RSRP or RSRQ for entering the relaxation mode of early measurement, so that the UE can perform early measurement on the frequency point for early measurement according to the set threshold without affecting the reselection measurement.

[0047] In one embodiment, determining the measurement behavior of each of the N advance measurement frequency points includes: according to the type of each advance measurement frequency point, determining that a first type of advance measurement frequency point performs the normal measurement, a second type of advance measurement frequency point performs the relaxed measurement, and a third type of advance measurement frequency point performs the non-periodic measurement, and the type of each advance measurement frequency point includes the first type, the second type, and the third type.

[0048] In one embodiment, determining the measurement behavior of each of the N advance measurement frequency points includes: determining the number M of advance measurement frequency points through normal measurement, the number R of advance measurement frequency points through relaxed measurement, and the number S of advance measurement frequency points through no periodic measurement, wherein M, R, and S are all positive integers greater than zero; determining the priority of each of the N advance measurement frequency points according to the type of each advance measurement frequency point; performing the normal measurement on the top M advance measurement frequency points with the highest priority, performing the relaxed measurement on the top R advance measurement frequency points with the highest priority other than the advance measurement frequency points with the normal measurement, and performing the no periodic measurement on the top S advance measurement frequency points with the highest priority other than the advance measurement frequency points with the normal measurement and the relaxed measurement.

[0052] In one embodiment, the relaxation factor N2 for determining the measurement time requirement of the relaxation measurement is:

[0053] N2=K·R

[0054] Wherein, K is a relaxation factor, and R is the number of frequencies for advance measurement for the relaxation measurement. In one embodiment, before sending the first configuration information to the communication device and setting a threshold for reference signal received power (RSRP) or reference signal received quality (RSRQ) for the communication device to enter the relaxation mode for advance measurement, the method further includes: sending third configuration information to the communication device for determining that the communication device is in a non-power saving mode.

[0055] In one embodiment, the method further includes: when determining that the communication device is in a power saving mode, sending third configuration information to the communication device, the third configuration information is used to enable parameter information of the power saving mode, and the parameter information is used to determine whether the communication device is in a low mobility state and / or a cell edge state; receiving fifth configuration information sent by the communication device, the fifth configuration information is used to determine the measurement behavior of each of the N pre-measured frequency points.

[0106] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0107] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, when the UE is in the idle or inactive state, the UE performs the following steps:

[0108] Step S103: receive N advance measurement frequency points configured by the base station and a set threshold value of reference signal received power RSRP or reference signal received quality RSRQ for entering the relaxed mode of advance measurement.

[0109] Before configuring the advance measurement frequency for the UE, the base station must also determine whether the UE is in power saving mode. Therefore, the UE also needs to perform the following steps:

[0110] Step S101: Receive first parameter information sent by the base station.

[0111] The first parameter information is for the UE to determine whether it is in the node mode. When the UE receives the first parameter information, it determines whether it is in the power saving mode. If it is in the node mode, step S103 is executed.

[0112] In order to enable the base station to quickly configure an SCell or PSCell for the UE when the UE is in a connected state, the base station configures N frequency points where potential SCells or PSCells are located to the UE when the UE is in an idle or inactive state, allowing the UE to perform advance measurements on these N frequency points.

[0113] Because UE frequency measurement resources are limited, and early measurements may increase the total number of frequencies to be measured, it is necessary to determine whether early measurements will affect reselection measurements and, in turn, mobility before performing them. The base station configures the RSRP or RSRQ threshold of the serving cell for the UE. When the RSRP or RSRQ value of the serving cell is less than the set threshold, the UE enters the relaxed early measurement mode to reduce the impact of early measurements on reselection measurements.

[0114] For reselection measurement, the standard stipulates that when the channel conditions of the serving cell are good (RSRP or RSRQ is higher than SnonIntraSearch), the UE only measures high-priority inter-frequency points; when the channel conditions of the serving cell are poor (RSRP or RSRQ is lower than SnonIntraSearch), the UE measures all configured inter-frequency points.

[0115] In one possible embodiment, the threshold for entering the early measurement relaxation mode is determined to be a threshold for inter-frequency reselection measurement (SnonIntraSearch). In another possible embodiment, the threshold for entering the early measurement relaxation mode is determined to be a threshold that is less than the threshold for inter-frequency reselection measurement.

[0116] Step S105: When the RSRP or RSRQ value of the serving cell is less than a set threshold, a measurement behavior of each of the N pre-measured frequency points is determined.

[0117] After the UE receives the RSRP or RSRQ threshold of the serving cell used to control the early measurement relaxation mode, it obtains the RSRP or RSRQ value of the current serving cell where the UE is located, and then determines whether the RSRP or RSRQ value of the current serving cell is greater than the RSRP or RSRQ threshold received from the base station.

[0118] If the RSRP or RSRQ value of the current serving cell is greater than the RSRP or RSRQ threshold received from the base station, it indicates that the channel condition of the serving cell where the UE is currently located is good, and the UE can normally perform advance measurement of the frequency point where the potential SCell or PSCell is located.

[0119] If the RSRP or RSRQ value of the frequency point of the current serving cell is less than the RSRP or RSRQ threshold received from the base station, it indicates that the channel condition of the serving cell currently in which the UE is located is relatively poor, and therefore the UE may reselect a large number of target frequencies for measurement. At this time, due to the resources available for the UE to perform frequency measurement, if the UE still performs advance measurement on the frequency point where the potential SCell or PSCell is located, the UE needs to relax the processing of the frequency point where the potential SCell or PSCell is located in order to achieve the effect of minimizing the impact on the reselection measurement while performing advance measurement on the frequency point where the potential SCell or PSCell is located.

[0120] Generally speaking, UE's measurement behaviors for pre-measured frequencies include normal measurement, relaxed measurement, and no periodic measurement. Normal measurement refers to the UE performing periodic frequency measurements according to set requirements; relaxed measurement refers to the UE performing periodic frequency measurements with relaxed requirements, such as extending the interval between periodic frequency measurements; and no periodic measurement refers to performing a one-time measurement or no measurement at all.

[0121] In an embodiment of the present application, the UE sets a relaxed mode of advance measurement, that is, a portion of the frequency points where potential SCells or PSCells are located is measured using a normal measurement behavior, a portion of the frequency points is measured using a relaxed measurement behavior, and another portion of the frequency points is measured using a measurement behavior without periodic measurement. When the UE performs reselection measurement, it enters the relaxed mode of advance measurement to perform advance measurement on all or part of the frequency points where potential SCells or PSCells are located.

[0122] In the embodiment of the present application, the measurement behavior methods for determining each frequency point (frequency point measured in advance) where a potential SCell or PSCell is located and performing measurement include:

[0123] 1. The UE directly sets M pre-measurement frequencies for normal measurement, R pre-measurement frequencies for relaxed measurement, and S pre-measurement frequencies for non-periodic measurement. The minimum values of M, R, and S are 0, and the maximum values can be determined based on factors such as pre-defined international standards, base station configuration, or the number of frequencies for reselection measurement.

[0124] Exemplarily, the UE performs relaxed measurement on a maximum of three frequency points measured in advance, and does not perform periodic measurement on other frequency points measured in advance, then Mmax=0, Rmax=3.

[0125] For example, when the number of frequency points for reselection measurement is ≤3, the UE performs normal measurement on up to 2 frequency points measured in advance, and performs relaxed measurement on other frequency points measured in advance, then Mmax=2, Rmax=N-1; when the number of frequency points for reselection measurement is >3, the UE performs relaxed measurement on up to 3 frequency points measured in advance, and does not perform periodic measurement on other frequency points measured in advance, then Mmax=0, Rmax=3.

[0126] 2. The UE divides the advance measurement frequencies into multiple types according to the types of the advance measurement frequencies, and then allows the first type of advance measurement frequencies to perform normal measurement, the second type of advance measurement frequencies to perform relaxed measurement, and the third type of advance measurement frequencies to perform no periodic measurement.

[0127] Among them, if the frequency points measured in advance are less than three types, the frequency points measured in advance can be measured by performing one of normal measurement, relaxed measurement or non-periodic measurement; if the frequency points measured in advance are more than three types, several types of frequency points measured in advance can be measured by performing the same measurement behavior.

[0128] For example, the UE specifies different priorities for different types of advance measurement frequencies according to the type of advance measurement, allowing high-priority advance measurement frequencies to perform normal measurements, second-highest-priority advance measurement frequencies to perform relaxed measurements, and low-priority advance measurement frequencies to not perform periodic measurements. The priority methods for specifying advance measurement frequencies are:

[0129] (1) Cross-standard frequency > cross-frequency range (FR) frequency > cross-band frequency;

[0130] (2) The frequency of the potential PSCell is greater than the frequency of the potential SCell;

[0131] (3) The priority of the frequency points measured in advance as specified by the base station.

[0132] Exemplarily, the UE determines to perform normal measurement on all frequencies across different standards, to perform relaxed measurement on all frequencies across a frequency range, and not to perform periodic measurement on other frequencies.

[0133] 3. The UE may determine the measurement behavior for each pre-measured frequency point according to the specified number and priority.

[0134] For example, the UE specifies that the first M advance measurement frequencies with high priority are to be measured normally, and that the first R advance measurement frequencies with high priority other than the advance measurement frequencies for normal measurement are to be measured in a relaxed manner, and that the first S advance measurement frequencies with high priority other than the advance measurement frequencies for normal measurement and relaxed measurement are not to be measured in a periodic manner.

[0135] Step S107: measuring each of the frequency points measured in advance according to the measurement behavior corresponding to each of the frequency points measured in advance.

[0136] After entering the relaxed mode of advance measurement, the UE determines the measurement behavior corresponding to each frequency point in advance measurement, and then performs measurement on each frequency point in advance measurement using the corresponding measurement behavior.

[0137] For example, if it is determined that the measurement behavior of the frequency point measured in advance is a normal measurement, the relaxation factor of the measurement time requirement is N1, and N1 is:

[0138]

[0139] Wherein, K is the relaxation factor, and the value of K may be predefined in international standards, configured by the base station, or determined based on a relationship such as the number of frequency points for reselection measurement; M is the number of pre-measured frequency points for normal measurement, and L is the number of reselection measurements.

[0140] For example, if the measurement behavior of the frequency point measured in advance is a relaxation measurement, the relaxation factor required for the measurement time is N2, and N2 is:

[0141] N2=K·R

[0142] Wherein, K is the relaxation factor, and R is the number of frequency points measured in advance for relaxation measurement.

[0143] For example, if the measurement behavior of the frequency point measured in advance is determined to not perform periodic measurement, then the frequency point performs a one-time measurement or has no measurement requirement.

[0144] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to ensure the performance of the reselection measurement, it is necessary to relax the advance measurement, that is, enter the relaxation mode of the advance measurement.

[0145] By defining frequency priority for multiple pre-measured frequencies and limiting the number of frequencies that undergo the same measurement behavior, the UE can prioritize its measurement capabilities and frequency priorities, selecting different measurement behaviors for different frequencies to achieve different measurement performance and ensure rapid measurement completion for high-priority frequencies. Since high-priority frequencies correspond to PSCells or SCells that the UE is more likely to add, the UE is more likely to be quickly added to CA and DC when entering the connected state.

[0146] At the same time, when the UE enters the early measurement relaxation mode, an intermediate solution is introduced between normal measurement and no periodic measurement, that is, periodic measurement is performed with K times the measurement interval, which minimizes the impact on reselection measurement while ensuring early measurement to a certain extent.

[0147] In addition, the UE does not enter the relaxed mode of early measurement within a certain period of time after entering the idle state, inactive state, or completing reselection measurement; or after the UE enters the idle state, inactive state, or completes reselection measurement, the T331 timer is restarted, and the relaxed mode of early measurement is not entered before the T331 timer expires. After the UE reselects, the potential PSCell and SCell may change due to the change of the serving cell. At this time, quickly obtaining the measurement results of the potential PSCell and SCell can ensure that CA and DC can be quickly established when the UE enters the connected state soon after reselection.

[0148] The frequency point that the base station configures for early measurement may be the same as or different from the frequency point that the UE performs reselection measurement, so the frequency point that the early measurement is configured for may be divided into overlapping carriers and non-overlapping carriers.

[0149] overlapping carrier). Here, an overlapping carrier indicates that the frequency point measured in advance is also the frequency point of the reselection measurement point being measured by the UE; a non-overlapping carrier indicates that the frequency point measured in advance is not the frequency point of the reselection measurement point being measured by the UE. In the above embodiment, the "frequency point measured in advance" mentioned can refer to both overlapping carriers and non-overlapping carriers, and can also specifically refer to non-overlapping carriers, and this application does not limit this.

[0150] If, in step S101, the UE determines that it is in the power saving mode, when the UE is in the idle or inactive state in the power saving mode, the UE also needs to perform the following steps:

[0151] Step S109: When it is determined that the device is in the power saving mode, second parameter information configured by the base station is received.

[0152] When the UE is in power saving mode, the UE can save power by reducing reselection measurements. In order to allow the UE to determine whether it can enter the relaxation mode of reselection measurements, the base station will configure the UE with threshold parameters for determining whether the UE is in one or both of the low mobility and cell edge states.

[0153] Step S111: Determine the measurement behavior of each frequency point among the N frequency points measured in advance according to the second parameter information, and perform measurement.

[0154] The following describes the specific method for the UE to determine the measurement behavior for each advance measurement frequency in power saving mode according to Table 1:

[0155] Table 1 UE's measurement behavior determined by N advance measurement frequencies in different states

[0156]

[0157] In the first case, when the UE is not in low mobility and is not in the cell edge state, the UE may need to perform reselection measurement or may not perform reselection measurement. However, for advance measurement, if the UE performs reselection measurement, all advance measurement frequencies (including overlapping advance measurement frequencies and non-overlapping advance measurement frequencies) are measured in the same way as reselection measurement. If the UE does not perform reselection measurement, all advance measurement frequencies are measured in the same way as reselection measurement. Figure 1 The measurement behavior of the relaxation mode measured in advance is measured according to steps S101-S107 and the corresponding embodiments.

[0158] In the second case, when the UE is in low mobility but not in the cell edge state, the UE does not need to perform reselection measurement. However, for early measurement, all early measurement frequencies are based on Figure 1 The measurement behavior of the relaxation mode measured in advance is measured according to steps S101-S107 and the corresponding embodiments.

[0159] In the third case, when the UE is not in low mobility but in the cell edge state, the UE performs normal measurement for reselection measurement. At this time, overlapping carrier and non-overlapping carrier need to be discussed separately. For the overlapping pre-measurement frequency point, the same measurement behavior as the reselection measurement is performed; for the non-overlapping pre-measurement frequency point, the same measurement behavior as the reselection measurement is performed. Figure 1 The measurement behavior of the relaxation mode measured in advance is measured according to steps S101-S107 and the corresponding embodiments.

[0160] In the fourth case, when the UE is in low mobility and at the cell edge, the UE may or may not need to perform reselection measurement. However, for advance measurement, if the UE performs reselection measurement, all advance measurement frequencies (including overlapping advance measurement frequencies and non-overlapping advance measurement frequencies) are measured with the same measurement behavior as the reselection measurement. The measurement behavior of the reselection measurement is normal measurement or relaxed measurement. If the UE does not perform reselection measurement, all advance measurement frequencies are measured according to Figure 1 The measurement behavior of the relaxation mode measured in advance is measured according to steps S101-S107 and the corresponding embodiments.

[0161] In an embodiment of the present application, when the UE is in node mode and in a low mobility state, the potential PSCell and SCell of the UE generally do not change. In this case, relaxing the advance measurement can achieve power saving without affecting the rapid establishment of CA and DC.

[0162] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the method is executed by the base station, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0163] Step S203: Sending first configuration information and a set threshold value of reference signal received power RSRP or reference signal received quality RSRQ for the communication device to enter a relaxed mode of advance measurement to the communication device.

[0164] When the UE is in the idle or inactive state, in order to enable the UE to be in the connected state, the base station configures N frequency points where potential SCells or PSCells are located for the UE, and allows the UE to perform advance measurements on these N frequency points.

[0165] At the same time, the base station needs to configure the RSRP or RSRQ threshold for the UE for determining whether the UE performs reselection measurement on the frequency point of the serving cell.

[0166] Step S205: Send second configuration information to the communication device.

[0167] In order to control the measurement behavior of each advance measurement frequency point when the UE enters the advance measurement relaxation mode, optionally, the base station sends the UE a second configuration information, where the second configuration information carries a control parameter for controlling the measurement behavior of each of the N advance measurement frequency points. That is, some of the frequency points where the potential SCell or PSCell is located are measured with a normal measurement behavior, some of the frequency points are measured with a relaxed measurement behavior, and the other part of the frequency points are measured with a measurement behavior without periodic measurement.

[0168] The measurement behavior methods for determining each frequency point (frequency point measured in advance) where a potential SCell or PSCell is located and performing measurement include:

[0169] 1. The UE directly sets M pre-measurement frequencies for normal measurement, R pre-measurement frequencies for relaxed measurement, and S pre-measurement frequencies for non-periodic measurement. The minimum values of M, R, and S are 0, and the maximum values can be determined based on factors such as pre-defined international standards, configuration by the base station through second configuration information, or the number of frequencies for reselection measurement.

[0170] Exemplarily, the UE performs relaxed measurement on a maximum of three frequency points measured in advance, and does not perform periodic measurement on other frequency points measured in advance, then Mmax=0, Rmax=3.

[0171] For example, when the number of frequency points for reselection measurement is ≤3, the UE performs normal measurement on up to 2 frequency points measured in advance, and performs relaxed measurement on other frequency points measured in advance, then Mmax=2, Rmax=N-1; when the number of frequency points for reselection measurement is >3, the UE performs relaxed measurement on up to 3 frequency points measured in advance, and does not perform periodic measurement on other frequency points measured in advance, then Mmax=0, Rmax=3.

[0172] 2. The UE divides the advance measurement frequencies into multiple types according to the types of the advance measurement frequencies, and then allows the first type of advance measurement frequencies to perform normal measurement, the second type of advance measurement frequencies to perform relaxed measurement, and the third type of advance measurement frequencies to perform no periodic measurement.

[0173] Among them, if the frequency points measured in advance are less than three types, the frequency points measured in advance can be measured by performing one of normal measurement, relaxed measurement or non-periodic measurement; if the frequency points measured in advance are more than three types, several types of frequency points measured in advance can be measured by performing the same measurement behavior.

[0174] For example, the UE specifies different priorities for different types of advance measurement frequencies according to the type of advance measurement, allowing high-priority advance measurement frequencies to perform normal measurements, second-highest-priority advance measurement frequencies to perform relaxed measurements, and low-priority advance measurement frequencies to not perform periodic measurements. The priority methods for specifying advance measurement frequencies are:

[0175] (1) Cross-standard frequency > cross-frequency range (FR) frequency > cross-band frequency;

[0176] (2) The frequency of the potential PSCell is greater than the frequency of the potential SCell;

[0177] (3) The priority of the frequency points measured in advance as specified by the base station.

[0178] Exemplarily, the UE determines to perform normal measurement on all frequencies across different standards, to perform relaxed measurement on all frequencies across a frequency range, and not to perform periodic measurement on other frequencies.

[0179] 3. The UE may determine the measurement behavior for each pre-measured frequency point according to the specified number and priority.

[0180] For example, the UE specifies that the first M advance measurement frequencies with high priority are to be measured normally, and that the first R advance measurement frequencies with high priority other than the advance measurement frequencies for normal measurement are to be measured in a relaxed manner, and that the first S advance measurement frequencies with high priority other than the advance measurement frequencies for normal measurement and relaxed measurement are not to be measured in a periodic manner.

[0181] It should be noted that the formulation of the relaxation mode of the advance measurement and the determination of the measurement behavior of each advance measurement frequency point can be completed by the UE side or the base station side, and this application does not limit this.

[0182] Before configuring the advance measurement frequency for the UE, the base station must also determine whether the UE is in power saving mode. Therefore, the following steps are required:

[0183] Step S201: Send third configuration information to a communication device.

[0184] The first parameter information is for the UE to determine whether it is in the node mode. When the UE receives the first parameter information, it determines whether it is in the power saving mode. If it is in the node mode, step S203 is executed.

[0185] Step S207: When it is determined that the communication device is in the power saving mode, fourth configuration information is sent to the communication device.

[0186] When the base station configures the UE to turn on the power saving mode, the UE can save power by reducing reselection measurements. In order to allow the UE to determine whether it can enter the relaxation mode of reselection measurements, the base station will configure the UE with threshold parameters for determining whether the UE is in one or both of the low mobility and cell edge states.

[0187] The relaxation factor for the measurement time requirement of the frequency point measured in advance during normal measurement is N1, which is:

[0188]

[0189] Wherein, K is the relaxation factor, and the value of K may be predefined in international standards, configured by the base station, or determined based on a relationship such as the number of frequency points for reselection measurement; M is the number of pre-measured frequency points for normal measurement, and L is the number of reselection measurements.

[0190] The relaxation factor required for the measurement time of the frequency point measured in advance during the relaxation measurement is N2, which is:

[0191] N2=K·R

[0192] Wherein, K is the relaxation factor, and R is the number of frequency points measured in advance for relaxation measurement.

[0193] Step S209: Receive fifth configuration information sent by the communication device.

[0194] After the UE side determines the measurement behavior corresponding to each frequency point measured in advance, it needs to send it to the base station so that the base station can determine the measurement behavior of each frequency point where the potential SCell or PSCell is configured for the UE.

[0195] Among them, in the first case, when the UE is not in low mobility and is not in the cell edge state, the UE may need to perform reselection measurement or may not perform reselection measurement. However, for advance measurement, if the UE performs reselection measurement, all advance measurement frequencies (including overlapping advance measurement frequencies and non-overlapping advance measurement frequencies) are measured in the same way as reselection measurement. If the UE does not perform reselection measurement, all advance measurement frequencies are measured in the same way as reselection measurement. Figure 1 The measurement behavior of the relaxation mode measured in advance is measured according to steps S101-S107 and the corresponding embodiments.

[0196] In the second case, when the UE is in low mobility but not in the cell edge state, the UE does not need to perform reselection measurement. However, for early measurement, all early measurement frequencies are based on Figure 1The measurement behavior of the relaxation mode measured in advance is measured according to steps S101-S107 and the corresponding embodiments.

[0197] In the third case, when the UE is not in low mobility but in the cell edge state, the UE performs normal measurement for reselection measurement. At this time, overlapping carrier and non-overlapping carrier need to be discussed separately. For the overlapping pre-measurement frequency point, the same measurement behavior as the reselection measurement is performed; for the non-overlapping pre-measurement frequency point, the same measurement behavior as the reselection measurement is performed. Figure 1 The measurement behavior of the relaxation mode measured in advance is measured according to steps S101-S107 and the corresponding embodiments.

[0198] In the fourth case, when the UE is in low mobility and at the cell edge, the UE may or may not need to perform reselection measurement. However, for advance measurement, if the UE performs reselection measurement, all advance measurement frequencies (including overlapping advance measurement frequencies and non-overlapping advance measurement frequencies) are measured with the same measurement behavior as the reselection measurement. The measurement behavior of the reselection measurement is normal measurement or relaxed measurement. If the UE does not perform reselection measurement, all advance measurement frequencies are measured according to Figure 1 The measurement behavior of the relaxation mode measured in advance is measured according to steps S101-S107 and the corresponding embodiments.

[0199] In the embodiment of the present application, the base station configures the UE with a set threshold value for the frequency point for early measurement and the RSRP or RSRQ for entering the relaxed mode for early measurement, so that the UE can perform early measurement on the frequency point for early measurement according to the set threshold value without affecting the reselection measurement. At the same time, by configuring the UE with parameter information for turning on the power saving mode and determining whether the communication device is in a low mobility state and / or a cell edge state, early measurement in the power saving mode is implemented.

[0202] For example, Figure 3 The control device 300 shown includes a transceiver unit 301 and a processing unit 302 .

[0203] In one embodiment of the present application, the control device 300 is used to support the terminal device to implement the terminal function in the control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, for example, the transceiver unit 301 is used to receive the N pre-measured frequency points configured by the base station and the set threshold of the reference signal received power RSRP or the reference signal received quality RSRQ for entering the pre-measured relaxation mode, and the pre-measured relaxation mode is for each of the N pre-measured frequency points to be measured with at least one measurement behavior of normal measurement, relaxed measurement and no periodic measurement, and N is a positive integer greater than zero; the processing unit 302 is used to determine the measurement behavior of each of the N pre-measured frequency points when the value of the RSRP or RSRQ of the serving cell is less than the set threshold; and measure each pre-measured frequency point according to the measurement behavior corresponding to each pre-measured frequency point. For a detailed description of this series of processes, please refer to some embodiments of the method of the present application, for example Figure 1 The relevant contents in the illustrated embodiment are not described in detail.

For information on how to determine the type of frequency point, please refer to some embodiments of the method of this application, for example, Figure 1 The relevant contents in the illustrated embodiment are not described in detail.

[0207] For a detailed description of how to determine the measurement behavior corresponding to each frequency point of advance measurement, please refer to some embodiments of the method of this application, such as Figure 1 The relevant contents in the illustrated embodiment are not described in detail.

[0208] Among them, the values of M, S and R are determined according to the number of frequency points predefined in the standard, configured by the base station, or reselected measurement, and the maximum number of frequency points measured in advance through the normal measurement, the maximum number of frequency points measured in advance through the relaxed measurement, and the maximum number of frequency points measured in advance without periodic measurement. The maximum value is used to determine the maximum number of frequency points measured in advance through the corresponding measurement behavior.

[0209] In addition, the relaxation factor N1 of the measurement time requirement of the normal measurement is:

[0210]

[0211] Wherein, K is a relaxation factor, M is the number of frequency points for advance measurement of the normal measurement, and L is the number of reselection measurements.

[0212] The relaxation factor N2 required for the measurement time of the relaxation measurement is:

[0213] N2=K·R

[0214] Wherein, K is the relaxation factor, and R is the number of frequency points measured in advance for the relaxation measurement.

[0215] In one possible implementation, the processing unit 302 is configured to not enter the relaxation mode of the advance measurement within a set time period after entering the idle / inactive state or completing the reselection measurement. A detailed description of how to determine whether the UE is in the power saving mode can be found in some embodiments of the method of this application, such as Figure 1 The relevant contents in the illustrated embodiment are not described in detail.

[0216] In one possible implementation, the transceiver unit 301 is used to receive first parameter information sent by the base station, and the first parameter information is used to determine that the communication device is in a non-power saving mode. In one possible implementation, the transceiver unit 301 is also used to determine that when it is in the power saving mode, it receives second parameter information configured by the base station, and the second parameter information is used to determine whether the communication device is in a low mobility state and / or a cell edge state; the processing unit 302 is also used to determine the measurement behavior of each of the N pre-measured frequency points based on the second parameter information, and perform the measurement. For a specific description of how the UE determines the measurement behavior for the pre-measured frequency point in the power saving mode, please refer to some embodiments of the method of this application, for example Figure 1 The relevant contents in the illustrated embodiment are not described in detail.

[0217] In a possible implementation, the processing unit 302 is configured to, when determining that the state is low mobility but not in a cell edge state, measure the frequency point for advance measurement according to the measurement behavior of the relaxed mode for advance measurement.

[0218] In one possible implementation, the processing unit 302 is used to determine that when it is not in a low mobility state and is not in a cell edge state, when performing reselection measurement, the frequency point of the advance measurement performs the same measurement behavior as the frequency point of the reselection measurement; when no reselection measurement is performed, the frequency point of the advance measurement is measured according to the measurement behavior of the relaxation mode of the advance measurement.

[0219] In one possible implementation, the processing unit 302 is used to determine that when the mobile station is in low mobility and in a cell edge state, when performing reselection measurement, the frequency point of the advance measurement performs the same measurement behavior as the frequency point of the reselection measurement; when no reselection measurement is performed, the frequency point of the advance measurement is measured according to the measurement behavior of the relaxation mode of the advance measurement.
