Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application with application date of November 16, 2017, application number 201711138908.9, and invention name “Non-connection measurement method, terminal and base station”. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to the technical field of communication applications, and in particular to a non-connection state measurement method, a terminal and a base station. Background Art

[0003] Carrier aggregation means that a terminal uses the spectrum resources of multiple service cells for data transmission at the same time to improve the throughput of data transmission and reception of the terminal.

[0004] The service cell of the terminal is configured by the network. Usually, the network selects a cell whose signal quality meets certain conditions based on the measurement and reporting results of the terminal on the neighboring cells, and configures it as the service cell of the terminal. The measurement parameters of the terminal on the neighboring cells (such as the frequency to be measured, the measurement quantity (reference signal received power RSRP and / or reference signal received quality RSRQ)) and the reporting configuration (reporting trigger conditions, measurement quantities to be reported, etc.) are configured by the network. The configuration and reporting of the measurement can only be performed after security activation. For details, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the exchange between the terminal and the base station when performing frequency point measurement in the prior art. Figure 1 It can be seen that the delay from the UE entering the connected state to the UE being able to start using the secondary cell for transmission is very large. When the amount of data to be transmitted is not particularly large, the data has been transmitted before the network starts multi-cell or secondary cell transmission, and the peak rate experienced by the user is low.

[0042] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. The expression of and / or used in the claims and the specification indicates at least one of the connected objects.

[0043] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a non-connected state measurement method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a non-connected state measurement method, which is applied to a terminal, including:

[0044] Step 201: obtaining measurement configuration information through a terminal, where the measurement configuration information includes one or more frequency points.

[0045] The measurement configuration information may also include: a measurement quantity to be measured;

[0046] The measurement quantity to be measured includes: at least one of reference signal received power RSRP and reference signal received quality RSRQ.

[0047] The measurement configuration information may also include: reporting configuration information;

[0048] The reporting configuration information includes: target measurement information to be reported and reporting conditions, the reporting conditions including the reporting threshold of signal quality and the time (Time to Trigger, TTT) greater than the threshold. The target measurement information may specifically include at least one of RSRP and RSRQ.

[0049] The above-mentioned reporting threshold of signal quality means that the reporting is triggered only when the signal quality is greater than the reporting threshold, and the above-mentioned TTT means that the reporting is triggered only when the signal quality is greater than the reporting threshold and lasts for a certain period of time.

[0050] Step 202: The terminal in the unconnected state starts frequency measurement according to the measurement configuration information.

[0051] Specifically, one or more frequency points are selected from N frequency points to measure the signal quality. The above-mentioned terminal in the non-connected state includes a terminal in an idle state or an inactive state, and N is a positive integer.

[0052] The step 202 may specifically include: selecting a preset number of frequency points arranged in front from the frequency points included in the measurement configuration information for measurement;

[0053] Alternatively, a preset number of frequency points are randomly selected from the frequency points included in the measurement configuration information for measurement.

[0054] For example, X frequency points arranged in the first X positions are selected from N frequency points for measurement, or X frequency points are randomly selected from N frequency points for measurement, where N is a positive integer, and X is a positive integer less than or equal to N.

[0055] Preferably, when it is detected that the measurement trigger condition is met, the terminal in the non-connected state starts to perform frequency point measurement according to the measurement configuration information;

[0056] The measurement triggering condition includes:

[0057] receiving a paging message for the terminal;

[0058] Alternatively, at a predetermined time before the paging time of receiving the paging message, the time interval between the predetermined time and the paging time is agreed upon by a protocol or configured by the base station;

[0059] Or, a start signal for non-connection state measurement is received;

[0060] Or, the terminal has uplink data to be sent;

[0061] Alternatively, the measurement configuration information is received.

[0062] In addition, the terminal stops the frequency point measurement when sending the RRC connection completion message or the RRC connection recovery completion message or reporting the measurement result;

[0063] Alternatively, after the RRC connection completion message or the RRC connection recovery completion message is sent or after the measurement result is reported, the frequency point measurement is stopped;

[0064] Alternatively, the frequency measurement is performed at a predetermined time before the paging time of receiving the paging message, and the terminal does not detect that it is being paged at the paging time, and the frequency measurement is stopped; the time interval between the predetermined time and the paging time is agreed upon by the protocol or configured by the base station; or, after the RRC connection establishment fails, the frequency measurement is stopped;

[0065] Alternatively, after the terminal receives the measurement configuration in the connected state, the frequency point measurement is stopped;

[0066] Alternatively, after the terminal starts measuring for a preset time length, the frequency point measurement is stopped, where the preset time length is specified by a protocol or configured by a base station, or the effective time of the measurement configuration information is used.

[0067] Step 203: After the terminal enters the connected state from the unconnected state, the terminal reports the measurement result obtained through the frequency point measurement.

[0068] In the non-connected state measurement method of the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal in the non-connected state starts to perform frequency point measurement according to the measurement configuration information indicated by the base station, and reports the measurement result obtained by the frequency point measurement after the terminal enters the connected state from the non-connected state. In the embodiment of the present invention, since the terminal starts to perform frequency point measurement in the non-connected state, the measurement result can be reported quickly after the terminal enters the connected state, so that the base station can perform secondary cell configuration in advance according to the measurement result, thereby reducing the time required for the terminal to start high-speed data transmission from entering the connected state.

[0069] As an optional implementation, the step of obtaining the measurement configuration information in step 201 may include:

[0070] Obtain measurement configuration information through network broadcast messages.

[0071] As another optional implementation, the step of obtaining the measurement configuration information in step 201 includes:

[0072] The measurement configuration information is obtained through the radio resource control RRC dedicated message.

[0073] The RRC dedicated message may specifically be an RRC connection release message used by the network to release the RRC connection of the terminal and allow the terminal to enter a non-connected state.

[0074] If the measurement configuration information is obtained through the RRC dedicated message, the terminal in the non-connected state in step 202 starts the step of performing frequency point measurement according to the measurement configuration information, including:

[0075] Detecting whether there is valid measurement configuration information indicated by the RRC dedicated message;

[0076] If not, when it is detected that the network broadcast message carries measurement configuration information, frequency point measurement is started according to the measurement configuration information carried in the network broadcast message;

[0077] If yes, start frequency point measurement according to the measurement configuration information indicated by the RRC dedicated message.

[0078] The measurement configuration information further includes: a valid time of the measurement configuration information; and the step of starting frequency point measurement according to the measurement configuration information carried in the network broadcast message includes:

[0079] When the measurement configuration information indicated by the RRC dedicated message is invalid, if the measurement configuration information carried by the network broadcast message contains a first target frequency that is the same as the currently measured frequency, the first target frequency is preferentially selected for measurement from the frequencies contained in the measurement configuration information carried by the network broadcast message.

[0080] Specifically, the measurement configuration information indicated by the RRC dedicated message is received by the terminal as a starting point for timing, and when the timing duration exceeds the valid duration, it is determined that the measurement configuration information indicated by the RRC dedicated message is invalid.

[0081] Here, when the measurement configuration information indicated by the RRC dedicated message fails, the first target frequency point is preferentially selected from the N frequency points for measurement, thereby ensuring the continuity of the measurement.

[0082] The step of detecting whether there is valid measurement configuration information indicated by the RRC dedicated message includes:

[0083] When it is detected that the preset condition is met, determining that there is no valid measurement configuration information indicated by the RRC dedicated message; otherwise, determining that there is valid measurement configuration information indicated by the RRC dedicated message;

[0084] The preset conditions include one or more of the following conditions:

[0085] The timing of the timer of the terminal exceeds the valid time, wherein the timer starts timing when the terminal receives the RRC dedicated message;

[0086] Alternatively, the terminal changes the attached cell;

[0087] Alternatively, the terminal enters a connected state;

[0088] Alternatively, the terminal performs a public land mobile network PLMN reselection.

[0089] Furthermore, the step of the terminal in the non-connected state in step 202 starting frequency point measurement according to the measurement configuration information includes:

[0090] When the terminal moves from the first cell to the second cell, if the frequency point obtained from the second cell includes a second target frequency point that is the same as the currently measured frequency point, the second target frequency point is preferentially selected from the frequency points obtained from the second cell for measurement.

[0091] Here, when the terminal moves from the first cell to the second cell, the second target frequency point is preferably selected for measurement from the N frequency points to be measured obtained from the second cell, thereby ensuring the continuity of the measurement.

[0092] Furthermore, the above step 203: after the terminal enters the connected state from the unconnected state, the step of reporting the measurement result obtained by the frequency point measurement includes:

[0093] After the terminal enters the connected state from the unconnected state, it notifies the base station that there are measurement results to be reported;

[0094] After receiving the measurement result reporting instruction sent by the base station according to the notification, report the measurement result.

[0095] Further, the step of notifying the base station that there are measurement results to be reported includes:

[0096] If the measurement result meets the reporting condition in the measurement configuration information, the base station is notified that there is a measurement result to be reported.

[0097] Furthermore, the step of reporting the measurement result obtained by the frequency point measurement after the terminal enters the connected state from the unconnected state in the above step 203 includes:

[0098] After the terminal enters the connected state from the unconnected state, it notifies the base station that there are measurement results to be reported;

[0099] Acquire a measurement result reporting indication sent by the base station according to the notification, where the measurement result reporting indication carries reporting configuration information, wherein the reporting configuration information includes: target measurement information to be reported and reporting conditions;

[0100] If the measurement result meets the reporting condition in the measurement result reporting indication, the measurement result is reported.

[0101] The base station is notified through an RRC connection establishment complete message or an RRC connection recovery complete message that there are measurement results to be reported.

[0102] In the non-connected state measurement method of the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal in the non-connected state starts to perform frequency point measurement according to the measurement configuration information indicated by the base station, and reports the measurement result obtained by the frequency point measurement after the terminal enters the connected state from the non-connected state. In the embodiment of the present invention, since the terminal starts to perform frequency point measurement in the non-connected state, the measurement result can be reported quickly after the terminal enters the connected state, so that the base station can perform secondary cell configuration in advance according to the measurement result, thereby reducing the time required for the terminal to start high-speed data transmission from entering the connected state.

[0103] The specific application process of the embodiment of the present invention is described as follows.

[0104] Application Process 1

[0105] Figure 3 FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a non-connected state measurement method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the application process 1 includes:

[0106] Step 301: Acquire measurement configuration information by receiving a network broadcast message, where the measurement configuration information includes N frequency points to be measured, parameters to be measured, and reporting configuration information.

[0107] Wherein, N is a positive integer.

[0108] Step 302: The terminal in the unconnected state starts frequency measurement according to the measurement configuration information.

[0109] Step 303: During the RRC connection process, the base station is notified through an RRC connection establishment completion message that there are measurement results to be reported.

[0110] Specifically, if the terminal performs measurement and has measurement results, the terminal indicates that there are measurement results to be reported;

[0111] Preferably, if the terminal does not perform measurement, or has no measurement result, the terminal indicates that there is no measurement result to be reported;

[0112] Preferably, if the terminal performs measurement and the measurement result meets the reporting condition, the terminal indicates that there is a measurement result to be reported;

[0113] Preferably, if the terminal performs measurement and the measurement result does not meet the reporting condition, the terminal indicates that there is no measurement result.

[0114] Preferably, if the terminal performs measurement and the measurement result does not meet the reporting condition, the terminal indicates that there is a measurement result but the measurement result does not meet the reporting condition.

[0115] Step 304: Receive a measurement result reporting instruction.

[0116] Step 305: The terminal reports the measurement results that meet the reporting conditions.

[0117] Application Process 2

[0118] Figure 4 FIG. 3 is a flow chart of a non-connected state measurement method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the application process 2 includes:

[0119] Step 401: Acquire measurement configuration information by receiving a network broadcast message, where the measurement configuration information includes N frequency points to be measured and parameters to be measured.

[0120] Wherein, N is a positive integer.

[0121] Step 402: The terminal in the unconnected state starts frequency measurement according to the measurement configuration information.

[0122] Step 403: During the RRC connection process, the base station is notified through an RRC connection establishment complete message that there are measurement results to be reported.

[0123] Specifically, if the terminal performs measurement and has measurement results, the terminal indicates that there are measurement results to be reported.

[0124] Preferably, if the terminal does not perform measurement, or has no measurement result, the terminal indicates that there is no measurement result to be reported.

[0125] Step 404: Receive a measurement result reporting instruction, where the measurement result reporting instruction includes reporting configuration information.

[0126] The reporting configuration information includes target measurement information to be reported and reporting conditions, wherein the reporting conditions include a reporting threshold of signal quality and a duration (Time to Trigger, TTT) greater than the threshold.

[0127] Step 405: The terminal reports the measurement results that meet the reporting conditions in the reporting configuration information.

[0128] In addition, if the measurement result does not meet the reporting conditions in the reporting configuration information, the terminal notifies that there is no valid measurement result.

[0129] The main difference between the second application flow and the above application flow is that the measurement configuration information does not include the reporting configuration information, but the reporting configuration information is carried in the measurement result reporting indication.

[0130] Application Process 3

[0131] Figure 5FIG. 4 is a flow chart of a non-connected state measurement method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, the application process three includes:

[0132] Step 501: Acquire measurement configuration information through an RRC dedicated message, where the measurement configuration information includes N frequency points to be measured, parameters to be measured, reporting configuration information, and the validity period of the measurement configuration information.

[0133] Wherein, N is a positive integer. The RRC dedicated message may be an RRC connection release message used by the network to release the UE RRC connection and allow the UE to enter a non-connected state.

[0134] When the terminal receives the measurement configuration information, it starts a timer, the duration of which is the validity period. When the timer times out, the measurement configuration information becomes invalid.

[0135] Alternatively, when it is detected that the terminal changes its attached cell, the measurement configuration information becomes invalid;

[0136] Alternatively, when the terminal enters the connected state and performs a public land mobile network PLMN reselection, the above measurement configuration information becomes invalid.

[0137] Step 502: If there is no valid measurement configuration information indicated by the RRC dedicated message, when it is detected that the network broadcast message carries the measurement configuration information, frequency point measurement is started according to the measurement configuration information carried in the network broadcast message.

[0138] Preferably, when the measurement configuration information indicated by the RRC dedicated message is invalid, if the measurement configuration information carried by the network broadcast message contains a first target frequency that is the same as the currently measured frequency, the first target frequency is preferentially selected for measurement among the N frequencies contained in the measurement configuration information carried by the network broadcast message to maintain the continuity of the measurement.

[0139] Step 503: If there is valid measurement configuration information indicated by the RRC dedicated message, frequency point measurement is started according to the measurement configuration information indicated by the RRC dedicated message.

[0140] Step 504: During the RRC connection process, the base station is notified through an RRC connection establishment complete message that there are measurement results to be reported.

[0141] This step is the same as the above step 303 and will not be described again here.

[0142] Step 505: Receive a measurement result reporting instruction.

[0143] Step 506: The terminal reports the measurement results that meet the reporting conditions.

[0144] The main difference between the application process three and the above application process is that the measurement configuration information is obtained through an RRC dedicated message.

[0145] Application Process 4

[0146] Figure 7 FIG. 6 is a flow chart of a non-connected state measurement method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 As shown, the application process 4 includes:

[0147] Step 601: Acquire measurement configuration information by receiving a network broadcast message, where the measurement configuration information includes N frequency points to be measured, parameters to be measured, and reporting configuration information.

[0148] Step 602: The terminal in the unconnected state starts frequency measurement according to the measurement configuration information.

[0149] Step 603: During the RRC connection recovery process, the base station is notified through an RRC connection recovery complete message that there are measurement results to be reported.

[0150] Step 604: Receive a measurement result reporting instruction.

[0151] Step 605: The terminal reports the measurement results that meet the reporting conditions.

[0152] The main difference between the application process 4 and the above application process is that the application process is used for the RRC connection recovery process (resume).

[0153] In addition, in the above four application processes, when it is detected that the terminal moves from the first cell to the second cell, if the N frequency points obtained from the second cell include a second target frequency point that is the same as the currently measured frequency point, then the second target frequency point is preferentially selected for measurement from the N frequency points obtained from the second cell to ensure the continuity of the measurement, and for the third target frequency point that the terminal measures in the first cell but decides not to measure in the second cell, the UE stops measuring the third target frequency point.

[0154] In the non-connected state measurement method of the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal in the non-connected state starts to perform frequency point measurement according to the measurement configuration information indicated by the base station, and reports the measurement result obtained by the frequency point measurement after the terminal enters the connected state from the non-connected state. In the embodiment of the present invention, since the terminal starts to perform frequency point measurement in the non-connected state, the measurement result can be reported quickly after the terminal enters the connected state, so that the base station can perform secondary cell configuration in advance according to the measurement result, thereby reducing the time required for the terminal to start high-speed data transmission from entering the connected state.

[0155] Figure 7 FIG. 6 is a flow chart of a non-connected state measurement method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a non-connected state measurement method, which is applied to a base station, including:

[0156] Step 701: indicating measurement configuration information to a terminal, wherein the measurement configuration information instructs a terminal in a non-connected state to start frequency measurement, and the measurement configuration information includes one or more frequency points.

[0157] Specifically, the measurement configuration information is indicated to the terminal through a network broadcast message or an RRC dedicated message.

[0158] The RRC dedicated message may be an RRC connection release message used by the network to release the UE RRC connection and allow the UE to enter a non-connected state.

[0159] Preferably, the measurement configuration information also includes: a measurement quantity to be measured;

[0160] The measurement quantity to be measured includes: at least one of reference signal received power RSRP and reference signal received quality RSRQ.

[0161] Preferably, the measurement configuration information also includes:

[0162] Report configuration information;

[0163] The reporting configuration information includes: target measurement information to be reported and reporting conditions, the reporting conditions including the reporting threshold of signal quality and the time (Time to Tirgger, TTT) greater than the threshold. The target measurement information may specifically include at least one of RSRP and RSRQ.

[0164] The above-mentioned reporting threshold of signal quality means that the reporting is triggered only when the signal quality is greater than the reporting threshold, and the above-mentioned TTT means that the reporting is triggered only when the signal quality is greater than the reporting threshold and lasts for a certain period of time.

[0165] Step 702: Acquire a measurement result reported by the terminal according to the measurement configuration information, wherein the measurement result is reported after the terminal enters a connected state from a non-connected state.

[0166] The terminal in the non-connected state starts to perform frequency point measurement according to the measurement configuration information, and reports the measurement result obtained through the frequency point measurement after the terminal enters the connected state from the non-connected state.

[0167] Step 703: According to the measurement result, a secondary cell is configured for the terminal and activated.

[0168] Further, the step of obtaining the measurement result reported by the terminal according to the measurement configuration information in the above step 702 includes:

[0169] If the base station is notified that there is a measurement result to be reported, a measurement result reporting indication is sent to the terminal, where the measurement result reporting indication carries reporting configuration information, wherein the reporting configuration information includes: target measurement information to be reported and reporting conditions;

[0170] Acquire the measurement result that meets the reporting condition and is reported by the terminal according to the measurement result reporting indication.

[0171] In the embodiment of the present invention, measurement configuration information is indicated to the base station and the terminal, so that the terminal starts frequency measurement in a non-connected state, and can quickly report the measurement result after the terminal enters a connected state, so that the base station can configure the secondary cell in advance according to the measurement result, thereby reducing the time required for the terminal to start high-speed data transmission from entering the connected state.

[0172] A specific interaction process between the base station and the terminal in the embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0173] Figure 8 is a flowchart of the interaction between the base station and the terminal in an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 8 As shown, the interaction process includes:

[0174] Step 801: The terminal receives measurement configuration information sent by the base station.

[0175] Step 802: The terminal in the unconnected state starts to perform frequency point measurement according to the above measurement configuration information.

[0176] Step 803: The terminal sends an RRC connection establishment request to the base station.

[0177] Step 804: The base station sends an RRC connection establishment indication to the terminal.

[0178] Step 805: The terminal sends an RRC connection establishment completion message to the base station, and indicates that there is a measurement result through the RRC connection establishment completion message.

[0179] Step 806: The base station sends a measurement result reporting instruction to the terminal.

[0180] Step 807: The terminal reports the measurement result.
