[0305] Relax the measured reception level value Srxlev or the change in the reference symbol received power RSRP;

[0306] Relax the threshold of measured Srxlev or RSRP.

[0307] The present invention is described below in conjunction with scenario embodiments.

[0308] The role of traditional MDT is that the terminal collects measurement results and reports them to the network side to assist the network in network optimization. However, due to the introduction of measurement relaxation technology, the reported measurement results are adversely affected, affecting the accuracy and misleading the network side into thinking that the coverage is insufficient. This embodiment provides a terminal measurement reporting method. On the one hand, through the indication of the network side, the terminal is informed whether it should give priority to meeting the energy saving requirements or the MDT measurement record requirements; on the other hand, when recording the log, the terminal also records the measurement relaxation related information at the same time, assisting the network side to know which measurement results at which moments in the measurement record are obtained during the terminal measurement relaxation period, so as to avoid the relaxed measurement results from misleading the network optimization.

[0309] The following describes the network side and the terminal side respectively.

[0310] 1. The network side indicates whether to relax the measurement during the logged MDT period

[0311] The network side sends indication information to the terminal, where the indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0312] Logged MDT can cover measurement relaxation; that is, if a terminal is configured with logged MDT, the terminal does not perform measurement relaxation during the T330 timer operation;

[0313] Measurement relaxation can cover logged MDT; that is, if the terminal is configured with logged MDT, the terminal performs measurement relaxation during the operation of the T330 timer;

[0314] During the measurement relaxation period, logged MDT is suspended; that is, if the terminal meets the measurement relaxation conditions, measurement relaxation is enabled and logged MDT is stopped to achieve the goal of complete power saving;

[0315] Whether to record the measurement relaxation information in the log, which is used to indicate whether the terminal should record the measurement relaxation information in the log summary; or, it can also indicate the relaxation multiple, for example, the measurement period is expanded by 2 times, 4 times, 8 times, etc.;

[0316] Measurement effective time; the terminal receives the measurement effective time sent by the network side, the effective time is used for evaluation, if the measurement result is more than the effective time from the time of recording the log, the measurement result is not recorded;

[0317] Terminals that meet the measurement relaxation conditions stop recording the same-frequency neighboring areas, but need to continue measuring and recording different-frequency neighboring areas. This is because terminals that meet the measurement relaxation conditions are likely to be in the center of the cell, and even if they can measure the same-frequency neighboring areas, the signals are extremely weak. The network side can instruct the terminal through this message to only measure different-frequency neighboring areas.

[0318] The T330 timer is a timer that runs when the terminal is in Logged MDT.

[0319] The terminal determines whether measurement relaxation can be performed during the logged MDT period according to the indication information sent by the network side, and further whether the same-frequency neighbor cell measurement or the different-frequency measurement can be relaxed.

[0320] 2. When the terminal records logged MDT, record the measurement relaxation information

[0321] When recording logs, the terminal will go through multiple cells, and the energy-saving configuration of each cell is different. For example, different cells have different threshold settings for relaxation measurement, and the threshold can be a power value threshold or a speed threshold. As a result, the measurement results measured by the terminal in each cell may not necessarily reflect the network coverage directly.

[0322] According to the related technology, the network side receives the log reported by the terminal, but does not know which data in the log information is the quantity collected after the terminal relaxes the measurement. To solve this problem, the terminal needs to record whether it is currently in the state of measurement relaxation when recording the log.

[0323] Therefore, in this embodiment, when the terminal performs logged MDT, it records and reports at least one of the following information:

[0324] Timestamp; used to indicate the occurrence time of the current record;

[0325] Serving cell ID;

[0326] Serving cell measurement relaxation, used to indicate that the measurement of the serving cell is relaxed during the current recording;

[0327] The same-frequency neighboring cell measurement relaxation is used to indicate that the measurement of the same-frequency neighboring cell is relaxed; that is, the terminal does not measure and record the measurement results of the same-frequency neighboring cell, or it can also indicate the relaxation multiple, for example, the measurement period is expanded by 2 times, 4 times, 8 times, etc.;

[0328] Inter-frequency measurement relaxation is used to indicate that the inter-frequency measurement is relaxed; that is, the terminal does not measure and record the inter-frequency measurement result. The inter-frequency measurement relaxation information may also include a frequency point to indicate which frequency point measurement is relaxed; or may also indicate a relaxation multiple, for example, the measurement period is expanded by 2 times, 4 times, 8 times, etc.;

[0329] The change in Srxlev (received level value) or RSRP (reference symbol received power) of the relaxed measurement; that is, the change in Srxlev or RSRP configured by the serving cell for judging the relaxation of the measurement. This information is reported to the network side to indicate that in the cell currently recorded in the log, although the current measurement has been relaxed, it can be expected that the measurement value change of the serving cell or neighboring cell will not exceed the Srxlev or RSRP change;

[0330] Relax the measured Srxlev or RSRP threshold; that is, the RSRP threshold of the cell measured in the current log record is used to characterize the lowest Srxlev or RSRP recorded in the current serving cell. Since the Srxlev or RSRP thresholds of different cells are different, the scale of measurement relaxation is different. This information is reported for the network management to determine the lowest Srxlev or RSRP of the serving cell at the current recording time.

[0331] The above description focuses on carrying measurement relaxation information when the terminal records and reports logs.

[0332] The following two embodiments list two other applicable scenarios, namely, recording the measurement relaxation information when a connection establishment failure, a random access conflict or a failure occurs, and reporting it to the network side.

[0333] Embodiment 1

[0334] The connection establishment failure message carries measurement relaxation information to assist the network side in determining whether the connection establishment failure is due to measurement relaxation causing the terminal to reside in a non-optimal cell. The method flow is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, including:

[0335] Step 501: When the terminal is in an idle state, if the measurement relaxation condition is met and the measurement relaxation is started, the terminal will not measure the neighboring cells and / or neighboring frequencies, or extend the period of measuring the neighboring cells, which may cause the terminal to reside in a non-optimal cell (the optimal cell is usually the cell with the highest ranking in the cell reselection R criterion);

[0336] Step 502: The terminal initiates a connection establishment request;

[0337] Step 503: Determine that the RRC connection establishment fails, i.e., CEF (RRC establishment failure). The terminal records the CEF Report and reports the CEF Report when entering the connection next time. The CEF report carries measurement relaxation information to assist the network side in determining whether the CEF is caused by measurement relaxation.

[0338] The measurement relaxation information includes at least one of the following:

[0339] Timestamp;

[0340] Serving cell ID;

[0341] Serving cell measurement relaxation, used to indicate that the serving cell measurement is relaxed;

[0342] The measurement relaxation of the same-frequency neighboring cell is used to indicate that the measurement of the same-frequency neighboring cell is relaxed;

[0343] Inter-frequency measurement relaxation, used to indicate that the inter-frequency measurement is relaxed;

[0344] Relax the measured change in Srxlev (received level value) or RSRP (reference symbol received power);

[0345] Relax the threshold of measured Srxlev or RSRP.

[0346] Embodiment 2

[0347] The above scheme is also applicable to the random access report (RA-Report), that is, due to the measurement relaxation, the terminal does not select the most suitable beam or the most suitable cell, which may cause multiple collisions or random access failures of the terminal. Therefore, in this embodiment, the random access report sent by the terminal to the network side carries the measurement relaxation information, and the measurement relaxation information is the same as that in the first embodiment.

[0348] The embodiments of the present invention can solve the problem of inaccurate MDT measurement and even misleading network optimization when measurement relaxation and MDT are enabled at the same time.

[0349] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
