BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a method for accessing a network in an embodiment of the present invention;

[0023] Figure 2It is a structural diagram of a user equipment in an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] As described above, in the prior art, the base station can configure the remote UE to access through the PC5 sidelink and the Uu interface according to factors such as the wireless channel environment. When the remote UE accesses through the PC5 sidelink according to the configuration of the base station, it still needs to perform measurements of the Uu service cell and the neighboring cell so as to be able to switch to the Uu service cell with better signal quality in a timely manner. Therefore, the power consumption of the remote UE is relatively large.

[0025] In an embodiment of the present invention, the remote UE determines to trigger the sending of indication information, and sends indication information to the base station to inform the base station that it wishes to keep accessing the network through the relay UE, or not to access the network through the relay UE, or to request the base station to configure the measurement relaxation condition corresponding to the measurement relaxation, so that the base station can obtain the desired access method. By informing the base station that it wishes to keep accessing the network through the relay UE, or requesting the base station to configure the measurement relaxation condition corresponding to the measurement relaxation, the power consumption of the remote UE can be reduced.

[0026] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and beneficial effects of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for accessing a network, referring to Figure 1 , the following is a detailed description through specific steps.

[0028] Step S101, determining to send trigger indication information.

[0029] In a specific implementation, the condition for triggering the remote UE to send the indication information may be preset. When the remote UE detects that the condition for triggering the sending of the indication information is met, it may determine to trigger the sending of the indication information.

[0030] The condition for presetting the remote UE to trigger the sending of the indication information may be a time condition. For example, the remote UE is a smart watch and the relay UE is a smart phone. The remote UE records the user's usage habits and learns that the user falls asleep after 23:00 p.m. and wakes up after 6:00 a.m. During this period, the remote UE and the relay UE are placed at a relatively close distance. Therefore, the condition for triggering the sending of the indication information may be pre-set as: the time is between 23:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.

[0031] The condition for the remote UE to trigger the sending of the indication information may also be other types of conditions, as long as it can be determined that when the condition is met, the distance between the remote UE and the relay UE is close, so that the remote UE can access the network through the relay UE.

[0032] In a specific implementation, the user may set the condition for the remote UE to trigger the sending of the indication information, or the remote UE may set the condition for the remote UE to trigger the sending of the indication information according to the user's usage conditions.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present invention, the indication information may be information indicating to the base station to keep accessing the network through the relay UE, or may be information indicating not to keep accessing the network through the relay UE, or may be information indicating to the base station to configure measurement relaxation.

[0034] In practical applications, it can be known that when the remote UE accesses the network through the relay UE, it accesses the network through the PC5 sidelink. Therefore, the information indicating that the remote UE maintains access to the network through the relay UE can be: information about maintaining access to the network through the PC5 sidelink. Correspondingly, the information indicating that the remote UE does not maintain access to the network through the relay UE can be: information about not maintaining access to the network through the PC5 sidelink. Not maintaining access to the network through the PC5 sidelink can mean that the remote UE accesses the network through the Uu interface, or switches between the PC5 sidelink and the Uu interface to access the network.

[0035] Step S102: Send indication information to the base station.

[0036] In a specific implementation, the remote UE may send indication information to the base station. In an embodiment of the present invention, the remote UE may send indication information to the base station after the remote UE determines to trigger the sending of the indication information, or after the remote UE detects that a certain condition is met, for example, the remote UE sends indication information to the base station regularly.

[0037] When the remote UE sends the indication information to the base station, it may send the indication information to the base station through an RRC connection establishment request (RRC setup request), and may also send the indication information to the base station through UE assistance information (UE Assistance Information, UAI).

[0038] It is understandable that the remote UE may also send the indication information to the base station in other ways.

[0039] In a specific implementation, after receiving the indication information sent by the remote UE, the base station may reconfigure the remote UE according to the request of the remote UE.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present invention, if the indication information received by the base station is to keep accessing the network through the relay UE, the base station can reconfigure the remote UE, delete the Uu measurement target, or configure the UE not to perform Uu measurement, or configure the UE measurement relaxation condition, or do not switch the remote UE to the Uu connection. After receiving the measurement relaxation, if the remote UE detects that the measurement relaxation condition is met, it can perform the corresponding measurement relaxation behavior.

[0041] Accordingly, if the indication information received by the base station is not to maintain access to the network through the relay UE, the base station can reconfigure the remote UE, configure the measurement of the Uu service cell and the neighboring cell for the remote UE, and switch to the Uu connection when the Uu signal condition is better than PC5. After receiving the above configuration, when the remote UE detects that the signal quality of the Uu service cell is better than the signal quality of the PC5 sidelink and meets the measurement trigger condition, the measurement report is triggered, and the base station can switch the remote UE to Uu communication.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present invention, the indication information sent by the remote UE is information for indicating to maintain access to the network through the relay UE, and can be used to indicate information for requesting configuration of measurement relaxation. In other words, after receiving the indication information sent by the remote UE, the base station can configure the measurement relaxation condition for the remote UE and send it to the remote UE.

[0043] It can be known from the above content that the remote UE may also directly send indication information to the base station, where the indication information is information indicating a request to configure measurement relaxation.

[0044] If the indication information received by the base station indicates a request to configure measurement relaxation, the base station may configure a corresponding measurement relaxation condition for the remote UE according to the indication information, and send the configured measurement relaxation condition to the remote UE. After receiving the measurement relaxation condition, if the remote UE detects that the measurement relaxation condition is met, it may perform the corresponding measurement relaxation behavior.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present invention, the measurement relaxation condition may include a mobility condition and a distance condition. Specifically, the mobility condition may include at least one of the following: the change amount of the RSRP of the PC5 sidelink signal within the preset time window is less than the preset first threshold, and the change amount of the RSRQ of the PC5 sidelink signal within the preset time window is less than the preset second threshold; the distance condition may include at least one of the following: the RSRP of the PC5 sidelink signal is higher than the preset third threshold, and the RSRQ of the PC5 sidelink signal is higher than the preset fourth threshold.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the remote UE detects that the measurement relaxation condition is met, the measurement relaxation behavior performed may be not measuring the Uu service cell and the neighboring cell, so there is no need to report the measurement results of the Uu service cell and the neighboring cell, thereby reducing the power consumption of the remote UE. After the remote UE detects that the measurement relaxation condition is met, the measurement relaxation behavior performed may be increasing the measurement period of the Uu service cell and the neighboring cell, that is, the measurement period of the Uu service cell and the neighboring cell is increased, thereby reducing the power consumption of the remote UE.

[0047] For example, the measurement period of the Uu service cell and neighboring cell configured by the base station for the remote UE is 10ms. The remote UE sends an indication message to the base station, requesting the base station to configure a measurement relaxation condition for it. After receiving the measurement relaxation condition sent by the base station, the remote UE detects that the measurement relaxation condition is met and adjusts the measurement period of the Uu service cell and neighboring cell to 30ms.

[0048] It can be understood that the above example is only for illustrative purposes and does not mean that only the measurement period of the Uu serving cell and the neighboring cell is adjusted to 30 ms.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present invention, the remote UE may be a smart electronic device such as a smart watch, a smart bracelet, a smart phone, or other types of smart electronic devices, or an Internet of Things device. The relay UE may be a smart phone or a smart electronic device such as a tablet computer.

[0050] The method for accessing a network provided in the above embodiment of the present invention is described below by taking examples.

[0051] In Example 1, the smartwatch remote UE1 accesses the base station gNB1 through the smartphone relay UE2 at 23:00 in the evening. The smartwatch remote UE1 determines that it may not be away from the smartphone relay UE2 for a long time. Therefore, the sending of the trigger indication information is satisfied, and the indication information is sent to the base station gNB1 through the RRC setup request to inform the base station gNB1 that it currently wants to maintain PC5 sidelink access. After receiving the indication information, the base station gNB1 reconfigures the smartwatch remote UE1 and does not configure the measurement of the Uu service cell and neighboring cells for the smartwatch remote UE1, that is, the smartwatch remote UE1 is configured not to measure the Uu service cell and neighboring cells. The smartwatch remote UE1 maintains PC5 sidelink access until the base station gNB1 instructs the smartwatch remote UE1 not to maintain PC5 sidelink access.

[0052] The base station gNB1 instructs the smart watch remote UE1 not to maintain PC5 sidelink access, which may be that the smart watch remote UE1 sends an indication message of not maintaining PC5 sidelink access to the base station. After receiving the indication message of not maintaining PC5 sidelink access, the base station reconfigures the smart watch remote UE1 and configures the measurement of the Uu service cell and the neighboring cell for it.

[0053] It can be seen that the smart watch remote UE1 sends an indication message to the base station gNB1 to inform the base station gNB1 to maintain PC5sidelink access. For a period of time, the smart watch remote UE1 always accesses the base station gNB1 through PC5sidelink instead of accessing the base station gNB1 through the Uu interface. Since the power consumption required for the smart watch remote UE1 to transmit to the nearby smartphone relay UE2 is less than that required to transmit to the distant base station gNB1, the power consumption of the smart watch remote UE1 can be greatly reduced.

[0054] In Example 2, the smartwatch remote UE3 accesses the base station gNB2 through the smartphone relay UE4 at 10 am. The smartwatch remote UE3 determines that it may be away from the smartphone relay UE4 for a period of time. Therefore, it meets the triggering indication information and sends the indication information to the base station gNB2 through the UAI to inform the base station gNB2 that it currently does not want to maintain the PC5 sidelink access. After receiving the indication information, the base station gNB2 reconfigures the smartwatch remote UE3 and configures the Uu service cell and neighboring cell measurement for the smartwatch remote UE3, that is, configures the smartwatch remote UE3 to perform the Uu service cell and neighboring cell measurement. As the smart watch remote UE3 worn by the user moves, the smart watch remote UE3 measures and finds that the signal quality of the Uu service cell is better than the PC5 sidelink signal quality, triggering a measurement report. The base station gNB2 switches the smart watch remote UE3 to Uu communication. At this time, the smart watch remote UE3 communicates directly with the base station gNB2 instead of communicating with the base station gNB2 through the smartphone relay UE4.

[0055] It can be seen that the smart watch remote UE3 can send an indication message to the base station gNB2 to inform the base station gNB2 that it does not want to maintain PC5 sidelink access. If the smart watch remote UE3 wants to maintain PC5 sidelink access again, when the triggering indication message is met, it will resend the indication message to the base station gNB2 to inform the base station that it currently wants to maintain PC5 sidelink access.

[0056] In Example 3, the smartwatch remote UE5 accesses the base station gNB3 through the smartphone relay UE6 at 10 am. The smartwatch remote UE5 is configured by the base station gNB3 to measure the Uu service cell and neighboring cells. The smartwatch remote UE5 determines the trigger indication information and sends the indication information to the base station to request the base station gNB3 to configure the corresponding measurement relaxation conditions for it. After receiving the indication information, the base station gNB3 configures the measurement relaxation conditions for the smartwatch remote UE5 as follows: the change of the PC5 sidelink signal RSRP within the time window length T0 is less than the threshold TH0, and the measurement relaxation behavior is not to measure. The base station gNB3 sends the configured measurement relaxation conditions to the smartwatch remote UE5. After receiving the measurement relaxation conditions, the smartwatch remote UE5 does not measure the Uu service cell and neighboring cells, and does not report the measurement results of the Uu service cell and neighboring cells. The smartwatch remote UE5 always maintains PC5 sidelink access.

[0057] It can be seen that the smart watch remote UE5 sends an indication message to the base station gNB3 to request the base station gNB3 to configure the corresponding measurement relaxation conditions for it. After receiving the indication message, the base station gNB3 configures the measurement relaxation conditions for the smart watch remote UE5. After receiving the measurement relaxation conditions sent by the base station gNB3, the smart watch remote UE5 performs the corresponding measurement sending behavior. Since the smart watch remote UE5 does not perform Uu service cell and neighboring cell measurements, nor does it report the corresponding measurement results, the power consumption of the smart watch remote UE5 can be greatly reduced.
