[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specified order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first" and "second" are generally of the same type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, the "and" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0028] It is worth noting that the technology described in the embodiments of the present application is not limited to the Long Term Evolution (LTE) / LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) system, but can also be used in other wireless communication systems, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) and other systems. The terms "system" and "network" in the embodiments of the present application are often used interchangeably, and the described technology can be used for the systems and radio technologies mentioned above as well as for other systems and radio technologies. However, the following description describes a New Radio (NR) system for illustrative purposes, and the NR terminology is used in most of the following descriptions, although these technologies can also be applied to applications other than NR system applications, such as the 6th generation (6 th Generation, 6G) communication system.

[0029] In order to facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the following technical points are first introduced below:

[0030] 1. The process of the terminal sending a report to the network side:

[0031] The terminal can perform a series of reported measurements in the idle / inactive state, some of which are shown below:

[0032] (1) Random Access Channel (RACH) report;

[0033] (2) Minimization of drive tests (MDT) logged measurement information (if the network has configured the UE);

[0034] (3) Connection failure report (connEstFailReport);

[0035] (4) Radio Link Failure (RLF) report (rlf-Report);

[0036] (5) Mobility history information report (mobilityHistoryReport).

[0037] When the terminal enters the connected state from the idle state, if there are reports on the terminal side that have not been reported to the network side before, the availability indicator corresponding to each report will be sent to the network side ( Figure 1 Step a); if there is a "connection failure report" and an RLF report on the terminal side, the terminal will send a message to the network side when entering the connected state, and the message carries an indication field indicating the availability of connection establishment failure information (connEstFailInfoAvailable) and RLF information availability (rlf-InfoAvailable).

[0038] After receiving the message, the network side sends a request message to the terminal to obtain the report according to its own needs ( Figure 1 Step b), the message may only request reports from some terminals;

[0039] For example, when the terminal indicates to the network that it has an RLF report and a connection failure report, the network can independently choose whether to obtain the report or which report to obtain, such as only carrying a request for an RLF report (rlf-ReportReq) in the message or not sending the message (i.e., not requesting any report).

[0040] After receiving the request message from the network side, the terminal sends the corresponding report to the network ( Figure 1 Step c).

[0041] 2. About availability indication:

[0042] Currently, the messages that can carry report existence indication include: RRC Setup Complete (RRCSetupComplete) / RRC Recovery Complete (RRCResumeComplete) / RRC Reconfiguration Complete (RRCReconfigurationComplete) / RRC Reestablishment Complete (RRCReestablishmentComplete) (Type A messages) and Terminal Information Response (UEInformationResponse) (Type B messages).

[0043] It should be noted that Class A messages are used to initially indicate the existence of terminal-side reports, while Class B messages (UEInformationResponse) are used after the initial indication to notify the network side whether there are any reports that have not been fully sent. For example, when an RLF report exists, the terminal will send any of the Class A messages to the network side when entering the connected state, and carry rlf-InfoAvailable in the message to inform the network side that the UE has an RLF report. When the network side initiates a request for the RLF report and the terminal fails to send all the contents of the report (for example, the report data volume is too large to be sent at one time), the terminal will carry rlf-InfoAvailable in the UEInformationResponse that sends the RLF report to inform the network that there are still RLF reports that have not been obtained on the terminal side.

[0044] Currently, this indication can only be used to indicate terminal-side reports on a master node (MN), and there is no mechanism to indicate reports on a secondary node (SN).

[0045] 3. About the terminal information request (UEInformationRequest) message:

[0046] This message is used by the network side to request the terminal to obtain corresponding information, such as requesting the terminal to send idle mode measurement (idle mode measurement), recorded measurement report (logged measurement report), connection establishment failure report (connection establishment failure report), RACH report, etc.

[0047] 4. About the terminal information response (UEInformationResponse) message:

[0048] This message is used by the terminal to send relevant information previously requested by the network to the network. For example, when ra-ReportReq-r16 in UEInformationRequest is set to 'true', the terminal will include ra-ReportList-r16 in the UEInformationResponse message and send it to the network.

[0049] This message can only be used to deliver MN related reports. It can be sent using signalling radio bearers (SRB) 1 and SRB2. SRB2 is used when logged measurement information is included in this message.

[0050] Figure 2A block diagram of a wireless communication system applicable to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 21, a network side device 22 and a network side device 23. Among them, the terminal 21 can also be called a terminal device or a user terminal (User Equipment, UE), and the terminal 21 can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a laptop computer (Laptop Computer) or a notebook computer, a personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA), a handheld computer, a netbook, an ultra-mobile personal computer (ultra-mobile personal computer, UMPC), a mobile Internet device (Mobile Internet Device, MID), a wearable device (WearableDevice) or a vehicle-mounted device (VUE), a pedestrian terminal (PUE) and other terminal side devices, and the wearable device includes: a bracelet, a headset, glasses, etc. It should be noted that the specific type of the terminal 21 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The network side device 22 and the network side device 23 can be a base station or a core network, wherein the base station can be referred to as a node B, an evolved node B, an access point, a base transceiver station (Base Transceiver Station, BTS), a radio base station, a radio transceiver, a basic service set (Basic Service Set, BSS), an extended service set (Extended Service Set, ESS), a B node, an evolved B node (eNB), a home B node, a home evolved B node, a WLAN access point, a WiFi node, a transmitting and receiving point (Transmitting Receiving Point, TRP) or some other suitable term in the field. As long as the same technical effect is achieved, the base station is not limited to the specified technical vocabulary. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, only the base station in the NR system is taken as an example, but the specific type of the base station is not limited.

[0148] Step 3: The UE ends the idle / inactive state and first resumes the connection state with a certain cell (i.e., it is connected to the MN, but the SN connection has not been established at this time), and carries an indication of the existence of the MN / SN Logged MDT report (logMeasAvailableSCG) in any of the following messages:

[0149] (a)RRCSetupComplete;

[0150] (b)RRCResumeComplete;

[0151] (c) RRCReconfigurationComplete;

[0152] (d)RRRCReestablishmentComplete;

[0153] (e)RRCConnectionSetupComplete;

[0154] (f)RRCConnectionResumeComplete;

[0155] (g)RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete;

[0156] (h)RRCConnectionReestablishmentComplete.

[0157] For example, if the UE is suspended and receives a resume message from the network, the connection is restored using the RRCResumeComplete message (MN is the base station of the NR system).

[0158] Alternatively, the UE receives a reconfiguration message from the network side and successfully restores the connection, then sends an RRCReconfigurationComplete message. (MN is a base station of the NR system).

[0159] It can be understood that the above message can be selected based on whether the MN is a gNB or an eNB, and the process through which the terminal returns to the connected state.

[0160] Step 4: The network side decides whether to obtain the report based on the demand. If necessary, it sends a report request message to the UE (UEInformationRequest), which carries a request identifier, such as logMeasReportReqSCG, to request the UE to report the logged MDT as an SN node in the MR-DC state.

[0161] In step 4, the network side can decide which reports are needed for the SN after the UE restores the MR-DC connection according to the needs; or the MN transfers the existence indication of the SN-side report to the SN through the X2 / Xn interface, and the SN decides.

[0162] Step 5: The UE sends the requested logged MDT report as an SN node in the MR-DC state to the network side through UEInformationResponse; if the logged MDT report as an SN node in the MR-DC state cannot be sent in full in this transmission, the UE will carry logMeasAvailableSCG again in the UEInformationResponse message to indicate that there are still unobtained reports on the terminal side.

[0163] Step 6: The network side decides whether to obtain the report based on demand. If necessary, repeat steps 4 and 5.

[0164] Embodiment 2: Acquisition of SN logged MDT measurement report (reported after UE restores MR-DC)

[0165] Step 1: The UE receives the logged measurement configuration configured for the UE by the MN (or the first network node) and the SN (or the second network node) respectively in MR-DC (connected state);

[0166] Step 2: The UE enters the idle / inactive state, and records the measurement values ​​in the areas configured by the first network node and the second network node (NR according to the AreaConfiguration of the measured cell, LTE according to the configuration in the targetMBSFN-AreaList and AreaConfiguration of the measured MBSFN), and obtains the logged MDT report measured under the configuration of the first network node (called MN logged MDT report) and the logged MDT report measured under the configuration of the second network node (called logged MDT report as an SN node in the MR-DC state);

[0167] Step 3: The UE ends the idle / inactive state and first resumes the connection state with a certain cell (i.e., it is connected to the MN, but the SN connection has not been established at this time). At this time, only the indication information related to the MN in the last MR-DC state is carried; when the UE establishes a connection with the SN, the indication of the existence of the SN Logged MDT report in the last MR-DC state (logMeasAvailable) is carried in any of the following messages:

[0168] (a)RRCSetupComplete;

[0169] (b)RRCResumeComplete;

[0170] (c) RRCReconfigurationComplete;

[0171] (d)RRRCReestablishmentComplete.

[0172] It can be understood that the above message can be selected based on whether the MN is a gNB or an eNB, and the process through which the terminal returns to the connected state.

[0173] The selected first message is transmitted via the uplink information (UL information transfer for MR-DC) message for dual connection, that is, the RRC message sent by the terminal to the SN is carried in the UL information transfer for MR-DC and sent to the MN; after receiving it, the MN forwards the RRC message to be sent to the SN to the SN.

[0174] Step 5: The network side (SN) decides whether to obtain the report based on the demand. If necessary, it sends a report request message to the UE (UEInformationRequest), which carries a request identifier, such as logMeasReportReqSCG, to request the UE to report the last logged MDT as an SN node in the MR-DC state;

[0175] Step 6: The UE sends the requested logged MDT report as an SN node in the MR-DC state to the network side through UEInformationResponse; if the logged MDT report as an SN node in the MR-DC state cannot be sent in full in this transmission, the UE will carry logMeasAvailable again in the UEInformationResponse message to indicate that there are still unobtained reports on the terminal side.

[0176] Step 7: The network side decides whether to obtain the report based on demand. If necessary, repeat steps 4 and 5.
