[0143] The present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0144] In Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, MBS (also known as MBS services) are transmitted over the air interface using Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN). However, this MBS deployment method lacks flexibility and wastes resources. Therefore, in Fifth Generation (5G) systems, MBS deployment will likely not be based on MBSFN. Instead, MBS support will be provided at a cell-level granularity. Specifically, the base station determines whether to use point-to-point (PTP) or point-to-multipoint (PTM) transmission over the air interface based on information such as the number of user equipment (UE) receiving MBS within the cell. MBS service transmission supports both connected terminals and terminals in idle or inactive states. This means that terminals can receive MBS without being in a connected state.

[0145] In related technologies, a terminal in an idle or inactive state reselects a cell based on the measured reference signal received power (RSRP), without considering whether the cell supports MBS. Therefore, the terminal may select or reselect a cell that does not support MBS, which will affect the reception of MBS by the terminal in the idle or inactive state. In this case, for a terminal that enters a connected state and then receives MBS, it is also necessary to further switch to a cell that supports MBS before receiving MBS, which increases the latency of the terminal in performing MBS and affects the service experience.

[0146] Based on this, in various embodiments of the present invention, cell reselection is performed based on the MBS that the terminal is interested in. Specifically, there are two implementation methods:

[0147] The first approach is to define a new reselection criterion to implement cell reselection based on the MBS that the terminal is interested in.

[0148] The second method is to define a new R value calculation method to implement cell reselection based on the MBS that the terminal is interested in.

[0149] The two implementation methods are described in detail below.

[0150] For the first method, the embodiment of the present application provides a cell reselection method, which is applied to a terminal, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0151] Step 101: Receive a first parameter; the first parameter represents a minimum quality requirement for a terminal to receive MBS;

[0152] Step 102: Perform cell reselection using the received first parameter; wherein the first parameter satisfies one of the following conditions:

[0153] The first parameter is for one MBS;

[0154] The first parameter is for a TMGI;

[0155] The first parameter is common to a group of MBSs or all MBSs.

[0156] In step 101, in actual application, the network side may send the first parameter through a system message (such as SIB1 or SIB4; for example, defining a new system message for MBS, etc.), that is, broadcast the first parameter through the system; based on this, the terminal may receive the first parameter through the system message.

[0157] When the received first parameter includes the first parameter of each MBS, that is, the first parameter is based on MBS granularity, that is, when each MBS (which can be expressed as per MBS in English) corresponds to a first parameter, the network side sends the first parameter of each MBS. The first parameter of each MBS can be the same or different. For example, assuming that a cell supports four MBSs, the network side sends four first parameters, each first parameter corresponding to an MBS.

[0158] When the received first parameter includes the first parameter for each TMGI, that is, the first parameter is based on the TMGI granularity, that is, when each TMGI (which can be expressed as per TMGI) corresponds to a first parameter, the network side sends the first parameter for each TMGI. The first parameter for each TMGI can be the same or different. For example, assuming that a cell contains two TMGIs, the network side sends two first parameters, each corresponding to a TMGI.

[0159] When the received first parameter includes a first parameter common to all MBSs, that is, the first parameter is common to all MBSs, the network side only sends one first parameter. For example, assuming that a cell supports three MBSs, the network side only sends one first parameter, and one first parameter corresponds to three MBSs.

[0160] The first parameter actually represents the minimum quality requirement for a terminal to receive MBS in a cell supporting MBS.

[0161] That is, the cell corresponding to the first parameter is a cell supporting MBS; and the minimum quality requirement for receiving MBS by the terminal in the cell is met.

[0162] In actual application, the first parameter may be expressed in the form of an RSRP threshold value, a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) threshold value, or a signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) threshold value, or a combination of these thresholds. That is, the first parameter may be expressed in the form of at least one of an RSRP threshold value, an RSRQ threshold value, and an SINR threshold value.

[0163] The first parameter of different granularities actually reflects the QoS requirements or priorities of different MBS services (e.g., services with high QoS requirements or high priorities also have high quality requirements), so that when the terminal reselects a cell, it can select a cell with good quality that can provide the MBS that the terminal is interested in or wants to receive.

[0164] In one embodiment, the specific implementation of step 102 may include:

[0165] Determine the reselection ranking of the serving cell and neighboring cells;

[0166] Cell reselection is performed using the first parameter and the reselection rankings of the serving cell and the neighboring cell.

[0167] Specifically, determining a cell whose cell quality meets the first parameter requirement from the serving cell and the neighboring cells;

[0168] A cell with a high reselection ranking (ie, the top one) is selected from the cells whose cell quality meets the first parameter requirement, and cell reselection is performed.

[0169] Among them, when the first parameter is based on the granularity of MBS, that is, when the received first parameter includes the first parameter with the granularity of MBS, the terminal can determine whether the cell quality of the cell supporting MBS meets the first parameter requirement based on the MBS that the cell supporting MBS itself is interested in or wants to receive (can also be called the MBS that it hopes to receive); for example, it is assumed that cell 1 contains 3 MBSs, namely MBS1, MBS2, and MBS3; and the MBSs that the terminal is interested in or wants to receive in cell 1 are MBS1 and MBS3; when the cell quality of cell 1 meets the first parameter requirement corresponding to at least one of MBS1 and MBS3, the terminal considers cell 1 to be a cell whose cell quality meets the first parameter requirement, that is, cell 1 is a candidate cell for cell reselection.

[0170] When the first parameter is based on the granularity of TMGI, that is, when the received first parameter includes the first parameter with the granularity of TMGI, the terminal can determine whether the cell quality of the cell supporting MBS meets the first parameter requirement based on the TMGI corresponding to the MBS that the cell supporting MBS itself is interested in or the TMGI corresponding to the MBS that the terminal wants to receive. For example, it is assumed that cell 2 contains 4 TMGIs, namely TMGI1, TMGI2, TMGI3, and TMGI4; and the TMGIs corresponding to the MBS that the terminal is interested in or wants to receive in cell 2 are TMGI2 and TMGI3; when the cell quality of cell 2 meets the first parameter requirement corresponding to at least one of TMGI2 and TMGI3, the terminal considers cell 2 to be a cell whose cell quality meets the first parameter requirement, that is, cell 2 is a candidate cell for cell reselection.

[0171] When the first parameter is based on the granularity of all MBSs, that is, when the received first parameter includes the first parameter with the granularity of all MBSs, the terminal can determine whether the cell quality of the cell supporting the MBS meets the first parameter requirement based on the MBS that the cell supporting the MBS is interested in or the MBS that the terminal wants to receive. For example, it is assumed that cell 3 contains 3 MBSs, namely MBS1, MBS2, and MBS3; and the MBS that the terminal is interested in or wants to receive in cell 3 is MBS1. Since the three MBSs in cell 3 share one first parameter, at this time, as long as the cell quality of cell 3 meets the first parameter requirement, the terminal considers cell 3 as a cell whose cell quality meets the first parameter requirement, that is, cell 3 is a candidate cell for cell reselection.

[0172] When the first parameter is based on the granularity of a group of MBSs, that is, when the received first parameter includes the first parameter of a group of MBSs, the terminal can determine whether the cell quality of the cell supporting the MBS meets the first parameter requirement based on the MBS that the cell supporting the MBS is interested in or the MBS that the terminal wants to receive. For example, it is assumed that cell 4 includes 4 MBSs, namely MBS1, MBS2, MBS3, and MBS4; MBS1 and MBS2 are a group, and MBS3 and MBS4 are a group, and the MBS that the terminal is interested in or wants to receive in cell 4 is MBS1. Since MBS1 and MBS2 in cell 4 share a first parameter, and MBS3 and MBS4 share a first parameter, at this time, as long as the cell quality of cell 4 meets the first parameter requirement corresponding to MBS1, the terminal considers cell 4 to be a cell whose cell quality meets the first parameter requirement, that is, cell 4 is a candidate cell for cell reselection.

[0173] Here, it should be noted that the cell quality meeting the minimum quality requirement means that the terminal can receive the MBS in the cell only when the cell quality measured by the terminal is higher than or equal to the minimum quality for receiving the MBS.

[0174] When determining candidate cells for reselection, if a cell supports MBS, but the supported MBS is not the MBS that the terminal is interested in or wants to receive, relevant technologies may be used to perform cell reselection.

[0175] In actual application, the R criterion may be used to determine the reselection ranking of the serving cell and the neighboring cell.

[0176] Based on this, in one embodiment, determining the reselection rankings of the serving cell and the neighboring cell includes:

[0177] Determine the R value of the reselection ranking of the serving cell and the neighboring cell.

[0178] Here, in actual application, relevant technologies can be used to determine the R value of the reselection ranking of the serving cell and the neighboring cell. The R value can be understood as a reselection ranking parameter of a cell.

[0179] Specifically, the second parameter, the third parameter and the fourth parameter are used to determine the R value of the reselection ranking of the serving cell and / or the neighboring cell; the second parameter represents the signal quality of the cell (neighboring cell or serving cell); the third parameter represents the hysteresis value; and the fourth parameter represents the offset of the neighboring cell.

[0180] More specifically, the following formula is used to determine the R value of the reselection ranking of the serving cell and the neighboring cell:

[0181] R s =Q meas,s +Q hyst -Qoffset temp (1)

[0182] R n =Q meas,n -Qoffset-Qoffset temp (2)

[0183] Among them, R s R value indicating the reselection ranking of the serving cell; Q meas,s Indicates the signal quality of the serving cell (such as the RSRP measurement of the serving cell); Q meas,n Indicates the signal quality of the neighboring cell (such as the RSRP measurement of the neighboring cell); Q hyst Indicates hysteresis value; Qoffset indicates offset; Qoffset temp Indicates a temporary offset.

[0184] Here, Qoffset and Qoffset temp The value of can refer to the relevant technology and will not be described here.

[0185] In practical applications, a new R-value calculation method can also be defined, that is, the R-value of re-election with the same frequency or different frequencies and the same ranking can be calculated through the modified mechanism.

[0186] Specifically, the fifth parameter is used to determine the R value of the reselection ranking of the serving cell and / or the neighboring cell.

[0187] More specifically, the R value of the reselection ranking of the serving cell and / or the neighboring cell is determined using the second parameter, the third parameter, the fourth parameter, and the fifth parameter; the fifth parameter represents the offset of the MBS.

[0188] More specifically, the following formula is used to determine the R value of the reselection ranking of the serving cell and the neighboring cell:

[0189] Rs =Q meas,s +Q hyst -Qoffset temp +Qoffset mbs (3)

[0190] R n =Q meas,n -Qoffset-Qoffset temp +Qoffset mbs (4)

[0191] Among them, Qoffset mbs Indicates the offset of the MBS.

[0192] Here, the fifth parameter actually represents the fifth parameter of the terminal in a cell supporting MBS.

[0193] The MBS offset can be understood as the offset of the MBS service, specifically, the offset of the MBS service relative to the benchmark. When selecting the benchmark, the priority or QoS of the MBS can be considered. For example, a unicast service can be used as the benchmark, that is, the MBS offset is the offset of an MBS service relative to the unicast service; for another example, a multicast service can be set as the benchmark, and the MBS offset is the offset of an MBS service relative to the MBS service.

[0194] In one embodiment, the fifth parameter may satisfy one of the following conditions:

[0195] The fifth parameter is an offset for an MBS;

[0196] The fifth parameter is an offset for a TMGI;

[0197] The fifth parameter is an offset common to a group of MBSs or all MBSs.

[0198] Among them, when the fifth parameter is an offset for an MBS, the terminal can select the offset of at least one MBS, and use the offset of the selected at least one MBS to determine the R value of the reselection ranking of the serving cell and / or the neighboring cell. Specifically, when the fifth parameter is based on the granularity of MBS, that is, when each MBS corresponds to an offset, and the number of MBSs that meet the first condition (that is, the MBS of interest to the terminal in the cell supporting the MBS or the MBS that the terminal wants to receive in the cell supporting the MBS (which can be all the MBSs of interest or the MBSs that the terminal wants to receive in the MBS cell, or the MBS that meets the preset conditions (such as meeting a certain QoS or service priority) selected from all the MBSs of interest or the MBSs that the terminal wants to receive in the MBS cell)) is M (that is, M represents the number of MBSs that the terminal is interested in or wants to receive), the fifth parameter used when calculating the R value includes the offsets of M MBSs; M is an integer greater than or equal to 1, that is, the MBS offset of the cell is correspondingly increased by M offsets Qoffset mbs1 , Qoffset mbs2 ..., Qoffset mbsM , that is, Qoffset in the formula mbs =Qoffset mbs1 +Qoffset mbs2 +…+Qoffset mbsM In other words, when the fifth parameter is an offset for one MBS, that is, each MBS corresponds to one fifth parameter, the terminal uses the offsets of the M MBSs to determine the R value of the reselection ranking of the serving cell and / or the neighboring cell. Of course, in order to avoid causing an excessive offset to the R value, thereby causing the UE to reselect a cell with a significantly lower quality than the cell with the best quality, thereby causing greater neighboring cell interference, only one of the offsets of these MBSs may be used as the fifth parameter for calculating the R value; that is, the R value of the reselection ranking of the serving cell and / or the neighboring cell is determined using the offset of an MBS that meets the fourth condition (such as the maximum value among the offsets of these MBSs).

[0199] When the fifth parameter is an offset for a TMGI, the terminal may select at least one TMGI offset and determine the R value of the reselection ranking of the serving cell and / or neighboring cell using the offset of the selected at least one TMGI. Specifically, when the fifth parameter is based on the granularity of TMGI, that is, when each TMGI corresponds to an offset, and the number of TMGIs that meet the second condition (i.e., the TMGI corresponding to the MBS of interest to the terminal in the cell supporting MBS or the TMGI corresponding to the MBS that the terminal wants to receive in the cell supporting MBS (which may be all MBSs of interest or MBSs that the terminal wants to receive in the MBS cell, or an MBS that satisfies a preset condition (such as a certain QoS or service priority) selected from all MBSs of interest or MBSs that the terminal wants to receive)) is N (i.e., N represents the number of TMGIs corresponding to the MBSs that the terminal is interested in or wants to receive), the fifth parameter used in calculating the R value includes N TMGI offsets; N is an integer greater than or equal to 1, that is, the MBS offset of the cell is correspondingly increased by N offsets Qoffset mbs1 , Qoffset mbs2 ..., Qoffset mbsN , that is, Qoffset in the formula mbs =Qoffset mbs1 +Qoffset mbs2 +…+Qoffset mbsN In other words, when the fifth parameter is an offset for a TMGI, the offsets of N TMGIs are used to determine the R value of the reselection ranking of the serving cell and / or neighboring cell. Of course, to avoid excessive offset of the R value, thereby causing the UE to reselect to a cell with a significantly lower quality than the best cell and causing significant neighboring cell interference, only one of the TMGI offsets may be used as the fifth parameter for calculating the R value. That is, the R value of the reselection ranking of the serving cell and / or neighboring cell may be determined using the offset of a TMGI that meets the fifth condition (e.g., the maximum value among the MBS offsets of these TMGIs).

[0200] When the fifth parameter is the offset of the MBS shared by all MBSs, the terminal may use the offset of at least one MBS to determine the R value of the reselection ranking of the serving cell and / or the neighboring cell. Specifically, when the fifth parameter is based on the offset shared by all MBSs in the cell, that is, the offset shared by all MBSs, and the number of MBSs that meet the third condition (that is, the MBS of interest to the terminal in the cell supporting the MBS or the MBS that the terminal wants to receive in the cell supporting the MBS (which may be all the MBSs of interest or the MBSs that the terminal wants to receive, or the MBS that meets the preset conditions (such as meeting a certain QoS or service priority) selected from all the MBSs of interest or the MBSs that the terminal wants to receive)) is Q (that is, Q represents the number of MBS services that the terminal is interested in or wants to receive), the fifth parameter used in calculating the R value includes the offsets of Q MBSs (here, the offset of the MBS refers to the offset shared by all MBSs); Q is an integer greater than or equal to 1, that is, Qoffset in the formula mbs =Q*Qoffset mbs (representing an offset shared by all MBSs); in other words, when the fifth parameter is an offset shared by all MBSs, the offsets of the Q MBSs are used to determine the R value of the reselection ranking of the serving cell and / or neighboring cell. Of course, in order to avoid causing an excessive offset to the R value, thereby causing the UE to reselect to a cell with a significantly lower quality than the cell with the best quality, causing greater neighboring cell interference, it is also possible to use only the offset of one MBS (here, the offset of the MBS refers to the offset shared by all MBSs) as the fifth parameter used to calculate the R value; that is, when the fifth parameter is an offset shared by all MBSs, the offset of one MBS is used to determine the R value of the reselection ranking of the serving cell and / or neighboring cell.

[0201] When the fifth parameter is an offset for a group of MBSs, the terminal may select the offset of at least one group of MBSs and determine the R value of the reselection ranking of the serving cell and / or neighboring cell using the offset of the selected at least one group of MBSs. Specifically, when the fifth parameter is based on the granularity of a group of MBSs, that is, when each group of MBSs corresponds to an offset, and the number of MBSs that meet the sixth condition (that is, the TMGI corresponding to the MBS of interest to the terminal in the cell supporting the MBS or the MBS that the terminal wants to receive in the cell supporting the MBS (which may be all MBSs of interest or MBSs that the terminal wants to receive in the MBS cell, or an MBS that satisfies a preset condition (such as a certain QoS or service priority) selected from all MBSs of interest or MBSs that the terminal wants to receive in the MBS cell)) is P (that is, P represents the number of MBSs that the terminal is interested in or wants to receive), the fifth parameter used in calculating the R value includes the offsets of P groups of MBSs; P is an integer greater than or equal to 1, that is, the MBS offset of the cell is correspondingly increased by P offsets Qoffset mbs1 , Qoffset mbs2 ..., Qoffset mbsP , that is, Qoffset in the formula mbs =Qoffset mbs1 +Qoffset mbs2 +…+Qoffset mbsP In other words, when the fifth parameter is an offset for a group of MBSs, the offsets of P TMGIs are used to determine the R value of the reselection ranking of the serving cell and / or neighboring cell. Here, when the group of MBSs that the terminal is interested in or wants to receive is different, the offset of the corresponding group of MBSs needs to be used to calculate Qoffset in the formula. mbs When the MBSs that the terminal is interested in or wants to receive are in the same group, the offset of the MBS group is used to calculate the Qoffset in the formula. mbs For example, assume that cell 4 contains 4 MBSs, namely MBS1, MBS2, MBS3, and MBS4; MBS1 and MBS2 are a group, and the corresponding offset is Qoffset mbs-1 , MBS3, MBS4 are a group, the corresponding offset is Qoffset mbs-2 If the MBS that the terminal is interested in or wants to receive in cell 4 is MBS1 and MBS3, then Qoffset in the formula mbs =Qoffset mbs-1 +Qoffset mbs-2 If the MBS that the terminal is interested in or wants to receive in cell 4 is MBS1 and MBS2, then Qoffset in the formulambs =2*Qoffset mbs-1 ; Of course, in order to avoid causing an excessive offset to the R value, thereby causing the UE to reselect a cell with a large quality gap compared to the cell with the best quality, causing greater neighboring cell interference, only one of the offsets of these groups of MBSs can be used as the fifth parameter used to calculate the R value; that is, the offset of a group of MBS that meets the seventh condition (such as the maximum value of the offsets of these groups of MBSs, etc.) is used to determine the R value of the reselection ranking of the serving cell and / or neighboring cell.

[0202] In actual application, the fifth parameter can be obtained from the network side.

[0203] Based on this, in one embodiment, the method may further include:

[0204] The fifth parameter is received.

[0205] Here, the network side may send the fifth parameter via a system message, ie, broadcast the fifth parameter via the system, so that the terminal may receive the fifth parameter via a system message (such as SIB1 or SIB4; or defining a new system message for MBS, etc.).

[0206] In actual application, the R value of the reselection ranking may also be referred to as the R value of same-frequency or different-frequency reselection with the same priority.

[0207] After determining the R values ​​for the reselection ranking of the serving cell and neighboring cells, among the cells whose cell quality meets the first parameter requirement, the cell with the highest R value that supports the MBS that the terminal is interested in or wants to receive is selected for cell reselection. Specifically, the R values ​​can be sorted from high to low, and the first cell that supports the MBS that the terminal is interested in is selected for cell reselection.

[0208] Here, in actual application, when the terminal is interested in or wants to receive multiple MBSs, the cell with the highest R value can be selected for reselection among cells whose cell quality meets the first parameter requirement and supports all MBSs that the terminal is interested in or wants to receive.

[0209] When there is no cell whose cell quality meets the first parameter requirement and supports all MBSs that the terminal is interested in or wants to receive, the cell with the highest R value can be selected for reselection among the cells whose cell quality meets the first parameter requirement and supports the MBS with the highest terminal priority (that is, the terminal is most interested in or most wants to receive).

[0210] When there is no cell whose cell quality meets the first parameter requirement and supports all MBSs that the terminal is interested in or wants to receive, the cell can also be selected for cell reselection, which has the cell quality meeting the first parameter requirement and can support the most types of MBSs that the terminal is interested in or wants to receive; when there are multiple cells whose cell quality meets the first parameter requirement and can support the most types of MBSs that the terminal is interested in or wants to receive, the cell with the highest R value can be selected for reselection.

[0211] Accordingly, an embodiment of the present application further provides a cell reselection method, which is applied to a network device (specifically, a base station), including:

[0212] A first parameter is sent to the terminal; the first parameter represents a minimum quality requirement for the terminal to receive the MBS; and the sent first parameter satisfies one of the following conditions:

[0213] The first parameter is for one MBS;

[0214] The first parameter is for a TMGI;

[0215] The first parameter is common to a group of MBSs or all MBSs.

[0216] The first parameter is used by the terminal to perform cell reselection.

[0217] Here, in actual application, the network device needs to first determine the first parameter. The network device can determine the first parameter as needed.

[0218] In one embodiment, the first parameter is sent to the terminal via a system message.

[0223] The fifth parameter is an offset for a TMGI;

[0224] The fifth parameter is an offset common to a group of MBSs or all MBSs.

[0233] Here, it should be noted that the specific processing procedures of the network device and the terminal have been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.

[0234] In a cell reselection method provided in an embodiment of the present application, a network device sends a first parameter to a terminal; the first parameter represents a minimum quality requirement for the terminal to receive an MBS; the sent first parameter satisfies one of the following conditions: the first parameter is for a single MBS; the first parameter is for a single TMGI; the first parameter is common to a group of MBSs or all MBSs; the terminal uses the received first parameter to perform cell reselection, and the network device indicates to the terminal the minimum quality requirement for the terminal to receive the MBS, and the minimum quality requirement for the received MBS can reflect the QoS requirements or priorities of different MBS services, thereby adopting a new reselection criterion to implement cell reselection based on the MBS that the terminal is interested in or wants to receive. This allows the terminal to receive the MBS service of interest or desire in an idle or inactive state, or to receive the MBS service as soon as possible after entering a connected state, while also ensuring that the quality of the cell reselected by the terminal is sufficient to meet the basic requirements for receiving the MBS service.

[0242] In one embodiment, the terminal may receive the fifth parameter via a system message.

[0243] In actual application, in step 303, the terminal may select a cell with a high R value (ie, select a cell with the highest reselection ranking) to perform cell reselection.

[0244] In actual application, the R value may be used directly to perform cell reselection, that is, by executing steps 301 to 303 to perform cell reselection; the cell reselection may also be performed in combination with the MBS quality requirement.

[0256] It should be noted that: in the second method, the terminal determines the cell whose cell quality meets the first parameter requirements, determines the R value, and uses the R value to perform cell reselection. The specific processing process can refer to the description in the first method and will not be repeated here.

[0276] Step 403: The terminal performs cell reselection using the R values ​​of the reselection rankings of the serving cell and the neighboring cell.

[0277] Here, it should be noted that the specific processing procedures of the network device and the terminal have been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.

This enables the terminal to receive the MBS service of interest or intended reception in an idle or inactive state, or to receive the MBS service as soon as possible after entering a connected state, while also ensuring that the quality of the cell reselected by the terminal satisfies the basic requirements for receiving the MBS service.
