Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular to a method and device for triggering neighboring cell measurement, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement is a basic activity to achieve mobility management and is also one of the important reasons for the energy consumption of User Equipment (UE).

[0003] At present, in the existing NB-IOT protocol, the UE does not support RRM measurement in the connected state (RRC_CONNECTDE STATE), that is, when the UE radio link fails, the UE needs to enter the idle state to perform the target cell search process (i.e., RRM measurement activity). After finding a suitable target cell, the UE initiates the RRC re-establishment process. In order to reduce the delay required for the RRC re-establishment process, it is hoped that the UE can perform some RRM measurement activities (i.e., neighboring cell measurement activities) before the radio link fails. In this case, the UE already knows the target cell before the radio link fails, and there is no need to perform the target cell search during the RRC re-establishment process.

[0004] In the existing neighboring cell measurement mechanism, the UE determines whether to perform neighboring cell measurement based on the reference signal quality of the current serving cell. That is, when the reference signal quality (e.g., RSRP) of the serving cell is lower than a certain threshold, the UE starts the neighboring cell measurement activity (i.e., monitoring the reference signal of the neighboring cell and obtaining the service quality of the neighboring cell).

[0005] However, under the existing neighboring cell measurement mechanism, the energy consumption of UE is relatively large. Summary of the invention

[0032] As described above, in the existing neighboring cell measurement mechanism, the UE determines whether to perform neighboring cell measurement based on the reference signal quality of the current serving cell, that is, when the reference signal quality (e.g., RSRP) of the serving cell is lower than a certain threshold, the UE starts the neighboring cell measurement activity (i.e., monitoring the reference signal of the neighboring cell to obtain the service quality of the neighboring cell). However, the existing neighboring cell measurement mechanism has the technical problem of high energy consumption.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present invention, the user equipment selects a corresponding target measurement trigger threshold according to the current corresponding mobility, and triggers the neighboring cell measurement activity when the reference signal quality of the current serving cell is worse than the target trigger threshold, and different mobilities correspond to different target trigger thresholds. When the user equipment meets the low mobility criterion, the measurement activity of the user equipment can be reduced by setting a smaller target trigger threshold.

[0034] 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.

[0035] The embodiment of the present invention provides a neighboring cell measurement triggering method, referring to Figure 1 , the following is a detailed description through specific steps.

[0036] Step S101: receiving a neighboring cell measurement trigger condition.

[0037] In a specific implementation, the base station may send a neighboring cell measurement trigger condition to the user equipment through a system message or a high-layer signaling. In an embodiment of the present invention, the neighboring cell measurement trigger condition may include a first neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold and a second neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold, and the first neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold and the second neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold satisfy the following relationship: the reference signal quality value corresponding to the first neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold is lower than the reference signal quality value corresponding to the second neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present invention, the high-layer signaling may be a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) signaling.

[0039] In a specific implementation, the first neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold may include a threshold of a reference signal receiving power (ReferenceSignal Receiving Power, RSRP), may also include a reference signal receiving quality (ReferenceSignal Receiving Quality, RSRQ), and may also include both the reference signal receiving power and the reference signal receiving quality.

[0040] Correspondingly, the second neighboring cell measurement triggering threshold may also include only the reference signal received power, or only the reference signal received quality, or both the reference signal received power and the reference signal received quality.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present invention, in order to facilitate comparison, the type of the first neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold and the type of the second neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold may be set to be the same. For example, if the first neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold includes a reference signal reception quality, then the second neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold also includes a reference signal reception quality, and the reference signal reception quality corresponding to the second neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold is greater than the reference signal reception quality corresponding to the first neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold.

[0042] Step S102: Determine a target triggering threshold for triggering neighboring cell measurement from the first neighboring cell measurement triggering threshold and the second neighboring cell measurement triggering threshold according to the current corresponding mobility.

[0043] In a specific implementation, the user equipment may determine its current corresponding mobility. In the embodiment of the present invention, it may determine whether the current state meets the low mobility criterion according to the preset low mobility criterion, and then select the target triggering threshold for triggering neighboring cell measurement according to the determined mobility result.

[0044] In a specific application, the user equipment may determine the current corresponding mobility according to its current moving speed. When the user equipment meets the preset low mobility criteria, it may be determined that the current moving speed of the user equipment is relatively slow; when the user equipment does not meet the preset low mobility criteria, it may be determined that the current moving speed of the user equipment is relatively fast. Specifically, the specific content of the low mobility criteria and the determination method may refer to the existing communication protocol.

[0045] In a specific implementation, when the user equipment determines that the current moving speed meets the low mobility criterion, the first neighboring area measurement trigger threshold can be determined as the target trigger threshold; conversely, when the user equipment determines that the current moving speed does not meet the low mobility criterion, the second neighboring area measurement trigger threshold can be determined as the target trigger threshold.

[0046] In practical applications, it can be seen that a measurement relaxation mechanism is introduced in NR R16, and a low mobility evaluation criterion is also introduced, that is, whether the RSRP change range of the user equipment exceeds the threshold value configured by the network within a certain period of time to determine whether it is low mobility.

[0047] Step S103: When it is detected that the reference signal quality of the current serving cell is worse than the target trigger threshold, a neighboring cell measurement activity is triggered.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present invention, the reference signal quality value of the current serving cell may be compared with the reference signal quality value corresponding to the target trigger threshold. If the reference signal quality value of the current serving cell is less than the reference signal quality value corresponding to the target trigger threshold, it is determined that the reference signal quality of the current serving cell is worse than the target trigger threshold.

[0049] In a specific implementation, after determining the target trigger threshold according to mobility, the user equipment may compare the reference signal quality value of the currently camped serving cell with the reference signal quality value corresponding to the target trigger threshold. When the user equipment detects that the reference signal quality value of the current serving cell is worse than the reference signal quality value corresponding to the target trigger threshold, a neighboring cell measurement activity may be triggered.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the target trigger threshold is the RSRP threshold (hereinafter referred to as threshold R1), the user equipment compares the RSRP value of the current serving cell (hereinafter referred to as R0) with R1. When R0 is less than R1, the neighboring cell measurement activity is triggered.

[0051] When the target trigger threshold is the RSRQ threshold (hereinafter referred to as Q1), the user equipment compares the RSRQ value of the current serving cell (hereinafter referred to as Q0) with R1. When Q0 is less than Q1, the neighboring cell measurement activity is triggered.

[0052] When the target trigger threshold is R1 to Q1, it is necessary to compare the size between R1 and R0 and the size between Q1 and Q0. When R0 is less than R1 and Q0 is less than Q1, the neighboring cell measurement activity is triggered.

[0053] It can be seen that the target trigger threshold is determined by the current mobility of the user equipment, and when the reference signal quality corresponding to the current serving cell is worse than the target trigger threshold, the neighboring cell measurement activity is triggered. When the user equipment meets the low mobility criterion, the measurement activity of the user equipment can be reduced by setting a smaller target trigger threshold.

[0054] Reference Figure 2 The embodiment of the present invention also provides another neighboring cell measurement triggering method, which is described in detail through specific steps below.

[0055] Step S201: receiving a neighboring cell measurement trigger condition.

[0056] In a specific implementation, the base station may send a neighboring cell measurement trigger condition to the user equipment through a system message or a high-layer signaling. In an embodiment of the present invention, the neighboring cell measurement trigger condition may include a first neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold and a second neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold, and the first neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold and the second neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold satisfy the following relationship: the reference signal quality value corresponding to the first neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold is lower than the reference signal quality value corresponding to the second neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present invention, the high-layer signaling may be a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) signaling.

[0058] In a specific implementation, the first neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold may include a threshold of a reference signal receiving power (ReferenceSignal Receiving Power, RSRP), may also include a reference signal receiving quality (ReferenceSignal Receiving Quality, RSRQ), and may also include both the reference signal receiving power and the reference signal receiving quality.

[0059] Correspondingly, the second neighboring cell measurement triggering threshold may also include only the reference signal received power, or only the reference signal received quality, or both the reference signal received power and the reference signal received quality.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present invention, in order to facilitate comparison, the type of the first neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold and the type of the second neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold may be set to be the same. For example, if the first neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold includes a reference signal reception quality, then the second neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold also includes a reference signal reception quality, and the reference signal reception quality corresponding to the second neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold is greater than the reference signal reception quality corresponding to the first neighboring cell measurement trigger threshold.

[0061] Step S202: When it is detected that the quality of the reference signal corresponding to the current serving cell is lower than the first measurement triggering threshold, a neighboring cell measurement activity is triggered.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present invention, the reference signal quality value corresponding to the current serving cell may be compared with the reference signal quality value corresponding to the first measurement trigger threshold. If the reference signal quality value of the current serving cell is less than the reference signal quality value corresponding to the first measurement trigger threshold, it is determined that the reference signal quality of the current serving cell is lower than the first measurement trigger threshold.

[0063] In a specific implementation, when it is detected that the quality of the reference signal corresponding to the current serving cell is lower than the first measurement triggering threshold, the same-frequency neighboring cell measurement activity may be triggered first.

[0064] In practical applications, the so-called same-frequency measurement means that the measured neighboring cell and the current serving cell belong to the same frequency point, and the different-frequency measurement indicates that the measured neighboring cell and the current serving cell belong to different frequencies.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present invention, during the measurement of the same-frequency neighboring cell, if it is detected that the reference signal quality corresponding to the currently measured same-frequency neighboring cell is lower than the first measurement trigger threshold, the other configured same-frequency neighboring cells can be measured in sequence.

[0066] During the measurement of the same-frequency neighboring cell, if it is detected that the reference signal quality corresponding to the current measured same-frequency neighboring cell is greater than the first measurement trigger threshold within a preset time length, the triggering of the measurement of other same-frequency neighboring cells can be stopped.

[0067] In a specific implementation, the base station may also send a maximum number of co-frequency neighbor cells to be measured N to the user equipment through a system message or a dedicated radio resource control (RRC) configuration signaling. After receiving the configuration from the base station, the user equipment can know the maximum number of co-frequency neighbor cells to be measured.

[0068] For example, the base station configures N=8. After receiving the configuration sent by the base station, the user equipment can learn that the number of the co-frequency neighboring cells to be measured is at most 8.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present invention, during the same-frequency neighbor cell measurement, if the user equipment detects that measurements of 8 same-frequency neighbor cells have been performed, but the reference signal quality corresponding to no same-frequency neighbor cell is greater than the first measurement trigger threshold, then an inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement activity can be triggered.

[0070] In a specific implementation, N≤M, where M is the number of co-frequency neighboring cells pre-configured by the base station.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present invention, during inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement, if it is detected that the reference signal quality corresponding to the inter-frequency neighbor cell currently being measured is lower than the first measurement trigger threshold, other configured inter-frequency neighbor cells may be measured in sequence.

[0072] During the inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement, if it is detected that the reference signal quality corresponding to the inter-frequency neighbor cell currently being measured is higher than the first measurement trigger threshold within a preset time period, the triggering of the measurement of other inter-frequency neighbor cells can be stopped.

[0073] In a specific implementation, the first measurement trigger threshold may include a threshold of a reference signal received power (Reference Signal Receiving Power, RSRP), may also include a reference signal received quality (Reference Signal Receiving Quality, RSRQ), and may also include both the reference signal received power and the reference signal received quality.

[0074] Correspondingly, the second measurement triggering threshold may also include a threshold of a reference signal received power (Reference Signal Receiving Power, RSRP), may also include a reference signal received quality (Reference Signal Receiving Quality, RSRQ), and may also include both the reference signal received power and the reference signal received quality.

[0075] It can be seen from this that the base station sends the first measurement trigger threshold corresponding to the same-frequency neighboring cell and the second measurement trigger threshold corresponding to the different-frequency neighboring cell. The user equipment triggers the neighboring cell measurement activity only when it detects that the reference signal quality corresponding to the current service cell is lower than the first measurement trigger threshold, which can also reduce the measurement activity of the user equipment.

[0076] In a specific implementation, the above steps S101 to S103 and steps S201 to S202 are all descriptions of the neighboring cell measurement triggering method from the user equipment side. It is understandable that the neighboring cell measurement triggering method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can also be described from the base station side, as detailed below.
