Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technology but is not limited to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for processing user assistance information (UAI), a communication device, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] The communication link at the beam level is easily blocked, resulting in poor communication quality or even communication failure. When a downlink beam fails, if the user equipment (UE) has a new candidate beam to replace the current failed beam, there is a chance to avoid the RLF caused by the beam failure. The process of beam failure recovery: 1) Beam Failure Detection (BFD): The detection object is the UE's current service beam (for example, the beams of the primary and secondary cells (SpCell) and the secondary cells (SCell)). The measurement content is the synchronization signal reference signal (SSB-RS) / channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) corresponding to the service beam. The measurement results within the evaluation period (TEvaluate_BFD) are compared with the out-of-sync (Qout_LR) threshold. If all measurement results are lower than the threshold, a beam failure indication (Beam Failure Instance Indication) is triggered. 2) Before the configured beam failure detection timer (beamFailureDetectionTimer) times out, if the number of layer 1 (Layer 1, L1) beam failure indications reaches the configured threshold (beamFailureInstanceMaxCount), the UE declares a beam failure (Beam Failure) and starts candidate beam detection (CBD). 3) Candidate Beam Detection (CandidateBeam Detection, CBD): The detection object is the candidate beam set configured by the network for the UE. The measurement content is the SSB-RS and / or CSI-RS corresponding to the candidate beam. The detection basis is the comparison of the measurement result within the evaluation period (TEvaluate_CBD) with the configured threshold (Qin_LR). The candidate beam with a measurement result higher than the threshold is regarded as an available new beam. The terminal notifies the network of the available new beam found so that the network knows that the new beam can be used for downlink transmission.

[0003] Radio link monitoring (RLM) means that the UE monitors the downlink radio link quality of the primary cell in order to indicate the out-of-sync / in-sync status to the higher layer. The UE only needs to perform radio link quality monitoring in the activated downlink bandwidth part (DL BWP). If the activated DL-BWP is the initial DL-BWP, and for multiplexing mode 2 or multiplexing mode 3 of the SS / PBCH block and control resource set (CORESET), when the relevant SS / PBCH block index is provided by the Radio Link Monitoring Slave Reference Signal (Radio Link Monitoring RS), the UE will use the associated SS / PBCH block to perform RLM.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a wireless communication system provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the wireless communication system is a communication system based on cellular mobile communication technology, and the wireless communication system may include: a plurality of UEs 11 and a plurality of access devices 12 .

[0036] Among them, UE11 can be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to users. UE11 can communicate with one or more core networks via a radio access network (RAN). UE11 can be an Internet of Things UE, such as a sensor device, a mobile phone (or a "cellular" phone), and a computer with an Internet of Things UE. For example, it can be a fixed, portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-built-in, or vehicle-mounted device. For example, a station (STA), a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, an access point, a remote UE (remote terminal), an access terminal, a user terminal, a user agent, a user device, or a user UE (user equipment, UE). Alternatively, UE11 can also be a device of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Alternatively, UE11 can also be a vehicle-mounted device, for example, it can be a driving computer with wireless communication function, or a wireless communication device connected to an external driving computer. Alternatively, UE11 may also be a roadside device, for example, a street lamp, a signal lamp or other roadside device with a wireless communication function.

[0037] The access device 12 may be a network-side device in a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system may be a fourth generation mobile communication technology (4G) system, also known as a long term evolution (LTE) system; or, the wireless communication system may be a 5G system, also known as a new radio (NR) system or a 5G NR system. Alternatively, the wireless communication system may be the next generation system of the 5G system. The access network in the 5G system may be referred to as NG-RAN (New Generation-Radio Access Network). Alternatively, an MTC system.

[0038] Among them, the access device 12 can be an evolved access device (eNB) adopted in a 4G system. Alternatively, the access device 12 can also be an access device (gNB) adopting a centralized distributed architecture in a 5G system. When the access device 12 adopts a centralized distributed architecture, it usually includes a centralized unit (CU) and at least two distributed units (DU).

The specific implementation method of the access device 12 is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a UAI processing method, which is executed by a UE and includes:

[0041] S210: Determine whether to enable a prohibition timer according to the relaxed measurement condition configuration, wherein during the operation of the prohibition timer, the UE is prohibited from sending a UAI indicating whether the relaxed measurement condition is met;

[0042] The relaxed measurement condition configuration indicates: the relaxed measurement conditions of the radio link monitoring RLM and / or the beam failure detection BFD.

[0043] Exemplarily, the relaxed measurement condition configuration is: configuration information of the relaxed measurement condition, which is used to define the relaxed parameters that satisfy the relaxed measurement condition. It should be noted that: the measurement relaxation condition can also be referred to as the measurement relaxation criterion.

[0044] The relaxed measurement condition configuration may include timing information or may not include timing information. If the relaxed measurement condition configuration includes timing information, it means that the relaxed measurement condition configuration has configured a timer. If the relaxed measurement condition configuration does not include timing information, it means that the relaxed measurement condition configuration does not define (configure) a timer.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the S210 may include: determining whether to enable (or use) the prohibit timer according to whether the relaxed measurement condition configuration includes timing information. For example, the relaxed measurement condition configuration includes timing information, and it is determined not to enable (configure) the prohibit timer, and / or the relaxed measurement condition configuration does not include timing information, and it is determined to enable the prohibit timer.

[0046] The prohibit timer is a timer used to prevent the UE from frequently reporting UAI. If the prohibit timer is enabled when the timer has been configured in the relaxed measurement condition configuration, the UE needs to maintain two timers when using UAI to report whether the UAI currently meets the relaxed measurement conditions of RLM and / or BFD, which will increase the UE's overhead. In view of this, in an embodiment of the present application, it is determined whether the prohibit timer needs to be enabled according to the relaxed measurement condition configuration. If the prohibit timer is not enabled, the UE can be controlled to report UAI according to the timer defined in the relaxed measurement condition configuration. On the one hand, the UE can also suppress the UAI from frequently reporting whether the relaxed measurement conditions are met. On the other hand, the UE only needs to maintain one timer for the judgment of whether the relaxed measurement conditions are met and the UAI report, which reduces unnecessary timer maintenance and reduces the power consumption of the UE; and reduces the conflict problem of UAI reporting caused by the conflict of the timing duration of the two timers.

[0047] In one embodiment, the relaxed measurement condition is configured as follows:

[0048] If the cell signal quality is good, relax the measurement condition configuration;

[0049] and / or,

[0050] Low mobility relaxes measurement condition configuration.

[0051] Exemplarily, the relaxed measurement condition is configured as:

[0052] If the cell signal quality is good, relax the measurement condition configuration;

[0053] or,

[0054] Relaxed measurement condition configuration for low mobility and relaxed measurement condition configuration for good cell signal quality;

[0055] That is, in one embodiment, the relaxed measurement condition for RLM and / or BFD may be a separate relaxed measurement condition of good cell signal quality, and the UE may receive a separate relaxed measurement condition configuration of good cell signal quality from the network side or according to the protocol agreement.

[0056] In another embodiment, the relaxed measurement conditions for BFD and / or RLM may be configured with both a low mobility relaxed measurement condition and a good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition.

[0057] Of course, in a specific embodiment, the relaxed measurement conditions for BFD and / or RLM may also be configured with only the low mobility relaxed measurement conditions.

[0058] The cell signal quality is good and the relaxed measurement condition requirements are: if the signal quality of the cell signal measured by the UE is higher than the corresponding threshold value, it means that the UE does not need or has a small probability of needing to perform cell selection, cell switching, cell reselection or beam switching at its current location, and the cell selection, cell switching, cell reselection or beam switching RLM and / or BFD measurements can be appropriately relaxed. The RLM and / or BFD measurements here may at least include: suspending the measurement for a period of time, or reducing the measurement frequency, or reducing the evaluation frequency of whether the signal quality is good enough or the link quality evaluation based on the measured value, etc., thereby reducing the power consumption of the UE by relaxing the measurement. In short, when performing relaxed measurements, RLM relaxed measurements can be performed according to the relaxed measurement configuration of RLM, and / or BFD relaxed measurements can be performed according to the relaxed measurement configuration of BFD. For specific methods of relaxing RLM and / or BFD, please refer to the relevant technology, which will not be described in detail here.

[0059] The low mobility relaxation measurement condition requires that: the fluctuation value of the signal quality of the cell signal measured by the UE is less than the corresponding threshold. If the fluctuation value of the cell signal currently measured by the UE is less than the corresponding threshold, it means that the current displacement of the UE is very small. Similarly, it means that the UE does not need or has a small probability of needing to perform cell selection, cell switching, cell reselection or beam switching. The measurement of RLM and / or BFD for cell selection, cell switching, cell reselection or beam switching can be appropriately relaxed. Exemplarily, the threshold value corresponding to the low mobility relaxation measurement condition is S configured by the network side or agreed upon by the protocol. SearchDeltaP .

[0060] like Figure 3AAs shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a UAI processing method, which is executed by a UE and includes:

[0061] S310A: For RLM or BFD for a single cell, when the cell signal quality is good and the measurement condition configuration is relaxed and has a limit on the decision duration, it is determined not to enable the prohibition timer.

[0062] The RLM measurement is at the cell group granularity. For example, for a master cell group (MCG) or a secondary cell group (SCG), a set of RLM configurations is used to perform RLM of the master cell.

[0063] BFD measurement can be performed on different cells, and different BFD configurations can be used to perform BFD measurement on different cells. It can be performed on the primary cell or the secondary cell. Therefore, BFD is performed on a single cell.

[0064] In the disclosed embodiment, for RLM and BFD of a single cell, the cell signal quality is good and the relaxation measurement condition is configured with a limited decision duration, which is equivalent to a limited decision timer. In order to reduce the maintenance of a timer for the UE and to reduce the UAI reporting frequency conflict caused by the different timing durations of the decision timer and the prohibition timer, the prohibition timer will not be enabled in the disclosed embodiment. Because the cell signal quality is good and the relaxation measurement condition is configured with a limited decision duration, it has played a role in limiting the frequent reporting of the terminal in the decision process.

[0065] When the duration for which the measured signal value of the UE exceeds the first threshold reaches the decision duration, it can be considered that the cell signal quality is good and the measurement condition is relaxed.

[0066] In the case where the RLM and BFD relaxation measurement conditions are configured in the primary cell (Pcell) and / or the primary and secondary cell (Pscell), when the RLM measurement signal value of the UE exceeds the first threshold for a duration that reaches the decision duration, and the BFD measurement signal value of the UE also exceeds the first threshold for a duration that reaches the decision duration, it is considered that the cell signal quality relaxation measurement condition is met. At this time, the good signal quality thresholds of RLM and BFD can be the same or can be configured separately.

[0067] The first threshold may be equal to: a synchronization threshold (Q in ) plus an offset value (Offset).

[0068] Exemplarily, for a multi-connected UE, its serving cells include: a primary cell and a secondary cell. In some cases, the secondary cell may also include: a primary secondary cell and other secondary cells.

[0069] For example, for UEs of Multi-Radio Dual Connectivity (MR-DC) and / or New Radio-Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access (NR-E-UTRA Dual Connectivity, NE-DC), BFD can be performed only on the primary cell. UMTS is the abbreviation of Universal Terrestrial Radio Access, and its corresponding Chinese name is Global Terrestrial Radio Access.

[0070] For another example, a UE for evolved UMTS terrestrial radio access dual connectivity (E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity, NE-DC) can perform BFD only for the primary and secondary cells (Pcell).

[0071] At this time, for the dual-connected UE, the BFD measurement may also be only for the BFD of a single cell.

[0072] For UEs supporting the new radio-evolved UMTS terrestrial radio access (NG-RAN E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity, NGEN-DC), BFD for both the primary cell and the secondary cell may be required at the same time. In this case, it does not belong to the BFD of a single cell.

[0073] As an embodiment, assuming that there is no secondary cell for a certain cell group (MCG or SCG), the BFD measurement may also be only for the BFD of a single cell. For example, for MCG, there is only Pcell; or for SCG, there is only Pscell;

[0074] As an embodiment, assuming that there is a secondary cell, the BFD measurement may not be limited to the BFD of a single cell. For example, for an MCG, there are a Pcell and other secondary cells (scell); or for an SCG, there are a Pscell and other secondary cells (scell). Other secondary cells may be secondary cells other than the primary and secondary cells.

[0075] like Figure 3B As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a UAI processing method, which is executed by a UE and includes:

[0076] S310B: For RLM or BFD for a single cell, when the cell signal quality is good and the measurement condition configuration is relaxed and does not limit the decision duration, it is determined to enable the prohibit timer.

[0077] If the current cell signal quality is good and the relaxed measurement condition configuration does not limit the decision time, which is equivalent to the current cell signal quality is good and the relaxed measurement condition configuration does not configure a decision timer, the prohibition timer is enabled to prevent the UE from reporting UAI too frequently.

[0078] Figure 3A and Figure 3B The UAI processing method shown can be applied to the scenario where the relaxed measurement condition setting is a single relaxed measurement condition configuration of good cell signal quality, or can also be applied to the scenario where the relaxed measurement condition setting is both a relaxed measurement condition configuration of good cell signal quality and a relaxed measurement condition configuration of low mobility. Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a UAI processing method, which is executed by a UE, and the method includes:

[0079] S410: When the cell signal quality is good and the measurement condition configuration is relaxed and a decision time limit is set, the UAI is sent after the decision time limit has expired.

[0080] This embodiment may be implemented in combination with the aforementioned UAI processing method, or may be implemented alone.

[0081] For example, a decision timer is started according to the decision duration. After the decision timer times out, if there is UAI that needs to be reported to the network side, the UAI is sent to the base station. If there is no UAI that needs to be reported to the network side, the UAI is not sent.

[0082] In some embodiments, when the cell signal quality is good and the measurement condition configuration is relaxed and a decision duration is defined, sending the UAI after the decision duration expires includes:

[0083] When the cell signal quality is good and the relaxed measurement condition configuration is limited by a decision duration, the duration for which the measured signal value of the UE exceeds the first threshold reaches the decision duration, and after exceeding the decision duration, the UAI indicating that the relaxed measurement condition is met is sent;

[0084] or,

[0085] When the cell signal quality is good and the relaxed measurement condition configuration is limited by a decision duration, the duration for which the UE's measurement signal value does not exceed the first threshold reaches the decision duration, and after exceeding the decision duration, the UAI is sent to indicate that the relaxed measurement condition is not met.

[0086] In some embodiments, when the cell signal quality is good and the measurement condition configuration is limited by a decision duration, if the UE continuously detects that the signal quality exceeds the first threshold within the decision duration, and the duration of continuous detection of the signal quality exceeding the first threshold is greater than or equal to the decision duration, then after the continuous duration exceeds the decision duration, a UAI requesting measurement relaxation is sent.

[0087] In some embodiments, when the cell signal quality is good and the measurement condition configuration is limited to a decision time length, if the UE detects that the signal quality does not exceed the first threshold or is lower than the first threshold, it sends a UAI requesting measurement relaxation (at this time, the signal quality requirement does not need to be met within the time range). This method allows the terminal to report the signal quality degradation in a timely manner without being limited by the decision time length. That is, the cell signal quality is good and the measurement condition configuration is limited to a decision time length only for one-way and not for two-way.

[0088] The UAI of the desired relaxation measurement may be used to indicate to the base station that the UE desires to perform measurement relaxation.

[0089] The UAI of not desiring relaxation measurement may be used to indicate to the base station that the UE does not desire to perform measurements for relaxation.

[0090] The UAI of the desired relaxation measurement may be used to indicate to the base station that the terminal meets the measurement relaxation requirement to implicitly express its desired relaxation.

[0091] The UAI indicating that relaxation of measurement is not desired may be used to indicate to the base station that the terminal does not meet the measurement relaxation requirement to implicitly express that the UE does not desire to perform measurement for relaxation.

[0092] As an embodiment: UAI may report whether the terminal expects to relax or does not expect to relax;

[0093] As an embodiment: the UAI may report that the terminal meets the measurement relaxation requirement or that the terminal does not meet the measurement relaxation requirement;

[0094] In some embodiments, when the cell signal quality is good and the relaxed measurement condition configuration is limited by a decision duration, the measurement signal value of the UE does not exceed the first threshold within the decision duration, and after exceeding the decision duration, the UAI is sent to indicate that the relaxed measurement condition is not met.

[0095] In one embodiment, the relaxed measurement condition configuration includes: a low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration and a cell signal quality good relaxed measurement condition configuration, the cell signal quality good relaxed measurement condition configuration defines a decision duration, and reuses a duration threshold defined by the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration. That is, in this embodiment, the decision duration is equal to the duration threshold defined by the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration.

[0096] The decision duration specified by the relaxation measurement condition configuration of good cell signal quality is multiplexed with the duration threshold specified by the relaxation measurement condition configuration of low mobility. Therefore, even if the UE executes the judgment of the relaxation measurement condition of good cell signal quality and the relaxation measurement condition of low mobility at the same time, it only needs to maintain one timer.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the decision duration defined by the good cell signal quality relaxation measurement condition configuration is multiplexed with the duration threshold defined by the low mobility relaxation measurement condition configuration, including:

[0098] The cell signal quality is good and the relaxed measurement condition configuration itself has a limit on the decision duration, the decision duration limited by the relaxed measurement condition configuration of the cell signal quality is good is ignored, and the duration threshold limited by the relaxed measurement condition configuration of low mobility is reused;

[0099] or,

[0100] The cell signal quality is good and the relaxed measurement condition configuration limits its own undecided time length, and the time length threshold defined by the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration is reused as the decision time length defined by the cell signal quality is good and the relaxed measurement condition configuration.

[0101] In some other embodiments, the relaxed measurement condition configuration includes: a low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration and a good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration, and the decision duration specified by the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration is multiplexed as a duration threshold specified by the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration.

[0102] For example, in this embodiment, the low mobility relaxation measurement condition is configured with a duration threshold T1, and the good cell signal quality relaxation measurement condition is configured with a limit of decision duration T0. When executing the judgment of the low mobility relaxation measurement condition, T1 can be ignored and T0 can be used to determine whether the current status of the UE meets the mobility relaxation condition.

[0103] When the duration for which the measured signal value of the UE exceeds the first threshold reaches the decision duration, it is determined that the cell signal quality is good and the measurement condition is relaxed;

[0104] When the duration for which the fluctuation value of the signal quality measured by the UE is less than the second threshold reaches the duration threshold, it is determined that the low mobility relaxation measurement condition is met.

[0105] In some embodiments, the S210 includes:

[0106] For the RLM or the BFD for a single cell, when the low mobility relaxation measurement condition configuration defines a duration threshold, it is determined not to enable the prohibit timer.

[0107] Exemplarily, when the duration for which the fluctuation value of the signal quality measured by the UE is less than the second threshold reaches the duration threshold, the low mobility relaxation measurement condition is met.

[0108] Normally, the low mobility relaxation measurement condition configuration must limit the duration threshold. If the relaxation measurement condition configuration for RLM and / or BFD includes: low mobility relaxation measurement condition configuration and cell signal quality good relaxation measurement condition configuration, it can be used to control the reporting of UAI according to the duration threshold defined by the low mobility condition configuration and the decision duration defined by the cell signal quality good relaxation measurement condition configuration, without enabling the prohibition timer. Exemplarily, if the relaxation measurement condition configuration for RLM and / or BFD includes: low mobility relaxation measurement condition configuration and cell signal quality good relaxation measurement condition configuration, the larger of the duration threshold and the decision duration is selected to start a timer for determining whether the relaxation condition is satisfied and / or reporting of UAI, or the smaller of the duration threshold and the decision duration is selected to start a timer for determining whether the relaxation condition is satisfied and / or reporting of UAI; or, specify to select one of the duration threshold and the decision duration to start a timing for determining whether the relaxation condition is satisfied and / or reporting of UAI, without starting the prohibition timer.

[0109] In an embodiment, whether the relaxed measurement condition of good cell signal quality and the relaxed measurement condition of low mobility are satisfied is indicated by the same UAI as to whether the UE satisfies the relaxed measurement condition.

[0110] In order to reduce the number of UAIs reported by the UE, the same UAI can be used to inform the base station whether the UE itself meets the relaxed measurement conditions, whether the cell signal quality is good and whether the relaxed measurement conditions and the low mobility conditions are met.

[0111] The UAI may include a field, which may include one or more bits, indicating whether the UE meets the relaxed measurement conditions.

[0112] At the same time, the UAI may also include: a condition satisfied field, used to indicate that the UE's current status satisfies the relaxed measurement condition.

[0113] Exemplarily, the condition satisfied field may include: two different fields, one field indicating whether the cell signal quality is good and the measurement condition is relaxed, and the other field indicating whether the low mobility and the measurement condition is relaxed.

[0114] As another example, the condition satisfied field may include only one field, and the field may have two bits, and different bit values ​​of the two bits may indicate at least one of the following states:

[0115] At the same time, the cell signal quality is good and the measurement condition is relaxed.

[0116] The cell signal quality is good and the measurement condition is relaxed, but the low mobility and measurement condition is not relaxed;

[0117] The low mobility relaxation measurement condition is met but the good cell signal quality relaxation measurement condition is not met;

[0118] At the same time, the cell signal quality relaxation measurement condition and the low mobility relaxation measurement condition are not met.

[0119] By reporting the condition satisfaction field, even if the UE does not meet the relaxed measurement condition, the base station can instruct a certain UE whether to relax the measurement according to demand.

[0120] In some embodiments, the method comprises:

[0121] When the cell signal quality is good and the measurement condition is relaxed, and the low mobility and measurement condition are relaxed, sending a UAI satisfying the measurement condition to the base station;

[0122] or,

[0123] When at least one of the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition and the low mobility relaxed measurement condition is not met, a UAI that does not meet the relaxed measurement condition is sent to the base station.

[0124] In this way, when the relaxed measurement condition for good cell signal quality and the relaxed measurement condition for low mobility are satisfied at the same time, it means that the measurement can be relaxed, and the measurement power consumption of the UE can be reduced.

[0125] When at least one of the relaxed measurement conditions of good cell signal quality and the relaxed measurement conditions of low mobility is not met, the UAI that does not meet the relaxed measurement conditions is sent. In this way, the phenomenon of cell selection, cell switching, cell reselection or beam switching being unable to be performed due to unnecessary measurement relaxation performed by the UE can be reduced.

[0126] In another embodiment, whether the relaxed measurement condition of good cell signal quality and the relaxed measurement condition of low mobility are satisfied, different UAIs are used to respectively indicate whether the UE satisfies the UAI of the relaxed measurement condition.

[0127] In this way, the UE can use different UAIs respectively, and report whether it satisfies the relaxed measurement conditions according to different relaxed measurement conditions.

[0128] In one embodiment, when the UE obtains both the configuration of the relaxed measurement condition of good cell signal quality and the configuration of the relaxed measurement condition of low mobility, the UE can respectively perform the judgment of the relaxed measurement condition of good cell signal quality and the judgment of the relaxed measurement condition of low mobility according to the two configurations at the same time. In another embodiment, when the UE obtains both the configuration of the relaxed measurement condition of good cell signal quality and the configuration of the relaxed measurement condition of low mobility, the UE can select a single configuration to perform the judgment of the corresponding condition. In this case, the corresponding UAI is used to report whether it meets the relaxed measurement condition.

[0129] In some embodiments, the relaxed measurement condition configuration is the relaxed measurement condition configuration of good cell signal quality, and the same relaxed measurement condition configuration of good cell signal quality is set for the RLM and the BFD.

[0130] For example, the relaxed measurement condition configuration is the relaxed measurement condition configuration of good cell signal quality, and the RLM and the BFD share a set of relaxed measurement condition configuration of good cell signal quality.

[0131] If RLM and BFD are set the same or share a set of cell signal quality relaxation measurement condition configurations, the decision duration is the same, and the first threshold for judging whether the signal quality is good is also the same. In this case, the UE can only receive one set of configurations from the network side, or obtain a set of configurations with cell signal quality relaxation condition configurations according to the network protocol.

[0132] In some other embodiments, the relaxed measurement condition configuration is a relaxed measurement condition configuration of good cell signal quality, and the RLM and the BFD are respectively configured with different relaxed measurement condition configurations of good cell signal quality.

[0133] Since RLM and BFD are two types of measurements, different cell signal quality relaxation condition configurations may be configured respectively.

[0134] Exemplarily, for the two types of relaxed measurement conditions for good cell signal quality configured for RLM and BFD, at least the first thresholds used for judging good cell signal quality are different, and the same decision time is shared, or no decision time is used.

[0135] As another example, for the two types of relaxed measurement conditions for good cell signal quality configured for RLM and BFD, at least the first threshold and decision duration used for judging good cell signal quality are different.

[0136] If RLM and BFD use different cell signal quality relaxation measurement condition configurations, the measurement relaxation of RLM and BFD can be performed in a targeted manner.

[0137] In some embodiments, the relaxed measurement condition configuration is the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration and the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration, the same low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration is set for the RLM and the BFD, and different good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configurations are configured respectively; for example, the relaxed measurement condition configuration is the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration and the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration, the RLM and the BFD share a set of the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configurations, and different good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configurations are configured respectively;

[0138] or,

[0139] The relaxed measurement condition configuration is the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration and the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration, the same low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration is set for the RLM and the BFD, and a set of the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration is shared. That is, the relaxed measurement condition configuration is the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration and the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration, the RLM and the BFD share a set of the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration, and a set of the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration is shared.

[0140] If the network side or the protocol stipulates that the measurement relaxation for RLM and BFD requires the use of both the cell signal quality relaxation measurement condition and the low mobility relaxation measurement condition, since the low mobility relaxation measurement condition is executed based on the relative value of the signal quality fluctuation value, a set of low mobility configurations can be shared, thereby reducing the number of configuration sets. The configuration for the cell signal quality relaxation measurement condition can be shared or not, depending on the specific network conditions and / or UE requirements.

[0141] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0142] When the relaxed measurement condition configuration is the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration and the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration, the UAI reporting whether the UE meets the relaxed measurement condition is determined according to a combined decision switch.

[0143] Since there are two relaxation condition configurations, which relaxation condition is used to determine whether the UAI satisfies the relaxed measurement conditions?

[0144] By setting the combined decision switch, the UE can be triggered to send UAI indicating whether the relaxed measurement conditions are met by using different combinations of relaxed measurement conditions according to the combined decision switch without receiving the relaxed measurement condition configuration again.

[0145] In one embodiment, the determining, according to the combined decision switch, whether the UAI reporting the UE satisfies the relaxed measurement condition includes at least one of the following:

[0146] When the combined decision switch is at the first value, and it is determined that the low mobility relaxed measurement condition and the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition are simultaneously met, sending the UAI that meets the relaxed measurement condition;

[0147] When the combined decision switch is at the first value and it is determined that at least one of the low mobility relaxed measurement condition and the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition is not satisfied, sending the UAI that does not satisfy the relaxed measurement condition;

[0148] When the combined decision switch is at the second value and it is determined that the cell signal quality is good and the relaxed measurement condition is met, sending the UAI that meets the relaxed measurement condition;

[0149] When the combined decision switch is at the second value, and at least one of the low mobility relaxed measurement condition and the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition is met, the UAI that meets the relaxed measurement condition is sent.

[0150] In one embodiment, the method may further include:

[0151] When the combined decision switch is at the second value, and one or more of the low mobility relaxed measurement condition and the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition is not met, a UAI that does not meet the relaxed measurement condition is sent.

[0152] In some other embodiments, when the UE determines that it does not expect to relax the measurement, the UE may not send the UAI, thereby further reducing the number of times the UE sends the UAI and further reducing the power consumption generated by the UE sending the UAI. In this case, when the base station does not receive the UAI sent by the UE indicating whether it expects to relax the measurement, it is assumed that the UE does not meet the relaxation measurement condition.

[0153] In some embodiments, the combined decision switch is determined according to a protocol agreement;

[0154] or,

[0155] The combination decision switch is determined according to the network configuration.

[0156] If agreed upon by the protocol, the UE may obtain the combined decision switch by querying the protocol. For example, the protocol may set different combined decision switches for different types of UEs.

[0157] In some embodiments, the combined decision switch may be configured by the network side, for example, the base station configures it through RRC signaling or MAC CE. In some embodiments, the network configuration may also be the relaxation of the measurement condition configuration itself.

[0158] like Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a UAI processing method, wherein the method is performed by a user equipment UE, and the method includes: the method also includes:

[0159] S510: For the BFD of multiple cells, determine to enable the prohibit timer.

[0160] In this case, regardless of whether the relaxed measurement condition configuration itself has a configuration timer, the multi-cell BFD will enable the prohibit timer to limit the UE from frequently reporting UAI. Because although the relaxed measurement condition configuration itself has a configuration timer to prevent the terminal from frequently reporting, a prohibit timer is still needed to prevent frequent reporting caused by changes in the list of carriers that meet the requirements in the carrier aggregation scenario;

[0161] Furthermore: For BFD, regardless of whether the relaxed measurement condition configuration itself has a timer, for multi-cell or single-cell BFD scenarios, the prohibit timer will be enabled to limit the UE from frequently reporting UAI. This is a unified treatment, that is, for BFD, the prohibit timer will be enabled to limit the UE from frequently reporting UAI.

[0162] Exemplarily, for a certain cell group (MCG or SCG), for a carrier-aggregated UE, its serving cells include: a primary cell and a secondary cell.

[0163] For example, for UEs of Multi-Radio Dual Connectivity (MR-DC) and / or New Radio-Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access (NR-E-UTRA Dual Connectivity, NE-DC), BFD can be performed only on the primary cell. UMTS is the abbreviation of Universal Terrestrial Radio Access, and its corresponding Chinese name is Global Terrestrial Radio Access.

[0164] For another example, a UE for evolved UMTS terrestrial radio access dual connectivity (E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity, NE-DC) can perform BFD only for the primary and secondary cells (Pcell).

[0165] In the scenario where carrier aggregation exists in a certain cell group (MCG or SCG), BFD of the primary cell and the secondary cell may be required at the same time. In this case, it is not BFD of a single cell, but BFD of multiple cells. At this time, the prohibition timer is enabled to limit the frequent reporting of UAI when the relaxation measurement conditions of BFD of multiple cells are met respectively.

[0166] As an embodiment, assuming that there is no secondary cell for a certain cell group (MCG or SCG), the BFD measurement may also be only for the BFD of a single cell. For example, for MCG, there is only Pcell; or for SCG, there is only Pscell;

[0167] As an embodiment, assuming that there are secondary cells, the BFD measurement cannot be limited to the BFD of a single cell, that is, the BFD of multiple cells. For example, for MCG, there are Pcell and other scells; or for SCG, there are Pscell and other scells;

[0168] The method further includes: for the BFD of multiple cells, allowing the reporting of the UAI when the prohibit timer times out, and / or not allowing the reporting of the UAI when the prohibit timer is running (ie, not timed out).

[0169] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to achieve one-time reporting, so that the base station side can know whether the measurement of all service cells of the UE meets the relaxed measurement conditions, or whether the UE expects to relax the measurement or does not expect to relax the measurement for each cell, a cell list can be carried in the UAI, and the cell list includes one or more cell identifiers, which can indicate whether the UE meets the relaxed measurement conditions in the corresponding service cell.

[0170] The cell identifier may include: a cell number such as a physical cell identifier, and may also be an exclusive number assigned by the UE to its own service cell. For example, the UE has three service cells, and each of these three cells has its own physical cell identifier (PCI). At this time, the cell identifier in the cell list may be the PCI. However, in order to reduce bit overhead, the UE and the base station side may number the cells according to the functions of their own service cells. For example, the primary cell corresponding to the master node (MN) is cell 1, the primary and secondary cells of the secondary node (MN) are cell 2, and the other cells are cell 3, etc., in order of function. In this way, compared with carrying relatively long identification information such as PCI, the bit overhead of UAI can be reduced.

[0171] In some embodiments, a cell list corresponds to a bitmap, a bit in the bitmap corresponds to a cell, and the cell corresponding to each bit in the bitmap can be configured by the network side. Two bit values ​​of a bit in a bitmap can respectively indicate two relaxation requirements of the UE's desired relaxation measurement and undesired relaxation measurement.

[0172] In some embodiments, the BFD for multiple cells, sending the UAI carrying the cell list according to the satisfied relaxed measurement condition, includes:

[0173] For the BFD of multiple cells, create the cell list;

[0174] When the prohibition timer times out, the UAI is sent according to the cell list.

[0175] Exemplarily, when the prohibition timer times out, sending the UAI according to the cell list includes:

[0176] When the prohibition timer times out, sending the UAI carrying the cell list;

[0177] or,

[0178] When the prohibition timer times out, a UAI carrying a bitmap having a corresponding relationship with each serving cell of the UE is sent according to the cell list.

[0179] When entering multi-cell BFD, a cell list is created; then when the prohibition timer times out, a UAI carrying the cell list is sent. In this way, the network side can know whether the UE expects to relax the measurement requirements for all its serving cells by receiving the UAI once.

[0180] In some embodiments, the creating a cell list may be understood as: maintaining a cell list.

[0181] In some embodiments, the BFD for multiple cells, creating the cell list, includes:

[0182] When the primary cell of the UE satisfies the relaxed measurement condition, creating the cell list including the cell identifier of the primary cell;

[0183] When the secondary cell of the UE meets the relaxed measurement condition, adding the cell identifier of the secondary cell that meets the relaxed measurement condition to the cell list;

[0184] When the secondary cell whose cell identifier is in the cell list does not satisfy the relaxed measurement condition, the cell identifier of the secondary cell that does not satisfy the relaxed measurement condition is deleted from the cell list.

[0185] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0186] When the primary cell of the UE does not meet the relaxed measurement condition, clear or delete the cell list;

[0187] When the cell list is empty or the cell list is deleted, a UAI indicating that relaxation of measurement is not desired is sent.

[0188] In some embodiments, when the primary cell does not meet the relaxed measurement conditions, the created cell list may be deleted or cleared; if the cell list is deleted or cleared, the UE may also send a UAI that does not meet the relaxed measurement conditions to the network side.

[0189] In some embodiments, when neither the primary cell of the MN nor the primary and secondary cells of the SN meet the relaxed measurement conditions, the created cell list is deleted or cleared; and / or when the primary cell of the MN and one of the primary and secondary cells of the SN still meet the relaxed measurement conditions, the cell list can continue to be maintained, that is, the cell list is not deleted or the cell list is cleared.

[0190] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0191] When the cell identifiers in the cell list are updated, the UAI carrying the updated cell list is sent when the prohibition timer times out; wherein the cell identifiers in the cell list are updated including: the cell identifiers of the cell list are added and / or deleted.

[0192] The cell ID in the cell list is updated including but not limited to at least one of the following:

[0193] A new cell ID is added to the cell list;

[0194] The old cell IDs in the cell list are deleted.

[0195] like Figure 6 The present disclosure provides a UAI processing method, which is performed by a base station. The method includes:

[0196] S610: receiving a UAI indicating whether the UE satisfies a relaxed measurement condition, wherein the UAI is reported by the UE according to timing information defined by the relaxed measurement condition configuration, or reported according to a prohibition timer when the relaxed measurement condition configuration does not define timing information;

[0197] The relaxed measurement condition configuration indicates: the relaxed measurement conditions of the radio link monitoring RLM and / or the beam failure detection BFD.

[0198] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the UAI sent by the UE and received by the base station to indicate whether the UE satisfies the relaxed measurement condition may be reported according to a timer specified in the relaxed measurement condition configuration when the relaxed measurement condition value has limited timing information (i.e., a timer is configured), or, when the relaxed measurement condition configuration does not specify timing information, may be reported according to a prohibition timer specifically configured to prevent frequent reporting of UAI.

[0199] In some embodiments, the relaxed measurement condition is configured as:

[0200] If the cell signal quality is good, relax the measurement condition configuration;

[0201] and / or,

[0202] Low mobility relaxes measurement condition configuration.

[0203] Exemplarily, the relaxed measurement condition is configured as:

[0204] If the cell signal quality is good, relax the measurement condition configuration;

[0205] or,

[0206] Relaxed measurement condition configuration for low mobility and relaxed measurement condition configuration for good cell signal quality;

[0207] The good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration is at least used to determine the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition; the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration is at least used to determine the low mobility relaxed measurement condition.

[0208] That is, in one embodiment, the relaxed measurement condition for RLM and / or BFD may be a separate cell signal quality good measurement good relaxation condition, and the UE will receive a separate cell signal quality good relaxation condition configuration from the network side or according to the protocol agreement.

[0209] In another embodiment, the relaxed measurement conditions for BFD and / or RLM may be configured with both a low mobility relaxed measurement condition and a good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition.

[0210] Of course, in a specific embodiment, the relaxed measurement conditions for BFD and / or RLM may also be configured with only the low mobility relaxed measurement conditions.

[0211] The cell signal quality is good and the relaxed measurement condition requirements are: if the signal quality of the cell signal measured by the UE is higher than the corresponding threshold value, it means that the UE does not need to perform cell selection, cell switching, cell reselection or beam switching at the current location or the probability is small, and the cell selection, cell switching, cell reselection or beam switching RLM and / or BFD measurements can be appropriately relaxed. The RLM and / or BFD measurements here may at least include: suspending the measurement for a period of time, or reducing the measurement frequency, or reducing the evaluation frequency of whether the signal quality is good enough or the link quality evaluation based on the measured value, etc., thereby reducing the power consumption of the UE by relaxing the measurement. In short, when performing relaxed measurements, the RLM measurement can be relaxed according to the RLM relaxation configuration, and / or the BFD measurement can be relaxed according to the BFD relaxation measurement configuration. For specific methods of relaxing RLM and / or BFD, please refer to the relevant technology, which will not be described in detail here.

[0212] The low mobility relaxation measurement condition requires that: the fluctuation value of the signal quality of the cell signal measured by the UE is less than the corresponding threshold. If the fluctuation value of the cell signal currently measured by the UE is less than the corresponding threshold, it means that the current displacement of the UE is very small. Similarly, it means that the probability of the UE currently performing cell selection, cell switching, cell reselection or beam switching is small, and the measurement of RLM and / or BFD for cell selection, cell switching, cell reselection or beam switching can be appropriately relaxed. Exemplarily, the threshold value corresponding to the low mobility relaxation measurement condition is S configured by the network side or agreed upon by the protocol. SearchDeltaP .

[0213] In one embodiment, the cell signal quality is good and the relaxation measurement condition configuration is limited to a decision time length, and for the RLM or the BFD of a single cell, the UAI is reported when the decision time length exceeds;

[0214] or,

[0215] The configuration of the relaxed measurement condition for good cell signal quality does not limit the decision duration. For the RLM or BFD of a single cell, the UAI is reported when the prohibition timer times out.

[0216] The application scenario of this embodiment may be that the UE is configured with a good cell signal quality relaxation measurement condition configuration alone. Of course, in some cases, this embodiment may also be applied to a scenario where the UE is configured with a good cell signal quality relaxation measurement condition configuration and a low mobility relaxation measurement condition configuration at the same time.

[0217] In some embodiments, the relaxed measurement condition configuration includes: a low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration and a good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration, the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration defines a decision duration, and reuses a duration threshold defined by the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration.

[0218] If the cell signal quality is good and the relaxed measurement condition configuration does not limit the decision time or limits the decision time, the low mobility model relaxation condition configuration limited time threshold can be reused, so that the two relaxation conditions use the same timer to realize the judgment of whether the corresponding relaxation conditions are met and the reporting of UAI.

[0219] In some embodiments, the low mobility relaxation measurement condition configuration is limited to a duration threshold, and for the RLM or the BFD of a single cell, the UAI is reported when the duration threshold is reached;

[0220] or,

[0221] The low mobility relaxation measurement condition configuration does not limit the decision duration, and for the RLM or the BFD of a single cell, the UAI is reported when the prohibition timer times out.

[0222] In some embodiments, for multi-cell BFD, the UAI is reported in the prohibit timer.

[0223] For multi-cell BFD, regardless of whether the relaxed measurement condition configuration has limited timing information, UAI is reported based on the prohibit timer.

[0224] In some embodiments, for BFD of multiple cells, the UAI includes a cell list; the cell identifiers included in the cell list are: cells that meet the relaxed measurement condition, or cells that do not meet the relaxed measurement condition.

[0225] If the cell identifier in the cell list indicates a cell that meets the relaxed measurement condition, it is assumed that the serving cell indicated by the cell identifier not included in the cell list does not meet the relaxed measurement condition.

[0226] If the cell identifier in the cell list indicates a cell that does not satisfy the relaxed measurement condition, the UE assumes that the serving cell indicated by the cell identifier not included in the cell list satisfies the relaxed measurement condition.

[0227] In some embodiments, the UAI includes two cell lists at the same time, one cell list indicates cells that meet the relaxed measurement conditions, and the other cell list indicates cells that do not meet the relaxed measurement conditions. In this way, when receiving such UAI, the base station does not need to determine the current serving cell list of the UE, and can know which cells the UE expects to relax measurement and which cells it expects not to relax measurement based on the cell list included in the current UAI.

[0228] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0229] The relaxed measurement condition configuration is a low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration and a good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration, and a network configuration including a combined decision switch is sent;

[0230] The UAI indicating that the UE satisfies the relaxed measurement condition is: sent by the UE when the combined decision switch is the first value and the low mobility relaxed measurement condition and the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition are simultaneously satisfied;

[0231] or,

[0232] The UAI indicating that the UE does not meet the relaxed measurement condition is: sent by the UE when the combined decision switch is the first value and at least one of the low mobility relaxed measurement condition and the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition is not met;

[0233] or,

[0234] The UAI indicating that the UE satisfies the relaxed measurement condition is: sent by the UE when the combined decision switch is the second value and the relaxed measurement condition of the cell signal quality is good is satisfied;

[0235] or,

[0236] The UAI indicating that the UE satisfies the relaxed measurement condition is: sent by the UE when the combined decision switch is the second value and satisfies at least one of the relaxed measurement condition of good cell signal quality and the relaxed measurement condition of low mobility.

[0237] In some embodiments, the relaxed measurement condition configuration is the relaxed measurement condition configuration of good cell signal quality, and the same relaxed measurement condition configuration of good cell signal quality is set for the RLM and the BFD; in some embodiments, the relaxed measurement condition configuration is the relaxed measurement condition configuration of good cell signal quality, and the RLM and the BFD share a set of relaxed measurement condition configurations of good cell signal quality;

[0238] or,

[0239] The relaxed measurement condition configuration is a relaxed measurement condition configuration of good cell signal quality, and the RLM and the BFD are configured with different relaxed measurement condition configurations of good cell signal quality, respectively.

[0240] In some embodiments, the relaxed measurement condition configuration may be a relaxed measurement condition configuration of good cell signal quality, and the RLM and the BFD are configured with different relaxed measurement condition configurations of good cell signal quality, respectively.

[0241] In some embodiments, the relaxed measurement condition configuration is the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration and the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration, the RLM and the BFD share a set of the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration, and are respectively configured with different good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configurations; that is, the relaxed measurement condition configuration is the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration and the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration, the RLM and the BFD set the same low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration, and are respectively configured with different good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configurations; or,

[0242] The relaxed measurement condition configuration includes the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration and the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration. The RLM and the BFD share a set of the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration and a set of the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration. For example, the relaxed measurement condition configuration includes the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration and the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration. The RLM and the BFD set the same low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration and set the same good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration.

[0243] If the relaxed measurement condition configuration is: low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration and good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration, RLM and BFD at least share one set or set the same low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration, which can at least reduce the signaling overhead between the UE and the network side.

[0244] In some embodiments, the relaxed measurement condition configuration is the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration and the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration;

[0245] The UAI simultaneously indicates that the low mobility relaxed measurement condition and the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition are satisfied.

[0246] or,

[0247] Indicating that the UAI satisfying the low mobility relaxed measurement condition and the cell signal quality good relaxed measurement condition are different.

[0248] When the relaxed measurement condition configuration is the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration and the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration, one UAI can be sent to indicate that both the low mobility relaxed measurement condition and the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition are satisfied, or the UAIs for the low mobility relaxed measurement condition and the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition can be sent separately through different UAIs.

[0249] A method for a terminal to report UAI, where the UAI is used by the terminal to assist a base station in performing RLM measurement relaxation and / or BFD relaxation.

[0250] The network configures RLM / BFD measurement relaxation UAI reporting through RRC messages, and the terminal needs to determine the parameters of the relaxed measurement conditions configured according to the relaxed measurement conditions.

[0251] In one embodiment, only the cell signal quality is good and the measurement condition configuration is relaxed for the UE. In this case, the parameters defined by the cell signal quality is good and the measurement condition configuration are relaxed, including but not limited to at least one of the following:

[0252] Offset value;

[0253] Metric: The L1-SINR of the reference signal is higher than the Q in +offset; L1-SINR is the signal-to-noise ratio of layer 1.

[0254] Q in Can be a synchronization threshold;

[0255] Judgment time (T).

[0256] In another manner, the UE is configured with both the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration and the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration. At this time, the parameters defined by the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration may include at least one of the following:

[0257] Duration threshold (TSearchDeltaP) cell signal quality fluctuation value threshold (SSearchDeltaP).

[0258] The parameters defined in the configuration of the relaxed measurement condition for good cell signal quality may include at least one of the following:

[0259] Offset

[0260] Metric: The L1-SINR of the reference signal is higher than the Q in +offset

[0261] Judgment time (T)

[0262] The L1-SINR of the reference signal may or may not be filtered through layer 3;

[0263] If only the cell signal quality is good and the relaxation parameters are configured: If the judgment time T of good signal quality is configured, UAI reporting does not need to be configured or the Prohibit timer is not enabled.

[0264] As an example:

[0265] If the terminal meets the entry condition within T, that is, the reference signal measurement value is higher than Q in +offset is always satisfied within T time, then the UAI for which RLM relaxation measurement is desired or the UAI for which the relaxation measurement conditions are satisfied is reported.

[0266] If the terminal satisfies the relaxation measurement condition within T, that is, the reference signal measurement value is not higher than Q in +offset or below the threshold is met within T time, then report the UAI for which RLM measurement relaxation is not desired or the UAI for which the relaxation measurement conditions are not met.

[0267] Or T is only used for one-way reporting:

[0268] As an example: if the terminal meets the entry condition within T, that is, the reference signal measurement value is higher than Q in +offset is always satisfied within T time, then the UAI for which RLM relaxation measurement is desired or the UAI for which the relaxation measurement conditions are satisfied is reported.

[0269] If the terminal reference signal measurement value is not higher than Q in +offset or below the threshold, the UAI for which RLM relaxation measurement is not desired or the UAI for which the relaxation measurement conditions are not met is reported. In this way, when the signal quality degrades, it can be reported in time without being restricted by the UAI.

[0270] If the signal quality judgment time T is not configured, UAI reporting needs to be configured or a prohibit timer needs to be enabled. There are two implementation methods for the prohibit timer to limit UAI reporting:

[0271] As an embodiment, if the terminal satisfies the reference signal threshold and is higher than Q within the time in +offset, then report the UAI that wants to perform RLM relaxation measurement; it needs to be reported when the prohibition timer is not started, but there is no need to enable the prohibition timer;

[0272] If the reference signal threshold is not higher than Q within this time in +offset, the report is not restricted by the prohibit timer, but after reporting, the prohibit timer needs to be enabled.

[0273] As an example,

[0274] If the terminal meets the reference signal threshold and is higher than Q within this time in +offset, then report the UAI that wants to perform RLM relaxation measurement; it needs to be reported when the prohibition timer is not started, and the prohibition timer is enabled;

[0275] If the reference signal threshold is not higher than Q within this time in +offset, it is necessary to report when the prohibit timer is not started and enable the prohibit timer.

[0276] If the relaxed measurement condition for the UE is: low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration, then the UAI reporting does not need to configure a prohibit timer (Prohibit timer), because at this time the low mobility duration threshold (TSearchDeltaP) has been activated to enable the terminal to frequently report auxiliary information.

[0277] If the relaxed measurement conditions for the UE are: low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration and good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition configuration, then the decision duration T of the good cell signal quality relaxed measurement condition can reuse TSearchDeltaP of low mobility.

[0278] Furthermore: if the terminal adopts the same UAI report for the low mobility relaxation measurement condition and the cell signal quality good relaxation measurement condition (two criteria), then the UAI report does not need to configure a prohibit timer (Prohibit timer). Furthermore, at this time, the UAI reporting condition needs to satisfy both the low mobility relaxation measurement condition and the cell signal quality good relaxation measurement condition.

[0279] As an example,

[0280] If the terminal meets the entry condition of the good signal quality criterion within the TSearchDeltaP time and the signal fluctuation is lower than the threshold SSearchDeltaP, the UAI that wishes to perform RLM relaxation measurement is reported.

[0281] If the terminal meets at least one of the exit conditions of the configuration criteria within the TSearchDeltaP time, such as the signal quality fluctuation is not lower than the threshold (SSearchDeltaP), and / or the reference signal threshold is not higher than Q within the time, in +offset, then report the UAI for which RLM relaxation measurement is not desired.

[0282] Furthermore: if the terminal adopts different UAI message reporting for the two criteria, then the UAI reporting configured with the low mobility relaxed measurement condition does not need to be configured with a prohibit timer.

[0283] As an example:

[0284] The network configures the decision parameters required for UAI reporting corresponding to the BFD relaxation measurement conditions through RRC messages.

[0285] If the relaxed condition configuration for RLM has been configured, BFD can reuse some parameters of the relaxed condition configuration for RLM, such as the parameters of the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration; at this time, only the parameters of the relaxed measurement condition configuration for good cell signal quality need to be sent down; or all the parameters of the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration and the relaxed measurement condition configuration for good cell signal quality are used.

[0286] If BFD measurement relaxation parameters have been configured, RLM reuses some of its parameters, such as the low mobility relaxation measurement condition configuration parameters; in this case, only the good signal quality parameters need to be sent down; or all parameters are used.

[0287] When the terminal is configured to perform BFD measurement and relax UAI reporting, the reporting method will be reported in the form of a cell list (celllist). If there is a change in the cell (cell) in the cell list (celllist), it triggers the re-reporting of UAI.

[0288] Exemplarily, a decision is first made on the primary cell (Pcell) of the MN node or the primary and secondary cell (Pscell) of the SN node to see whether the relaxed measurement conditions of BFD are met. If so, a reporting cell list (celllist) is created and the primary cell is placed in the cell list (celllist).

[0289] Then judge the secondary cells one by one to see whether they meet the relaxed measurement conditions of BFD, and if they meet the relaxed measurement conditions of good cell signal quality, put the secondary cells into the cell list (celllist), and report the cell list (celllist) through UAI. If a new cell is added to the cell list (celllist) later, the cell list (celllist) needs to be reported through UAI.

[0290] If the cell signal quality relaxation condition in the BFD relaxation measurement condition is not met, the secondary cell is removed from the cell list (celllist); then the cell list (celllist) with one cell ID reduced needs to be reported through UAI.

[0291] If the primary cell does not meet the requirements, the entire cell list (celllist) is set to empty.

[0292] In some embodiments, the cell identifiers in the cell list may not distinguish between primary cells and secondary cells, that is, all cell identifiers that meet the relaxed measurement conditions are placed in the cell list, and the cell list will be cleared or deleted only when all cell identifiers of the UE do not meet the relaxed measurement conditions; and / or as long as the UE has a serving cell that meets the relaxed measurement conditions, a cell list is created and the corresponding cell identifier is added to the cell list.

[0293] Furthermore: when configuring the terminal to perform BFD measurement and relax UAI reporting, the prohibit timer must be configured. The purpose is that after a group of cells meet the conditions, if a new cell meets the conditions for reporting, it is necessary to wait until the prohibit timer times out.

[0294] Furthermore: if there is only a primary cell (Pcell or Pscell) for a certain cell group (MCG or SCG), when configuring the terminal to perform BFD measurement relaxation UAI reporting, the prohibit timer (prohibittimer) may not be configured, because at this time there is only one cell for a single cell group to perform BFD measurement relaxation decision, so there is not much need for the prohibit timer.

[0295] Furthermore: the above scenarios can be processed uniformly, that is, for a certain cell group (MCG or SCG), regardless of whether there is carrier aggregation configuration, a prohibit timer can be enabled for BFD.

[0296] The prohibit timer can be used in two directions: that is, the reporting of cells that meet or do not meet the requirements needs to be restricted by the prohibit timer;

[0297] The prohibit timer can also be used in only one direction, that is, after a cell meets the relaxed measurement conditions and completes a UAI report, the prohibit timer is started. If a new cell meets the relaxed measurement conditions, it is necessary to wait for the prohibit timer to time out. If the original cell no longer meets the relaxed measurement conditions (or meets the exit relaxed measurement conditions), it is not necessary to be restricted by the prohibit timer, that is, even if the prohibit timer has not timed out, the UAI containing the cell list can still be reported. For RLM / BFD measurement relaxation, if the low mobility relaxation measurement conditions and the cell signal quality relaxation measurement conditions are both configured accordingly, the conditional judgment of UAI is based on the instructions sent by the network or the protocol agreement, whether to use one condition or a combination of two conditions for judgment.

[0298] Assume that the network is configured with a combined decision switch, assuming that = 1; then both configuration criteria need to be met at the same time before reporting the desire to perform measurement relaxation.

[0299] Assume that the network is not configured with a combined decision switch, or = 0; if the cell signal quality is good and the relaxation measurement condition is met, the terminal can report that it wishes to relax the measurement.

[0300] For RLM, if the network can send down a UAI reporting configuration (optional) for a low mobility relaxation measurement condition configuration and a good cell signal quality relaxation condition configuration; the terminal reports a UAI indicating whether the low mobility relaxation measurement condition is met and a UAI indicating whether the cell signal quality relaxation measurement condition is met. Among them, the low mobility relaxation measurement condition configuration is an optional configuration, but the cell signal quality relaxation measurement condition configuration is a mandatory configuration. Similarly, reporting whether the low mobility relaxation measurement condition is met is optional, while the UAI for the good cell signal quality relaxation measurement condition is mandatory.

[0301] For BFD, if the network can send down a low mobility relaxation measurement condition configuration and a cell signal quality good relaxation measurement condition configuration; the terminal reports a UAI indicating whether the low mobility relaxation measurement condition is met and a UAI for the cell signal quality good relaxation measurement condition. Among them, the low mobility relaxation measurement condition configuration is an optional configuration, but the cell signal quality good relaxation measurement condition configuration is a mandatory configuration. Similarly, reporting whether the low mobility relaxation measurement condition is met is optional, while the UAI for the cell signal quality good relaxation measurement condition is mandatory.

[0302] For BFD and RLM, if the network can send down a UAI with low mobility relaxation measurement condition configuration and a cell signal quality good relaxation measurement condition configuration (offset1) for BFD and a cell signal quality good relaxation measurement condition (offset2) for RLM. The two offsets can also share one. The terminal reports a UAI to determine whether the low mobility relaxation measurement condition configuration is met. The terminal can also report a cell signal quality good relaxation measurement condition UAI for RLM and a set of cell signal quality good relaxation measurement conditions UAI for BFD. For RLM, only the UAI of whether the primary cell meets the cell signal quality good relaxation measurement condition can be reported. For BFD, a UAI containing a cell list can be reported. The cell identifiers in the cell list can be used to indicate whether the primary cell and / or the secondary cell meet the cell signal quality good relaxation measurement condition.

[0303] Furthermore: for the case where relaxed measurement conditions (or measurement relaxation criteria) for RLM and BFD are configured in the primary cell (Pcell) and / or the primary and secondary cell (Pscell), when the RLM measurement signal value of the UE exceeds the first threshold for a duration that reaches the decision duration, and the BFD measurement signal value of the UE also exceeds the first threshold for a duration that reaches the decision duration, it is considered that the relaxed measurement conditions for good cell signal quality are met. For non-carrier aggregation scenarios, the satisfaction of RLM and BFD relaxation measurement conditions can be reported with the same UAI: if both the RLM measurement signal value and the BFD measurement signal value meet the requirements, that is, the combined judgment, that is, all configured RLM measurement reference signals and BFD measurement reference signals meet the threshold requirements, then the report indicates that the RLM and BFD relaxation are desired; otherwise, if one of the measurement signals does not meet the requirements, such as the RLM (or BFD) measurement signal does not meet the requirements or one of the measurement reference symbols of all configured RLM measurement reference signals and BFD measurement reference signals does not meet the threshold requirements, then the report indicates that the RLM and BFD relaxation is not desired; for carrier aggregation scenarios: the primary cell can be subjected to a combined judgment for non-carrier aggregation scenarios and then considered whether to be included in the list of cells that meet the conditions, that is, a combined judgment for RLM and BFD relaxation is required; and for the secondary cell, a per cell judgment is still required to be considered before considering whether to be included in the list of cells that meet the conditions, and at this time, the secondary cell only performs a BFD relaxation judgment;

[0304] The UAI configuration of the low mobility relaxed measurement condition configuration is for MR-DC and NE-DC only based on the RSRP measurement result of Pcell; for EN-DC, the RSRP measurement result of Pscell is used for judgment.

[0305] If the cell signal quality is good, the measurement condition configuration is relaxed. If used for RLM, for MR-DC, NE-DC only makes decisions based on the Layer1-RSRP measurement result of Pcell; for EN-DC, the decision is made based on the Layer1-RSRP measurement result of Pscell.

[0306] If the cell signal quality is good, the measurement condition configuration is relaxed. If used for BFD, MR-DC performs Layer1-RSRP measurement on the primary and secondary cells of MN or SN, and NE-DC performs per-cell Layer1-RSRP measurement result judgment on the primary and secondary cells of MN; for EN-DC, per-cell Layer1-RSRP measurement result judgment is performed on the primary and secondary cells of SN.
