Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a communication method, apparatus, device, and medium in a deactivated state of a secondary cell group. Background Art

[0002] In some communication network architectures, the network side includes a master node (Master Node, Main Node, or Primary Node, MN or PN) and a secondary node (Secondary Node, SN). The cell group on the MN side is the master cell group (Master Cell Group, Main Cell Group, or Primary Cell Group, MCG or PCG), which includes a primary cell (Primary Cell, PCell) and zero to multiple secondary cells (Secondary Cell, SCell). The cell group on the SN side is the secondary cell group (Secondary Cell Group, SCG), which includes a primary cell (Primary SCG Cell, PSCell) and zero to multiple secondary cells.

[0003] In a dual connectivity (DC) scenario, the MN and the SN can simultaneously perform data interaction with a terminal in the connected state. Considering energy saving and quickly activating the SCG for data transmission, when the amount of data transmitted between the terminal and the network device is small or there is no data transmission, the SCG can be configured to the deactivated state. Among them, the deactivated state of the SCG is also equivalent to the dormant state of the SCG, the suspend state of the SCG, the deactivated state of the PSCell, the dormant state of the PSCell, or the suspend state of the PSCell.

[0140] The following explains some terms in this application to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art:

[0141] Dual Connectivity (DC) architecture: A network architecture. In the DC architecture, a terminal in the connected state maintains connections and communications with two different access network devices simultaneously, and can utilize the radio resources of the two different access network devices. One of the two different access network devices is the master node (Master Node, Main Node, or Primary Node, MN or PN), and the other is the secondary node (Secondary Node, SN). The MN and SN are connected to the same core network device. Compared with the SN, the MN can provide the signaling control function for the terminal to access the network. The cell group on the MN side is the master cell group (Master Cell Group, Main Cell Group, or Primary Cell Group, MCG or PCG), and the MCG includes a primary cell (Primary Cell, PCell) and zero to multiple secondary cells (Secondary Cell, SCell). The cell group on the SN side is the secondary cell group (Secondary Cell Group, SCG), and the SCG includes a primary cell (Primary SCGCell, PSCell) and zero to multiple secondary cells (Secondary Cell, SCell).

[0142] Among them, the PCell is the cell where the terminal initially accesses on the MN side. The PCell and SCell in the MCG work on different carriers and are combined together through the Carrier Aggregation (CA) technology. Similarly, the PSCell is the cell where the terminal initially accesses on the SN side. The PSCell and SCell in the SCG work on different carriers and are combined together through the CA technology.

[0143] In the communication system to which the technical solution provided in the embodiments of this application is applicable, the network architecture adopts a multi-connection architecture. In the multi-connection architecture, a terminal in the connected state can maintain communications with at least two different access network devices simultaneously. The at least two different access network devices connected to the terminal are divided into one MN and one or more secondary nodes (Secondary Node, SN).

[0144] Figure 1 Taking the multi-connection architecture as the DC architecture as an example, an example diagram of the application scenario applicable to the embodiments of this application is shown, as Figure 1As shown, in this application scenario, the communication system includes a network device and a terminal 140. The network device may include a core network device 130, a radio access network device 110 acting as an MN, and a radio access network device 120 acting as an SN. The MN and the SN are connected to the same core network device 130 by wired or wireless means. The terminal 140 is connected to both the MN and the SN wirelessly.

[0145] Among them, the core network device and the radio access network device in this application scenario may be independent different physical devices, or the functions of the core network device and the logical functions of the radio access network device may be integrated on the same physical device, or the functions of part of the core network device and part of the radio access network device may be integrated on a physical device. The terminal may be fixed in position or movable. Figure 1 This is just a schematic diagram. The communication system may also include other network devices, such as a wireless repeater device and a wireless backhaul device, which are not drawn in Figure 1 the figure.

[0146] In the SCG deactivation state on the SN side, the terminal does not perform data transmission with the SCG. The terminal does not need to monitor the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) for the SCG. However, in the SCG deactivation state, how most of the terminal behaviors between the terminal and the SCG are executed is not yet clear, such as Beam Failure Detection (BFD), Beam Failure Recovery (BFR), Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS), Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmission, Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement, Radio Link Monitoring (RLM) measurement, Timing Advance Timer (TAT) operation and other terminal behaviors.

[0147] To solve the above problems, embodiments of the present application provide a communication method, apparatus, device, and medium in the deactivated state of a secondary cell group. The communication method provided by the embodiments of the present application is applied to the terminal side. In this method, when it is determined that the SCG is in the deactivated state, signal measurements and / or timings of the terminal for the SCG and / or for the PSCell in the SCG are determined. If the first information is obtained, the signal measurements and / or timings of the terminal are reconfigured according to the first information, thereby triggering the terminal to adjust its own signal measurements and / or timings for the SCG and / or for the PSCell, improving the flexibility and rationality of the terminal-side behavior configuration in the deactivated state of the SCG.

[0148] Among them, the methods and apparatuses provided by the embodiments of the present application are based on the same inventive concept. Since the principles of the methods and apparatuses for solving problems are similar, the implementations of the apparatuses and methods can be referred to each other, and the repeated parts will not be elaborated.

[0149] Figure 2 It is a schematic flowchart of the communication method in the deactivated state of a secondary cell group provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 2 shown, the method of this embodiment may include:

[0150] S201. When the SCG is in the deactivated state, determine the signal measurements and / or timings of the terminal for the SCG and / or the PSCell of the SCG.

[0151] The signal measurements are, for example, RRM measurements, RLM measurements, etc., and the timings are, for example, uplink TAT timings.

[0152] Among them, since the SCG includes a PSCell and zero to multiple SCell, the signal measurements and / or timings of the terminal for the SCG may include: the signal measurements and / or timings of the terminal for the PSCell in the SCG, and / or, the signal measurements and / or timings of the terminal for one or more SCell in the SCG.

[0153] In this embodiment, when the SCG is in the deactivated state, the communication data transmission between the terminal and the SCG stops, which does not mean that all the signal measurements and / or timings between the terminal and the SCG stop. Therefore, the terminal can determine its own signal measurements and / or timings for the SCG according to its own communication parameters, and / or only determine its own signal measurements and / or timings for the PSCell in the SCG. Among them, determining the signal measurements and / or timings of the terminal for the SCG includes: determining the signal measurements and / or timings of the terminal for the PSCell in the SCG and determining the signal measurements and / or timings of the terminal for one or more SCell in the SCG.

[0154] For example, if the terminal is pre-configured to perform periodic RRM measurements and SRS transmissions on the SCG, the signal measurements of the terminal for the SCG include RRM measurements and SRS transmissions.

[0155] S202. If the first information is obtained, reconfigure the signal measurement and / or timing according to the first information.

[0156] The first information indicates the communication state between the terminal and the PSCell related to the signal measurement and / or timing. In other words, the first information reflects the communication state between the terminal and the PSCell, and this communication state is related to the signal measurement and / or timing determined in S201. Alternatively, the first information is the indication information received by the terminal from the network device, and this indication information instructs the terminal to reconfigure the signal measurement and / or timing for the SCG and / or the PSCell in the SCG.

[0157] In this embodiment, based on the signal measurement and / or timing of the terminal for the PSCell, the communication state between the terminal and the PSCell can be obtained. For example, based on the RLM measurement of the terminal for the PSCell, the state of the radio link between the terminal and the PSCell is obtained, and based on the CSI-RS measurement of the terminal for the PSCell, the channel state between the terminal and the PSCell is obtained.

[0158] In this embodiment, in the case where the SCG is in the deactivated state, if the terminal obtains the first information indicating the communication state between the terminal and the PSCell, the signal measurement and / or timing can be reconfigured according to the first information, so that the reconfigured signal measurement and / or timing is more suitable for the communication between the terminal and the SCG in the deactivated state.

[0159] In the embodiment of the present application, in the case where the SCG is in the deactivated state, according to the first information associated with the signal measurement and / or timing of the terminal for the SCG and / or the PSCell in the SCG and indicating the communication state between the terminal and the PSCell, or according to the indication information received by the terminal from the network device, the signal measurement and / or timing on the terminal side is reconfigured, so as to trigger the adjustment of the signal measurement and / or timing of the terminal for the SCG or the PSCell in the case where the SCG is in the deactivated state, and improve the flexibility and rationality of the behavior configuration on the terminal side in the deactivated state of the SCG.

[0160] In some embodiments, the signal measurement at the terminal side includes beam failure detection of the PSCell by the terminal. The first information indicates that the terminal has detected a beam failure of the PSCell. Thus, when the terminal detects a beam failure of the PSCell, the signal measurement and / or timing of the terminal for the SCG and / or the PSCell are reconfigured. Among them, when the terminal detects a beam failure of the PSCell, it indicates that the beam quality of the PSCell is poor, the channel state is poor, etc. The beam failure of the PSCell has a greater impact on the communication between the terminal and the SCG. When the terminal detects a beam failure of the PSCell, adjusting the signal measurement and / or timing of the terminal for the SCG and / or the PSCell is beneficial to improving the rationality of the behavior of the terminal device side in the deactivated state of the SCG.

[0161] Based on the signal measurement at the terminal side including beam failure detection of the PSCell by the terminal, the first information indicates that the terminal has detected a beam failure of the PSCell, Figure 3 shows a schematic flowchart of a communication method in the deactivated state of a secondary cell group provided by another embodiment of the present application. As Figure 3 shown, the method of this embodiment may include:

[0162] S301. In the case where the SCG is in the deactivated state, determine the signal measurement and / or timing of the terminal for the PSCell of the SCG.

[0163] Among them, the implementation process of S301 may refer to the description of the foregoing embodiment and will not be elaborated herein.

[0164] S302. If the signal measurement further includes one or more of the following behaviors of the terminal for the PSCell: beam failure recovery, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, RLM measurement, and / or the timing includes the operation of the uplink timing advance timer TAT of the terminal for the PSCell, then according to the first information indicating that the terminal has detected a beam failure of the PSCell, stop the execution of one or more of the signal measurement and / or timing.

[0165] Among them, in a multi-connection scenario, the RRM measurement between the terminal and the network side includes the RRM measurement based on the MCG measurement configuration and the RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration. When the SCG is in the deactivated state, on the terminal side, the RRM measurement based on the MCG measurement configuration is determined to be executed, while it is not clear whether the RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration is executed.

[0166] Among them, the RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration refers to the RRM measurement performed by the terminal based on the measurement configuration sent by the SN side to the terminal.

[0167] In this embodiment, the signal measurement of the terminal for the PSCell includes beam failure detection. Then, the terminal may detect the first information through beam failure detection, that is, detect the beam failure of the PSCell. The beam failure of the PSCell has a greater impact on the communication between the terminal and the SCG. When the terminal detects the beam failure of the PSCell, the terminal may need to perform operations such as disconnecting the connection with the PSCell and then re - establishing the connection with the PSCell. In the communication environment of the beam failure of the PSCell, if the terminal also performs beam failure recovery, TAT operation, SRS transmission, CSI - RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, and RLM measurement for the PSCell, the necessity of executing these signal measurements and / or timings is not high. Therefore, to reduce the power consumption of the terminal in the de - activated state of the SCG, one or more of the signal measurements and / or timings can be stopped on the terminal side. For example, stop the beam failure recovery, TAT operation, etc. of the terminal for the PSCell.

[0168] In the embodiment of the present application, in the case where the terminal performs one or more of beam failure detection, beam failure recovery, SRS transmission, CSI - RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, RLM measurement, and TAT operation for the PSCell in the SCG, if the terminal detects the beam failure of the PSCell, then one or more of the signal measurements and / or timings are stopped on the terminal side, so as to reduce the power consumption of the terminal side in the de - activated state of the SCG and improve the flexibility and rationality of the behavior configuration of the terminal side in the de - activated state of the SCG.

[0169] Considering that in addition to the PSCell, the SCG may also include one or more SCell. Therefore, in the case where the SCG includes the PSCell and one or more SCell, the signal measurement based on the terminal side includes the beam failure detection of the terminal for the PSCell, and the first information indicates that the terminal detects the beam failure of the PSCell. Figure 4 The flowchart of a communication method in the de - activated state of a secondary cell group provided by another embodiment of the present application is shown. As Figure 4 shown, the method of this embodiment may include:

[0170] S401. When the SCG is in the de - activated state, determine the signal measurement and / or timing of the terminal for the SCG.

[0171] Among them, the implementation process of S401 can refer to the description of the foregoing embodiment and will not be elaborated here.

[0172] S402. If the signal measurement further includes one or more of the following for the SCG by the terminal: beam failure recovery, beam failure detection, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, RLM measurement, and / or the timing includes the uplink TAT operation for the SCG by the terminal, then according to the first information indicating that the terminal has detected a beam failure of the PSCell, stop the signal measurement and / or timing of one or more of the following for the SCG by the terminal, or stop the signal measurement and / or timing of one or more of the following for the PSCell and / or the designated SCell in the SCG by the terminal.

[0173] Wherein, the signal measurement further includes one or more of the following behaviors for the SCG by the terminal: beam failure recovery, beam failure detection, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, RLM measurement, and there are the following situations:

[0174] (1) The signal measurement further includes one or more of the following behaviors for the PSCell in the SCG by the terminal: beam failure recovery, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, RLM measurement;

[0175] (2) The signal measurement further includes one or more of the following behaviors for one or more SCells in the SCG by the terminal: beam failure detection, beam failure recovery, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, RLM measurement;

[0176] (3) The signal measurement simultaneously includes both situations (1) and (2).

[0177] In this embodiment, in the signal measurement for the SCG by the terminal, it includes the beam failure detection for the PSCell by the terminal. Therefore, by performing the beam failure detection on the PSCell, the terminal may detect the first information, that is, detect the beam failure of the PSCell. In the case of the beam failure of the PSCell, if the signal measurement for the SCG by the terminal further includes one or more of the following: beam failure recovery, beam failure detection, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, RLM measurement, and / or the timing on the terminal side includes the uplink TAT operation for the SCG by the terminal, then the necessity of performing these signal measurements and / or timing is not high, and the terminal may stop performing one or more of the signal measurements and / or timing to reduce the power consumption of the terminal in the deactivated state of the SCG and improve the rationality of the behavior configuration on the terminal side.

[0178] In this embodiment, the terminal stops executing one or more of signal measurement and / or timing, including the terminal stops executing one or more of signal measurement and / or timing for the SCG, that is, stops executing one or more of signal measurement and / or timing for the PSCell and / or SCell in the SCG. Alternatively, the terminal stops executing one or more of signal measurement and / or timing, including the terminal stops executing one or more of signal measurement and / or timing for the PSCell and / or designated SCell in the SCG.

[0179] Among them, the designated SCell in the SCG may refer to the SCell in the SCG that is not in the dormant state. Therefore, when reconfiguring the signal measurement and / or timing of the terminal for the SCell in the SCG according to the first information, the signal measurement and / or timing of only the designated SCell in the SCG can be reconfigured.

[0180] In the embodiment of the present application, if the signal measurement of the terminal for the SCG includes one or more of the following: beam failure detection, beam failure recovery, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, RLM measurement, and / or the timing on the terminal side includes the uplink TAT operation of the terminal for the SCG, then when the terminal detects a beam failure of the PSCell in the SCG, it stops executing one or more of signal measurement and / or timing of the SCG, or the PSCell and / or designated SCell in the SCG, thereby reducing the power consumption on the terminal side in the deactivated state of the SCG and improving the flexibility and rationality of the behavior configuration on the terminal side.

[0181] In some embodiments, the timing on the terminal side includes the uplink TAT operation of the terminal for the PSCell, and the first information indicates that the terminal detects an uplink TAT timeout of the PSCell. Therefore, in the case where the terminal detects an uplink TAT timeout of the PSCell, the signal measurement and / or timing of the terminal for the SCG and / or PSCell are reconfigured. Among them, the terminal detects an uplink TAT timeout of the PSCell through the uplink TAT operation for the PSCell. In the case of an uplink TAT timeout of the PSCell, the uplink and downlink signal transmissions between the terminal and the PSCell may go wrong. At this time, reconfiguring the signal measurement and / or timing of the terminal for the SCG and / or PSCell is beneficial to improving the rationality of signal measurement and / or timing on the terminal device side in the deactivated state of the SCG.

[0182] Based on the timing on the terminal side including the uplink TAT operation of the terminal for the PSCell, the first information indicates that the terminal detects an uplink TAT timeout of the PSCell, Figure 5The figure shows a schematic flowchart of a communication method in the deactivated state of a secondary cell group provided by another embodiment of the present application. As Figure 5 shown, the method of this embodiment may include:

[0183] S501. When the SCG is in the deactivated state, determine the signal measurement and / or timing of the terminal for the PSCell in the SCG.

[0184] Among them, the implementation process of S501 can refer to the foregoing embodiment and will not be elaborated here.

[0185] S502. If the signal measurement includes one or more of the following for the PSCell by the terminal: beam failure detection, beam failure recovery, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, RLM measurement, stop the execution of one or more of the signal measurement and / or timing according to the first information indicating that the terminal detects the uplink TAT timeout of the PSCell.

[0186] In this embodiment, the terminal detects the uplink TAT timeout of the PSCell by running the uplink TAT for the PSCell. When the uplink TAT of the PSCell times out, if the signal measurement on the terminal side further includes one or more of the following behaviors of the terminal for the PSCell: beam failure detection, beam failure recovery, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, RLM measurement, the necessity of executing these signal measurements and / or timing is not high. Therefore, to reduce the power consumption of the terminal in the deactivated state of the SCG, the execution of one or more of the signal measurement and / or timing can be stopped on the terminal side.

[0187] In the embodiment of the present application, when the timing on the terminal side includes the terminal running the uplink TAT for the PSCell in the SCG, and the signal measurement on the terminal side is one or more of the beam failure detection, beam failure recovery, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, RLM measurement of the PSCell in the SCG, if the terminal detects the uplink TAT timeout of the PSCell during the uplink TAT running, then the execution of one or more of these signal measurements and / or timing is stopped on the terminal side, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal side in the deactivated state of the SCG and improving the flexibility and rationality of the behavior configuration on the terminal side in the deactivated state of the SCG.

[0188] Considering that in addition to the PSCell, the SCG may further include one or more SCell. When the SCG includes the PSCell and one or more SCell, based on the timing on the terminal side including the terminal running the uplink TAT for the PSCell, and the first information indicates that the terminal detects the uplink TAT timeout of the PSCell,Figure 6 The figure shows a schematic flowchart of a communication method in the deactivated state of a secondary cell group provided by another embodiment of the present application. As Figure 6 shown, the method of this embodiment may include:

[0189] S601. When the SCG is in the deactivated state, determine the signal measurement and / or timing of the terminal for the SCG.

[0190] Among them, the implementation process of S601 can refer to the foregoing embodiment and will not be elaborated herein.

[0191] S602. If the signal measurement includes one or more of the following behaviors of the terminal for the SCG: beam failure detection, beam failure recovery, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, RLM measurement, and / or the timing includes the uplink TAT operation of the terminal for the SCG, then according to the first information indicating that the terminal detects the uplink TAT timeout of the PSCell, stop one or more of the signal measurement and / or timing of the terminal for the SCG, or stop the terminal for the PSCell and / or the designated secondary cell SCell in the SCG.

[0192] Among them, the signal measurement includes one or more of the following behaviors of the terminal for the SCG: beam failure detection, beam failure recovery, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, RLM measurement, and there are the following situations:

[0193] (1) The terminal behavior includes one or more of the following for the PSCell in the SCG: beam failure detection, beam failure recovery, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, RLM measurement;

[0194] (2) The terminal behavior includes one or more of the following behaviors for one or more SCells in the SCG: beam failure detection, beam failure recovery, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, RLM measurement;

[0195] (3) The terminal behavior also includes both situations (1) and (2) simultaneously.

[0196] In this embodiment, the terminal runs based on the uplink TAT of the PSCell and detects that the uplink TAT of the PSCell times out. When the uplink TAT of the PSCell times out, if it is determined that the signal measurements on the terminal side include one or more of the following behaviors of the terminal for the SCG: beam failure detection, beam failure recovery, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, RLM measurement, and / or it is determined that the timing on the terminal side includes the uplink TAT operation of the terminal for the SCG, then the necessity of performing these signal measurements and / or timing is not high, and the terminal can stop performing one or more of these signal measurements and / or timing to reduce the power consumption of the terminal in the SCG deactivated state and improve the rationality of the behavior configuration on the terminal side.

[0197] In this embodiment, the terminal stops performing one or more of the signal measurements and / or timing, including the terminal stopping performing one or more of the signal measurements and / or timing for the SCG, or the terminal stopping performing one or more of the signal measurements and / or timing for the PSCell and / or the designated SCell in the SCG. For specific reference, please refer to the relevant descriptions in the foregoing embodiments and will not be elaborated here.

[0198] In the embodiment of this application, when it is determined that the timing on the terminal side includes the uplink TAT operation of the terminal for the PSCell in the SCG and the signal measurements on the terminal side include one or more of beam failure detection, beam failure recovery, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, and RLM measurement of the terminal for the SCG, and the terminal detects that the uplink TAT of the PSCell times out during the uplink TAT operation, then one or more of these signal measurements and / or timing are stopped on the terminal side, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal side in the SCG deactivated state and improving the flexibility and rationality of the behavior configuration of the terminal side in the SCG deactivated state.

[0199] In some embodiments, based on the signal measurements on the terminal side including beam failure detection of the terminal for the PSCell and the first information indicating that the terminal detects the beam failure of the PSCell; or, based on the timing on the terminal side including the uplink TAT operation of the terminal for the PSCell and the first information indicating that the terminal detects the uplink TAT timeout of the PSCell, if the signal measurements on the terminal side further include one or more of the following: RRM measurement for the SCG, RLM measurement for the PSCell, CSI-RS measurement for the SCG and / or the PSCell, then one or more of these signal measurements can be reconfigured to improve the flexibility and rationality of the behavior configuration of the terminal side in the SCG deactivated state.

[0200] Further, during the process of reconfiguring one or more signal measurements among RRM measurements for SCG, RLM measurements for PSCell, and CSI-RS measurements for SCG and / or PSCell, the measurement period of the one or more signal measurements can be adjusted to improve the flexibility and rationality of the measurement period of signal measurements in the SCG deactivated state.

[0201] Further, Figure 7 FIG. shows a schematic flowchart of a communication method in the deactivated state of a secondary cell group provided by another embodiment of the present application. As Figure 7 shown, the method of this embodiment may include:

[0202] S701. In a case where the SCG is in the deactivated state, determine signal measurement and / or timing of the terminal for the SCG and / or the PSCell in the SCG. The signal measurement includes beam failure detection for the PSCell and / or the timing includes uplink TAT operation for the PSCell. The signal measurement further includes one or more of the following: RRM measurement for the SCG, RLM measurement for the PSCell, and CSI-RS measurement for the SCG and / or the PSCell.

[0203] Among them, the RRM measurement for the SCG includes RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration for the SCG. The CSI-RS measurement for the SCG includes CSI-RS measurement for the PSCell and one or more SCell in the SCG.

[0205] S702. For one or more signal measurements, if the measurement period of the signal measurement is the second period, then according to the first information indicating that the terminal detects beam failure of the PSCell or indicating that the terminal detects beam failure of the PSCell, switch the measurement period of the signal measurement from the second period to the first period.

[0206] Among them, if the signal measurement on the terminal side includes beam failure detection of the PSCell by the terminal, the first information indicates that the terminal detects beam failure of the PSCell. If the timing on the terminal side includes uplink TAT operation of the PSCell by the terminal, the first information indicates that the terminal detects uplink TAT timeout of the PSCell.

[0207] Among them, the first period is greater than the second period.

[0208] In this embodiment, when the terminal detects the beam failure of the PSCell and / or the timeout of the uplink TAT, it can be considered that the necessity degree of the terminal to perform the RRM measurement for the SCG, the RLM measurement for the PSCell, and the CSI-RS measurement for the SCG and / or the PSCell is reduced. Therefore, among the RRM measurement for the SCG, the RLM measurement for the PSCell, and the CSI-RS measurement for the SCG and / or the PSCell, for one or more of these signal measurements, if the measurement period of the signal measurement is the second period, the measurement period of the signal measurement can be switched from the second period to the first period to increase the measurement period of the signal measurement and reduce the power consumption of the terminal.

[0209] Optionally, when the terminal detects the beam failure of the PSCell and / or the timeout of the uplink TAT, it may be necessary to accelerate the RRM measurement for the SCG, the RLM measurement for the PSCell, and the CSI-RS measurement for the SCG and / or the PSCell of the terminal to quickly feedback the communication state between the terminal and the PSCell, quickly restore the beam or quickly solve the uplink TAT timeout. Therefore, among the RRM measurement for the SCG, the RLM measurement for the PSCell, and the CSI-RS measurement for the SCG and / or the PSCell of the terminal, for one or more of these signal measurements, if the measurement period of the signal measurement is the first period, the measurement period of the signal measurement can be switched from the first period to the second period to shorten the measurement period of the signal measurement and improve the communication effect.

[0210] In the embodiment of the present application, when the signal measurement of the terminal for the SCG and / or the PSCell in the SCG includes the beam failure detection for the PSCell, and / or the timing of the terminal for the SCG and / or the PSCell in the SCG includes the operation of the uplink TAT for the PSCell, if the terminal side further includes one or more of the RRM measurement for the SCG, the RLM measurement for the PSCell, and the CSI-RS measurement for the SCG and / or the PSCell, then when the terminal detects the beam failure of the PSCell and / or the timeout of the uplink TAT, the measurement period of one or more signal measurements is adjusted to improve the flexibility and rationality of the behavior configuration on the terminal side in the SCG deactivated state.

[0211] In some embodiments, the signal measurement on the terminal side includes beam failure recovery of the terminal for the PSCell, and the first information indicates that the terminal has successfully completed the beam failure recovery of the PSCell; and / or, the timing on the terminal side includes the uplink TAT operation of the terminal for the PSCell, and the first information indicates that the terminal restarts the uplink TAT of the PSCell. Thus, when the terminal completes the beam failure recovery of the PSCell and / or the terminal restarts the uplink TAT of the PSCell, the signal measurement and / or timing of the terminal for the SCG and / or the PSCell are reconfigured. Among them, the terminal successfully completing the beam failure recovery of the PSCell and / or the terminal restarting the uplink TAT of the PSCell indicates that the communication environment between the terminal and the SCG has been restored, such as the beam quality recovery of the PSCell, the channel state recovery, etc. At this time, the communication environment between the terminal and the SCG changes greatly. Adjusting the signal measurement and / or timing of the terminal for the SCG and / or the PSCell is beneficial to improving the rationality of the signal measurement and / or timing on the terminal device side in the deactivated state of the SCG.

[0212] Furthermore, the terminal behavior further includes one or more of the following signal measurements: RRM measurement for the SCG, RLM measurement for the PSCell, CSI-RS measurement for the SCG and / or the PSCell. Thus, when the terminal successfully completes the beam failure recovery of the primary cell PSCell and / or the terminal restarts the uplink TAT of the PSCell, one or more signal measurements are reconfigured to improve the flexibility and rationality of the signal measurement configuration on the terminal side in the deactivated state of the SCG.

[0213] Furthermore, in the process of reconfiguring one or more signal measurements among the RRM measurement for the SCG, the RLM measurement for the PSCell, and the CSI-RS measurement for the SCG and / or the PSCell, the measurement period of the one or more signal measurements can be adjusted to improve the flexibility and rationality of the measurement period of the signal measurement in the deactivated state of the SCG.

[0214] Figure 8 The flowchart of a communication method in the deactivated state of a secondary cell group provided by another embodiment of the present application is shown. As Figure 8 shown, the method of this embodiment may include:

[0215] S801. When the SCG is in the deactivated state, determine the signal measurement and / or timing for the SCG and / or the PSCell in the SCG. The signal measurement includes beam failure recovery for the PSCell and / or the timing includes uplink TAT operation for the PSCell. The signal measurement also includes one or more of the following: RRM measurement for the SCG, RLM measurement for the PSCell, CSI-RS measurement for the SCG and / or the PSCell.

[0216] Among them, the implementation process of S801 can refer to the foregoing embodiments and will not be elaborated here.

[0217] S802. For one or more signal measurements, if the measurement period of the signal measurement is the first period, then according to the first information indicating that the terminal has successfully completed beam failure recovery of the PSCell and / or the terminal has restarted the uplink TAT of the PSCell, switch the measurement period of the signal measurement from the first period to the second period.

[0218] Among them, if the signal measurement on the terminal side includes beam failure recovery of the PSCell by the terminal, the first information indicates that the terminal has successfully completed beam failure recovery of the PSCell. If the timing on the terminal side includes uplink TAT operation of the PSCell by the terminal, the first information indicates that the terminal has restarted the uplink TAT of the PSCell.

[0219] Among them, the first period is greater than the second period.

[0220] In this embodiment, when the terminal has successfully completed beam failure recovery of the PSCell and / or the terminal has restarted the uplink TAT of the PSCell, the communication environment between the terminal and the SCG returns to normal. The RRM measurement for the SCG, the RLM measurement for the PSCell, and the CSI-RS measurement for the SCG and / or the PSCell can be restored to be measured according to the normal period. Therefore, among the RRM measurement for the SCG, the RLM measurement for the PSCell, and the CSI-RS measurement for the SCG and / or the PSCell, for one or more of these signal measurements, if the measurement period of the signal measurement is the first period, the measurement period of the signal measurement can be switched from the longer first period to the second period to restore the normal measurement period of the signal measurement.

[0221] Optionally, in the case where the terminal successfully completes beam failure recovery of the PSCell and / or the terminal restarts the uplink TAT of the PSCell, since the communication environment between the terminal and the SCG returns to normal, it may be necessary to perform signal measurements without following the normal period in the deactivated state of the SCG, and a longer measurement period can be adopted. Therefore, in the RRM measurement of the SCG, the RLM measurement of the PSCell, and the CSI-RS measurement of the SCG and / or the PSCell by the terminal, for one or more of these signal measurements, if the measurement period of the signal measurement is the second period, the measurement period of the signal measurement can be switched from the second period to the first period to reduce the power consumption of the terminal in the deactivated state of the SCG.

[0222] In the embodiments of the present application, when the terminal performs beam failure recovery and / or uplink TAT operation on the PSCell in the SCG, and the signal measurement on the terminal side further includes one or more of the RRM measurement of the SCG, the RLM measurement of the PSCell, and the CSI-RS measurement of the SCG and / or the PSCell, if the terminal successfully completes the beam failure recovery of the PSCell and / or the terminal restarts the uplink TAT of the PSCell, the measurement period of one or more signal measurements is adjusted to improve the flexibility and rationality of the behavior configuration on the terminal side in the deactivated state of the SCG.

[0223] In some embodiments, the signal measurement on the terminal side includes the RLM measurement of the PSCell by the terminal, and the first information indicates that the terminal detects that the PSCell has a radio link failure. Thus, when the terminal detects that the PSCell has a radio link failure, the signal measurement and / or timing of the terminal for the SCG and / or the PSCell are reconfigured.

[0224] Among them, the occurrence of a radio link failure of the PSCell indicates that the communication device of the PSCell has a fault, which has a greater impact on the communication environment between the terminal and the SCG. At this time, reconfiguring the signal measurement and / or timing of the terminal for the SCG and / or the PSCell is beneficial to improving the flexibility and rationality of the behavior configuration on one side of the terminal in the deactivated state of the SCG.

[0225] Based on the signal measurement on the terminal side including the RLM measurement of the PSCell by the terminal, and the first information indicates that the terminal detects that the PSCell has a radio link failure, Figure 9 shows a schematic flowchart of a communication method in a deactivated state of a secondary cell group provided by another embodiment of the present application. As Figure 9 shown, the method of this embodiment may include:

[0226] S901. In the case where the SCG is in a deactivated state, determine the signal measurement and / or timing of the terminal for the PSCell of the SCG.

[0227] Among them, the implementation process of S901 can refer to the description of the foregoing embodiments and will not be elaborated herein.

[0228] S902. If the signal measurement further includes one or more of the following behaviors of the terminal for the PSCell: beam failure detection, beam failure recovery, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, and / or the timing includes the uplink TAT operation of the terminal for the PSCell, then according to the first information indicating that the terminal detects that a radio link failure has occurred in the PSCell, stop the execution of one or more of the signal measurement and / or timing.

[0229] In this embodiment, if the signal measurement of the terminal for the PSCell includes RLM measurement, the terminal may detect the first information through the RLM measurement, that is, detect that a radio link failure has occurred in the PSCell. When the terminal detects that a radio link failure has occurred in the PSCell, if the terminal also performs one or more of beam failure detection, beam failure recovery, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, and uplink TAT operation for the PSCell, the necessity of the execution of these signal measurements and / or timing is not high. Therefore, to reduce the power consumption of the terminal in the SCG deactivated state, the execution of one or more of the signal measurement and / or timing can be stopped on the terminal side.

[0230] In the embodiments of the present application, when the signal measurement of the terminal for the PSCell in the SCG includes RLM detection, and the terminal also performs one or more of beam failure detection, beam failure recovery, TAT operation, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, and RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration for the PSCell, if the terminal detects that a radio link failure has occurred in the PSCell, then stop the execution of one or more of these signal measurements and / or timing on the terminal side, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal side in the SCG deactivated state and improving the flexibility and rationality of the behavior configuration of the terminal side in the SCG deactivated state.

[0231] Considering that in addition to the PSCell, the SCG may further include one or more SCell. In the case where the SCG includes the PSCell and one or more SCell, based on the signal measurement on the terminal side including the RLM measurement of the terminal for the PSCell, the first information indicates that the terminal detects that a radio link failure has occurred in the PSCell Figure 10 shows a schematic flowchart of a communication method in a secondary cell group deactivated state provided by another embodiment of the present application. As Figure 10 shown, the method of this embodiment may include:

[0232] S1001. When the SCG is in the deactivated state, determine the signal measurement and / or timing of the terminal for the SCG.

[0233] Among them, the implementation process of S1001 can refer to the description of the foregoing embodiments and will not be elaborated here.

[0234] S1002. If the signal measurement includes one or more of the following for the terminal with respect to the SCG: beam failure detection, beam failure recovery, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, RLM measurement, and / or the timing includes the uplink TAT operation of the terminal for the SCG, then according to the first information indicating that the terminal detects a radio link failure of the PSCell, stop the SCG, or stop the execution of one or more of the signal measurement and / or timing of the PSCell and / or the designated secondary cell (SCell) in the SCG.

[0235] Among them, the signal measurement further includes one or more of the following behaviors of the terminal with respect to the SCG: beam failure detection, beam failure recovery, uplink TAT operation, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, RLM measurement, and there are the following situations:

[0236] (1) The signal measurement further includes one or more of the following behaviors of the terminal with respect to the PSCell in the SCG: beam failure detection, beam failure recovery, uplink TAT operation, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration;

[0237] (2) The signal measurement further includes one or more of the following behaviors of the terminal with respect to one or more SCell in the SCG: beam failure detection, beam failure recovery, uplink TAT operation, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, RLM measurement;

[0238] (3) The signal measurement further includes both situations of (1) and (2) simultaneously.

[0239] In this embodiment, the terminal may detect the first information by performing RLM measurement on the PSCell, that is, detecting that the PSCell has a radio link failure. In the case where the PSCell has a radio link failure, if the terminal also performs one or more of beam failure recovery, beam failure detection, uplink TAT operation, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, and RLM measurement for the SCG, the necessity of performing these signal measurements and / or timing is not high. The terminal may stop performing one or more of the signal measurements and / or timing for the SCG, or the PSCell and / or the designated SCell in the SCG, so as to reduce the power consumption of the terminal in the deactivated state of the SCG and improve the rationality of the terminal-side behavior configuration.

[0240] The meaning of the designated SCell may be referred to the foregoing embodiment and will not be elaborated herein.

[0241] In the embodiment of the present application, if the terminal performs one or more of beam failure detection, beam failure recovery, TAT operation, SRS transmission, CSI-RS measurement and / or reporting, RRM measurement based on the SCG measurement configuration, and RLM measurement for the SCG, when the terminal detects that the PSCell in the SCG has a radio link failure, it stops performing one or more of the signal measurements and / or timing for the SCG1, or the PSCell and / or the designated SCell in the SCG, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal side in the deactivated state of the SCG and improving the flexibility and rationality of the terminal-side behavior configuration.

[0242] In some embodiments, the terminal side includes one or more of the following signal measurements: RRM measurement for the SCG, RLM measurement for the PSCell, CSI-RS measurement for the SCG and / or the PSCell. The first information indicates that the timers of one or more signal measurements time out. Thus, in the case where the timers of one or more signal measurements time out, the timed-out one or more signal measurements are reconfigured to improve the flexibility and rationality of the signal measurement configuration on the terminal side in the deactivated state of the SCG.

[0243] Furthermore, in the process of reconfiguring the timed-out one or more signal measurements, when the timers of one or more signal measurements among the RRM measurement for the SCG, the RLM measurement for the PSCell, and the CSI-RS measurement for the SCG and / or the PSCell time out, the measurement periods of the timed-out one or more signal measurements are adjusted to improve the flexibility and rationality of the measurement period configuration of the signal measurement on the terminal side in the deactivated state of the SCG.

[0244] When adjusting the measurement period for one or more signal measurements of timeout, a possible implementation is as follows: If the measurement period for the signal measurement of timeout is the second period, then according to the detected first information, switch the measurement period for the signal measurement of timeout from the second period to the first period, where the first period is greater than the second period. Therefore, switch the signal measurement of timeout from a shorter measurement period to a longer measurement period, and restart the timing of the signal measurement.

[0245] When adjusting the measurement period for one or more signal measurements of timeout, another possible implementation is as follows: If the measurement period for the signal measurement of timeout is the first period, then according to the detected first information, switch the measurement period for the signal measurement of timeout from the first period to the second period. Therefore, when the signal measurement of timeout switches from a longer measurement period to a shorter measurement period, restart the timing of the signal measurement.

[0246] Furthermore, one or more signal measurements among the RRM measurement for SCG, the RLM measurement for PSCell, and the CSI-RS measurement for SCG and / or PSCell can be timed using the same timer. Therefore, when this timer times out, it means that the RRM measurement for SCG, the RLM measurement for PSCell, and the CSI-RS measurement for SCG and / or PSCell all time out. Or, one or more signal measurements among the RRM measurement for SCG, the RLM measurement for PSCell, and the CSI-RS measurement for SCG and / or PSCell can be timed using different timers respectively. Therefore, if there is a timer that times out, the signal measurement corresponding to this timer can be determined as the signal measurement of timeout, and the signal measurement of timeout can be reconfigured.

[0247] In some embodiments, the terminal behavior includes one or more of the following signal measurements: the RRM measurement for SCG, the RLM measurement for PSCell, and the CSI-RS measurement for SCG and / or PSCell. The first information is the indication information related to one or more signal measurements sent by the network device received by the terminal. Therefore, according to the first information, reconfigure one or more signal measurements indicated by the first information. In other words, according to the indication information related to one or more signal measurements sent by the network device received by the terminal, reconfigure one or more signal measurements indicated by the network device, so as to improve the flexibility and rationality of the signal measurement configuration in the SCG deactivated state. For example, if the first information is the indication information related to the RLM measurement for PSCell sent by the network device received by the terminal, then according to the first information, reconfigure the signal measurement of the RLM measurement for PSCell.

[0248] Further, when reconfiguring one or more signal measurements indicated by the first information, the measurement period of one or more signal measurements indicated by the first information can be reconfigured to improve the flexibility and rationality of the measurement period configuration of signal measurements in the SCG deactivated state.

[0249] A possible implementation of reconfiguring the measurement period of one or more signal measurements indicated by the first information includes: for one or more signal measurements indicated by the first information, if the measurement period of the signal measurement is the second period, then according to the first information, switch the measurement period of the signal measurement from the second period to the first period.

[0250] A possible implementation of reconfiguring the measurement period of one or more signal measurements indicated by the first information includes: for one or more signal measurements indicated by the first information, if the measurement period of the signal measurement is the first period, then according to the first information, switch the measurement period of the signal measurement from the first period to the second period.

[0251] Therefore, the measurement period of one or more signal measurements can be switched back and forth according to the indication information of the network device for one or more signal measurements, effectively improving the flexibility and rationality of the measurement period configuration of one or more signal measurements in the SCG deactivated state.

[0252] Further, the network device can respectively indicate one or more of the RRM measurements for the SCG, the RLM measurements for the PSCell, and the CSI-RS measurements for the SCG and / or the PSCell, or can simultaneously indicate one or more of the RRM measurements for the SCG, the RLM measurements for the PSCell, and the CSI-RS measurements for the SCG and / or the PSCell through the same indication information.
