[0030] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but optionally includes steps or units that are not listed, or optionally includes other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0032] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0033] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for processing a high-level identifier and a related device. The embodiment of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0034] See also Figure 1a , Figure 1a 1 is an architecture diagram of a mobile communication system 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The mobile communication system 10 may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, or a next generation evolution system based on the LTE system, such as an LTE-A (LTE-Advanced) system or a fifth generation (5th Generation, 5G) system (also known as an NR system), or a next generation evolution system based on the 5G system, and so on. In the embodiments of the present application, the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably, but those skilled in the art can understand their meanings.

[0035] The mobile communication system 10 includes a terminal 100 on the user side and a network device 200 on the access network side, wherein the terminal 100 is in communication connection with the network device 200 .

[0036] Among them, the network device 200 can be an LTE base station, a 5G base station, a 5G access point AP, etc., which is not limited here. The base station may include different types such as macro base stations, micro base stations, relay stations, access points, etc. In some embodiments, the base station may be referred to as a base station transceiver, a wireless base station, an access point, a wireless transceiver, a basic service set (Basic Service Set, BSS), an extended service set (Extended Service Set, ESS), a Node B (NodeB), an evolved Node B (evolved NodeB, eNB or eNodeB) or some other appropriate terms by those skilled in the art. Exemplarily, in a 5G system, the base station is called a gNB.

[0037] Among them, the terminal 100 can be scattered throughout the mobile communication system, and each terminal 100 can be stationary or mobile. The terminal 100 can also be referred to as a mobile station, a user station, a mobile unit, a user unit, a wireless unit, a remote unit, a mobile device, a user device, a wireless device, a wireless communication device, a remote device, a mobile user station, an access terminal, a mobile terminal, a wireless terminal, a remote terminal, a handheld device, a user agent, a mobile client, a client or some other appropriate terms by those skilled in the art. The terminal 100 can be a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (Wireless Local Loop, WLL) station, etc. The terminal 100 can communicate with the access network device in the mobile communication system.

[0038] The communication system and business scenarios described in the embodiments of the present disclosure are intended to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that with the evolution of communication systems and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure are equally applicable to similar technical problems.

[0039] like Figure 1b As shown in the structural diagram of the terminal 100, the terminal 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a processor 210, a memory 220, a communication interface 230, and one or more programs 221, wherein the one or more programs 221 are stored in the memory 220 and are configured to be executed by the processor 210, and the program 221 includes a method for executing the method described in the method embodiment of the present application.

[0040] If a UE in a connected state has service needs, the base station can configure carrier aggregation for the UE. In carrier aggregation, the UE can use the resources of multiple component carriers at the same time to achieve high data transmission rates. Usually, the component carriers that implement carrier aggregation are located in the same base station.

[0041] In Release 12 of the standard specification, Figure 1c As shown, dual connectivity is introduced in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology so that the UE can use the resources of two base stations for data transmission at the same time. The cell Cell1 provided by the evolved node eNB1 and the Cell2 provided by eNB2 provide dual connectivity services for the UE, which can not only improve the data throughput rate but also improve the mobility performance. The data interaction between the two base stations takes a long time, such as more than 2ms.

[0042] For a UE in dual connection, the master eNB (MeNB, or MN) is responsible for the transmission of RRC signaling, and the secondary eNB (SeNB, or SN) is responsible for the configuration of the secondary cell group SCG. The SCGcell configured by SeNB needs to be sent to the UE through the MeNB by radio resource control RRC signaling. Both MeNB and SeNB can configure multiple serving cells for the UE.

[0043] In 5G, since NR is initially used only as a hotspot coverage, when 5G wireless resources are needed for data transmission, the terminal needs to support dual connections of LTE and NR. For example, the UE first accesses the LTE base station and is in a connected state. If there is a need for high-speed data transmission, the LTE base station (eNB) configures an available NR cell for the UE, so that the UE is in a LTE and NR dual connection state (EN-DC), which can fully utilize the wireless resources of LTE and NR. Because NR and LTE belong to different systems, the NR base station (gNB) needs to have some control functions when acting as an SgNB, such as generating signaling for the NR side to configure parameters for the UE.

[0044] After the UE establishes LTE-NR dual connection (abbreviated as EN-DC), both the master base station and the secondary base station can configure measurements for the UE. For UEs configured with EN-DC, the configuration received from the master base station (eNB) is called the Master Cell Group (MCG), and the configuration received from the secondary base station (gNB) is called the Secondary Cell Group (SCG). For UEs configured with EN-DC, if the system message block SIB2 indicates that the upper layer identification is true, that is, upperLayerIndication(True), the UE needs to forward this indication to its own upper layer so that the UE can indicate the 5G identification on the screen to the user, indicating that the UE is in 5G service or in a 5G network.

[0045] NR has recently introduced a new state of SCG, SCG Deactivation. During SCG deactivation, the UE does not need to maintain communication with the secondary base station. The network, such as the primary base station, can notify the UE through signaling that its SCG is deactivated, and the UE does not need to monitor the physical layer control signaling sent by the secondary base station.

[0046] Currently, once the SCG of the UE is deactivated, the UE will no longer use the 5G transmission resources. Whether the 5G indication flag needs to be modified at this time needs further clarification.

[0047] In view of the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for processing a high-level identifier and a related device, which are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a flowchart of a method for processing a high-level identifier provided in an embodiment of the present application, which is applied to Figure 1a The terminal 100 and the network device 200 in the mobile communication system 10 shown include the following steps:

[0049] Step 201: The network device sends a first signaling to the terminal, where the first signaling is used to instruct the terminal to deactivate a secondary cell group, and the first signaling is used to trigger the terminal to indicate to a higher layer of the terminal that the higher layer identifier does not exist or does not need to be displayed.

[0050] The upper layer identifier is used to indicate the network type of the secondary cell group, that is, the indicator identifier of the corresponding network type, such as the indicator identifier of the 5G network may be "5G" or "NR", and the indicator identifier of the 4G network may be "4G" or "LTE", etc. Here, the UE is in the EN-DC scenario, and the upper layer identifier (upperLayerIndication) indicated by the UE to its own upper layer is used by the upper layer to display "5G" or "NR" to the user.

[0051] The high layer includes the non-access layer or application layer of the terminal.

[0052] The first signaling includes any one of the following: radio resource control RRC connection reconfiguration signaling, handover signaling, RRC connection recovery signaling, and preset dedicated signaling.

[0053] Among them, the preset dedicated signaling can be a newly introduced signaling for deactivating SCG.

[0054] Step 202: The terminal receives a first signaling from a network device, where the first signaling is used to instruct the terminal to deactivate a secondary cell group.

[0055] Step 203: The terminal indicates to a higher layer of the terminal that the higher layer identifier does not exist or that it is not necessary to display the higher layer identifier.

[0056] In a specific implementation, the terminal indicates to the higher layer that the higher layer identifier does not exist in a specific implementation manner: the information element of the higher layer identifier may not be included, or the higher layer may be aware of the non-existence of the higher layer identifier through coding.

[0057] In a specific implementation, the terminal indicates to the higher layer that it is not necessary to display the higher layer identifier by indicating that the higher layer identifier is False, or indicating a 4G identifier.

[0058] In one possible example, before the terminal indicates to the upper layer of the terminal that the high-level identifier does not exist or indicates that the high-level identifier does not need to be displayed, the method also includes: the terminal receives a second signaling from the network device; the high-level identifier associated information of the second signaling includes at least one high-level identifier indication information; the at least one high-level identifier indication information is used to indicate the terminal to indicate to the upper layer that the high-level identifier exists when the secondary cell group is activated; or, the high-level identifier indication information is used to indicate to the upper layer that the high-level identifier does not exist or indicates that the high-level identifier does not need to be displayed when the secondary cell group is inactive, deactivated or asleep.

[0059] Correspondingly, the method further includes: the network device sending a second signaling to the terminal.

[0060] In this possible example, the high-layer identifier association information includes a plurality of PLMN identifiers in the PLMN list and a plurality of high-layer identifier indication information corresponding one-to-one to the plurality of PLMN identifiers.

[0061] The PLMN list is indicated by SIB1. When SIB1 indicates multiple PLMN lists, it means that the cell is shared by PLMNs, and UEs of multiple PLMNs can access the cell. When SIB1 indicates only one PLMN, the cell is only accessible to UEs of the PLMN.

[0062] It can be seen that in this example, the system supports indicating the high-layer identification indication information corresponding to each PLMN through an explicit PLMN identification.

[0063] In this possible example, the high-layer identity association information includes a plurality of high-layer identity indication information corresponding one-to-one to a plurality of PLMNs in the PLMN list.

[0064] The corresponding PLMN may be implicitly indicated by the position of each high-layer identification indication information in the high-layer identification indication information.

[0065] It can be seen that in this example, the system supports the high-layer identification indication information corresponding to the implicit indication of the PLMN and the explicit indication of the PLMN.

[0066] In this possible example, the high-layer identifier association information includes single high-layer identifier indication information corresponding to multiple PLMNs in the PLMN list.

[0067] The multiple PLMNs are adapted to the same high-level identification indication information without individual distinction and are adapted uniformly.

[0068] It can be seen that in this example, the system supports unified adaptation of all PLMNs through a single high-level identification indication information.

[0069] In this possible example, the second signaling includes system message block SIB signaling.

[0070] Among them, the SIB signaling can set a high-level identifier according to the PLMN to distinguish whether the SCG is activated or not.

[0071] In a specific implementation, the UE may select the corresponding high-level identification indication information (i.e., whether the high-level identification distinguishes the configuration of the SCG state, the SCG state including activation, inactivation, deactivation or sleep) according to the PLMN to which it accesses.

[0072] For example, assuming that the high-level identification association information is configured as shown in Table 1, the high-level identification association information (or called high-level identification differentiation information) may include two information elements, namely a first information element and a second information element, wherein the first information element indicates the PLMN identification, and the second information element indicates whether the high-level indication of the PLMN distinguishes the SCG status. The value 0 of the second information element may correspond to the need to distinguish the SCG status, and the value 1 may correspond to the need not to distinguish the SCG status.

[0073] Table 1 Explicit indication + one-to-one correspondence

[0074]

[0075] For another example, assuming that the high-level identification association information is configured as shown in Table 2, the high-level identification association information (or high-level identification distinguishing information) may include one information element, and the position of each bit of the information element implicitly corresponds to the PLMN in SIB1. The position of the PLMN and the position of the bit in the information element may correspond one to one, and is specifically used to indicate whether the high-level identification of the PLMN corresponding to the current position distinguishes the SCG state. For example, the value 0 of the bit 1 of the information element is used to indicate that the high-level identification of the corresponding PLMN1 distinguishes the SCG state, and the value 1 of the bit 2 is used to indicate that the high-level identification of the corresponding PLMN2 does not distinguish the SCG state.

[0076] Table 2 Invisible indication + one-to-one correspondence

[0077]

[0078] For another example, assuming that the high-level identifier association information is configured as shown in Table 3, the high-level identifier association information (or high-level identifier distinguishing information) may include a single information element, which uniformly adapts all PLMNs in SIB1, and is specifically used to indicate whether the high-level identifier of any PLMN distinguishes the SCG state. For example, the value 0 of the information element is used to indicate that the high-level identifiers of all PLMNs distinguish the SCG state, and the value 1 is used to indicate that the high-level identifiers of all PLMNs do not distinguish the SCG state.

[0079] Table 3 One-to-many, global indication

[0080]

[0081] In one possible example, before the terminal indicates to the upper layer of the terminal that the high-level identifier does not exist or indicates that it is not necessary to display the high-level identifier, the method further includes: the terminal receives a third signaling from the network device; the high-level identifier indication information of the third signaling is used to instruct the terminal to indicate to the upper layer that the high-level identifier exists when the configured SCG is activated; or, the high-level identifier indication information is used to instruct the terminal to indicate to the upper layer that the high-level identifier does not exist or indicates that it is not necessary to display the high-level identifier when the configured SCG is inactive, deactivated, or asleep. Correspondingly, the method further includes: the network device sends a third signaling to the terminal.

[0082] The third signaling includes RRC signaling, such as RRC connection reconfiguration signaling, RRC connection recovery signaling, etc.

[0083] It can be seen that in this example, when the terminal is currently connected to the configured SCG, it is only necessary to indicate whether the configured SCG distinguishes the SCG status.

[0084] In addition, it should be noted that the order of the second signaling or the third signaling and the first signaling described in the embodiments of the present application can be carried out simultaneously or in parallel, such as the second signaling or the third signaling can be sent before the first signaling, or the second signaling or the third signaling can be sent later than the first signaling.

[0085] In one possible example, the first signaling indicates activation of the secondary cell group of the terminal; the method further includes: when the terminal detects that the radio link of the primary and secondary cells in the secondary cell group fails, it indicates to the upper layer that the high-level identifier does not exist or that the high-level identifier does not need to be displayed.

[0086] It can be seen that in this example, when the wireless link of the terminal primary and secondary cells fails, the system indicates to the upper layer that the high-level identifier does not exist or does not need to be displayed, thereby avoiding the situation where the corresponding high-level identifier is displayed even though the corresponding resources are not actually used, thereby improving accuracy.

[0087] In a possible example, before the terminal indicates to the upper layer of the terminal that the high-level identifier does not exist or indicates that the high-level identifier does not need to be displayed, the method also includes: the terminal determining that the SCG deactivation duration is greater than or equal to a preset duration.

[0088] The preset duration may be pre-set by a protocol or set by the network device.

[0089] It can be seen that in this example, the terminal executes subsequent steps only after determining that the SCG deactivation duration is greater than or equal to the preset duration, so that high-level indication control can be implemented for the deactivated SCG that exceeds the preset period within the preset time period.

[0090] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, the network device indicates to the terminal through the first signaling that the secondary cell group of the terminal is deactivated, so that the terminal can indicate to its own upper layer that the high-level identifier does not exist or that the high-level identifier does not need to be displayed. In this way, it can be avoided that when the UE configured with EN-DC does not actually use the mobile communication network service corresponding to the high-level identifier, the high-level identifier of the mobile communication network service is displayed, thereby more accurately controlling the terminal to display the high-level identifier.

[0091] The embodiment of the present application provides a high-level identification processing device, which can be a terminal. Specifically, the high-level identification processing device is used to execute the steps executed by the terminal in the above high-level identification processing method. The high-level identification processing device provided in the embodiment of the present application may include modules corresponding to the corresponding steps.

[0092] The embodiment of the present application can divide the functional modules of the processing device of the high-level identification according to the above method example. For example, each functional module can be divided corresponding to each function, or two or more functions can be integrated into one processing module. The above integrated module can be implemented in the form of hardware or in the form of software functional modules. The division of modules in the embodiment of the present application is schematic and is only a logical function division. There may be other division methods in actual implementation.

[0093] In the case of dividing each functional module into corresponding functional modules, Figure 3 A possible structural diagram of a high-level identification processing device involved in the above embodiment is shown. Figure 3 As shown, a high-level identification processing device 3 is applied to a terminal; the device comprises:

[0094] A receiving unit 30, configured to receive a first signaling from a network device, where the first signaling is used to instruct the terminal to deactivate a secondary cell group;

[0095] The indicating unit 31 is configured to indicate to a higher layer of the terminal that the higher layer identifier does not exist or that it is not necessary to display the higher layer identifier.

[0096] In a possible example, the first signaling includes any one of the following:

[0097] Radio resource control RRC connection reconfiguration signaling, handover signaling, RRC connection recovery signaling, preset dedicated signaling.

[0098] In a possible example, the receiving unit 30 is further configured to receive a second signaling from the network device; the high-layer identification association information of the second signaling includes at least one high-layer identification indication information;

[0099] The at least one high-level identification indication information is used to instruct the terminal to indicate to the high-level layer the existence of the high-level identification when the secondary cell group is activated; or, the high-level identification indication information is used to instruct the terminal to indicate to the high-level layer the absence of the high-level identification or the need to display the high-level identification when the secondary cell group is inactive, deactivated or sleeping.

[0100] In a possible example, the high-layer identifier association information includes multiple PLMN identifiers in the PLMN list and multiple high-layer identifier indication information corresponding one-to-one to the multiple PLMN identifiers.

[0101] In a possible example, the high-layer identity association information includes a plurality of high-layer identity indication information corresponding one-to-one to a plurality of PLMNs in the PLMN list.

[0102] In a possible example, the high-layer identity association information includes single high-layer identity indication information corresponding to multiple PLMNs in the PLMN list.

[0103] In a possible example, the second signaling includes system message block SIB signaling.

[0104] In a possible example, the receiving unit 30 is also used to receive a third signaling from the network device; the high-level identification indication information of the third signaling is used to instruct the terminal to indicate to the high-level layer that the high-level identification exists when the configured SCG is activated; or, the high-level identification indication information is used to instruct the terminal to indicate to the high-level layer that the high-level identification does not exist or that the high-level identification does not need to be displayed when the configured SCG is inactive, deactivated or asleep.

[0105] In one possible example, the third signaling includes RRC signaling.

[0106] In a possible example, the first signaling indicates activation of the secondary cell group of the terminal; the indication unit 31 is further used to: upon detecting failure of the primary and secondary cell radio link in the secondary cell group, indicate to the upper layer that the high-level identifier does not exist or that the high-level identifier does not need to be displayed.

[0107] In a possible example, before the terminal indicates to the upper layer of the terminal that the upper layer identifier does not exist or indicates that the upper layer identifier does not need to be displayed, the terminal determines that the SCG deactivation duration is greater than or equal to a preset duration.

[0108] In the case of using an integrated unit, a structural diagram of another high-level identification processing device provided in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 4 As shown. Figure 4 In the embodiment, the high-level identification processing device 4 includes: a processing module 40 and a communication module 41. The processing module 40 is used to control and manage the actions of the high-level identification processing device, for example, the steps performed by the receiving unit 30 and the instruction unit 31, and / or other processes for performing the technology described herein. The communication module 41 is used to support the interaction between the high-level identification processing device and other devices. Figure 4As shown, the high-level identification processing device may further include a storage module 42, and the storage module 42 is used to store program codes and data of the high-level identification processing device.

[0109] Among them, the processing module 40 can be a processor or a controller, for example, a central processing unit (CPU), a general processor, a digital signal processor (DSP), an ASIC, an FPGA or other programmable logic device, a transistor logic device, a hardware component or any combination thereof. It can implement or execute various exemplary logic blocks, modules and circuits described in conjunction with the disclosure of this application. The processor can also be a combination that implements a computing function, such as a combination of one or more microprocessors, a combination of a DSP and a microprocessor, and the like.
