[0138] At present, the measurement relaxation mechanism of the terminal RRM in the non-connected state is introduced in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 16 (R16) standard version. If the terminal supports relaxation measurement and the system information block 2 (SIB2) message carries relaxMeasurement, the terminal correspondingly executes the following measurement relaxation mechanism:
[0139] 1. If only the "low mobility" criterion (low MobilityEvaluation) is configured in relaxMeasurement, and the terminal needs to wait for at least a period of time T after completing cell selection or cell reselection. SearchDeltaP Normal RRM measurements are performed within the system. Then, when the terminal meets the "low mobility" criterion, the terminal performs relaxed RRM measurements for the same-frequency / adjacent hetero-frequency / hetero-system cells according to the RSRP and / or RSRQ measurement values.
[0140] 2. If only the "terminal is not located at the cell edge" criterion (cell Edge Evaluation) is configured in relaxMeasurement, then when the terminal meets the "terminal is not located at the cell edge" criterion, the terminal performs relaxed RRM measurement for the same frequency / adjacent hetero-frequency / hetero-system cell according to the RSRP measurement value;
[0141] 3. If both the "low mobility" criterion and the "terminal is not at the cell edge" criterion are configured in relaxMeasurement, and the network indicates that the use conditions of these two criteria are "and", then when the terminal meets these two criteria at the same time, the terminal starts relaxed RRM measurement for the neighboring cell;
[0142] 4. If both the "low mobility" criterion and the "terminal is not at the cell edge" criterion are configured in relaxMeasurement, and the network indicates that the use condition of these two criteria is "or", then when the terminal meets any one of the two criteria, the terminal starts relaxed RRM measurement for the neighboring cell.
[0143] Among them, when the measurement result of the terminal meets (Srxlev Ref –Srxlev) SearchDeltaP When , the terminal meets the "low mobility" criterion. Here, Srxlev is the RSRP measurement value, S SearchDeltaP Configured by the network; Srxlev Ref Configuration: When the terminal selects or reselects a new cell, or when (Srxlev-Srxlev Ref )>0, or at T SearchDeltaP If the measurement relaxation criteria are not met within the specified time, the terminal will Ref Set to the Srxlev value of the current serving cell. When the measurement result of the terminal satisfies Srxlev>S SearchThresholdP , and in the network configuration S SearchThresholdQ In the case of SearchThresholdQ When , the terminal meets the criterion of "the terminal is not located at the edge of the cell".
[0144] However, the above measurement relaxation mechanism is only applicable to terminals in a non-connected state. Based on this, the terminal measurement method and the configuration method of terminal measurement provided in the embodiment of the present application enable the terminal to perform measurement relaxation in a connected state, and further, when the terminal performs measurement relaxation in a connected state, it performs measurement relaxation fallback and / or measurement resource sharing.
[0145] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0146] The present application embodiment provides a terminal measurement method, which is applied to a terminal, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:
[0147] Step 101: The terminal receives a measurement relaxation signaling sent by a base station.
[0148] The measurement relaxation signaling includes at least one set of measurement relaxation criteria, and each set of measurement relaxation criteria includes at least one set of measurement relaxation criteria.
[0149] Step 102: When the terminal satisfies at least one set of measurement relaxation criteria in the at least one set of measurement relaxation criteria set, the terminal performs measurement relaxation in a connected state.
[0150] Step 103: The terminal performs measurement relaxation fallback when performing measurement relaxation according to the configuration sent by the base station when the set conditions are met.
[0151] In actual application, the terminal determines whether to perform measurement relaxation in the connected state by evaluating the measurement relaxation criterion applicable to the terminal in the connected state sent by the base station.
[0152] Reference Figure 2 , the terminal performs measurement relaxation in the connected state, including:
[0153] 1. The terminal receives a measurement relaxation signaling sent by a base station; the measurement relaxation signaling includes at least one set of measurement relaxation criteria sets, and each set of measurement relaxation criteria sets at least one set of measurement relaxation criteria;
[0154] 2. The terminal performs evaluation according to the at least one set of measurement relaxation criteria to obtain an evaluation result;
[0155] 3. When the evaluation result indicates that the terminal satisfies at least one set of measurement relaxation criteria in at least one set of measurement relaxation criteria, the terminal performs measurement relaxation in a connected state;
[0156] 4. When the evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not satisfy any set of measurement relaxation criteria in the measurement relaxation criterion set, the terminal does not perform measurement relaxation, and the terminal performs normal measurement.
[0157] In actual application, the base station sends at least one set of measurement relaxation criteria through measurement relaxation signaling, and each set of measurement relaxation criteria in each set of measurement relaxation criteria includes at least one of the following information:
[0158] measuring relaxation judgment parameters;
[0159] The maximum measurement relaxation factor for the terminal to perform measurement relaxation, that is, the maximum multiple of measurement relaxation that can be performed by the terminal after the measurement relaxation criterion is met;
[0160] The configuration granularity of the measurement relaxation signaling includes the configuration granularity based on the terminal (per-UE) or the configuration granularity based on the cell (per-cell);
[0161] The terminal type to which the measurement relaxation criterion applies is used to indicate the terminal type to which the measurement relaxation criterion applies, such as a low-cost terminal, an enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) terminal, etc.
[0162] The measurement relaxation judgment parameter includes at least one of the following:
[0163] a first duration; the terminal judging, within the first duration, whether the terminal satisfies a corresponding measurement relaxation criterion;
[0164] A first threshold value; the first threshold value represents the maximum value of the RSRP change of the terminal within the first duration;
[0165] A second threshold value; the second threshold value represents the maximum value of the SINR change of the terminal within the first duration;
[0166] A third threshold value; the third threshold value represents the maximum value of the BLER change of the terminal within the first duration;
[0167] A fourth threshold; the fourth threshold represents a minimum value of the RSRP measurement value of the terminal within the first duration;
[0168] A fifth threshold; the fifth threshold represents a minimum value of the measured SINR value of the terminal within the first duration;
[0169] A sixth threshold value; the sixth threshold value represents the maximum value of the BLER measurement value of the terminal within the first duration.
[0170] The first duration can be understood as the evaluation duration for the terminal to evaluate whether the measurement relaxation criterion is met. In actual application, the base station configures one or more sets of measurement relaxation criteria for the terminal by configuring the measurement relaxation judgment parameter.
[0171] Exemplarily, a set of measurement relaxation criteria includes: measurement relaxation criterion 1, measurement relaxation criterion 2, and measurement relaxation criterion 3. The base station configures the following measurement relaxation judgment parameters for the measurement relaxation criterion 1:
[0172] First duration;
[0173] RSRP threshold, used to indicate the maximum value of RSRP change of the terminal within the first duration;
[0174] The SINR threshold is used to indicate the maximum value of the SINR change of the terminal within the first time period;
[0175] RSRP change rate threshold, used to indicate the threshold of the maximum / average rate of RSRP change of the terminal within the first duration;
[0176] The SINR change rate threshold is used to indicate a threshold of a maximum / average rate at which the SINR of the terminal changes within a first duration.
[0177] It can be understood that the measurement relaxation criterion 1 of the terminal in the connected state adds relevant evaluation criteria on the change of cell quality on the basis of the "low mobility" criterion.
[0178] The base station configures the following measurement relaxation judgment parameters for measurement relaxation criterion 2:
[0179] First duration;
[0180] SINR threshold, used to indicate that measurement relaxation can be performed only when the SINR measured by the terminal is higher than the SINR threshold;
[0181] BLER threshold, used to indicate that the measurement relaxation can be performed only when the BLER measured by the terminal is lower than the BLER threshold;
[0182] RSRP change rate threshold, used to indicate the threshold of the maximum / average rate of RSRP change of the terminal within the first duration;
[0183] SINR change rate threshold, used to indicate the threshold of the maximum / average rate of SINR change of the terminal within the first duration;
[0184] The BLER change rate threshold is used to indicate a threshold of a maximum / average rate of BLER change of a terminal within a first duration.
[0185] It can be understood that the first measurement relaxation criterion of the terminal in the connected state adds relevant evaluation criteria on the change of cell quality on the basis of the criterion of "the terminal is not located at the edge of the cell".
[0186] The base station configures the following measurement relaxation judgment parameters for measurement relaxation criterion three:
[0187] First duration;
[0188] RSRP change rate threshold, used to indicate the threshold of the maximum / average rate of RSRP change of the terminal within the first duration;
[0189] SINR change rate threshold, used to indicate the threshold of the maximum / average rate of SINR change of the terminal within the first duration;
[0190] The BLER change rate threshold is used to indicate a threshold of a maximum / average rate of BLER change of a terminal within a first duration.
[0191] In actual application, before the base station sends the measurement relaxation signaling, in order to better assist the base station in configuring the measurement relaxation criteria suitable for the terminal, so as to achieve better terminal communication performance or better realize terminal energy saving, the terminal can also report the measurement relaxation auxiliary information to the base station.
[0192] Based on this, in one embodiment, before the terminal receives the measurement relaxation signaling sent by the base station, the method further includes at least one of the following:
[0193] Sending a second request to the base station; the second request is used to request the base station to send a measurement relaxation criterion;
[0194] Sending third information to the base station; the third information represents a configuration suggestion of the terminal for a measurement relaxation criterion.
[0195] The configuration suggestion for the measurement relaxation criterion is, that is, the configuration suggestion value of the terminal for the relevant parameters in the measurement relaxation criterion.
[0196] In the related art, the measurement relaxation of a terminal in a non-connected state needs to meet at least one of the "low mobility" criterion and the "terminal is not located at the edge of the cell" criterion. However, since the terminal measures the quality of the service cell / service link / service beam in the connected state, higher requirements are placed on the communication capability of the terminal, and the measurement relaxation criterion in the non-connected state is not applicable to the terminal in the connected state. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, the terminal performs an evaluation based on the measurement relaxation criterion set in the measurement relaxation signaling sent by the base station, and performs measurement relaxation in the connected state when at least one set of measurement relaxation criteria in the at least one set of measurement relaxation criterion set is met. In this way, the terminal can obtain energy-saving gains by extending the measurement cycle in the connected state, thereby improving the communication performance of the terminal.
[0197] In the related art, when a terminal performs RLM or BFD, if the measurement period is relaxed by K times, then correspondingly, the interval for reporting valid measurement results will also be relaxed by K times. In this case:
[0198] For RLM scenarios, if link quality degradation causes link failure, then compared to the normal measurement mode, when the link quality is lower than Q for a long time, out In this case, the time it takes for the terminal to determine whether to start the T310 timer will also be extended by K times, which will cause the terminal to be unable to perform link failure and reconstruction in a timely manner, and be in a low-quality link service state for a long time, resulting in reduced link performance and throughput. For BFD, if beam quality deteriorates (such as beam obstruction) and causes beam failure, then compared to the normal measurement mode, when the beam quality is lower than Q for a long time, the out-LRIn this case, the time it takes for the terminal to detect beam failure will also be extended by K times, which will cause the terminal to be unable to perform beam failure and reselect in time, and be in a low-quality beam service state for a long time, resulting in reduced communication performance and throughput. In addition, when the terminal starts to perform measurement relaxation, the link / beam quality is very good, for example, the SINR value of the link mapping is higher than a certain threshold, and the link / beam quality may change during the measurement relaxation process. In the case of unstable link quality, the terminal starts the T310 timer due to poor link quality for a period of time, and stops the T310 timer because the terminal reports N311 synchronization indications during the T310 timer. At this time, the wireless link quality is considered to be unstable. If the terminal continues to perform measurement relaxation after the T310 timer stops, it may be impossible to accurately judge the link status in a timely manner due to measurement relaxation. In the case of unstable beam quality, the terminal reports a beam failure instance indication (BeamFailure Instance Indication) due to poor link quality for a period of time. However, due to changes in the beam quality itself and the configuration of the beam failure instance counter (beamFailureInstanceMaxCount) and the beam failure detection timer (beamFailureDetetionTimer), the beam failure recovery process is not triggered. At this time, the beam quality is considered to be unstable. If the terminal continues to perform measurement relaxation after the beam failure detection timer expires, it may be impossible to accurately judge the beam change status in a timely manner due to measurement relaxation.
[0199] That is to say, when the terminal performs measurement relaxation in the connected state, the reporting period of the effective measurement results will be relaxed accordingly, resulting in the inability to reflect the change status of the link performance in a timely manner. If the link / beam quality deteriorates during the measurement relaxation period, the time for the terminal to enter the link / beam failure state will be extended accordingly, and the terminal will stay on the link / beam with poor quality for a long time, resulting in a decrease in communication performance. If the link / beam quality changes during the measurement relaxation period, the unstable link quality may not be reflected in a timely manner.
[0200] Based on this, in an embodiment of the present application, when the terminal performs measurement relaxation in a connected state, measurement relaxation fallback is performed when the set conditions are met according to the configuration sent by the base station.
[0201] In actual application, the terminal performs different measurement relaxation fallback according to the configuration sent by the base station and in different scenarios. The following describes the measurement relaxation fallback mechanism for the two scenarios of RLM and BFD:
[0202] First, for the RLM scenario, in the related technology, when a terminal in the connected state performs RLM, the signal quality of the RLM reference signal (RLM-RS, Radio Link Monitor Reference Signal) is used to determine whether the serving cell is in a synchronized state or out-of-sync state. out When the terminal reports an out-of-sync indication (out-of-sync) to the upper layer, and starts the out-of-sync counter. When the out-of-sync counter records N310 out-of-sync indications in succession, the terminal starts the radio link failure timer T310 configured by the network. During the T310 timing, if the terminal reports N311 synchronization indications (in-sync) in succession, the timing of T310 is stopped; if T310 expires, the terminal reports the radio link failure, and then the terminal re-establishes the radio resource control (RRC) connection. When the terminal is in discontinuous reception (DRX) mode, if the DRX paging cycle (DRX_cycle_length) is less than or equal to 320ms, the minimum time interval for the out-of-sync indication or synchronization indication reported by the terminal to the upper layer is max(10ms,K×DRX_cycle_length,K×T RLM-RS,M ), where K is the relaxation multiple of the measurement period in DRX measurement mode. Currently, K = 1.5, T RLM-RS,M Characterizes the period of the RLM reference signal. If DRX_cycle_length is greater than 320ms, the minimum time interval for the terminal to report an out-of-sync indication or a synchronization indication to the higher layer is DRX_cycle_length.
[0203] In actual application, if the configuration value of the N310 counter does not change when measurement relaxation is performed, the judgment time before the terminal enters the link failure process will be extended compared to normal measurement, resulting in link failure and untimely link reselection, and reduced communication performance; if the base station reconfigures the N310 counter when measurement relaxation is performed, if the link quality is unstable at this time and the terminal switches between measurement relaxation and normal measurement frequently, reconfiguring the N310 counter will greatly increase the network signaling burden.
[0204] Based on this, the design of the measurement relaxation fallback mechanism in the RLM scenario is as follows:
[0205] In one embodiment, the terminal performs measurement relaxation fallback when performing measurement relaxation according to the configuration sent by the base station when the set condition is met, including:
[0206] The terminal receives a first configuration sent by the base station; the first configuration includes a first counter and a corresponding first count value;
[0207] When the terminal performs RLM and performs measurement relaxation, the terminal counts the number of out-of-sync indications continuously reported by the terminal to the higher layer based on the first counter, and falls back to performing normal measurement when the first counter counts to the first count value.
[0208] Here, the base station sends the first configuration to the base station through RRC signaling, etc., to configure a new counter and a corresponding count value for the terminal. When the measurement relaxation multiple is 2, the count value of the N310 counter is 6, and the count value of the first counter N310-PS is 3, Figure 3 From top to bottom, the start of the T310 timer in the normal measurement mode, the use of the N310 counter to record the out-of-sync indication until the T310 timer is started when the measurement relaxation is performed, and the use of the first counter N310-PS newly configured by the base station to record the out-of-sync indication until the T310 timer is started when the measurement relaxation is performed are respectively shown. It can be seen that by configuring the new counter N310-PS, the start time of T310 will not be delayed accordingly due to the relaxation of the measurement cycle, and the measurement relaxation is performed in the connected state, and the change of link performance can still be reflected in a timely manner.
[0209] In one embodiment, the method further comprises:
[0210] While the terminal falls back to performing normal measurement, the terminal starts a radio link failure timer.
[0211] Here, the corresponding application examples are given as follows:
[0212] 1. The base station configures a new counter N310-PS and a corresponding count value for the terminal to be used in the RLM scenario;
[0213] 2. The terminal in the connected state performs measurement relaxation. If the link quality decreases and the link quality is less than or equal to Qout, the terminal starts the counter N310-PS to count the number of out-of-sync indications. If N310-PS out-of-sync indications are reported continuously, the timer T310 is started.
[0214] Here, while the terminal falls back to performing normal measurement, the terminal starts the radio link failure timer T310. On the basis that the terminal falls back to performing normal measurement and starts the radio link failure timer, in one embodiment, the first configuration further includes a first timer and a corresponding first timing value; the method further includes:
[0215] When the terminal falls back to performing normal measurement and the state of the radio link failure timer is changed from on to off, the terminal starts the first timer and performs normal measurement before the first timer reaches the first timing value.
[0216] In one embodiment, the method further comprises:
[0217] When the first timer reaches the first timing value, the terminal evaluates whether to perform measurement relaxation in a connected state according to a measurement relaxation criterion set sent by the base station.
[0218] Here, the first configuration sent by the base station also includes a new T310-PS timer. In actual application, when the terminal stops the T310 timer due to continuously reporting N311 synchronization indications to the upper layer, the terminal starts the T310-PS timer, and during the timing of the T310-PS timer, the terminal performs normal measurement and reporting. When the T310-PS timer expires, the terminal evaluates and selects whether to perform measurement relaxation according to the link quality, etc.
[0219] Here, the corresponding application examples are given as follows:
[0220] 1. The base station configures a new timer T310-PS and a corresponding count value for the terminal to be used in the RLM scenario;
[0221] 2. When the terminal stops the T310 timer due to receiving N311 in-sync indications continuously, the terminal starts the T310-PS timer, and during the counting of the timer, the terminal performs normal measurement and reporting.
[0222] 3. When the T310-PS timer expires, the terminal determines whether to perform measurement relaxation based on the link quality, etc.
[0223] In one embodiment, the first configuration further includes a second counter and a corresponding second count value; and the method further includes:
[0224] When the terminal falls back to performing normal measurement and the radio link failure timer is not started, the terminal counts the number of synchronization indications continuously reported by the terminal to the higher layer based on the second counter, and performs normal measurement before the second counter counts to the second count value.
[0225] In one embodiment, the method further comprises:
[0226] When the second counter counts to the second count value, the terminal evaluates whether to perform measurement relaxation in a connected state according to at least one set of measurement relaxation criterion set sent by the base station.
[0227] Here, the first configuration sent by the base station also includes a new counter N311-in-PS. When the terminal does not start the T310 timer, the terminal starts the N311-in-PS counter to record the number of synchronization indications continuously reported to the upper layer, and during the counting period of the N311-in-PS counter, the terminal performs normal measurement and reporting. After the terminal continuously reports N311-in-PS synchronization indications to the upper layer, the terminal evaluates and chooses whether to perform measurement relaxation based on the link quality, etc. When the measurement relaxation multiple is 2, the count value of the N310 counter is 6, the count value of the second counter N311-in-PS is 6, and the count value of the first counter N310-out-PS is 2, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 As shown, in the upper figure, the terminal first performs measurement relaxation. After reporting 2 out-of-sync indications, N311-out-PS reaches the count value, and the terminal falls back to performing normal measurement. When the continuously reported out-of-sync indications reach the count value of N310, the T310 timer starts; in the lower figure, the terminal first performs measurement relaxation. After reporting 2 out-of-sync indications, N311-out-PS reaches the count value, and the terminal falls back to performing normal measurement. At this time, since there are only 4 out-of-sync indications reported continuously and the count value of N310 is not reached, the T310 timer will not start. Thereafter, if the terminal reports 6 synchronization indications again, the terminal can evaluate the measurement relaxation criterion and determine whether to perform measurement relaxation.
[0228] Here, the corresponding application examples are given as follows:
[0229] 1. The base station configures the new counters N310-in-PS and N310-out-PS and the corresponding count values for the terminal to be used in the RLM scenario;
[0230] 2. The terminal in the connected state performs measurement relaxation. If the link quality decreases, the link quality is less than or equal to Q out , the terminal starts the counter N310-out-PS to count the number of out-of-sync indications. If N310-out-PS out-of-sync indications are reported continuously, the terminal falls back to performing normal measurement.
[0231] 3. If the terminal falls back to performing normal measurement and the T310 timer is not started, the terminal starts the counter N310-in-PS to count the number of synchronization indications. If N310-in-PS synchronization indications are reported continuously, the terminal determines whether to perform measurement relaxation.
[0232] For BFD scenarios, in related technologies, when a terminal in a connected state performs BFD, the signal quality of the BFD reference signal (BFD-RS, Bidirectional Forwarding Detection Reference Signal) is used to determine whether the current beam can be used as the service beam of the terminal. out-LR , the terminal physical layer reports a beam failure instance indication (Beam Failure Instance Indication) to the MAC layer, and starts the beam failure detection timer (beamFailureDetetionTimer), and the count value (BFI_COUNTER) corresponding to the beam failure instance indication is increased by 1; during the operation of the beam failure detection timer, if the MAC layer receives a new beam failure instance indication, BFI_COUNTER is increased by 1, and the beam failure detection timer is restarted. If BFI_COUNTER accumulates to the maximum count value (beamFailureInstanceMaxCoun) corresponding to the beam failure instance indication, the terminal triggers the beam failure recovery process; if the MAC layer still does not receive a new beam failure instance indication after the beam failure detection timer times out, the BFI_COUNTER is reset to 0. When the terminal is in DRX mode, if DRX_cycle_length is less than or equal to 320ms, the minimum time interval for the terminal physical layer to report the beam failure instance indication to the MAC layer is Max(1.5×DRX_cycle_length,1.5×T SSB-RS,M ), where T SSB-RS,M Characterizes the period of the SSB signal used for BDF. If DRX_cycle_length is greater than 320ms, the minimum time interval for the terminal physical layer to report the beam failure instance indication to the MAC layer is DRX_cycle_length.
[0233] In actual application, if the configuration value of beamFailureInstanceMaxCount does not change when performing measurement relaxation, then compared with normal measurement, the judgment time before the terminal enters the beam failure recovery process will be extended, resulting in untimely beam failure recovery and degraded communication performance; if the base station reconfigures beamFailureInstanceMaxCount when performing measurement relaxation, then if the beam quality is unstable at this time and the terminal switches between measurement relaxation and normal measurement frequently, reconfiguring beamFailureInstanceMaxCount will greatly increase the network signaling burden.
[0234] Based on this, the design of the measurement relaxation fallback mechanism in the BFD scenario is as follows:
[0235] In one embodiment, the terminal performs measurement relaxation fallback when performing measurement relaxation according to the configuration sent by the base station when the set condition is met, including:
[0236] The terminal receives a second configuration sent by the base station;
[0237] The second configuration includes a third counter and a corresponding third count value. When the terminal performs beam failure detection BFD and performs measurement relaxation, the terminal counts the number of beam failure instance indications reported by the physical layer to the medium access control MAC layer based on the third counter, and falls back to performing normal measurement when the third counter counts to the third count value; or,
[0238] The second configuration includes a first parameter. When the terminal performs BFD and performs measurement relaxation, the terminal counts the number of beam failure instance indications reported by the physical layer to the MAC layer based on the BFI_COUNTER counter, and falls back to performing normal measurement when the BFI_COUNTER counter counts to the first parameter.
[0239] Here, the base station sends a second configuration to the base station through RRC signaling, etc., to configure a new counter and a corresponding count value for the terminal, or to configure a new count value for the BFI_COUNTER counter. When the number of beam failure instance indications reported by the physical layer of the terminal to the MAC layer reaches the count value corresponding to the new counter or reaches the new count value of the BFI_COUNTER counter, the terminal falls back to performing normal measurement.
[0240] In one embodiment, the method further comprises:
[0241] While the terminal falls back to performing normal measurements, the terminal triggers a beam failure recovery procedure.
[0242] In one embodiment, the second configuration further includes a second timer and a corresponding second timing value; and the method further includes:
[0243] The terminal starts the second timer when triggering the beam failure recovery process, and performs normal measurement before the second timer reaches the second timing value.
[0244] In one embodiment, the method further comprises:
[0245] When the second timer reaches the second timing value, the terminal evaluates whether to perform measurement relaxation in a connected state according to a measurement relaxation criterion set sent by the base station.
[0246] Here, the second timer can be understood as a new beamFailureDetetionTimer-PS timer. In actual application, during the timing of the beamFailureDetetionTimer-PS timer, the terminal performs normal measurement and reporting. When the beamFailureDetetionTimer-PS timer expires, the terminal evaluates and chooses whether to perform measurement relaxation based on link quality, etc.
[0247] In one embodiment, the second configuration further includes a third timer and a corresponding third timing value; and the method further includes:
[0248] After the terminal falls back to performing normal measurement and the beam failure detection timer expires, the terminal starts the third timer and performs normal measurement before the third timer reaches the third timing value.
[0249] In one embodiment, the method further comprises:
[0250] When the third timer reaches the third timing value, the terminal evaluates whether to perform measurement relaxation in the connected state according to the measurement relaxation criterion set sent by the base station.
[0251] For example, when BFI_COUNTER accumulates to beamFailureInstanceMaxCount-revert, the terminal falls back to performing normal measurement. The terminal falls back to performing normal measurement, and when beamFailureDetetionTimer expires, the beamFailureDetetionTimer-PS timer is started, and when the beamFailureDetetionTimer-PS timer is valid, the terminal performs normal measurement. After the beamFailureDetetionTimer-PS timer expires, the terminal evaluates whether to perform measurement relaxation in the connected state according to the measurement relaxation criterion set sent by the base station.
[0252] In actual application, the terminal in the connected state needs to measure the serving cell, the same frequency neighboring area, the different frequency neighboring area, and the different system neighboring area based on the synchronization signal block (SSB) resource. When the terminal relaxes the measurement in the connected state, the terminal will reduce the measurement frequency and stop measuring certain SSB resources. Based on this, in one embodiment, the method also includes:
[0253] The terminal performs measurement resource sharing when performing measurement relaxation.
[0254] Here, the terminal optimizes the terminal mobility performance and network optimization by performing measurement resource sharing when performing measurement relaxation. When the terminal performs measurement relaxation in the connected state, it will skip measuring some SSB resources and / or channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS, Channel-State Information Reference Signals) resources. When the reference signal used for serving cell measurement is not used for measurement, if the terminal has no energy saving requirements at this time and does not need to perform more measurements on neighboring cells, then the relaxed measurement resources can be used for RRM measurements of neighboring cells, thereby enhancing the terminal's mobility measurement capability and enhancing network coverage.
[0255] See also Figure 5 , from top to bottom, respectively show the situations where the terminal performs normal measurement in the connected state, the terminal performs measurement relaxation in the connected state, and the terminal performs measurement resource sharing when performing measurement relaxation in the connected state. It can be seen that compared with the normal measurement performed by the terminal in the connected state, when the terminal performs measurement relaxation in the connected state, there are SSB resources that are not measured. Through the measurement resource sharing mechanism, this part of the SSB resources that are not measured can be used to measure neighboring cells, thereby increasing the mobility energy capability of the terminal and enhancing network coverage.
[0256] In one embodiment, when performing measurement relaxation, the terminal performs measurement resource sharing, including:
[0257] The terminal receives a second parameter sent by the base station; the second parameter is used to update a measurement requirement for neighboring cell measurement.
[0258] Here, the terminal performs neighboring cell measurement based on the updated measurement requirement.
[0259] The second parameter sent by the base station is used for updating the measurement requirement indicator of the RRM, including at least one of the following:
[0260] Intra-frequency neighbor cell measurement enhancement factor, used to update the intra-frequency neighbor cell measurement requirements, such as P-ENH-intra_frequency;
[0261] Inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement enhancement factor, used to update inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement requirements, such as P-ENH-inter_frequency;
[0262] Inter-system neighbor cell measurement enhancement factor, used to update the inter-system neighbor cell measurement requirements, such as P-ENH-inter_RAT.
[0263] In actual application, if the terminal receives the above measurement requirement enhancement factor, when the terminal performs co-frequency neighboring area and / or hetero-frequency neighboring area and / or hetero-system neighboring area measurement, the updated measurement requirement is used to perform neighboring area measurement. The terminal's neighboring area measurement interval, PSS / SSS detection interval, and time index detection interval are P-ENH-intra_frequency / P-ENH-inter_frequency / P-ENH-inter_RAT times before measurement enhancement, or the terminal uses the value of the measurement enhancement factor to update the Kp value in the measurement requirement.
[0264] In one embodiment, before the terminal receives the second parameter sent by the base station, the method further includes:
[0265] Sending a first request to the base station; the first request is used to request at least one of the following neighboring area measurement enhancements:
[0266] Enhanced co-frequency adjacent cell measurement;
[0267] Enhanced inter-frequency neighboring cell measurement;
[0268] Enhanced heterogeneous system neighboring cell measurements.
[0269] The first request carries at least one of the following information:
[0270] When the terminal performs measurement relaxation, the first relaxation factor adopted by RLM and / or the second relaxation factor adopted by BFD are performed.
[0271] In one embodiment, the first request further carries at least one of the following:
[0272] First information: The first information indicates that the terminal is performing measurement relaxation;
[0273] Second information: The second information represents the power level of the terminal.
[0274] The second information may represent the power level of the terminal, for example, whether the terminal is at low power, medium power or high power, or the second information may represent the remaining power percentage of the terminal.
[0275] The application examples of measurement resource sharing are as follows:
[0276] 1. The terminal reports to the base station first information indicating that the terminal is performing measurement relaxation, a first relaxation factor used by the terminal for performing RLM when performing measurement relaxation, and a first request for requesting same-frequency neighboring area measurement enhancement;
[0277] 2. The base station sends a measurement enhancement factor to the terminal for updating the measurement of the same-frequency neighboring cell;
[0278] 3. The terminal updates the RRM measurement requirements for the co-frequency neighboring cells based on the measurement enhancement factor sent by the base station.
[0279] In this way, the terminal requests the base station to configure new RRM measurement requirements by reporting its own status, thereby further enhancing the mobility energy capability and network coverage of the terminal.
[0280] The embodiment of the present application provides a terminal measurement method and a terminal measurement configuration method, wherein, based on the measurement relaxation criterion in the connected state, the terminal can obtain energy-saving gains by extending the measurement cycle in the connected state; by introducing measurement auxiliary information, the base station can be assisted to issue measurement relaxation criteria that are more suitable for terminal characteristics and network environment characteristics, which is conducive to the terminal to obtain better communication performance and / or energy-saving performance; the designed measurement relaxation fallback mechanism can also enable the terminal to switch the effective link or effective beam in time during the RLM or BFD measurement process, thereby improving the communication performance of the terminal; by introducing a new counter / parameter when relaxing the measurement in the connected state, it is possible to avoid the link or beam switching delay being too long due to the extension of the reporting interval when performing measurement relaxation, and the terminal communication performance being reduced; by introducing a new timer when relaxing the measurement in the connected state, it is possible to avoid inaccurate measurement results due to unstable wireless link / beam quality when performing measurement relaxation, and at the same time avoid the situation where the link quality is unstable and does not meet the relaxation conditions; by introducing a new measurement requirement enhancement factor when relaxing the measurement in the connected state, the auxiliary terminal enhances the RRM capability of the terminal while performing measurement relaxation, improves network coverage, and enhances the terminal mobility capability.
