Furthermore, the character " / " generally indicates that the related objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0045] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions related to the embodiments of the present application are described below.

[0046] With the pursuit of speed, latency, high-speed mobility, energy efficiency and the diversity and complexity of services in future life, the 3GPP (3 rd The 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) international standards organization has begun developing 5G. The main application scenarios of 5G are: enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC), and massive machine-type communications (mMTC).

[0047] On the one hand, eMBB still aims to provide users with multimedia content, services, and data, and demand for this is growing rapidly. On the other hand, since eMBB may be deployed in different scenarios, such as indoors, in urban areas, and in rural areas, its capabilities and requirements vary significantly. Therefore, it cannot be generalized and requires detailed analysis based on specific deployment scenarios. Typical applications of URLLC include industrial automation, power automation, remote medical operations (surgery), and traffic safety. Typical characteristics of mMTC include high connection density, small data volumes, latency-insensitive services, low module costs, and long service life.

[0048] In the early days of NR deployment, achieving complete NR coverage was difficult, resulting in a typical network coverage model consisting of wide-area LTE coverage and isolated NR coverage. Furthermore, a large number of LTE deployments operate below 6 GHz, leaving limited spectrum available for 5G. Therefore, NR must explore spectrum applications above 6 GHz, despite the limited coverage and rapid signal fading in higher frequency bands. Furthermore, to protect mobile operators' initial investments in LTE, a tight interworking mode between LTE and NR was proposed.

[0049] RRC status

[0050] In order to reduce air interface signaling and quickly restore wireless connections and data services, 5G defines a new Radio Resource Control (RRC) state, namely the RRC inactive (RRC_INACTIVE) state. This state is different from the RRC idle (RRC_IDLE) state and the RRC active (RRC_ACTIVE) state.

[0051] 1) RRC_IDLE state (abbreviated as idle state): Mobility is based on UE cell selection and reselection, paging is initiated by the Core Network (CN), and the paging area is configured by the CN. There is no UE context on the base station side and no RRC connection exists.

[0052] 2) RRC_CONNECTED state (also called connected state): An RRC connection exists, and a UE context exists on both the base station and the UE. The network knows the UE's location at the cell level. Mobility is controlled by the network. Unicast data can be transmitted between the UE and the base station.

[0053] 3) RRC_INACTIVE state (abbreviated as inactive state): Mobility is based on UE cell selection and reselection, there is a connection between CN and NR, the UE context exists on a certain base station, paging is triggered by RAN, and the RAN-based paging area is managed by RAN. The network side knows the UE location based on the RAN paging area level.

[0054] Early measurement

[0055] The network cannot configure Carrier Aggregation (CA) or Multi-RAT Dual Connectivity (MR-DC) in the first RRC Connection Reconfiguration message because the network has not yet obtained the terminal device's measurement results and cannot correctly configure CA or MR-DC for the terminal device. Generally, the first RRC Connection Reconfiguration message configures the measurement configuration, and the terminal device then performs measurements based on the measurement configuration and reports the measurement results to the network. The network can then determine whether to configure the appropriate CA or MR-DC function based on the measurement results reported by the terminal device. In implementation, this process has a relatively large latency because it takes a period of time for the terminal device to start performing measurements and obtain the measurement results. Of course, the network can also configure CA or MR-DC in the first RRC Connection Reconfiguration message, but this only relies on blind configuration. To this end, in order to quickly configure or establish an SCell / SCG, the terminal device can be required to perform measurements in an idle or inactive state (i.e., Early measurement) and report the measurement results to the network after entering the connected state. The network can then quickly configure or establish the SCell / SCG based on the measurement results. On the NR side, the scenarios facing it are MR-DC configuration and CA configuration. The measurement frequencies that support configuration may include the NR frequency list and the E-UTRAN frequency list. Among them, the NR frequency list only supports the measurement of the synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal / PBCH Block, SSB), and does not support the measurement of the channel status indicator reference signal (CSI-RS). The measurement of SSB includes the measurement of synchronous SSB and the measurement of non-synchronous SSB. It should be noted that Earlymeasurement and cell selection reselection measurements are independent of each other.

[0056] The measurement report of Early measurement is used for terminal devices in idle or inactive states. Among them, the measurement configuration of Early measurement is configured through RRC dedicated signaling (such as RRC release message) or system broadcast message (such as System Information Block (SIB)). Among them, the measurement configuration in the system broadcast message is common to terminal devices in idle state and terminal devices in inactive state. If the terminal device receives the measurement configuration of Early measurement through RRC dedicated signaling, it overwrites the measurement configuration obtained in the system broadcast message. The source of the measurement configuration exists in several cases as shown in the following Table 1:

[0057]

[0058] Table 1

[0059] It should be noted that the NR / EUTRA carrier list cannot be split in the RRC dedicated signaling and SIB configuration, that is, it must be configured either entirely in the RRC dedicated signaling or entirely in the SIB.

[0060] It should be noted that for the configuration information of the synchronous SSB carrier, SIB2 or SIB4 (hereinafter referred to as SIB2 / 4) is reused, and the SSB configuration information in SIB2 / 4 will not be reconfigured in other SIBs.

[0061] It should be noted that the SSB measurement configuration used only for Early measurement purposes (also referred to as SSB configuration) can be configured in dedicated signaling (such as RRC release message) or in the SIB. If the terminal device obtains the SSB measurement configuration from dedicated signaling, the SSB measurement configuration configured in the SIB is ignored. If the terminal device does not obtain the SSB measurement configuration from the RRC dedicated signaling, the SSB measurement configuration is obtained from the SIB.

[0062] Early measurement reporting is based on a network request, and measurement results (including RSRP and RSRQ) reporting) can only be reported after access stratum (AS) security is activated. A cell indicates support for Early measurement reporting in a system broadcast message (via idleModeMeasurements). For example, an LTE cell indicates support for NR frequency measurement reporting via idleModeMeasurements in SIB2.

[0063] The terminal device will indicate the existence of the measurement results to the network side in the RRC Setup Complete (RRCSetupComplete) message or the RRC Recovery Complete (RRCResumeComplete) message.

[0064] Reference Figure 2-1 For terminal devices in idle and inactive states, the terminal device adds an indication message (i.e., idleMeasAvailable) in the RRC Setup Complete (RRCSetupComplet) message or the RRC Recovery Complete (RRCResumeComplete) message. This indication message is used to indicate that the terminal device has measurement results that can be reported. The network side then requests the measurement results through the UE Information Request (UEInformationRequest) message. The terminal device then reports the measurement results through the UE Information Response (UEInformationResponse) message.

[0065] Reference Figure 2-2 For an inactive terminal device, the measurement results can also be reported through an RRC Setup Complete (RRCSetupComplete) message or an RRC Recovery Complete (RRCResumeComplete) message.

[0066] It should be noted that the terminal device will delete the measurement results only after successfully sending the measurement results to the network side, that is, the terminal device will delete the measurement results only after sending the UE information response message, or the RRC establishment completion message, or the RRC recovery completion message.

[0067] Important parameters for controlling measurement execution include the measurement execution timer T331 and the measurement execution validity area list (validityAreaList). The timer T331 can only be configured through RRC dedicated signaling (such as the RRC release message) and cannot be configured through system broadcast messages (such as SIBs). The measurement execution validity area list (validityAreaList) can be configured in RRC dedicated signaling or in system broadcast messages (such as SIBs). It should be noted that a measurement execution validity area list consists of a frequency point and an optional Physical Cell Identity (PCI) list and does not include inter-RAT cells. The network side can configure a validity area list for the terminal device. If no configuration is made, it means that there is no measurement area restriction. If the terminal device leaves the Early measurement validity area, the timer T331 is stopped. If the timer times out or stops, the terminal device releases (i.e., deletes) the Early measurement measurement configuration. After the measurement configuration is released, it is up to the terminal device implementation to determine whether to continue idle / inactive early measurement according to the measurement configuration in the SIB. The conditions that trigger the termination of timer T331 also include: ① the terminal device receives an RRC setup message or an RRC resume message, ② the terminal device receives an RRC release message (applied in the two-step recovery process) and the RRC release message contains the early measurement configuration (i.e., measIdleConfig), and ③ the terminal device performs inter-RAT cell reselection.

[0068] If the RRC release message received by the terminal device (applied in the 2-step recovery process) does not include the Earlymeasurement measurement configuration (i.e., measIdleConfig), the terminal device continues to run timer T331 and continues to maintain the measurement configuration. Specifically, in the 2-step RRC recovery process, if the RRC release message does not include the idle state measurement configuration, it has no effect on the measurement configuration of the existing configuration, that is, timer T331 continues to run and the measurement configuration continues to be maintained. If the RRC release message includes the idle state measurement configuration, the existing configuration measurement configuration is completely replaced. If the RRC release message contains release indication information (i.e., releaseIdleMeasConfig), the idle state measurement configuration is released.

[0069] The terminal device starts Earlymeasurement if and only if measIdleDuration (i.e., timer T331) is configured.

[0070] If the target frequency point for measurement is an E-UTRAN frequency point, then if the terminal device does not support MR-DC between the current serving cell and the target frequency point, then the terminal device may stop measuring the target frequency point; if the target frequency point for measurement is an NR frequency point, then if the terminal device does not support MR-DC or CA between the current serving cell and the target frequency point, then the terminal device may stop measuring the target frequency point. If the SSB configuration for a certain frequency point configured by RRC dedicated signaling is different from the SSB configuration of the frequency point in the current serving cell broadcast, the terminal device is not required to measure the SSB of the frequency point. If the initial configuration of the SSB configuration of a certain frequency point is obtained from the system broadcast, but the cell reselects to another target cell, and the system broadcast message of the target cell does not contain the SSB configuration of the frequency point, then the terminal device may not perform the measurement of the frequency point.

[0071] If the terminal device reselects a cell and the system broadcast message of the cell does not include a measurement indication that the current cell supports Early measurement (ie, idleModeMeasurements), the terminal device may not perform Early measurement, but the timer T331 continues to run.

[0072] When the terminal device is in any cell selection state or camp on any cell state, the terminal device stop timer T331 will not be triggered, and the measurement configuration of Early measurement will not be deleted.

[0073] When the terminal device switches from the inactive state to the idle state, the timer T331 continues to run and the measurement configuration remains valid.

[0074] The parameters for early measurement configuration are as follows: For cell measurement result reporting, the network can configure the measurement quantity to be reported as one of the following: RSRP, RSRQ, or Both (representing both RSRP and RSRQ). Reported cell measurement results do not support Layer 3 (L3) filtering. For beam measurement result reporting, the network can configure the measurement quantity to be reported as one of the following: RSRP, RSRQ, or Both (representing both RSRP and RSRQ). Beam measurement result reporting can be in one of three formats: no beam measurement result, only the beam index, or both the beam index and beam measurement result. Beam measurement filtering depends on the terminal device implementation. The network can configure the measurement results for more than one beam to be reported. By default, the terminal device reports the measurement result for the strongest beam. The network also configures a threshold, limiting the reporting of only beam measurement results above this threshold. Measurement results are sorted by RSRP; if only RSRQ reporting is configured, the results are sorted by RSRQ.

[0075] If the terminal device obtains only the measurement configuration of the E-UTRAN frequency through the system broadcast message, and then reselects to a cell where the system broadcast message of the cell is configured with both the E-UTRAN frequency list and the NR frequency list, the terminal device should adopt the measurement configuration of the NR frequency list.

[0076] Considering base station power consumption, the SSB period configured in SIB2 / 4 may vary for different cells on the same frequency layer. For example, in a 3.5GHz deployment scenario, there are macro cells (primarily for coverage) and small cells (primarily for capacity). After unloading, the small cell can be set to the maximum SSB period, such as 160ms, while the macro cell is set to the default SSB period. In this case, the small cell is also called a sleeper cell. To this end, two SSB measurement timing configurations (SS / PBCH block measurement timing configurations, SMTCs) are configured for each frequency layer in SIB2 / 4. One of the two SMTCs is a long-period SMTC, and a PCI list is configured. This PCI list is used to identify one or more sleeper cells. In other words, the long-period SMTC is used for sleeper cell measurements. It should be noted that the SMTC appears periodically in the time domain. The terminal device measures the SSB within the time range corresponding to the SMTC and does not detect the SSB at other times. For the early measurement configuration, how to prevent the terminal device from measuring sleeper cells needs to be solved. To this end, the following technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are proposed.

[0077] Figure 3 is a flow chart of the measurement method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the measuring method comprises the following steps:

[0078] Step 301: The terminal device receives a first measurement configuration sent by a first network device, where the first measurement configuration is a measurement configuration for an idle state or an inactive state; wherein the first measurement configuration carries first indication information and / or second indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate cells that the terminal device does not need to measure and / or cells for which measurement results do not need to be reported, and the second indication information is used to indicate cells that the terminal device needs to measure and / or cells for which measurement results need to be reported.

[0079] Step 302: The terminal device performs measurement based on the first measurement configuration in an idle state or an inactive state, and reports the measurement result to the first network device or the second network device after entering a connected state.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, a first network device sends a first measurement configuration to a terminal device, and the terminal device receives the first measurement configuration sent by the first network device. In an optional embodiment, the first network device is a base station, such as a gNB. In an optional embodiment, the first measurement configuration is carried in RRC dedicated signaling. Furthermore, the RRC dedicated signaling may optionally be an RRC release message.

[0081] In this embodiment of the present application, the first measurement configuration is a measurement configuration for an idle state or an inactive state. The terminal device performs measurements based on the first measurement configuration in the idle state or the inactive state, and reports the measurement results to the first network device or the second network device after entering the connected state. In an optional embodiment, the second network device is a base station, such as a gNB. That is, the first measurement configuration is an Early measurement configuration. In specific implementations, the first measurement configuration is implemented using MeasIdleConfig. The contents of MeasIdleConfig are shown in Table 2 below.

[0082] In an embodiment of the present application, the first measurement configuration carries first indication information and / or second indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate the cells that the terminal device does not need to measure and / or the cells for which measurement results do not need to be reported, and the second indication information is used to indicate the cells that the terminal device needs to measure and / or the cells for which measurement results need to be reported.

[0083] In an optional manner, the first indication information is used to indicate one or more first cells. Here, optionally, the first cell may be a small cell or a sleeper cell. For the first cell, the terminal device does not need to measure the cell and / or does not need to report the measurement result of the cell.

[0084] In an optional manner, the second indication information is used for one or more second cells. Here, optionally, the second cell may be a macro cell. For the second cell, the terminal device needs to measure the cell and / or needs to report the measurement result of the cell.

[0085] In this embodiment of the present application, the first indication information may be implemented via a first PCI list, and the second indication information may be implemented via a second PCI list. The first PCI list may also be understood as a blacklist, and the second PCI list may also be understood as a whitelist. The following describes the contents of the first measurement configuration.

[0086] The first measurement configuration includes configuration information of at least one frequency point (refer to Table 2 below), and the at least one frequency point includes a first frequency point; wherein, the configuration information of the first frequency point includes SSB configuration information, and the SSB configuration information includes a first PCI list and / or a second PCI list, and the first PCI list is used to indicate that the terminal device does not need to measure the cell corresponding to the first PCI list and / or does not need to report the measurement results of the cell corresponding to the first PCI list when measuring SSB at the first frequency point, and the second PCI list is used to indicate that the terminal device needs to measure the cell corresponding to the second PCI list and / or needs to report the measurement results of the cell corresponding to the second PCI list when measuring SSB at the first frequency point.

[0087] It should be noted that the above scheme is illustrated using a first frequency as an example, but is not limited to this. The at least one frequency may include multiple first frequencies, wherein the configuration information of each first frequency may include corresponding SSB configuration information, and the SSB configuration information includes a blacklist (i.e., a first PCI list) and / or a whitelist (i.e., a second PCI list).
