Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an information sending method, a processing method, a terminal, a network device and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Some communication systems (e.g., 5G systems) support on-demand system information (SI). When a terminal sends an on-demand system information request (SI) in a connected state, a prohibition timer is started. Before the prohibition timer expires, the terminal cannot send the SI request. The prohibition timer does not start when the terminal sends an SI request in an idle or inactive state. After the terminal sends an SI request in an idle or inactive state, it can continue to send SI requests frequently. For network devices, the network devices only receive the SI request and cannot distinguish the status of the terminal's SI request, resulting in poor information processing performance of the network devices.

For example, Personal Communication Service (PCS) phones, cordless phones, Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) phones, Wireless Local Loop (WLL) stations, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), Redcap terminals, Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) terminals, etc. Wireless terminal devices may also be referred to as systems, subscriber units, subscriber stations, mobile stations, mobile stations, remote stations, access points, remote terminal devices, access terminal devices, user terminal devices, user agents, and user devices, but are not limited to these terms in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0196] The network device involved in the embodiments of the present invention may be a base station, which may include multiple cells providing services to terminals. Depending on the specific application scenario, a base station may also be referred to as an access point, or may be a device in an access network that communicates with wireless terminal devices over the air interface through one or more sectors, or may be referred to by other names. The network device may be used to convert received air frames into Internet Protocol (IP) packets, acting as a router between the wireless terminal device and the rest of the access network, which may include an Internet Protocol (IP) communication network. The network device may also coordinate attribute management of the air interface. For example, the network device involved in the embodiments of the present invention may be a base transceiver station (BTS) in the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) or code division multiple access (CDMA), a network device (NodeB) in wide-band code division multiple access (WCDMA), an evolutionary Node B (eNB or e-NodeB) in the long term evolution (LTE) system, a 5G base station (gNB) in the 5G network architecture (next generation system), a base station in 6G, a home evolved Node B (HeNB), a relay node, a femto, a pico, etc., and is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention. In some network structures, the network device may include a centralized unit (CU) node and a distributed unit (DU) node, and the centralized unit and the distributed unit may also be geographically separated.

[0197] Network devices and terminals can each use one or more antennas for Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) transmission. MIMO transmission can be single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO) or multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO). Depending on the configuration and number of antenna combinations, MIMO transmission can be 2D-MIMO, 3D-MIMO, FD-MIMO, or massive-MIMO. It can also use diversity transmission, precoding, or beamforming.

[0198] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a method for sending information provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0199] Step 201: The terminal determines relevant information of the on-demand SI, where the relevant information is used to indicate that the terminal triggers an on-demand SI request in different RRC states to obtain relevant information generated by the SIB.

[0200] Step 202: The terminal sends the relevant information to a network device.

[0201] Among them, the relevant information of the above-mentioned on-demand SI can be the information related to the on-demand SI request recorded by the terminal when the on-demand SI request is triggered, such as: the terminal status information, the SIB planned to be requested, the number of requests information, the duration of the request being prohibited, the SIB of the prohibited request, the prohibition timer information, etc., which is not described in detail here. Please refer to the relevant description below for details.

[0202] The above information can be recorded in a report as follows:

[0203] Logged Minimal Drive Test (logged MDT) reports, Random Access Channel (RACH) reports, Radio Link Failure (RLF) reports, Connection Establishment Failure (CEF) reports, and new reports.

[0204] The terminal may also send the relevant information to the network device through the above report.

[0205] In this embodiment of the present invention, the above steps enable the terminal to send the above-mentioned relevant information to the network device. This allows the network device to distinguish the terminal status of the on-demand SI request when processing the information, thereby improving the information processing efficiency of the network device. For example, the network device can make SIB issuance decisions based on the above-mentioned relevant information, thereby avoiding decision errors.

[0206] For example, when a terminal sends an on-demand SI request in a connected state, a prohibit timer is started, preventing the terminal from making another on-demand SI request before the prohibit timer expires. However, when a terminal sends an on-demand SI request in an idle or inactive state, the prohibit timer is not started. That is, after sending an on-demand SI request once in the idle / inactive state, the terminal can continue to frequently trigger the on-demand SI process to request system information. Thus, the terminal's request mechanisms for the same SIB (e.g., SIB12, SIB13, SIB14) in the connected and idle / inactive states differ. After reporting to the network, the network may not know the state in which the statistical on-demand SI request information was collected. For example, the network may not know whether the statistical results are affected by the prohibit time. This can affect the network's analysis and lead to incorrect network decisions. However, in embodiments of the present invention, the terminal reports relevant on-demand SI information to the network, which can assist the network in making better decisions, thereby improving network decision-making effectiveness and avoiding incorrect decisions.

[0207] As an optional implementation manner, the relevant information includes:

[0208] The terminal triggers an on-demand SI request in a connected state to obtain first related information generated by the SIB; and / or,

[0209] The terminal triggers an on-demand SI request in an idle state or an inactive state to obtain second related information generated by the SIB.

[0210] In this implementation, the terminal can determine the relevant information of on-demandSI in a connected state, an idle state or an inactive state. Through the above-mentioned first relevant information and / or second relevant information, the network device can know the state of the terminal in which the received statistical information is counted, so as to better assist the network device in performing information processing.

[0211] Here, both the first and second relevant information can be statistically analyzed at the SIB granularity. The types of information counted for different SIBs may be the same or slightly different. However, for each SIB, the number of requests may be multiple (greater than 1). Therefore, for each request for the same SIB, the type of information counted is the same, but the statistical results for the same information type may vary.

[0212] Optionally, the first relevant information includes at least one first sub-related information set, each first sub-related information set corresponds to a SIB, and the SIB is one of the SIBs obtained for triggering an on-demand SI request in a connected state, wherein the first sub-related information set corresponding to the SIB includes one or more of the following information:

[0213] (1) Information about the SIB. The SIB here may be a SIB that the terminal intends to request or a SIB that has already been requested. The SIB may be any SIB other than the Master Information Block (MIB) and the System Information Block (SIB) 1. The SIB information here may be a SIB identifier or other information that can identify the SIB.

[0214] (2) The number of times the SIB is requested. The number here can be the number of requests within a certain period of time, the number of consecutive requests, or the number of requests within a set statistical period, without any specific limitation.

[0215] (3) Terminal status information, which is the connected state or the state transitioning from the idle state or inactive state to the connected state. Since this information is collected when the terminal is in the connected state, the status information here is usually the connected state. However, there is a case where the terminal has just transitioned from the idle state or inactive state. In this case, the terminal status information here needs to be recorded as the state transitioning from the idle state or inactive state to the connected state, that is, the transition information is also counted.

[0216] (4) Information used to obtain whether the SIB's on-demand SI request is affected by the inhibit timer. For a SIB that is requested once, whether the SIB is affected by the inhibit timer can be determined by determining whether the inhibit timer is enabled. If the inhibit timer is enabled, it can be determined that the SIB is affected by the inhibit timer; otherwise, it can be determined that the SIB is not affected by the inhibit timer. For a SIB that is requested multiple times, whether the SIB is affected by the inhibit timer can be determined based on the number of times the inhibit timer is enabled.

[0217] (5) Information on whether the start prohibit timer is triggered each time an on-demand SI request for obtaining the SIB is sent. It should be noted that the information on whether the start prohibit timer is triggered each time can be counted, or the total information on whether the start prohibit timer is triggered can be obtained based on the number of start timers.

[0218] (6) The timing duration of the timer is prohibited.

[0219] (7) The on and off times of the prohibition timer, with the prerequisite being that the prohibition timer is triggered. The on and off times of the prohibition timer recorded here can be recorded for each on and off operation, i.e., the on and off times corresponding to the number of times the prohibition timer is turned on and off are recorded; or, as long as there is an on or off operation, the on or off operation time is recorded, ignoring the correspondence between the on or off operation and the number of times the prohibition timer is turned on or off.

[0220] (8) The duration of the prohibited request for obtaining the on-demand SI request for this SIB. The duration here can be the duration corresponding to each prohibited request or the total prohibited request duration. The total duration here corresponds to the same SIB.

[0221] (9) Used to obtain the request result of each on-demand SI request of the SIB, where the request result includes request success, or request failure and the reason for the request failure.

[0222] The reasons for the above request failure may include: the requested SIB is being broadcast, the prohibition timer is started, a handover occurs, etc.

[0223] In this implementation, the first sub-related information set can enable the network device to perform information processing based on more relevant information, thereby improving the processing performance of the network device.

[0224] Optionally, the first relevant information also includes: the total duration of the on-demand SI request being prohibited (the total duration here may correspond to multiple SIBs); one or more of the information of the SIB intended to be requested during the period when the prohibition timer is turned on.

[0225] In this implementation, the network device can timely send the SIB requested by the terminal to the terminal through one or more of the total duration of the on-demand SI request being prohibited and the information of the SIB to be requested during the activation of the prohibition timer.

[0226] As an optional implementation manner, the second relevant information includes at least one second sub-related information set, each second sub-related information set corresponds to a SIB, and the SIB is one of the SIBs obtained for triggering an on-demand SI request in an idle state or an inactive state, wherein the second sub-related information set corresponding to the SIB includes one or more of the following information:

[0227] Status information of the terminal, where the status information is idle state or inactive state, or transition from connected state to idle state or inactive state;

[0228] Information about the SIB;

[0229] Number of times the SIB has been requested;

[0230] Used to obtain the request result of each on-demand SI request of the SIB, the request result including request success, or request failure and the reason for the request failure;

[0231] The random access method used for each on-demand SI request and the corresponding random access channel RACH information.

[0232] The above SIB may be a SIB that the terminal plans to request or has already requested, and the above SIB may be a SIB other than MIB and SIB1.

[0233] The terminal status information may be obtained for each time the SIB statistics are obtained, or may be obtained for once for the SIB statistics.

[0234] The reasons for the above request failure may include: the requested SIB is being broadcast, handover occurs, etc.

[0235] The random access method may include an access method based on message 1 (Msg1) or message 3 (Msg3) of the random access procedure.

[0236] In this implementation, the second sub-related information set can enable the network device to perform information processing based on more relevant information, thereby improving the processing performance of the network device.

[0237] As an optional implementation manner, the triggering of the on-demand SI request to obtain the SIB includes an intended SIB and / or an actually requested SIB.

[0238] The SIBs to be requested include: SIBs that the terminal expects to request but has not yet sent a request; and / or SIBs that have not been successfully sent; and / or SIBs that the terminal requested and successfully received.

[0239] The above-mentioned actually requested SIB includes: a SIB that was actually requested but not sent successfully; and / or a SIB that was requested and successfully received by the terminal.

[0240] In this implementation, the terminal can report to the network device the relevant information corresponding to the SIB to be requested and / or the SIB actually requested, so that the network device can send the corresponding SIB to the terminal in a timely manner.

[0241] As an optional implementation, the method further includes:

[0242] The terminal stores the relevant information.

[0243] The terminal stores the relevant information, including:

[0244] If the terminal determines that the RRC state has changed, the terminal stores the triggering of on-demand SI requests in different RRC states in the same entity entry / report to obtain relevant information generated by the SIB; or

[0245] Storing the same RRC state in the same entity entry / report triggers an on-demand SI request to obtain relevant information generated by the SIB.

[0246] For example, when the terminal is in a connected state, the terminal stores the first related information in the entry; when the terminal enters an idle state or an inactive state from the connected state, the terminal continues to store the second related information in the entry; or

[0247] When the terminal is in a connected state, the terminal stores the first related information in an entry; when the terminal enters an idle state or an inactive state from a connected state, the terminal stores the second related information in another entry; or

[0248] When the terminal is in a connected state, the terminal stores the first related information in a report; when the terminal enters an idle state or an inactive state from a connected state, the terminal stores the second related information in another report; or

[0249] When the terminal is in an idle state or an inactive state, the terminal stores the second related information in the entry; when the terminal enters a connected state from the idle state or the inactive state, the terminal continues to store the first related information in the entry; or

[0250] When the terminal is in an idle state or an inactive state, the terminal stores the second related information in an entry; when the terminal enters a connected state from an idle state or an inactive state, the terminal stores the first related information in another entry; or

[0251] When the terminal is in an idle state or an inactive state, the terminal stores the second related information in a report; when the terminal enters a connected state from an idle state or an inactive state, the terminal stores the first related information in another report.

[0252] In the above implementation, the terminal can store relevant information in a variety of ways, thereby improving the flexibility of reporting.

[0253] Optionally, the terminal stores the relevant information, specifically including:

[0254] If the SIB included in the first relevant information and the second relevant information is the same SIB, the state information of the terminal is updated to designated state information, and the first relevant information and the second relevant information are combined and stored according to the updated designated state information.

[0255] The above-mentioned specified status information includes the connection state and the idle state / inactive state, which can be expressed as both. That is, after receiving the relevant information, the network device parses the status information as both, and then it can be determined that the relevant information includes the relevant information recorded in the connection state and the idle state / inactive state.

[0256] The combined storage may be that the first related information and the second related information are stored in the same entity entry / report, or may be stored in an entity entry / report corresponding to a connected state; or may be stored in an entity entry / report corresponding to an idle state.

[0257] In this implementation, since the first related information and the second related information are stored together, storage resources can be saved.

[0258] As an optional implementation manner, the terminal determines relevant information of the on-demand system information SI, specifically including:

[0259] If, after determining the first relevant information, the terminal determines that the SIB information included in the second relevant information is the same as the SIB information included in the first relevant information during the process of counting the second relevant information, or if, after determining the second relevant information, the terminal determines that the SIB information included in the second relevant information is the same as the SIB information included in the first relevant information during the process of counting the first relevant information, then

[0260] Updating the state information of the terminal in the second relevant information and the first relevant information to specified state information;

[0261] The first relevant information and the second relevant information are determined according to the updated designated state information.

[0262] The above-mentioned updating of the status information of the terminal in the second relevant information and the first relevant information to the specified status information may be updating the status information of the terminal in the second relevant information and the first relevant information to a connected state and an idle state / inactive state, that is, the above-mentioned SIB has corresponding relevant information in the connected state and the idle state / inactive state.

[0263] The above-mentioned determination of the first relevant information and the second relevant information based on the updated designated status information may be to merge the first relevant information and the second relevant information for the same type of information of the same SIB, such as merging the number of requests, merging the reasons for request failure, etc.

[0264] In this implementation manner, since the first relevant information and the second relevant information are determined according to the updated designated state information, the first relevant information and the second relevant information can be made more comprehensive.

[0265] As an optional implementation manner, before the terminal sends the relevant information to the network device, the method further includes:

[0266] The terminal sends indication information to the network device, where the indication information is used to instruct the terminal to trigger an on-demand SI request in different radio resource control RRC states to obtain relevant information generated by the SIB.

[0267] The above-mentioned indication information may include one or more indication information. For example, when one indication information is included, the indication information may simultaneously indicate triggering an on-demand SI request in different RRC states to obtain relevant information generated by the SIB. When multiple indication information is included, each indication information indicates triggering an on-demand SI request in one RRC state to obtain relevant information generated by the SIB.

[0268] Through the above indication information, the network device can obtain the above relevant information from the terminal in a timely manner.

[0269] As an optional implementation manner, the terminal sending the relevant information to the network device includes: the terminal receiving request information sent by the network device, where the request information includes the requested RRC state of the terminal;

[0270] If the terminal determines that the RRC state of the terminal carried in the request information is a connected state, sending the relevant information determined by the terminal in the connected state to the network device;

[0271] and / or,

[0272] If the terminal determines that the RRC state of the terminal carried in the request information is an idle state or an inactive state, the terminal sends the relevant information determined by the terminal in the idle state or the inactive state to the network device.

[0273] The above request information can be used to request relevant information determined in different RRC states.

[0274] In addition, if the request information does not carry the RRC state, it can be regarded as a request for relevant information determined in all RRC states, that is, a request for the above-mentioned first relevant information and second relevant information.

[0275] In this implementation, the terminal can send the requested related information to the network device through the request information, thereby saving transmission resources.

[0276] In this embodiment of the present invention, a terminal determines relevant information about an on-demand SI, where the relevant information is used to indicate that the terminal triggers an on-demand SI request in different radio resource control (RRC) states to obtain relevant information generated by a system information block (SIB); and the terminal sends the relevant information to a network device. This allows the network device to distinguish the terminal state of the on-demand SI request when processing information, thereby improving the information processing efficiency of the network device.

[0277] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a flow chart of an information processing method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0278] Step 301: A network device receives relevant information of on-demand system information (SI) sent by a terminal, where the relevant information is used to indicate that the terminal triggers an on-demand SI request in different radio resource control (RRC) states to obtain relevant information generated by a system information block (SIB).

[0279] Step 302: The network device performs information processing according to the relevant information.

[0280] Among them, the above-mentioned information processing may include sending SIB to the terminal, that is, sending SIB to the terminal according to the above-mentioned relevant information reported by the terminal, such as sending SIB that the terminal intends to request but fails to request successfully, or giving priority to sending SIB that the terminal intends to request more times, etc. The specific embodiment of the present invention does not limit the information processing, and can be processed according to actual needs.

[0294] Optionally, the first related information set further includes: the total duration for which the on-demand SI request is prohibited; and one or more of the information of the SIB intended to be requested during the period when the prohibition timer is turned on.

[0295] Optionally, the second relevant information includes at least one second sub-related information set, each second sub-related information set corresponds to a SIB, and the SIB is one of the SIBs obtained for triggering an on-demand SI request in an idle state or an inactive state, wherein the second sub-related information set corresponding to the SIB includes one or more of the following information:

[0296] Status information of the terminal, where the status information is idle state or inactive state, or transition from connected state to idle state or inactive state;

[0297] Information about the SIB;

[0298] Number of times the SIB has been requested;

[0299] Used to obtain the request result of each on-demand SI request of the SIB, the request result including request success, or request failure and the reason for the request failure;

[0306] and / or,

[0307] If the RRC state of the terminal carried in the request information is determined to be an idle state or an inactive state, the relevant information sent by the terminal and determined by the terminal in the idle state or the inactive state is received.

[0308] It should be noted that this embodiment is Figure 2 The implementation of the corresponding network device in the embodiment shown, its specific implementation can be found in Figure 2 In order to avoid duplication, the relevant descriptions of the embodiment shown will not be repeated in this embodiment, and the same beneficial effects can still be achieved.

[0309] The method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is illustrated below through multiple embodiments:

[0310] Example 1

[0311] In this embodiment, an example is given of a terminal entering idle / inactive state from connected state to continue / stop statistics.

[0312] Step 1: The network configures or instructs the terminal to determine relevant information, or the terminal learns through other means that it needs to determine relevant information, where the relevant information is used to represent the relevant information generated by the terminal triggering an on-demand SI request to obtain a system information block SIB in different radio resource control (RRC) states. The above-mentioned relevant information may also be referred to as on-demand SI request information;

[0313] Step 2: The terminal starts the relevant information determination mechanism;

[0314] Step 3: When the terminal plans to request a certain SIB(s), the terminal determines the SIBs planned to be requested and the number of requests and other related information;

[0315] Step 3a: When the terminal plans to send an on-demand SI request but fails to do so;

[0316] Step 3b: When the terminal successfully sends an on-demand SI request, a prohibition timer is started. Before the prohibition timer times out, the terminal will not make any more on-demand requests.

[0317] The terminal also determines one or more of the following information in the connected state:

[0318] Displays whether the statistics of each SIB are affected by the prohibition timer or whether the prohibition timer has been enabled;

[0319] Accumulate and record the total time of the terminal on-demand SI request being prohibited in each SIB connection state;

[0320] Disable the timer's start and / or stop time;

[0321] Disable the timer value;

[0322] The display indicates whether the statistics for each SIB are collected in the connected state or in both the connected state and the idle / inactive state.

[0323] The display indicates that the entire statistics are calculated in the connected state;

[0324] Each time the same SIB is confirmed, it is also determined whether the request is successful, the reason for the request failure (for example, the requested SIB is being broadcast, the prohibition timer is on, a handover occurs, etc.), the terminal status information, whether the prohibition timer is on, the prohibition timer value, the duration of the prohibited on-demand SI request, etc.

[0325] SIB(s) that the terminal plans to request during the timer is disabled;

[0326] Step 4: The terminal enters the idle / inactive state from the connected state. At this time, the terminal stores the first related information generated by the terminal triggering the on-demand SI request in the connected state to obtain the SIB, and the terminal continues to determine the related information in the idle / inactive state;

[0327] The terminal also determines one or more of the following information in the idle / inactive state:

[0328] Displays whether statistics are collected for each SIB in idle / inactive state or in both connected and idle / inactive states.

[0329] The display indicates that the entire statistics are collected in the idle / inactive state;

[0330] Each time the same SIB is confirmed, it is also determined whether the request is successful, the reason for the request failure, the terminal status information, the request method based on Msg1 or Msg3, and RACH related information;

[0331] Step 4-1: The terminal enters the idle / inactive state from the connected state. At this time, the terminal stores the first related information generated by the terminal triggering the on-demand SI request in the connected state to obtain the SIB, and the terminal continues to accumulate and store the related information in the same entry.

[0332] Step 4-2: The terminal enters the idle / inactive state from the connected state. At this time, the terminal stores the first related information generated by the terminal triggering the on-demand SI request in the connected state to obtain the SIB. The terminal re-stores the second related information generated by the terminal triggering the on-demand SI request in the idle state or inactive state to obtain the SIB in a new entry;

[0333] Step 4-3: The terminal enters the idle / inactive state from the connected state. At this time, the terminal stores the first related information generated by the terminal triggering the on-demand SI request in the connected state to obtain the SIB. The terminal re-stores the second related information generated by the terminal triggering the on-demand SI request in the idle state or inactive state to obtain the SIB in the new report;

[0334] Among them, any one of step 4-1, step 4-2 and step 4-3 can be selected;

[0335] Step 4-4: The terminal enters the idle / inactive state from the connected state. At this time, the terminal stores the first related information generated by the terminal triggering the on-demand SI request in the connected state to obtain the SIB, and the terminal stops recording;

[0336] Step 5: The terminal reports an obtainable indication in an uplink completion message, indicating that the terminal stores relevant information indicating that the terminal triggers an on-demand SI request to obtain a system information block SIB in different radio resource control RRC states;

[0337] The terminal reporting indication information indicates that the first related information generated by the terminal triggering an on-demand SI request in a connected state to obtain the SIB is stored; or

[0338] The terminal reporting indication information indicates that the second related information generated by the terminal triggering an on-demand SI request in an idle state or an inactive state to obtain SIB is stored; or

[0339] The terminal reporting indication information instructs the storage terminal to trigger an on-demand SI request in a connected state to obtain first related information generated by the SIB and to trigger an on-demand SI request in an idle state or an inactive state to obtain second related information generated by the SIB;

[0340] Step 6: When the network wants to obtain relevant information stored in the terminal, it can send a terminal information request message to request the terminal to report. The request method includes the following three methods:

[0341] The terminal storing the requesting terminal triggers an on-demand SI request in a connected state to obtain first related information generated by the SIB;

[0342] The terminal triggers an on-demand SI request in an idle state or an inactive state to obtain second related information generated by the SIB;

[0343] Requesting the terminal to trigger an on-demand SI request in a connected state to obtain first related information generated by the SIB and triggering an on-demand SI request in an idle state or an inactive state to obtain second related information generated by the SIB;

[0344] Step 7: The terminal may report relevant information of the network request in a terminal information request response message;

[0345] Step 8: After receiving the relevant information, the network analyzes the SIBs type and request count in the relevant information, broadcasts the SIBs with high terminal demand, and optimizes some system resources related to on-demand SIs;

[0346] In this embodiment, the terminal may store relevant information in a logged MDT report, a RACH Report, a RLF Report, a CEFReport, or a new report.

[0347] Example 2:

[0348] This embodiment uses an example of a terminal entering the connected state from the idle / inactive state to continue / stop statistics.

[0349] Step 1: The network configures or instructs the terminal to determine relevant information, or the terminal learns through other means that it needs to determine relevant information, where the relevant information is used to represent the relevant information generated by the terminal triggering an on-demand SI request to obtain a system information block SIB in different radio resource control (RRC) states. The above-mentioned relevant information may also be referred to as on-demand SI request information;

[0350] Step 2: The terminal starts the relevant information determination mechanism;

[0351] Step 3: When the terminal plans to request a certain SIB(s), the terminal determines the SIBs planned to be requested and the number of requests and other related information;

[0352] The terminal also determines one or more of the following information in the idle / inactive state:

[0353] Displays whether each SIB is determined in idle / inactive state or in connected state and idle / inactive state;

[0354] The display indicates that the entire statistics are determined in the idle / inactive state;

[0355] Each time the same SIB is confirmed, it is also determined whether the request is successful, the reason for the request failure, the terminal status information, the request method based on Msg1 or Msg3, and RACH related information;

[0356] Step 4: The terminal enters the connected state from the idle / inactive state. At this time, the terminal stores the second related information generated by the terminal triggering the on-demand SI request in the idle state or inactive state to obtain the SIB. The terminal continues to determine in the connected state to trigger the on-demand SI request in the connected state to obtain the first related information generated by the SIB;

[0357] Step 4a: When the terminal plans to send an on-demand SI request but fails to do so;

[0358] Step 4b: When the terminal successfully sends an on-demand SI request, a prohibition timer is started. Before the prohibition timer times out, the terminal will not make any more on-demand requests.

[0359] The terminal also determines one or more of the following information in the connected state:

[0360] Displays whether the statistics of each SIB are affected by the prohibition timer or whether the prohibition timer has been enabled;

[0361] Accumulate and record the total time of the terminal on-demand SI request being prohibited in each SIB connection state;

[0362] Disable the timer's start and / or stop time;

[0363] Disable the timer value;

[0364] Displays whether each SIB is determined in connected state or in connected state and idle / inactive state;

[0365] The display indicates that the entire statistics are calculated in the connected state;

[0366] Each time the same SIB is confirmed, it is also determined whether the request is successful, the reason for the request failure (the requested SIB is being broadcast, the prohibition timer is on, a handover occurs, etc.), the terminal status information, whether the prohibition timer is on, the prohibition timer value, the duration of the prohibited on-demand SI request, etc.

[0367] SIB(s) that the terminal plans to request during the timer is disabled;

[0368] Step 4-1: The terminal enters the connected state from the idle / inactive state. At this time, the terminal stores the second related information generated by the terminal triggering the on-demand SI request in the idle state or inactive state to obtain the SIB. The terminal continues to accumulate in the same entry the first related information generated by triggering the on-demand SI request in the connected state to obtain the SIB;

[0369] Step 4-2: The terminal enters the connected state from the idle / inactive state. At this time, the terminal stores the second related information generated by the terminal triggering the on-demand SI request in the idle state or inactive state to obtain the SIB. The terminal re-determines in the new entry that the on-demand SI request is triggered in the connected state to obtain the first related information generated by the SIB;

[0370] Step 4-3: The terminal enters the connected state from the idle / inactive state. At this time, the terminal stores the second related information generated by the terminal triggering the on-demand SI request in the idle state or inactive state to obtain the SIB. The terminal re-determines in the new report that the on-demand SI request is triggered in the connected state to obtain the first related information generated by the SIB;

[0371] Among them, any one of step 4-1, step 4-2 and step 4-3 can be selected;

[0372] Step 4-4: The terminal enters the connected state from the idle / inactive state. At this time, the terminal stores the second related information generated by the terminal triggering the on-demand SI request in the idle state or inactive state to obtain the SIB, and the terminal stops recording.

[0373] Step 5: The terminal reports an obtainable indication in an uplink completion message, indicating that the terminal stores relevant information indicating that the terminal triggers an on-demand SI request to obtain a system information block SIB in different radio resource control RRC states;

[0374] The terminal reporting indication information indicates that the first related information generated by the terminal triggering an on-demand SI request in a connected state to obtain the SIB is stored; or

[0375] The terminal reporting indication information indicates that the second related information generated by the terminal triggering an on-demand SI request in an idle state or an inactive state to obtain SIB is stored; or

[0376] The terminal reporting indication information instructs the storage terminal to trigger an on-demand SI request in a connected state to obtain first related information generated by the SIB and to trigger an on-demand SI request in an idle state or an inactive state to obtain second related information generated by the SIB;

[0377] Step 6: When the network wants to obtain relevant information stored in the terminal, it can send a terminal information request message to request the terminal to report. The request method includes the following three methods:

[0378] The terminal storing the requesting terminal triggers an on-demand SI request in a connected state to obtain first related information generated by the SIB;

[0379] The terminal triggers an on-demand SI request in an idle state or an inactive state to obtain second related information generated by the SIB;

[0380] Requesting the terminal to trigger an on-demand SI request in a connected state to obtain first related information generated by the SIB and triggering an on-demand SI request in an idle state or an inactive state to obtain second related information generated by the SIB;

[0381] Step 7: The terminal may report relevant information of the network request in a terminal information request response message;

[0382] Step 8: After receiving the relevant information, the network analyzes the SIBs type and request count in the relevant information, broadcasts the SIBs with high terminal demand, and optimizes some system resources related to on-demand SIs;

[0383] In this embodiment, the terminal may store relevant information in a logged MDT report, a RACH Report, a RLF Report, a CEFReport, or a new report.
