Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of mobile communications, and more particularly to a cell measurement method and apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Cell Reselection Priority defines the priority of the serving frequency in inter-frequency cell reselection. It is generally set to 0-7, with a higher value indicating a higher priority.

[0003] Generally, network selection priority is defined by the cell, for example, based on base station performance and load. Simultaneously, the cell can send its network selection priority to the terminal via broadcast system messages.

[0004] In related technologies, after a terminal camps on a serving cell, it can typically measure neighboring cells with higher network selection priority than the serving cell at fixed time intervals.

[0005] However, the terminal consumes a lot of energy when performing measurements, and how to balance the measurement needs of the terminal with energy conservation has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

These terms are used only to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "when," "when," or "in response to determination."

[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a cell measurement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The cell measurement method shown in this embodiment can be applied to terminals, including but not limited to mobile phones, tablets, wearable devices, sensors, IoT devices, and other communication devices. The terminal can communicate with a base station as a user equipment, including but not limited to base stations in communication systems such as 4G base stations, 5G base stations, and 6G base stations.

[0031] Step S101: Detect the communication quality of the communication service currently being executed by the terminal.

[0032] In one embodiment, the terminal can detect the currently executing communication service, for example, periodically, where the period duration can be predetermined, such as 30 seconds, 1 minute, etc.

[0033] In one embodiment, the communication service may be at least one of voice service and data service.

[0034] Taking voice services as an example, the terminal can continuously monitor the call quality during a voice call, and determine the call quality based on factors such as call fluency and clarity.

[0035] Taking data services as an example, these data services can include web browsing, online games, and uploading and downloading data. During the execution of data services, the terminal can continuously monitor the data transmission quality corresponding to the data service. For example, the data transmission quality can be determined based on network speed, page smoothness, etc.

[0036] In one embodiment, the terminal can directly detect the data transmission quality of a communication service without distinguishing between specific services, where data transmission may include data uploading and data receiving. For example, the terminal can detect data upload or reception rates, latency, packet loss rates, etc., to determine the communication quality of the communication service being executed by the terminal.

[0037] Step S102: Based on the communication quality, adjust the interval between measurements performed by the terminal.

[0038] In one embodiment, after determining the communication quality of the currently executing communication service, the terminal can increase or decrease the interval between measurements of neighboring cells based on the communication quality, that is, increase or decrease the frequency of measurements of neighboring cells.

[0039] In one embodiment, the terminal may predetermine parameters for evaluating communication quality, such as one or more of data transmission rate, latency, and packet loss rate. Optionally, data transmission rate is positively correlated with communication quality, while latency and packet loss rate are negatively correlated with communication quality.

[0040] The following describes two specific methods for determining communication quality based on predetermined parameters.

[0041] Example 1:

[0042] The terminal can set corresponding quality requirements for each parameter, and then determine whether the communication quality meets the preset quality requirements based on whether each parameter meets the corresponding quality requirements.

[0043] Optionally, if any parameter does not meet the corresponding quality requirements, the communication quality of the communication service is determined to be non-compliant with the preset quality requirements; if all parameters meet the corresponding quality requirements, the communication quality of the communication service is determined to be compliant with the preset quality requirements.

[0044] For example, parameters used to evaluate communication quality include "data reception rate" and "data reception packet loss rate":

[0045] For "data reception rate", the preset quality requirement can be higher than the rate threshold (denoted as A); for "data reception packet loss rate", the preset quality requirement can be lower than the packet loss rate threshold (denoted as B). Based on this, after the terminal detects the data reception rate (denoted as a) and data reception packet loss rate (denoted as b) of the communication service, it can compare them with the preset quality requirements respectively.

[0046] If both the "data reception rate" and the "data reception packet loss rate" meet the preset quality requirements, that is, a > A and b < B, it is determined that the communication quality meets the preset quality requirements, and thus the interval duration can be increased; if any of the "data reception rate" and the "data reception packet loss rate" does not meet the preset quality requirements, that is, a ≤ A or b ≥ B, it is determined that the communication quality does not meet the preset quality requirements, and thus the interval duration can be decreased.

[0047] Embodiment 2:

[0048] The terminal can perform a specified calculation on the determined parameter values to obtain a quantization value of the communication quality, and thus can determine whether the communication quality meets the preset quality requirements according to this quantization value.

[0049] For example, the terminal can preset a quality threshold corresponding to the quantization value. If the quantization value obtained by the terminal performing a specified calculation on each parameter is greater than this quality threshold, it is determined that the communication quality meets the preset quality requirements; if the calculated quantization value is not greater than this quality threshold, it is determined that the communication quality does not meet the preset quality requirements.

[0050] Taking the parameters for evaluating the communication quality including "data reception rate", "data reception packet loss rate" and "delay time" as an example, the communication quality of the communication service can be calculated by the following formula:

[0051]

[0052] Where k is a weight coefficient and b is an offset coefficient, which can be specifically set according to the actual situation and are not limited in this embodiment.

[0053] It should be noted that the communication quality of the terminal when performing the communication service is usually also affected by other factors

[0054] communication

[0055] such as the performance and load of the terminal. Therefore, when setting the preset quality requirements, it can be set according to the actual situation of the terminal, which will not be elaborated here.

[0056] Step S103: Measure the neighboring cells of the currently served cell according to the adjusted interval duration.

[0057] In one embodiment, after adjusting the interval duration, it can be determined whether the time elapsed since the last measurement has reached the adjusted interval duration. If it is less than the adjusted interval duration, the neighboring cell will not be measured again until the adjusted interval duration is reached; if it is greater than the adjusted interval duration, the neighboring cell will be measured immediately. Subsequently, the terminal can periodically measure neighboring cells according to the adjusted interval duration.

[0058] It is understandable that a terminal performs cell handover after measuring neighboring cells, usually to obtain better signal reception quality, thereby improving the communication quality of communication services. Therefore, according to... Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the terminal can flexibly adjust the measurement interval of neighboring cells based on the communication quality of the currently executing communication service, achieving a balance between measurement needs and energy conservation. For example, the terminal can reduce the measurement frequency when the communication quality is good, ensuring both communication quality and energy saving; the terminal can increase the measurement frequency when the communication quality is poor, in order to switch to cells with better signals as much as possible, ensuring communication quality and improving user experience.

[0059] Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating another cell measurement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, the method further includes:

[0061] Step S201: When measuring neighboring cells, record the location of the terminal.

[0062] In one embodiment, when a terminal performs neighbor cell measurements, it can determine its current location using functions such as positioning and record that location. For example, if the terminal performs neighbor cell measurements at time t1 and determines its location to be location 1, it can record time t1, location 1, and the measurement result.

[0063] For example, the location could be the latitude and longitude information of the terminal.

[0064] Step S202: Detect the current location of the terminal and calculate the distance between the current location and the location recorded when the neighboring cell was last measured.

[0065] In one embodiment, after completing measurements of neighboring cells, the terminal continues to detect its current location. For example, the terminal can detect the latitude and longitude information of its location at specified time intervals.

[0066] In one embodiment, the terminal can compare the detected location with the location recorded during the last neighbor cell measurement to calculate the distance between the two. For example, the distance can be calculated based on the latitude and longitude information from the neighbor cell measurement and the currently detected latitude and longitude information.

[0067] It should be noted that the latitude and longitude information described above is only an example. In practical applications, other methods can be used to indicate location. For example, a reference point can be preset, and the detected location can be recorded as the offset from the preset reference point, such as distance offset and angle offset.

[0068] Step S203: If the distance exceeds a preset distance threshold, then measure the neighboring cells of the currently serving cell.

[0069] The preset distance threshold can be predetermined, for example, based on the type of serving cell. Optionally, since the coverage range of different types of cells varies greatly, for example, the coverage range of a 4G cell can be 1-3 kilometers, while the coverage range of a 5G cell can be 100-300 meters, the terminal can determine different preset distance thresholds for different types of cells.

[0070] For example, if the serving cell is a 4G cell, the preset distance threshold can be set to 500 or 800 meters; if the serving cell is a 5G cell, the preset distance threshold can be set to 50 or 80 meters. Of course, the serving cell can also be other types of cells, such as 3G or 6G cells, and the terminal can set the corresponding preset distance threshold, which will not be elaborated here.

[0071] In one embodiment, the terminal compares the distance calculated in step S302 with a preset distance threshold. If the distance is greater than the preset distance threshold, it indicates that the terminal's location has changed significantly, and the probability of it moving to the coverage area of ​​a neighboring cell is high. Therefore, the terminal can directly measure the neighboring cells of the serving cell without waiting for the next neighboring cell measurement cycle.

[0072] It should be noted that, based on this embodiment, the terminal can still follow... Figure 1 The illustrated embodiment periodically performs neighbor cell measurements at determined intervals. Optionally, when determining the interval, the terminal may ignore measurements triggered by distance exceeding a preset distance threshold, i.e., it may wait for the interval before performing the next measurement based on the original periodic measurement; or, the terminal may use measurements triggered by distance exceeding the preset distance threshold as a basis, and wait for the interval before performing the next measurement.

[0073] according to Figure 2In the illustrated embodiment, when the terminal experiences a significant location shift, it can perform timely measurements to avoid staying in cells with low signal quality and affecting user experience. It can then switch to cells with better signal quality in a timely manner, ensuring the terminal's communication quality and improving user experience.

[0074] In one embodiment, the terminal measures the neighboring cells of the serving cell it is currently in. This can be done by measuring all neighboring cells of the serving cell to try and access a cell with better signal quality; alternatively, the terminal can also perform filtering based on network selection priority to reduce the number of measurements and improve measurement efficiency. The following section combines... Figure 3 Let me introduce it.

[0075] Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating another cell measurement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0076] like Figure 3 As shown, the measurement of neighboring cells of the currently serving cell includes:

[0077] Step S301: Identify at least one neighboring cell with a network selection priority higher than the current serving cell as a candidate neighboring cell.

[0078] Step S302: Measure the candidate neighboring cells.

[0079] In one embodiment, the terminal can determine and compare the network selection priorities of the serving cell and neighboring cells through system messages broadcast by the cell. If the network selection priority of a neighboring cell is higher than that of the serving cell, the terminal can identify the neighboring cell as a candidate neighboring cell; if the network selection priority of a neighboring cell is not higher than that of the serving cell, the terminal can ignore the neighboring cell.

[0080] In one embodiment, the terminal can measure several identified candidate neighbor cells to determine the signal reception quality for each candidate neighbor cell. For example, the terminal can receive a reference signal from a candidate neighbor cell and then determine the signal reception quality of receiving that reference signal.

[0081] After completing the measurement, if the terminal determines that the signal reception quality of each candidate neighbor cell meets the preset conditions, it can select the candidate neighbor cell with the best signal reception quality as the target neighbor cell. Thus, the terminal can switch from the serving cell to the target neighbor cell to obtain better communication quality.

[0082] In one embodiment, after completing the measurement, if the terminal determines that the signal reception quality of each candidate neighbor cell does not meet the preset conditions, it can determine at least one neighbor cell whose network selection priority is not higher than that of the current serving cell as a candidate neighbor cell. Then, the terminal can measure the newly determined candidate neighbor cells to determine the signal reception quality of each candidate neighbor cell.

[0083] Using a similar method, after completing the measurements, the terminal can select the candidate neighbor cell with the best signal reception quality as the target neighbor cell. This allows the terminal to switch from the serving cell to the target neighbor cell for better communication quality.

[0084] In one embodiment, the signal reception quality of a terminal to neighboring cells can be evaluated using a variety of methods. For example, signal reception quality includes at least one of Reference Received Power (RSRP) and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR).

[0085] For example, if signal reception quality includes RSRP and SNR, the terminal can set RSRP and SNR thresholds respectively. If the RSRP of a candidate neighbor cell is greater than the RSRP threshold and the SNR is greater than the SNR threshold, then the candidate neighbor cell is determined to meet the preset conditions. Subsequently, the terminal can further filter the target neighbor cell with the highest signal reception quality based on RSRP or SNR. For example, among the candidate neighbor cells that meet the preset conditions, the one with the highest RSRP or the one with the highest SNR can be selected as the target neighbor cell.

[0086] It should be noted that the above method for evaluating signal reception quality based on RSRP and SNR is only an example. In practical applications, terminals can also use other methods to evaluate signal reception quality, which will not be elaborated here.
