Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of wireless communication, and more particularly to a radio resource management (RRM) measurement configuration determination method and device, a communication device, and a storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] An extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) mode is a working mode for reducing power consumption of a user equipment (UE) by enhancing a normal DRX mode.

[0003] A non-active state is introduced in new radio (NR), which is a state between an idle state and a connected state, and is usually a state of a UE that is visible to a radio access network (RAN) but may not be visible to a core network (CN).

[0004] Both the non-active state and the idle state belong to a non-connected state of the UE. SUMMARY

[0005] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a RRM measurement configuration determination method and device, an information processing method and device, a communication device, and a storage medium.

[0006] A first aspect of embodiments of the present disclosure provides a RRM measurement configuration determination method, performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

[0007] determining, according to a non-connected state in which the UE is located and an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) configuration of the UE, related information, wherein the related information at least indicates: a first DRX cycle and whether the UE has a first eDRX cycle;

[0008] determining, according to the related information, a measurement configuration for the UE to perform RRM measurement.

[0009] A second aspect of embodiments of the present disclosure provides a RRM measurement configuration determination device, the device comprising:

[0010] a first determination module configured to determine, according to a non-connected state in which the UE is located and an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) configuration of the UE, related information, wherein the related information at least indicates: a first DRX cycle and whether the UE has a first eDRX cycle;

[0011] A second determining module is configured to determine, according to the related information, a measurement configuration for the UE to perform RRM measurement.

[0012] A third aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure provides a communication device, comprising a processor, a transceiver, a memory, and an executable program stored on the memory and capable of being executed by the processor, wherein the processor executes the executable program to perform the RRM measurement configuration determination method of the first aspect.

[0013] A fourth aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure provides a computer storage medium, which stores an executable program; the executable program is executed by a processor to implement the RRM measurement configuration determination method provided by the first aspect.

[0014] The technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is used for determining the eDRX cycle and the DRX cycle of the measurement configuration (RRM measurement configuration) of RRM measurement. The eDRX cycle and the DRX cycle are determined according to the non-connected state and the eDRX configuration of the UE. On the one hand, the RRM measurement configuration determined in this way can meet the requirements of RRM measurement. On the other hand, the RRM measurement of the UE is controlled by using this measurement configuration, which can reduce the probability that the UE is in the sleep period of the eDRX cycle due to RRM measurement, reduce the interruption of the sleep period of the UE due to RRM measurement, and further save the power consumption of the UE.

Depending on the context, the word "if' as used herein can be interpreted as meaning "when" or "in response to determining."

[0028] Reference is made to Figure 1 which shows a structural diagram of a wireless communication system provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1 , the wireless communication system is a communication system based on cellular mobile communication technology, and the wireless communication system can include a plurality of UEs 11 and a plurality of access devices 12.

[0029] The UE 11 can be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user. The UE 11 can be a machine-to-machine UE, such as a sensor device, a mobile telephone (also known as a "cellular" telephone), and a computer with a machine-to-machine UE, e.g., a fixed, portable, pocket, handheld, computer-embedded, or car-mounted device. For example, the UE 11 can be a Station (STA), a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile, a remote station, an access point, a remote UE, an access UE, a user terminal, a user agent, a user device, or a user equipment (UE). Alternatively, the UE 11 can be a device of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Alternatively, the UE 11 can be a vehicle-mounted device, e.g., a car-mounted device with wireless communication function, or a wireless communication device externally connected to a car-mounted device. Alternatively, the UE 11 can be a roadside device, e.g., a street lamp, a signal lamp, or other roadside device with wireless communication function.

[0030] The access device 12 can be a network-side device in a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system can be a 4th generation mobile communication (4G) system, also known as a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system. Alternatively, the wireless communication system can be a 5G system, also known as a new radio (NR) system or a 5G NR system. Alternatively, the wireless communication system can be a further next generation system of the 5G system. In the 5G system, the access network can be referred to as a New Generation-Radio Access Network (NG-RAN). Alternatively, the wireless communication system can be an MTC system.

[0031] The access device 12 can be an evolved access device (eNB) used in a 4G system. Alternatively, the access device 12 can also be an access device (gNB) using a centralized and distributed architecture in a 5G system. When the access device 12 uses a centralized and distributed architecture, it usually includes a central unit (CU) and at least two distributed units (DUs). The central unit is provided with a protocol stack of a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer, a radio link control (RLC) layer, and a media access control (MAC) layer; the distributed unit is provided with a physical (PHY) layer protocol stack, and the specific implementation of the access device 12 is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0032] The access device 12 and the UE 11 can establish a wireless connection through a wireless air interface. In different embodiments, the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on a fourth generation mobile communication network technology (4G) standard; or the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on a fifth generation mobile communication network technology (5G) standard, such as a new air interface; or the wireless air interface can also be a wireless air interface based on a more next generation mobile communication network technology standard of 5G.

[0033] In some embodiments, the UEs 11 can also establish an E2E (End to End) connection. For example, V2V (vehicle to vehicle) communication, V2I (vehicle to infrastructure) communication, and V2P (vehicle to pedestrian) communication in vehicle to everything (V2X) communication and the like.

[0034] In some embodiments, the wireless communication system described above can also include a network management device 13.

[0035] A plurality of access devices 12 are connected to a network management device 13. The network management device 13 can be a core network device in a wireless communication system, for example, the network management device 13 can be a mobility management entity (MME) in an evolved packet core (EPC). Alternatively, the network management device can also be other core network devices, such as a serving gateway (SGW), a public data network gateway (PGW), a policy and charging rules function (PCRF), or a home subscriber server (HSS), etc. The implementation form of the network management device 13 is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0036] If the UE starts the eDRX function, the UE will enter the eDRX mode. The UE in the eDRX mode has the following characteristics, including:

[0037] The UE is always reachable, but the reachability delay is large, and the delay depends on the eDRX cycle configuration.

[0038] In this way, the UE with the maximum limit of the eDRX function balances the power consumption of the UE and the data transmission and timeliness.

[0039] The eDRX function has one or more of the following eDRX parameters:

[0040] The starting time domain position of the PTW;

[0041] The length of the PTW;

[0042] The eDRX cycle, which can be T eDRX，H .

[0043] Figure 2 A timing diagram after the UE starts the eDRX function is shown.

[0044] Referring to Figure 2 It can be seen that there is a PTW in an eDRX cycle, and there is one or more DRX cycles in the PTW.

[0045] The length of the DRX cycle can be much smaller than the length of the eDRX cycle.

[0046] Figure 3 A kind of interaction of eDRX parameters of eDRX function between UE (i.e. UE) and core network is shown.

[0047] Figure 3 The methods for exchanging eDRX parameters between the UE and the core network, as shown, may include:

[0048] The eNB sends an indication of enabled eDRX functionality, a cell-specific DRX indication, and a hyperframe number (SFN) to the UE via a System Information Block (SIB).

[0049] In the attach request or Tracking Area Update (TAU) request, the UE sends UE-specific DRX parameters and / or preferred eDRX parameters;

[0050] After receiving the aforementioned attach request or TAU request, the MME sends an eDRX configuration to the UE; the eDRX configuration carries one or more of the aforementioned eDRX parameters.

[0051] The MME performs paging based on the eDRX configuration;

[0052] After receiving the CN paging message from the MME, the eNB forwards the CN paging message to the UE.

[0053] The eDRX parameters issued by the core network are transparently transmitted to the UE through base stations (e.g., evolved NBs or gNBs). For example, the Mobile Management Entity (MME) of the core network sends the eDRX parameters for the eDRX function to the UE through the eNB.

[0054] RRC idle state, or simply idle state, is a low-power state of the UE that is known to the core network.

[0055] The RRC inactive state, or simply inactive state, is a low-power state of the UE that is transparent to the core network. However, the inactive state is visible to the access network.

[0056] If the UE enters the inactive state, the UE needs to receive paging messages sent by the CN (i.e., CN paging messages) and also needs to receive paging messages sent by the Radio Access Network (RAN) (i.e., RAN paging messages).

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, this disclosure provides an RRM measurement configuration determination method, executed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

[0058] S110: determining, according to a non-connected state in which the UE is located and an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) configuration of the UE, related information, wherein the related information at least indicates a first DRX cycle and whether the UE has a first eDRX cycle.

[0059] S120: determining, according to the related information, measurement configuration for the UE to perform RRM measurement.

[0060] The non-connected state herein includes an idle state and / or an inactive state.

[0061] The UE includes, but is not limited to, a NR UE. The NR UE can be a UE using a NR carrier.

[0062] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the related information of the first DRX cycle and the first eDRX cycle for determining RRM measurement is determined according to the non-connected state in which the UE is located and the eDRX configuration of the UE.

[0063] It is worth noting that in the present application, the "first" in the first DRX cycle and the first eDRX cycle does not have a specific meaning itself, but the first DRX cycle and the first eDRX cycle are specifically used for determining the DRX cycle and the eDRX cycle of RRM measurement.

[0064] The related information has at least one of the following contents:

[0065] The first DRX cycle information at least indicates the first DRX cycle for determining the measurement configuration of RRM measurement.

[0066] The first eDRX cycle information includes, but is not limited to, indicating whether the first eDRX cycle is present or indicating the length of the first eDRX cycle when the first eDRX cycle is present.

[0067] The first DRX cycle information can include one or more bits indicating the length of the first DRX cycle, for example, the one or more bits indicate a length identifier of the length of the first DRX cycle.

[0068] The one or more bits indicate that the first DRX cycle is equal to any one of an idle state DRX cycle, a RAN paging cycle or a default paging cycle.

[0069] Exemplarily, the first eDRX cycle information includes a length value, if the length value is 0, it indicates that the UE does not have the first eDRX cycle, and if the length value is not 0, it indicates that the UE has the first eDRX cycle and the length of the first eDRX cycle is the length value.

[0070] Exemplarily, the first eDRX cycle information can include two bits, one bit corresponding to the idle state eDRX cycle of the UE, and the other bit corresponding to the inactive state eDRX cycle of the UE. The first eDRX cycle can be one of the idle state eDRX cycle and the inactive state eDRX cycle of the UE, and the corresponding bit value of the two bits is preset, indicating that the first eDRX cycle of the UE is equal to the idle state eDRX cycle or the inactive state eDRX cycle corresponding to the bit value of the preset bit. If only one of the two bits has a preset value, and both bits have a preset value, it can be considered that the UE does not have a first eDRX cycle.

[0071] Of course, the above is only an example of the information content and information description method of the related information, and the specific implementation is not limited thereto.

[0072] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the measurement configuration of the RRM measurement includes but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0073] The measurement configuration of the serving cell of the UE;

[0074] The measurement configuration of the intra-frequency neighbor cell of the UE;

[0075] The measurement configuration of the inter-frequency neighbor cell of the UE;

[0076] The measurement configuration of the inter-system cell of the UE.

[0077] The measurement configuration of the serving cell includes at least a measurement period.

[0078] The measurement configuration of the intra-frequency neighbor cell, the measurement configuration of the inter-frequency neighbor cell, and the measurement configuration of the inter-system cell can each include one or more of a detection period, a measurement period, and an evaluation period. The detection period can be used for the UE to identify and evaluate the identified neighbor cell. The measurement period is used for non-first measurement of the neighbor cell after the corresponding neighbor cell is identified. The evaluation period can be used for evaluation of the neighbor cell based on the measurement result after the neighbor cell is identified.

[0079] Generally, the detection period is greater than the measurement period and greater than the evaluation period, and the evaluation period is greater than the measurement period.

[0080] In the measurement period, the UE measures the Synchronization Signal and PBCH block (SSB) of the neighbor cell. PBCH is the abbreviation of Physical Broadcast Channel.

[0081] The measurement configuration of the UE for the intra-frequency neighbor cell and the inter-frequency neighbor cell can be the same or different.

[0082] In the case of determining the measurement configuration of the RRM measurement according to the related information, the measurement configuration of the RRM measurement can be determined according to the correspondence between the measurement configuration and the configuration of the first eDRX cycle and the first DRX cycle.

[0083] Exemplarily, the UE can receive a configuration table in which the above-mentioned correspondence is defined, so that the measurement configuration of the RRM measurement can be obtained by looking up the table according to the related information in S120.

[0084] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the related information is determined according to the non-connected state in which the UE is located and the eDRX configuration, so that whether the UE has the first eDRX cycle and the first DRX cycle is obtained, and thus the measurement configuration of the RRM measurement suitable for the current state and eDRX configuration of the UE can be determined according to the non-connected state in which the UE is located and the eDRX configuration configured by the UE, so as to reduce the power consumption caused by the UE frequently exiting the sleep state to perform the RRM measurement in the eDRX mode due to the inappropriate measurement configuration of the RRM measurement, thereby further saving the power consumption of the UE.

[0085] The non-connected state in which the UE is currently located can be the idle state or the inactive state, and the eDRX cycle configured by the network side for the UE can be the idle state eDRX cycle or the inactive state eDRX cycle. Of course, the UE can be configured with any one or both of the idle state eDRX cycle and the inactive state eDRX cycle, or can not be configured with the idle state eDRX cycle and the inactive state eDRX cycle.

[0086] Therefore, in this case, the non-connected state in which the UE is located and the eDRX configuration can be subdivided into various cases, which are described separately as follows.

[0087] The following description will refer to the second cycle, the third cycle and the first cycle. Exemplarily, the second cycle can be a cycle with a length of 10.24s, the third cycle can be a cycle with a length of 5.12s, and the first cycle can be a cycle with a length of 2.56s.

[0088] In summary, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, whether the UE has the first eDRX cycle and the first DRX cycle of the UE can be determined according to the non-connected state in which the UE is located and the eDRX configuration in S110.

[0089] Case A:

[0090] In response to the UE being in the idle state, the idle state eDRX cycle of the UE being configured with the first cycle, and at least one of the UE and / or the anchor base station of the UE not supporting the idle state eDRX cycle of the first cycle.

[0091] At this time, it can be determined that the UE does not have the first eDRX cycle, and the first DRX cycle is equal to the idle mode eDRX cycle.

[0092] The UE does not have the first eDRX cycle, and the first DRX cycle of the UE can be equal to the idle mode eDRX cycle.

[0093] Exemplarily, if the network side (core network and / or access network) configures the idle mode eDRX cycle of the UE as the first cycle, but one or more of the UE and / or the anchor base station or the serving base station connected by the UE do not support the idle mode eDRX cycle as the first cycle, at this time, the UE in the idle mode can be determined as not having the first eDRX cycle, and the first eDRX cycle can be equal to the idle mode eDRX cycle configured by the network side.

[0094] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the first cycle can be the minimum eDRX cycle supported by the eDRX mode. Exemplarily, the first cycle can be an eDRX cycle with a duration of 2.56s in the eDRX mode.

[0095] Case B:

[0096] In response to the UE being in the inactive state, the inactive mode eDRX cycle of the UE is configured as the first cycle, and at least one of the UE and / or the anchor base station of the UE does not support the inactive mode eDRX cycle as the first cycle, at this time, the UE can be considered as not having the first eDRX cycle, and the first DRX cycle is equal to the inactive mode eDRX cycle.

[0097] In case B, the UE in the inactive state does not have the first eDRX cycle, and the first DRX cycle of the UE can be equal to the inactive mode eDRX cycle.

[0098] Exemplarily, if the network side (core network and / or access network) configures the inactive mode eDRX cycle of the UE as the first cycle, but one or more of the UE and / or the anchor base station or the serving base station connected by the UE do not support the inactive mode eDRX cycle as the first cycle, at this time, the UE in the inactive state can be determined as not having the first eDRX cycle, and the first eDRX cycle can be equal to the inactive mode eDRX cycle configured by the network side.

[0099] Case C:

[0100] In response to the UE being in the inactive state, the idle mode eDRX cycle of the UE is not greater than the second cycle, and the inactive mode eDRX cycle of the UE is not configured.

[0101] In case C, the UE does not have a first eDRX cycle and the first DRX cycle is determined according to the idle mode eDRX configuration of the UE.

[0102] Exemplarily, the first DRX cycle of the UE can be: an idle mode DRX cycle defined by the idle mode eDRX configuration; or, the first DRX cycle equals to the smaller one of the idle mode eDRX cycle and a radio access network (RAN) paging cycle.

[0103] Since the UE is in the inactive state and since the UE is not configured with an inactive mode eDRX cycle, the RRM configuration for such an inactive UE can not have a first eDRX cycle, but only determine the measurement configuration for RRM measurement according to the first DRX cycle.

[0104] The first DRX cycle at this time can be: a cycle when the UE enters into a DRX mode in the inactive state, which can be an idle mode DRX cycle or a RAN paging cycle in the inactive state.

[0105] Therefore, configuring the first DRX cycle as the idle mode DRX cycle or the RAN paging cycle can both be related to the current cycle of the inactive UE.

[0106] Case D: the UE is in the idle state, the idle mode eDRX cycle of the UE is not greater than the second cycle and the inactive mode eDRX cycle of the UE is not configured.

[0107] In case D, the UE can be considered to have the first eDRX cycle equal to the idle mode eDRX cycle and the first DRX cycle is determined according to the idle mode eDRX configuration of the UE.

[0108] Since the UE is in the idle state, the UE will enter into an eDRX mode according to the idle mode eDRX cycle, so the idle mode eDRX cycle can be determined as the first eDRX cycle, and the first DRX cycle is further determined according to the idle mode eDRX cycle.

[0109] The idle mode eDRX cycle is not greater than the second cycle, i.e., the eDRX cycle can be the first cycle to the third cycle.

[0110] The first cycle is less than the third cycle, and the third cycle is less than the second cycle.

[0111] Exemplarily, it is assumed that the length of the first cycle is 2.56s, and the length of the third cycle is 5.12s; the length of the second cycle is 10.24s.

[0112] Exemplarily, the first DRX cycle can all equal to the idle mode eDRX cycle.

[0113] Exemplarily, the first DRX cycle is determined according to the first eDRX cycle. For example, the first DRX cycle can be equal to the first eDRX cycle, or the first DRX cycle can be any eDRX cycle corresponding to any eDRX mode smaller than or equal to the first eDRX cycle.

[0114] Case E:

[0115] The UE is in the inactive state, the UE is configured with an idle state eDRX cycle and an inactive state eDRX cycle, and neither of the idle state eDRX cycle and the inactive state eDRX cycle is greater than the second cycle.

[0116] In case E, the first eDRX cycle of the UE can be at least one of the following:

[0117] The first eDRX cycle is the smaller one of the inactive state eDRX cycle and the idle state eDRX cycle;

[0118] The first eDRX cycle is the inactive state eDRX cycle.

[0119] The first DRX cycle of the UE can be:

[0120] Any one of the first cycle to the third cycle.

[0121] Exemplarily, the first DRX cycle is determined according to the first eDRX cycle. For example, the first DRX cycle can be equal to the first eDRX cycle, or the first DRX cycle can be any eDRX cycle corresponding to any eDRX mode smaller than or equal to the first eDRX cycle.

[0122] Case F: in response to the UE being in the idle state, the idle state eDRX cycle of the UE is greater than the second cycle and the UE is not configured with an inactive state eDRX cycle.

[0123] In case F, the first eDRX cycle of the UE can be as follows:

[0124] It can be determined that the UE does not have the first eDRX cycle;

[0125] Alternatively,

[0126] It can be determined that the UE has a first eDRX cycle equal to the idle state eDRX cycle.

[0127] The first DRX cycle of the UE can be at least one of the following:

[0128] The first DRX cycle is equal to the idle state eDRX cycle;

[0129] The first DRX cycle is equal to the RAN paging cycle;

[0130] The first DRX cycle can be equal to the smaller of the idle mode eDRX cycle and the RAN paging cycle.

[0131] The first DRX cycle can be equal to the smaller of the idle mode eDRX cycle and the RAN paging cycle.

[0132] In some embodiments, if the idle mode eDRX cycle of the UE is greater than the second cycle, the idle mode eDRX cycle of the UE has a PTW, and if the idle mode eDRX cycle is configured as the first eDRX cycle, the measurement time for RRM measurements can be limited to the PTW of the idle mode eDRX cycle.

[0133] Case G: the UE is in the inactive state, the idle mode eDRX cycle of the UE is greater than the second cycle and is not configured with an inactive mode eDRX cycle.

[0134] In case G, the first eDRX cycle of the UE can be equal to the idle mode eDRX cycle.

[0135] The first DRX cycle of the UE can be determined according to the idle mode eDRX configuration.

[0136] Exemplarily, the first DRX cycle can be at least one of:

[0137] The first DRX cycle is the smaller of the idle mode eDRX cycle configured by the idle mode eDRX configuration and the default paging cycle.

[0138] The first DRX cycle is the idle mode eDRX cycle configured by the idle mode eDRX configuration.

[0139] The first DRX cycle can also be the smallest of the idle mode eDRX cycle configured by the idle mode eDRX configuration, the RAN paging cycle configured by the inactive mode eDRX configuration, and the default paging cycle.

[0140] In some embodiments, if the idle mode eDRX cycle of the UE is greater than the second cycle, the idle mode eDRX cycle of the UE has a PTW, and if the idle mode eDRX cycle is configured as the first eDRX cycle, the measurement time for RRM measurements can be limited to the PTW of the idle mode eDRX cycle.

[0141] Case H:

[0142] The UE is in the idle state, the idle mode eDRX cycle of the UE is greater than the second cycle and is configured with an inactive mode eDRX cycle that is not greater than the second cycle.

[0143] In case H, the UE can be considered to have a first eDRX cycle equal to the idle mode eDRX cycle.

[0144] The measurement time of the RRM measurement can be within a PTW of the idle mode eDRX cycle.

[0145] The first DRX cycle can be determined according to the idle mode eDRX configuration, in particular can be one of the following:

[0146] The first DRX cycle is the DRX cycle defined by the idle mode eDRX configuration.

[0147] The first DRX cycle is the smaller one of the eDRX cycle defined by the idle mode eDRX configuration and the default paging cycle.

[0148] Case J: the UE is in the inactive mode, the idle mode eDRX cycle of the UE is larger than the second cycle and is configured with an inactive mode eDRX cycle not larger than the second cycle.

[0149] In case J, the first eDRX cycle of the UE can be one of the following:

[0150] The first eDRX cycle is equal to the idle mode eDRX cycle.

[0151] The first eDRX cycle is equal to the smaller one of the idle mode eDRX cycle and the inactive mode eDRX cycle.

[0152] In this case, if the first eDRX cycle is equal to the idle mode eDRX cycle, the first DRX cycle of the UE can be one of the following:

[0153] The first DRX cycle is the idle mode DRX cycle defined by the idle mode eDRX configuration.

[0225] For an idle state UE, an idle state eDRX cycle of 2.56s is configured.

[0226] Case 1: If the base station does not support an idle state eDRX cycle of 2.56s and / or the terminal does not support an idle state eDRX cycle of 2.56s, or the terminal determines that the UE is not configured with an eDRX cycle at this time, then the DRX cycle is 2.56s at this time, and the measurement parameters of the UE when performing RRM measurement can be performed in the following manner:

[0247] Option 3:

[0248] The requirement of defining eDRX cycle as 2.56s is directly reused from the case of defining DRX cycle as 2.56s, and is added to the requirement table of normal DRX as a special case.

[0249] As an embodiment, the measurement configuration for RRM measurement of the serving cell can refer to Table 6.

[0250] The measurement parameters for RRM measurement of the neighbor cell can be determined according to Table 7, where the neighbor cell includes but is not limited to the intra-frequency neighbor cell and / or the inter-frequency cell.

[0267] It is determined that the UE is configured with an eDRX cycle; and the eDRX cycle is an idle mode eDRX cycle;

[0268] For the idle mode UE:

[0269] DRX-cycle length = min{idle mode DRX cycle, default paging cycle}

[0270] For the inactive mode UE:

[0271] DRX-cycle length = min{idle mode DRX cycle, default paging cycle}

[0272] Or min{idle mode DRX cycle, default paging cycle, RAN paging cycle}

[0273] Wherein the length of the PTW is the length of the idle mode PTW;

[0274] The RRM measurement can be configured according to any one of the tables 2 to 5

[0275] Way 2: The time of RRM measurement is not limited in the PTW window of CN paging, and it is determined that: UE is not configured with eDRX cycle DRX cycle = min{idle state eDRX cycle, RAN paging cycle}

[0276] The measurement parameters during RRM measurement can be determined according to the content shown in Table 1.

[0278] Way 1: The time of RRM measurement is only limited in the PTW (i.e. PTW1) window of CN paging, wherein:

[0279] eDRX cycle = idle state eDRX cycle

[0280] For idle state UE:

[0281] DRX-cycle length = min{idle state DRX cycle, default paging cycle}

[0282] For inactive state UE:

[0283] DRX-cycle length = min{idle state DRX cycle, default paging cycle}

[0284] Or min{idle state DRX cycle, default paging cycle, RAN paging cycle}

[0285] Wherein the length of PTW is idle state PTW length.

[0293] If eDRX cycle = 2.56 at this time, it can be performed according to the provisions of 2.56s in case 2 requirements;

[0294] If eDRX cycle = 5.12 or 10.24 at this time, RRM measurement can be determined according to any one of tables 2 to 5 to determine the measurement configuration of RRM measurement

[0296] Method 1: The time of RRM measurement is only limited within the PTW of CN paging PTW1, wherein:

[0297] eDRX cycle is idle state eDRX cycle

[0298] For idle state UE:

[0306] DRX-cycle length = min{idle-state DRX cycle, default paging cycle, RAN paging cycle}

[0307] min{idle-state DRX cycle, default paging cycle, RAN paging cycle}

[0308] or min{default paging cycle, RAN paging cycle}

[0309] or RAN paging cycle

[0310] where the length of the PTW is the non-active-state PTW length.

[0311] RRM measurements can be configured according to any one of Tables 2-5.

[0312] Option 3: Time for RRM measurements limited to non-active-state UEs is not limited to within the CN paging g's PTW, where:

[0313] eDRX cycle = min{idle-state eDRX cycle, non-active-state eDRX cycle} or non-active-state eDRX cycle.

[0314] DRX-cycle length = min{idle-state DRX cycle, default paging cycle, RAN paging cycle}.

[0315] The length of the PTW is min{idle-state PTW, non-active-state PTW}.

[0472] Exemplarily, the measurement configuration of the RRM measurement can be determined according to Table 2 and Table 3. The measurement configuration can include the measurement configuration of the RRM measurement of the serving cell and / or the measurement configuration of the RRM measurement of the neighbor cell.

[0479] The first DRX cycle is the minimum of the idle state DRX cycle defined by the idle state eDRX configuration, the RAN paging cycle defined by the inactive state eDRX configuration, and the default paging cycle.

[0480] Since the UE has both the first eDRX cycle and the first DRX cycle, the measurement configuration of the RRM measurement of the UE is determined in combination with the first eDRX cycle and the first DRX cycle.

[0481] Exemplarily, the measurement configuration of the RRM measurement can be determined according to Table 4 and Table 5. The measurement configuration can include the measurement configuration of the RRM measurement of the serving cell and / or the measurement configuration of the RRM measurement of the neighbor cell.

[0489] Since the UE has both the first eDRX cycle and the first DRX cycle, the measurement configuration of the RRM measurement of the UE is determined in combination with the first eDRX cycle and the first DRX cycle.

[0490] For example, the measurement configuration for RRM measurements can be determined according to Tables 6 and 7. This measurement configuration may include: the RRM measurement configuration for the serving cell and / or the RRM measurement configuration for neighboring cells.

If the first eDRX period is equal to the inactive eDRX period, the measurement time of the UE's RRM measurement is within the PTW of the inactive eDRX period.

[0498] Since the UE has both a first eDRX cycle and a first DRX cycle, the measurement configuration for the UE's RRM measurement will be determined by combining the first eDRX cycle and the first DRX cycle.

This measurement configuration may include: the RRM measurement configuration for the serving cell and / or the RRM measurement configuration for neighboring cells.
