Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mobile communication technology, and in particular to a cell scheduling method, apparatus, electronic device, and readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] When the User Equipment (UE) is in Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection mode, it needs to monitor the network coverage in the current environment through cell search and cell measurement so that the UE can switch to a cell with better communication quality when the communication quality of the serving cell is poor.

[0003] Taking searching for or measuring co-frequency cells as an example, in related technologies, UEs typically use a fixed scheduling period to search for or measure co-frequency cells. For example, the UE searches for or measures co-frequency cells every 40 milliseconds.

[0004] However, the above methods for searching or measuring co-frequency cells have the problem of poor flexibility. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a cell scheduling method, apparatus, electronic device, and readable storage medium, which can improve the flexibility of searching for and / or measuring co-frequency cells.

[0006] Firstly, a cell scheduling method is provided, the method comprising:

[0007] Obtain the communication status of the user equipment;

[0008] The frequency configuration parameters of the user equipment in the communication state are determined according to the frequency scheduling strategy; wherein the frequency scheduling strategy includes the mapping relationship between the communication state, the frequency configuration parameters, and the frequency scheduling period;

[0009] The target co-frequency scheduling period of the user equipment is determined based on the co-frequency configuration parameters, wherein the target co-frequency scheduling period is used by the user equipment to search for and / or measure cells.

[0010] Secondly, a cell scheduling device is provided, the device comprising:

[0011] The first acquisition module is configured to acquire the communication status of the user equipment;

[0012] The parameter determination module is configured to determine the co-frequency configuration parameters of the user equipment in the communication state according to the co-frequency scheduling strategy; wherein the co-frequency scheduling strategy includes a mapping relationship between the communication state, the co-frequency configuration parameters, and the co-frequency scheduling period;

[0013] The period determination module is configured to determine the target co-frequency scheduling period of the user equipment based on the co-frequency configuration parameters, wherein the target co-frequency scheduling period is used by the user equipment to search for and / or measure cells.

[0014] Thirdly, an electronic device is provided, including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by the processor, the processor performs the steps of the cell scheduling method as described in the first aspect above.

[0015] Fourthly, a computer-readable storage medium is provided having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the cell scheduling method described in the first aspect above.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided in this application include at least the following:

[0017] By acquiring the communication status of the user equipment (UE), and then determining the UE's frequency-matching configuration parameters for that communication status according to a frequency-matching scheduling strategy, which includes a mapping relationship between the communication status, frequency-matching configuration parameters, and frequency-matching scheduling period, the target frequency-matching scheduling period for the UE is determined based on the frequency-matching configuration parameters. This target frequency-matching scheduling period is used by the UE to search for and / or measure cells. Compared to traditional technologies that uniformly use a fixed scheduling period when searching for or measuring cells at the same frequency, this embodiment of the application configures different target frequency-matching scheduling periods through a frequency-matching scheduling strategy to search for and / or measure cells under different communication statuses, thereby improving the flexibility of the UE in searching for and / or measuring cells at the same frequency. For example, when the communication status is active, the target frequency-matching scheduling period can be configured to be shorter, allowing the UE to search for and / or measure cells at the same frequency more frequently, ensuring the accuracy of cell search and measurement. When the communication status is idle, the target frequency-matching scheduling period can be configured to be longer, reducing the frequency of the UE searching for and / or measuring cells at the same frequency in the idle state, thereby reducing the UE's power consumption. Therefore, the embodiments of this application can improve the flexibility of user equipment in searching for and / or measuring co-frequency cells. Attached Figure Description

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0038] In 5G networks, when a user equipment (UE) is in RRC connected state (RRC_CONNECTED), it needs to search for and measure co-frequency cells to monitor network coverage in the current environment. The protocol specifies the time period requirements for UE cell searching and cell measurement, as shown in Tables 1 and 2. Table 1 shows the time period requirements for UE cell searching, and Table 2 shows the time period requirements for UE cell measurement.

[0039] Table 1

[0040]

[0041] Table 2

[0042]

[0043] in:

[0044] T PSS / SSS_sync_intra The requirement for the time period for user equipment to search for co-frequency cells.

[0045] T SSB_measurement_period_intra The need to measure the time period of co-frequency cells for user equipment.

[0046] SMTC (SSB measurement timing configurations) is a user equipment configuration for a base station that can be used to search for co-frequency cells or measure the time and location of co-frequency cells. The SMTC period is 5ms, 10ms, 20ms, 40ms, 80ms, and 160ms.

[0047] K p This is used to extend the time period for searching and measuring co-frequency cells.

[0048] The DRX cycle (Discontinuous Reception cycle) can be configured as follows: short DRX cycles are 2ms, 3ms, 4ms, 5ms, 6ms, 7ms, 8ms, 10ms, 14ms, 16ms, 20ms, 32ms, 35ms, 40ms, 64ms, 80ms, 128ms, 160ms, 256ms, 320ms, 512ms, and 640ms; long DRX cycles are configurable as follows: 10ms, 20ms, 30ms, 32ms, 40ms, 60ms, 64ms, 70ms, 80ms, 128ms, 160ms, 256ms, 320ms, 512ms, 640ms, 1024ms, 1280ms, 2048ms, 2560ms, 5120ms, and 10240ms.

[0049] CSSF intra (Carrier Specific Scaling Factor, time factor at the same frequency measurement point) is used to extend the time period. In the case of same-frequency measurement, CSSF intra =1.

[0050] For example, with K p and CSSF intra Taking a SMTC period of 5ms, 10ms, 20ms, 40ms, 80ms, and 160ms as an example, and a discontinuous reception period of No DRX, 80ms, 256ms, 320ms, 640ms, and 1024ms as an example, the time period requirement for user equipment to search for co-frequency cells is calculated based on Table 1, as shown in Table 3:

[0051] Table 3

[0052]

[0053] Thus, taking an SMTC period of 5ms and a DRX period of 80ms as an example, according to Table 3, the user equipment needs to search for co-frequency cells with a time period of 640ms.

[0054] For example, with K p and CSSF intra Taking a time period of 5ms, 10ms, 20ms, 40ms, 80ms, and 160ms as an example, and discontinuous reception periods of No DRX, 80ms, 256ms, 320ms, 640ms, and 1024ms as an example, the time period requirement for user equipment to measure co-frequency cells is calculated based on Table 1, as shown in Table 4:

[0055] Table 4

[0056]

[0057] Thus, taking an SMTC period of 5ms and a DRX period of 80ms as an example, according to Table 4, the user equipment needs to measure the co-frequency cell with a time period of 640ms.

[0058] However, in traditional technologies, when user equipment (UE) searches for or measures co-frequency cells, it typically uses a fixed scheduling period. For example, the UE searches for or measures a co-frequency cell every 40 milliseconds. The problem with this approach is that if the fixed scheduling period is too large, the frequency of searching for or measuring co-frequency cells is low when the UE is in operation, which is detrimental to improving the accuracy of the search. Conversely, if the fixed scheduling period is too small, the frequency of searching for or measuring co-frequency cells is high when the UE is idle, requiring the UE to frequently switch on and off to search for or measure co-frequency cells, thus increasing the UE's power consumption.

[0059] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a cell scheduling method. In this method, the communication status of a user equipment (UE) is obtained, and the co-frequency configuration parameters of the UE in that communication status are determined according to a co-frequency scheduling strategy. Then, a target co-frequency scheduling period for the UE is determined based on the co-frequency configuration parameters. The target co-frequency scheduling period is used by the UE to search for and / or measure cells. Thus, compared to traditional technologies that uniformly use a fixed scheduling period when searching for or measuring co-frequency cells, this embodiment of the application configures different target co-frequency scheduling periods through a co-frequency scheduling strategy to search for and / or measure cells under different communication statuses, which can improve the flexibility of the UE in searching for and / or measuring co-frequency cells. For example, when the communication status is active, the duration of the target co-frequency scheduling period can be configured to be shorter, so that the UE searches for and / or measures co-frequency cells more frequently, ensuring the accuracy of cell search and cell measurement. When the communication status is idle, the duration of the target co-frequency scheduling period can be configured to be longer, so as to reduce the frequency of the UE searching for and / or measuring co-frequency cells in the idle state, thereby reducing the power consumption of the UE. Therefore, the embodiments of this application can improve the flexibility of user equipment in searching for and / or measuring co-frequency cells.

[0060] The following is a brief description of the implementation environment involved in the cell scheduling method provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0061] For example, such as Figure 1As shown, the implementation environment may include a base station 101 and a user equipment (UE) 102, which can communicate with each other via a network.

[0062] Among them, base station 101 can be any type of base station equipment such as macro base station, micro base station or pico base station; user equipment 102 can be smartphone, laptop, tablet, smartwatch, smart bracelet, smart glasses, etc., and there is no specific restriction on the type of user equipment 102.

[0063] It should be noted that the cell scheduling method provided in this application embodiment can be executed by a cell scheduling device, which can be implemented as part or all of the user equipment 102 through software, hardware or a combination of software and hardware.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 2 It illustrates a flowchart of a cell scheduling method provided in an embodiment of this application, which is applied to... Figure 1 The following explanation will be based on user equipment 102. Figure 2 As shown, the cell scheduling method may include the following steps:

[0065] Step 101: The user equipment obtains the communication status of the user equipment.

[0066] After a user equipment (UE) establishes a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with a base station, the UE can communicate with the base station. While the UE is in an RRC connection state, the base station can configure a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle for the UE. For example, the base station sends a DRX cycle parameter to the UE. Upon receiving this parameter, the UE enters discontinuous reception mode according to the DRX cycle indicated by the parameter. In discontinuous reception mode, the UE still maintains an RRC connection with the base station; however, the UE does not need to continuously listen for downlink data, thus saving power consumption.

[0067] In this embodiment, the user equipment can determine its current communication state (either active or idle) by detecting whether it receives the DRX periodic parameters configured by the base station. The following is a brief description of how the user equipment determines its current communication state.

[0068] In one implementation, after receiving the DRX periodic parameters sent by the base station, the user equipment stores the DRX periodic parameters in a preset location in the physical layer. In this way, if the user equipment needs to obtain the communication status of the user equipment, it can check whether the DRX periodic parameters are stored in the preset location. If the DRX periodic parameters are not stored, the user equipment determines that the current communication status of the user equipment is the working state.

[0069] Furthermore, if the preset location stores DRX period parameters, the user equipment detects whether it is currently receiving downlink data. This downlink data can be any communication data sent by the base station during the communication process between the user equipment and the base station. If the user equipment is currently receiving downlink data, it is determined that the current communication state of the user equipment is working. If the user equipment is not currently receiving downlink data, it is determined that the current communication state of the user equipment is idle.

[0070] Step 102: The user equipment determines the co-frequency configuration parameters of the user equipment in the communication state according to the co-frequency scheduling strategy.

[0071] In this embodiment of the application, the user equipment may have a pre-configured co-frequency scheduling strategy, which includes the mapping relationship between communication status, co-frequency configuration parameters and co-frequency scheduling period.

[0072] In one possible implementation, for each communication state, the same-frequency scheduling strategy includes a period calculation formula for calculating the same-frequency scheduling period corresponding to that communication state based on the same-frequency configuration parameters corresponding to that communication state. In this way, the user equipment can determine the same-frequency configuration parameters required for the period calculation formula corresponding to the user equipment in the current communication state based on the same-frequency scheduling strategy.

[0073] In another possible implementation, for each communication state, the same-frequency scheduling strategy includes the same-frequency configuration parameters corresponding to the communication state and the same-frequency scheduling period corresponding to the same-frequency configuration parameters. That is, the communication state is associated with the specific same-frequency scheduling period through the same-frequency configuration parameters.

[0074] In this way, the user equipment can determine the same-frequency configuration parameters of the user equipment in the current communication state according to the same-frequency scheduling strategy.

[0075] In this embodiment of the application, the co-frequency configuration parameters may include the period parameters configured by the base station. The period parameters configured by the base station may include at least one of the SSB (Synchronization Signal / PBCH block) measurement configuration period (also known as the SMTC period) and the DRX period.

[0076] Optionally, the co-frequency configuration parameters may also include periodic parameters determined by the user equipment based on the communication quality of the serving cell of the user equipment. For example, it may include the minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells. For instance, when the communication quality of the serving cell is low, the minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells may be 10ms or 20ms, and when the communication quality of the serving cell is high, the minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells may be 40ms, and so on.

[0077] Optionally, the co-frequency configuration parameters may also include a co-frequency scheduling factor determined by the user equipment based on the communication quality of the serving cell of the user equipment. The magnitude of the co-frequency scheduling factor may be positively correlated with the communication quality of the serving cell.

[0078] Step 103: The user equipment determines the target co-frequency scheduling period based on the co-frequency configuration parameters.

[0079] For example, after the user equipment determines the co-frequency configuration parameters, the user equipment determines the period calculation formula of the co-frequency scheduling period corresponding to the communication state in the co-frequency scheduling policy. Substituting the co-frequency configuration parameters into the period calculation formula, the user equipment obtains the target co-frequency scheduling period; or, the user equipment directly determines the co-frequency scheduling period corresponding to the co-frequency configuration parameters in the co-frequency scheduling policy to obtain the target co-frequency scheduling period. The target co-frequency scheduling period is used by the user equipment to search for and / or measure cells.

[0080] In this embodiment, the target co-frequency scheduling period can be different for different communication states. For example, the target co-frequency scheduling period when the communication state is active can be shorter than the target co-frequency scheduling period when the communication state is idle. That is, when the user equipment is idle, the duration of the target co-frequency scheduling period is longer, which can reduce the frequency of the user equipment searching for and / or measuring co-frequency cells in the idle state, thereby reducing the power consumption of the user equipment. On the other hand, when the user equipment is active, the duration of the target co-frequency scheduling period is shorter, which allows the user equipment to search for and / or measure co-frequency cells more frequently, ensuring the accuracy of cell search and cell measurement for the user equipment.

[0081] The implementation process of step 103 will be described below in conjunction with the timing of the user equipment executing the cell scheduling method of the embodiment of this application.

[0082] First, the timing of when the user equipment executes the cell scheduling method of this embodiment will be introduced.

[0083] For example, during the process of searching for and / or measuring co-frequency cells, after each search for and / or measurement of co-frequency cells, the user equipment can execute the method steps of the above embodiments to determine the latest target co-frequency scheduling period for searching and / or measuring co-frequency cells.

[0084] Thus, the user equipment can perform the following steps to achieve the process of step 103: the user equipment reduces the first co-frequency scheduling period of the cell search and / or measurement to improve the accuracy of the search and / or measurement; and / or, the user equipment increases the second co-frequency scheduling period of the cell search and / or measurement to reduce the power consumption of the user equipment.

[0085] The first and second frequency-based scheduling periods can both be the frequency-based scheduling periods of the user equipment's most recent cell search and / or measurement, with the current time as a reference. After searching and / or measuring cells based on the first frequency-based scheduling period, if the user equipment's current communication state is active, the user equipment decreases the first frequency-based scheduling period and uses the decreased first frequency-based scheduling period as the target frequency-based scheduling period for the next cell search and / or measurement. After searching and / or measuring cells based on the second frequency-based scheduling period, if the user equipment's current communication state is idle, the user equipment increases the second frequency-based scheduling period and uses the increased second frequency-based scheduling period as the target frequency-based scheduling period for the next cell search and / or measurement.

[0086] Furthermore, the user equipment can calculate the next scheduling location based on the historical scheduling location of the most recent search and / or measurement cell and the target in-frequency scheduling period determined above.

[0087] For example, after the user equipment first searches for and / or measures co-frequency cells, it obtains the communication status of the user equipment and then determines the target co-frequency scheduling period of the user equipment. Then, based on the scheduling position of the first search for and / or measurement of co-frequency cells and the target co-frequency scheduling period, the user equipment determines the scheduling position for the second search for and / or measurement of co-frequency cells.

[0088] Similarly, after the second search for and / or measurement of co-frequency cells, the user equipment obtains the latest target co-frequency scheduling period to determine the scheduling location for the third search for and / or measurement of co-frequency cells, and so on.

[0089] It should be noted that the timing for a user equipment to first search for and / or measure co-frequency cells can be when the user equipment receives a cell scheduling instruction from the base station, receives a periodic parameter configuration from the base station, or detects that the communication quality of the user equipment's serving cell is poor, etc., without specific restrictions.

[0090] In this way, during operation, the user equipment reduces the first co-frequency scheduling period for searching and / or measuring cells, thereby increasing the frequency of cell searches and / or measurements and improving the accuracy of cell searches and / or measurements. During idle operation, the user equipment increases the second co-frequency scheduling period for searching and / or measuring cells, thereby reducing the frequency of cell searches and / or measurements and lowering the power consumption of the user equipment.

[0091] The above embodiments obtain the communication status of the user equipment (UE), which is either active or idle. Then, based on a preset co-frequency scheduling strategy, the co-frequency configuration parameters for the communication status are determined. This co-frequency scheduling strategy includes a mapping relationship between the communication status, co-frequency configuration parameters, and co-frequency scheduling period. Based on the co-frequency configuration parameters, the target co-frequency scheduling period for the UE is determined. The target co-frequency scheduling period is used by the UE to search for and / or measure co-frequency cells. Thus, compared to traditional technologies that uniformly use a fixed scheduling period when searching for or measuring co-frequency cells, this embodiment configures different target co-frequency scheduling periods through the co-frequency scheduling strategy to search for and / or measure co-frequency cells under different communication states, which can improve the flexibility of the UE in searching for and / or measuring co-frequency cells. For example, when the communication state is active, the target co-frequency scheduling period can be configured to be shorter, allowing the user equipment to search for and / or measure co-frequency cells more frequently, thus ensuring the accuracy of cell search and measurement. When the communication state is idle, the target co-frequency scheduling period can be configured to be longer, reducing the frequency of cell search and / or cell measurement by the user equipment in idle mode, thereby reducing the power consumption of the user equipment. Therefore, the embodiments of this application can improve the flexibility of user equipment in searching for and / or measuring co-frequency cells.

[0092] In one embodiment, based on Figure 2 The embodiment shown describes how a user equipment (UE) determines its target co-frequency scheduling period based on co-frequency configuration parameters when the communication state is active.

[0093] In this embodiment of the application, if the communication state is in the working state, the co-frequency configuration parameters include the minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells and the SSB measurement configuration period.

[0094] The minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells is determined based on the communication quality data of the serving cell of the user equipment. The minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells can be positively correlated with the communication quality represented by the communication quality data of the serving cell of the user equipment. The communication quality data can be the RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power) and SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio) of the serving cell measured most recently by the user equipment. When the communication quality of the serving cell, represented by RSRP and SINR, is low, the minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells can be, for example, 10ms or 20ms. When the communication quality of the serving cell, represented by RSRP and SINR, is high, the minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells can be, for example, 40ms, and so on.

[0095] The SSB measurement configuration period is determined based on network configuration information. For example, the SSB measurement configuration period can be sent from the base station to the user equipment.

[0096] See Figure 3 User equipment can perform Figure 3 Step 1031 shown is implemented Figure 1 Step 103:

[0097] Step 1031: The user equipment determines the target co-frequency scheduling period based on the co-frequency scheduling strategy, the minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells, and the SSB measurement configuration period.

[0098] After the user equipment determines the minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells and the SSB measurement configuration period, for example, the user equipment can substitute the minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells and the SSB measurement configuration period into the period calculation formula corresponding to the current communication state of the user equipment in the co-frequency scheduling strategy to obtain the target co-frequency scheduling period of the user equipment.

[0099] In one possible implementation of step 1031 (or step 103), the user equipment determines the target co-frequency scheduling period based on the minimum period of scheduling co-frequency cells and the maximum period of SSB measurement configuration period according to the co-frequency scheduling strategy.

[0100] Assuming the minimum scheduling period for co-frequency cells is represented by Tbasic, and the SSB measurement and configuration period is represented by Tsmtc, then the target co-frequency scheduling period = max(Tbasic, Tsmtc). For example, if the minimum scheduling period for co-frequency cells is 40ms and the SSB measurement and configuration period is 20ms, the user equipment determines the target co-frequency scheduling period to be 40ms; conversely, if the minimum scheduling period for co-frequency cells is 40ms and the SSB measurement and configuration period is 80ms, the user equipment determines the target co-frequency scheduling period to be 80ms.

[0101] In another possible implementation of step 1031 (or step 103), see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 User equipment can perform Figure 4 Steps 301 and 302 shown implement the process of step 1031 or step 103:

[0102] Step 301: The user equipment determines the minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells and the maximum period in the SSB measurement configuration period according to the co-frequency scheduling strategy.

[0103] That is, determine the larger of the minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells and the SSB measurement configuration period.

[0104] Step 302: The user equipment determines the target co-frequency scheduling period by multiplying the determined maximum period and the first co-frequency scheduling factor.

[0105] In this embodiment, the co-frequency configuration parameters further include a first co-frequency scheduling factor, which is determined based on the communication quality data of the serving cell of the user equipment. As described above, the communication quality data can be the RSRP and SINR of the serving cell most recently measured by the user equipment. After obtaining the RSRP and SINR, the user equipment can compare the RSRP with a preset first received power threshold and a preset second received power threshold, and compare the SINR with a preset first signal-to-noise ratio threshold and a preset second signal-to-noise ratio threshold, respectively. The first received power threshold is greater than the second received power threshold, and the first signal-to-noise ratio threshold is greater than the second signal-to-noise ratio threshold.

[0106] If RSRP is greater than the first received power threshold and SINR is greater than the first signal-to-noise ratio threshold, it indicates that the communication quality of the serving cell of the user equipment is good, and the user equipment determines the first co-frequency scheduling factor to be 3; if RSRP is less than the second received power threshold and SINR is less than the second signal-to-noise ratio threshold, it indicates that the communication quality of the serving cell of the user equipment is poor, and the user equipment determines the first co-frequency scheduling factor to be 1; otherwise, the user equipment determines the first co-frequency scheduling factor to be 2.

[0107] Assuming the first co-frequency scheduling factor is represented by K1, then the target co-frequency scheduling period = K1 * max(Tbasic, Tsmtc). For example, if K1 = 1, the minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells is 40ms, the SSB measurement and configuration period is 20ms, and the user equipment determines the target co-frequency scheduling period to be 40ms; if K1 = 1, the minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells is 40ms, the SSB measurement and configuration period is 80ms, and the user equipment determines the target co-frequency scheduling period to be 80ms.

[0108] In this way, the first co-frequency scheduling factor can be flexibly adjusted according to the communication quality of the serving cell of the user equipment. When the communication quality is good, the value of the first co-frequency scheduling factor is larger, which can increase the duration of the target co-frequency scheduling period and save the power consumption of the user equipment. When the communication quality is poor, the value of the first co-frequency scheduling factor is smaller, which can compress the duration of the target co-frequency scheduling period, improve the performance of the user equipment in searching for and measuring co-frequency cells, and ensure the mobility of the user equipment.

[0109] The following explanation, in conjunction with the illustrations, illustrates how user equipment determines the target frequency scheduling period during operation.

[0110] See Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an exemplary target frequency scheduling cycle and SSB measurement configuration cycle.

[0111] like Figure 5 As shown, when K1 equals 1, the minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells is 40ms. When the SSB measurement and configuration period (i.e., the SMTC period) is 20ms, the user equipment determines the target co-frequency scheduling period Tintra = 40ms; when the SSB measurement and configuration period is 80ms, the user equipment determines the target co-frequency scheduling period Tintra = 80ms.

[0112] Please continue reading Figure 5 After the user equipment performs its first search for and / or measurement of co-frequency cells, it determines its target co-frequency scheduling period according to the implementation method of the above embodiments. Then, the user equipment determines its second search for and / or measurement of co-frequency cells based on the scheduling position "1" of the first search for and / or measurement of co-frequency cells and the target co-frequency scheduling period.

[0113] Similarly, after the second search for co-frequency cells and / or measurement of co-frequency cells, the user equipment obtains the latest target co-frequency scheduling cycle to determine the scheduling position "3" for the third search for co-frequency cells and / or measurement of co-frequency cells, and so on.

[0114] Thus, when the communication state is active, the target co-frequency scheduling period depends on the first co-frequency scheduling factor, the minimum period of the co-frequency cell, and the SSB measurement configuration period; or, the target co-frequency scheduling period depends on the minimum period of the co-frequency cell and the SSB measurement configuration period. In active state, the user equipment continuously receives downlink data. If the minimum period of the co-frequency cell is configured to be small, and the SSB measurement configuration period is also small, then the target co-frequency scheduling period is small, meaning its duration is short. This ensures the accuracy of cell search and cell measurement for the user equipment, improving user equipment mobility.

[0115] In one embodiment, based on Figure 2 The illustrated embodiment can be found in [reference]. Figure 6 This embodiment relates to the process by which a user equipment determines frequency configuration parameters when the communication state is idle. For example... Figure 6 As shown, if the communication state is idle, step 102 includes the following steps 1021 and 1022:

[0116] Step 1021: The user equipment acquires the discontinuous reception DRX period and determines the period range corresponding to the DRX period according to the same frequency scheduling strategy.

[0117] The DRX period can be carried in the period parameters configured by the base station. For example, the DRX period can be a short DRX period: 2ms, 3ms, 4ms, 5ms, 6ms, etc.; the DRX period can also be a long DRX period: 128ms, 160ms, 256ms, 320ms, etc.

[0118] In this embodiment of the application, for the idle state of user equipment, the same frequency scheduling strategy may include multiple period ranges. The multiple period ranges are obtained by dividing the DRX period into ranges. For example, the period ranges are: DRX period greater than 0ms and not greater than 40ms, DRX period greater than 40ms and not greater than 160ms, DRX period greater than 160ms and not greater than 320ms, DRX period greater than 320ms, etc.

[0119] In this embodiment of the application, in order to determine the same-frequency configuration parameters of the communication state, the user equipment obtains the DRX period and determines the period range corresponding to the DRX period according to the same-frequency scheduling policy. That is, the obtained DRX period is compared with multiple period ranges included in the same-frequency scheduling policy. If the obtained DRX period falls within a certain period range, the period range corresponding to the DRX period is determined.

[0120] Step 1022: The user equipment determines the frequency configuration parameters according to the frequency scheduling strategy and period range.

[0121] As one implementation method, for different period ranges, the same-frequency scheduling strategy includes a period calculation formula for calculating the same-frequency scheduling period for that period range based on the same-frequency configuration parameters for that period range. Thus, the user equipment can determine the same-frequency configuration parameters required by the period calculation formula corresponding to its current period range based on this same-frequency scheduling strategy.

[0122] In this way, when the user equipment is in an idle communication state, each period range has a corresponding same-frequency scheduling period, and the adoption of a more refined scheduling strategy further improves the flexibility of user equipment in searching for and / or measuring same-frequency cells.

[0123] In one embodiment, based on Figure 6 In the embodiment shown, if the period range is the first period range, the same frequency configuration parameters include the SSB measurement configuration period and the candidate period.

[0124] The SSB measurement configuration period is determined based on network configuration information. For example, the SSB measurement configuration period can be sent from the base station to the user equipment. The candidate period is determined based on network configuration information or the communication quality data of the user equipment's serving cell. For example, the candidate period can be the minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells, which is determined based on communication quality data. As mentioned above, the minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells can be positively correlated with the communication quality represented by the communication quality data of the user equipment's serving cell. For example, the candidate period can also be the DRX period, which can be sent from the base station to the user equipment.

[0125] See Figure 7 User equipment can perform Figure 7 Step 1032 shown is implemented Figure 1 Step 103:

[0126] Step 1032: The user equipment determines the target co-frequency scheduling period based on the co-frequency scheduling strategy, SSB measurement configuration period, and candidate period.

[0127] After the user equipment determines the SSB measurement configuration period and the candidate period, for example, the user equipment can substitute the SSB measurement configuration period and the candidate period into the period calculation formula corresponding to the current period range of the user equipment in the same frequency scheduling policy to obtain the target same frequency scheduling period of the user equipment.

[0128] In one possible implementation of step 1032 (or step 103), the user equipment determines the maximum period among the SSB measurement configuration period and candidate periods as the target co-frequency scheduling period according to the co-frequency scheduling strategy.

[0129] For example, if the candidate period is the minimum period Tbasic for scheduling co-frequency cells, and the SSB measurement configuration period is represented by Tsmtc, then the target co-frequency scheduling period = max(Tbasic, Tsmtc).

[0130] For example, if the candidate period is the DRX period Tdrx, then the target co-frequency scheduling period = max(Tsmtc, Tdrx). If the DRX period is 320ms and the SSB measurement and configuration period is 40ms, then the user equipment determines the target co-frequency scheduling period to be 320ms.

[0131] In another possible implementation of step 1032 (or step 103), see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 8 User equipment can perform Figure 8 Steps 701 and 702 shown implement the process of step 1032 or step 103:

[0132] Step 701: The user equipment determines the maximum period among the SSB measurement configuration period and candidate periods according to the same frequency scheduling strategy.

[0133] That is, determine the larger value between the SSB measurement configuration period and the candidate period.

[0134] Step 702: The user equipment determines the target co-frequency scheduling period by multiplying the determined maximum period and the first co-frequency scheduling factor.

[0135] In this embodiment of the application, the co-frequency configuration parameters also include a first co-frequency scheduling factor. The first co-frequency scheduling factor is determined based on the communication quality data of the serving cell of the user equipment. The method for obtaining the first co-frequency scheduling factor can be found in the description of the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0136] Assuming the first co-frequency scheduling factor is represented by K1, when the candidate period is the minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells, the target co-frequency scheduling period = K1*max(Tbasic, Tsmtc); when the candidate period is the DRX period, the target co-frequency scheduling period = K1*max(Tsmtc, Tdrx).

[0137] In this way, the first co-frequency scheduling factor can be flexibly adjusted according to the communication quality of the serving cell of the user equipment. When the communication quality is good, the value of the first co-frequency scheduling factor is larger, which can increase the duration of the target co-frequency scheduling period and save the power consumption of the user equipment. When the communication quality is poor, the value of the first co-frequency scheduling factor is smaller, which can compress the duration of the target co-frequency scheduling period, improve the performance of the user equipment in searching for and measuring co-frequency cells, and ensure the mobility of the user equipment.

[0138] In the embodiments of the present application, the first cycle range is the first sub-range or the second sub-range. The first sub-range is greater than 0 and not greater than a, and the second sub-range is greater than a and not greater than b. Both a and b are positive numbers greater than 0, and a and b can be set by themselves during implementation. For example, set a equal to the minimum cycle of scheduling co-frequency cells, such as a = 40 ms, and set b greater than the minimum cycle of scheduling co-frequency cells, such as b = 160 ms.

[0139] If the first cycle range is the first sub-range, the candidate cycle is the minimum cycle of scheduling co-frequency cells. The minimum cycle of scheduling co-frequency cells is determined according to communication quality data. The acquisition method of the minimum cycle of scheduling co-frequency cells is as described in the above embodiments and will not be elaborated here.

[0140] That is, when 0 < DRX cycle <= a, the candidate cycle is the minimum cycle of scheduling co-frequency cells, and the target co-frequency scheduling cycle = max(Tbasic, Tsmtc), or the target co-frequency scheduling cycle = K1 * max(Tbasic, Tsmtc).

[0141] If the first cycle range is the second sub-range, the candidate cycle is the DRX cycle, and the DRX cycle is determined according to network configuration information.

[0142] That is, when a < DRX cycle <= b, the candidate cycle is the DRX cycle, and the target co-frequency scheduling cycle = max(Tsmtc, Tdrx), or the target co-frequency scheduling cycle = K1 * max(Tsmtc, Tdrx).

[0143] In one embodiment, based on Figure 6 the embodiment shown, if the cycle range is the second cycle range, the co-frequency configuration parameters include the DRX cycle.

[0144] Referring to Figure 9 , the user equipment can execute Figure 9 the steps of 1033 shown to implement Figure 1 the process of step 103 in

[0145] Step 1033, the user equipment determines the target co-frequency scheduling cycle according to the co-frequency scheduling strategy and the DRX cycle.

[0146] After the user equipment determines the DRX cycle, for example, the user equipment can substitute the DRX cycle into the cycle calculation formula corresponding to the current cycle range of the user equipment in the co-frequency scheduling strategy, and then obtain the target co-frequency scheduling cycle of the user equipment.

[0147] In a possible implementation of step 1033 (which can also be step 103), the user equipment determines the DRX cycle as the target co-frequency scheduling cycle according to the co-frequency scheduling policy, that is, the user equipment directly uses the DRX cycle as the target co-frequency scheduling cycle.

[0148] In another possible implementation of step 1033 (which can also be step 103), the co-frequency configuration parameter further includes a target co-frequency scheduling factor, and the user equipment determines the product of the target co-frequency scheduling factor and the DRX cycle as the target co-frequency scheduling cycle according to the co-frequency scheduling policy.

[0149] In the embodiments of the present application, the second cycle range is the third sub-range or the fourth sub-range. The third sub-range is greater than b and not greater than c, and the fourth sub-range is greater than c. Both b and c are positive numbers greater than 0. b and c can be set by themselves during implementation. For example, b = 160 ms and c = 320 ms are set.

[0150] If the second cycle range is the third sub-range, the target co-frequency scheduling factor is the first co-frequency scheduling factor.

[0151] Among them, the first co-frequency scheduling factor is determined according to the communication quality data of the serving cell of the user equipment. The acquisition process of the first co-frequency scheduling factor can be referred to the above embodiments and will not be elaborated here.

[0152] Assume that the first co-frequency scheduling factor is represented by K1. When b < DRX cycle <= c, the target co-frequency scheduling cycle = K1 * Tdrx.

[0153] If the second cycle range is the fourth sub-range, the target co-frequency scheduling factor is the second co-frequency scheduling factor.

[0154] Among them, the second co-frequency scheduling factor is determined according to the communication quality data of the serving cell of the user equipment. The communication quality data can be the RSRP and SINR of the serving cell measured by the user equipment recently. In this way, after the user equipment obtains the RSRP and SINR, it can compare the RSRP with a preset first received power threshold and compare the SINR with a preset first signal-to-noise ratio threshold; if the RSRP is greater than the first received power threshold and the SINR is greater than the first signal-to-noise ratio threshold, it indicates that the communication quality of the serving cell of the user equipment is good, and the user equipment determines the second co-frequency scheduling factor as 2; in other cases, the user equipment determines the second co-frequency scheduling factor as 1.

[0155] Assume that the second co-frequency scheduling factor is represented by K2. When c < DRX cycle, the target co-frequency scheduling cycle = K2 * Tdrx.

[0156] The following will illustrate the method for the user equipment to determine the target co-frequency scheduling cycle in the idle state with reference to the drawings.

[0157] See Figure 10 , Figure 10 which is a schematic diagram of an exemplary target same-frequency scheduling period and SSB measurement configuration period.

[0158] As Figure 10 shown, taking the DRX period of 320 ms as an example, assuming that the third sub-range is 160 ms < DRX period <= 320 ms, in this way, the user equipment determines that the period range corresponding to the DRX period is the third sub-range, and under the third sub-range, the target same-frequency scheduling period = K1 * Tdrx. When K1 is equal to 1, the user equipment determines that the target same-frequency scheduling period Tintra = 320 ms.

[0159] Please continue to see Figure 10 , after the user equipment searches for and / or measures the same-frequency cell for the first time, the user equipment determines that the target same-frequency scheduling period of the user equipment is 320 ms according to the implementation manner of the above embodiment. Then, the user equipment determines the scheduling position "2" of the user equipment for the second search for and / or measurement of the same-frequency cell according to the scheduling position "1" of the first search for and / or measurement of the same-frequency cell and the target same-frequency scheduling period of 320 ms.

[0160] Similarly, after the user equipment searches for and / or measures the same-frequency cell for the second time, it obtains the latest target same-frequency scheduling period to determine the scheduling position "3" of the third search for and / or measurement of the same-frequency cell, and so on.

[0161] In this way, when the DRX period is relatively large, the target same-frequency scheduling period mainly depends on the DRX period, for example, it is equal to the DRX period, avoiding power consumption waste caused by setting the target same-frequency scheduling period too small, resulting in the user equipment frequently searching for and / or measuring the same-frequency cell in the idle state.

[0162] In addition, the first same-frequency scheduling factor or the second same-frequency scheduling factor is flexibly adjusted according to the communication quality of the serving cell of the user equipment. When the communication quality is good, the values of the first same-frequency scheduling factor and the second same-frequency scheduling factor are relatively large, which can increase the duration of the target same-frequency scheduling period and save the power consumption of the user equipment; when the communication quality is poor, the values of the first same-frequency scheduling factor and the second same-frequency scheduling factor are relatively small, which can compress the duration of the target same-frequency scheduling period, improve the performance of the user equipment in searching for and measuring the same-frequency cell, and ensure the mobility of the user equipment.

[0163] In one embodiment, based on Figure 2 the embodiment shown, see Figure 11 , this embodiment relates to the process of how the user equipment determines the next target scheduling position according to the target same-frequency scheduling period. As Figure 11 As shown, the cell scheduling method in this embodiment further includes step 104 after step 103:

[0164] Step 104: The user equipment obtains the historical scheduling position with the smallest time interval between the current time and the current time, and determines the next target scheduling position based on the historical scheduling position and the target frequency scheduling cycle.

[0165] The historical scheduling position with the smallest time interval from the current time is the time-domain position of the user equipment during its most recent search for and / or measurement of co-frequency cells. In this embodiment, after each search for and / or measurement of co-frequency cells, the user equipment can execute the steps of the above embodiments to obtain the target co-frequency scheduling period and determine the next target scheduling position. The target scheduling position is the time-domain position of the next search for and / or measurement of co-frequency cells.

[0166] For example, the user equipment (UE) extends the historical scheduling position by the duration of the target co-frequency scheduling period to obtain the target scheduling position. In this way, if the target co-frequency scheduling period changes with the communication status, the target scheduling position is also updated accordingly, enabling flexible scheduling of the next target scheduling position based on the UE's communication status, thus improving the flexibility of searching for and / or measuring co-frequency cells.

[0167] In one embodiment, based on Figure 11 The illustrated embodiment relates to the process by which a user equipment updates its target scheduling location during a communication state transition. Step 104 is followed by steps a and b:

[0168] Step a: Before arriving at the target scheduling location, if the user equipment detects a change in the user equipment's communication state, it obtains the communication state after the change and determines the updated co-frequency configuration parameters of the user equipment in the communication state after the change based on the co-frequency scheduling strategy.

[0169] As described above, after each search for and / or measurement of co-frequency cells, the user equipment can perform the steps of the above embodiments to obtain the target co-frequency scheduling period and determine the target scheduling location for the next time. It can be understood that the target scheduling location is a time-domain location that has not yet been reached after the current time.

[0170] The user equipment determines the target frequency scheduling period based on the user equipment's current communication status. That is, the target scheduling position is also mainly determined by the user equipment's current communication status. However, the user equipment's communication status may change when it is in RRC connection state.

[0171] For example, when the base station configures a DRX period for the user equipment, if the user equipment is currently receiving downlink data, the current communication state of the user equipment is the working state; if the user equipment is not currently receiving downlink data, the current communication state of the user equipment is the idle state. In other words, when the base station configures a DRX period for the user equipment, the communication state of the user equipment changes depending on whether the user equipment is receiving downlink data.

[0172] For example, see Figure 12 , Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an exemplary change in the communication state of a user equipment. Figure 12 As shown, before switch point-1, the user equipment's communication state is "DRX is used", i.e., idle state; at switch point-1, the user equipment starts receiving downlink data, and the user equipment's communication state switches to "NoDRX is used", i.e., working state; at switch point-2, the user equipment finishes receiving downlink data, and the user equipment's communication state switches back to "DRX is used".

[0173] As can be seen from the above, under different communication states, user equipment needs to use different target co-frequency scheduling cycles. That is, when the communication state of user equipment changes, the target co-frequency scheduling cycle also needs to change accordingly. Therefore, before the next target scheduling position arrives, if user equipment detects a change in the communication state of user equipment, it will obtain the communication state after the change and determine the updated co-frequency configuration parameters of the communication state after the change according to the co-frequency scheduling strategy.

[0174] The implementation method for the user equipment to obtain the communication status after the handover and determine the updated co-frequency configuration parameters of the communication status after the handover according to the co-frequency scheduling strategy is described in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0175] Step b: The user equipment determines the update frequency scheduling cycle of the user equipment based on the update frequency configuration parameters, and updates the target scheduling position according to the historical scheduling position and the update frequency scheduling cycle.

[0176] User equipment determines the next target scheduling location based on the historical scheduling location and the newly determined update frequency scheduling cycle.

[0177] The implementation method of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the illustrations.

[0178] See Figure 13 , Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the relationship between the communication state switching of a user equipment and the target scheduling location, as exemplified. Figure 13As shown, when the base station configures the DRX cycle for the user equipment, if the user equipment starts receiving downlink data at handover point 1 while in "DRX is used" (idle state), the communication state of the user equipment switches to "NoDRX is used" (working state). If the user equipment finishes receiving downlink data at handover point 2, the communication state of the user equipment switches to "DRX is used" state.

[0179] After the user equipment completes the first measurement ( Figure 13 Position "1" indicates that the user equipment is in the "DRX is used" state. The user equipment determines the target co-frequency scheduling period according to the co-frequency scheduling method in the idle state within the co-frequency scheduling strategy, thereby determining the target scheduling position for the second measurement. Figure 13 (position "2" in the middle).

[0180] After the second measurement is completed, the user equipment remains in the "DRX is used" state. Similar to determining the target scheduling location for the second measurement, the user equipment determines the target scheduling location for the third measurement. Figure 13 (position "3" in the middle).

[0181] After the third measurement is completed, the user equipment remains in the "DRX is used" state. Similarly, the user equipment determines the target scheduling location for the fourth measurement. Figure 13 The target scheduling period between the third and fourth measured target scheduling positions (position "4") is equal to the DRX period, which is 640ms.

[0182] Before the target scheduling location is reached in the fourth measurement, the communication state of the user equipment switches at switching point 1: from "DRX is used" to "No DRX is used". The user equipment then redetermines the target co-frequency scheduling period and redetermines the target scheduling location for the fourth measurement according to the co-frequency scheduling method in the working state of the co-frequency scheduling strategy. Figure 13 (Position “4” in the middle), the target scheduling period between the redefined target scheduling position of the fourth measurement and the target scheduling position of the third measurement is 80ms, and the original target scheduling position of the fourth measurement determined before the user equipment communication state switch is cancelled.

[0183] After the user equipment completes the fourth measurement according to the redefined target scheduling location for the fourth measurement, the user equipment is in the "No DRX is used" state. The user equipment then determines the target scheduling location for the fifth measurement. Figure 13 (position "5" in the middle).

[0184] After the fifth measurement, the user equipment remains in the "No DRX is used" state. Similarly, the user equipment determines the target scheduling location for the sixth measurement. Figure 13 The target scheduling period between the target scheduling position in the sixth measurement and the target scheduling position in the fifth measurement is 80ms (position "6").

[0185] Before the target scheduling location for the sixth measurement is reached, the communication state of the user equipment switches at handover point 2: from "No DRX is used" to "DRX is used". The user equipment determines the target co-frequency scheduling period according to the co-frequency scheduling method in the idle state in the co-frequency scheduling strategy, and re-determines the target scheduling location for the sixth measurement. Figure 13 The target frequency scheduling period between the target scheduling position of the sixth measurement and the target scheduling position of the fifth measurement is 640ms, and the original target scheduling position of the sixth measurement determined before the user equipment communication state switch is cancelled.

[0186] The user equipment performs the sixth measurement according to the newly determined target scheduling location for the sixth measurement, and so on.

[0187] When the communication state of the user equipment switches between "NO DRX is used" and "DRX is used", the above embodiments can flexibly update the next target scheduling location as the communication state switches. This results in a larger target co-frequency scheduling period in the idle state, saving power consumption of the user equipment, and a smaller target co-frequency scheduling period in the working state, improving the accuracy of the user equipment in searching for and / or measuring co-frequency cells and improving the mobility of the user equipment.

[0188] In one embodiment, based on Figure 11 The illustrated embodiment can be found in [reference]. Figure 14 This embodiment relates to the process by which user equipment dynamically adjusts its next target scheduling location. For example... Figure 14 As shown, the user equipment can perform Figure 14 Steps 1301, 1302, and 1303 shown illustrate the process of determining the next target scheduling position based on the historical scheduling position and the target frequency scheduling cycle.

[0189] Step 1301: The user equipment determines the target scheduling time period based on the historical scheduling location and the target frequency scheduling cycle.

[0190] The historical scheduling location can be the historical scheduling location with the smallest time interval from the current time, that is, the time domain location where the user equipment most recently searched for and / or measured co-frequency cells. The user equipment determines the target scheduling time period based on the historical scheduling location and the target co-frequency scheduling period. For example, if the historical scheduling location is time domain location A and the target co-frequency scheduling period is Tintra, the target scheduling time period is the time period between time domain location A and time domain location A+Tintra.

[0191] Step 1302: The user equipment obtains the time difference between each DRX activation location and each SSB measurement configuration location within the target scheduling time period.

[0192] When the base station configures a DRX cycle for the user equipment, the next target scheduling position determined by the user equipment according to the above embodiment may not coincide with the DRX activation position. The DRX activation position refers to the position at the beginning of the DRX cycle, and the RF switch of the user equipment is in the on state at the DRX activation position.

[0193] See Figure 15 , Figure 15 This is an exemplary diagram of the DRX activation position and the SSB measurement configuration position (i.e., the SMTC position).

[0194] Assuming the target frequency scheduling period determined by the user equipment according to the above embodiment is 40ms, that is, the fixed measurement interval is 40ms, according to Figure 15 As can be seen, the first target scheduling position corresponding to the "fixed measurement interval" is relatively close to the first DRX activation position. However, the second target scheduling position (the original target scheduling position shown in the figure) is far from the second DRX activation position, and the third target scheduling position is also far from the third DRX activation position. When the target scheduling position is far from the DRX activation position, the RF switch of the user equipment may already be in the off state. It is necessary to turn the RF switch back on to search for and / or measure the same frequency cell, which will cause the user equipment to waste power.

[0195] In this embodiment, to ensure optimal power consumption for the user equipment, the user equipment needs to select an SMTC location that coincides with or is as close as possible to the DRX activation location as the target scheduling location. Therefore, the user equipment obtains the time difference between each DRX activation location and each SSB measurement configuration location within the target scheduling time period. It can be understood that the smaller the time difference between the DRX activation location and the SSB measurement configuration location, the closer the DRX activation location and the SSB measurement configuration location are.

[0196] Step 1303: The user equipment determines the SSB measurement configuration location corresponding to the smallest time difference as the target scheduling location for the next time.

[0197] Please continue reading Figure 15 Taking the second target scheduling location as an example, the dynamically adjusted target scheduling location shown in the figure is the SMTC location with the smallest time difference from the DRX activation location within the target scheduling time period. The user equipment uses this SMTC location as the second target scheduling location.

[0198] As can be seen, the second target scheduling position (the dynamically adjusted target scheduling position shown in the figure) is closer to the DRX activation position within the target scheduling time period than the original target scheduling position that is not dynamically adjusted, thus saving power consumption of user equipment.

[0199] After each search and / or measurement of co-frequency cells by the user equipment, the user equipment adopts the same dynamic adjustment method to dynamically adjust the target scheduling position for the next time.

[0200] Please continue reading Figure 15 , Figure 15 In the case of fixed measurement intervals and dynamic measurement intervals, compared with the fixed measurement interval which is not dynamically adjusted, the scheduling position of each target under the dynamic measurement interval is closer to the corresponding DRX activation position, thereby saving power consumption of user equipment.

[0201] In one possible implementation of step 1301, see [link to step 1301]. Figure 16 User equipment can perform Figure 16 Steps 1501, 1502, and 1503 shown herein implement the process of step 1301:

[0202] Step 1501: The user equipment detects whether the duration of the previous actual in-frequency scheduling period is less than the duration of the target in-frequency scheduling period.

[0203] If the duration of the previous actual frequency-based scheduling period is less than the duration of the target frequency-based scheduling period, it indicates that the user equipment dynamically adjusted the target scheduling position for the next time within the previous frequency-based scheduling period; if the duration of the previous actual frequency-based scheduling period is equal to the duration of the target frequency-based scheduling period, it indicates that the user equipment did not dynamically adjust the target scheduling position for the next time within the previous frequency-based scheduling period.

[0204] Step 1502: If the duration of the previous actual co-frequency scheduling period is less than the duration of the target co-frequency scheduling period, the user equipment obtains the duration difference between the duration of the target co-frequency scheduling period and the duration of the previous actual co-frequency scheduling period.

[0205] Step 1503: The user equipment determines the target scheduling time period based on the historical scheduling location, duration difference, and the duration of the target same-frequency scheduling cycle.

[0206] Please continue reading Figure 15 Assuming the target frequency scheduling period duration Tintra = 40ms, after the first measurement, the user equipment dynamically adjusts the target scheduling position for the second measurement, moving the original target scheduling position forward to the "dynamically adjusted target position" shown in the figure, so that the dynamically adjusted target position is closer to the DRX activation position, saving power consumption.

[0207] Since the target scheduling location of the second measurement after dynamic adjustment differs from that of the first measurement by only 30ms, and the duration of the target co-frequency scheduling period is 40ms, after the second measurement, when determining the target scheduling location for the third measurement, the user equipment dynamically adjusts the target scheduling time period to 40ms + (40ms - 30ms) = 50ms. That is, within the 50ms target scheduling time period, the user equipment selects the SSB measurement configuration location (i.e., SMTC location) closest to the DRX activation location to perform co-frequency cell measurement and / or search.

[0208] In the above embodiments, when the base station configures the DRX cycle for the user equipment, the user equipment adopts a dynamic adjustment of the target scheduling position so that the target scheduling position measured each time is close to the DRX activation position, thereby ensuring the optimal power consumption of the user equipment under the DRX configuration.

[0209] In one embodiment, a cell scheduling method is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0210] Step A1: The user equipment obtains the communication status of the user equipment.

[0211] The communication status is either working or idle.

[0212] Step A2: The user equipment determines the co-frequency configuration parameters of the user equipment in the communication state according to the co-frequency scheduling strategy.

[0213] The same-frequency scheduling strategy includes the mapping relationship between communication status, same-frequency configuration parameters, and same-frequency scheduling period.

[0214] For example, see Table 5, which illustrates an exemplary same-frequency scheduling strategy:

[0215] Table 5

[0216] DRX cycle (ms) Tsearch_intra(ms) Tmeas_intra(ms) No DRX K1*max(Tbasic,Tsmtc) K1*max(Tbasic,Tsmtc) 0<DRX<=Tbasic K1*max(Tbasic,Tsmtc) K1*max(Tbasic,Tsmtc) Tbasic<DRX<=160ms K1*max(Tsmtc,Tdrx) K1*max(Tsmtc,Tdrx) 160ms<DRX<=320ms K1*Tdrx K1*Tdrx 320ms<DRX K2*Tdrx K2*Tdrx

[0217] Wherein, Tsearch_intra is the target co-frequency scheduling period for the user equipment to search for co-frequency cells, and Tmeas_intra is the target co-frequency scheduling period for the user equipment to measure co-frequency cells. For other parameters, please refer to the above embodiment, and they will not be repeated here.

[0218] If the communication state is the working state, the co-frequency configuration parameters include the minimum period Tbasic for scheduling co-frequency cells and the SSB measurement configuration period Tsmtc. Among them, the minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells is determined according to the communication quality data of the serving cell of the user equipment, and the SSB measurement configuration period is determined according to the network configuration information.

[0219] If the communication state is the idle state, the user equipment obtains the discontinuous reception DRX period, determines the period range corresponding to the DRX period according to the co-frequency scheduling strategy, and the user equipment determines the co-frequency configuration parameters according to the co-frequency scheduling strategy and the period range, realizing the process of determining the co-frequency configuration parameters of the communication state according to the preset co-frequency scheduling strategy.

[0220] Among them, if the period range is the first period range, the co-frequency configuration parameters include the SSB measurement configuration period Tsmtc and the candidate period. The SSB measurement configuration period is determined according to the network configuration information, and the candidate period is determined according to the network configuration information or the communication quality data of the serving cell of the user equipment.

[0221] The first period range is the first sub-range or the second sub-range. The first sub-range is greater than 0 and not greater than a (0 < DRX <= Tbasic as shown in Table 5), and the second sub-range is greater than a and not greater than b (Tbasic < DRX <= 160ms as shown in Table 5). Both a and b are positive numbers greater than 0;

[0222] If the first period range is the first sub-range, the candidate period is the minimum period Tbasic for scheduling co-frequency cells, and the minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells is determined according to the communication quality data. If the first period range is the second sub-range, the candidate period is the DRX period Tdrx, and the DRX period is determined according to the network configuration information.

[0223] If the period range is the second period range, the co-frequency configuration parameter includes the DRX period Tdrx.

[0224] Among them, the second period range is the third sub-range or the fourth sub-range. The third sub-range is greater than b and not greater than c (160ms < DRX <= 320ms as shown in Table 5), and the fourth sub-range is greater than c (320ms < DRX as shown in Table 5). Both b and c are positive numbers greater than 0.

[0225] If the second period range is the third sub-range, the target co-frequency scheduling factor is the first co-frequency scheduling factor K1. If the second period range is the fourth sub-range, the target co-frequency scheduling factor is the second co-frequency scheduling factor K2. Both the first co-frequency scheduling factor and the second co-frequency scheduling factor are determined according to the communication quality data of the serving cell of the user equipment.

[0226] Step A3: The user equipment determines the target co-frequency scheduling period of the user equipment based on the co-frequency configuration parameters, and the target co-frequency scheduling period is used for the user equipment to search and / or measure cells.

[0227] In the case where the communication state is the working state, the implementation manner of Step A3 is as follows: The co-frequency configuration parameters further include the first co-frequency scheduling factor K1. The user equipment determines the maximum period between the minimum period for scheduling co-frequency cells and the SSB measurement configuration period according to the co-frequency scheduling strategy. The user equipment determines the product of the determined maximum period and the first co-frequency scheduling factor as the target co-frequency scheduling period. The first co-frequency scheduling factor is determined according to the communication quality data of the serving cell of the user equipment. That is, in the case where the communication state is the working state, the target co-frequency scheduling period Tintra = Tsearch_intra = Tmeas_intra = K1 * max(Tbasic, Tsmtc).

[0228] In the case where the communication state is the idle state and the period range corresponding to the DRX period is the first period range, the implementation manner of Step A3 is as follows: The co-frequency configuration parameters further include the first co-frequency scheduling factor. The user equipment determines the maximum period between the SSB measurement configuration period and the candidate period according to the co-frequency scheduling strategy. The user equipment determines the product of the determined maximum period and the first co-frequency scheduling factor as the target co-frequency scheduling period. The first co-frequency scheduling factor is determined according to the communication quality data of the serving cell of the user equipment.

[0229] Specifically, in the case where the communication state is the idle state, if the period range corresponding to the DRX period is the first sub-range, that is, 0 < DRX <= Tbasic, then the target co-frequency scheduling period Tintra = Tsearch_intra = Tmeas_intra = K1 * max(Tbasic, Tsmtc); if the period range corresponding to the DRX period is the second sub-range, that is, Tbasic < DRX <= 160ms, then the target co-frequency scheduling period Tintra = Tsearch_intra = Tmeas_intra = K1 * max(Tsmtc, Tdrx).

[0230] In the case where the communication state is the idle state and the period range corresponding to the DRX period is the second period range, the implementation manner of Step A3 is as follows: The co-frequency configuration parameters further include the target co-frequency scheduling factor (the first co-frequency scheduling factor or the second co-frequency scheduling factor). The user equipment determines the product of the target co-frequency scheduling factor and the DRX period as the target co-frequency scheduling period according to the co-frequency scheduling strategy.

[0231] Specifically, when the communication state is in the idle state, if the period range corresponding to the DRX period is the third sub-range, i.e., 160 ms < DRX <= 320 ms, the target intra-frequency scheduling period Tintra = Tsearch_intra = Tmeas_intra = K1 * Tdrx; if the period range corresponding to the DRX period is the fourth sub-range, i.e., 320 ms < DRX, the target intra-frequency scheduling period Tintra = Tsearch_intra = Tmeas_intra = K2 * Tdrx.

[0232] Step A4, the user equipment detects whether the duration of the previous actual intra-frequency scheduling period is less than the duration of the target intra-frequency scheduling period.

[0233] Step A5, if the duration of the previous actual intra-frequency scheduling period is less than the duration of the target intra-frequency scheduling period, the user equipment obtains the duration difference between the duration of the target intra-frequency scheduling period and the duration of the previous actual intra-frequency scheduling period.

[0234] Step A6, the user equipment obtains the historical scheduling position with the smallest time interval from the current moment. The user equipment determines the target scheduling time period based on the historical scheduling position, the duration difference, and the duration of the target intra-frequency scheduling period.

[0235] Step A7, the user equipment obtains the time differences between each DRX activation position and each SSB measurement configuration position within the target scheduling time period.

[0236] Step A8, the user equipment determines the SSB measurement configuration position corresponding to the smallest time difference as the next target scheduling position.

[0237] Step A9, before the target scheduling position arrives, if the user equipment detects a change in the communication state of the user equipment, it obtains the switched communication state and determines the updated intra-frequency configuration parameters of the user equipment in the switched communication state according to the intra-frequency scheduling policy.

[0238] Step A10, the user equipment determines the updated intra-frequency scheduling period of the user equipment based on the updated intra-frequency configuration parameters, and updates the target scheduling position according to the historical scheduling position and the updated intra-frequency scheduling period.

[0239] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowchart above are shown sequentially as indicated by the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least some steps in the flowchart above may include multiple sub-steps or multiple stages. These sub-steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times.
