Description

Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present application relate to communication technology, and in particular, to a processing method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for a slice network. Background Art

[0002] With the development of wireless communication technology, the strong demand for wireless communication in the vertical market is obvious to all. In order to meet the vertical industry's needs for latency, mobility, reliability, location accuracy, etc., the wireless access network (RAN) needs to enhance how to support vertical services in the access network.

[0003] In response to the above requirements, the existing technology provides a way to provide lower latency, more targeted, greater flexibility and higher scalability services for multiple services with different requirements based on network slicing. More specifically, RAN slicing allows application providers to participate in the design, deployment and operation of customized RAN to better support the services of application providers. Therefore, Release 17 introduces the study of access network enhancements to slicing, aiming to explore the enhancement of network slicing support for RAN, specifically involving: mechanisms for enabling user equipment (UE) to quickly access supported slices, including network-controlled slice-based cell reselection and slice-based random access channel (RACH) configuration or access restriction. In the specific application process, it is found that in slice deployment, a frequency point may support different slices. A slice is deployed at different frequencies in different areas. The current deployment ranges of different frequencies are different, and the slices supported by different frequencies are also different. When the UE is already resident or performing service transmission in a cell supported by the required slice, it is actually unnecessary to always perform measurements, which will cause unnecessary power consumption. When the UE requires a slice that is not supported and there is no cell supporting the slice in the current area, continuous measurement is not necessary.

[0004] To sum up, in the deployment and application of sliced ​​networks, a solution is needed that can ensure UE services or access required services as quickly as possible while reducing power consumption. However, there is no such solution in the existing technology. Summary of the invention

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification, claims, and above-mentioned drawings of the embodiments of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, for example. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product, or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0028] In the deployment scenario of a slice network, a frequency point may support different slices, and a slice may be deployed at different frequencies in different areas. This is explained below with a specific example.

[0029] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a slicing network deployment example is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the deployment is as follows: User Equipment (UE) A1, A2, A3, A4 are located at position A, i.e., GA; UE B1, B2, B3, B4 are located at position B, i.e., GB. UE A1 and B1 only support slice M, and UE A2 and B2 only support slice N; UE A3, A4 B3, and B4 support two slices, i.e., slice M and N, respectively, of which A3 and B3 give priority to slice M, and A4 and B4 give priority to slice N. At position GA, the cell is available at frequency F1 and cannot be used at F2; at position GB, the cell is available at both frequencies F1 and F2; slice M is configured to be used only at F1, and slice N is configured to be used only at F2. Due to the isolation scheme, slice M and slice N are strictly isolated, that is, the hardware is not shared between slices. Based on the fixation of some applications, some applications can use slices M and slice N, and some applications can only use a specific slice. As shown in the figure, in the initial state, A1, A2, A3, A4, B1 and B3 are used in F1, and B2 and B4 are used in F2.

[0030] For different UEs, considering the slices they support, their measurement requirements are actually different. For example:

[0031] UE A2: F1 does not support slice M required by A2. A2 performs limited service transmission in a cell that does not support slice N. UE A2 needs to reduce unnecessary power consumption, such as unnecessary monitoring in other cells.

[0032] UE B2: F2 does not support the slices required by B2, and the UE needs to reduce unnecessary power consumption, such as monitoring frequencies other than F1.

[0033] In response to the current problems, the inventors discovered in the process of studying slice networks that the current deployment ranges of different frequencies are different, and the slices supported by different frequencies are also different. When the UE is already resident or transmitting services in a cell supported by the required slice, it is actually unnecessary to always perform measurements, which will cause unnecessary power consumption. When the UE's required slice is not supported and there is no cell supporting the slice in the current area, continuous measurement is also unnecessary. Therefore, the present application provides a method for processing a slice network, providing a technical solution that not only ensures UE services or access to required services as soon as possible, but also reduces power consumption.

[0034] The technical solution of the present application is applied in network equipment and UE on the user side, and mainly involves the processing process of the UE during measurement. The UE can determine whether to perform measurements based on the network supported slices indicated by the network equipment and the locally determined slices, and then execute subsequent processes based on the determined results.

[0035] In the specific implementation process of the scheme, it can be understood that in the actual communication system, there can be one or more network devices and UEs, and the network device can be an access device in a cellular network, for example, an access device in an LTE network and its evolved network, such as an evolved base station (Evolutional Node B, referred to as eNB or eNodeB), or a relay station, or a base station in a future new network system, etc., and its coverage example is the area within the real coil. It can also be an access point (Access Point, referred to as AP) and other devices in a WLAN. User equipment can also be called a mobile terminal, terminal equipment, access terminal, user unit, user station, mobile station, mobile station, user terminal, terminal, wireless communication device, user agent or user device. Specifically, it can be a smart phone, a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a personal digital processing (Personal Digital Assistant, referred to as PDA) device, a handheld device with a wireless communication function or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, etc. In an embodiment of the present application, the user equipment has an interface for communicating with a network device (e.g., a cellular network).

[0036] Figure 2 A flowchart of a first embodiment of a method for processing a slice network provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the processing method of the slice network includes:

[0037] S101: Receive first slice information indicated by a network device, where the first slice information includes slices supported by the current network.

[0038] In this step, when the UE needs to establish a connection with the network or has already established a connection for service interaction, it can obtain the information of the slices supported by the current network device indicated by the network device, that is, the first slice information.

[0039] The UE can obtain the first slice information through a broadcast message of the network device, or receive the first slice information sent by the network device through a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) message.

[0040] In the specific implementation of this scheme, the first slice information may also include at least one of the following: the slice identifier supported by the current network; the priority of the slice supported by the current network; the frequency priority corresponding to the slice supported by the current network; the cell priority corresponding to the slice supported by the current network; the tracking area priority corresponding to the slice supported by the current network; the correspondence between the slice supported by the current network and the frequency; the correspondence between the slice supported by the current network and the cell; the correspondence between the slice supported by the current network and the base station location; the correspondence between the slice supported by the current network and the tracking area; the correspondence between the slice supported by the current network and the Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN).

[0041] Optionally, the first slice information includes at least one of the slice information of the UE's current serving cell and the slice information of the neighboring cell.

[0042] S102: Determine whether to perform measurement according to first slice information and second slice information, where the second slice information is information about a slice of the UE.

[0043] In this step, after obtaining the first slice information, the UE can determine whether to perform measurement according to the slices supported by the current network and the slices determined by itself. The measurement can be an RRM measurement. The measurement includes at least one of neighboring cell measurement, intra-frequency measurement, inter-frequency measurement, and inter-RAT measurement.

[0044] In a specific implementation of this solution, the UE needs to determine specific judgment conditions based on the measurement configuration information configured by the network, so as to determine whether to perform measurement based on the first slice information, the second slice information and the measurement configuration information (which can be used to determine specific conditions).

[0045] In a specific implementation of this solution, the slice included in the second slice information may be a slice selected by the UE; or a slice requested by the UE; or a pre-configured slice; or a slice allowed to be used by the UE; or a slice required by the UE; or a slice with the highest priority for the UE.

[0046] Based on the slice determined by the UE and the slice indicated by the network device, determine whether the UE needs to perform measurement and what measurement to perform. After determining that measurement is required, perform measurement and obtain the measurement results and report them to the network device.

[0047] The network device may perform handover / redirect / CA configuration / DC configuration etc. according to the obtained measurement results. Alternatively, if a conditional handover configuration is received, the UE performs measurement and determines whether to perform conditional handover according to the measurement results.

[0048] The slice network processing method provided in this embodiment is that after the UE receives the slices supported by the current network indicated by the network device, the UE can determine whether to perform measurements based on the slices supported by the current network and the slices determined by the UE itself. While ensuring the UE's services, it selectively performs measurements according to the slice situation to reduce power consumption caused by continuous measurement.

[0049] On the basis of the above embodiments, in the specific implementation of this solution, the UE determines whether to perform measurement, which is generally divided into two ideas: First, when the slice determined by the UE matches the slice supported by the current network indicated by the network device, whether to perform cell measurement, and / or how to perform measurement; Second, when the slice determined by the UE does not match the slice supported by the current network indicated by the network device, whether to perform cell measurement, and / or how to perform measurement. The above two ideas can be applied to connected UEs, idle UEs, or inactive UEs, and this solution does not limit this. The following describes this solution in detail through the specific implementation methods of different ideas.

[0050] The first idea is whether to perform cell measurement and how to perform the measurement when the slice determined by the UE matches the slice supported by the current network indicated by the network device.

[0051] In a first implementation manner, the UE determines whether to perform cell measurement based on channel quality, the second slice information (selected by the UE and with the highest priority for the UE) and the first slice information.

[0052] Specifically, if the slice in the first slice information matches the slice in the second slice information, and the channel quality of the current serving cell of the UE meets the first preset condition, it is determined not to perform radio resource management (Radio Resource Management, RRM) measurement or to perform RRM measurement relaxation.

[0053] The first preset condition includes: the channel quality of the UE in the serving cell is greater than a preset channel quality, or the channel quality change of the UE in a preset time period is less than or equal to a preset value. The first preset condition can be obtained according to the measurement configuration information acquired by the UE.

[0054] Optionally, in this scheme, the limitation on the channel quality change in the first preset condition is mainly that the channel quality change of the UE within a preset time period is within a certain range, for example, the channel quality change is less than or equal to a preset value, or the channel quality change is greater than or equal to another preset value. This scheme does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0055] Measurement relaxation means taking measurements with large measurement intervals.

[0056] In this case, if the slice in the first slice information and the slice in the second slice information do not match, the RRM measurement is performed normally.

[0057] It should be understood that in this manner, the RRM measurement includes at least one of neighbor cell measurement, intra-frequency measurement, inter-frequency measurement, and inter-RAT measurement.

[0058] For example, if the slice supported by the cell where the UE is currently residing or connected matches the slice of the UE, and the channel quality of the UE in the current cell meets certain conditions (such as at least one of the following: the channel quality of the UE in the serving cell is higher than a certain threshold (that is, the aforementioned preset channel quality), the channel quality change of the UE within a period of time is lower than a certain threshold (that is, lower than the aforementioned preset value), the channel quality of the UE in the neighboring cell is lower than a certain threshold, and the neighboring cell does not support the UE's slice), the UE does not perform neighboring cell measurement, or the UE performs neighboring cell measurement relaxation (that is, a large measurement interval). If the slice supported by the cell where the UE is currently residing or connected does not match the slice of the UE, the UE performs neighboring cell measurement or uses a first time interval to perform neighboring cell measurement, and the first time interval is smaller than the standard measurement interval, that is, a smaller time interval is used for measurement.

[0059] In the second implementation method, the UE determines how to perform cell measurement based on the UE position, the UE's second slice information (selected by the UE and with the highest priority for the UE) and the first slice information.

[0060] If the slice in the first slice information matches the slice in the second slice information, and the position of the UE meets the second preset condition, it is determined not to perform neighboring area measurement or to perform neighboring area measurement relaxation; wherein the second preset condition includes at least one of the following: the UE is not close to the edge of the current serving cell, is not close to the edge of other cells, and the neighboring cell does not support the UE's slice. The second preset condition can be obtained according to the measurement configuration information obtained in advance by the UE, and can also be obtained according to the positioning information.

[0061] In this scheme, if the slice in the first slice information and the slice in the second slice information do not match, neighboring area measurement is performed or neighboring area measurement is performed using a first time interval, where the first time interval is smaller than the standard measurement interval, that is, a smaller time interval is used for measurement.

[0062] For example: if the slice supported by the cell where the UE is currently residing or connected matches the slice of the UE, and the UE position meets certain conditions, such as the UE is not close to the edge of the cell, then the neighboring cell measurement is not performed, or the UE performs the neighboring cell measurement relaxation (i.e., a large measurement interval). Otherwise, if the slice supported by the cell where the UE is currently residing or connected does not match the slice of the UE, the UE uses the first time interval to perform the neighboring cell measurement (a small measurement interval).

[0063] In a third implementation manner, the UE determines how to perform cell measurement based on the UE location, channel quality or other measurement data, the UE's second slice information (for example, the one selected by the UE and with the highest priority for the UE) and the first slice information.

[0064] If the slice in the first slice information matches the slice in the second slice information, and the channel quality of the current serving cell of the UE meets the first preset condition, it is determined not to perform measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the slice supported by the current network or to relax the neighboring area measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the slice supported by the current network.

[0065] Among them, the first preset condition includes at least one of the following: the channel quality of the UE in the serving cell is greater than the preset channel quality, and the channel quality change of the UE within a preset time period is less than or equal to a preset value; the first preset condition can be obtained according to the measurement configuration information obtained in advance.

[0066] In this solution, if the slice in the first slice information does not match the slice in the second slice information, measurement is performed on the frequency point corresponding to the slice supported by the current network or measurement relaxation is performed.

[0067] For example, if the slice supported by the cell where the UE is currently residing or connected matches the slice of the UE, and the channel quality of the UE in the current cell meets certain conditions or the UE position meets certain conditions, the UE does not perform measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the slice, or only performs measurement relaxation (i.e., a large measurement interval). Otherwise, if the slice supported by the cell where the UE is currently residing or connected does not match the slice of the UE, the UE performs measurement on the frequency point corresponding to the slice, or uses the first measurement interval to perform neighboring area measurement (a small measurement interval).

[0068] In a fourth implementation method, the UE determines how to perform cell measurement based on measurement data such as the UE location and channel quality, the UE's second slice information (selected by the UE and with the highest priority for the UE) and the first slice information.

[0069] If at least one of the third preset conditions is met, that is, if any one of the third preset conditions is met, then measurement is not performed on other frequency points other than the frequency point corresponding to the slice in the second slice information, or measurement relaxation is performed;

[0070] Optionally, if any one of the third preset conditions is not met, that is, if any one of the third preset conditions is not met, performing measurement or performing measurement relaxation on other frequency points other than the frequency point corresponding to the slice in the second slice information;

[0071] Among them, the third preset condition includes: the slice in the first slice information and the slice in the second slice information match; the channel quality of the current service cell of the UE is greater than the preset channel quality; the channel quality change of the UE within the preset time period is less than or equal to the preset value; the position of the UE is not close to the edge of the current service cell; the service quality of the UE in the neighboring area is not greater than a certain threshold; the frequency corresponding to the service cell of the UE is different from the frequency corresponding to the neighboring area, and the neighboring area or the frequency corresponding to the neighboring area does not support the slice in the second slice information.

[0072] The third preset condition may also be obtained according to pre-obtained measurement configuration information, or acquired according to positioning information.

[0073] For example, if the slice supported by the cell where the UE is currently residing or connected matches the slice of the UE, the channel quality of the UE in the current cell meets certain conditions or the UE position meets certain conditions or the neighboring cell corresponds to other frequency points, and the frequency point does not support at least one condition of the UE's slice, the UE does not perform measurement (or relaxes measurement) on frequency points other than the frequency point corresponding to the required slice (selected by the UE, or the slice with the highest priority for the UE), otherwise it performs measurement; or the UE does not perform measurement (or relaxes measurement) on frequency points other than the frequency point corresponding to the required slice (selected by the UE, or the slice with the highest priority for the UE), otherwise it performs measurement relaxation.

[0074] The aforementioned methods are all solutions for relaxing measurements or not performing measurements for the scenarios where the slices supported by the current network match the slices determined by the UE. In the specific implementation of the above solutions, if certain conditions are met, measurements may not be performed or measurements may be relaxed. In this case, it can ensure that the UE continues to access the required slices, and avoid UE disconnection when channel conditions are not met. There is no need to perform continuous measurements, thereby reducing power consumption of unnecessary measurements.

[0075] The second idea is whether to perform cell measurement and how to perform the measurement when the slice determined by the UE does not match the slice supported by the current network indicated by the network device.

[0076] In the first implementation method, the UE determines whether to perform cell measurement based on test data such as the UE location, channel quality, the UE's second slice information (selected by the UE and with the highest priority for the UE) and the first slice information.

[0077] Optionally, if the slice in the first slice information does not match the slice in the second slice information, and at least one of the fourth preset conditions is met, the neighboring area measurement is not performed or the neighboring area measurement relaxation is performed;

[0078] Optionally, if the slice in the first slice information matches the slice in the second slice information, or does not meet any of the fourth preset conditions, neighboring area measurement is performed. In this solution, the fourth preset condition can be obtained according to the pre-obtained measurement configuration information.

[0079] Among them, the fourth preset condition includes: the channel quality of the current service cell of the UE is greater than the preset channel quality or the channel quality change of the UE within the preset time period is less than or equal to a preset value; the position of the UE is not close to the edge of the current service cell; the position of the UE is not close to the edge of the neighboring area or is not within the coverage of other cells; the channel quality of the UE in the neighboring area is less than or equal to another preset value; the neighboring area of ​​the UE or the frequency corresponding to the neighboring area does not support the slices in the second slice information (that is, the neighboring area of ​​the UE does not support the slices in the second slice information or the frequency corresponding to the neighboring area does not support the slices in the second slice information).

[0080] For example, if the slice supported by the cell in which the UE is currently residing or connected does not match the slice of the UE, when at least one of the above-mentioned fourth preset conditions is met, the UE does not perform neighbor cell measurement, or the UE performs neighbor cell measurement relaxation (i.e., a large measurement interval).

[0081] In a second implementation manner, the UE determines how to perform cell measurement based on the UE position, the UE's second slice information (selected by the UE and with the highest priority for the UE) and the first slice information.

[0082] Optionally, if the slice in the first slice information does not match the slice in the second slice information, measurement is performed; otherwise, measurement relaxation is performed.

[0083] Alternatively, in another implementation, if the slice in the first slice information does not match the slice in the second slice information, measurement relaxation is performed.

[0084] Optionally, if the slice in the first slice information does not match the slice in the second slice information and at least one condition in the fifth preset conditions is met, neighboring area measurement is performed.

[0085] Optionally, if the slice in the first slice information matches the slice in the second slice information, no measurement is performed. The fifth preset condition may be obtained according to pre-obtained measurement configuration information.

[0086] Among them, the fifth preset condition includes: the channel quality of the UE's current service cell is greater than the preset channel quality or the channel quality change of the UE within a preset time period is less than a preset value; the UE is located close to the edge of the neighboring cell or within the coverage of other cells; the frequency corresponding to the UE's service cell is different from the frequency corresponding to the neighboring cell, and the neighboring cell or the frequency corresponding to the neighboring cell supports the slice in the second slice information.

[0087] Further, in this scheme, if the slice in the first slice information and the slice in the second slice information do not match, and at least one of the sixth preset conditions is met, the neighboring cell measurement is performed. That is to say, the neighboring cell measurement can be performed when the slices do not match but any of the following conditions is met. Among them, the sixth preset condition includes: the channel quality of the UE in the neighboring cell is greater than another preset channel quality; the distance between the position of the UE and the neighboring cell base station is less than the preset distance; the frequency corresponding to the service cell of the UE is different from the frequency corresponding to the neighboring cell, and the neighboring cell or the frequency corresponding to the neighboring cell supports the slice in the second slice information; the channel quality of the current service cell of the UE is less than the preset channel quality; the channel quality change of the UE within the preset time period is greater than or equal to the preset value; the position of the UE is close to the edge of the neighboring cell or within the coverage of other cells.

[0088] For example, if the slice supported by the cell where the UE is currently residing or connected does not match the slice determined by the UE, when any one of the fifth preset conditions is met, the UE performs neighbor measurement, or the UE performs neighbor measurement relaxation (i.e., a large measurement interval). Alternatively, if the slice supported by the cell where the UE is currently residing or connected does not match the slice determined by the UE, the UE performs measurement relaxation, and when any one of the sixth preset conditions is met, the UE performs normal neighbor measurement.

[0089] In a third implementation method, the UE determines how to perform cell measurement based on measurement data such as the UE location, channel quality, the UE's second slice information (selected by the UE and with the highest priority for the UE) and the first slice.

[0090] Optionally, if the slice in the first slice information and the slice in the second slice information do not match, and at least one of the seventh preset conditions is met, measurement is not performed on the frequency corresponding to the serving cell or measurement relaxation is performed on the frequency corresponding to the serving cell. In this scheme, the seventh preset condition can be obtained according to the measurement configuration information obtained in advance.

[0091] Among them, the seventh preset condition includes: the frequency corresponding to the serving cell does not support the slices in the second slice information; the neighboring cell or the frequency corresponding to the neighboring cell supports the slices in the second slice information; the channel quality of the UE's current serving cell is greater than the preset channel quality or the channel quality change of the UE within a preset time period is less than or equal to a preset value; the position of the UE is not close to the edge of the current serving cell; the position of the UE is not close to the edge of the neighboring cell.

[0092] For example, if the slices supported by the cell in which the UE is currently residing or connected do not match the slices determined by the UE, and the channel quality of the UE in the current cell meets certain conditions or the UE position meets certain conditions, the UE does not perform measurements on the frequency point corresponding to the current cell, or only performs measurement relaxation (i.e., a large measurement interval).

[0093] In a fourth implementation method, the UE determines how to perform cell measurement based on measurement data such as the UE location and channel quality, the UE's second slice information (selected by the UE and with the highest priority for the UE) and the first slice information.

[0094] If at least one of the eighth preset conditions is met, the UE measures the frequency corresponding to the slice in the second slice information; wherein the eighth preset condition includes: the slice in the first slice information and the slice in the second slice information do not match; the channel quality of the UE in the neighboring area is greater than the preset channel quality; the distance between the position of the UE and the neighboring area base station is less than the preset distance; the frequency corresponding to the service cell of the UE is different from the frequency corresponding to the neighboring area, and the neighboring area or the frequency corresponding to the neighboring area supports the slice in the second slice information.

[0095] For example, if the slice supported by the cell where the UE is currently residing or connected does not match the UE's slice, the channel quality of the UE in the neighboring cell meets certain conditions (greater than the preset channel quality), the UE position meets certain conditions (the distance to the neighboring base station is greater than the preset distance), and the neighboring cell corresponds to other frequencies, and the frequencies support at least one of the conditions in the UE's slice, the UE performs measurement on the frequency corresponding to the required slice (selected by the UE, or the slice with the highest priority for the UE).

[0096] In any embodiment of the present scheme, it should be understood that "close" means that the distance is greater than a preset distance. For example, the UE's position is not close to the edge of the serving cell or the neighboring cell, which means that the distance from the UE's position to the edge of the serving cell or the neighboring cell (or the neighboring cell) is greater than the preset distance, that is, it is not less than the preset distance. If the distance is greater than the preset distance, it is confirmed as not close, otherwise, if the distance is less than the preset distance, it can be determined as close. Similarly, the UE's position is close to the edge of the serving cell or the neighboring cell, which means that the distance from the UE's position to the edge of the serving cell or the neighboring cell is less than the preset distance, and it is determined as not close when the distance is not less than the preset distance.

[0097] The above-mentioned several implementation methods provide a method of relaxing measurement or not performing measurement for the scenario where the slices supported by the current network do not match the slices determined by the UE itself. This not only ensures that the UE can continuously access the required slices, but also avoids the impact of UE performance caused by disconnection when the UE channel conditions are not met, while reducing unnecessary measurement power consumption.

[0098] Figure 3 A flow chart of a second embodiment of a method for processing a slice network provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, based on any of the above implementations, the processing method of the slice network also includes:

[0099] S103: When the UE determines to perform measurement, it obtains the measurement result.

[0100] S104: Report the measurement result to the network device.

[0101] In this embodiment, when the UE determines the current cell, or the neighboring cell, or the frequency point, etc. to be measured, the measurement is performed according to the measurement configuration parameters, etc., and the corresponding measurement result is obtained.

[0102] The measurement result is reported to the network device, and the network device can perform operations such as switching / redirect / CA configuration / DC configuration according to the measurement result.

[0103] Optionally, in a specific implementation, after receiving the conditional switching configuration and performing measurement to obtain the measurement result, the UE may also determine whether to perform the conditional switching according to the measurement result, and this solution does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0104] Figure 4 A flowchart of a third embodiment of a method for processing a slice network provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, based on any of the above implementations, the processing method of the slice network also includes:

[0105] S201: Receive measurement configuration information sent by a network device.

[0106] In this solution, it should be understood that the measurement configuration information indicated by the network device side can be obtained at any time before the measurement determination is performed, and the corresponding conditions can be determined according to the measurement configuration information when the measurement determination is performed.

[0107] The measurement configuration information includes at least conventional measurement configuration parameters, an indication of whether to perform measurement relaxation or not to perform measurement, and at least one of the conditions for measurement relaxation or not to perform measurement (e.g., an execution threshold, a time for satisfying the execution threshold, etc.). The measurement configuration parameters may include reporting configuration, measurement objects, measurement events, and other related parameters.

[0108] In this solution, the content in the measurement configuration information can be either slice-related content, such as for a certain slice or slice group, or non-slice-related content, such as for a UE or a cell, and this solution does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0109] The slice network processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application provides a solution for determining whether to perform measurement or relax measurement under different conditions when the slice determined by the UE matches or does not match the slice supported by the current network. When the slice does not support the current cell or under other conditions, continuous measurement is avoided, thereby ensuring the UE service connection and avoiding the problem of high power consumption caused by continuous cell or frequency measurement, thereby effectively reducing the power consumption on the UE side.
