[0048] It should be understood that the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably in this article. The term "and / or" in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.
[0049] It should be understood that the "indication" mentioned in the embodiments of the present application can be a direct indication, an indirect indication, or an indication of an association relationship. For example, A indicates B, which can mean that A directly indicates B, for example, B can be obtained through A; it can also mean that A indirectly indicates B, for example, A indicates C, and B can be obtained through C; it can also mean that there is an association relationship between A and B.
[0050] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the term "corresponding" may indicate a direct or indirect correspondence between two items, or an association relationship between the two items, or a relationship between indication and being indicated, configuration and being configured, and the like.
[0051] In the embodiments of the present application, "pre-definition" can be implemented by pre-saving corresponding codes, tables or other methods that can be used to indicate relevant information in a device (for example, including a terminal device and a network device), and the present application does not limit the specific implementation method. For example, pre-definition can refer to what is defined in the protocol.
[0052] In the embodiments of the present application, the “protocol” may refer to a standard protocol in the communication field, for example, it may include an LTE protocol, an NR protocol, and related protocols used in future communication systems, and the present application does not limit this.
[0053] In order to understand the performance of mobile networks, mobile network builders or network operators usually need to drive a car along a fixed route to collect a series of measurements that reflect the current network performance, such as downlink signal quality / interference. Based on the collected measurements of network performance, the network optimization team can then adjust the deployment of mobile network equipment, signal strength, and antenna angle settings to improve the performance of the mobile network and user satisfaction. However, the disadvantage of this method is that as the scale of the mobile network expands, road testing will become more time-consuming and labor-intensive, which is not conducive to mobile operators to adjust network deployment in a timely manner, and the cost is relatively high.
[0054] Based on this, the mobile network introduces a signal collection method called minimization of Drive test (MDT). Its core idea is to enable many user terminals to report their signal collection volume with the permission of the terminals. Under the premise of a sufficient number of terminals, the network can quickly and economically obtain information related to network performance in the area. This method of collecting network performance of terminals in certain target areas is called management-based MDT. In addition, MDT can also be used to help the network collect network performance-related data of specific terminals (such as the terminal users who often complain about poor network performance). This MDT collection method is called signaling-based MDT.
[0055] The target terminal for performing MDT can be in Radio Resource Control (RRC) connected mode, RRC idle mode or inactive mode. However, the configuration signaling of MDT must be sent by the network to the terminal when the terminal is in connected mode. When the network configures immediate MDT, the terminal will report the measurement quantities collected by the terminal in the connected state in the connected state. Alternatively, when the network configures logged MDT, the terminal will report the measurement quantities recorded when falling back to the idle state to the network when restoring the connected state.
[0056] In some embodiments, the MDT configuration can be sent to the terminal through the core network control plane network element or network management (OAM). After completing the measurement quantity collection, the terminal generates an MDT report and reports it to the base station, which then sends it to an independent MDT data analysis network element, such as a trace collection entity (TCE).
[0057] Figure 2 A schematic interaction diagram showing the process of a terminal device performing MDT measurement and reporting is shown.
[0058] In S201, the terminal device receives the recorded MDT configuration sent by the network device.
[0059] S202, the terminal device performs measurement when falling back to RRC idle mode.
[0060] S203, after entering the RRC connected mode (connected mode), the terminal device indicates to the network device that the recorded measurement amount is available (logMeasAvailable), so that the network device knows that the terminal device has measurement amounts to upload.
[0061] S204, the network device sends a UE information request (UE information Request) to the terminal device to request to obtain the measurement value of the terminal device.
[0062] S205, the terminal device sends a UE information response (UE Information Response) to the network device, and the UE information response includes the measurement quantity that needs to be reported.
[0063] S206: The network device sends the received measurement value reported by the terminal device to the TCE.
[0064] In the traditional dual connection establishment process, first, the network device needs to send a measurement configuration to the terminal device. The terminal device performs measurements on the frequency points corresponding to the potential primary and secondary cells (PScells) according to the measurement configuration and reports the measurement results to the network device. Finally, the network device (i.e., the primary network (MN)) selects the secondary network (SN) with a suitable PSCell according to the measurement results of the terminal device to initiate the dual connection establishment process for the terminal device. Figure 3 A schematic interaction diagram of a dual connection establishment process is shown.
[0065] S21, MN sends an SN addition request to SN, for requesting to add SN as the SN of the terminal device.
[0066] S22, the SN sends an SN addition request acknowledgement to the MN.
[0067] S22a, MN sends an Xn-U address indication to SN to establish a connection between them.
[0068] S23, MN sends an RRC reconfiguration message to the UE.
[0069] S24, the UE sends an RRC reconfiguration completion message to the MN.
[0070] S25, MN sends an SN reconfiguration completion message to the SN.
[0071] S26, the UE initiates a random access process to the SN to access the SN.
[0072] S27, MN sends an SN status transfer command to the SN.
[0073] S28, UPF sends data to SN through MN.
[0074] S29, MN sends a protocol data unit (PDU) session modification indication to AMF.
[0075] S210, AMF sends a bearer modification command to UPF.
[0076] S211, UPF sends an End Marker Packet to SN through MN.
[0077] S212, AMF sends a PDU session modification confirmation to the MN.
[0078] From the above interaction process, it can be seen that before the MN initiates the SN addition request to the appropriate target SN, it needs to go through the process of the network device sending the measurement configuration to the terminal device, the terminal device performing the measurement, and the terminal device reporting the measurement result. These processes are very time-consuming. In order to reduce the time overhead of connection establishment and quickly add auxiliary nodes to the terminal device to improve the throughput, the early measurement mechanism is introduced.
[0079] When the terminal device applies early measurement, the network device can send the measurement frequency point information that the terminal device needs to prepare for adding SN in idle mode to the terminal device through RRC release (RRCRelease) message or system information block (SIB) broadcast. The terminal device can make measurements according to idle mode measurement configuration (idleModeMeasurement configuration) in idle mode.
[0080] For a terminal device in an idle state, the network device may also configure the terminal device with a measurement configuration for cell reselection, and the terminal device may perform cell measurement based on the measurement configuration, and then perform measurement reporting. Therefore, for the network device, how to distinguish whether the measurement amount reported by the terminal device is a measurement amount obtained based on the measurement configuration for cell reselection or a measurement amount obtained based on the idle mode measurement configuration is a problem. In addition, if the measurement amount based on the idle mode measurement configuration is not included in the recorded measurement report reported by the terminal device, how the network device determines the reason why the terminal device stops recording the idle mode measurement amount is also a problem that needs to be solved urgently.
[0081] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments. The following related technologies can be arbitrarily combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, and they all belong to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application. The embodiments of the present application include at least part of the following contents.
[0082] Figure 4 is a schematic interactive diagram of a method for reporting a recorded measurement report according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method 300 may include:
[0083] S301, a terminal device receives a first message sent by a network device, where the first message is used to instruct the terminal device to report a recorded measurement report to the network device;
[0084] S302, the terminal device reports a recorded measurement report to the network device, wherein the recorded measurement report includes at least one set of measurement quantities and first information;
[0085] S303: The network device determines, based on the first information, whether the measurement amount is an idle mode measurement amount and / or the reason why the terminal device stops recording the idle mode measurement amount.
[0086] Optionally, the first message may be any downlink message, such as an RRC message. As an example, the first message may be the UE Information Request mentioned above.
[0087] In some embodiments, each set of measurements may be included in an information element (IE), such as a logged measurement information IE (logMeasInfo IE), and each set of measurements may also correspond to a time information, which may be included in the IE. Optionally, the time information may be a relative time, which may be a reference time to the time when the terminal device enters the idle mode.
[0088] Optionally, the time information may be the time when the measurement quantity is recorded, or may be the time when the measurement is performed.
[0089] In the embodiment of the present application, the idle mode measurement amount is obtained by measuring based on an idle mode measurement configuration (idleModeMeasurement configuration). When the measurement amount is not an idle mode measurement amount, the measurement amount may be, for example, obtained by measuring based on a measurement configuration for cell reselection. In this case, the measurement amount obtained may be recorded as a cell reselection measurement amount.
[0090] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first information includes a preset duration for the terminal device to perform idle mode measurement, and / or a time when the terminal device enters idle mode.
[0091] Optionally, the preset duration for the terminal device to perform idle mode measurements may be configured by the network device or may be predefined. For example, the network device may configure the duration in the idleModeMeasurement configuration and report the duration at the same time when reporting a recorded measurement report. In this way, the network device may determine the reason why the terminal device stops recording idle mode measurements based on the duration and the time information corresponding to at least one set of measurement quantities.
[0092] As an example, if the offset of the time information of recording at least one group of measurement quantities relative to the time when the terminal device enters the idle mode is less than the preset duration, that is, the time length for the terminal device to perform the measurement does not reach the preset duration, in this case, the network device can determine that the reason why the terminal device stops recording the idle mode measurement quantities is that the terminal device enters an area not covered by the frequency point in the idle mode measurement configuration or the signal quality of the cell of the frequency point in the idle mode measurement configuration is poor, for example, the signal strength of the downlink signal corresponding to the frequency point configured in the idle mode measurement configuration is lower than a specific threshold.
[0093] As another example, if the offset of the time information of recording at least one set of measurement quantities relative to the time when the terminal device enters the idle mode is greater than or equal to the preset duration, in this case, the network device can determine that the reason why the terminal device stops recording the idle mode measurement quantities is that the measurement duration reaches the preset duration.
[0094] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first information includes a first flag bit, and the first flag bit is used to determine the time information when the terminal device stops performing idle mode measurement.
[0095] In some embodiments, at least one IE corresponding to the at least one group of measurement quantities includes a first IE and a second IE, the first IE corresponds to a first time, the second IE corresponds to a second time, the first time and the second time are adjacent, and if after the first time, the terminal device stops performing idle mode measurements, the terminal device can include the first flag bit in the second IE to indicate that the terminal device did not perform idle mode measurements during part or all of the time between the first time and the second time.
[0096] Optionally, part or all of the time between the first time and the second time may refer to part or all of the measurement time points from the first time to the second time.
[0097] It should be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, the measurement time point may refer to the time point at which the terminal device performs the measurement. The time point at which the terminal device performs the measurement may be discrete or continuous, and the present application does not limit this.
[0098] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first time and the second time are recording times of the measured quantity.
[0099] For example, the terminal device records a set of measurement quantities at a first moment to generate IE1, and records another set of measurement quantities at a second moment, recorded as IE2. After the first moment, the terminal device stops performing idle mode measurements, and the first flag bit can be included in IE2.
[0100] Optionally, in some other embodiments, each IE used to record the measurement amount includes a start flag and an end flag, the start flag is used to mark whether the time corresponding to the IE is the time when the terminal device starts to perform idle mode measurement, and the end flag is used to mark whether the time corresponding to the IE is the time when the terminal device stops performing idle mode measurement, for example, a value of 1 indicates yes, and a value of 0 indicates no.
[0101] For example, the terminal device records a set of measurement quantities at the first moment to generate IE1, records another set of measurement quantities at the second moment, recorded as IE2, records another set of measurement quantities at the third moment, recorded as IE3, and records another set of measurement quantities at the fourth moment, recorded as IE4, wherein, after the first moment, the terminal device starts to perform idle mode measurement, stops performing idle mode measurement at the second moment, and after the third moment, the terminal device starts to perform idle mode measurement again, and stops performing idle mode measurement at the fourth moment. Then the start flag bit and the end flag bit in IE1 are 1 and 0 respectively, the start flag bit and the end flag bit in IE2 are 0 and 1 respectively, the start flag bit and the end flag bit in IE3 are 1 and 0 respectively, and the start flag bit and the end flag bit in IE4 are 0 and 1 respectively.
[0102] Optionally, in some embodiments, the at least one group of measurement amounts includes measurement amounts corresponding to at least one frequency point, and the first information includes indication information of whether the measurement amount corresponding to each frequency point is an idle mode measurement amount.
[0103] As an implementation manner, the first information includes a first bit map, the first bit map includes multiple bits, each bit corresponds to a frequency point, and the value of each bit is used to indicate whether the measurement amount of the corresponding frequency point is an idle mode measurement amount.
[0104] For example, assuming that the terminal device reports 8 groups of measurement quantities corresponding to 8 frequency points, the first bitmap may be 8 bits, each bit corresponds to a frequency point, and different values of each bit are used to indicate whether the measurement quantity of the corresponding frequency point is an idle mode measurement quantity. For example, a bit value of 1 indicates yes, and a value of 0 indicates no. If the first bitmap is 11000001, it can be determined that the measurement quantities corresponding to the first frequency point, the seventh frequency point, and the eighth frequency point are obtained according to the idle mode measurement configuration.
[0105] In some embodiments, measResultNeighCellListNR / EUTRA may include all measurement quantities, including the measurement quantities corresponding to each frequency point. The measResultNeighCellListNR / EUTRA is included in measResultNeighCells-r16. Then, a bitmap (bitmaplogmodeMeas) may be added to measResultNeighCells-r16 to indicate whether the measurement quantities corresponding to different frequency points in measResultNeighCellListNR / EUTRA are obtained according to the idle mode measurement configuration.
[0106] As an example, the syntax format of measResultNeighCells-r16 is as follows:

[0129] Optionally, in some embodiments, when the recorded measurement report includes an idle mode measurement amount, the recorded measurement report further includes first indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate that the recorded measurement report includes the idle mode measurement amount. In this way, the network device can use the aforementioned method to determine the type of measurement amount or the deadline for performing idle mode measurement, etc., when the recorded measurement report includes the first indication information.
[0130] Combination Figure 5 The specific implementation process of reporting the recorded measurement report according to the embodiment of the present application is described.
[0131] First, the terminal device in the connection mode receives the recorded measurement configuration of the network device, and based on the recorded measurement configuration, the terminal device determines that the measurement amount recorded when falling back to the idle mode is reported to the network device when entering the connection mode. The recorded measurement configuration may include the logged duration (loggingDuration).
[0132] Then, the terminal device receives an RRC release message from the network device, where the RRC release message includes an idle mode measurement configuration 1, and the idle mode measurement configuration 1 may include a duration 1 (denoted as measIdleDuration1), that is, the duration for the terminal device to perform idle mode measurement.
[0133] The terminal device falls back to idle mode, starts timer T331 with a timer duration of measIdleDuration1, and starts timer T330 with a timer duration of loggingDuration, and performs cell measurement based on the idle mode measurement configuration 1.
[0134] Furthermore, the terminal device enters the connection mode, and receives an RRC release message from the network device, where the RRC release message includes an idle mode measurement configuration 2, and the idle mode measurement configuration 2 may include a duration 2 (denoted as measIdleDuration2).
[0135] The terminal device falls back to idle mode and starts timer T331 with a timer duration of measIdleDuration2. Cell measurement is performed based on the idle mode measurement configuration 2.
[0136] If the terminal device does not report a logged-in measurement report after entering the connected mode for the second time, the terminal device needs to record the measurement quantities of the two idle modes. The logged-in measurement report includes the measurement quantities of the two idle modes and may also include the durations corresponding to the two idle modes, namely measIdleDuration1 and measIdleDuration2.
[0137] Optionally, the logged-in measurement report may also include time information when the terminal device enters the idle mode.
[0138] Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device includes the preset duration of the idle mode measurement performed by the terminal device in the reported recorded measurement report, so that the network device can determine the reason why the terminal device stops recording the idle mode measurement amount according to the preset duration. Alternatively, by including the first flag bit in the recorded measurement report, the network device can determine the time when the terminal device stops performing the idle mode measurement, thereby being able to determine the reason why the terminal device stops recording the idle mode measurement amount.
[0139] In addition, the terminal device includes indication information for marking the type of the measurement quantity in the reported recorded measurement report, so that the terminal device can distinguish whether the measurement quantity is an idle mode measurement quantity or a cell reselection measurement quantity according to the indication information.
