Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to, but is not limited to, the field of communication technology, and in particular to a cell handover method, apparatus, terminal, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, Standalone (SA) networking is becoming increasingly popular in communication technologies. However, in SA networks, the coverage area of ​​a cell is much smaller than that of Long Term Evolution (LTE); therefore, even slight movement or stillness of the terminal may trigger cell reselection or cell handover.

[0003] Currently, cell handover as defined in communication protocols is typically based on measurements of Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP). However, in practice, there may be situations where a cell in an SA (Standalone) network has excellent signal quality but receives very limited downlink resources. Consequently, when users browse the internet, watch videos, or stream live broadcasts, they may experience severe buffering or disconnections, resulting in a poor internet experience.

[0093] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0094] As will be understood by those skilled in the art, the technical solutions of each embodiment can be implemented individually or together with any other technical solution in the embodiments of this disclosure, and the embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this.

[0095] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a cell handover method according to an exemplary embodiment; as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the method is executed by a terminal, and the method includes the following steps:

[0096] Step S11: Determine the network speed required by the terminal based on the scenario in which the terminal is located;

[0097] Step S12: Obtain the measurement report to be transmitted for the cell under test;

[0098] Step S13: Send the target measurement report corresponding to the network rate in the measurement report to be sent to the network device;

[0099] Step S14: Receive the response information returned by the network device based on the target measurement report, and switch from the current cell to the target cell indicated by the response information.

[0100] Here, the terminal can be various mobile or fixed devices. For example, the terminal can be, but is not limited to, a server, computer, tablet computer, mobile phone, medical device, wearable device, etc.

[0101] Here, network equipment can refer to access network equipment or core network equipment. For example, access network equipment can be, but is not limited to, base stations. For example, core network equipment can be, but is not limited to, various functional entities, such as Access and Mobility Management Functions (AMF).

[0102] The scenario in which the terminal is located in step S11 can refer to various scenarios related to network speed. For example, the scenario in which the terminal is located can be, but is not limited to, the scenario of various applications (APPs) running on the terminal, the scenario of a public account running on the terminal, or the scenario of a mini-program running on the terminal, etc.

[0103] In some embodiments, step S11 may include: determining the scenario in which the terminal is located based on the application running on the terminal; and determining the network speed required by the terminal based on the scenario in which the terminal is located.

[0104] In some embodiments, step S11 may include: determining, based on the scenario of the APP running on the terminal, the network speed required by the terminal is a first network speed or a second network speed; wherein, the first network speed is greater than the second network speed;

[0105] Step S12 includes: if the terminal determines that the required network rate is the first network rate, obtaining the measurement report to be sent corresponding to the cell to be tested.

[0106] Here, determining the network speed required by the terminal as a first network speed or a second network speed based on the scenario of the APP running on the terminal may include: if the APP running on the terminal is a first type of APP, determining the network speed required by the terminal as the first network speed; or, if the APP running on the terminal is a second type of APP, determining the network speed required by the terminal as the second network speed.

[0107] Here, the first type of app can be, but is not limited to, audio and video related apps; for example, the first type of app can be TikTok, live streaming, or video apps. The second type of app can be, but is not limited to, text-based apps; for example, it can be payment apps. Here, the power consumption of the terminal running the first type of app is greater than the power consumption of running the second type of app; or, the data traffic required for the first type of app to run is greater than the data traffic required for the second type of app to run, and so on.

[0108] Thus, embodiments of this disclosure can determine the network speed required to match the scenarios of the applications, public accounts, or mini-programs running on the terminal.

[0109] Furthermore, in this embodiment, if the terminal determines that it is in a scenario using a first-type app such as Douyin, live streaming, or video streaming, it can determine that the network speed required by the terminal is relatively high, such as the required network speed being the first network speed. This allows for appropriate cell switching for terminals currently using first-type apps like Douyin, live streaming, or video streaming, minimizing buffering and disconnection issues when watching videos or live streams, thereby improving the user experience.

[0110] In one embodiment, before step S11, the method further includes: classifying the APP into a first type of APP or a second type of APP.

[0111] For example, the terminal defines the apps and / or mainstream apps running on the terminal; apps with a required network speed greater than or equal to a first network speed are identified as first-category apps, and / or apps with a network speed less than the first network speed are identified as second-category apps. For instance, if the first network speed is 300kb / s, the terminal can identify apps with a required network speed greater than or equal to 300kb / s as first-category apps and apps with a required network speed less than 300kb / s as second-category apps.

[0112] Thus, this embodiment of the disclosure classifies apps based on the network speed required by the app to determine which type the app belongs to; thereby, when a terminal is currently using a certain type of app, the network speed required by the app can be determined based on the type of the app.

[0113] Of course, in other embodiments, the terminal may classify the APP into two or more types. For example, the terminal may classify the APP into categories 1 to N, wherein the required network speed of category i-1 is greater than that of category i; wherein N is an integer greater than 1; and i is an integer greater than 0 and less than or equal to N.

[0114] In some other embodiments, step S11 includes: determining the network speed required by the terminal as the first to Nth network speeds based on the scenario of the APP running on the terminal; wherein the (i-1)th network speed is greater than the ith network speed; wherein N is an integer greater than 1; and i is an integer greater than 0 and less than or equal to N.

[0115] For example, determining the network speed required by the terminal as the first to Nth network speed based on the scenario of the APP running on the terminal includes: if the APP to be used by the terminal is of the (i-1)th type of APP, determining the network speed required by the terminal as the (i-1)th network speed; if the APP to be used by the terminal is of the ith type of APP, determining the network speed required by the terminal as the ith network speed; wherein, N is an integer greater than 1; and i is an integer greater than 0 and less than or equal to N.

[0116] Thus, the embodiments of this disclosure can accurately determine the network speed of different types of apps in different scenarios.

[0117] In some embodiments, prior to step S12, one of the following is included, but is not limited to:

[0118] Based on the measurement request issued by the network, it is determined to perform a measurement on the cell to be measured; wherein, the measurement request is used to instruct the cell to be measured to be measured.

[0119] or,

[0120] The cell to be measured is measured at predetermined time intervals.

[0121] For example, if a terminal receives a measurement request from a base station, it performs a measurement of the cell to be measured based on the measurement request. Thus, this embodiment of the disclosure can perform the measurement of the cell to be measured based on the network configuration.

[0122] For example, the terminal periodically performs measurements on the cell to be measured. For instance, the terminal performs a measurement on the cell to be measured every predetermined time interval. Thus, embodiments of this disclosure can also involve the terminal periodically and proactively performing measurements on the cell to be measured.

[0123] In one embodiment, the cell to be measured includes: a cell on the same frequency as the cell where the terminal is located and / or a cell on a different frequency than the cell where the terminal is located. Here, measuring the cell to be measured includes: measuring the cell on the same frequency and / or measuring the cell on the different frequency.

[0124] In another embodiment, the cell to be measured includes: neighboring cells of the cell where the terminal is located.

[0125] Here, the measurement of the cell to be measured includes: measuring the neighboring cells of the cell where the terminal is located.

[0126] Here, the measurement of the cell to be measured includes: measuring the neighboring cells of the cell where the terminal is located and the cell where the terminal is located.

[0127] In one embodiment, measuring the cell to be measured includes measuring the reference signal received power (RSRP) of the cell to be measured.

[0128] The measurement report to be transmitted in step S12 includes: a measurement report obtained by measuring at least one of the cells to be measured. In one embodiment, the measurement report to be transmitted may include at least one of the following: a first target measurement report, including: identification information of the cell to be measured, and RSRP corresponding to the identification information of the cell to be measured; a second target measurement report, including: identification information of the cell to be measured, and the difference between RSRP corresponding to the identification information of the cell to be measured and a predetermined received power.

[0129] The target measurement report in step S13 includes at least one of the following:

[0130] The first target measurement report includes: the identification information of the cell to be measured, and the RSRP corresponding to the identification information of the cell to be measured;

[0131] The second target measurement report includes: the identification information of the cell to be measured, and the difference between the RSRP and the predetermined received power corresponding to the identification information of the cell to be measured.

[0132] Here, the identification information of the cell to be measured is used to uniquely identify the cell to be measured.

[0133] In step S13, the network rate is the network rate required for the scenario where the terminal is located. The target measurement report corresponding to the network rate in step S13 can refer to a network rate corresponding to the RSRP in the target measurement report that is the network rate required for the scenario where the terminal is located. Here, a correspondence between RSRP and network rate can be established. Thus, the network rate of the cell to be measured where the terminal is located can be estimated based on the RSRP of the cell to be measured and the correspondence between RSRP and network rate. Therefore, in this embodiment of the disclosure, only a target measurement report including the RSRP corresponding to the network rate can be reported to the network device, so that the network device can configure the target cell that the terminal needs to switch to; thus, a target cell can be selected from the cells to be measured that match the network speed required by the terminal.

[0134] Here, the response information indicates the target cell that the terminal needs to switch to.

[0135] In one embodiment, the network rate of the target cell where the terminal is located may also be greater than or equal to the network rate required by the terminal.

[0136] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal can determine the required network speed based on the scenario in which it is located, and switch to a target cell that matches the required network speed for communication. For example, when the terminal is in a scenario with a relatively high required network speed, it can switch to a target cell that matches the relatively high network speed for communication; this can minimize the occurrence of poor communication quality due to insufficient bandwidth resources, and reduce lag or disconnection; thereby improving communication quality and thus enhancing the user's internet experience.

[0137] Of course, in other embodiments, step S13 can also be replaced by reporting the measurement report to be sent. Thus, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, a measurement report of at least one cell to be measured can be reported to the network device, so that the network device can select the target cell to be handed over from the cells to be measured.

[0138] In some embodiments, step S11 may include: determining the scenario in which the terminal is located based on the application running on the terminal; and determining the network speed required by the terminal based on the scenario in which the terminal is located.

[0139] Step S12 may include: if it is determined that the network rate required by the terminal is greater than a second predetermined threshold, obtaining the measurement report to be transmitted with the cell to be measured.

[0140] Here, the second predetermined threshold is less than or equal to the first network rate.

[0141] Here, the second predetermined threshold is less than or equal to the first network rate, and the second predetermined threshold is greater than the second network rate.

[0142] Thus, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the measurement report to be transmitted for the cell to be measured can be obtained only when the network speed required by the terminal is greater than a second predetermined threshold, and then the target measurement report can be reported and the terminal can be switched to the corresponding target cell. Therefore, this embodiment of the present disclosure only performs cell handover when the network speed required by the terminal is relatively high, and does not require cell handover when the network speed required by the terminal is relatively low, thereby reducing the occurrence of communication quality instability caused by continuous cell switching.

[0143] In some embodiments, step S13 may include: sending the target measurement report corresponding to the network rate in the measurement report to be sent to the network device based on whether the identification information of the cell to be measured is in a predetermined list.

[0144] Here, the identification information of the community is used to uniquely identify the community.

[0145] Here, the predetermined list includes: identification information of at least one cell. The cells included in the predetermined list are identification information of cells with relatively low network speeds; for example, the cell identification information included in the predetermined list is identification information of cells with network speeds lower than a first network speed.

[0146] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, step S12 includes:

[0147] Step S121: If it is determined that the identification information of the cell to be measured is not in the predetermined list, then the measurement report to be sent is obtained based on the RSRP of the cell to be measured;

[0148] or,

[0149] Step S122: If it is determined that the identification information of the cell to be measured is in the predetermined list, then the measurement report to be transmitted is obtained based on the difference between the RSRP of the cell to be measured and the predetermined received power.

[0150] In some embodiments, step S13 includes:

[0151] If the identification information of the cell to be measured is not in the predetermined list, the first target measurement report is sent to the network device;

[0152] And / or,

[0153] If the identifier information of the cell to be measured is not in the predetermined list, the second target measurement report is sent to the network device.

[0154] Here, the predetermined received power is greater than or equal to the first power. For example, the first power can be 5 dBm, 6 dBm, or 7 dBm, etc.

[0155] Here, the predetermined power threshold can be the power of a cell corresponding to the network rate required by the terminal. In one embodiment, the predetermined power threshold is the power of a cell with a first network rate.

[0156] Here, obtaining the measurement report to be sent based on the RSRP of the cell to be measured includes: saving the RSRP of the measuring cell as the measurement result of the cell to be measured in the measurement report to be sent.

[0157] One method for obtaining a measurement report to be sent based on the RSRP of the cell to be measured is as follows: the identification information of the cell to be measured and the RSRP of the cell to be measured are recorded in the measurement report to be sent. For example, if the identification information of the cell to be measured is UE1 and the RSRP of the cell to be measured is -110dBm, then the measurement report to be sent may include: UE1 and -110dBm.

[0158] Here, obtaining the measurement report to be transmitted based on the difference between the RSRP of the cell to be measured and the predetermined receive power includes: storing the difference between the RSRP of the cell to be measured and the predetermined receive power as the measurement result of the cell to be measured in the measurement report to be transmitted.

[0159] A method for obtaining a measurement report to be transmitted based on the difference between the RSRP and a predetermined receive power of the cell to be measured includes: recording the identification information of the cell to be measured and the difference between the RSRP and the predetermined receive power of the cell to be measured in the measurement report to be transmitted. For example, if the identification information of the cell to be measured is UE1, the RSRP of the cell to be measured is -120dBm, and the predetermined receive power is 6dBm; then the measurement report to be transmitted may include: UE1, and -120dBm - (-6dBm).

[0160] Thus, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the measurement report to be sent and the type of the target measurement report to be reported can be determined based on whether the identification information of the cell to be measured is in a predetermined list. This allows the terminal to report an appropriate target measurement report, enabling the network device to determine the suitable target cell for which the terminal needs to handover.

[0161] In some embodiments, sending the second target measurement report to the network device includes:

[0162] Determine whether the difference between the RSRP of the cell to be measured and the predetermined received power is greater than or equal to a predetermined power threshold;

[0163] If so, the second target measurement report is reported to the network device.

[0164] For example, the pre-defined list can be a low-speed cell list (bad_speed_cell_list). The terminal queries the low-speed cell list and determines that the identifier information of the cell to be measured is not in the low-speed cell list. Based on the RSRP measured in that cell, the terminal reports a first target measurement report including the RSRP to the base station.

[0165] For example, the predetermined list can be a low-speed cell list. The terminal queries the low-speed cell list to determine that the identification information of the cell to be measured is in the low-speed cell list. The terminal determines a second power based on the difference between the RSRP measured in the cell and the predetermined received power. If the terminal determines that the second power is greater than or equal to the predetermined power threshold, it reports a second target measurement report including the second power to the base station.

[0166] Thus, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, if the terminal determines that the cell to be measured is not in a predetermined list, for example, not in a low-speed cell list, then it determines that the cell to be measured is a relatively high-speed cell; then it can directly report the first target measurement report, including RSPR, to the network device for the terminal to switch cells.

[0167] Alternatively, if the cell to be measured is determined to be in a predetermined list, it is identified as a relatively low-speed cell. To reduce the risk of the terminal switching back to a relatively low-speed cell, a second target measurement report can be sent to the network device only for cells whose RSRP differs from a predetermined received power threshold by a predetermined power threshold. This reduces the risk of the terminal switching to a relatively low-speed cell, allowing the terminal to switch to a suitable cell for communication.

[0168] In other embodiments, the method may further include: if the difference between the RSRP of the cell to be measured and the predetermined received power is less than the predetermined power threshold, then the second target measurement report is not reported.

[0169] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal can determine not to report measurement reports for cells that do not meet the measurement requirements, for example, it can determine not to report measurement reports for cells where the difference between RSRP and a predetermined received power is less than a predetermined power threshold. This can further reduce the frequency of cell handovers to relatively low-speed cells, thereby optimizing the cells selected for handover in the terminal's scenario and enabling the terminal to switch to a suitable cell for communication.

[0170] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0171] Step S15; wherein, step S15 includes:

[0172] Step S151: If, within a predetermined time, the absolute value of the difference between the network rate of the terminal in the target cell and the predetermined network rate is less than or equal to a first predetermined threshold, then the target cell is determined to be a first-class cell.

[0173] or,

[0174] Step S152: If, within the predetermined time period, the absolute value of the difference between the network rate of the terminal in the target cell and the predetermined network rate is less than or equal to the first predetermined threshold, and the proportion of padding data in the downlink transmission is less than or equal to a predetermined number of bits, then the target cell is determined to be the first type of cell.

[0175] Step S16: If the identification information of the first type of cell is in the predetermined list, then remove the identification information of the first type of cell from the predetermined list.

[0176] Here, the scheduled time is greater than or equal to the first duration. For example, the first duration can be 9s, 10s, or 11s, etc.

[0177] Here, the predetermined network speed is greater than or equal to the first speed. For example, the first speed is 290kb / s, 300kb / s, or 330kb / s, etc.

[0178] In one embodiment, the predetermined network rate is the first network rate described in the above embodiment.

[0179] Here, the first predetermined threshold is less than or equal to the second rate. Here, the second rate is less than or equal to the first rate. For example, the predetermined network rate can be 300kb / s, and the first predetermined network rate can be less than or equal to 30kb / s.

[0180] Here, the network speed of the terminal in the target cell includes: the uplink speed and / or downlink speed of the terminal in the target cell.

[0181] In some embodiments, the absolute value of the difference between the network rate of the terminal in the target cell and the predetermined network rate is less than or equal to a first predetermined threshold, including at least one of the following:

[0182] The absolute value of the difference between the uplink rate of the terminal in the target cell and the predetermined network rate is less than or equal to the first predetermined threshold.

[0183] The absolute value of the difference between the downlink rate of the terminal in the target cell and the predetermined network rate is less than or equal to the first predetermined threshold.

[0184] For example, after the terminal switches to the target cell, within a predetermined time, the absolute value of the difference between the downlink rate in the target cell and the predetermined network rate is less than or equal to a first predetermined threshold. For instance, if the terminal's downlink rate in the target cell is 290 kb / s within 10 seconds, and the absolute value of the difference between this 290 kb / s and the predetermined network rate of 300 kb / s is less than the first predetermined threshold of 20 kb / s, then the target cell is determined to be a Class I cell.

[0185] For example, after the terminal switches to the target cell, within a predetermined time, the absolute value of the difference between the uplink rate in the target cell and the predetermined network rate is less than or equal to a first predetermined threshold. For instance, if the terminal's uplink rate in the target cell is 288kb / s within 10 seconds, and the absolute value of the difference between this 288kb / s and the network rate of 300kb / s is less than the first predetermined threshold of 20kb / s, then the target cell is determined to be a first-class cell.

[0186] For example, after the terminal switches to the target cell, within a predetermined time period, the absolute value of the difference between the downlink rate in the target cell and the predetermined network rate is less than or equal to a first predetermined threshold, and the proportion of padding data in the downlink transmission is less than or equal to a predetermined number of bits. For instance, if the terminal's downlink rate in the target cell is 290 kb / s within 10 seconds, and the absolute value of the difference between this 290 kb / s and the predetermined network rate of 300 kb / s is less than the first predetermined threshold of 20 kb / s; and it is determined that the proportion of padding data in the downlink transmission within 10 seconds is less than or equal to 30 kb; then the target cell is determined to be a first-class cell.

[0187] Here, the padding data is data unrelated to the business logic. In one embodiment, the padding data can be a string with 0 bits. For example, the padding data could be "00000000……000".

[0188] For example, within a predetermined time period, the proportion of padding data in the downlink transmission is less than or equal to a predetermined number of bits. For instance, if within 10 seconds, the proportion of padding data in the downlink transmission is less than or equal to 300kb, then it is determined that the proportion of padding data in the downlink transmission is less than or equal to the predetermined number of bits. Similarly, if within 5 seconds, the proportion of padding data in the downlink transmission is less than or equal to 150kb, then it is determined that the proportion of padding data in the downlink transmission is less than or equal to the predetermined number of bits. Here, the predetermined number of bits is positively correlated with the predetermined time.

[0189] In other embodiments, the fact that the number of bits occupied by padding data in the downlink transmission is less than or equal to a predetermined number of bits in step S152 above can be replaced by one of the following: the ratio of the number of bits of padding data transmitted in the downlink transmission to the total number of bits of the downlink transmission is less than or equal to a predetermined ratio in the downlink transmission; or the rate at which padding data is transmitted per unit time in the downlink transmission is less than or equal to a predetermined bit rate in the downlink transmission.

[0190] For example, within a predetermined time period, the ratio of the bits transmitting padding data to the total bits of the downlink transmission is less than or equal to a predetermined ratio. For instance, within 10 seconds, if the total bits of the downlink transmission are 3000kb and the bits transmitting padding data are 150kb, then the ratio of the bits transmitting padding data to the total bits of the downlink transmission is 5%; therefore, it is determined that the ratio of the bits transmitting padding data to the total bits of the downlink transmission is less than or equal to the predetermined ratio.

[0191] For example, within a predetermined time period, the rate at which padding data is transmitted per unit time in downlink transmission is less than or equal to a predetermined bit rate. For instance, if the padding data occupies 100kb bits in downlink transmission within 10s, then the rate at which padding data is transmitted per unit time is determined to be 10kb / s; thus, the rate at which padding data is transmitted per unit time in downlink transmission is determined to be less than or equal to the predetermined bit rate.

[0192] Thus, in this embodiment of the disclosure, it is possible to determine in various ways whether the proportion of padding data in the downlink transmission of the target cell is relatively high; thereby facilitating the accurate determination of what type of target cell the target cell is, such as whether it is a relatively high-speed cell or a relatively low-speed cell.

[0193] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0194] Step S15; wherein, step S15 includes:

[0195] Step S153: If, within the predetermined time period, the absolute value of the difference between the network rate of the terminal in the target cell and the predetermined network rate is greater than a first predetermined threshold, then the target cell is determined to be a second type of cell.

[0196] or,

[0197] Step S154: If, within the predetermined time period, the absolute value of the difference between the network rate of the terminal in the target cell and the predetermined network rate is greater than the first predetermined threshold, and the proportion of the padding data in the downlink transmission is greater than the predetermined bits, then the target cell is determined to be the second type of cell.

[0198] Step S17: If the identification information of the second type of cell is not in the predetermined list, then add the identification information of the second type of cell to the predetermined list.

[0199] In one embodiment, the absolute value of the difference between the terminal's network rate in the target cell and the predetermined network rate is greater than the first predetermined threshold, including at least one of the following:

[0200] The absolute value of the difference between the uplink rate of the terminal in the target cell and the predetermined network rate is greater than the first predetermined threshold.

[0201] The absolute value of the difference between the downlink rate of the terminal in the target cell and the predetermined network rate is greater than the first predetermined threshold.

[0202] For example, after the terminal switches to the target cell, if the absolute value of the difference between the downlink rate in the target cell and the predetermined network rate is greater than a first predetermined threshold within a predetermined time period, then the target cell is determined to be a second-class cell. For instance, if the terminal's downlink rate in the target cell is 250kb / s within 10 seconds, and the absolute value of the difference between this 250kb / s and the predetermined network rate of 300kb / s is greater than the first predetermined threshold of 20kb / s, then the target cell is determined to be a second-class cell.

[0203] For example, after the terminal switches to the target cell, if the absolute value of the difference between the uplink rate in the target cell and the predetermined network rate is greater than a first predetermined threshold within a predetermined time period, then the target cell is determined to be a second-class cell. For instance, if the terminal's uplink rate in the target cell is 248kb / s within 10 seconds, and the absolute value of the difference between this 248kb / s and the network rate of 300kb / s is greater than the first predetermined threshold of 20kb / s, then the target cell is determined to be a second-class cell.

[0204] For example, after the terminal switches to the target cell, if, within a predetermined time, the absolute value of the difference between the downlink rate in the target cell and the predetermined network rate is greater than a first predetermined threshold, and the proportion of padding data in the downlink transmission is significantly greater than a predetermined number of bits, then the target cell is determined to be a second-class cell. For instance, if the terminal's downlink rate in the target cell is 250 kb / s within 10 seconds, and the absolute value of the difference between this 250 kb / s and the predetermined network rate of 300 kb / s is greater than the first predetermined threshold of 20 kb / s; and it is determined that the proportion of padding data in the downlink transmission within 10 seconds is significantly greater than 30 kb, then the target cell is determined to be a second-class cell.

[0205] For example, within a predetermined time period, the proportion of padding data in the downlink transmission is significantly greater than a predetermined number of bits. For instance, if within 10 seconds, the proportion of padding data in the downlink transmission is significantly greater than 300kb, then it is determined that the proportion of padding data in the downlink transmission is significantly greater than the predetermined number of bits. Similarly, if within 5 seconds, the proportion of padding data in the downlink transmission is significantly greater than 150kb, then it is determined that the proportion of padding data in the downlink transmission is significantly greater than the predetermined number of bits.

[0206] Thus, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal can accurately determine whether the target cell is a first-class cell or a second-class cell based on whether the absolute value of the difference between the network rate (including downlink rate and / or uplink rate) in the target cell within a predetermined time and the predetermined network rate is less than or equal to a first predetermined threshold, and / or whether the proportion of padding data in the downlink transmission is less than or equal to a predetermined number of bits; that is, it can accurately determine whether the target cell is a relatively high-speed cell or a relatively low-speed cell.

[0207] Furthermore, when the target cell is a Class I cell, i.e. a relatively high-speed cell, if the identification information of the target cell is in the pre-defined list, then the target cell needs to be removed from the pre-defined list.

[0208] Furthermore, when the target cell is a Class II cell, i.e. a relatively low-speed cell, if the identification information of the target cell is not in the predetermined list, then the identification information of the target cell needs to be added to the predetermined list.

[0209] Thus, this embodiment of the present disclosure can accurately determine whether the target cell belongs to a predetermined list after determining what type of cell the target cell is; and update the predetermined list in real time, thereby providing the latest data basis for the terminal to perform cell handover.

[0210] To further explain any embodiment of this disclosure, a specific example is provided below:

[0211] like Figure 5 As shown, this disclosure provides a cell handover method, executed by a terminal, including the following steps:

[0212] Step S201: Obtain the correspondence between APP and APP level;

[0213] In one optional embodiment, the terminal classifies mainstream apps into a first type of app or a second type of app, wherein the network speed required by the first type of app is higher than that required by the second type of app; the terminal stores: the correspondence between the identification information of the first type of app and the level information of the first type of app, and / or the identification information of the second type of app and the level information of the second type of app.

[0214] Here, the first type of app can be TikTok, live streaming, or video apps; the second type of app can be news or payment apps. The first type of app requires a network speed greater than or equal to the first network speed, for example, an app with a speed greater than or equal to 300kb / s.

[0215] Here, the first type of APP can be: High_Speed_Mode APP; the second type of APP can be: Normal_Speed_Mode APP.

[0216] Step S202: Determine whether the APP currently running on the terminal is a first-type APP; if yes, proceed to step S203a; if no, proceed to step S203b.

[0217] In an optional embodiment, the terminal determines whether the currently running APP is a first-class APP based on the correspondence between APP and APP level; if yes, step S203a is executed; if no, step S203b is executed.

[0218] Step S203a: Determine the cell to be measured;

[0219] In one optional embodiment, the terminal performs measurement of the cell to be measured based on a measurement request issued by the base station, or the terminal performs measurement of the cell to be measured periodically.

[0220] Step S203b: Determine that the terminal continues to camp on the current cell;

[0221] In one alternative embodiment, the terminal determines not to perform cell measurement and continues to camp on the current cell where the terminal is located.

[0222] Step S204: Determine whether the identification information of the cell to be measured is in the predetermined list; if not, proceed to step S205; if yes, proceed to step S206.

[0223] In an optional embodiment, the terminal determines whether the identification information of the cell to be measured is in a predetermined list; if not, proceed to step S205; if yes, proceed to step S206.

[0224] Step S205: According to the agreement, determine the RSRP to be reported based on the cell to be measured;

[0225] In one optional embodiment, the terminal determines a first target measurement report based on the RSRP of the cell to be measured according to the protocol agreement; and sends the first target measurement report to the base station; wherein, the first target measurement report includes: the identification information of the cell to be measured, and the RSRP corresponding to the identification information of the cell to be measured.

[0226] Step S206: Determine the RSRP and predetermined receive power of the cell to be measured and report accordingly;

[0227] In an optional embodiment, the terminal determines a second target measurement report based on the difference between the RSRP and the predetermined received power; and sends the second target measurement report to the base station; the second target measurement report includes: the identification information of the cell to be measured, and the power of the difference between the RSRP and the predetermined received power corresponding to the identification information of the cell to be measured.

[0228] Step S207: Based on the response information sent by the network, switch to the target cell indicated by the response information;

[0229] In one optional embodiment, the terminal receives response information sent by the network, wherein the response information is determined based on a first target measurement report and / or a second target measurement report; the terminal determines to switch to the target cell indicated by the response information based on the response information.

[0230] Step S208: Within a predetermined time, whether the absolute value of the difference between the downlink rate and the predetermined network rate in the target cell is greater than a first predetermined threshold, and whether the proportion of padding data in the downlink transmission is greater than a predetermined number of bits; if yes, proceed to step S209; if no, proceed to step S211.

[0231] In an optional embodiment, the terminal determines whether the absolute value of the difference between the downlink rate in the target cell and the predetermined network rate of 300kb / s within 10s is less than a first predetermined threshold; and determines whether the proportion of padding data in the downlink transmission in the target cell within 10s is greater than 300kb; if yes, proceed to step S209; if no, proceed to step S211.

[0232] Here, the terminal obtains the downlink rate by detecting the downlink rate of the Media Access Control (MAC) layer.

[0233] Step S209: Determine whether the identification information of the target cell is in the predetermined list; if not, proceed to step S210;

[0234] Step S210: Add the target cell's identification information to the pre-defined list;

[0235] Step S211: Determine whether the identification information of the target cell is in the predetermined list; if yes, proceed to step S212;

[0236] Step S212: Remove the target cell's identifier information from the pre-defined list;

[0237] Step S213: Report the target measurement report.

[0238] In an optional embodiment, after step S205, a first target measurement report is reported; after step S206, a second target measurement report is reported.

[0239] In an optional embodiment, the target measurement report reported in step S213 is used by the network device to determine the response information in step S207 based on the target measurement report.
