[0059] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0060] The network architecture and business scenarios described in this disclosure are intended to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided in this disclosure. As those skilled in the art will know, with the evolution of network architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided in this disclosure are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 1 This diagram illustrates a system architecture provided in one embodiment of this application. The system architecture 100 may include: a terminal 10, an access network device 20, and a core network device 30.

[0062] Terminal 10 can refer to UE (User Equipment), access terminal, user unit, user station, mobile station, mobile station, remote station, remote terminal, mobile device, wireless terminal, user agent, or user equipment. Optionally, terminal 10 can also be a cellular phone, cordless phone, SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) phone, WLL (Wireless Local Loop) station, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), handheld device with wireless communication capabilities, computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, vehicle-mounted device, wearable device, terminal in 5GS (5th Generation System), or terminal in the future evolved PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network), etc., and this application embodiment is not limited in this regard. For ease of description, the devices mentioned above are collectively referred to as terminals. The number of terminals 10 is usually multiple, and one or more terminals 10 can be distributed within the cell managed by each access network device 20.

[0063] Access network device 20 is a device deployed in an access network to provide wireless communication functionality to terminal 10. Access network device 20 may include various forms of macro base stations, micro base stations, relay stations, access points, etc. In systems employing different wireless access technologies, the name of the device with access network device functionality may differ; for example, in a 5G NR system, it is called gNodeB or gNB. As communication technologies evolve, the name "access network device" may change. For ease of description, in this embodiment, the aforementioned devices providing wireless communication functionality to terminal 10 are collectively referred to as access network devices. Optionally, a communication relationship can be established between terminal 10 and core network device 30 through access network device 20. For example, in an LTE system, access network device 20 may be one or more eNodeBs in an E-UTRAN (Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access Network) or E-UTRAN; in a 5G NR system, access network device 20 may be one or more gNBs in a RAN (Radio Access Network).

[0064] In 3G communication systems, access network equipment can be called NodeB (NB). In 4G communication systems, access network equipment can be called eNodeB (eNB). In the Option 4 series Non-Standalone (NSA) architecture, 4G access network equipment needs to be upgraded to support eLTE and interface with the 5G core network; this upgraded 4G access network equipment is called ng-eNB. In 5G communication systems, access network equipment is called gNB (generation NodeB). In the NAS Option 3 series, because 5G access network equipment needs to access the 4G core network, the 5G gNB needs to be modified to access the 4G core network; this modified gNB is called en-gNB.

[0065] The core network equipment 30 primarily functions to provide user connectivity, manage users, and bear services, serving as an interface to external networks. For example, core network equipment in a 5G NR (New Radio) system may include AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function) entities, UPF (User Plane Function) entities, and SMF (Session Management Function) entities.

[0066] In one example, access network device 20 and core network device 30 communicate with each other via some over-the-air technology, such as the NG interface in a 5G NR system. Access network device 20 and terminal 10 communicate with each other via some over-the-air technology, such as the Uu interface.

[0067] The technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this disclosure can be applied to various communication systems, such as: Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) system, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, LTE Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) system, LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD) system, Advanced Long Term Evolution (LTE-A) system, Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) system, 5th Generation (5G) mobile communication system, New Radio (NR) system, evolution systems of NR systems, and LTE-based access to unlicensed spectrum. This disclosure applies to unlicensed spectrum (LTE-U) systems, NR (NR-based access to unlicensed spectrum) systems, terrestrial networks (TN) systems, non-terrestrial networks (NTN) systems, wireless local area networks (WLANs), wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), cellular IoT systems, and cellular passive IoT systems. It can also be applied to subsequent evolutions of 5G NR systems, as well as beyond-fifth generation (B5G) mobile communication systems, 6G, and subsequent evolutions. In some embodiments of this disclosure, "NR" may also be referred to as a 5G NR system or a 5G system.Among them, 5G mobile communication systems can include non-standalone (NSA) and / or standalone (SA) networks.

[0068] In addition, the terms "network" and "system" are often used interchangeably in this disclosure, but their meanings will be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0069] First, some background technical knowledge involved in this application will be introduced and explained. The following related technologies are optional solutions and can be arbitrarily combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, all of which fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application. The embodiments of this application include at least some of the following contents.

[0070] I. Dual connection

[0071] 1. MR-DC (Multi-Radio Dual Connectivity)

[0072] MR-DC is a generalized Intra-E-UTRA (Intra Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access / Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access) dual connectivity where the UE can utilize radio resources provided by two different schedulers located on two different NG-RAN (Next Generation Radio Access Network) nodes via a non-ideal backhaul connection. One scheduler provides NR access, and the other provides either E-UTRA (Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access) or NR access. One scheduler acts as the MN (Master Node), and the other as the SN (Secondary Node). The MN and SN are connected via a network interface, with at least one MN connected to the core network.

[0073] 2. MR-DC with EPC (Evolved Packet Core, 4G core network)

[0074] E-UTRAN (Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network) supports MR-DC via E-UTRA-NR DC (E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity, also known as EN-DC), where the UE connects to an eNB acting as the MN and an en-gNB acting as the SN. The eNB connects to the EPC via the S1 interface and to the en-gNB via the X2 interface. The en-gNB connects to the EPC via the S1-U interface and to other en-gNBs via the X2-U interface.

[0075] For example, the EN-DC architecture is as follows Figure 2 As shown, en-gNB1 is connected to MME / S-GW1 (Mobility Management Entity / Serving Gateway) and MME / S-GW2 via the S1-U interface; en-gNB2 is connected to MME / S-GW1 and MME / S-GW2 via the S1-U interface; en-gNB1 is connected to en-gNB2 via the X2-U interface; eNB1 is connected to MME / S-GW1 and MME / S-GW2 via the S1 interface; eNB2 is connected to MME / S-GW1 and MME / S-GW2 via the S1 interface; and eNB1 is connected to eNB2 via the X2 interface. MME / S-GW1 and MME / S-GW2 belong to the EPC, while en-gNB1, en-gNB2, eNB1, and eNB2 belong to E-UTRAN.

[0076] 3. MR-DC with 5GC (5th Generation Core, 5G Core Network)

[0077] A: E-UTRA-NR DC (E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity, also known as NGEN-DC).

[0078] NG-RAN supports NG-RAN E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity (also known as NGEN-DC). In this configuration, the UE connects to an ng-eNB that acts as the MN and a gNB that acts as the SN. The ng-eNB connects to the 5GC, and the gNB connects to the ng-eNB via the Xn interface.

[0079] B: NR-E-UTRA DC (NR-E-UTRA Dual Connectivity, also known as NE-DC).

[0080] NG-RAN supports NR-E-UTRA DC, where the UE connects to a gNB that acts as the MN and an ng-eNB that acts as the SN. The gNB connects to the 5GC, and the ng-eNB connects to the gNB via the Xn interface.

[0081] C: NR-NR Dual Connectivity (NR-NR Dual Connectivity, NR-NR dual connectivity, also known as NR DC).

[0082] NG-RAN supports NR-NR DC, where a UE connects to one gNB acting as the MN and another gNB acting as the SN. The gNB acting as the MN (also called the primary gNB) connects to the 5GC via the NG interface, and the two gNBs are connected via the Xn interface. The gNB acting as the SN (also called the secondary gNB) can also connect to the 5GC via the NG-U interface. Furthermore, in NR-DC, a UE can also access a single gNB that simultaneously acts as both the MN and SN, and this gNB is configured with both the MCG (Master Cell Group) and SCG (Secondary Cell Group).

[0083] For example, the NR-DC architecture is as follows Figure 3 As shown, gNB1, acting as the MN, is connected to gNB2, acting as the SN, via the Xn interface. gNB1 is connected to AMF / UPF1 and AMF / UPF2 via the NG-U interface, and gNB2 is also connected to AMF / UPF1 and AMF / UPF2 via the NG-U interface. gNB1 is connected to gNB3 via the Xn interface. gNB2 is connected to gNB4 via the Xn interface. gNB3 is connected to gNB4 via the Xn interface. AMF / UPF1 and AMF / UPF2 belong to 5GC, while gNB1, gNB2, gNB3, and gNB4 belong to NG-RAN.

[0084] In dual connectivity mode, a UE can access two cell groups: MCG and SCG. Within an MCG, there may be multiple cells, one of which is used to initiate initial access; this cell is called the PCell (Primary Cell). As the name suggests, the PCell is the most "primary" cell in the MCG. In an MCG, the primary cell is called the PCell, and the secondary cell is called the SCell (Secondary Cell); in an SCG, the primary cell is called the PSCell (Primary Secondary Cell), and the secondary cell is called the SCell. The PCell in the MCG and the SCell in the MCG are linked together via CA (Carrier Aggregation). Because much signaling is only transmitted on the PCell and PSCell, for ease of description, the PCell and PSCell can also be collectively referred to as sPCell (Special Cell).

[0085] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, under dual connectivity, a UE can access two cell groups, namely MCG and SCG. MCG includes PCell, SCell1, and SCell2, while SCG includes PSCell, SCell3, and SCell4. In MCG, PCell and SCell1, and SCell1 and SCell2 are connected via CA; in SCG, PSCell and SCell3, and SCell3 and SCell4 are connected via CA.

[0086] II. Selective activation of cell groups

[0087] In related technologies, for CHO (Conditional Handover) and CPA / CPC (Conditional PSCell Addition / Conditional PSCell Change, CPA and CPC can also be collectively referred to as CPAC), UEs with CHO / CPA / CPC configurations release their configurations upon completing random access to the target PCell / PSCell. If the network device does not reconfigure and initialize CHO / CPA / CPC for the UE, the UE will no longer have the opportunity to continue executing CHO / CPA / CPC. Therefore, the network device needs to reconfigure and initialize CHO / CPA / CPC for the UE, which increases the latency of conditional handover or SCG change and increases signal transmission overhead. This problem is particularly prominent in FR2 (Frequency Range 2) scenarios where the CG (Common Gateway) is frequently changed.

[0088] Therefore, the related technology proposes selective activation of cell groups in MR-DC, which allows the configuration of subsequent selective activation of cell groups to continue to be executed after the CG is changed, without the network device needing to reconfigure or initialize the corresponding selective activation of cell groups for the UE. This can reduce signaling overhead and the interruption time of CG changes.

[0089] Selective activation configuration for cell groups may include at least one of the following: configuration ID, activation conditions, and configuration of the cell or cell group to be activated.

[0090] In selective activation of cell groups, network devices can provide terminals with "cell groups to be activated". Terminals can then activate or deactivate these "cell groups" without the network device needing to re-provide the configuration for the cell group.

[0091] In other words, in selective activation of cell groups, after activating a new cell group configuration, the UE will not delete the selective activation configuration of that cell group.

[0092] Currently, selective activation of SCG is being researched in related technologies to enable the terminal to continue the subsequent CPC process after an SCG change or addition, even without an RRC (Radio Resource Control) reconfiguration message.

[0093] In related technologies, selective activation of cell groups in MR-DC can still be executed after the cell group (CG) changes, without the need for network reconfiguration or reinitialization of the corresponding cell group selective activation configuration information, thereby reducing signaling overhead and the interruption time of cell group changes.

[0094] For example, in selective activation of cell groups, the network device can provide the terminal with pre-configured candidate target cell groups or target cells. Subsequently, the terminal can activate or deactivate the pre-configured candidate cells and / or cell groups according to the configuration (e.g., activation message) issued by the network device or the corresponding activation event, without needing to re-provide the cell group configuration. Alternatively, in selective activation of cell groups, after activating a new cell or cell group, applying a new cell configuration or cell group configuration, or accessing a new cell or cell group, the UE will not delete the corresponding selective activation configuration information for the cell group.

[0095] For example, selective activation of cell groups, also known as cell group activation, allows the corresponding configuration information to still be executed after a cell and / or cell group change, without requiring network reconfiguration or reinitialization of the corresponding cell group activation configuration information. Therefore, selective activation of cell groups can reduce signaling overhead and the downtime caused by cell group changes. The configuration information for cell group activation may include: a configuration ID and the configuration of the target cell or the target cell group. Optionally, the configuration information for cell group activation may also include triggering conditions (or execution conditions, activation conditions).

[0096] For example, selective cell group activation is a mobility management process that includes any of the following: by configuring cell group activation settings, the UE activates or deactivates the corresponding cell or cell group according to signaling sent by the network side, or according to the criteria specified in the protocol, or by the UE itself, or by applying the corresponding cell configuration or cell group configuration, or by accessing the cell or cell group.

[0097] For example, selective activation of a cell group is a mobility management process, including any mobility management process that, after executing a mobility process, does not delete or release the corresponding partial or all configuration information. Not deleting or releasing the corresponding partial or all configuration information can also be called retaining the corresponding partial or all configuration information.

[0098] III. LTM (L1 / L2-Triggered Mobility)

[0099] In 5G systems, network equipment can provide terminals with multiple "candidate cells (or candidate cell groups)". The network equipment can subsequently control the terminal to change among these "candidate cells (or candidate cell groups)" via L1 (such as DCI (Downlink Control Information)) or L2 (such as MACCE (Control Element)) signaling (e.g., changing the working cell (or cell group) from "candidate cell (or candidate cell group)-1" to "candidate cell (or candidate cell group)-2"). One serving cell (or cell group) can correspond to one or more "candidate cells (or candidate cell groups)".

[0100] IV. Conditional Reconfiguration

[0101] ConditionalReconfiguration is used to configure, modify, or release the configuration information for conditional reconfiguration.

[0102] ConditionalReconfiguration includes condReconfigToAddModList (conditional reconfiguration add / modify list), condReconfigToRemoveList (conditional reconfiguration delete list), and attemptCondReconfig (attempt conditional reconfiguration).

[0103] The `condReconfigToRemoveList` includes `CondReconfigId` (configuration identifier or conditional reconfiguration identifier) ​​and `CondReconfigToAddMod` corresponds to the configuration information for a conditional reconfiguration.

[0104] CondReconfigToAddModList includes a list of conditional reconfigurations to be added or modified. Each entry has a condReconfigId (configuration identifier or conditional reconfiguration identifier) ​​and an associated condExecutionCond (first execution condition or second execution condition) / condExecutionCondSCG (first execution condition or second execution condition) and condRRCReconfig (conditional RRC reconfiguration).

[0105] CondReconfigToAddModList includes one or more CondReconfigToAddMod entries, where each CondReconfigToAddMod entry includes condReconfigId, condExecutionCond, and condRRCReconfig. The condRRCReconfig entry includes CondReconfigExecCondSCG (CondReconfig Execution Condition SCG).

[0106] 1. CHO

[0107] A Handover Request (CHO) is a handover performed by the UE when one or more handover execution conditions are met. After receiving a CHO configuration, the UE begins evaluating the execution conditions and stops evaluating them after performing the handover (including legacy handover and CHO). CHOs are subject to the following criteria:

[0108] (1) CHO configuration includes CHO candidate cell configuration and first execution condition.

[0109] (2) A first execution condition may contain one or two triggering conditions (condition events A3 / A5).

[0110] a: CondEvent A3: Conditional reconfiguration candidate becomes the amount of offset better than PCell / PSCell.

[0111] b: CondEvent A5: PCell / PSCell becomes worse than absolute threshold1 AND Conditional reconfiguration candidate becomes better than another absolute threshold2.

[0112] (3) If the UE receives a HO (Handover) command (without CHO configuration) before any CHO execution conditions are met, the legacy HO procedure is executed, regardless of any previously received CHO configuration.

[0113] (4) When executing CHO, that is, from the time the UE starts synchronizing with the target cell, the UE no longer monitors the original cell.

[0114] 2. CPA

[0115] A Conditional PSCell Addition (CPA) is defined as a PSCell addition executed by the UE when the execution condition(s) is met. The UE starts evaluating the execution condition(s) upon receiving the CPA configuration and stops evaluating the execution condition(s) once a PSCell addition or PCell change is triggered.

[0116] The trigger condition for CPA can be CondEvent A4.

[0117] CondEvent A4: Conditional reconfiguration candidate becomes better than absolute threshold.

[0118] 3. CPC

[0119] A Conditional PSCell Change (CPC) is defined as a PSCell change executed by the UE when the execution condition(s) is met. The UE starts evaluating the execution condition(s) upon receiving the CPC configuration and stops evaluating the execution condition(s) once a PSCell change or PCell change is triggered. Intra-SN CPC without MN involvement and inter-SN CPC initiated by either MN or SN are supported.

[0120] The trigger condition for CPC started by MN can be CondEvent A4.

[0121] CondEvent A4: Conditional reconfiguration candidate becomes better than absolute threshold.

[0122] The trigger condition for CPC initiated by SN can be CondEvent A3 / A5.

[0123] CondEvent A3: Conditional reconfiguration candidate becomes a better amount of offset than PCell / PSCell.

[0124] CondEvent A5: PCell / PSCell becomes worse than absolute threshold1 AND Conditional reconfiguration candidate becomes better than another absolute threshold2.

[0125] 4. Combined configuration of CHO and CPAC

[0126] In related technologies, condition-triggered mobility management (CTLM) has been introduced. The UE implements CTLM based on network-configured conditions and associated candidate cells. Upon meeting certain conditions, the UE triggers mobility management and accesses its associated candidate cell. The network-configured conditions can be specific events based on measurement results, or events based on location or time. The associated candidate cells can be primary and secondary cells, corresponding to the respective CTLM CHO and CPC / CPA mechanisms. Currently, related technologies support MN-initiated CHO, MN-initiated CPA / CPC, and SN-initiated CPC.

[0127] However, current technologies do not support simultaneous configuration of CHO and CPA / CPC. To improve robustness and reduce the impact on UE throughput, related technologies have proposed a scheme combining CHO and CPC / CPA, deciding to include the target MCG and candidate SCGs for CPC / CPA in the CHO. UEs jointly configured with CHO and CPA / CPC can execute both the CHO and its corresponding CPA / CPC simultaneously.

[0128] The joint configuration of CHO and CPAC can be a nested configuration where the CHO configuration includes the CPAC configuration. The configuration of the CHO and one or more associated CPACs is contained within a conditional reconfiguration (first ConditionalReconfiguration). The configuration information for one or more CPACs (second conditionalReconfiguration) is contained within the CHO's configuration information (CondReconfigToAddMod), which includes:

[0129] The first configuration identifier (first condReconfigId), the first execution condition corresponding to the CHO (condExecutionCond), the first conditional RRC reconfiguration (first condRRCReconfig), and the first conditional RRC reconfiguration includes the first RRC reconfiguration message (first RRCReconfiguration message). The first RRC reconfiguration message contains configuration information for one or more CPACs (second conditionalReconfiguration), and also includes the configuration information for the CHO. That is, the first RRC reconfiguration message contains configuration information for both candidate PCell / MCG and candidate PSCell / SCG.

[0130] The execution conditions for both CHO and CPAC can be represented by one or more measurement identifiers. Each measurement identifier can be associated with a triggering event.

[0131] Please refer to Figure 5a This document illustrates a flowchart of a cell measurement method provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment applies the method to... Figure 1 The method can be illustrated using a terminal in the communication system shown as an example. The method may include the following steps.

[0132] Step 200: Receive the first message, which is used to configure the first configuration information and the second configuration information.

[0133] For example, the first message is a ConditionalReconfiguration message. For instance, the first message could be at least one of the following: condReconfigToAddModList, condReconfigToRemoveList, or attemptCondReconfig.

[0134] When the first message is a conditional reconfiguration add / modify list message, the first message is used to add or modify the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information stored in the terminal; when the first message is a conditional reconfiguration delete list message, the first message is used to delete the first configuration information and / or the second configuration information stored in the terminal.

[0135] For example, the first message is used to configure first configuration information and / or second configuration information.

[0136] For example, the first message is used to configure the first configuration information, which contains the second configuration information (for example, the first condition RRC reconfiguration field of the first configuration information carries the second configuration information).

[0137] For example, the first message is used to configure the first configuration information. Or, the first message is used to configure the second configuration information.

[0138] For example, the first configuration information can be configured first via a second message (which can be of the same type as the first message). Then, the first message can be used to modify the first configuration information, adding the second configuration information. For instance, the terminal receives the second message, stores the first configuration information configured in the second message in VarConditionalReconfig, and then receives the first message, which modifies the first configuration information (e.g., adding the second configuration information to the first conditional RRC reconfiguration field of the first configuration information). The terminal then adds the second configuration information to the first conditional RRC reconfiguration field of the first configuration information in VarConditionalReconfig based on the second message.

[0139] For example, the first configuration information and the second configuration information are used to carry mobility configurations for candidate cells or cell groups. The first and second configuration information each include a complete set of mobility configuration information for the candidate cells or cell groups. For instance, the first configuration information includes: mobility configuration information for a first candidate cell or cell group, and second configuration information; the second configuration information includes: mobility configuration information for a second candidate cell or cell group. The mobility configuration information for the first candidate cell or cell group includes a first measurement identifier, and the mobility configuration information for the second candidate cell or cell group includes a second measurement identifier. The mobility configuration information for the first or second candidate cell or cell group may include at least one of the following: a configuration identifier, an execution condition (measurement identifier), and the configuration information for the candidate cell or cell group.

[0140] Alternatively, the first or second configuration information may be used to carry mobility configurations for candidate PCell, MCG, PSCell, or SCG. Alternatively, the first or second configuration information may be used to carry configuration information for CHO, CPC, or CPA.

[0141] In one optional embodiment, the first configuration information nests the second configuration information. The first configuration information includes not only mobility configuration information for the first candidate cell or cell group but also the second configuration information. The second configuration information can be further nested within the mobility configuration information of the first candidate cell or cell group. For example, the first configuration information includes: a first configuration identifier, a first execution condition, and a first conditional RRC reconfiguration, where the first conditional RRC reconfiguration includes the second configuration information and the configuration information of the first candidate cell or cell group.

[0142] Optionally, the first configuration information may contain at least one field that carries the second configuration information. For example, the first field in the first configuration information may contain the second configuration information. The first field may be a field dedicated to carrying the second configuration information, or it may be a field shared by the second configuration information and other information (e.g., configuration information of candidate cells or cell groups).

[0143] For example, the first configuration information includes at least one of the following fields: first configuration identifier, first execution condition, and first condition RRC reconfiguration.

[0144] The first configuration identifier field carries information about the first configuration identifier, the first execution condition field carries information about the first execution condition, and the first condition RRC reconfiguration field carries configuration information about the first candidate cell or cell group and second configuration information. The information about the first execution condition can be indicated by the first measurement identifier; that is, the first execution condition field carries the first measurement identifier, and the terminal reads the execution condition corresponding to the first measurement identifier from its local storage based on the first measurement identifier.

[0145] For example, the second configuration information includes at least one of the following fields: second configuration identifier, second execution condition, and second conditional RRC reconfiguration.

[0146] The second configuration identifier field carries information about the second configuration identifier, the second execution condition field carries information about the second execution condition, and the second condition RRC reconfiguration field carries configuration information about the second candidate cell or cell group. The information about the second execution condition can be indicated by the second measurement identifier; that is, the second execution condition field carries the second measurement identifier, and the terminal reads the execution condition corresponding to the second measurement identifier from its local storage based on the second measurement identifier.

[0147] In another optional embodiment, the first configuration information and the second configuration information are configured together. For example, if the first configuration information and the second configuration information configured simultaneously in the first message have an association relationship, the terminal will store the first configuration information and the second configuration information together in the VarConditionalReconfig. For example, the first configuration identifier in the first configuration information and the second configuration identifier in the second configuration information can be stored together.

[0148] For example, the first configuration information can be either first conditional reconfiguration configuration information or configuration information for first conditional reconfiguration, and the second configuration information can be either second conditional reconfiguration configuration information or configuration information for second conditional reconfiguration. The first configuration information is used to configure the mobility of the MCG, and the second configuration information is used to configure the mobility of the SCG.

[0149] In one possible embodiment, the terminal receives first conditional reconfiguration information sent by the network side. This first conditional reconfiguration information is used to configure the mobility of the MCG and the mobility of the SCG, wherein the SCG is associated with the MCG. For example, the first conditional reconfiguration information is used to configure the configuration information of the CHO and CPA or CPC.

[0150] For example, the first conditional reconfiguration configuration information includes one or more second conditional reconfiguration configuration information, wherein the second conditional reconfiguration configuration information is used to configure the mobility of the SCG.

[0151] In one possible implementation, the first conditional reconfiguration information includes a first configuration identifier (condReconfigId), a first execution condition (condExecutionCond) corresponding to the MCG mobility (CHO), and a first RRCReconfiguration message (first condRRCReconfig, first conditional RRC reconfiguration) that needs to be applied when the first execution condition is met.

[0152] In one possible implementation, the first RRCReconfiguration message contains one or more second conditional reconfiguration information, wherein the first RRCReconfiguration message also contains configuration information for candidate MCGs.

[0153] In one possible implementation, the second conditional reconfiguration information includes a second configuration identifier, a second execution condition (condExecutionCond or condExecutionCondSCG) corresponding to the SCG mobility (CPA or CPC), and a second RRCReconfiguration message (second condRRCReconfig) to be applied when the first execution condition is met. The second RRCReconfiguration message also contains configuration information for the candidate SCG.

[0154] In one possible implementation, the first execution condition or the second execution condition can be represented by one or more measurement identifiers.

[0155] In one possible embodiment, in response to receiving one or more first conditional reconfiguration configuration information, the UE stores this configuration information in VarConditionalReconfig, which stores the conditional reconfiguration configuration.

[0156] Step 210: Obtain the first measurement result corresponding to the first configuration information, and / or obtain the second measurement result corresponding to the second configuration information; wherein the first configuration information is used to carry the mobility configuration of the first candidate cell or cell group, and the second configuration information is used to carry the mobility configuration of the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0157] Optionally, the terminal obtains a first measurement result corresponding to the first measurement identifier based on the first measurement identifier in the first configuration information; the terminal obtains a second measurement result corresponding to the second measurement identifier based on the second measurement identifier in the second configuration information.

[0158] Alternatively, if the first configuration information includes the second configuration information (the first configuration information contains nested second configuration information, or the first configuration information contains at least one field carrying the second configuration information), the terminal obtains the first measurement result corresponding to the first measurement identifier based on the first measurement identifier in the first configuration information; the terminal obtains the second measurement result corresponding to the second measurement identifier based on the second measurement identifier in the second configuration information.

[0159] For example, when the measurement result of the first candidate cell or cell group (the first measurement result corresponding to the first measurement identifier) ​​meets the first execution condition, the terminal needs to apply the configuration information of the first candidate cell or cell group to determine access to the first candidate cell or cell group; when the measurement result of the second candidate cell or cell group (the second measurement result corresponding to the second measurement identifier) ​​meets the second execution condition, the terminal needs to apply the configuration information of the second candidate cell or cell group to determine access to the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0160] For example, the terminal stores a VarConditionalReconfig, which stores the association between a measurement identifier, a measurement object, and a reporting configuration. Based on the first measurement identifier in the first configuration information, the terminal obtains the measurement result of the measurement object corresponding to the first measurement identifier, which is the first candidate cell or cell group in the first configuration information. Based on the second measurement identifier in the second configuration information, the terminal obtains the measurement result of the measurement object corresponding to the second measurement identifier, which is the second candidate cell or cell group in the second configuration information.

[0161] Optionally, the first measurement result is the measurement result of the first measurement object (the first candidate cell or cell group in the first configuration information) corresponding to the first measurement identifier. The second measurement result is the measurement result of the second measurement object (the second candidate cell or cell group in the second configuration information) corresponding to the second measurement identifier.

[0162] Optionally, if the terminal has already performed a measurement and obtained a measurement result, the terminal directly obtains the measurement result (first measurement result or second measurement result) based on the measurement identifier (first measurement identifier or second measurement identifier). If the terminal has not performed a measurement or has not stored a measurement result, the terminal initiates the measurement and obtains the measurement result (first measurement result or second measurement result) based on the measurement identifier (first measurement identifier or second measurement identifier).

[0163] For example, obtaining measurement results may also include initiating the measurement, i.e., the terminal initiates the measurement and obtains the measurement results.

[0164] In one optional embodiment, the terminal may obtain a first measurement result based on a first measurement identifier and a second measurement result based on a second measurement identifier simultaneously. Alternatively, the terminal may obtain the second measurement result based on the second measurement identifier after obtaining the first measurement result based on the first measurement identifier and before executing the CHO; that is, the terminal first obtains two measurement results and then evaluates whether the execution conditions are met based on the two measurement results. Alternatively, the terminal may also first obtain the second measurement result based on the second measurement identifier and then obtain the first measurement result based on the first measurement identifier.

[0165] For example, the terminal first obtains two measurement results based on two measurement identifiers, and then determines whether the two measurement results meet the execution conditions. The execution conditions are used to determine whether to access the corresponding candidate cell or cell group. For instance, the first execution condition is used to determine whether to access the first candidate cell or cell group. If the first measurement result meets the first execution condition, the terminal determines to access the first candidate cell or cell group, and subsequently, the terminal can execute the access procedure to access the first candidate cell or cell group. The second execution condition is used to determine whether to access the second candidate cell or cell group. If the second measurement result meets the second execution condition, the terminal determines to access the second candidate cell or cell group, and subsequently, the terminal can execute the access procedure to access the second candidate cell or cell group. That is, the execution conditions are used to evaluate the measurement results after the measurement is performed. The terminal can access the candidate cell or cell group corresponding to the measurement result if the measurement result is favorable (meets the execution conditions).

[0166] For example, the first candidate cell or cell group in the first configuration information is associated with the second candidate cell or cell group in the second configuration information. For instance, the second candidate cell or cell group is the PSCell or SCG corresponding to the first candidate cell or cell group (PCell or MCG). When a terminal accesses the first candidate cell or cell group (PCell or MCG), it can access the corresponding second candidate cell or cell group (PSCell or SCG).

[0167] In one alternative embodiment, a terminal can only access a second candidate cell or cell group if it has already accessed the first candidate cell or cell group.

[0168] For example, when the first measurement result meets the first execution condition and the second measurement result meets the second execution condition (the order of judgment can be arbitrary; it can be judged first whether the first measurement result meets the first execution condition or whether the second measurement result meets the second execution condition), the terminal determines that it can access the first candidate cell or cell group and the second candidate cell or cell group. Then, the terminal can access the first candidate cell or cell group before it can access the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0169] Alternatively, when the first measurement result meets the first execution condition and the second measurement result does not meet the second execution condition, the terminal determines that it can access the first candidate cell or cell group but cannot access the second candidate cell or cell group. Then, the terminal can access the first candidate cell or cell group but cannot access the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0170] Alternatively, when the first measurement result does not meet the first execution condition, but the second measurement result meets the second execution condition, the terminal determines that it cannot access the first candidate cell or cell group. At this time, the terminal may determine to access the second candidate cell or cell group, or it may determine not to access the second candidate cell or cell group. Then, the terminal cannot access the first candidate cell or cell group, nor can it access the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0171] In one possible embodiment, the UE initiates a related measurement based on a measurement identifier. For a first measurement identifier indicated by a first execution condition, the UE obtains a first measurement result corresponding to the first measurement identifier. For a second measurement identifier indicated by a second execution condition, the UE obtains a second measurement result corresponding to the second measurement identifier.

[0172] For example, for measurement identifiers associated with a condition-triggered reporting type, if a network-configured execution condition (condExecutionCond or condExecutionCondSCG) indicates these measurement identifiers, the UE initiates the corresponding measurement. This applies regardless of whether the measurement configurations corresponding to these execution conditions are stored directly or indirectly in VarConditionalReconfig.

[0173] For example, for a measurement identifier stored by the UE, if the reporting type in the associated reporting configuration is condition-triggered (condTriggerConfig), and the measurement identifier is indicated by the first execution condition corresponding to the first condition reconfiguration identifier (first configuration identifier) ​​in VarConditionalReconfig, if the UE meets other conditions related to obtaining the measurement result, the UE obtains the corresponding measurement result for this measurement identifier.

[0174] Other conditions related to obtaining measurement results include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following:

[0175] 1. If a measurement gap configuration is set up, or (if a measurement gap configuration is set up, or)

[0176] 2. If the UE does not require measurement gaps to perform the concerned measurements:

[0177] 3. If s-MeasureConfig is not configured, or (the first measurement configuration (s-MeasureConfig) is not configured; the first measurement configuration is used to measure the quality of the serving cell, or...)

[0178] 4. If s-MeasureConfig is set to ssb-RSRP and the NR SpCell RSRP based on the SS / PBCH block, after layer 3 filtering, is lower than ssb-RSRP, or (the first measurement configuration is set to the first SSB-RSRP, and the second SSB-RSRP of the sPCell after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SSB-RSRP, or)

[0179] 5. If s-MeasureConfig is set to csi-RSRP and the NR SpCell RSRP based on CSI-RS, after layer 3 filtering, is lower than csi-RSRP: (The first measurement configuration is set to the first CSI-RSRP, and the second CSI-RSRP of sPCell after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SCI-RSRP).

[0180] For example, for a measurement identifier stored by the UE, if the reporting type in the associated reporting configuration is condition-triggered and the measurement identifier is indicated by a second execution condition, wherein the second execution condition is the execution condition corresponding to the second condition reconfiguration identifier contained in the second condition reconfiguration configuration information contained in the first condRRCReconfig corresponding to the first condition reconfiguration identifier in VarConditionalReconfig, if the UE meets other conditions related to obtaining the measurement result, the UE obtains the corresponding measurement result of this measurement identifier.

[0181] For example, the UE evaluates whether the first execution condition is met based on the measurement results corresponding to the first execution condition and the second execution condition. In response to the first measurement result of the first candidate cell group indicated in the first RRCReconfiguration in the first condRRCReconfig satisfying the first execution condition, the UE applies the first condRRCReconfig. The UE evaluates whether the second measurement result of the second candidate cell or cell group indicated in the second RRCReconfiguration in the second condRRCReconfig satisfies the second execution condition based on the second measurement result of the second measurement identifier indicated by the second execution condition. In response to the second execution condition being satisfied, the UE applies the second condRRCReconfig.

[0182] The UE applies the first condRRCReconfig, which triggers CHO to access the candidate MCG (first candidate cell or cell group). The UE applies the second condRRCReconfig, which triggers CPA or CPC to access the candidate SCG (second candidate cell or cell group). The first candidate cell or cell group is associated with the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0183] For example, the UE evaluates whether the first and second execution conditions are met based on the measurement results corresponding to the first and second execution conditions. In response to the first measurement result of the first candidate cell or cell group indicated in the first RRCReconfiguration in the first condRRCReconfig satisfying the first execution condition and the second measurement result of the second candidate cell or cell group indicated in the second RRCReconfiguration in the second condRRCReconfig satisfying the second execution condition, the UE applies the first condRRCReconfig and the second condRRCReconfig.

[0184] The UE applies the first condRRCReconfig, which triggers CHO to access the candidate MCG (first candidate cell or cell group). The UE applies the second condRRCReconfig, which triggers CPA or CPC to access the candidate SCG (second candidate cell or cell group). The first candidate cell or cell group is associated with the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0185] In summary, the technical solution provided in this embodiment allows the terminal to obtain corresponding measurement results based on both the measurement identifier in the first configuration information and the measurement identifier in the second configuration information, thereby improving the cell measurement efficiency of the terminal. For example, the first message may contain first configuration information and second configuration information, and both the first and second configuration information may contain measurement identifiers.

[0186] Please refer to Figure 5b This document illustrates a flowchart of a cell measurement method provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment applies the method to... Figure 1 The method can be illustrated using a network device in a communication system as an example. The method may include the following steps:

[0187] Step 310: Send a first message, which is used to configure first configuration information and second configuration information; wherein, the first configuration information is used to configure the mobility configuration of the terminal's first candidate cell or cell group; and the second configuration information is used to configure the mobility configuration of the terminal's second candidate cell or cell group.

[0188] For example, the network device sends a first message, which is used to configure first configuration information and second configuration information; wherein, the first configuration information is used to carry the mobility configuration of a first candidate cell or cell group so that the terminal can obtain a first measurement result corresponding to the first configuration information; the second configuration information is used to carry the mobility configuration of a second candidate cell or cell group so that the terminal can obtain a second measurement result corresponding to the second configuration information.

[0189] For example, the network device is the access network device (the access network device of the serving cell) that the terminal is currently connected to.

[0190] For example, the first configuration information is generated by the access network device (e.g., candidate MN) of the first candidate cell or cell group, and the second configuration information is generated by the access network device (e.g., candidate SN) of the second candidate cell or cell group. The access network device (e.g., candidate MN) of the first candidate cell or cell group sends the first configuration information to the access network device (e.g., serving MN) of the serving cell, and the access network device (e.g., candidate SN) of the second candidate cell or cell group sends the second configuration information to the access network device (e.g., serving MN) of the serving cell. The access network device of the serving cell generates a first message based on the received first and second configuration information and sends the first message to the terminal.

[0191] For example, the first message is used to configure first configuration information and / or second configuration information.

[0192] For example, the first message is used to configure the first configuration information, which contains the second configuration information (for example, the first condition RRC reconfiguration field of the first configuration information carries the second configuration information).

[0193] For example, the first message is used to configure the first configuration information. Or, the first message is used to configure the second configuration information.

[0194] For example, the first configuration information can be configured first via a second message (which can be of the same type as the first message). Then, the first message can be used to modify the first configuration information, adding the second configuration information. For instance, the terminal receives the second message, stores the first configuration information configured in the second message in VarConditionalReconfig, and then receives the first message, which modifies the first configuration information (e.g., adding the second configuration information to the first conditional RRC reconfiguration field of the first configuration information). The terminal then adds the second configuration information to the first conditional RRC reconfiguration field of the first configuration information in VarConditionalReconfig based on the second message.

[0195] For example, the first configuration information can be either first conditional reconfiguration configuration information or configuration information for first conditional reconfiguration, and the second configuration information can be either second conditional reconfiguration configuration information or configuration information for second conditional reconfiguration. The first configuration information is used to configure the mobility of the MCG, and the second configuration information is used to configure the mobility of the SCG.

[0196] In one possible embodiment, the terminal receives first conditional reconfiguration information sent by the network side. This first conditional reconfiguration information is used to configure the mobility of the MCG and the mobility of the SCG, wherein the SCG is associated with the MCG. For example, the first conditional reconfiguration information is used to configure the configuration information of the CHO and CPA or CPC.

[0197] For example, the first conditional reconfiguration configuration information includes one or more second conditional reconfiguration configuration information, wherein the second conditional reconfiguration configuration information is used to configure the mobility of the SCG.

[0198] In one possible implementation, the first conditional reconfiguration information includes a first configuration identifier (condReconfigId), a first execution condition (condExecutionCond) corresponding to the MCG mobility (CHO), and a first RRCReconfiguration message (first condRRCReconfig, first conditional RRC reconfiguration) that needs to be applied when the first execution condition is met.

[0199] In one possible implementation, the first RRCReconfiguration message contains one or more second conditional reconfiguration information, wherein the first RRCReconfiguration message also contains configuration information for candidate MCGs.

[0200] In one possible implementation, the second conditional reconfiguration information includes a second configuration identifier, a second execution condition (condExecutionCond or condExecutionCondSCG) corresponding to the SCG mobility (CPA / CPC), and a second RRCReconfiguration message (second condRRCReconfig) to be applied when the first execution condition is met. The second RRCReconfiguration message also contains configuration information for the candidate SCG.

[0201] In one possible implementation, the first execution condition or the second execution condition can be represented by one or more measurement identifiers.

[0202] In one possible embodiment, in response to receiving one or more first conditional reconfiguration configuration information, the UE stores this configuration information in VarConditionalReconfig, which stores the conditional reconfiguration configuration.

[0203] In one possible embodiment, the UE initiates a related measurement based on a measurement identifier. For a first measurement identifier indicated by a first execution condition, the UE obtains a first measurement result corresponding to the first measurement identifier. For a second measurement identifier indicated by a second execution condition, the UE obtains a second measurement result corresponding to the second measurement identifier.

[0204] For example, for measurement identifiers associated with a condition-triggered reporting type, if a network-configured execution condition (condExecutionCond or condExecutionCondSCG) indicates these measurement identifiers, the UE initiates the corresponding measurement. This applies regardless of whether the measurement configurations corresponding to these execution conditions are stored directly or indirectly in VarConditionalReconfig.

[0205] For example, for a measurement identifier stored by the UE, if the reporting type in the associated reporting configuration is condition-triggered (condTriggerConfig), and the measurement identifier is indicated by the first execution condition corresponding to the first condition reconfiguration identifier (first configuration identifier) ​​in VarConditionalReconfig, if the UE meets other conditions related to obtaining the measurement result, the UE obtains the corresponding measurement result for this measurement identifier.

[0206] Other conditions related to obtaining measurement results include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following:

[0207] 1. If a measurement gap configuration is set up, or (if a measurement gap configuration is set up, or)

[0208] 2. If the UE does not require measurement gaps to perform the concerned measurements:

[0209] 3. If s-MeasureConfig is not configured, or (the first measurement configuration (s-MeasureConfig) is not configured; the first measurement configuration is used to measure the quality of the serving cell, or...)

[0210] 4. If s-MeasureConfig is set to ssb-RSRP and the NR SpCell RSRP based on SS or PBCH block, after layer 3 filtering, is lower than ssb-RSRP, or (the first measurement configuration is configured to the first SSB-RSRP, and the second SSB-RSRP of sPCell after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SSB-RSRP, or)

[0211] 5. If s-MeasureConfig is set to csi-RSRP and the NR SpCell RSRP based on CSI-RS, after layer 3 filtering, is lower than csi-RSRP: (The first measurement configuration is set to the first CSI-RSRP, and the second CSI-RSRP of sPCell after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SCI-RSRP).

[0212] For example, for a measurement identifier stored by the UE, if the reporting type in the associated reporting configuration is condition-triggered and the measurement identifier is indicated by a second execution condition, wherein the second execution condition is the execution condition corresponding to the second condition reconfiguration identifier contained in the second condition reconfiguration configuration information contained in the first condRRCReconfig corresponding to the first condition reconfiguration identifier in VarConditionalReconfig, if the UE meets other conditions related to obtaining the measurement result, the UE obtains the corresponding measurement result of this measurement identifier.

[0213] For example, the UE evaluates whether the first execution condition is met based on the measurement results corresponding to the first execution condition and the second execution condition. In response to the first measurement result of the first candidate cell group indicated in the first RRCReconfiguration in the first condRRCReconfig satisfying the first execution condition, the UE applies the first condRRCReconfig. The UE evaluates whether the second measurement result of the second candidate cell or cell group indicated in the second RRCReconfiguration in the second condRRCReconfig satisfies the second execution condition based on the second measurement result of the second measurement identifier indicated by the second execution condition. In response to the second execution condition being satisfied, the UE applies the second condRRCReconfig.

[0214] The UE applies the first condRRCReconfig, which triggers CHO to access the candidate MCG (first candidate cell or cell group). The UE applies the second condRRCReconfig, which triggers CPA or CPC to access the candidate SCG (second candidate cell or cell group). The first candidate cell or cell group is associated with the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0215] For example, the UE evaluates whether the first and second execution conditions are met based on the measurement results corresponding to the first and second execution conditions. In response to the first measurement result of the first candidate cell or cell group indicated in the first RRCReconfiguration in the first condRRCReconfig satisfying the first execution condition and the second measurement result of the second candidate cell or cell group indicated in the second RRCReconfiguration in the second condRRCReconfig satisfying the second execution condition, the UE applies the first condRRCReconfig and the second condRRCReconfig.

[0216] The UE applies the first condRRCReconfig, which triggers CHO to access the candidate MCG (first candidate cell or cell group). The UE applies the second condRRCReconfig, which triggers CPA or CPC to access the candidate SCG (second candidate cell or cell group). The first candidate cell or cell group is associated with the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0217] For example, the relevant explanations regarding the first message, first configuration information, second configuration information, first candidate cell or cell group, and second candidate cell or cell group can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 5a The relevant descriptions in the illustrated embodiments are as follows.

[0218] In summary, the technical solution provided in this embodiment allows the terminal to obtain corresponding measurement results based on both the measurement identifier in the first configuration information and the measurement identifier in the second configuration information, thereby improving the cell measurement efficiency of the terminal. For example, the first message may contain first configuration information and second configuration information, and both the first and second configuration information may contain measurement identifiers.

[0219] An exemplary embodiment of a network device sending first configuration information to a terminal is provided.

[0220] Please refer to Figure 6 This document illustrates a flowchart of a cell measurement method provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment applies the method to... Figure 1The example illustrates a communication system using terminals and network devices. These network devices can be access network devices or core network devices. Figure 5a In the illustrated embodiment, step 201 is included before step 210.

[0221] Step 201: The network device sends a first message, which is used to configure first configuration information and second configuration information.

[0222] For example, the network device is the access network device (the access network device of the serving cell) that the terminal is currently connected to.

[0223] For example, the first configuration information is generated by the access network device (e.g., candidate MN) of the first candidate cell or cell group, and the second configuration information is generated by the access network device (e.g., candidate SN) of the second candidate cell or cell group. The access network device (e.g., candidate MN) of the first candidate cell or cell group sends the first configuration information to the access network device (e.g., serving MN) of the serving cell, and the access network device (e.g., candidate SN) of the second candidate cell or cell group sends the second configuration information to the access network device (e.g., serving MN) of the serving cell. The access network device of the serving cell generates a first message based on the received first and second configuration information and sends the first message to the terminal.

[0224] The terminal receives the first configuration information sent by the network device and stores the first configuration information in the variable conditional reconfiguration (VarConditionalReconfig). The variable conditional reconfiguration is a terminal variable used by the terminal to store the configuration information of the cumulative conditional reconfiguration.

[0225] The configuration information for cumulative conditional reconfiguration can be as follows: when the network device sends a conditional reconfiguration add / modify list message, the terminal updates the configuration information of the conditional reconfigurations to be added or modified in the conditional reconfiguration add / modify list message to the variable conditional reconfiguration; when the network device sends a conditional reconfiguration delete list message, the terminal deletes the configuration information of the conditional reconfigurations to be deleted in the conditional reconfiguration delete list message from the variable conditional reconfiguration. In other words, the configuration information stored in the variable conditional reconfiguration is updated in real time according to the network device's configuration, and new configuration information is updated and stored in the conditional reconfiguration.

[0226] VarConditionalReconfig is used to store the received condReconfig (first configuration information). For example, when the terminal receives condReconfigToAddModList (conditional reconfiguration add / modify list), it adds or updates the condReconfig (first configuration information) from condReconfigToAddModList to VarConditionalReconfig.

[0227] For example, the first configuration information can also be referred to as the first condReconfig, or the first conditional reconfiguration configuration information, or the configuration information for the first conditional reconfiguration. The second configuration information can also be referred to as the second condReconfig, or the second conditional reconfiguration configuration information, or the configuration information for the second conditional reconfiguration.

[0228] The first configuration information includes at least one of the following fields: first configuration identifier (or first conditional reconfiguration identifier, first condReconfigId), first execution condition (condExecutionCond or condExecutionCondSCG), and first conditional RRC reconfiguration (first condRRCReconfig).

[0229] For example, the first execution condition is indicated by the first measurement identifier. The terminal's VarConditionalReconfig stores the association between the measurement identifier (condReconfigId), the measurement object, and the reporting configuration (reportConfig), where the reporting configuration includes the execution condition (or triggering event). Based on the first measurement identifier carried in the first execution condition field, the terminal retrieves the execution condition corresponding to the first measurement identifier from the VarConditionalReconfig; this execution condition is the first execution condition.

[0230] It should be noted that the first execution condition field can carry at least one first measurement identifier. When the first execution condition field carries multiple first measurement identifiers, the terminal obtains the execution condition (trigger event) corresponding to each first measurement identifier. Then the first execution condition includes the execution condition corresponding to each first measurement identifier. The terminal will only determine that the first execution condition is met when all these execution conditions are met.

[0231] For example, the first condition RRC reconfiguration field carries a first RRC reconfiguration message. The first RRC reconfiguration message carries: configuration information of the first candidate cell or cell group corresponding to the first execution condition (this configuration information will be applied when the first measurement result meets the first execution condition, that is, access to the first candidate cell or cell group when the first measurement result meets the first execution condition), and second configuration information.

[0232] In summary, in one optional embodiment, the first configuration information includes at least one of the following: a first configuration identifier, a first measurement identifier (for indicating a first execution condition), and a first RRC reconfiguration message, wherein the first RRC reconfiguration message includes configuration information of a first candidate cell or cell group and second configuration information.

[0233] Alternatively, the first configuration information may include at least one of the following: a first configuration identifier, a first measurement identifier (used to indicate the first execution condition), configuration information of the first candidate cell or cell group, and second configuration information.

[0234] Alternatively, the first configuration information may include at least one of the following: a first configuration identifier, a first measurement identifier associated with the first configuration identifier (for indicating a first execution condition), configuration information of a first candidate cell or cell group associated with the first configuration identifier, a second configuration identifier, a second measurement identifier associated with the second configuration identifier (for indicating a second execution condition), and configuration information of a second candidate cell or cell group associated with the second configuration identifier.

[0235] The second configuration information includes at least one of the following fields: second configuration identifier (or second conditional reconfiguration identifier, second condReconfigId), second execution condition (condExecutionCond or condExecutionCondSCG), and second conditional RRC reconfiguration (second condRRCReconfig).

[0236] For example, the second execution condition is indicated by the second measurement identifier. The terminal's VarConditionalReconfig stores the association between the measurement identifier (condReconfigId), the measurement object, and the reporting configuration (reportConfig), where the reporting configuration includes the execution condition (or trigger event). Based on the second measurement identifier carried in the second execution condition field, the terminal retrieves the execution condition corresponding to the second measurement identifier from the VarConditionalReconfig; this execution condition is the second execution condition.

[0237] It should be noted that the second execution condition field can carry at least one second measurement identifier. When the second execution condition field carries multiple second measurement identifiers, the terminal obtains the execution condition (trigger event) corresponding to each second measurement identifier. Then the second execution condition includes the execution condition corresponding to each second measurement identifier. The terminal will only determine that the second execution condition is met when all these execution conditions are met.

[0238] For example, the second condition RRC reconfiguration field carries a second RRC reconfiguration message. The second RRC reconfiguration message carries the configuration information of the second candidate cell or cell group corresponding to the second execution condition (this configuration information will be applied when the second measurement result meets the second execution condition, that is, access to the second candidate cell or cell group when the second measurement result meets the second execution condition).

[0239] In summary, in one optional embodiment, the second configuration information includes at least one of the following: a second configuration identifier, a second measurement identifier (for indicating the second execution condition), and a second RRC reconfiguration message, wherein the second RRC reconfiguration message includes configuration information of the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0240] Alternatively, the second configuration information may include at least one of the following: a second configuration identifier, a second measurement identifier (used to indicate the second execution conditions), and configuration information of the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0241] It should be noted that the above execution conditions (first execution condition or second execution condition) are used to determine whether to perform cell access. When the measurement results meet the execution conditions, access is granted to the candidate cell or cell group corresponding to the measurement results.

[0242] For example, a first configuration identifier is used to identify first configuration information, or, the first configuration identifier is used to associate other information in the first configuration information. Similarly, a second configuration identifier is used to identify second configuration information, or, the second configuration identifier is used to associate other information in the second configuration information. The association between the first and second configuration identifiers can be used to indicate the inclusion relationship (nesting relationship) between the first and second configuration information.

[0243] For example, the number of second configuration information included in the first configuration information is at least one. That is, the first configuration information includes at least one second configuration information, and / or, the first conditional RRC reconfiguration field carries at least one second configuration information, and / or, the first RRC reconfiguration message carries at least one second configuration information. One second configuration information is used to configure the mobility configuration of a second candidate cell or cell group, and multiple second configuration information can configure the mobility configuration of multiple second candidate cells or cell groups.

[0244] That is, a first configuration information may include at least one second configuration information. The first configuration information is used to configure a first candidate cell or cell group, and the second configuration information is used to configure a second candidate cell or cell group. Then the first candidate cell or cell group may be associated with at least one second candidate cell or cell group.

[0245] For example, the association between information means that one piece of information can be obtained from another. For instance, the association between a first measurement identifier and a first execution condition means that the terminal can obtain the first execution condition from the variable condition reconfiguration based on the first measurement identifier. The association between fields means that information within fields is stored in an associated manner. The association between a first candidate cell or cell group and a second candidate cell or cell group means that the first configuration information corresponding to the first candidate cell or cell group and the second configuration information corresponding to the second candidate cell or cell group have an associated relationship (nested relationship), or that the measurement association between the first candidate cell or cell group and the second candidate cell or cell group is initiated, or that the association between the first candidate cell or cell group and the second candidate cell or cell group triggers cell access. For example, after the first execution condition corresponding to the first candidate cell or cell group is met, it is then determined whether the second execution condition corresponding to the second candidate cell or cell group is met. If it is met, access is granted to the second candidate cell or cell group; otherwise, access is denied. Alternatively, access is granted only when both the first and second execution conditions are met simultaneously.

[0246] The first candidate cell or cell group can be a candidate PCell or MCG, and the second candidate cell or cell group can be a candidate PSCell or SCG. Alternatively, the first candidate cell or cell group can be a candidate PCell or MCG, and the second candidate cell or cell group can be a candidate PCell or MCG.

[0247] In cases where the first candidate cell or cell group includes a candidate primary cell or primary cell group (MCG), the second candidate cell or cell group includes a candidate primary-secondary cell or secondary cell group (SCG).

[0248] Alternatively, if the first candidate cell or cell group includes the first candidate primary cell or MCG, the second candidate cell or cell group includes the second candidate primary cell or MCG. Wherein, if the terminal accesses the first candidate primary cell or MCG, the second candidate primary cell or MCG can serve as a candidate cell for the first candidate primary cell or MCG. For example, the candidate primary / secondary cells or SCGs associated with the first candidate primary cell or MCG can be configured using third configuration information, which can be carried in a second message (the second message and the first message can be of the same type).

[0249] When the first configuration information is used to carry the mobility configuration of PCell or MCG, the second configuration information is used to carry the mobility configuration of PSCell or SCG; or, when the first configuration information is used to carry the mobility configuration of PCell or MCG, the second configuration information is used to carry the mobility configuration of PCell or MCG; or, when the first configuration information is used to carry the mobility configuration of PSCell or SCG, the first configuration information cannot contain the second configuration information. Wherein, the mobility configuration of PCell or MCG includes the configuration information of CHO, and the mobility configuration of PSCell or SCG includes the configuration information of CPC and / or CPA.

[0250] For example, the first configuration information includes the configuration information of the conditional handover CHO of the first candidate cell or cell group, and the second configuration information includes the configuration information of the conditional primary and secondary cell change CPC and / or conditional primary and secondary cell addition CPA of the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0251] In an optional embodiment, the terminal receives a `condReconfigToAddModList` (conditional reconfiguration add / modify list) sent by the network device. The network device can configure at least one first configuration information (`condReconfig`) through `condReconfigToAddModList`. For example, `condReconfigToAddModList` is shown below:

[0252]

[0253]

[0254] For example, in response to the first conditional reconfiguration configuration information being used for the mobility of the MCG, the second conditional reconfiguration configuration information included in the candidate target configuration of the first conditional reconfiguration configuration information can only be used for the mobility of the SCG, and cannot be used for the mobility of the MCG.

[0255] For example, in response to the first conditional reconfiguration configuration information for the mobility of the SCG, the first conditional reconfiguration configuration information cannot contain conditional reconfiguration configuration information, that is, the first configuration information cannot be nested with the second configuration information.

[0256] Step 202: Obtain the first measurement result corresponding to the first configuration information, and / or obtain the second measurement result corresponding to the second configuration information.

[0257] For example, the terminal obtains the first measurement result corresponding to the first measurement identifier according to the first measurement identifier in the first configuration information; and obtains the second measurement result corresponding to the second measurement identifier according to the second measurement identifier in the second configuration information.

[0258] Alternatively, the terminal may initiate measurement of the first candidate cell or cell group based on the first measurement identifier in the first configuration information and obtain the first measurement result; and initiate measurement of the second candidate cell or cell group based on the second measurement identifier in the second configuration information and obtain the second measurement result.

[0259] For example, when there are multiple first measurement identifiers, the first measurement result includes multiple measurement results corresponding to each of the multiple first measurement identifiers. When there are multiple second measurement identifiers, the second measurement result includes multiple measurement results corresponding to each of the multiple second measurement identifiers.

[0260] It should be noted that the terminal stores measurement identifiers, measurement objects, and reporting configurations in association. One measurement identifier corresponds to one measurement object, and one measurement identifier corresponds to one reporting configuration. The same measurement object can correspond to multiple measurement identifiers, and different measurement identifiers correspond to different reporting configurations. The reporting configuration includes information such as execution conditions (triggering events) and reporting type.

[0261] The first configuration information includes: a first configuration identifier, at least one first measurement identifier, and configuration information for a first candidate cell or cell group. The measurement object associated with at least one first measurement identifier is always a first candidate cell or cell group. Different first measurement identifiers are used to indicate different reporting configurations (different execution conditions or triggering events) for the first candidate cell or cell group. Therefore, the first execution condition corresponding to the first candidate cell or cell group includes: at least one execution condition or triggering event associated with at least one first measurement identifier.

[0262] Similarly, the second configuration information includes: a second configuration identifier, at least one second measurement identifier, and configuration information for a second candidate cell or cell group. The measurement object associated with at least one second measurement identifier is always a second candidate cell or cell group. Different second measurement identifiers are used to indicate different reporting configurations (different execution conditions or triggering events) for the second candidate cell or cell group. Therefore, the second execution condition corresponding to the second candidate cell or cell group includes: at least one execution condition or triggering event associated with at least one second measurement identifier.

[0263] For example, the first measurement result obtained according to the first measurement identifier is the measurement result of the first candidate cell or cell group, and the second measurement result obtained according to the second measurement identifier is the measurement result of the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0264] Optionally, the terminal determines whether to access the first candidate cell or cell group based on whether the first measurement result meets the first execution condition indicated by the first measurement identifier; and determines whether to access the second candidate cell or cell group based on whether the second measurement result meets the second execution condition indicated by the second measurement identifier.

[0265] In summary, the technical solution provided in this embodiment allows network devices to configure CHO and CPA or CPC configuration information to terminals using a nested structure. For example, the CHO configuration information may include CPA or CPC configuration information. Terminals can initiate measurements corresponding to the CHO and CPA or CPC based on the network device's configuration. If the CHO configuration information includes CPAC configuration information, corresponding measurements are also initiated for the measurement identifier in the CPAC configuration information. This improves the terminal's cell measurement efficiency.

[0266] An exemplary embodiment is provided in which a terminal obtains measurement results based on a first measurement identifier and a second measurement identifier.

[0267] Please refer to Figure 7a This document illustrates a flowchart of a cell measurement method provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment applies the method to... Figure 1 The example shown is a terminal in a communication system. Based on... Figure 5a In the illustrated embodiment, step 210 includes steps 211, 212, and 213.

[0268] Step 211: For each measurement identifier in the measurement identifier list, perform step 212 and / or step 213.

[0269] For example, the terminal stores a list of measurement identifiers, which includes at least one measurement identifier. The list of measurement identifiers may consist of measurement identifiers from VarConditionalReconfiguration. The list includes a first measurement identifier and a second measurement identifier.

[0270] Alternatively, in some disclosed embodiments, the terminal may store measurement identifiers in other ways, not limited to the list of measurement identifiers mentioned above.

[0271] Step 212: When the reporting type associated with the first measurement identifier is condition-triggered and the first measurement identifier is indicated in the first execution condition, obtain the first measurement result corresponding to the first measurement identifier.

[0272] Optionally, the terminal's VarConditionalReconfig stores the association between measurement identifiers and reporting configurations, which include reporting types. Reporting types include at least one of the following: condition-triggered, event-triggered, and periodic.

[0273] For example, for measurement identifiers associated with a condition-triggered reporting type, if a network-configured execution condition (first execution condition: condExecutionCond or condExecutionCondSCG or second execution condition: condExecutionCond or condExecutionCondSCG) indicates these measurement identifiers, the UE initiates the corresponding measurement. This applies regardless of whether the measurement configurations corresponding to these execution conditions are stored directly or indirectly in VarConditionalReconfig. Direct storage means the first configuration information is directly stored in VarConditionalReconfig, while indirect storage means the second configuration information is nested within the first configuration information and stored in VarConditionalReconfig.

[0274] For example, when the reporting type of the measurement identifier is condition-triggered, if the network device has configured the condition reconfiguration information (first configuration information or second configuration information) for the measurement identifier, the terminal can start the measurement corresponding to the measurement identifier and obtain the measurement result.

[0275] For example, for the first measurement identifier in the measurement identifier list, if the reporting type in the reporting configuration associated with the first measurement identifier is condition-triggered, and the first execution condition field in the first configuration information indicates the first measurement identifier, then the terminal starts the measurement corresponding to the first measurement identifier and obtains the first measurement result.

[0276] For example, for a measurement identifier stored by the UE, if the reporting type in its associated reporting configuration is condition-triggered (condTriggerConfig) and the measurement identifier is indicated by the first execution condition corresponding to the first configuration identifier in VarConditionalReconfig, if the UE meets other conditions related to obtaining the measurement result (first result acquisition condition), the UE obtains the corresponding measurement result for this measurement identifier.

[0277] For example, if the reporting type associated with the first measurement identifier is condition-triggered, and the first measurement identifier is indicated in the first execution condition, and the terminal meets the first result acquisition condition, the first measurement result corresponding to the first measurement identifier is acquired.

[0278] The first result acquisition conditions include at least one of the following: a measurement interval configuration is set; no measurement interval is required when the terminal performs the measurement; no first measurement configuration (s-MeasureConfig) is configured, the first measurement configuration is used to measure the quality of the serving cell; the first measurement configuration is configured as the first synchronization signal or physical broadcast channel block-reference signal received power (SSB-RSRP), and the second SSB-RSRP of the special cell (sPCell, including PCell and / or PSCell) after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SSB-RSRP; the first measurement configuration is configured as the first channel state information-reference signal received power (CSI-RSRP), and the second CSI-RSRP of the special cell (sPCell, including PCell and / or PSCell) after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SCI-RSRP.

[0279] Step 213: When the reporting type associated with the second measurement identifier is condition-triggered and the second measurement identifier is indicated in the second execution condition, obtain the second measurement result corresponding to the second measurement identifier.

[0280] For example, for the second measurement identifier in the measurement identifier list, if the reporting type in the reporting configuration associated with the second measurement identifier is condition-triggered, and the second execution condition field in the second configuration information indicates the second measurement identifier, then the terminal starts the measurement corresponding to the second measurement identifier and obtains the second measurement result.

[0281] For example, when the reporting type associated with the second measurement identifier is condition-triggered, and the second measurement identifier is indicated in the second execution condition, and the terminal meets the second result acquisition condition, the second measurement result corresponding to the second measurement identifier is acquired.

[0282] The conditions for obtaining the second result include at least one of the following: a measurement interval configuration is set; no measurement interval is required when the terminal performs the measurement; no first measurement configuration (s-MeasureConfig) is configured, the first measurement configuration being used to measure the quality of the serving cell; the first measurement configuration is configured as the first Synchronization Signal / Physical Broadcast Channel Block-Reference Signal Received Power (SSB-RSRP), and the second SSB-RSRP of the special cell (sPCell, including PCell and / or PSCell) after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SSB-RSRP; the first measurement configuration is configured as the first Channel State Information-Reference Signal Received Power (CSI-RSRP), and the second CSI-RSRP of the special cell (sPCell, including PCell and / or PSCell) after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SCI-RSRP.

[0283] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 7b As shown, an exemplary embodiment of a terminal initiating measurement or obtaining measurement results is provided, and the method may include the following steps.

[0284] Step 401: For each measurement identifier (measId) in the measurement identifier list (measIdList) within VarMeasConfig.

[0285] For example, for each measurement identifier in the measurement identifier list, determine its corresponding reporting type. If the reporting type is periodic or event-triggered, then execute step 402; if the reporting type is condition-triggered, then execute step 403.

[0286] Step 402: If the reportType of the associated reportConfig is periodic or eventTrigger; or...

[0287] For example, if the measurement identifier satisfies step 402, it is further determined whether it satisfies step 404 or step 405. If it satisfies either step 404 or step 405, it is further determined whether it satisfies step 406, step 407, or step 408.

[0288] Step 403: If the reportType for the associated reportConfig is condTriggerConfig and the measId is indicated in the condExecutionCond or the condExecutionCondSCG.

[0289] For example, if the measurement identifier satisfies step 403, it is further determined whether it satisfies step 404 or step 405. If it satisfies either step 404 or step 405, it is further determined whether it satisfies step 406, step 407, or step 408.

[0290] For example, the terminal may directly execute step 409 after satisfying step 403. Alternatively, the terminal may execute any of the judgment steps 404 to 408 after satisfying step 403, and then execute step 409 after satisfying the judgment.

[0291] For example, the terminal may also combine step 403 with other steps (e.g., conditions that other terminals need to meet) to determine whether to execute step 409.

[0292] For example, if the measurement identifier does not satisfy step 403 and does not satisfy step 402, the process is stopped, and the measurement corresponding to the measurement identifier is not started or the measurement result corresponding to the measurement identifier is not obtained.

[0293] Step 404: If a measurement gap configuration is set up, or...

[0294] Step 405: The UE does not require measurement gaps to perform the measurements.

[0295] For example, if step 404 and step 405 are not satisfied, the process is stopped, and the measurement corresponding to the measurement identifier is not started or the measurement result corresponding to the measurement identifier is not obtained.

[0296] Step 406: First measurement configuration is not configured (if s-MeasureConfig is not configured), or.

[0297] Step 407: The first measurement configuration is configured to the first SSB-RSRP, and the second SSB-RSRP of the sPCell after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SSB-RSRP (if s-MeasureConfig is set to ssb-RSRP and the NRSpCell RSRP based on SS or PBCH block, after layer 3 filtering, is lower than ssb-RSRP), or.

[0298] Step 408: The first measurement configuration is configured to the first CSI-RSRP, and the second CSI-RSRP of the sPCell after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SCI-RSRP.

[0299] For example, if step 406, step 407, and step 408 are not satisfied, the process is stopped, and the measurement corresponding to the measurement identifier is not started or the measurement result corresponding to the measurement identifier is not obtained.

[0300] ...Step 409: Obtain the measurement results corresponding to the measurement identifier.

[0301] For example, if any one of steps 406, 407, or 408 is satisfied, then step 409 is executed to obtain the measurement result corresponding to the measurement identifier.

[0302] In summary, the technical solution provided in this embodiment allows the terminal to initiate measurement and obtain the second measurement result corresponding to the second measurement identifier when the reporting type of the second measurement identifier is condition-triggered and the second measurement identifier is indicated by the second execution condition field, thereby improving the measurement efficiency of the terminal and reducing the evaluation latency of CPAC.

[0303] Exemplary embodiments are provided, in which another terminal obtains measurement results based on a first measurement identifier and a second measurement identifier.

[0304] Please refer to Figure 8a This document illustrates a flowchart of a cell measurement method provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment applies the method to... Figure 1 The example shown is a terminal in a communication system. Based on... Figure 5a In the illustrated embodiment, step 210 includes steps 211, 214, and 215.

[0305] Step 211: For each measurement identifier in the measurement identifier list, perform step 214 and / or step 215.

[0306] For example, the list of measurement identifiers includes a first measurement identifier and a second measurement identifier.

[0307] Step 214: If the reporting type associated with the first measurement identifier is condition-triggered, and the first measurement identifier is indicated in the first execution condition, and the first execution condition is associated with the first configuration identifier in the variable condition reconfiguration, obtain the first measurement result corresponding to the first measurement identifier.

[0308] For example, when the reporting type associated with the first measurement identifier is condition-triggered, and the first measurement identifier is indicated in the first execution condition, and the first execution condition is associated with the first configuration identifier in the variable condition reconfiguration, and the terminal meets the first result acquisition condition, the first measurement result corresponding to the first measurement identifier is acquired.

[0309] The conditions for obtaining the first result include at least one of the following: a measurement interval configuration is set; no measurement interval is required when the terminal performs the measurement; no first measurement configuration (s-MeasureConfig) is configured, the first measurement configuration is used to measure the quality of the serving cell; the first measurement configuration is configured as the first SSB-RSRP, and the second SSB-RSRP of the special cell (sPCell, including PCell and / or PSCell) after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SSB-RSRP; the first measurement configuration is configured as the first CSI-RSRP, and the second CSI-RSRP of the special cell (sPCell, including PCell and / or PSCell) after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SCI-RSRP.

[0310] Step 215: If the reporting type associated with the second measurement identifier is condition-triggered, and the second measurement identifier is indicated in the second execution condition, and the second execution condition is associated with the second configuration identifier, and the second configuration identifier is included in the first condition RRC reconfiguration, then obtain the second measurement result corresponding to the second measurement identifier.

[0311] The first conditional RRC reconfiguration is included in the variable conditional reconfiguration.

[0312] For example, if the reporting type associated with the second measurement identifier is condition-triggered, and the second measurement identifier is indicated in the second execution condition, and the second execution condition is associated with the second configuration identifier, and the second configuration identifier is included in the first condition RRC reconfiguration, and the terminal meets the second result acquisition condition, the second measurement result corresponding to the second measurement identifier is acquired.

[0313] The conditions for obtaining the second result include at least one of the following: a measurement interval configuration is set; no measurement interval is required when the terminal performs the measurement; no first measurement configuration (s-MeasureConfig) is configured, the first measurement configuration is used to measure the quality of the serving cell; the first measurement configuration is configured as the first SSB-RSRP, and the second SSB-RSRP of the special cell (sPCell, including PCell and / or PSCell) after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SSB-RSRP; the first measurement configuration is configured as the first CSI-RSRP, and the second CSI-RSRP of the special cell (sPCell, including PCell and / or PSCell) after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SCI-RSRP.

[0314] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 8b As shown, an exemplary embodiment of a terminal initiating measurement or obtaining measurement results is provided, and the method may include the following steps.

[0315] Step 501: For each measurement identifier (measId) in the measurement identifier list (measIdList) within VarMeasConfig.

[0316] For example, for each measurement identifier in the measurement identifier list, determine its corresponding reporting type. If the reporting type is periodic or event-triggered, proceed to step 502; if the reporting type is condition-triggered, proceed to step 503. Step 502: If the reportType of the associated reportConfig is periodic or event-triggered; or...

[0317] For example, if the measurement identifier satisfies step 502, it is further determined whether it satisfies step 505 or step 506. If it satisfies either step 505 or step 506, it is further determined whether it satisfies step 507, step 508, or step 509.

[0318] Step 503: If the reportType for the associated reportConfig is condTriggerConfig, and the measId is indicated in condExecutionCond or condExecutionCondSCG, and condExecutionCond or condExecutionCondSCG is associated with a condReconfigId in VarConditionalReconfig; or...

[0319] For example, if the measurement identifier satisfies step 503, it is further determined whether it satisfies step 505 or step 506. If it satisfies either step 505 or step 506, it is further determined whether it satisfies step 507, step 508, or step 509.

[0320] Step 504: If the reportType of the associated reportConfig is condTriggerConfig, and the measId is indicated in condExecutionCond or condExecutionCondSCG, and condExecutionCond or condExecutionCondSCG is associated with a first configuration identifier or a second configuration identifier (condReconfigId), and the second configuration identifier (condReconfigId) is carried in the first RRC reconfiguration message (RRCReconfiguration) in the first conditional RRC reconfiguration field of the conditional reconfiguration (if the reportType for the associated reportConfig is condTriggerConfig and the measId is indicated in the condExecutionCond or in the condExecutionCondSCG associated to a condReconfigId, and thecondReconfigId is included in conditionalReconfiguration in theRRCReconfiguration within condRRCReconfig).

[0321] For example, if the measurement identifier satisfies step 504, it is further determined whether it satisfies step 505 or step 506. If it satisfies either step 505 or step 506, it is further determined whether it satisfies step 507, step 508, or step 509.

[0322] For example, the terminal may directly execute step 510 after satisfying step 504. Alternatively, the terminal may execute any of the judgment steps 505 to 509 after satisfying step 504, and then execute step 510 after satisfying the judgment.

[0323] For example, the terminal may also combine step 504 with other steps (e.g., conditions that other terminals need to meet) to determine whether to execute step 510.

[0324] For example, if the measurement identifier does not satisfy step 502, step 503, and step 504, the process is stopped, and the measurement corresponding to the measurement identifier is not started or the measurement result corresponding to the measurement identifier is not obtained.

[0325] Step 505: If a measurement gap configuration is set up, or...

[0326] Step 506: The UE does not require measurement gaps to perform the measurements.

[0327] For example, if step 505 and step 506 are not satisfied, the process is stopped, and the measurement corresponding to the measurement identifier is not started or the measurement result corresponding to the measurement identifier is not obtained.

[0328] Step 507: First measurement configuration is not configured (if s-MeasureConfig is not configured), or.

[0329] Step 508: The first measurement configuration is configured to the first SSB-RSRP, and the second SSB-RSRP of the sPCell after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SSB-RSRP (if s-MeasureConfig is set to ssb-RSRP and the NRSpCell RSRP based on SS or PBCH block, after layer 3 filtering, is lower than ssb-RSRP), or.

[0330] Step 509: The first measurement configuration is configured to the first CSI-RSRP, and the second CSI-RSRP of the sPCell after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SCI-RSRP.

[0331] For example, if step 507, step 508, and step 509 are not satisfied, the process is stopped, and the measurement corresponding to the measurement identifier is not started or the measurement result corresponding to the measurement identifier is not obtained.

[0332] Step 510: Obtain measurement results.

[0333] For example, if any one of steps 507, 508, or 509 is satisfied, then step 510 is executed to obtain the measurement result corresponding to the measurement identifier.

[0334] In another alternative embodiment, such as Figure 8c As shown, an exemplary embodiment of a terminal initiating measurement or obtaining measurement results is given, the method including the following steps.

[0335] Step 601: For each measurement identifier (measId) in the measurement identifier list (measIdList) within VarMeasConfig.

[0336] For example, for each measurement identifier in the measurement identifier list, determine its corresponding reporting type. If the reporting type is periodic or event-triggered, then execute step 602; if the reporting type is condition-triggered, then execute step 603.

[0337] Step 602: If the reportType of the associated reportConfig is periodic or eventtriggered; or...

[0338] For example, if the measurement identifier satisfies step 602, it is further determined whether it satisfies step 604 or step 605. If it satisfies either step 604 or step 605, it is further determined whether it satisfies step 606, step 607, or step 608.

[0339] Step 603: If the reportType for the associated reportConfig is condTriggerConfig, and the measId is indicated in condExecutionCond or condExecutionCondSCG, and condExecutionCond or condExecutionCondSCG is associated with a first configuration identifier or a second configuration identifier (condReconfigId) in VarConditionalReconfiguration, or if the second configuration identifier (condReconfigId) is carried in the first conditional RRC reconfiguration field of conditionalReconfiguration (if the reportType for the associated reportConfig is condTriggerConfig and the measId is indicated in the condExecutionCond or in the condExecutionCondSCG associated with acondReconfigId). in VarConditionalReconfig or a condReconfigId in aconditionalReconfiguration within conditionalReconfiguration).

[0340] For example, if the measurement identifier satisfies step 603, it is further determined whether it satisfies step 604 or step 605. If it satisfies either step 604 or step 605, it is further determined whether it satisfies step 606, step 607, or step 608.

[0341] For example, the terminal may directly execute step 609 after satisfying step 603. Alternatively, the terminal may execute any of the judgment steps 604 to 608 after satisfying step 603, and then execute step 609 after satisfying the judgment.

[0342] For example, the terminal may also combine step 603 with other steps (e.g., conditions that other terminals need to meet) to determine whether to execute step 609.

[0343] For example, if the measurement identifier does not satisfy step 603 and does not satisfy step 602, the process is stopped, and the measurement corresponding to the measurement identifier is not started or the measurement result corresponding to the measurement identifier is not obtained.

[0344] Step 604: If a measurement gap configuration is set up, or...

[0345] Step 605: The UE does not require measurement gaps to perform the measurements.

[0346] For example, if step 604 and step 605 are not satisfied, the process is stopped, and the measurement corresponding to the measurement identifier is not started or the measurement result corresponding to the measurement identifier is not obtained.

[0347] Step 606: First measurement configuration is not configured (if s-MeasureConfig is not configured), or.

[0348] Step 607: The first measurement configuration is configured to the first SSB-RSRP, and the second SSB-RSRP of the sPCell after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SSB-RSRP (if s-MeasureConfig is set to ssb-RSRP and the NRSpCell RSRP based on SS or PBCH block, after layer 3 filtering, is lower than ssb-RSRP), or.

[0349] Step 608: The first measurement configuration is configured to the first CSI-RSRP, and the second CSI-RSRP of the sPCell after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SCI-RSRP.

[0350] For example, if step 606, step 607, and step 608 are not satisfied, the process is stopped, and the measurement corresponding to the measurement identifier is not started or the measurement result corresponding to the measurement identifier is not obtained.

[0351] Step 609: Obtain measurement results.

[0352] For example, if any one of steps 606, 607, or 608 is satisfied, then step 609 is executed to obtain the measurement result corresponding to the measurement identifier.

[0353] In summary, the technical solution provided in this embodiment allows the terminal to initiate measurement and obtain the second measurement result corresponding to the second measurement identifier when the reporting type of the second measurement identifier is condition-triggered, the second measurement identifier is indicated by the second execution condition field, the second execution condition is associated with the second configuration identifier, and the second configuration identifier is included in the first condition RRC reconfiguration field. This improves the measurement efficiency of the terminal and reduces the evaluation latency of CPAC.

[0354] Exemplary embodiments are provided for another terminal to obtain measurement results based on a first measurement identifier and a second measurement identifier.

[0355] Please refer to Figure 9 This document illustrates a flowchart of a cell measurement method provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment applies the method to... Figure 1 The example shown is a terminal in a communication system. Based on... Figure 5a In the illustrated embodiment, step 210 includes steps 211, 216, and 217.

[0356] Step 211: For each measurement identifier in the measurement identifier list, perform step 216 and / or step 217.

[0357] Step 216: If the reporting type associated with the first measurement identifier is condition-triggered, and the first measurement identifier is indicated in the first execution condition, and the first execution condition is associated with the first configuration identifier in the variable condition reconfiguration, obtain the first measurement result corresponding to the first measurement identifier.

[0358] For example, when the reporting type associated with the first measurement identifier is condition-triggered, and the first measurement identifier is indicated in the first execution condition, and the first execution condition is associated with the first configuration identifier in the variable condition reconfiguration, and the terminal meets the first result acquisition condition, the first measurement result corresponding to the first measurement identifier is acquired.

[0359] The conditions for obtaining the first result include at least one of the following: a measurement interval configuration is set; no measurement interval is required when the terminal performs the measurement; no first measurement configuration (s-MeasureConfig) is configured, the first measurement configuration is used to measure the quality of the serving cell; the first measurement configuration is configured as the first SSB-RSRP, and the second SSB-RSRP of the special cell (sPCell, including PCell and / or PSCell) after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SSB-RSRP; the first measurement configuration is configured as the first CSI-RSRP, and the second CSI-RSRP of the special cell (sPCell, including PCell and / or PSCell) after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SCI-RSRP.

[0360] For example, if the reporting type associated with the first measurement identifier is periodic or event-triggered, it can be based on Figure 7b , Figure 8b , Figure 8c Each of the illustrated embodiments is used to initiate a measurement or obtain measurement results.

[0361] For example, if the reporting type associated with the first measurement identifier is condition-triggered, and the first measurement identifier is not indicated in the execution condition (the network device does not have configuration information containing the first measurement identifier or configuration information for condition reconfiguration), then the measurement corresponding to the first measurement identifier will not be started, or the first measurement result corresponding to the first measurement identifier will not be obtained.

[0362] Step 217: If the reporting type associated with the second measurement identifier is condition-triggered, and the second measurement identifier is indicated in the second execution condition, and the second execution condition is the execution condition corresponding to the first configuration identifier in the variable condition reconfiguration and the second configuration identifier in the RRC reconfiguration, then obtain the second measurement result corresponding to the second measurement identifier.

[0363] For example, for a measurement identifier stored by the UE, if the reporting type in the associated reporting configuration is condition-triggered and the measurement identifier is indicated by a second execution condition, wherein the second execution condition is the execution condition corresponding to the second condition reconfiguration identifier contained in the second condition reconfiguration configuration information contained in the first condRRCReconfig corresponding to the first condition reconfiguration identifier in VarConditionalReconfig, if the UE meets other conditions related to obtaining measurement results (second result acquisition conditions), the UE obtains the corresponding measurement result of this measurement identifier.

[0364] For example, if the reporting type associated with the second measurement identifier is condition-triggered, and the second measurement identifier is indicated in the second execution condition, and the second execution condition is the execution condition corresponding to the first configuration identifier in the variable condition reconfiguration and the second configuration identifier in the RRC reconfiguration, and the terminal meets the second result acquisition condition, the second measurement result corresponding to the second measurement identifier is acquired.

[0365] The conditions for obtaining the second result include at least one of the following: a measurement interval configuration is set; no measurement interval is required when the terminal performs the measurement; no first measurement configuration (s-MeasureConfig) is configured, the first measurement configuration is used to measure the quality of the serving cell; the first measurement configuration is configured as the first SSB-RSRP, and the second SSB-RSRP of the special cell (sPCell, including PCell and / or PSCell) after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SSB-RSRP; the first measurement configuration is configured as the first CSI-RSRP, and the second CSI-RSRP of the special cell (sPCell, including PCell and / or PSCell) after layer 3 filtering is lower than the first SCI-RSRP.

[0366] For example, if the reporting type associated with the second measurement identifier is periodic or event-triggered, it can be based on Figure 7b , Figure 8b , Figure 8c Each of the illustrated embodiments is used to initiate a measurement or obtain measurement results.

[0367] For example, if the reporting type associated with the second measurement identifier is condition-triggered, and the second measurement identifier is not indicated in the execution condition (the network device is not configured with configuration information containing the second measurement identifier or configuration information for condition reconfiguration), then the measurement corresponding to the second measurement identifier will not be started, or the second measurement result corresponding to the second measurement identifier will not be obtained.

[0368] In summary, the technical solution provided in this embodiment allows the terminal to initiate measurement and obtain the first measurement result corresponding to the first measurement identifier when the reporting type of the first measurement identifier is condition-triggered, the first measurement identifier is indicated by the first execution condition field, and the first measurement identifier is associated with the first configuration identifier; and it can also initiate measurement and obtain the second measurement result corresponding to the second measurement identifier when the reporting type of the second measurement identifier is condition-triggered, the second measurement identifier is indicated by the second execution condition field, and the second execution condition is the execution condition corresponding to the second configuration identifier in the first condition RRC reconfiguration corresponding to the first configuration identifier, thereby improving the measurement efficiency of the terminal and reducing the evaluation latency of CPAC.

[0369] Exemplary embodiments are provided in which a terminal performs a CHO evaluation based on a first measurement result and a CPAC evaluation based on a second measurement result.

[0370] Please refer to Figure 10a This document illustrates a flowchart of a cell measurement method provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment applies the method to... Figure 1 The example shown is a terminal in a communication system. Based on... Figure 5a In the illustrated embodiment, step 210 is followed by steps 220 and 230.

[0371] Step 200: Receive the first message, which is used to configure the first configuration information and the second configuration information.

[0372] Step 210: Obtain the first measurement result corresponding to the first configuration information, and / or obtain the second measurement result corresponding to the second configuration information; wherein the first configuration information is used to carry the mobility configuration of the first candidate cell or cell group, and the second configuration information is used to carry the mobility configuration of the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0373] Step 220: If the first measurement result meets the first execution condition, trigger CHO to determine the first candidate cell or cell group corresponding to the first measurement result.

[0374] For example, the terminal obtains the first execution condition based on the first measurement identifier in the first configuration information, and determines whether the first measurement result meets the first execution condition. If it does, the CHO is triggered to determine access to the first candidate cell or cell group (PCell or MCG). If it does not meet the condition, the CHO is not triggered. The terminal may continue to determine whether the second measurement result meets the second execution condition, or it may choose not to determine whether the second measurement result meets the second execution condition.

[0375] In one optional embodiment, the second candidate cell or cell group is the PSCell or SCG corresponding to the first candidate cell or cell group. In this case, if the terminal has not accessed the first candidate cell or cell group, the terminal will not access the second candidate cell or cell group first. That is, if the terminal determines not to access the first candidate cell or cell group, even if the second measurement result meets the second execution condition, the terminal will not access the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0376] For example, when the number of first measurement identifiers in the first configuration information is n, the number of measurement results included in the first measurement result is also n. The terminal obtains the n measurement results corresponding to the n first measurement identifiers, and the n execution conditions corresponding to the n first measurement identifiers; when each of the n measurement results satisfies its corresponding execution condition (the i-th measurement result corresponding to the i-th first measurement identifier satisfies the i-th execution condition corresponding to the i-th first measurement identifier), it is determined that the first measurement result satisfies the first execution condition, and the configuration information of the first candidate cell or cell group corresponding to the first configuration identifier is applied to access the first candidate cell or cell group, where n is a positive integer and i is a positive integer not greater than n.

[0377] For example, if one of the multiple measurement results does not meet the corresponding execution condition, then it is determined that the first measurement result does not meet the first execution condition, and the CHO will not be triggered.

[0378] For example, the first configuration information includes three first measurement identifiers: first measurement identifier a, first measurement identifier b, and first measurement identifier c. First measurement identifier a corresponds to measurement result a and execution condition a, first measurement identifier b corresponds to measurement result b and execution condition b, and first measurement identifier c corresponds to measurement result c and execution condition c. In this case, the first measurement result includes measurement result a, measurement result b, and measurement result c, and the first execution condition includes execution condition a, execution condition b, and execution condition c. Then: when measurement result a satisfies execution condition a, measurement result b satisfies execution condition b, and measurement result c satisfies execution condition c, the first measurement result is determined to satisfy the first execution condition. When measurement result a does not satisfy execution condition a, or measurement result b does not satisfy execution condition b, or measurement result c does not satisfy execution condition c, the first measurement result is determined to not satisfy the first execution condition.

[0379] For example, if the first measurement result meets the first execution condition, an access request for the first candidate cell or cell group is sent according to the configuration information of the first candidate cell or cell group.

[0380] Step 230: If the second measurement result meets the second execution condition, trigger CPC or CPA to determine the access to the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0381] For example, the terminal obtains the second execution condition based on the second measurement identifier in the second configuration information, and determines whether the second measurement result meets the second execution condition. If it does, CPC or CPA is triggered to determine access to the second candidate cell or cell group (PSCell or SCG); if it does not meet the condition, CPC or CPA will not be triggered.

[0382] For example, when the number of second measurement identifiers in the second configuration information is n, the number of measurement results included in the second measurement result is also n. The terminal obtains the n measurement results corresponding to the n second measurement identifiers, and the n execution conditions corresponding to the n second measurement identifiers; when each of the n measurement results satisfies its corresponding execution condition (the i-th measurement result corresponding to the i-th second measurement identifier satisfies the i-th execution condition corresponding to the i-th second measurement identifier), it is determined that the second measurement result satisfies the second execution condition, and the configuration information of the second candidate cell or cell group corresponding to the second configuration identifier is applied to access the second candidate cell or cell group, where n is a positive integer and i is a positive integer not greater than n.

[0383] For example, if one of the multiple measurement results does not meet the corresponding execution condition, then the second measurement result is determined to not meet the second execution condition, and CAPC will not be triggered.

[0384] For example, the second configuration information includes three second measurement identifiers: second measurement identifier d, second measurement identifier e, and second measurement identifier f. Second measurement identifier d corresponds to measurement result d and execution condition d, second measurement identifier e corresponds to measurement result e and execution condition e, and second measurement identifier f corresponds to measurement result f and execution condition f. In this case, the second measurement result includes measurement result d, measurement result e, and measurement result f, and the second execution condition includes execution condition d, execution condition e, and execution condition f. Then: when measurement result d satisfies execution condition d, measurement result e satisfies execution condition e, and measurement result f satisfies execution condition f, the second measurement result is determined to satisfy the second execution condition. When measurement result d does not satisfy execution condition d, or measurement result e does not satisfy execution condition e, or measurement result f does not satisfy execution condition f, the second measurement result is determined to not satisfy the second execution condition.

[0385] In an optional embodiment, it is first determined whether the first measurement result meets the first execution condition, and then CHO is triggered. Then, if the first measurement result meets the first execution condition, it is further determined whether the second measurement result meets the second execution condition. If it does, CPA or CPC is triggered; if it does not, CPA or CPC is not triggered.

[0386] For example, in response to the first measurement result of the first candidate cell or cell group indicated in the first RRCReconfiguration in the first condRRCReconfig satisfying the first execution condition, the UE applies the first condRRCReconfig; the UE evaluates whether the second measurement result of the second candidate cell or cell group indicated in the second RRCReconfiguration in the second condRRCReconfig satisfies the second execution condition based on the second measurement result of the second measurement identifier indicated by the second execution condition, and in response to satisfying the second execution condition, the UE applies the second condRRCReconfig.

[0387] In this process, the UE applies the first condRRCReconfig, which means the UE triggers CHO to access the candidate PCell or MCG (the first candidate cell or cell group). In this process, the UE applies the second condRRCReconfig, which means the UE triggers CPA or CPC to access the candidate PSCell or SCG (the second candidate cell or cell group). The first candidate cell or cell group is associated with the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0388] For example, when the terminal has already connected to a PSCell or SCG, the terminal triggers CPC to switch the connected PSCell or SCG; when the terminal has not yet connected to a PSCell or SCG, the terminal triggers CPA to connect to the second candidate PSCell or SCG.

[0389] For example, if the first measurement result satisfies the first execution condition and the second measurement result satisfies the second execution condition, an access request for the second candidate cell or cell group is sent according to the configuration information of the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0390] In summary, the technical solution provided in this embodiment allows the terminal to first determine whether the first measurement result meets the first execution condition after obtaining the first measurement result and the second measurement result based on the first measurement identifier and the second measurement identifier. If the first measurement result meets the first execution condition, the terminal can access the first candidate cell or cell group. Then, the terminal can determine whether the second measurement result meets the second execution condition. If the second measurement result meets the second execution condition, the terminal can access the second candidate cell or cell group, thereby improving the efficiency of cell access or cell handover for the terminal.

[0391] Exemplary embodiments are provided, in which another terminal performs CHO evaluation based on a first measurement result and CPAC evaluation based on a second measurement result.

[0392] Please refer to Figure 10b This document illustrates a flowchart of a cell measurement method provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment applies the method to... Figure 1 The example shown is a terminal in a communication system. Based on... Figure 5a In the illustrated embodiment, step 210 is followed by steps 221 and 231.

[0393] Step 200: Receive the first message, which is used to configure the first configuration information and the second configuration information.

[0394] Step 210: Obtain the first measurement result corresponding to the first configuration information, and / or obtain the second measurement result corresponding to the second configuration information; wherein the first configuration information is used to carry the mobility configuration of the first candidate cell or cell group, and the second configuration information is used to carry the mobility configuration of the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0395] Step 221: If the second measurement result meets the second execution condition, trigger CPC or CPA to determine the access to the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0396] For example, based on Figure 10a According to the relevant description of the embodiment shown, the terminal may first determine whether the second measurement result meets the second execution condition, and then execute step 231 to determine whether the first measurement result meets the first execution condition.

[0397] For example, the order in which the terminal judges whether two measurement results meet the execution conditions can be arbitrary, but the order in which cell access is performed based on the judgment results is certain: the first candidate cell or cell group must be accessed before the second candidate cell or cell group; if the first candidate cell or cell group is not accessed, the second candidate cell or cell group will definitely not be accessed; if the first candidate cell or cell group is accessed, the second candidate cell or cell group may not be accessed.

[0398] Step 231: If the first measurement result meets the first execution condition, trigger CHO to determine the first candidate cell or cell group corresponding to the first measurement result.

[0399] For example, Figure 10a The descriptions in the illustrated embodiments also apply to... Figure 10b The illustrated embodiment.

[0400] For example, if the first measurement result satisfies the first execution condition and the second measurement result satisfies the second execution condition, the terminal may first access the first candidate cell or cell group and then access the second candidate cell or cell group; or, the terminal may access the first candidate cell or cell group but not the second candidate cell or cell group; or, the terminal may not access either the first candidate cell or cell group or the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0401] For example, if the first measurement result satisfies the first execution condition and the second measurement result does not satisfy the second execution condition, the terminal may access the first candidate cell or cell group but not the second candidate cell or cell group; or, the terminal may not access the first candidate cell or cell group or the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0402] For example, if the first measurement result does not meet the first execution condition and the second measurement result does not meet the second execution condition, the terminal will not access the first candidate cell or cell group, nor will it access the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0403] For example, if the first measurement result does not meet the first execution condition, but the second measurement result meets the second execution condition, the terminal will not access the first candidate cell or cell group, nor will it access the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0404] In summary, the technical solution provided in this embodiment allows the terminal to first determine whether the second measurement result meets the second execution condition after obtaining the first measurement result and the second measurement result based on the first measurement identifier and the second measurement identifier. Then, it can determine whether the first measurement result meets the first execution condition. Subsequently, it can access the first candidate cell or cell group or the second candidate cell or cell group based on the two judgment results, thereby improving the terminal's cell access or cell handover efficiency.

[0405] Exemplary embodiments are provided for a terminal to perform CHO evaluation based on a first measurement result and CPAC evaluation based on a second measurement result.

[0406] Please refer to Figure 11 This document illustrates a flowchart of a cell measurement method provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment applies the method to... Figure 1 The example shown is a terminal in a communication system. Based on... Figure 5a In the illustrated embodiment, step 210 is followed by step 240.

[0407] Step 210: If the first configuration information includes the second configuration information, obtain the first measurement result corresponding to the first measurement identifier, and / or obtain the second measurement result corresponding to the second measurement identifier; wherein the first configuration information carries the first measurement identifier and the second configuration information carries the second measurement identifier.

[0408] Step 240: If the first measurement result meets the first execution condition and the second measurement result meets the second execution condition, trigger CHO to access the first candidate cell or cell group corresponding to the first measurement result, and trigger CPC or CPA to access the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0409] For example, the terminal determines whether the first measurement result meets the first execution condition, and determines whether the second measurement result meets the second execution condition. If both conditions are met, the terminal applies the configuration information of the first candidate cell or cell group (PCell or MCG) and the second candidate cell or cell group (PCell or MCG) to trigger CHO and CAPC, and access the first candidate cell or cell group and the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0410] For example, if the terminal does not trigger CHO and CPAC when the first measurement result meets the first execution condition and the second measurement result does not meet the second execution condition, it will not access the first candidate cell or cell group, nor will it access the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0411] For example, if the terminal does not trigger CHO and CPAC when the first measurement result does not meet the first execution condition and the second measurement result meets the second execution condition, it will not access the first candidate cell or cell group, nor will it access the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0412] For example, if the terminal does not trigger CHO and CPAC when the first measurement result does not meet the first execution condition and the second measurement result does not meet the second execution condition, it will not access the first candidate cell or cell group, nor will it access the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0413] For example, when the number of first measurement identifiers in the first configuration information is n, obtain the n first measurement results corresponding to the n first measurement identifiers, and the n execution conditions corresponding to the n first measurement identifiers; when each of the n first measurement results satisfies its corresponding execution condition (the i-th first measurement result corresponding to the i-th first measurement identifier satisfies the i-th execution condition corresponding to the i-th first measurement identifier), determine that the first measurement result satisfies the first execution condition, where n is a positive integer and i is a positive integer not greater than n.

[0414] For example, if one of the multiple first measurement results does not meet the corresponding execution condition, then it is determined that the first measurement result does not meet the first execution condition.

[0415] For example, when the number of second measurement identifiers in the second configuration information is n, obtain the n second measurement results corresponding to the n second measurement identifiers, and the n execution conditions corresponding to the n second measurement identifiers; when each of the n second measurement results satisfies its corresponding execution condition (the i-th measurement result corresponding to the i-th second measurement identifier satisfies the i-th execution condition corresponding to the i-th second measurement identifier), determine that the second measurement result satisfies the second execution condition, where n is a positive integer and i is a positive integer not greater than n.

[0416] For example, if one of the multiple second measurement results does not meet the corresponding execution condition, then it is determined that the second measurement result does not meet the second execution condition.

[0417] In an optional embodiment, the terminal simultaneously determines whether the first measurement result and the second measurement result meet the execution conditions. Only if both measurement results meet the execution conditions will the terminal simultaneously access the associated first candidate cell or cell group and the second candidate cell or cell group. If either measurement result does not meet the execution conditions, the terminal will not access the first candidate cell or cell group or the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0418] For example, in response to the first cell or the measurement result of the first cell indicated in the first RRCReconfiguration in the first condRRCReconfig satisfying the first execution condition and the second cell or the measurement result of the second cell indicated in the second RRCReconfiguration in the second condRRCReconfig satisfying the second execution condition, the UE applies the first condRRCReconfig and the second condRRCReconfig.

[0419] In this process, the UE applies the first condRRCReconfig, which triggers CHO for the UE to access the candidate PCell or MCG (the first candidate cell or cell group). In this process, the UE applies the second condRRCReconfig, which triggers CPA or CPC for the UE to access the candidate PSCell or SCG (the second candidate cell or cell group). The first candidate cell or cell group is associated with the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0420] For example, if the first measurement result satisfies the first execution condition and the second measurement result satisfies the second execution condition, an access request for the first candidate cell or cell group is sent according to the configuration information of the first candidate cell or cell group, and an access request for the second candidate cell or cell group is sent according to the configuration information of the second candidate cell or cell group.

[0421] In summary, the technical solution provided in this embodiment allows the terminal to simultaneously determine whether the first measurement result meets the first execution condition and whether the second measurement result meets the second execution condition after obtaining the first measurement result and the second measurement result according to the first measurement identifier and the second measurement identifier. If they meet the conditions, the terminal can access the first candidate cell or cell group and the second candidate cell or cell group. If one measurement result does not meet the corresponding execution condition, the terminal will not access the first candidate cell or cell group or the second candidate cell or cell group, thereby improving the efficiency of cell access or cell handover for the terminal.

[0422] Please refer to Figure 12This document illustrates a flowchart of a cell measurement method provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment applies the method to... Figure 1 The example shown is a terminal in a communication system. Based on... Figure 5a In the illustrated embodiment, steps 410 and 420 may be included after step 200 and before step 210.

[0423] Step 410: Verify the integrity of the first RRC reconfiguration message and decode it. Optionally, when the terminal receives the first configuration information, it verifies the integrity of the first RRC reconfiguration message; and / or decodes the first RRC reconfiguration message to obtain the configuration information of the first candidate cell or cell group and the second configuration information. The configuration information of the first candidate cell or cell group and the second configuration information are stored in the variable conditional reconfiguration.

[0424] For example, the integrity check and decoding of the RRCReconfiguration received as part of the ConditionalReconfiguration are performed upon receiving this message. That is, when the UE receives the first configuration information, the UE needs to decode the configuration information of the candidate cell or cell group contained therein (i.e., the first RRCReconfiguration) to determine whether the candidate target cell configuration corresponding to the first conditional reconfiguration configuration information contains the second conditional reconfiguration configuration information, and the execution conditions corresponding to the second conditional reconfiguration configuration information. Subsequently, measurement and evaluation can be initiated.

[0425] Step 420: Verify the completeness of the second RRC reconfiguration message and decode it.

[0426] Optionally, when the terminal receives the first configuration information, it verifies the integrity of the second RRC reconfiguration message and decodes it; or, when the second measurement result satisfies the second execution condition, it verifies the integrity of the second RRC reconfiguration message and decodes it.

[0427] For example, the integrity check and decoding of the second RRC Reconfiguration message included in the second configuration information can be performed upon receiving this message, or it can be performed when the second execution condition is met and SCG mobility is executed, depending on the UE implementation. For instance, when the second measurement result meets the second execution condition, the integrity of the second RRC reconfiguration message is verified and decoded, and CPAC is executed based on the configuration information of the second candidate cell or cell group obtained from the decoding.

[0428] In summary, the technical solution provided in this embodiment allows the terminal to verify and decode the integrity of the first and second RRC reconfiguration messages upon receiving the first configuration information; the terminal can also verify and decode the integrity of the second RRC reconfiguration message when the second measurement result meets the second execution condition.

[0429] In an optional embodiment, the terminal receives first conditional reconfiguration information (first configuration information) sent by the network side. This first conditional reconfiguration information is used to configure the mobility of the MCG and the mobility of the SCG, wherein the SCG is associated with the MCG. For example, it may be configuration information used to configure CHO and CPA or CPC.

[0430] In an optional embodiment, the first conditional reconfiguration configuration information includes one or more second conditional reconfiguration configuration information (second configuration information), wherein the second conditional reconfiguration configuration information is used to configure the mobility of the SCG.

[0431] In an optional embodiment, the first conditional reconfiguration information includes a first configuration identifier (condReconfigId), a first execution condition (condExecutionCond) corresponding to the MCG mobility (CHO), and a first RRCReconfiguration message (carried in the first condRRCReconfig field) that needs to be applied when the first execution condition is met.
