[0044] Figure 1a A flow chart of a measurement indication method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, and the method is executed by a UE, such as Figure 1a As shown, the measurement indication method may include the following steps:

[0045] Step 101a: Acquire RRM requirement enhancement indication information sent by the network side device, where the RRM requirement enhancement indication information is used to indicate that the UE needs to meet enhanced RRM requirements during the RRM measurement process.

[0046] It should be noted that, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, UE may refer to a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user. The terminal device may communicate with one or more core networks via RAN (Radio Access Network), and the UE may be an IoT terminal, such as a sensor device, a mobile phone (or a "cellular" phone), and a computer with an IoT terminal, for example, a fixed, portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-built-in, or vehicle-mounted device. For example, a station (STA), a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, an access point, a remote terminal, an access terminal, a user terminal, or a user agent. Alternatively, the UE may also be a device of an unmanned aerial vehicle.

Alternatively, the UE may also be a roadside device, for example, a street lamp, a signal lamp, or other roadside device with wireless communication function.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the enhanced RRM requirements are stricter than the unenhanced RRM requirements, wherein the "stricter than" is mainly reflected in: the time required to complete an RRM measurement process using the enhanced RRM requirements is less than the time required to complete an RRM measurement process using the unenhanced measurement requirements.

[0048] And, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned enhanced RRM requirements may include at least one of the following:

[0049] Enhanced mobility requirements for non-connected UEs;

[0050] Enhanced mobility requirements for connected UEs;

[0051] Enhanced cell activation delay requirements;

[0052] Enhanced cell deactivation delay requirements;

[0053] Enhanced beam management requirements.

[0054] Among them, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned mobility requirements in a non-connected state UE (for example, an idle state and / or an inactive state) are mainly used for: the non-connected state UE performs RRM measurements on neighboring cells based on the mobility requirements in the non-connected state UE, so that the UE autonomously performs cell selection or cell reselection based on the measurement results.

[0055] And, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the mobility requirements under the non-connected UE may at least include identification requirements for cell identification and measurement requirements for cell measurement. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned cell identification may include: identifying the adjacent cell to obtain the cell identification code of the adjacent cell; the above-mentioned cell measurement may specifically include: after identifying the adjacent cell, performing cell measurement on the identified cell. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned measurement requirements for cell measurement may include: performing RRM measurement on the same-frequency cell, performing RRM measurement on the different-frequency cell, and performing RRM measurement on the different-system cell.

[0056] Further, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the enhanced mobility requirement under the non-connected UE in the embodiment of the present disclosure is stricter than the unenhanced mobility requirement under the non-connected UE, wherein the "stricter than" is mainly reflected in: the time required for the non-connected UE to complete an RRM measurement process based on the enhanced mobility requirement under the non-connected UE is less than the time required for it to complete an RRM measurement process based on the unenhanced mobility requirement under the non-connected UE.

[0057] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, assuming that the time for a non-connected UE to complete an RRM measurement process based on the unenhanced mobility requirement of the non-connected UE is 200s, then the time for the non-connected UE to complete an RRM measurement process based on the enhanced mobility requirement of the non-connected UE should be less than 200s, for example, 100s.

[0058] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the mobility requirements under the above-mentioned connected UE are mainly used for: the connected UE performs RRM measurements on neighboring cells based on the mobility requirements under the connected UE, and reports the RRM measurement results to the network side device to assist the network side device in making decisions on switching cells.

[0059] In one implementation of the present disclosure, the mobility requirements under the connected UE may include at least identification requirements for cell identification and measurement requirements for cell measurement. For a detailed introduction to the identification requirements for cell identification and the measurement requirements for cell measurement in the mobility requirements under the connected UE, reference may be made to the relevant introduction to the identification requirements for cell identification and the measurement requirements for cell measurement in the mobility requirements under the non-connected UE, and the embodiments of the present disclosure will not be described in detail here.

[0060] Further, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the enhanced mobility requirement under the connected UE in the embodiment of the present disclosure is stricter than the unenhanced mobility requirement under the connected UE, wherein the "stricter than" is mainly reflected in: the time required for the connected UE to complete an RRM measurement process based on the enhanced mobility requirement under the connected UE is less than the time required for it to complete an RRM measurement process based on the unenhanced mobility requirement under the connected UE.

[0061] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, assuming that the time for a connected UE to complete an RRM measurement process based on the unenhanced mobility requirements of the connected UE is 200s, then the time for a connected UE to complete an RRM measurement process based on the enhanced mobility requirements of the connected UE should be less than 200s, for example, 100s.

[0062] And, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned cell activation delay requirement is specifically used for: after the UE receives the activation signaling sent by the network device, the UE completes the cell activation based on the cell activation delay requirement. Wherein, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned cell activation delay requirement can be, for example, the SCell (Secondary Cell) cell activation delay requirement. And, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the enhanced cell activation delay requirement is stricter than the unenhanced cell activation delay requirement, wherein the "stricter than" is mainly reflected in: the time required for the UE to complete the cell activation based on the enhanced cell activation delay requirement is less than the time required to complete the cell activation based on the unenhanced cell activation delay requirement.

[0063] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, assuming that the time for the UE to complete cell activation based on the non-enhanced cell activation delay requirement is 50 seconds, the time for the UE to complete cell activation based on the enhanced cell activation delay requirement should be less than 50 seconds, for example, it may be 25 seconds.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned cell deactivation delay requirement is specifically used for: after the UE receives the deactivation signaling sent by the network device, the cell deactivation is completed based on the cell deactivation delay requirement. Wherein, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned cell deactivation delay requirement may be, for example, an SCell cell deactivation delay requirement. And, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the enhanced cell deactivation delay requirement is stricter than the unenhanced cell deactivation delay requirement, wherein the "stricter than" is mainly reflected in: the time required for the UE to complete the cell deactivation based on the enhanced cell deactivation delay requirement is less than the time required to complete the cell deactivation based on the unenhanced cell deactivation delay requirement.

[0065] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, assuming that the time for the UE to complete cell deactivation based on the non-enhanced cell deactivation delay requirement is 50s, the time for the UE to complete cell deactivation based on the enhanced cell deactivation delay requirement should be less than 50s, for example, it may be 25s.

[0066] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned beam management requirements are mainly used for: the UE measures the beam based on the beam management requirements, and evaluates whether the beam is faulty or good based on the measurement results. Among them, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the beam management requirements may include beam measurement requirements and beam evaluation requirements. Specifically, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the beam management requirements may include FR2 L1-RSRP (Level 1-Reference Signal Receiving Power) measurement requirements and FR2 L1-RSRP evaluation requirements; or, may include BFD (beam failure detection) measurement requirements and BFD evaluation requirements, or may include CBD (Candidate beam detection) measurement and CBD evaluation requirements.

[0067] Among them, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned BFD measurement requirement is mainly that the UE measures the beam failure detection reference signal configured by the network side device within the evaluation period based on the evaluation period, and the above-mentioned BFD evaluation requirement is mainly that the UE evaluates whether a beam failure occurs based on the BFD measurement result.

[0068] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned CBD measurement requirement is mainly that the UE measures the candidate beam within the evaluation period based on the evaluation period, and the above-mentioned CBD evaluation requirement is mainly that the UE evaluates whether the candidate beam is good based on the CBD measurement result.

[0069] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned L1-RSRP measurement requirement mainly requires that the UE periodically measures the L1-RSRP based on the measurement period, and the above-mentioned L1-RSRP evaluation amount requirement mainly requires that the UE periodically evaluates the L1-RSRP based on the evaluation period, and reports the evaluation result to the network side device.

[0070] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the enhanced beam management requirements in the embodiment of the present disclosure are stricter than the unenhanced beam management requirements, wherein the "stricter than" is mainly reflected in: the time required to complete a beam measurement and evaluation process based on the enhanced beam management requirements is shorter than the time required to complete a beam measurement and evaluation process based on the unenhanced beam management requirements.

[0071] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, assuming that the time required for the UE to complete a beam measurement and evaluation process based on unenhanced beam management requirements is 50s, then the time required for the UE to complete a beam measurement and evaluation process based on enhanced beam management requirements should be less than 50s, for example, it may be 25s.

[0072] In addition, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned method for obtaining the RRM requirement enhancement indication information sent by the network side device may include: when the UE is in a non-connected state, obtaining the RRM requirement enhancement indication information sent by the network side device through a SIB (System Information Block) message.

[0073] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for obtaining RRM requirement enhancement indication information sent by a network side device may include: when the UE is in a connected state, obtaining the RRM requirement enhancement indication information sent by the network side device through RRC signaling.

[0074] And, it should be noted that, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, after the UE obtains the RRM requirement enhancement indication information sent by the network side device, it can subsequently perform RRM measurement using the enhanced RRM requirement according to the RRM requirement enhancement indication information.

[0075] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned enhanced RRM requirements and the unenhanced RRM requirements are both pre-agreed based on the protocol. Also, the format of the enhanced RRM requirements is the same as the format of the unenhanced RRM requirements, but the numerical value corresponding to the enhanced RRM requirements is stricter than the numerical value corresponding to the unenhanced RRM requirements. Among them, the meaning of "stricter than" is described in the above embodiment, and the embodiment of the present disclosure will not be elaborated here.

[0076] The format of the unenhanced RRM requirement is described in detail below. The format of the enhanced RRM requirement is similar to the format of the unenhanced RRM requirement. Table 1 is a format of the unenhanced RRM requirement provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0077] Table 1

[0078]

[0079]

[0080] As shown in Table 1, for the RRM requirements, the UE side corresponds to different DRX cycle lengths, and stores different proportional factors and detection periods T. detect,NR_Intra , measurement period T measure,NR_Intra , and the evaluation period T evaluate,NR_Intra Based on this, the UE can determine the corresponding T based on the DRX cycle length and the proportional factor. detect,NR_Intra , T measure,NR_Intra 、T evaluate,NR_Intra The value of T detect,NR_Intra 、T measure,NR_Intra 、T evaluate,NR_Intra to perform RRM measurements.

[0081] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, it is assumed that the current DRX cycle length is 1.28 and the current system is FR2, so the scaling factor can be determined to be 4. Based on this, T detect,NR_Intra =32×N1=32×4=128s, T measure,NR_Intra =1.28×N1=1.28×4=5.12s, T evaluate,NR_Intra= 6.4×N1=6.4×4=25.6s. Then, the UE can detect,NR_Intra 、T measure,NR_Intra 、T evaluate,NR_Intra to perform RRM measurements.

[0082] In summary, in the measurement indication method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE can obtain the RRM requirement enhancement indication information sent by the network side device, and the RRM requirement enhancement indication information is used to indicate that the UE needs to meet the enhanced RRM requirements during the RRM measurement process. It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE uses the enhanced RRM requirements to perform RRM measurements based on the RRM requirement enhancement indication information, so that the time required for the UE to complete an RRM measurement process is shorter, and then the time required for the UE's cell reselection / switching process is shorter, thereby ensuring the mobility management performance of the UE.

[0084] Step 101b: When the UE is in a non-connected state, obtain RRM requirement enhancement indication information sent by the network side device through an SIB message, where the RRM requirement enhancement indication information is used to indicate that the UE needs to meet enhanced RRM requirements during the RRM measurement process.

[0085] Among them, for the detailed introduction of the RRM requirement enhancement indication information, please refer to the relevant introduction in the above embodiment, and the embodiment of the present disclosure will not be repeated here.

[0086] In summary, in the measurement indication method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE can obtain the RRM requirement enhancement indication information sent by the network side device, and the RRM requirement enhancement indication information is used to indicate that the UE needs to meet the enhanced RRM requirements during the RRM measurement process. It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE uses the enhanced RRM requirements to perform RRM measurements based on the RRM requirement enhancement indication information, so that the time required for the UE to complete an RRM measurement process is shorter, and then the time required for the UE's cell reselection / switching process is shorter, thereby ensuring the mobility management performance of the UE.

[0087] Figure 1c A flow chart of another measurement indication method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is provided. The method is executed by a UE. As shown in FIG1C , the measurement indication method may include the following steps:

[0088] Step 101c: When the UE is in a connected state, obtain RRM requirement enhancement indication information sent by the network side device through RRC signaling, where the RRM requirement enhancement indication information is used to indicate that the UE needs to meet enhanced RRM requirements during the RRM measurement process.

[0089] Among them, for the detailed introduction of the RRM requirement enhancement indication information, please refer to the relevant introduction in the above embodiment, and the embodiment of the present disclosure will not be repeated here.

[0090] In summary, in the measurement indication method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE can obtain the RRM requirement enhancement indication information sent by the network side device, and the RRM requirement enhancement indication information is used to indicate that the UE needs to meet the enhanced RRM requirements during the RRM measurement process. It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE uses the enhanced RRM requirements to perform RRM measurements based on the RRM requirement enhancement indication information, so that the time required for the UE to complete an RRM measurement process is shorter, and then the time required for the UE's cell reselection / switching process is shorter, thereby ensuring the mobility management performance of the UE.

[0091] Figure 2 A flow chart of another measurement indication method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method is executed by a UE, such as Figure 2 As shown, the measurement indication method may include the following steps:

[0092] Step 201: Send capability information to a network-side device.

[0093] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the capability information may be used to indicate whether the UE supports enhanced RRM requirements, that is, to indicate whether the UE supports at least one of enhanced mobility requirements for non-connected UEs, enhanced mobility requirements for connected UEs, enhanced cell activation delay requirements, enhanced cell deactivation delay requirements, and enhanced beam management requirements.

[0094] And, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for the UE to send capability information to the network side device may include at least one of the following:

[0095] Send capability information to the network side device through IE MeasAndMobParameters (information element measurement and mobility parameter capability indication information);

[0096] The capability information is sent to the network side device through IE MeasAndMobParametersMRDC (measurement and mobility parameter capability indication information in the information element scenario).

[0097] Step 202: When the capability information indicates that the UE supports enhanced RRM requirements, obtain RRM requirement enhancement indication information sent by the network side device.

[0098] Among them, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, after receiving the capability information sent by the UE, the network side device needs to determine whether the UE supports the enhanced RRM requirement according to the capability information of the UE.

[0099] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the capability information may be an indication value, and different indication values ​​indicate different meanings. When the capability information is a first indication value (e.g., 1), the capability information indicates that the UE supports enhanced RRM requirements; when the capability information is a second indication value (e.g., 2), the capability information indicates that the UE does not support enhanced RRM requirements.

[0100] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the capability information indicates that the UE supports enhanced RRM requirements, the network side device sends RRM requirement enhancement indication information to the UE so that the UE can perform RRM measurements using the enhanced RRM requirements according to the RRM requirement enhancement indication information.

[0101] Also, for a detailed introduction on obtaining the RRM requirement enhancement indication information sent by the network side device, reference may be made to the relevant introduction in the above embodiment, and the embodiments of the present disclosure will not be elaborated here.

[0102] In summary, in the measurement indication method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE can obtain the RRM requirement enhancement indication information sent by the network side device, and the RRM requirement enhancement indication information is used to indicate that the UE needs to meet the enhanced RRM requirements during the RRM measurement process. It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE uses the enhanced RRM requirements to perform RRM measurements based on the RRM requirement enhancement indication information, so that the time required for the UE to complete an RRM measurement process is shorter, and then the time required for the UE's cell reselection / switching process is shorter, thereby ensuring the mobility management performance of the UE.

[0103] Figure 3 A flow chart of another measurement indication method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, and the method is executed by a UE, such as Figure 3 As shown, the measurement indication method may include the following steps:

[0104] Step 301: Acquire RRM requirement enhancement indication information sent by a network side device, where the RRM requirement enhancement indication information is used to indicate that the UE needs to meet enhanced RRM requirements during the RRM measurement process.

[0105] Among them, the detailed description of step 301 can be referred to the description of the above embodiment, and the embodiment of the present disclosure will not be repeated here.

[0116] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, when a UE needs to activate a cell after receiving activation signaling sent by a network device, the UE may complete the cell activation based on an enhanced cell activation delay requirement.
