[0091] In some embodiments, the terminal can record measurement results of the terminal measuring a cell in the RLF report, but the measurement results do not include layer 1 or layer 2 triggered mobility (L1 / L2-Triggered Mobility, LTM) related information. For some scenarios, the RLF report without recording the LTM information is insufficient for the network device to understand the network environment of the terminal, and it is difficult to ensure that the network device appropriately understands the network environment of the terminal.

[0092] For example, in an LTM scenario, the network device can configure LTM configuration information for the terminal, and the LTM configuration information includes an LTM candidate cell (which can be one cell or a cell group composed of multiple cells) and related information for communication in the candidate cell.

[0093] The terminal can perform LTM cell switching. For example, the network device can instruct the terminal to change a cell through layer 1 (for example, through downlink control information (DCI)) or layer 2 (for example, through a media access control layer control element (MAC CE)), such as instructing the terminal to change the cell from candidate cell #1 to candidate cell #2.

[0094] Since the related information for communication in the candidate cell is pre-configured to the terminal by the network device through LTM configuration, after the terminal switches to the candidate cell #2, the network device does not have to configure the related information for communication in the candidate cell #2 to the terminal, which is beneficial for the terminal to complete cell switching and communication as soon as possible.

[0095] However, L3 triggered mobility cell switching, such as traditional handover (HO) and conditional handover (CHO), is triggered through radio resource control (RRC) signaling, which is relatively time-consuming compared to LTM cell switching and is not conducive to the terminal to complete cell switching and communication as soon as possible.

[0096] In the related art, the terminal can perform LTM cell switching based on the LTM configuration information configured by the network device and the switching command sent by the network device, however, the RLF report in the related art does not contain LTM information, so it cannot be accurately used by the network device to determine the LTM situation of the terminal, therefore, it is necessary to improve the information recorded by the terminal when the radio link failure or the switching failure occurs.

[0097] Figure 2 is an interactive schematic diagram of an information recording method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0098] As Figure 2 shown, the information recording method comprises the following steps:

[0099] In step S201, the terminal can record the layer 1 or layer 2 triggered mobility LTM information.

[0100] In some embodiments, the terminal records the LTM information in response to the occurrence of the radio link failure or the switching failure.

[0101] For example, the switching failure comprises at least one of the following: conventional switching failure, conditional handover (CHO) failure, LTM switching failure, DAPS (Dual Active Protocol Stack) switching.

[0102] In some embodiments, the terminal can record the LTM information in the report variable, or can record it in other ways, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0103] In step S202, the terminal can send the LTM information to the network device.

[0104] In some embodiments, the terminal can send the LTM information to the network device through the RLF report, or can send the LTM information to the network device in other ways.

[0105] In some embodiments, the terminal can send the LTM information to the network device only after receiving the request information sent by the network device.

[0106] The request information sent by the network device can be multiplexed with conventional request information (such as a request for obtaining the RLF report), or the request information can be newly defined request information, and the newly defined request information can be specifically used to request the terminal to send the LTM information.

[0107] In some embodiments, the terminal sends the LTM information to the network device, which can also be performed without being based on the request information of the network device, for example, the terminal can determine a time t1 of recording the LTM information, and when no request information of the network device is received within a time range of t1 for a duration T1, the terminal can automatically send (for example, on a pre-configured resource) the LTM information to the network device, thereby avoiding the LTM information of the terminal being deleted during the LTM information storage time process, and causing the waste of the measurement operation overhead.

[0108] In embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal can record the LTM information in the case of occurrence of the radio link failure or the handover failure, so that the LTM information can be subsequently sent to the network device as needed or upon request of the network device. Relative to the terminal recording the RLF or the handover failure related information in the case of occurrence of the radio link failure or the handover failure, the LTM information can be used by the network device to accurately determine the LTM related information of the terminal, thereby facilitating the network device to accurately perform the operation of whether to perform the LTM, whether to adjust the LTM configuration, and the like in a timely manner.

[0109] In some embodiments, the LTM information includes at least one of the following:

[0110] a cell identifier based on LTM recovery;

[0111] an LTM measurement result of a neighbor cell;

[0112] LTM information related to the radio link failure;

[0113] LTM information related to the handover failure;

[0114] a reestablishment cell identifier.

[0115] In some embodiments, the LTM information can include a cell identifier based on LTM recovery.

[0116] For example, the terminal can perform cell selection in the case of occurrence of the RLF or the handover failure in a current cell (for example, a serving cell).

[0117] When the LTM configuration of the terminal is available, the selected cell is an LTM candidate cell in the LTM configuration, and the terminal is allowed to perform LTM based recovery, the terminal can perform recovery in the selected LTM candidate cell, for example, perform communication in the selected LTM candidate cell based on the related information for communication in the candidate cell. In this case, the terminal can record an identifier of the selected LTM candidate cell as a cell identifier based on LTM recovery.

[0118] When the LTM configuration of the terminal is not available, or the selected cell is not an LTM candidate cell in the LTM configuration, or the terminal is not allowed to perform LTM-based recovery, the terminal can perform radio resource control reestablishment in the selected cell. In this case, the terminal can not necessarily record the cell identity of the LTM-based recovery.

[0119] In some embodiments, the LTM information can include LTM measurement results of the neighbor cells.

[0120] For example, the terminal can perform measurement on the neighbor cells to obtain the LTM measurement results of the neighbor cells in the case that the current cell (e.g., the serving cell) where the terminal is located experiences RLF or handover failure, and then the terminal can record the LTM measurement results of the neighbor cells as one of the LTM information.

[0121] In some embodiments, when the RLF occurs, the LTM cell switch configuration in the LTM configuration variable (VarLTM-Config) is available, or when the handover fails or succeeds, the last executed radio resource control reconfiguration (RRCReconfiguration) message including reconfiguration with synchronization (reconfigurationWithSync) is about LTM cell switch, the terminal can use a first measurement result list (e.g., measResultListNR-r18) to record the LTM measurement results in the first measurement result list, otherwise, the terminal can use a second measurement result list (e.g., measResultListNR-r16) to record the LTM measurement results in the second measurement result list.

[0122] In some embodiments, the terminal can send indication information to the network device, where the indication information is used to indicate whether the neighbor cell is an LTM candidate cell.

[0123] For example, the neighbor cells corresponding to the LTM measurement results recorded by the terminal can only include LTM candidate cells, or can only include non-LTM candidate cells, or can include both LTM candidate cells and non-LTM candidate cells.

[0124] In the case that the neighbor cells corresponding to the LTM measurement results recorded by the terminal can include LTM candidate cells, the terminal can indicate the type of the neighbor cells corresponding to the recorded LTM measurement results, for example, by indication information, so that the network device can determine which LTM measurement results correspond to LTM candidate cells and / or which measurement results correspond to non-LTM candidate cells among the LTM measurement results sent by the terminal.

[0125] In some embodiments, the indication information for indicating whether the neighbor cell is an LTM candidate cell can be explicit indication information.

[0126] For example, the terminal can record LTM measurement results of n neighbor cells, and the indication information can include n bits, the i th bit of the n bits can be used to indicate whether the neighbor cell corresponding to the i th LTM measurement result of the n LTM measurement results is an LTM candidate cell.

[0127] For example, the i th bit value of 0 indicates that the i th cell is not an LTM candidate cell, the i th bit value of 1 indicates that the i th cell is not an LTM candidate cell, or the i th bit value of 1 indicates that the i th cell is not an LTM candidate cell, and the i th bit value of 0 indicates that the i th cell is not an LTM candidate cell.

[0128] For example, in the case where the indication information exists, it can be indicated that the neighbor cells corresponding to the measurement results corresponding to the LTM measurement results include LTM candidate cells or all are LTM candidate cells, and in the case where the indication information exists, it can be indicated that the neighbor cells corresponding to the measurement results corresponding to the LTM measurement results do not include LTM candidate cells.

[0129] In some embodiments, the indication information can be a specific list, and the list includes at least one of the identification information of the neighbor cell and the LTM measurement result, and the list can represent that the neighbor cells corresponding to the LTM measurement results in the list are LTM candidate cells.

[0130] In some embodiments, the LTM measurement result of the neighbor cell can be implemented based on at least one of the following measurement operations: Minimization Drive Test (MDT), Self-Organizing Network (SON).

[0131] In some embodiments, the terminal can measure the beam of the neighbor cell, for example, can measure the Synchronization Signal and PBCH Block (SSB) in the beam, of course, the measured signal can not be limited to measuring the SSB, and other signals such as Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) can also be measured, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0132] In some embodiments, the LTM measurement result includes at least one of the following: L1 measurement result; L3 measurement result.

[0133] For example, when the terminal measures the signal in the cell, the signal can be filtered by the L1 filter first, and the L1 measurement result is obtained. Then the L1 measurement result can be input into the L3 filter, and the L3 filtering result is obtained.

[0134] For example, the related parameters of the L1 filter can be determined based on the terminal implementation specific.

[0135] For example, the related parameters of the L3 filter can be determined based on the parameters configured by the radio resource control (RRC).

[0136] For example, the measurement result corresponding to the neighbor cell can only contain the L1 measurement result; for example, the measurement result corresponding to the neighbor cell can contain the L1 measurement result and the L3 measurement result; for example, the measurement result corresponding to the neighbor cell can only contain the L3 measurement result.

[0137] In some embodiments, in the case that the measurement result corresponding to the neighbor cell only contains the L1 measurement result, the measurement result corresponding to the neighbor cell can be used by the network device to decide at least one of the following: whether to perform LTM, how (e.g., in which time-frequency resource) to perform LTM.

[0138] In some embodiments, in the case that the measurement result corresponding to the neighbor cell contains the L1 measurement result and the L3 measurement result, the measurement result corresponding to the neighbor cell can be used by the network device to decide at least one of the following: whether to perform LTM or perform handover based on the L3 measurement result (e.g., traditional HO, CHO, etc.), how (e.g., in which time-frequency resource) to perform LTM, how (e.g., in which time-frequency resource) to perform handover based on the L3 measurement result.

[0139] In some embodiments, in the case that the measurement result corresponding to the neighbor cell only contains the L3 measurement result, the measurement result corresponding to the neighbor cell can be used by the network device to decide at least one of the following: whether it is reasonable to perform handover based on the L3 measurement result, whether it is still necessary to perform LTM.

[0140] As for whether the measurement result corresponding to the neighbor cell contains the L1 measurement result, or contains the L3 measurement result, or contains the L1 measurement result and the L3 measurement result, it can be indicated by the network device or agreed by the protocol.

[0141] In some embodiments, the L1 measurement result and the L3 measurement result can be measurement results for the same neighbor cell (e.g., the L1 measurement result is an L1 measurement result for neighbor cell #1, and the L3 measurement result is an L3 measurement result for neighbor cell #1).

[0142] In some embodiments, the L1 measurement result and the L3 measurement result can be measurement results for different neighbor cells (e.g., the L1 measurement result is an L1 measurement result for neighbor cell #1, and the L3 measurement result is an L3 measurement result for neighbor cell #2).

[0143] Whether the L1 measurement result and the L3 measurement result are measurement results for the same neighbor cell or measurement results for different neighbor cells, the terminal can determine based on network device indication or protocol agreement, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0144] In some embodiments, since the L1 measurement result includes a physical layer measurement result, when the terminal sends the LTM information to the network device through RRC signaling, the terminal can first perform internal interaction, such as obtaining the L1 measurement result from the physical layer through the RRC layer, and then realizing sending the LTM information containing the L1 measurement result to the network device through RRC signaling.

[0145] In some embodiments, the LTM measurement result of the neighbor cell includes the LTM measurement result of the first cell, wherein the first cell includes at least one of the following:

[0146] A cell in the neighbor cell that satisfies the first condition;

[0147] A cell in the neighbor cell that does not satisfy the first condition.

[0148] For example, the terminal can record the LTM measurement result only for the neighbor cell that satisfies the first condition, or can record the LTM measurement result only for the neighbor cell that does not satisfy the first condition, or can record the LTM measurement result for the neighbor cell that satisfies the first condition and the neighbor cell that does not satisfy the first condition (e.g., all neighbor cells).

[0149] In some embodiments, the first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0150] The relationship between the offset of the LTM measurement result of the first cell relative to the measurement result corresponding to the second cell and the first threshold value satisfies a first predefined relationship, for example, the first relationship includes at least one of the following: the offset is greater than the first threshold value, the offset is less than the first threshold value, and the offset is equal to the first threshold value;

[0151] The relationship between the LTM measurement result of the first cell and the second threshold value satisfies a second predefined relationship, for example, the second predefined relationship includes at least one of the following: the LTM measurement result is greater than the second threshold value, the LTM measurement result is less than the second threshold value, and the LTM measurement result is equal to the second threshold value.

[0152] It should be noted that at least one of the first threshold value and the second threshold value can be agreed by a protocol or can be configured by a network device. At least one of the first predefined relationship and the second predefined relationship can be agreed by a protocol or can be configured by a network device.

[0153] For example, the second cell includes at least one of the following: a current serving cell of the terminal, a cell in which the RLF occurs, a cell in which the handover failure occurs, and an LTM candidate cell.

[0154] The following is an example of the content of the first condition by taking four neighbor cells cell#1, cell#2, cell#3, and cell#4 as an example.

[0155] In some embodiments, the terminal can measure the four neighbor cells respectively to obtain four measurement results, which are LTM measurement result#1 corresponding to cell#1, LTM measurement result#2 corresponding to cell#2, LTM measurement result#3 corresponding to cell#3, and LTM measurement result#4 corresponding to cell#4.

[0156] For example, the first condition includes a relationship between an offset of the LTM measurement result of the first cell relative to a measurement result corresponding to the second cell and the first threshold value, and the relationship satisfies a first predefined relationship.

[0157] The terminal can also measure the second cell to obtain a measurement result#0. The terminal can compare (for example, calculate a difference value) the LTM measurement result#1, the LTM measurement result#2, the LTM measurement result#3, and the LTM measurement result#4 with the measurement result#0 respectively to determine the offset relative to the measurement result#0.

[0158] For example, an offset#1 of the LTM measurement result#1 relative to the measurement result#0 satisfies a relationship with the first threshold value, and the offset#2 of the LTM measurement result#2 relative to the measurement result#0, the offset#3 of the LTM measurement result#3 relative to the measurement result#0, and the offset#4 of the LTM measurement result#4 relative to the measurement result#0 do not satisfy the relationship with the first threshold value, and then the terminal can only record the LTM measurement result#1.

[0159] For example, the first condition includes a relationship between the LTM measurement result of the first cell and the second threshold value, and the relationship satisfies a second predefined relationship.

[0160] The terminal can determine the relationship between the LTM measurement result #1, the LTM measurement result #2, the LTM measurement result #3, the LTM measurement result #4 and the second threshold value respectively.

[0161] For example, the LTM measurement result #2 satisfies the second predefined relationship with the second threshold value, the LTM measurement result #3 satisfies the second predefined relationship with the second threshold value, the LTM measurement result #1 does not satisfy the second predefined relationship with the second threshold value, and the LTM measurement result #4 does not satisfy the second predefined relationship with the second threshold value, then the terminal can only record the LTM measurement result #2 and the LTM measurement result #3.

[0162] In some embodiments, the LTM information related to the radio link failure comprises at least one of:

[0163] First time information, wherein the first time information is used to indicate the time interval from when the terminal receives the LTM configuration to the radio link failure;

[0164] The type of cell switching performed by the terminal before the radio link failure, such as traditional switching, CHO, LTM switching, DAPS switching, etc.

[0165] Information of the LTM candidate cell.

[0166] In some embodiments, when the type of cell switching performed by the terminal before the radio link failure is a specific type (such as one of traditional switching, CHO, LTM switching, DAPS switching), the terminal records the type in the LTM information related to the RLF.

[0167] In some embodiments, in response to the occurrence of the RLF and the terminal having available LTM, the terminal records the LTM information related to the RLF.

[0168] After the network device sends the LTM configuration information to the terminal, it needs to reserve some resources for the terminal, so that when triggering the terminal to perform LTM switching, the terminal can successfully switch in the LTM candidate cell. However, if the resources are reserved for the terminal for a long time, it will cause the resources to be unable to be used by other terminals for a long time, which to some extent causes waste of resources.

[0169] According to the present embodiment, the LTM information related to the RLF can comprise first time information, and since the first time information is used to indicate the time interval from when the terminal receives the LTM configuration to the RLF, accordingly, the network device can determine whether the time interval from when the terminal receives the LTM configuration information to the RLF meets the requirement (such as the time interval being greater than an interval threshold value, or the time interval being less than the interval threshold value, or the time interval being equal to the interval threshold value), and further, in the case that the time interval does not meet the requirement, the LTM configuration information can be adjusted.

[0170] In some embodiments, in a case where the LTM information related to the RLF comprises a type of cell switching performed by the terminal before the RLF, the network device can determine whether the type meets a requirement (e.g., whether the type is a specific type (e.g., at least one of a legacy switching, a CHO, an LTM switching, a DAPS switching)), and in a case where the type does not meet the requirement, the LTM configuration information can be adjusted.

[0171] In some embodiments, in a case where the LTM information related to the RLF comprises information of an LTM candidate cell, the network device can determine whether the information of the LTM candidate cell in the LTM information related to the RLF meets a requirement (e.g., whether a time length for which a resource is reserved for the LTM candidate cell is within a preset time length range), and in a case where the information of the LTM candidate cell in the LTM information related to the RLF does not meet the requirement, the LTM configuration information can be adjusted.

[0172] It should be noted that whether and how the network device adjusts the LTM configuration information based on the LTM information related to the RLF can be implemented based on a network device self-strategy, or based on a protocol agreement, or can be indicated by a core network function module (e.g., an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF)) or an Operation Administration and Maintenance (OAM).

[0173] In some embodiments, the LTM information related to the switching failure comprises at least one of:

[0174] Second time information, wherein the second time information is used to indicate a time interval from receiving the LTM configuration to the switching failure by the terminal;

[0175] A type of cell switching performed by the terminal before the switching failure;

[0176] Information of an LTM candidate cell.

[0177] In some embodiments, in a case where the type of cell switching performed by the terminal before the switching failure is a specific type (e.g., at least one of a legacy switching, a CHO, an LTM switching, a DAPS switching), the terminal records the type in the LTM information related to the RLF.

[0178] In some embodiments, in response to the occurrence of the switching failure and the LTM available to the terminal, the terminal records the LTM information related to the RLF.

[0179] Since the network device sends the LTM configuration information to the terminal, it needs to reserve some resources for the terminal, so that when triggering the terminal to perform LTM switching, the terminal can successfully switch in the LTM candidate cell. However, if the resources are reserved for the terminal for a long time, it will cause the resources to be unable to be used by other terminals for a long time, which to some extent causes waste of resources.

[0180] According to the embodiment, the LTM information related to the switching failure can include first time information, since the first time information is used to indicate the time interval from receiving the LTM configuration to the switching failure of the terminal, according to which the network device can determine whether the time interval from receiving the LTM configuration information to the switching failure of the terminal meets the requirement (for example, the time interval is greater than the interval threshold, or the time interval is less than the interval threshold, or the time interval is equal to the interval threshold), and further in the case that the time interval does not meet the requirement, the LTM configuration information can be adjusted.

[0181] In some embodiments, in the case that the LTM information related to the switching failure includes the type of cell switching performed by the terminal before the switching failure, the network device can determine whether the type meets the requirement (for example, whether the type is a specific type (for example, at least one of traditional switching, CHO, LTM switching, DAPS switching)), and further in the case that the type does not meet the requirement, the LTM configuration information can be adjusted.

[0182] In some embodiments, in the case that the LTM information related to the switching failure includes the information of the LTM candidate cell, the network device can determine whether the information of the LTM candidate cell in the LTM information related to the switching failure meets the requirement (for example, whether the duration of reserving resources for the LTM candidate cell is within a preset duration range), and further in the case that the information of the LTM candidate cell in the LTM information related to the switching failure does not meet the requirement, the LTM configuration information can be adjusted.

[0183] It should be noted that whether the network device adjusts the LTM configuration information according to the LTM information related to the switching failure, and how to adjust the LTM configuration information, can be realized based on the network device's own policy, or based on protocol agreement, or can be indicated by a core network function module (for example, AMF) or OAM.

[0184] In some embodiments, the LTM candidate cell does not include the neighbor cell corresponding to the LTM measurement result.

[0185] The terminal can carry the information of the LTM candidate cell in the RLF-related LTM information or the switching failure-related LTM information and send it to the network device.

[0186] For example, the information of the LTM candidate cell can indicate a candidate target cell list, which can be a candidate target cell list of LTM cell change in ltm-CandidateConfig at connection failure. Also, the information of the LTM candidate cell does not indicate a candidate target cell included in a corresponding cell of the measurement result of the neighboring cell (measResulNeighCell).

[0187] In some embodiments, the terminal can send capability information to the network device, wherein the capability information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0188] Whether the terminal supports recording LTM information related to RLF or handover failure

[0189] Whether the terminal sends LTM information related to RLF or handover failure.

[0190] In some embodiments, the terminal informs the network device of the support of the terminal for recording LTM information related to RLF or handover failure, and sending LTM information related to RLF or handover failure to the network device, so as to facilitate the network device to subsequently perform appropriate operations, and to avoid resource waste.

[0191] For example, the terminal supports recording LTM information related to RLF or handover failure, and supports sending LTM information related to RLF or handover failure to the network device, and the capability information sent by the terminal to the network device can indicate that the terminal supports recording LTM information related to RLF or handover failure, and supports sending LTM information related to RLF or handover failure to the network device.

[0192] In this case, when the network device needs LTM information related to RLF or handover failure, the network device can choose to send request information to the terminal to request the terminal to send LTM information related to RLF or handover failure to the network device.

[0193] For example, the terminal supports recording LTM information related to RLF or handover failure, but does not support sending LTM information related to RLF or handover failure to the network device, and the capability information sent by the terminal to the network device can indicate that the terminal supports recording LTM information related to RLF or handover failure, but does not support sending LTM information related to RLF or handover failure to the network device.

[0194] In this case, when the network device needs LTM information, the network device can choose to send request information to other devices capable of communicating with the terminal to request other devices to obtain LTM information related to RLF or handover failure from the terminal, and then obtain LTM information related to RLF or handover failure from other devices.

[0195] For example, the terminal does not support recording the LTM information related to the RLF or the handover failure, but supports sending the LTM information related to the RLF or the handover failure to the network device, and the capability information sent by the terminal to the network device can indicate that the terminal does not support recording the LTM information related to the RLF or the handover failure, but supports sending the LTM information related to the RLF or the handover failure to the network device.

[0196] In this case, since the terminal does not record the LTM information related to the RLF or the handover failure, the network device also does not have to try to obtain the LTM information related to the RLF or the handover failure requested from the terminal.

[0197] In some embodiments, before recording the LTM information in the RLF report, the terminal can choose to record the LTM information in the related report variable of the RLF report.

[0198] Of course, before the terminal records the LTM information in the RLF report, the terminal is not limited to recording the LTM information through the report variable, but can also record the LTM information through other manners, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0199] In some embodiments, the RLF report for recording the LTM information can reuse the existing RLF report, can newly define the RLF report dedicated for recording the LTM information, and in some embodiments, the RLF report related report variable for recording the LTM information can reuse the existing RLF report related report variable, can newly define the RLF report related report variable dedicated for recording the LTM information.

[0200] In some embodiments, when the terminal sends the RLF report recording the LTM information to the network device, the terminal can also indicate the identity of the LTM candidate cell (for example, the identity of the available LTM candidate cell) to the network device, and the network device can determine the LTM candidate cell according to the identity of the LTM candidate cell, and then can forward the RLF report sent by the terminal to the LTM candidate cell.

[0201] In some embodiments, the terminal can also send availability indication information to the network device, wherein the availability indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following: the terminal stores the available LTM information, and the available LTM candidate cell (for example, indicating the identity of the LTM candidate cell). According to this, the network device determines which LTM candidate cell is available, and / or determines whether the terminal stores the available LTM information.

[0202] In some embodiments, the availability indication information can be multiplexed with the conventional availability indication information; or can be newly defined availability indication information, which can be dedicated to indicating that the terminal stores available LTM related measurement results and / or available LTM candidate cells.

[0203] In addition, in some embodiments, the reporting for recording the LTM information is not limited to the RLF report (e.g., the conventional RLF report or the newly defined RLF report), and for example, the LTM information can also be recorded through other reports, which can be conventional reports, such as the conventional SON report (e.g., the conventional handover success report, the conventional connection establishment failure report, etc.), the conventional MDT report, etc.; or can be newly defined reports, such as the newly defined SON report (e.g., the newly defined handover success report, the newly defined connection establishment failure report, etc.), the newly defined MDT report, etc.

[0204] The communication method related to the embodiments of the present disclosure can include at least one of steps S201-S202. For example, step S201 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, step S202 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, steps S201+S202 can be implemented as an independent embodiment, but are not limited thereto.

[0205] In some embodiments, step S201 can be exchanged in sequence or executed simultaneously.

[0206] In some embodiments, step S201 is optional, and one or more of the steps can be omitted or replaced in different embodiments.

[0207] In some embodiments, step S202 is optional, and one or more of the steps can be omitted or replaced in different embodiments.

[0208] In some embodiments, other optional implementations described before or after the corresponding description can be referred to. Figure 2

[0209] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present disclosure propose an information recording method. Figure 3 is a schematic flow chart of an information recording method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The information recording method shown in the present embodiment can be executed by a terminal.

[0210] As shown in Figure 3 , the information recording method can include the following steps:

[0211] In step S301, a radio link failure or a handover failure occurs, and layer 1 or layer 2 triggered mobility LTM information is recorded.

[0212] ​It should be noted that Figure 3 The embodiments shown can be implemented independently, or in combination with at least one other embodiment of the present disclosure, which can be selected as needed, and the present disclosure does not limit.

[0213] In some embodiments, the LTM information includes at least one of: a cell identity based on LTM recovery; LTM measurement results of a neighbor cell; LTM information related to the radio link failure; LTM information related to the handover failure; a reestablishment cell identity.

[0234] In some embodiments, the LTM measurement result of the neighbor cell comprises an LTM measurement result of a first cell, wherein the first cell comprises at least one of: a cell in the neighbor cell satisfying a first condition; a cell in the neighbor cell not satisfying the first condition.

[0235] In some embodiments, the first condition comprises at least one of: a relationship between an offset of the LTM measurement result of the first cell relative to a corresponding measurement result of a second cell and a first threshold value satisfying a first predefined relationship; a relationship between the LTM measurement result of the first cell and a second threshold value satisfying a second predefined relationship.

[0241] In some embodiments, in the case of consecutive LTM related failures, the terminal can store two RLF related information in the RLF report and report (e.g., send the RLF report to the network device).

[0242] The consecutive LTM related failures can include at least one of:

[0243] A terminal with LTM configuration declares RLF in a source cell. The terminal selects a candidate LTM target cell (i.e. a cell in LTM candidate cells) for connection re-establishment. The terminal fails to re-establish to the selected LTM candidate cell.

[0244] A terminal with LTM configuration performs LTM to a target cell upon meeting a configured condition and experiencing a handover failure. The terminal selects a candidate LTM target cell (i.e. a cell in LTM candidate cells) for connection re-establishment. The terminal fails to re-establish to the selected LTM candidate cell.

[0245] A terminal with LTM configuration performs normal handover (may also be referred to as legacy handover) to a target cell and experiences a handover failure. The terminal selects a configured candidate LTM target cell for connection re-establishment. The UE fails to re-establish to the selected LTM candidate cell using LTM procedure.

[0247] Time information. For example, time from performing LTM to connection failure; for example, multiplexed timeUntilReconnection (for consecutive LTM failure case, can represent the time from the first failure to reconnection), timeSinceFailure. For example, a first time (e.g. referred to as Time C), can represent the time elapsed between the first time LTM is performed and the corresponding latest LTM configuration received for the selected target cell, can be a newly introduced timer, e.g. timeSinceLTMReconfig. For example, a second time (e.g. referred to as Time D), can be represented by timeConnFailure, which should start at the time of LTM performance and stop at the time of handover failure or radio link failure occurrence.

[0248] Measurements of cells and / or beams related to LMT. For example, source cell of LTM. For example, target cell of LTM performance, e.g. the cell where re-establishment is performed after LTM failure or source RLF.

[0249] Information for distinguishing at least one of normal handover failure, LTM failure, LTM recovery failure.

[0250] The neighbor cell measurement results (measResultNeighCells) in the multiplexed RLF report are included with an indication whether the measured neighbor cell is configured as an LTM candidate cell.

[0251] A list of candidate cell identities.

[0252] An explicit indication is added in the RLF report to indicate whether the last performed handover before the RLF in the target cell was an LTM handover.

[0253] A cell identity. For example, an LTM cell identity to indicate the selected LTM cell between the first connection failure and the connection re-establishment. For example, a cell identity to indicate the cell where the terminal attempts the second re-establishment after the first re-establishment failure after the handover failure or RLF. For example, a first re-establishment cell identity to indicate the cell where the terminal attempts the second re-establishment after the LTM recovery failure after the handover failure or RLF. For example, a second re-establishment cell identity to indicate the cell in the RLF report where the terminal performs the connection re-establishment (e.g. first connection re-establishment) if the cell is not an LTM candidate cell. A failed primary cell identity can be multiplexed to indicate the cell where the first connection failure is detected in case of LTM. A previous primary cell identity to indicate the cell where the handover failure or RLF occurs.

[0254] A cell radio network temporary identity.

[0255] An RLF cause if the first failure is RLF (i.e. not handover failure).

[0256] No suitable cell found.

[0257] An explicit indication is added in the RLF report to indicate whether the performed handover before the RLF in the target cell was an LTM handover.

[0258] In some embodiments, if it is detected that the failure is due to the synchronization failure reconfiguration described in 3GPP protocol 5.3.5.8.3, the fields in the radio link failure report variable (VarRLF-report) are set based on the following way:

[0259] If the terminal supports the RLF report for LTM cell change and the configuration (i.e. LTM configuration) of LTM cell change in the LTM configuration report variable (VarLTM-Config) of the master cell group (MCG) is available at the time of cell change failure:

[0260] If the terminal performs LTM change to the target master cell according to the LTM candidate configuration (ltm-CandidateConfig) of the target master cell:

[0261] timeSinceLTM-Reconfig can be set to the interval between a first operation and a second operation, where the first operation comprises the last RRCReconfiguration message including a reconfigurationWithSync of the target PCell that failed LTM cell change, and the second operation comprises the last LTM configuration received in the source primary cell including LTM candidates of the target PCell that failed LTM cell change;

[0262] Otherwise (i.e. the terminal did not perform LTM change to the target primary cell according to the LTM candidates configuration of the target primary cell): timeSinceLTM-Reconfig can be set to the interval between a third operation and a fourth operation, where the third operation comprises the last RRCReconfiguration message including a reconfigurationWithSync of the target PCell that failed handover, and the second operation comprises the last LTM configuration received in the source primary cell including LTM candidates.

[0263] choCandidateCellList can be set to include the global cell identity if available, otherwise, set to include the physical cell identity and carrier frequency of each candidate target cell of LTM cell handover included in the LTM candidates within the primary cell group LTM configuration variable at handover failure, but not the candidate target cells included in the neighbor cell measurements.

[0264] If the terminal supports RLF reporting for LTM cell change, and the last executed RRCReconfiguration message including reconfigurationWithSync is related to LTM cell change, lastHO-Type can be set to LTM.

[0265] In some embodiments, if it is detected that the failure is due to radio link failure described in 3GPP protocol 5.3.10.3, the fields in the radio link failure report variable (VarRLF-report) are set based on the following ways:

[0266] If an RRCReconfiguration message including reconfigurationWithSync is received before the connection failure:

[0267] If the timer T311 (the specific function can refer to the relevant protocol, which is not described here) is not running before entering the primary cell where RLF is detected:

[0268] If the last executed RRCReconfiguration message containing a synchronization reconfiguration is related to an LTM cell change, set the last handover type to LTM.

[0269] If at the time of declaring radio link failure, LTM cell change configuration is available in the LTM configuration variable of the MCG:

[0270] Set timeSinceLTM-Reconfig to the time interval from detecting RLF to receiving the LTM configuration including the LTM candidate message in the source PCell;

[0271] Set the LTM candidate cell list (ltmCandidateCellList) to include the global cell identity if available, otherwise, set to include the physical cell identity and carrier frequency of each of the candidate target cells in the LTM cell handover included in the LTM candidates within the LTM configuration variable of the MCG at the time of RLF, but not the candidate target cells in the neighbor cell measurements.
