[0190] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a schematic structural diagram of a wireless communication system provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the wireless communication system may include: at least one terminal 11 and at least one base station 12.

[0191] Terminal 11 may refer to a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user. Terminal 11 may communicate with one or more core network devices via a radio access network (RAN). Terminal 11 may be an IoT terminal, such as a sensor device, a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone), and a computer with an IoT terminal. For example, the terminal may be a fixed, portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-built-in, or vehicle-mounted device. For example, a station (STA), subscriber unit, subscriber station, mobile station, mobile, remote station, access point, remote terminal, access terminal, user terminal, user agent, user device, or user equipment (UE). Alternatively, terminal 11 may be a device on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

The wireless communication system may be a fourth generation mobile communication technology (4G) system, also known as a long term evolution (LTE) system; or, the wireless communication system may be a 5G system, also known as a new radio (NR) system or a 5G NR system. Alternatively, the wireless communication system may be a next generation system of the 5G system. The access network in the 5G system may be referred to as NG-RAN (New Generation-Radio Access Network). Alternatively, an MTC system.

[0193] Among them, the base station 12 can be an evolved base station (eNB) adopted in a 4G system. Alternatively, the base station 12 can also be a base station (gNB) adopting a centralized distributed architecture in a 5G system. When the base station 12 adopts a centralized distributed architecture, it usually includes a centralized unit (CU) and at least two distributed units (DU). The centralized unit is provided with a protocol stack of a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer, a radio link layer control protocol (RLC) layer, and a media access control (MAC) layer; the distributed unit is provided with a physical (PHY) layer protocol stack. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the specific implementation method of the base station 12.

[0198] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the embodiments of the present disclosure list multiple implementation methods to clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that the multiple embodiments provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented individually, or can be implemented together with the methods of other embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure, or can be implemented together with some methods in other related technologies individually or in combination; the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

[0199] The measurement process may include measurement configuration, measurement execution and measurement reporting.

[0200] 1. Measurement configuration

[0201] For example, the network can use the RRC reconfiguration process to perform measurement configuration on the UE, where the measurement configuration includes at least one of the following: measurement object (such as measObject), reporting configuration (such as ReportConfig), measurement identifier (such as measID), measurement start threshold, measurement gap and measurement gap allocation information.

[0202] Each set of measurements is associated and configured using an index, with the overall index being the measurement identifier. All measurements are arranged according to the associations between the measurement identifiers and delivered by the network to the UE. Each measurement identifier is associated with both a measurement object identifier and a reporting configuration identifier, indicating the measurement object and reporting configuration combination to be measured. Measurement objects and reporting configurations not associated with a measurement identifier may also be delivered to the UE, but the UE will not perform any measurements on these configurations. Each measurement identifier can be associated with only one measurement object identifier and one reporting configuration identifier.

[0203] 2. Measurement execution

[0204] High-level measurement models such as Figure 2 shown.

[0205] During the measurement process, L1 and L3 beam filtering can be used to measure the filtered signal. Finally, an evaluation report is generated. Measurement parameters can be configured through RRC signaling.

[0206] 3. Measurement reporting

[0207] The UE performs measurements based on the measurement configuration sent by the network. After obtaining the cell-level measurement results, it evaluates the reporting criteria. Generally speaking, measurement reporting criteria can be categorized as event-triggered reporting or periodic reporting. The reporting evaluation criteria used are determined by the reporting configuration sent to the UE.

[0208] (1) Event trigger reporting method

[0209] The RRM events supported in the NR system include A1 / A2 / A3 / A4 / A5 / A6 and the B1 / B2 events of different RATs. The six measurement events in the same system are described below.

[0210] Event A1: The serving cell measurement result is greater than the threshold;

[0211] Event A2: The serving cell measurement result is less than the threshold;

[0212] Event A3: The neighboring cell measurement result is better than the SpCell measurement result (reporting criteria evaluation PCell or PSCell);

[0213] Event A4: The neighboring cell measurement result is greater than the threshold;

[0214] Event A5: The SpCell (e.g., PCell or PSCell) measurement result is less than Threshold 1, while the neighboring cell measurement result is greater than Threshold 2.

[0215] Event A6: The neighbor cell measurement result is better than the measurement result of a secondary serving cell (e.g., SCell).

[0216] The following describes the different radio access technology (RAT) measurement events supported by the current NR system.

[0217] Event B1: The measurement result of the inter-RAT neighboring cell is greater than the threshold;

[0218] Event B2: The measurement result of the primary serving cell (e.g., PCell) is less than threshold 1, while the measurement result of the inter-RAT neighboring cell is greater than threshold 2.

[0219] (2) Periodic reporting method

[0220] If the trigger type is "periodic", when the maximum number of reports is reached, the UE will autonomously delete the corresponding measurement identifier in the measurement configuration variable. The reporting configuration corresponding to the reporting criteria of the trigger type "periodic" is:

[0221] The trigger type is "periodic";

[0222] The number of reports is greater than 1;

[0223] · The reporting interval takes effect and the network sets the reporting cycle timer according to the configured interval parameters.

[0224] If the reporting conditions are met, the UE will trigger the measurement report. The content of the measurement report includes the following aspects.

[0225] ① Measurement identifier: Through this identifier, the network obtains various information from its own stored measurement configuration, including the measurement object corresponding to this report, the measurement event threshold triggered by the event, the purpose of the periodic trigger, etc.

[0226] ② All available serving cell measurement results.

[0227] ③ According to the reporting configuration, the best neighboring cell measurement results on each service frequency can be optionally carried.

[0228] ④ Measurement results of neighboring cells that meet the trigger conditions.

[0229] 2. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)

[0230] In recent years, services based on UAVs, such as drones, have emerged, including various drone operations, personal entertainment of flight experience, cargo delivery, etc. As the basis of these services, remote control and data transmission capabilities are key aspects to be enhanced, which is of interest to service providers / operators as well as drone manufacturers.

[0231] UAV applications are more diverse, requiring lower latency and transmission rates. Therefore, NRUAVs need to be enhanced based on LTE UAVs.

[0232] Due to their altitude, UAVs have more line-of-sight (LoS) connections than ground-based UEs. Therefore, the measured signal variations between distances are less noticeable for UAVs in the air, allowing them to receive signals from base stations farther away. This can cause UAVs to experience or cause more severe interference than ground-based UEs. This also increases the number of measurements reported by airborne UEs, making UAV UE mobility management a significant challenge.

[0233] The altitude of UAV UEs affects the channel environment. Airborne UEs have more LOS paths, which makes signal strength less affected by distance. The signal strength difference between the serving cell and the neighboring cell with LOS connection may not be significant. This makes UAV UEs prone to ping-pong effects, triggering frequent measurement reports and necessitating optimization of their measurement configuration methods.

[0234] like Figure 3 As shown, this exemplary embodiment provides an information transmission method, which can be performed by a network device, including:

[0235] Step 301: Send first indication information, where the first indication information is used for a UE to determine whether at least one measurement configuration is effective.

[0236] The network equipment may include core network equipment and / or access network equipment.

[0237] In one possible implementation, the UE includes: a UAV UE.

[0238] In a possible implementation, the first indication information may be configured by a core network device and / or an access network device and sent to the UE.

[0239] The measurement configuration may be sent by the network device to the UE. After receiving the measurement configuration, the UE may perform measurement and / or report the measurement based on the measurement configuration.

[0240] For example, there are more LOS paths between aerial UEs and network devices, which makes the signal strength less affected by distance. The signal strength difference between the serving cell and the neighboring cell with LOS connection may not be large, which makes UAV UE prone to ping-pong effect and triggers frequent measurement reporting.

[0241] In a possible implementation, the first indication information may directly indicate whether the measurement configuration is effective.

[0242] In a possible implementation, the first indication information may be used to indicate to the UE a control policy for determining whether the measurement configuration is effective, and the UE determines whether the measurement configuration is effective based on the control policy.

[0243] In a possible implementation, in response to determining that the measurement configuration is effective, the UE may perform measurement and report the measurement based on the measurement configuration.

[0244] In one embodiment, the measurement configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0245] One or more measurement identifiers;

[0246] one or more measurement objects;

[0247] One or more reporting configurations;

[0248] One or more measurement gap configurations;

[0249] One or more synchronization signal block measurement configurations SMTC.

[0250] In the present application, the measurement configuration is not limited to including one measurement identifier, one measurement object, one reporting configuration, one gap configuration, or one synchronization signal block measurement configuration (SMTC). The measurement configuration may also include multiple measurement identifiers, multiple measurement objects, multiple reporting configurations, multiple gap configurations, or multiple synchronization signal block measurement configurations (SMTC). In this way, the measurement scope covered by the measurement configuration can be expanded.

[0251] For example, if the measurement configuration is for one or more measurement Gap configurations, the UE uses the one or more measurement Gap configurations to perform measurements.

[0252] If the UE enables one or more measurement identifiers, the UE performs measurement of the measurement objects associated with the one or more measurement identifiers, and performs measurement reporting according to the reporting configuration associated with each measurement identifier.

[0253] If the UE enables one or more reporting configurations, the UE performs measurements corresponding to the measurement identifiers associated with the one or more reporting configurations, and performs corresponding reporting configurations.

[0254] In this way, the first indication information is used to allow the UE to determine whether at least one measurement configuration is effective, thereby avoiding invalid measurements and measurement reports, reducing resource waste and the number of measurement reports, and improving measurement efficiency.

[0255] In one embodiment, the first indication information is used to indicate one of the following:

[0256] whether one or more of the measurement configurations are in effect;

[0257] Whether all the measurement configurations are effective.

[0258] The first indication information corresponds to all measurement configurations stored in the UE, and may also correspond to part of the measurement configurations, or may also correspond to a specific measurement configuration.

[0259] In a possible implementation, the first indication information may indicate that all measurement configurations of the UE are invalid.

[0260] In a possible implementation, the first indication information may instruct the UE that all measurement configurations are effective.

[0261] In a possible implementation, the first indication information may indicate that part of the UE's measurement configuration is invalid.

[0262] In a possible implementation, the first indication information may indicate that a partial measurement configuration of the UE is effective.

[0263] In a possible implementation manner, the first indication information may indicate whether one or more configurations in the measurement configuration are effective.

[0264] Exemplarily, the first indication information may indicate whether one or more sub-configurations in the measurement configuration are effective by indicating the identifiers of different sub-configurations in the measurement configuration.

[0265] For example, the first indication information may indicate whether different configurations are effective by indicating an identifier of a measurement object in the measurement configuration, or a measurement identifier, or an identifier of a reporting configuration.

[0266] Whether the measurement configuration is effective is indicated by the first indication information, thereby improving the control capability of the measurement configuration and reducing invalid measurement configurations.

[0267] In one embodiment, the first indication information is used to indicate whether one or more measurement configurations are effective, including:

[0268] The first indication information is associated with one or more identifiers of the measurement configuration; and / or

[0269] The measurement configuration includes an identifier of the first indication information.

[0270] In a possible implementation, a measurement configuration has a unique identifier, which is used to uniquely indicate the measurement configuration.

[0271] In a possible implementation, a piece of first indication information has a unique identifier, which is used to uniquely indicate the first indication information.

[0272] The first indication information is associated with an identifier of the measurement configuration, and whether the measurement configuration corresponding to the identifier is effective is indicated by the first indication information.

[0273] The identifier of the first indication information for indicating whether the measurement configuration is effective may be included in the measurement configuration to achieve the corresponding relationship.

[0274] In one embodiment, the first indication information is used to indicate:

[0275] one or more start and stop conditions for whether the measurement configuration is effective, or

[0276] The start and stop conditions for whether all the measurement configurations are effective.

[0277] The start and stop conditions can indirectly indicate whether the measurement configuration is effective.

[0278] In a possible implementation manner, the start / stop conditions are used for the UE to make a judgment, and the UE determines whether the measurement configuration is effective according to a result of the judgment.

[0279] The start and stop conditions may include at least one condition for the UE to judge, and the UE makes the judgment and determines whether the measurement configuration is effective according to the judgment result.

[0280] Exemplarily, a threshold corresponding to a predetermined judgment parameter may be provided, and the UE determines whether the measurement configuration is effective based on a comparison result between the predetermined judgment parameter and the threshold. The predetermined judgment parameter may be associated with the UE. For example, the predetermined judgment parameter may be the speed of the UE.

[0281] In one possible implementation, the start / stop conditions may include an effectiveness condition and / or an ineffective condition. When the effectiveness condition is met, the measurement configuration is effective; otherwise, the measurement configuration is ineffective. When the ineffective condition is met, the measurement configuration is ineffective; otherwise, the measurement configuration is effective.

[0282] The first indication information is used to indicate the start and stop conditions of the corresponding measurement configuration to the UE. The start and stop conditions of different measurement configurations may not be completely the same, may be the same, or may be completely different.

[0283] Illustratively, different measurement configurations may correspond to the same start / stop condition and / or start / stop condition configuration.

[0284] The start and stop conditions may include: a validity condition of the measurement configuration and / or an invalidation condition of the measurement configuration.

[0285] For example, if the validity conditions are met, the measurement configuration becomes valid; otherwise, the measurement configuration becomes invalid.

[0286] For example, if the failure condition is met, the measurement configuration becomes invalid; otherwise, the measurement configuration becomes valid.

[0287] The start and stop conditions may correspond to all measurement configurations stored in the UE, may correspond to part of the measurement configurations, or may correspond to a specific measurement configuration.

[0288] In one possible implementation, the start / stop condition may correspond to all measurement configurations stored by the UE. When the measurement configuration is determined to be effective according to the start / stop condition, all measurement configurations stored by the UE are effective; when the measurement configuration is determined to be invalid according to the start / stop condition, all measurement configurations stored by the UE are invalid, and the UE does not initiate measurement of all measurement configurations.

[0289] In one possible implementation, the start / stop conditions may correspond to some measurement configurations stored by the UE, and one start / stop condition may be associated with one or more measurement configurations (for example, the configuration of the enabling condition may include an identifier of the associated measurement configuration, or the measurement configuration associated with the enabling condition may include an identifier of the enabling condition). When multiple measurement configurations are determined to be effective based on the start / stop conditions, the multiple measurement configurations stored by the UE are effective; when multiple measurement configurations are determined to be invalid based on the start / stop conditions, the multiple measurement configurations stored by the UE are invalid.

[0290] In one possible implementation, the start / stop condition may correspond to a specific measurement configuration. A start / stop condition may be associated only with the specific measurement configuration (for example, the start / stop condition is associated with an identifier of the specific measurement configuration), or the configuration of the start / stop condition or related indication information may be included in the specific measurement configuration. When multiple measurement configurations are determined to be effective based on the start / stop condition, the specific measurement configuration is effective; when multiple measurement configurations are determined to be invalid based on the start / stop condition, the specific measurement configuration is invalid.

[0291] Determining whether the measurement configuration is effective through the start and stop conditions can meet the requirements for measurement configuration in different situations and make the measurement configuration adaptable to different scenarios.

[0292] In one embodiment, the first indication information is used to indicate a start / stop condition of whether one or more measurement configurations are effective, including:

[0293] The start and stop conditions are associated with one or more identifications of the measurement configurations; and / or

[0294] The measurement configuration includes identification of the start and stop conditions.

[0295] In a possible implementation, a measurement configuration has a unique identifier, which is used to uniquely indicate the measurement configuration.

[0296] In a possible implementation, a start / stop condition has a unique identifier for uniquely indicating the start / stop condition.

[0297] The start / stop condition is associated with the identifier of the measurement configuration. Whether the measurement configuration corresponding to the identifier is effective is determined based on the start / stop condition.

[0298] The identification of the start and stop conditions for determining whether the measurement configuration is effective can be included in the measurement configuration to achieve the corresponding relationship. In one embodiment, the start and stop conditions are associated with at least one of the following:

[0299] the height of the UE;

[0300] the speed of the UE;

[0301] the location of the UE;

[0302] The movement trajectory of the UE;

[0303] Time information.

[0304] The start / stop conditions may be conditions for determining whether the measurement configuration is effective based on the UE's altitude / speed / position / time / trajectory. Here, the judgment conditions may include, but are not limited to, actual values ​​of altitude / speed / position / time / trajectory, or rates of change of altitude / speed / position / time / trajectory.

[0305] In one possible implementation, the condition based on height may be that the height of the UE is greater than (or less than) a height threshold, and / or the height change rate is greater than (or less than) a height change rate threshold.

[0306] In one possible implementation, the condition based on speed (which may include: vertical and / or horizontal and / or 3D speed) may be that the speed of the UE is greater than (or less than) a speed threshold, and / or the speed change rate is greater than (or less than) a speed change rate threshold.

[0307] In a possible implementation, the position of the UE may be a coordinate position of the UE, or a relative position based on a predetermined reference point. For example, the position of the UE may be the distance between the UE and a base station.

[0308] Exemplarily, the location-based condition may be that the distance between the UE and the cell reference location (eg, base station location) is greater than (or less than) a distance threshold, and / or the distance change rate is greater than (or less than) a distance change rate threshold.

[0309] In one possible implementation, the time information may be used to indicate the time when the measurement configuration takes effect and / or becomes invalid. The time-based condition may be that the measured time is greater than (or less than) a threshold value; or that the measured time is within a specific time range.

[0310] In one possible implementation, the trajectory-based condition may be an offset between the UE's actual motion trajectory and a predetermined trajectory, and whether the measurement configuration is effective may be determined based on the trajectory offset. The trajectory-based condition may be a correspondence between the UE's motion trajectory and whether the measurement configuration is effective. For example, a motion trajectory at a first altitude may correspond to a measurement configuration failure, while a motion trajectory at a second altitude may correspond to a measurement configuration effectiveness, where the first altitude is different from the second altitude.

[0311] like Figure 4 As shown, this exemplary embodiment provides an information transmission method, which can be performed by a network device, including:

[0312] Step 401: Receive a measurement report, where the measurement report carries second indication information, where the second indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0313] The measurement configuration currently in effect for the UE;

[0314] The measurement configuration of the UE is currently invalid.

[0315] The UE can report the effectiveness and failure of its own measurement configuration to the network through measurement reports, thereby improving information synchronization between the UE and network equipment.

[0316] In one embodiment, the sending of the first indication information includes:

[0317] sending a first message, where the first message includes the first indication information and the measurement configuration; or,

[0318] A first message is sent, where the first message includes the measurement configuration, and the measurement configuration includes the first indication information.

[0319] The first indication information may be carried in the measurement configuration.

[0320] In a possible implementation manner, the first indication information is used to determine whether the measurement configuration carrying the first indication information is effective.

[0321] In a possible implementation manner, the first indication information is used to determine whether the measurement configuration carrying the first indication information and / or other measurement configurations are effective.

[0322] Exemplarily, the first indication information may correspond to a specific measurement configuration, and the first indication information may be included in the configuration of the specific measurement configuration, for example, included in a reporting configuration. When the enabling condition is met, the reporting configuration is effective.

[0323] Exemplarily, the first indication information may be included in the corresponding measurement configuration, and is used to indicate whether the specific configuration information is valid (or invalid). For example, if the first indication information is 1, it indicates that it is valid, otherwise it is invalid.

[0324] In one embodiment, the first indication information is carried in one of the following:

[0325] Radio Resource Control RRC message;

[0326] Media Access Control Element MAC CE;

[0327] Downlink control information DCI.

[0328] In a possible implementation, the first indication information may be sent to the UE separately via an RRC message, MAC CE, or DCI.

[0329] In a possible implementation, the first indication information and the measurement configuration may be sent together to the UE through an RRC message, a MAC CE, or a DCI.

[0330] In an embodiment, the first indication information is further used to instruct the UE to perform measurement and / or perform measurement reporting based on the effective measurement configuration.

[0331] In response to determining that a certain measurement configuration is effective according to the first indication information, the UE starts measurement and / or measurement reporting corresponding to the corresponding measurement configuration.

[0332] In one embodiment, the first indication information is further used to instruct the UE to stop currently ongoing measurement execution and / or measurement reporting associated with the measurement configuration.

[0333] In response to determining, according to the first indication information, that a certain measurement configuration is invalid, the UE stops the corresponding measurement and / or measurement reporting if measurement and / or measurement reporting corresponding to the measurement configuration is in progress.

[0334] In response to determining, according to the first indication information, that a certain measurement configuration is invalid, the UE does not start corresponding measurement and / or measurement reporting.

[0335] like Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of an information transmission method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the flow including:

[0336] Step 501: A terminal receives first indication information sent by a network device. The first indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following: instructing the terminal to start a first measurement, wherein the first measurement corresponds to a first measurement configuration (i.e., the measurement configuration in the above embodiment); instructing the terminal not to start the first measurement or to stop the first measurement, wherein the first measurement corresponds to a first measurement configuration; instructing the terminal that the first measurement configuration is effective; instructing the first measurement configuration of the first terminal to be invalid; instructing the conditions under which the first measurement configuration of the terminal is effective; instructing the conditions under which the first measurement configuration of the terminal is invalid; instructing the activation of the first measurement configuration of the terminal; instructing the deactivation of the first measurement configuration.

[0337] In some embodiments, the number of the first measurement configurations is one or more.

[0338] In a specific example, the first measurement configuration is all measurement configurations configured by the network device for the terminal.

[0339] In some embodiments, each first measurement configuration may include at least one of the following: one or more measurement identifiers; one or more measurement objects; one or more reporting configurations; one or more measurement gap configurations; and one or more synchronization signal block measurement configurations (SMTCs). It is understood that the first measurement configuration may also include other content.

[0340] Here, description is made by taking the example that the first indication information indicates that one or more first measurement configurations are effective.

[0341] In a possible implementation manner, the first indication information is used to indicate whether all first measurement configurations configured for the terminal are effective or invalid.

[0342] In another possible implementation, the first indication information includes one or more measurement identifiers. Then, the first indication information is used to indicate whether the first measurement configuration corresponding to the one or more measurement identifiers is valid or invalid.

[0343] In another possible implementation, the first indication information is included in a first measurement configuration. The first indication information is used to indicate activation / validation of the first measurement configuration containing the first indication information, or to indicate deactivation / invalidation of the first measurement configuration containing the first indication information.

[0344] In another possible implementation, the first indication message is included in a first message sent by the network device to the terminal, and the first message also includes a first measurement configuration; then, the first indication message is used to indicate activation / validation of the first measurement configuration in the first message; or, to indicate deactivation / invalidation of the first measurement configuration in the first message.

[0345] Here, description is given by taking the example that the first indication information indicates one or more first measurement configuration validity conditions / invalidity conditions.

[0346] In a possible implementation manner, the first indication information is used to indicate all first measurement configuration validity conditions or failure conditions configured for the terminal.

[0347] In another possible implementation, the first indication information includes one or more measurement identifiers. Then, the first indication information is used to indicate the validation condition / invalidation condition of the first measurement configuration corresponding to the one or more measurement identifiers.

[0348] In another possible implementation, the first indication information includes one or more validation conditions / invalidation conditions. Each validation condition / invalidation condition corresponds to a condition identifier. If a first measurement configuration includes one or more condition identifiers, then the validation conditions / invalidation conditions corresponding to the one or more condition identifiers correspond to the first measurement configuration. Then, the one or more condition identifiers are used to indicate the validation conditions / invalidation conditions corresponding to the first measurement configuration. In one example, the reporting configuration in the first measurement configuration includes one or more condition identifiers, then, the one or more condition identifiers are used to indicate the validation conditions / invalidation conditions corresponding to the first measurement configuration.

[0349] In another possible implementation, the first indication message is included in a first message sent by the network device to the terminal, and the first message also includes a first measurement configuration; then, the first indication message is used to indicate the effectiveness condition / ineffectiveness condition of the first measurement configuration in the first message.

[0350] In one embodiment, the validation condition or the expiration condition indicated in the first indication information may include at least one of the following:

[0351] Conditions based on terminal height. For example, if the terminal height is greater than the height threshold, the first measurement configuration takes effect; if the terminal height is less than the height threshold, the first measurement configuration becomes invalid. If the height change rate is greater than the height change rate threshold, the first measurement configuration takes effect; if the height change rate is less than the height change rate threshold, the first measurement configuration becomes invalid.

[0352] Conditions based on terminal speed. For example, if the terminal speed exceeds the speed threshold, the first measurement configuration takes effect; if the terminal speed is less than the speed threshold, the first measurement configuration is invalid. If the speed change rate exceeds the speed change rate threshold, the first measurement configuration takes effect; if the speed change rate is less than the speed change rate threshold, the first measurement configuration is invalid.

[0353] Conditions based on the terminal's location, for example: if the distance between the terminal and the cell reference location (e.g., base station location) is greater than a distance threshold, the first measurement configuration takes effect; if the distance between the terminal and the cell reference location (e.g., base station location) is less than the distance threshold, the first measurement configuration becomes invalid. If the distance change rate is greater than the distance change rate threshold, the first measurement configuration takes effect; if the distance change rate is less than the distance change rate threshold, the first measurement configuration becomes invalid.

[0354] Conditions based on terminal time, for example: if the measured time is greater than the threshold, the first measurement configuration is effective; if the measured time is less than the threshold, the first measurement configuration is invalid. If the measured time is within a specific time range, the first measurement configuration is effective. If the measured time is outside the specific time range, the first measurement configuration is invalid.

[0355] Conditions based on the terminal trajectory, for example, if the deviation between the actual motion trajectory and the predetermined trajectory is greater than a threshold, the first measurement configuration is enabled, and if the deviation between the actual motion trajectory and the predetermined trajectory is less than the threshold, the first measurement configuration is disabled.

[0356] In some embodiments, the first indication information is carried in any one of the following messages: RRC message; MAC CE; downlink control information DCI.

[0357] In one embodiment, the terminal is a UAV.

[0358] Step 502: The terminal performs measurement according to the first indication information.

[0359] In some embodiments, the first measurement is initiated: the UE performs the first measurement according to the first measurement configuration:

[0360] If the first measurement configuration is a measurement Gap configuration, the UE uses the measurement Gap configuration information to perform measurements.

[0361] If the UE enables one or more measurement identifiers in a first measurement configuration, the UE performs measurement of the measurement object associated with the measurement identifier and performs measurement reporting according to the reporting configuration associated with the measurement identifier.

[0362] If the UE enables one or more reporting configurations in the first measurement configuration, and if there is an associated measurement identifier, the UE performs corresponding measurements and performs corresponding reporting configurations.

[0363] In some embodiments, the first measurement is not started. If the first measurement and / or measurement reporting corresponding to the first measurement configuration is in progress, the corresponding first measurement and / or measurement reporting is stopped. Alternatively, the corresponding first measurement and / or measurement reporting is not started.

[0364] It should be noted that Figure 5For other contents of the process shown, please refer to the relevant contents in the previous embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0365] like Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of another information transmission method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the flow chart including:

[0366] Step 601: The terminal sends a measurement report to the network device.

[0367] In some embodiments, the terminal may execute this step after executing the above steps 501 and 502.

[0368] In other embodiments, the terminal may also use other methods to perform measurement, that is, instead of performing the above steps 501 and 502, perform this step.

[0369] In some other embodiments, the measurement report includes but is not limited to at least one of the following:

[0370] Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP)

[0371] Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ)

[0372] Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR)

[0373] It should be noted that Figure 6 For other contents of the process shown, please refer to the relevant contents in the previous embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0374] like Figure 7 As shown, this exemplary embodiment provides an information transmission method, which can be performed by a user equipment UE, including:

[0375] Step 701: Determine whether at least one measurement configuration is effective according to first indication information; wherein the first indication information is used by the UE to determine whether at least one measurement configuration is effective.

[0376] The network equipment may include core network equipment and / or access network equipment.

[0377] In one possible implementation, the UE includes: a UAV UE.

[0378] In a possible implementation, the first indication information may be agreed upon in a protocol.

[0379] In a possible implementation, the first indication information may be pre-stored in the UE.

[0380] like Figure 8 As shown, this exemplary embodiment provides an information transmission method, which can be performed by a user equipment UE, including:

[0381] Step 801: Receive the first indication information.

[0382] In a possible implementation, the first indication information may be configured by a core network device and / or an access network device and sent to the UE.

[0383] The measurement configuration may be sent by the network device to the UE. After receiving the measurement configuration, the UE may perform measurement and / or report the measurement based on the measurement configuration.

[0384] In related technologies, when a UE receives a measurement configuration, it indicates that the measurement configuration needs to be executed, and a network device cannot control whether the UE executes the measurement configuration.

[0385] For example, there are more LOS paths between UE network devices in the air, which makes the signal strength less affected by distance. The signal strength difference between the serving cell and the neighboring cell with LOS connection may not be large, which makes UAV UE prone to ping-pong effect and triggers frequent measurement reporting.

[0386] In a possible implementation, the first indication information may directly indicate whether the measurement configuration is effective.

[0387] In a possible implementation, the first indication information may be used to indicate to the UE a control policy for determining whether the measurement configuration is effective, and the UE determines whether the measurement configuration is effective based on the control policy.

[0388] In a possible implementation, in response to determining that the measurement configuration is effective, the UE may perform measurement and report the measurement based on the measurement configuration.

[0389] In one embodiment, the measurement configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0390] One or more measurement identifiers;

[0391] one or more measurement objects;

[0392] One or more reporting configurations;

[0393] One or more measurement gap configurations;

[0394] One or more synchronization signal block measurement configurations SMTC.

[0395] In the present application, the measurement configuration may not be limited to including one measurement identifier, one measurement object, one reporting configuration, one gap configuration, or one synchronization signal block measurement configuration (SMTC). The measurement configuration may also include multiple measurement identifiers, multiple measurement objects, multiple reporting configurations, multiple gap configurations, or multiple synchronization signal block measurement configurations (SMTC). In this way, the measurement scope covered by the measurement configuration can be expanded.

[0396] Exemplarily, if the measurement configuration is for one or more measurement Gap configurations, the UE performs measurement using the one or more measurement Gap configurations.

[0397] If the UE enables one or more measurement identifiers, the UE performs measurement of the measurement objects associated with the one or more measurement identifiers, and performs measurement reporting according to the reporting configuration associated with each measurement identifier.

[0398] If the UE enables one or more reporting configurations, the UE performs measurements corresponding to the measurement identifiers associated with the one or more reporting configurations, and performs corresponding reporting configurations.

[0399] In this way, the first indication information allows the UE to determine whether at least one measurement configuration is effective, thereby effectively avoiding invalid measurements and measurement reports, reducing resource waste and the number of measurement reports, and improving measurement efficiency.

[0400] In one embodiment, the first indication information is used to indicate one of the following:

[0401] whether one or more of the measurement configurations are in effect;

[0402] Whether all the measurement configurations are effective.

[0403] The first indication information corresponds to all measurement configurations stored in the UE, and may also correspond to part of the measurement configurations, or may also correspond to a specific measurement configuration.

[0404] In a possible implementation, the first indication information may indicate that all measurement configurations of the UE are invalid.

[0405] In a possible implementation, the first indication information may indicate that all measurement configurations of the UE are effective.

[0406] In a possible implementation, the first indication information may indicate that part of the UE's measurement configuration is invalid.

[0407] In a possible implementation, the first indication information may indicate that a partial measurement configuration of the UE is effective.

[0408] In a possible implementation manner, the first indication information may indicate whether one or more configurations in the measurement configuration are effective.

[0409] Exemplarily, the first indication information may indicate whether one or more sub-configurations in the measurement configuration are effective by indicating the identifiers of different sub-configurations in the measurement configuration.

[0410] For example, the first indication information may indicate whether different configurations are effective by indicating an identifier of a measurement object in the measurement configuration, or a measurement identifier, or an identifier of a reporting configuration.

[0411] Whether the measurement configuration is effective is indicated by the first indication information, thereby improving the control capability of the measurement configuration and reducing invalid measurement configurations.

[0412] In one embodiment, the first indication information is used to indicate whether one or more measurement configurations are effective, including:

[0413] The first indication information is associated with one or more identifiers of the measurement configuration; and / or

[0414] The measurement configuration includes an identifier of the first indication information.

[0415] In a possible implementation, a measurement configuration has a unique identifier, which is used to uniquely indicate the measurement configuration.

[0416] In a possible implementation, a piece of first indication information has a unique identifier, which is used to uniquely indicate the first indication information.

[0417] The first indication information is associated with an identifier of the measurement configuration, and whether the measurement configuration corresponding to the identifier is effective is indicated by the first indication information.

[0418] The identifier of the first indication information for indicating whether the measurement configuration is effective may be included in the measurement configuration to achieve the corresponding relationship.

[0419] In one embodiment, the first indication information is used to indicate:

[0420] one or more start and stop conditions for whether the measurement configuration is effective, or

[0421] The start and stop conditions for whether all the measurement configurations are effective.

[0422] The start and stop conditions can indirectly indicate whether the measurement configuration is effective.

[0423] In a possible implementation manner, the start / stop conditions are used for the UE to make a judgment, and the UE determines whether the measurement configuration is effective according to a result of the judgment.

[0424] The start and stop conditions may include at least one condition for the UE to judge, and the UE makes the judgment and determines whether the measurement configuration is effective according to the judgment result.

[0425] Exemplarily, a threshold corresponding to a predetermined judgment parameter may be provided, and the UE determines whether the measurement configuration is effective based on a comparison result between the predetermined judgment parameter and the threshold. The predetermined judgment parameter may be associated with the UE. For example, the predetermined judgment parameter may be the speed of the UE.

[0426] In one possible implementation, the start / stop conditions may include an effectiveness condition and / or an ineffective condition. When the effectiveness condition is met, the measurement configuration is effective; otherwise, the measurement configuration is ineffective. When the ineffective condition is met, the measurement configuration is ineffective; otherwise, the measurement configuration is effective.

[0427] The first indication information is used to indicate to the UE the corresponding start and stop conditions of the measurement configuration. The start and stop conditions of different measurement configurations may not be completely the same, may be the same, or may be completely different.

[0428] Exemplarily, different measurement configurations may correspond to the same start / stop condition and / or start / stop condition configuration. The start / stop condition may include: a measurement configuration validation condition and / or a measurement configuration failure condition.

[0429] Illustratively, if the validation condition is met, the measurement configuration becomes effective; otherwise, the measurement configuration becomes invalid.

[0430] Illustratively, if the failure condition is met, the measurement configuration becomes invalid; otherwise, the measurement configuration becomes valid.

[0431] The start and stop conditions may correspond to all measurement configurations stored in the UE, may correspond to part of the measurement configurations, or may correspond to a specific measurement configuration.

[0432] In one possible implementation, the start / stop condition may correspond to all measurement configurations stored by the UE. When the measurement configuration is determined to be effective according to the start / stop condition, all measurement configurations stored by the UE are effective; when the measurement configuration is determined to be invalid according to the start / stop condition, all measurement configurations stored by the UE are invalid, and the UE does not initiate measurement of all measurement configurations.

[0433] In one possible implementation, the start / stop conditions may correspond to some measurement configurations stored by the UE, and one start / stop condition may be associated with one or more measurement configurations (for example, the configuration of the enabling condition may include an identifier of the associated measurement configuration, or the measurement configuration associated with the enabling condition may include an identifier of the enabling condition). When multiple measurement configurations are determined to be effective based on the start / stop conditions, the multiple measurement configurations stored by the UE are effective; when multiple measurement configurations are determined to be invalid based on the start / stop conditions, the multiple measurement configurations stored by the UE are invalid.

[0434] In one possible implementation, the start / stop condition may correspond to a specific measurement configuration. A start / stop condition may be associated only with the specific measurement configuration (for example, the start / stop condition is associated with an identifier of the specific measurement configuration), or the configuration of the start / stop condition or related indication information may be included in the specific measurement configuration. When multiple measurement configurations are determined to be effective based on the start / stop condition, the specific measurement configuration is effective; when multiple measurement configurations are determined to be invalid based on the start / stop condition, the specific measurement configuration is invalid.

[0435] Determining whether the measurement configuration is effective through the start and stop conditions can meet the requirements for measurement configuration in different situations and make the measurement configuration adaptable to different scenarios.

[0436] In one embodiment, the first indication information is used to indicate a start / stop condition of whether one or more measurement configurations are effective, including:

[0437] The start and stop conditions are associated with one or more identifications of the measurement configurations; and / or

[0438] The measurement configuration includes identification of the start and stop conditions.

[0439] In a possible implementation, a measurement configuration has a unique identifier, which is used to uniquely indicate the measurement configuration.

[0440] In a possible implementation, a start / stop condition has a unique identifier for uniquely indicating the start / stop condition.

[0441] The start / stop condition is associated with the identifier of the measurement configuration. Whether the measurement configuration corresponding to the identifier is effective is determined based on the start / stop condition.

[0442] The identifier of the start and stop condition for determining whether the measurement configuration is effective may be included in the measurement configuration to achieve a corresponding relationship.

[0443] In one embodiment, the start / stop condition is associated with at least one of the following:

[0444] the height of the UE;

[0445] the speed of the UE;

[0446] the location of the UE;

[0447] The movement trajectory of the UE;

[0448] Time information.

[0449] The start / stop conditions may be conditions for determining whether the measurement configuration is effective based on the UE's altitude / speed / position / time / trajectory. Here, the judgment conditions may include, but are not limited to, actual values ​​of altitude / speed / position / time / trajectory, or rates of change of altitude / speed / position / time / trajectory.

[0450] In one possible implementation, the condition based on height may be that the height of the UE is greater than (or less than) a height threshold, and / or the height change rate is greater than (or less than) a height change rate threshold.

[0451] In one possible implementation, the condition based on speed (which may include: vertical and / or horizontal and / or 3D speed) may be that the speed of the UE is greater than (or less than) a speed threshold, and / or the speed change rate is greater than (or less than) a speed change rate threshold.

[0452] In a possible implementation, the position of the UE may be a coordinate position of the UE, or a relative position based on a predetermined reference point. For example, the position of the UE may be the distance between the UE and a base station.

[0453] Exemplarily, the location-based condition may be that the distance between the UE and the cell reference location (eg, base station location) is greater than (or less than) a distance threshold, and / or the distance change rate is greater than (or less than) a distance change rate threshold.

[0454] In one possible implementation, the time information may be used to indicate the time when the measurement configuration takes effect and / or becomes invalid. The time-based condition may be that the measured time is greater than (or less than) a threshold value; or that the measured time is within a specific time range.

[0455] In one possible implementation, the trajectory-based condition may be an offset between the UE's actual motion trajectory and a predetermined trajectory, and whether the measurement configuration is effective may be determined based on the trajectory offset. The trajectory-based condition may be a correspondence between the UE's motion trajectory and whether the measurement configuration is effective. For example, a motion trajectory at a first altitude may correspond to a measurement configuration failure, while a motion trajectory at a second altitude may correspond to a measurement configuration effectiveness, where the first altitude is different from the second altitude.

[0456] In one embodiment, the receiving the first indication information includes:

[0457] receiving a first message, where the first message includes the first indication information and the measurement configuration; or,

[0458] A first message is received, where the first message includes the measurement configuration, and the measurement configuration includes the first indication information.

[0459] The first indication information may be carried in the measurement configuration.

[0460] In a possible implementation manner, the first indication information is used to determine whether the measurement configuration carrying the first indication information is effective.

[0461] In a possible implementation manner, the first indication information is used to determine whether the measurement configuration carrying the first indication information and / or other measurement configurations are effective.

[0462] Exemplarily, the first indication information may correspond to a specific measurement configuration, and the first indication information may be included in the configuration of the specific measurement configuration, for example, included in a reporting configuration. When the enabling condition is met, the reporting configuration is effective.

[0463] Exemplarily, the first indication information may be included in the corresponding measurement configuration, and is used to indicate whether the specific configuration information is valid (or invalid). For example, if the first indication information is 1, it indicates that it is valid, otherwise it is invalid.

[0464] In one embodiment, the first indication information is carried in one of the following:

[0465] Radio Resource Control RRC message;

[0466] Media Access Control Element MAC CE;

[0467] Downlink control information DCI.

[0468] In a possible implementation, the first indication information may be sent to the UE separately via an RRC message, MAC CE, or DCI.

[0469] In a possible implementation, the first indication information and the measurement configuration may be sent together to the UE through an RRC message, a MAC CE, or a DCI.

[0470] In an embodiment, the first indication information is further used to instruct the UE to perform measurement and / or perform measurement reporting based on the effective measurement configuration.

[0471] In response to determining that a certain measurement configuration is effective according to the first indication information, the UE starts measurement and / or measurement reporting corresponding to the corresponding measurement configuration.

[0472] In one embodiment, the first indication information is further used to instruct the UE to stop currently ongoing measurement execution and / or measurement reporting associated with the measurement configuration.

[0473] In response to determining, according to the first indication information, that a certain measurement configuration is invalid, the UE stops the corresponding measurement and / or measurement reporting if measurement and / or measurement reporting corresponding to the measurement configuration is in progress.

[0474] In response to determining, according to the first indication information, that a certain measurement configuration is invalid, the UE does not start corresponding measurement and / or measurement reporting.

[0475] like Figure 9 As shown, this exemplary embodiment provides an information transmission method, which can be performed by a user equipment UE, including:

[0476] Step 901: Send a measurement report, where the measurement report carries second indication information, where the second indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0477] The measurement configuration currently in effect for the UE;

[0478] The measurement configuration of the UE is currently invalid.

[0479] The UE can report the effectiveness and failure of its own measurement configuration to the network through measurement reports, thereby improving the transparency of information between the UE and network equipment.

[0480] The following provides a specific example in combination with any of the above embodiments:

[0481] Determine whether the measurement configuration is valid by either of the following two points:

[0482] 1) Determine whether the measurement configuration is effective based on the UE's start and stop conditions (altitude / speed / position / time / motion trajectory).

[0483] For example, when the height of the UE is greater than (or less than) a threshold value, the corresponding measurement configuration takes effect.

[0484] For example, when the height of the UE is greater than (or less than) a threshold value, the corresponding measurement configuration is invalid.

[0485] Exemplarily, if the measurement configuration is invalid, the corresponding measurement is not started and / or the measurement report is not triggered.

[0486] Exemplarily, if the measurement configuration changes from valid to invalid, the corresponding measurement and / or measurement reporting is stopped.

[0487] 2) Determine whether the measurement configuration is effective based on the indication information on the network side (ie, the first indication information).

[0488] Specifically determining whether the measurement configuration is effective according to the first indication information includes one or more of the following:

[0489] 1. The UE receives configuration information from the network side, the configuration information including measurement configuration and first indication information of the configuration information (enabling condition or disabling condition; or enabling indication information or disabling indication information). The UE performs measurement according to the configuration information from the network side. The enabling condition and / or disabling condition are the aforementioned start / stop conditions, and the enabling indication information and / or disabling indication information are the first indication information.

[0490] 2. Measurement configuration includes but is not limited to one or more measurement identifiers, one or more measurement objects, one or more reporting configurations, one or more measurement gap configurations, one or more SMTC configurations, etc.

[0491] 3. In response to the UE enabling a certain measurement configuration, the UE performs measurements according to the measurement configuration, and measurement reporting and other processes

[0492] a) For example, if the measurement configuration is a measurement Gap configuration, the UE uses the measurement Gap configuration information to perform measurements.

[0493] b) For example, the UE enables a certain measurement identifier, performs measurement of the measurement object associated with this measurement identifier, and performs measurement reporting according to the reporting configuration associated with this measurement identifier

[0494] c) For example, if the UE enables a certain reporting configuration and there is an associated measurement identifier, the UE performs the corresponding measurement and performs the corresponding reporting configuration

[0495] 4. In response to the UE disabling a certain measurement configuration, if measurement and / or measurement reporting corresponding to the measurement configuration is in progress, stop the corresponding measurement and / or measurement reporting, or do not start the corresponding measurement and / or measurement reporting.

[0496] 5. The enabling condition or disabling condition may correspond to all measurement configurations stored in the UE, or may correspond to part of the measurement configurations, or may correspond to a specific measurement configuration.

[0497] a) For example, the enabling condition or disabling condition may correspond to all measurement configurations stored in the UE. When enabled, all measurement configurations stored in the UE are effective. When disabled, all are invalid and the UE does not start measurement.

[0498] b) For example, an enabling condition or disabling condition may correspond to a portion of the measurement configuration stored in the UE. Taking the enabling condition as an example, an enabling condition may be associated with one or more measurement configurations (e.g., associated with multiple reporting configuration information. For example, the enabling condition configuration may include an identifier of the associated configuration information, or the associated configuration information may include an identifier of the enabling condition). When the condition is met, the multiple associated measurement configurations are effective; otherwise, they are invalid. Similarly, the usage of the disabling condition can be derived.

[0499] c) For example, the enabling condition or disabling condition may correspond to a specific measurement configuration, and the configuration of the enabling condition may be included in the configuration of the specific measurement configuration, such as in the reporting configuration. When the enabling condition is met, the reporting configuration is effective.

[0500] 6. The enabling condition can be based on the UE's altitude / speed / position / time / trajectory; the disabling condition can be based on the UE's altitude / speed / position / time / trajectory or the disabling condition:

[0501] a) For example, the height-based condition may be that the UE's height is greater than (or less than) a threshold value, and the height change rate is greater than (or less than) a threshold value.

[0502] b) For example, the speed (vertical / horizontal / 3D speed)-based condition may be that the UE speed is greater than (or less than) a threshold value.

[0503] c) For example, the location-based condition may be that the distance between the UE and the base station is greater than (or less than)

[0504] Threshold

[0505] d) For example, the time-based condition may be that the measured time is greater than (or less than) a threshold value; or that the measured time is within a specific time range.

[0506] e) Exemplarily, the trajectory-based condition may be that if the trajectory of the UE changes, the measurement configuration automatically becomes invalid.

[0507] 7. The enabling indication information may correspond to all measurement configurations stored in the UE, or may correspond to part of the measurement configuration, or may correspond to a specific measurement configuration. The disabling indication information may correspond to all measurement configurations stored in the UE, or may correspond to part of the measurement configuration, or may correspond to a specific measurement configuration.

[0508] a) For example, the enable indication information can also be used to indicate that all existing measurement configurations of the UE are valid; the disable indication information can also be used to indicate that all existing measurement configurations of the UE are invalid.

[0509] b) For example, the enable indication information may also be used to indicate the identifiers of one or more enabled measurement configurations; the disable indication information may also be used to indicate the identifiers of one or more disabled measurement configurations. For example, the enable indication information indicates the identifier of an enabled measurement object, or a measurement identifier, or an identifier of a reporting configuration; the disable indication information indicates the identifier of a disabled measurement object, or a measurement identifier, or an identifier of a reporting configuration.

[0510] c) For example, the enable indication information may be included in the corresponding measurement configuration to indicate that the configuration information of this feature is effective, and the disable indication information may be included in the corresponding measurement configuration to indicate that the configuration information of this feature is invalid. For example, a specific value of 1 indicates that it is effective, otherwise it is invalid.

[0511] 8. The enabling condition or disabling condition or enabling / disabling indication information is configured by the network and can be sent to the UE via an RRC message, MAC CE, or DCI. This information can be sent to the UE together with the measurement configuration or separately.

[0512] 9. Include in the measurement report the measurement configuration currently enabled and / or disabled by the UE (e.g., the identifier corresponding to the enabled or disabled measurement configuration)

[0513] Example 1: If the reporting configuration information (event trigger) contains the enabling condition,

[0514] A. The measurement execution process is:

[0515] In a possible implementation, the measurement configuration received by the UE includes a start / stop condition. When the measurement configuration is determined to be effective according to the start / stop condition, the UE performs measurement; otherwise, the UE does not perform measurement.

[0516] Exemplarily, for each measurement identifier (e.g., represented as measId) in a measurement identifier list (e.g., represented as measIdList) included in a UE variable (e.g., represented as VarMeasConfig) storing a measurement configuration of the UE, if the corresponding reporting configuration includes an enabling condition (disabling condition) and the enabling condition is met (or the disabling condition is not met), for example, the UE height is greater than a threshold value, a subsequent process is executed to obtain a measurement result of the corresponding measurement object.

[0517] In a possible implementation, if the measurement configuration received by the UE does not include the start / stop condition, the UE performs measurement according to the measurement configuration.

[0518] Exemplarily, for each measurement identifier in the measurement identifier list included in the UE variable storing the measurement configuration of the UE, if the corresponding reporting configuration does not include an enabling condition (disabling condition), a subsequent process is executed to obtain the measurement result of the corresponding measurement object.

[0519] B. The measurement reporting process is as follows:

[0520] In a possible implementation, the measurement configuration received by the UE includes a start / stop condition. When the measurement configuration is determined to be effective according to the start / stop condition, measurement reporting is performed; otherwise, measurement reporting is not performed.

[0521] Exemplarily, for each measurement identifier in the measurement identifier list included in the UE variable storing the measurement configuration, if the corresponding reporting configuration contains an enabling condition (disabling condition) and the enabling condition is met (or the disabling condition is not met) (or does not contain the enabling condition (disabling condition)), if this reporting configuration is event triggered and the entry condition is met, measurement reporting is started.

[0522] In one possible implementation, the measurement configuration received by the UE includes a start / stop condition. If the measurement configuration is determined to be invalid according to the start / stop condition and a leave reporting indication is configured, the UE performs measurement reporting and indicates that the measurement reporting is caused by disabling the measurement configuration and / or clearing the triggering cell list and / or removing the measurement reporting entity corresponding to the measurement identifier in the UE variable storing the measurement configuration and / or stopping the periodic reporting timer corresponding to the measurement identifier.

[0523] Exemplarily, for each measurement identifier in the measurement identifier list included in the UE variable storing the measurement configuration, if the corresponding reporting configuration includes an enabling condition (disabling condition) and the enabling condition is not met (or the disabling condition is met), then:

[0524] If the leave reporting indication is configured, a measurement report is triggered, and the measurement report can indicate that the measurement report is caused by the measurement configuration being disabled and / or

[0525] Clear the trigger cell list and / or

[0526] Remove the measurement reporting entity and / or

[0527] Stop the periodic reporting timer corresponding to this measurement identifier.

[0528] In one possible implementation, if the measurement configuration received by the UE does not include a start or stop condition, measurement reporting is performed according to the measurement configuration. Exemplarily, for each measurement identifier in the measurement identifier list included in the UE variable storing the measurement configuration, if the corresponding reporting configuration does not include an enabling condition (disabling condition), and if the reporting configuration is event-triggered and the entry condition is met, measurement reporting is initiated.

[0529] Example 2: If the enabling condition is associated with a set of measurement identifiers (event trigger),

[0530] A. The measurement execution process is:

[0531] In a possible implementation, the identifier of the measurement configuration received by the UE is associated with a start / stop condition. When the measurement configuration is determined to be effective according to the start / stop condition, the UE performs measurement; otherwise, the UE does not perform measurement.

[0532] Exemplarily, for each measurement identifier in the measurement identifier list contained in the UE variable storing the measurement configuration of the UE, if this measurement identifier is associated with an enabling condition (disabling condition) and the enabling condition is met (or the disabling condition is not met), the subsequent process is executed to obtain the measurement result of the corresponding measurement object according to the associated reporting configuration.

[0533] In a possible implementation, if the identifier of the measurement configuration received by the UE is not associated with the start / stop condition, the UE performs measurement according to the measurement configuration.

[0534] Exemplarily, for each measurement identifier in the measurement identifier list contained in the UE variable storing the measurement configuration, if this measurement identifier is not associated with an enabling condition (disabling condition), a subsequent process is executed to obtain the measurement result of the corresponding measurement object according to the associated reporting configuration.

[0535] B. The measurement reporting process is as follows:

[0536] In a possible implementation, the identifier of the measurement configuration received by the UE is associated with a start / stop condition. If the measurement configuration is determined to be effective according to the start / stop condition, measurement reporting is performed; otherwise, measurement reporting is not performed.

[0537] Exemplarily, in a possible implementation, the identifier of the measurement configuration received by the UE is associated with the start / stop condition. Then, when it is determined according to the start / stop condition that the measurement configuration is effective, measurement reporting is performed; otherwise, measurement reporting is not performed.

[0538] For each measurement identifier in the measurement identifier list contained in the UE variable storing the measurement configuration, if this measurement identifier is associated with an enabling condition (disabling condition) and the enabling condition is met (or the disabling condition is not met), if this reporting configuration is event triggered and the entry condition is met, measurement reporting is started.

[0539] In one possible implementation, the identifier of the measurement configuration received by the UE is associated with the start / stop condition. If the measurement configuration is determined to be invalid according to the start / stop condition and a leave reporting indication is configured, then measurement reporting is performed, and it is indicated that the measurement reporting is caused by the measurement configuration being disabled and / or the triggering cell list is cleared and / or the measurement reporting entity corresponding to this measurement identifier is removed in the VarMeasReportList and / or the periodic reporting timer corresponding to this measurement identifier is stopped.

[0540] Exemplarily, for each measurement identifier in the measurement identifier list included in the UE variable storing the measurement configuration, if the measurement identifier is associated with an enabling condition (disabling condition) and the enabling condition is not met (or the disabling condition is met), the measurement report corresponding to the measurement identifier is:

[0541] If the leave reporting indication is configured, a measurement report is triggered, and the measurement report can indicate that the measurement report is caused by the measurement configuration being disabled and / or

[0542] Clear the trigger cell list and / or

[0543] Remove the measurement reporting entity and / or

[0544] Stop the periodic reporting timer corresponding to this measurement identifier.

[0545] In a possible implementation, if the identifier of the measurement configuration received by the UE is not associated with the start / stop condition, the UE performs measurement reporting according to the measurement configuration.

[0546] Exemplarily, for each measurement identifier in the measurement identifier list included in the UE variable storing the measurement configuration, if this measurement identifier is not associated with an enabling condition (disabling condition), if this reporting configuration is event triggered and the entry condition is met, measurement reporting is started.

[0547] As mentioned above, the UE variable storing the measurement configuration may include configurations of measurements performed by the UE, covering intra-frequency, inter-frequency, and inter-RAT mobility-related measurements.

[0548] In the above, the UE variable storing the measurement reporting related information includes the measurement related information when the triggering condition is satisfied.
