[0235] From the 3rd generation mobile communication (3G) to the 5th generation mobile communication (5G), RRC signaling configuration has been recognized as a semi-static process, which is usually completed through RRC layer signaling interaction between the base station and the terminal / user equipment (UE). Figure 1 It is the most commonly used RRC reconfiguration process, such as Figure 1 As shown, most of the connection state parameters are configured through the RRC reconfiguration process.

[0236] RRC signaling uses Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB), which must be processed by Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) / Radio Link Control (RLC) / Media Access Control (MAC) and the physical layer. The connected RRC signaling is in Acknowledged Mode (AM) mode, which can perform Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) retransmission (physical layer retransmission) and Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) retransmission (RLC layer retransmission). Although reliability is guaranteed, the transmission delay is relatively large. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the RRC process delay, such as Figure 2 As shown, on the downlink (Down Link, DL), the network sends an RRC DL command to the UE for uplink authorization (UL grant), and on the uplink (Up Link, UL), the UE sends an RRC UL response to the network. It can be seen that after the UE receives the RRC signaling, there is still a delay before the RRC signaling takes effect.

[0237] RRC parameters are usually considered to be parameters that remain unchanged for a long time, that is, semi-static parameters. With the evolution of 6G, service rate and latency requirements are increasing, and the effective range of UE at any location in the network is becoming more and more important. Semi-static RRC parameter configuration can no longer meet the flexible service requirements and user-centric requirements of 6G.

[0238] In the related art, RRC parameters are semi-statically configured, and the RRC signaling takes a long time to take effect, which cannot meet the increasingly diversified services and user-centric user satisfaction requirements of 6G. 6G needs to consider the flexible and dynamic use of RRC parameters while maintaining the reliability of RRC signaling.

[0239] Based on the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application propose an RRC parameter management method, device and storage medium. According to the association relationship between the configuration object and the RRC parameter, the RRC parameters under different configuration objects are determined and the RRC parameters are validated. This can avoid repeated configuration or update of RRC parameters under different configuration objects, improve the efficiency of RRC parameter management, and reduce the delay of RRC parameter management.

[0240] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0241] Figure 3 It is one of the flow charts of the RRC parameter management method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an RRC parameter management method, and the execution subject may be a terminal, such as a mobile phone. The method includes:

[0242] Step 101: Determine an association relationship between a configuration object and a first RRC parameter.

[0243] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present application, the UE first determines an association relationship between the configuration object and the first RRC parameter.

[0244] Configuration objects include one or more of the following:

[0245] Network nodes;

[0246] Physical layer resources.

[0247] The network nodes include one or more of the following:

[0248] Central Unit (CU);

[0249] Distributed Unit (DU);

[0250] TRP;

[0251] TRP group;

[0252] Community;

[0253] Cell Group (CG).

[0254] Physical layer resources include one or more of the following:

[0255] Working frequency band;

[0256] Bandwidth Part (BWP);

[0257] Beam.

[0258] In some embodiments, the association relationship between the configuration object and the first RRC parameter is predefined by the protocol.

[0259] In some embodiments, the association relationship between the configuration object and the first RRC parameter is configured by a network device. For example, the network device sends a configuration message to the UE, and the configuration message includes the association relationship between the configuration object and the first RRC parameter, or includes indication information for indicating the association relationship between the configuration object and the first RRC parameter. The UE receives the configuration message sent by the network device, and then determines the association relationship between the configuration object and the first RRC parameter.

[0260] The first RRC parameter is a differentiated RRC parameter, which is relative to the common RRC parameter, that is, not all configuration objects are associated with the same RRC parameter, for example, only some configuration objects are associated with the same RRC parameter, or all configuration objects are associated with different RRC parameters. The common RRC parameter is the same RRC parameter associated with all configuration objects, that is, the common RRC parameter is valid in different configuration objects.

[0261] In some embodiments, the first RRC parameter includes one or more of the following:

[0262] Protocol stack configuration parameters;

[0263] Reliability configuration parameters.

[0264] In some embodiments, the protocol stack configuration parameters include one or more of the following:

[0265] Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) layer configuration parameters, such as the mapping of Quality of Service (QoS) flows to Data Radio Bearers (DRBs), whether reflective QoS is supported, etc.

[0266] PDCP layer configuration parameters, such as whether PDCP layer cascading is supported, PDCP sequence number (SN) length, header compression, encryption algorithm, etc.;

[0267] RLC layer configuration parameters, such as RLC SN length, whether RLC segmentation and re-segmentation are supported, etc.

[0268] Physical layer resource configuration parameters, for example, Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) / Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) / Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) / Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) related configurations, random access resource configurations, etc.

[0269] In some embodiments, the reliability configuration parameters include one or more of the following:

[0270] HARQ configuration parameters, such as feedback resources, feedback signaling design, retransmission configuration parameters, etc.

[0271] ARQ configuration parameters, such as whether RLC retransmission is supported, RLC status report configuration, etc.

[0272] PDCP retransmission configuration parameters, such as whether PDCP retransmission is supported, the number of PDCP retransmissions, etc.

[0273] Step 102: Based on the first configuration object and the association relationship, a first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is validated.

[0274] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the RRC parameter management process provided by the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown, specifically, in an embodiment of the present application, after the UE determines the association relationship between the configuration object and the first RRC parameter, the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is validated based on the first configuration object and the association relationship.

[0275] The first configuration object is an object that the UE will use when interacting with the network. The first configuration object may be a network node or a physical layer resource.

[0276] When the first configuration object is associated with / or accessed (eg, connected to a corresponding TRP or TRP group), the first RRC parameter is validated. The validation decision method may adopt a variety of different methods.

[0277] For example, a feasible method is: when the network side detects (for example, through radio resource management (RRM) measurement detection) that the UE is about to be associated with a pre-configured object, or has been associated with a pre-configured object (for example, the UE has sent an uplink detection signal), the MAC layer signaling Media Access Control Control Element (MAC CE) or physical layer signaling Downlink Control Information (DCI) indicates the effective RRC parameter set of the UE.

[0278] For another example, when the UE accesses a configuration object, the corresponding RRC parameters are automatically effective. The network side determines the effective RRC parameters through the uplink transmission sent by the UE on the configuration object according to the corresponding RRC parameters. This method is particularly suitable for pre-configured physical layer resources. The network side reserves the corresponding physical layer resource configuration information for the UE, and the physical layer configuration parameters are effective when the UE uses the physical layer resources using the corresponding configuration information.

[0279] In the embodiment of the present application, validating the first RRC parameter means making the first RRC parameter effective, or activating the first RRC parameter.

[0280] The RRC parameter management method provided in the embodiment of the present application determines the RRC parameters under different configuration objects and validates the RRC parameters according to the association relationship between the configuration objects and the RRC parameters, which can avoid repeated configuration or update of the RRC parameters under different configuration objects, improve the efficiency of RRC parameter management, and reduce the delay of RRC parameter management.

[0281] In some embodiments, determining the association relationship between the configuration object and the first RRC parameter includes:

[0282] Acquire a configuration message sent by a network device; the configuration message includes an association relationship between a configuration object and a first RRC parameter, or includes indication information for indicating an association relationship between the configuration object and the first RRC parameter;

[0283] An association relationship between the configuration object and the first RRC parameter is determined based on the configuration message.

[0284] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the association relationship between the configuration object and the first RRC parameter is configured by the network device.

[0285] The network device sends a configuration message to the UE, where the configuration message includes an association relationship between the configuration object and the first RRC parameter, or includes indication information for indicating an association relationship between the configuration object and the first RRC parameter.

[0286] The UE receives a configuration message sent by the network device, and then determines an association relationship between the configuration object and the first RRC parameter.

[0287] In the RRC parameter management method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the association relationship between the configuration object and the first RRC parameter is configured by the network device, which improves the flexibility of the system and expands the application scope of the system.

[0288] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0289] Determine a second RRC parameter; the second RRC parameter is valid in different configuration objects.

[0290] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present application, before determining the possibly different first RRC parameters associated with each configuration object, the UE may also determine a second RRC parameter, namely a common RRC parameter (or referred to as a universal RRC parameter), which is valid in different configuration objects.

[0291] The common RRC parameters may be pre-defined by the protocol, or may be configured by the network.

[0292] For example, the network device sends a message including the second RRC parameter to the UE.

[0293] The UE receives a message including the second RRC parameter sent by the network device, and then determines the second RRC parameter.

[0294] The RRC parameter management method provided in the embodiment of the present application, in which the UE determines the common RRC parameters, can avoid repeated configuration or update of the common RRC parameters under different configuration objects, thereby improving the efficiency of RRC parameter management and reducing the delay of RRC parameter management.

[0295] In some embodiments, based on the first configuration object and the association relationship, validating the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object includes:

[0296] Determine a first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object based on the first configuration object and the association relationship, and receive indication information sent by a network device to indicate that the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is effective;

[0297] The first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is made effective.

[0298] Specifically, the method for determining the effectiveness of the first RRC parameter can adopt a variety of different methods. In an embodiment of the present application, when the network side detects (for example, through radio resource management (RRM) measurement detection) that the UE is about to be associated with a pre-configured object, or has been associated with a pre-configured object (for example, the UE has sent an uplink detection signal), the MAC layer signaling media access control control element (Media Access Control Control Element, MAC CE) or the physical layer signaling downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI) indicates the effective RRC parameter set of the UE.

[0299] The UE determines the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object based on the first configuration object and the association relationship between the configuration object and the first RRC parameter, and receives indication information sent by the network device to indicate that the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is effective, and the indication information indicates the effective RRC parameter set of the UE.

[0300] After receiving the indication information, the UE takes effect on the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object.

[0301] The RRC parameter management method provided in the embodiment of the present application determines the RRC parameters under different configuration objects and validates the RRC parameters according to the association relationship between the configuration objects and the RRC parameters, which can avoid repeated configuration or update of the RRC parameters under different configuration objects, improve the efficiency of RRC parameter management, and reduce the delay of RRC parameter management.

[0302] In some embodiments, based on the first configuration object and the association relationship, validating the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object includes:

[0303] A first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is determined based on the first configuration object and the association relationship, and the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is validated by the terminal.

[0304] Specifically, the method for determining the effectiveness of the first RRC parameter can adopt a variety of different methods. In an embodiment of the present application, when the UE accesses the configuration object, the corresponding RRC parameter is automatically effective. The network side determines the effective RRC parameter through the uplink transmission sent by the UE on the configuration object according to the corresponding RRC parameter. This method is particularly suitable for the case of pre-configured physical layer resources. The network side reserves the corresponding physical layer resource configuration information for the UE, and the physical layer configuration parameter is effective when the UE uses the physical layer resource using the corresponding configuration information.

[0305] The RRC parameter management method provided in the embodiment of the present application determines the RRC parameters under different configuration objects and validates the RRC parameters according to the association relationship between the configuration objects and the RRC parameters, which can avoid repeated configuration or update of the RRC parameters under different configuration objects, improve the efficiency of RRC parameter management, and reduce the delay of RRC parameter management.

[0306] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0307] Send feedback information to the network device, indicating that the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is effective.

[0308] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, when the UE accesses a configuration object, after the corresponding RRC parameters are automatically effective, feedback information indicating that the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is effective may also be sent to the network device.

[0309] The network device receives feedback information sent by the UE and used to indicate that the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is effective, and determines that the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is effective.

[0310] In some embodiments, the feedback information used to characterize the effectiveness of the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is carried by one or more of the following messages:

[0311] MAC CE message;

[0312] Uplink Control Information (UCI) message.

[0313] The RRC parameter management method provided in the embodiment of the present application determines the RRC parameters under different configuration objects and validates the RRC parameters according to the association relationship between the configuration objects and the RRC parameters, which can avoid repeated configuration or update of the RRC parameters under different configuration objects, improve the efficiency of RRC parameter management, and reduce the delay of RRC parameter management.

[0314] In some embodiments, based on the first configuration object and the association relationship, validating the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object includes:

[0315] Determine a first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object based on the first configuration object and the association relationship, and send feedback information indicating that the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is effective to the network device;

[0316] The first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is made effective.

[0317] Specifically, the method for determining the effectiveness of the first RRC parameter can adopt a variety of different methods. In an embodiment of the present application, before accessing the configuration object, the UE sends a new RRC parameter (first RRC parameter) effectiveness feedback information to the network side, and the new RRC parameter becomes effective after the feedback information is sent.

[0318] The RRC parameter management method provided in the embodiment of the present application determines the RRC parameters under different configuration objects and validates the RRC parameters according to the association relationship between the configuration objects and the RRC parameters, which can avoid repeated configuration or update of the RRC parameters under different configuration objects, improve the efficiency of RRC parameter management, and reduce the delay of RRC parameter management.

[0319] In some embodiments, the sending, to the network device, feedback information indicating that the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is effective includes:

[0320] Sending feedback information indicating that the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is effective to the network device by using the second configuration object; or,

[0321] Sending, through a first configuration object and using a first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object, feedback information indicating that the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is effective to a network device; or,

[0322] Sending feedback information indicating that the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is effective to the network device by using the second configuration object and the preset RRC parameter; or,

[0323] Sending, through the first configuration object and using the preset RRC parameters, feedback information to the network device indicating that the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is effective;

[0324] The second configuration object is an object used when interacting with the network before interacting with the network through the first configuration object.

[0325] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the UE may send feedback information of the effectiveness of the first RRC parameter to the network in a variety of different ways.

[0326] For example, the UE sends feedback information characterizing that the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is effective to the network device through the second configuration object and the first RRC parameter associated with the second configuration object. The network device receives feedback information characterizing that the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is effective, sent by the UE, through the second configuration object and the first RRC parameter associated with the second configuration object.

[0327] For another example, the UE sends feedback information characterizing that the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is effective to the network device through the first configuration object and the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object. The network device receives feedback information characterizing that the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is effective, sent by the UE, through the first configuration object and the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object.

[0328] For another example, the UE sends feedback information to the network device through the second configuration object and the preset RRC parameters, indicating that the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is effective. The network device receives feedback information sent by the UE and indicating that the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is effective through the second configuration object and the preset RRC parameters.

[0329] For another example, the UE sends feedback information to the network device through the first configuration object and the preset RRC parameters, indicating that the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is effective. The network device receives feedback information sent by the UE and indicating that the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is effective through the first configuration object and the preset RRC parameters.

[0330] The preset RRC parameter may be effective for a group or all UEs, the number of which may be specified in the protocol, or the parameter may be a common RRC parameter.

[0331] The RRC parameter management method provided in the embodiment of the present application determines the RRC parameters under different configuration objects and validates the RRC parameters according to the association relationship between the configuration objects and the RRC parameters, which can avoid repeated configuration or update of the RRC parameters under different configuration objects, improve the efficiency of RRC parameter management, and reduce the delay of RRC parameter management.

[0332] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0333] Release a first RRC parameter associated with a second configuration object, where the second configuration object is an object used when interacting with the network before interacting with the network through the first configuration object.

[0334] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present application, if the configuration object is a network side entity (for example, DU, etc.) that requires signaling interaction, after the UE takes effect on the new RRC parameters on the new configuration object, the new configuration object sends a UE new RRC parameter effectiveness indication (or terminal departure indication) to the original configuration object (second configuration object).

[0335] The original configuration object releases the first RRC parameter associated with the UE, and at the same time, the UE also releases the first RRC parameter associated with the original configuration object.

[0336] In some embodiments, the release method of the RRC parameters of the original configuration object (which may include the first RRC parameters and / or the second RRC parameters) is one or more of the following:

[0337] Reconfiguring a first RRC parameter for a different configuration object by an RRC message;

[0338] After the UE determines to leave the corresponding configuration object, it sends an RRC parameter notification of releasing the original configuration object to the network side;

[0339] The network side and the UE side count the time during which the RRC parameters of the determined configuration object are not effective, and when the continuous length of time during which the RRC parameters of the configuration object are not used reaches a determined threshold, the RRC parameters of the configuration object are released.

[0340] The RRC parameter management method provided in the embodiment of the present application reduces the resource occupation of the UE and the network equipment and improves the processing efficiency of the UE and the network equipment by timely releasing unnecessary RRC parameters.

[0341] The method in the above embodiment is further described below with reference to several specific examples.

[0342] Example 1:

[0343] Figure 5 Schematic diagram of adaptive change of RRC parameters when UE moves between TRPs provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this example, the UE can adaptively change the RRC parameters when moving between TRP(G).

[0344] The network side pre-configures RRC parameter sets (which may include differentiated RRC parameters and common RRC parameters) for the UE respectively for TRP1, TRP2 and TRPG1 (composed of TRP3 and TRP4).

[0345] Step 1: The network side pre-configures differentiated RRC parameter sets under different TRPs and / or TRP groups (TRPGs) for the UE, which may specifically include a combination of one or more protocol stack configuration parameters and reliability configuration parameters.

[0346] Optionally, the network side configures common RRC parameters common to different configuration objects for the UE.

[0347] The UE receives differentiated RRC parameter sets for different TRPs or TRPGs pre-configured by the network side.

[0348] Step 2: When the network side detects that the UE is about to access a TRP or TRPG with different RRC parameters (for example, through RRM measurement configuration and UE measurement reporting), it uses a MAC CE or DCI command to instruct the UE to apply new RRC parameters; or, when the network side detects that the UE is accessing a TRP or TRPG with different RRC parameters (for example, through UE uplink detection signal detection), it uses a MAC CE or DCI command to instruct the UE to apply new RRC parameters.

[0349] The UE receives the MAC CE or DCI command sent by the network side to change the activated RRC parameter set and applies the new RRC parameter set.

[0350] Step 3: The network side applies the RRC parameters corresponding to the new TRP or TRPG to perform signaling and data transmission with the UE.

[0351] The UE applies the RRC parameters corresponding to the new TRP or TRPG to perform signaling and data transmission with the network side.

[0352] Step 4: When the UE changes from RRC configuration 2 (under TRP2, corresponding to DU1) to RRC configuration 3 (under TRPG1, corresponding to DU2), the network side notifies DU1 through the interface between DU2 and DU1 that the UE has changed the RRC parameters, or adjusts the CU through the F1 interface between DU2 and CU that the UE has changed the RRC parameters.

[0353] Step 5: The network side releases the RRC parameters under the original TRP in one of the following ways:

[0354] a) Reconfigure RRC parameters for different configuration objects by RRC messages;

[0355] b) receiving the RRC parameter notification of releasing the original TRP or TRPG sent by the UE;

[0356] c) When it is determined that the UE does not use the RRC parameters of the original TRP, start the RRC parameter release timer. If the RRC parameters of the TRP have not been enabled after the timer reaches the determined threshold, release the stored RRC parameters corresponding to the TRP or TRPG.

[0357] Correspondingly, the UE releases the RRC parameters under the original TRP in one of the following ways:

[0358] a) Receive RRC messages to reconfigure RRC parameters for different configuration objects, apply new configurations, and release RRC parameters under the original TRP;

[0359] b) Sending a notification to the network side to release the RRC parameters of the original TRP or TRPG;

[0360] c) When the RRC parameters of the original TRP are not used, the RRC parameter release timer is started. If the RRC parameters of the TRP have not been enabled after the timer reaches a certain threshold, the stored RRC parameters corresponding to the TRP or TRPG are released.

[0361] Example 2:

[0362] In this example, the UE can adaptively change the RRC parameters when moving between TRP(G).

[0363] The network side pre-configures RRC parameter sets (which may include differentiated RRC parameters and common RRC parameters) for the UE respectively for TRP1, TRP2 and TRPG1 (composed of TRP3 and TRP4).

[0364] Step 1: The network side pre-configures differentiated RRC parameter sets under different TRPs and / or TRP groups (TRPGs) for the UE, which may specifically include a combination of one or more protocol stack configuration parameters and reliability configuration parameters.

[0365] Optionally, the network side configures common RRC parameters common to different configuration objects for the UE.

[0366] The UE receives differentiated RRC parameter sets for different TRPs or TRPGs pre-configured by the network side.

[0367] Step 2: When the network side receives an uplink transmission sent by the UE on a new TRP or TRPG, or receives an indication of the effectiveness of a new RRC parameter sent by the UE, it determines that a new RRC configuration is effective for the UE.

[0368] When the UE determines to access a new TRP or TRPG, it sends a new RRC parameter effectiveness indication to the network side in the original TRP, or sends a new RRC parameter effectiveness indication to the network side in the new TRP, or directly accesses the new TRP and sends uplink transmission according to the RRC parameters of the new TRP.

[0369] Step 3: The network side applies the RRC parameters corresponding to the new TRP or TRPG to perform signaling and data transmission with the UE.

[0370] The UE applies the RRC parameters corresponding to the new TRP or TRPG to perform signaling and data transmission with the network side.

[0371] Step 4: When the UE changes from RRC configuration 2 (under TRP2, corresponding to DU1) to RRC configuration 3 (under TRPG1, corresponding to DU2), the network side notifies DU1 through the interface between DU2 and DU1 that the UE has changed the RRC parameters, or adjusts the CU through the F1 interface between DU2 and CU that the UE has changed the RRC parameters.

[0372] Step 5: The network side releases the RRC parameters under the original TRP in one of the following ways:

[0373] a) Reconfigure RRC parameters for different configuration objects by RRC messages;

[0374] b) receiving the RRC parameter notification of releasing the original TRP or TRPG sent by the UE;

[0375] c) When it is determined that the UE does not use the RRC parameters of the original TRP, start the RRC parameter release timer. If the RRC parameters of the TRP have not been enabled after the timer reaches the determined threshold, release the stored RRC parameters corresponding to the TRP or TRPG.

[0376] Correspondingly, the UE releases the RRC parameters under the original TRP in one of the following ways:

[0377] a) Receive RRC messages to reconfigure RRC parameters for different configuration objects, apply new configurations, and release RRC parameters under the original TRP;

[0378] b) Sending a notification to the network side to release the RRC parameters of the original TRP or TRPG;

[0379] c) When the RRC parameters of the original TRP are not used, the RRC parameter release timer is started. If the RRC parameters of the TRP have not been enabled after the timer reaches a certain threshold, the stored RRC parameters corresponding to the TRP or TRPG are released.

[0380] Example three:

[0381] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of RRC parameter adaptive change when UE accesses different working frequencies provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 6As shown, in this example, the UE can adaptively change the RRC parameters for different operating frequencies (f1 and f2).

[0382] The network side pre-configures RRC parameter sets (which may include differentiated RRC parameters and common RRC parameters) for the UE for the first working frequency (f1), the second working frequency (f2), and the third working frequency (f3). Among them, f1 corresponds to TRP1, f2 corresponds to TRP2, f3 corresponds to TRP3 and TRP4, and TRP3 and TRP4 constitute TRPG1.

[0383] Step 1: The network side pre-configures differentiated RRC parameter sets under different operating frequencies for the UE, which may specifically include a combination of one or more of protocol stack configuration parameters and reliability configuration parameters.

[0384] Optionally, the network side configures common RRC parameters common to different configuration objects for the UE.

[0385] The UE receives differentiated RRC parameter sets for different operating frequencies pre-configured by the network side.

[0386] Step 2: When the network side detects that the UE is about to change f1 to f2 (for example, through RRM measurement configuration and UE measurement reporting), it uses MAC CE or DCI command to instruct the UE to apply new RRC parameters; or, when the network side detects that the UE accesses the network through f2 (for example, through UE uplink detection signal detection), it uses MAC CE or DCI command to instruct the UE to apply new RRC parameters.

[0387] The UE receives the MAC CE or DCI command sent by the network side to change the activated RRC parameter set and applies the new RRC parameter set.

[0388] Step 3: The network side uses f2 to apply the RRC parameters corresponding to f2 to perform signaling and data transmission with the UE.

[0389] The UE uses the RRC parameters corresponding to f2 to perform signaling and data transmission with the network side.

[0390] Step 4: When the UE changes from f2 (under TRP2, corresponding to DU1) to f3 (under TRPG1, corresponding to DU2), the network side notifies DU1 through the interface between DU2 and DU1 that the UE has changed the RRC parameters, or adjusts the CU through the F1 interface between DU2 and CU that the UE has changed the RRC parameters.

[0391] Step 5: The network side releases the RRC parameters at the original working frequency in one of the following ways:

[0392] a) Reconfigure RRC parameters for different configuration objects by RRC messages;

[0393] b) receiving the RRC parameter notification for releasing the original working frequency sent by the UE;

[0394] c) When it is determined that the UE does not use the RRC parameters of the original working frequency, start the RRC parameter release timer. If the RRC parameters of the working frequency have not been enabled after the timer reaches a certain threshold, release the stored RRC parameters corresponding to the working frequency.

[0395] Correspondingly, the UE releases the RRC parameters under the original working frequency in one of the following ways:

[0396] a) receiving RRC messages to reconfigure RRC parameters for different configuration objects, applying new configurations, and releasing RRC parameters under the original working frequency;

[0397] b) Sending a notification to the network side to release the RRC parameters of the original working frequency;

[0398] c) When the RRC parameters of the original working frequency are not used, the RRC parameter release timer is started. If the RRC parameters of the working frequency have not been enabled after the timer reaches a certain threshold, the stored RRC parameters corresponding to the working frequency are released.

[0399] The embodiments of the present application can quickly apply new RRC parameters when the terminal accesses different network nodes (DU, TRP, TRPG, etc.) or accesses different physical layer resources (working frequency, etc.) to ensure continuous and reliable service data transmission, which is particularly suitable for user-centric networks.

[0400] Figure 7 This is a second flow chart of the RRC parameter management method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an RRC parameter management method, the execution subject of which may be a network device, such as a base station, etc. The method includes:

[0401] Step 201: Send a configuration message to the terminal; the configuration message includes an association relationship between a configuration object and a first RRC parameter, or includes indication information for indicating an association relationship between the configuration object and the first RRC parameter; the association relationship is used to validate the first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object.

[0402] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0403] A message including a second RRC parameter is sent to the terminal; the second RRC parameter is valid in different configuration objects.

[0404] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0405] Sending indication information to the terminal, indicating that a first RRC parameter associated with the first configuration object is effective.

[0406] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:
