[0033] To facilitate understanding, the background technology involved in this application is first introduced.

[0034] According to the current network deployment methods of domestic and foreign operators, the networking mode of EN-DC will be a hybrid of LTE and NR for a long time. Terminal devices supporting EN-DC can access Long Term Evolution (LTE) base stations and NR base stations at the same time, so that LTE base stations and NR base stations can provide communication services for terminal devices at the same time.

[0035] Measurement is a basic function of wireless communication mobility management. For wireless communication terminals that support ENDC, MCG needs to support 4G same-frequency, 4G different-frequency, and 5G different-system measurements. SCG also needs to support 5G same-frequency and 5G different-frequency measurements.

[0036] In the EN-DC scenario, the wireless communication terminal will terminate the MCG's neighboring cell NR measurement during the establishment of EN-DC, affecting the terminal's mobility performance; during EN-DC maintenance, the NR measurement scheduling of MCG and SCG is separated, affecting power consumption. At the same time, for terminals with limited NR measurement concurrency capabilities, it is difficult to take into account the NR measurement performance requirements of MCG and SCG.

[0037] Therefore, in order to solve the problems existing in the related technologies, the present invention proposes a communication control method, which ensures the mobility management performance of MCG by maintaining the NR inter-system frequency measurement of MCG during the establishment of NR services in the EN-DC scenario; adopts unified scheduling management to integrate the same NR frequency information, thereby reducing the power consumption of NR measurement frequencies, and at the same time enables the terminal to flexibly complete the measurement scheduling planning of MCG and SCGNR frequencies, thereby improving the flexibility and scalability of software system scheduling and the stability of the communication system.

A person skilled in the art can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions proposed in the embodiments of the present disclosure are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0042] Figure 1 A flow chart of a communication control method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure may be that in a terminal application scenario, the terminal supports at least a first communication mode and a second communication mode. Figure 1 As shown, the communication control method comprises steps 101-104.

[0043] Step 101: Obtain configuration information of a network device for a second cell, wherein the first cell is associated with a first communication mode, and the second cell is associated with a second communication mode.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, configuration information of a network device for a second cell is obtained, wherein the first cell is associated with the first communication mode, and the second cell is associated with the second communication mode, and a required frequency point information set is obtained.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first communication mode may be an LTE mode, and the second communication mode may be an NR mode.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first cell may be an LTE cell in an MCG, for example, the first cell may be an LTE primary cell in an MCG. The second cell may be an NR cell in an SCG, wherein the second cell is a qualified NR cell determined from a plurality of NR candidate cells, for example, the second cell may be an NR primary cell in an SCG.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the configuration information of the network device for the second cell may include NR resource allocation information, but is not limited to this, and may also include other information.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the network device completes the configuration of the second cell, that is, completes the NR configuration of the SCG cell, laying the foundation for the terminal to collect NR inter-frequency point information.

[0049] Step 102: Based on the configuration information, obtain a set of NR inter-system frequency information of the first cell and NR inter-frequency frequency information of the second cell.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal can obtain a set of NR inter-system frequency information of the first cell and NR inter-frequency frequency information of the second cell based on the configuration information to retain the same frequency to be measured and reduce the power consumption of the measured frequency.

[0051] For example, the terminal can collect the NR inter-system frequency information of the cell based on the LTE main cell configuration information of the MCG, and determine that the frequency set of the NR inter-system to be measured by the MCG is {F1, F2, F3}; it can collect the NR inter-frequency frequency information of the cell based on the NR main cell configuration information of the SCG, and determine that the inter-frequency frequency set of the NR to be measured by the SCG is {F3, F4, F5}, and then determine that the set of NR frequencies to be measured by EN-DC is {F1, F2, F3, F4, F5}.

[0052] Step 103: Perform uplink and downlink synchronization with the second cell through the first cell.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal may perform uplink and downlink synchronization with the second cell through the first cell to align the timing relationship between the terminal and the second cell.

[0054] Specifically, the terminal receives the synchronization information block broadcast by the network device. Based on the synchronization information block, the LTE side of the terminal notifies the NR side to synchronize the master information block (MIB), primary synchronization signal (PSS) and secondary synchronization signal (SSS) with the NR cell to complete the downlink synchronization between the terminal and the second cell.

[0055] Specifically, the terminal may receive uplink synchronization information sent by the network device, and complete uplink synchronization between the terminal and the second cell based on the uplink synchronization information.

[0056] Step 104: Perform scheduling planning on the frequency point information in the set through the first cell.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal can schedule the frequency information in the set through the first cell to achieve flexible measurement scheduling planning for the NR frequencies of MCG and SCG.

[0058] Specifically, the terminal can perform unified scheduling planning for NR inter-system frequency information and frequencies within the NR inter-frequency frequency set through the LTE main cell of MCG.

[0059] In summary, according to the communication control method proposed in the present disclosure, the method includes: obtaining, through the first cell, configuration information of the network device for the second cell, wherein the first cell is associated with the first communication mode, and the second cell is associated with the second communication mode; based on the configuration information, obtaining the NR inter-system frequency information of the first cell and the set of NR inter-frequency frequency information of the second cell; performing uplink and downlink synchronization with the second cell through the first cell; and scheduling and planning the frequency information in the set through the first cell. This method ensures the mobility management performance of the MCG by maintaining the NR inter-system frequency measurement of the MCG during the EN-DC establishment period; at the same time, unified scheduling management is adopted to integrate the same NR frequency information, thereby reducing the power consumption of the NR frequency measurement, and at the same time, the terminal can flexibly complete the measurement scheduling and planning of the NR frequency in the MCG and SCG, thereby improving the flexibility and scalability of the software system scheduling and the stability of the communication system.

[0060] Figure 2 A flow chart of a communication control method proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, in Figure 1 Based on the embodiment shown, before obtaining the configuration information of the network device for the second cell through the first cell in step 101, the communication control method further includes steps 201-204.

[0061] Step 201: Receive a system message sent by a network device.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal may receive a system message sent by a network device, wherein the system message carries first capability information, and the first capability information is used to indicate whether the first cell supports NR capability.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the system message may include MIB information, system information block 1 (SystemImformationBlock1, SIB1) and SIB2, but is not limited thereto and may also include other information.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first capability information may be SIB2 information, which includes whether the first cell has NR capability information.

[0065] For example, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal may receive a system message sent by a network device, and determine whether the LTE cell supports NR services through SIB2 information in the system message.

[0066] Step 202: Send second capability information to the network device.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal may send second capability information to the network device, where the second capability information is used to indicate whether the terminal supports the second communication mode. When the first cell supports NR capability and the terminal supports the second communication mode, the terminal establishes a connection with the cell to achieve a handshake between the terminal and the cell.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the form of the second capability information is not limited, and it is, for example, user equipment capability information (UECapabilityInformation).

[0069] Step 203: Receive, through the first cell, heterogeneous system measurement information configured by the network device.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal may receive, through the first cell, the inter-system measurement information configured by the network device and perform inter-system measurement on the first smallest NR inter-system frequency point information.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the heterogeneous system measurement information configured by the network device may include heterogeneous system measurement priority, reference signal reception quality (ReferenceSignalReceivingQualityr, RSRQ) measurement threshold, reference signal reception power (ReferenceSingalReceivingPower, RSRP) measurement threshold and reference signal strength indicator (ReferenceSingalStrengthIndicator, RSSI) measurement threshold, but is not limited to this and may also include other information.

[0072] Step 204: Perform heterosystem measurement on the NR heterosystem frequency information of the first cell according to the heterosystem measurement information to obtain the heterosystem measurement result.

[0073] In some examples of the present disclosure, the terminal may perform heterosystem measurement on the NR heterosystem frequency information of the first cell according to the heterosystem measurement information, obtain the heterosystem measurement result, and send the heterosystem measurement result to the network device.

[0074] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal may measure the NR inter-system frequency information of the LTE cell according to the inter-system measurement priority and the relevant set threshold, and determine the NR inter-system frequency that meets the set threshold.

[0075] Step 205: Send the heterogeneous system measurement result to the network device through the first cell, where the heterogeneous system measurement result is used to assist the network device in determining the configuration information of the second cell.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal sends the inter-system measurement result to the network device through the first cell, so as to assist the network device in determining the configuration information of the second cell.

[0077] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the NR inter-system frequency information results measured by the terminal NR mode are fed back to the LTE mode of the terminal, that is, the same chip of the terminal supports two modes. Since EN-DC has not been established at this time, the terminal reports the measured cell ID and the measurement results to the LTE cell through the LTE mode, and reports them to the network device through the LTE cell, so that the LTE network device can determine the NR cell for EN-DC establishment from the candidate cells according to the measurement results, and assist the network device in determining the NR resource allocation information of the NR cell.

[0078] It should be understood that any of the above steps 201-205 may be omitted or replaced in different embodiments. That is, in the absence of contradiction, the above steps may be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, and the optional methods or optional examples may be arbitrarily combined and may be arbitrarily combined with other implementation methods or embodiments.

[0079] In summary, according to the communication control method proposed in the present disclosure, the method includes: receiving a system message sent by a network device, wherein the system message carries first capability information, and the first capability information is used to indicate whether the first cell supports NR capability; sending second capability information to the network device, and the second capability information is used to indicate whether the terminal supports the second communication mode; receiving heterosystem measurement information configured by the network device through the first cell; performing heterosystem measurement on the NR heterosystem frequency information of the first cell according to the heterosystem measurement information to obtain heterosystem measurement results; sending heterosystem measurement results to the network device through the first cell, and the heterosystem measurement results are used to assist the network device in determining the configuration information of the second cell. This method receives a system message sent by a network device through a terminal to send its own supported capabilities to the network device, thereby realizing a handshake between the terminal and the first cell; by sending heterosystem measurement results to the network device, the network device is assisted in determining the configuration information of the second cell, thereby laying the foundation for the establishment of EN-DC.

[0080] Figure 3 A flow chart of a communication control method proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, in Figure 2 Based on the illustrated embodiment, step 204 is further explained, and the communication control method includes step 301 and step 302 .

[0081] Step 301: In a first communication mode, determine whether a heterogeneous system measurement condition is met according to heterogeneous system measurement information.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal may determine whether the frequency point to be measured meets the heterogeneous system measurement condition according to heterogeneous system measurement information in the first communication mode to decide whether to perform relevant steps of the second mode.

[0083] For example, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal can determine whether the frequency point to be measured meets the heterosystem measurement condition according to the system measurement priority, RSRQ measurement threshold, RSRP measurement threshold and RSSI measurement threshold contained in the heterosystem measurement information. The above embodiment is only an example, and the content and heterosystem measurement condition contained in the heterosystem measurement information may also be different from the above embodiment.

[0084] Step 302: When the heterogeneous system measurement conditions are met, start the time slot timing of the second communication mode, and perform heterogeneous system measurement on the NR heterogeneous system frequency point information in the second communication mode to obtain the heterogeneous system measurement results.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the heterosystem measurement conditions are met, the terminal turns on the time slot timing of the second communication mode, and in the second communication mode, performs heterosystem measurement on the NR heterosystem frequency information to obtain the heterosystem measurement results to assist the network in determining the second cell.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when the heterosystem measurement conditions are met, the terminal turns on the time slot timing of the second communication mode so that the terminal can plan to perform NR heterosystem measurements in the NR mode.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the heterosystem measurement results may include identifiers and measurement values ​​of multiple cells corresponding to each NR heterosystem frequency point.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the measurement result may be used to assist the network device in determining a cell whose measurement value meets a preset condition among multiple cells as the second cell.

[0089] In summary, according to the communication control method proposed in the present disclosure, the method includes: in the first communication mode, determining whether the heterosystem measurement conditions are met according to the heterosystem measurement information; when the heterosystem measurement conditions are met, turning on the time slot timing of the second communication mode, and in the second communication mode, performing heterosystem measurement on the NR heterosystem frequency information to obtain the heterosystem measurement results. This method determines whether the heterosystem measurement conditions are met, and when the heterosystem measurement conditions are met, obtains the heterosystem measurement results, thereby assisting the network in determining the second cell and laying the foundation for the establishment of EN-DC.

Figure 4 As shown, in Figure 1 Based on the illustrated embodiment, step 102 is further explained, and the communication control method includes step 401 and step 402.

[0091] Step 401, obtaining inter-frequency point information of a first cell, wherein the first cell is a current resident cell of a terminal.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal obtains the inter-frequency point information of the first cell, laying a foundation for determining the frequency point information in the set.

[0093] For example, the first cell is the LTE cell where the terminal is currently stationed. The terminal can obtain the LTE main cell of the MCG and can scan and collect the NR inter-system frequency information of the cell, but is not limited to this. The NR inter-system frequency information can also be collected by other means.

[0094] Step 402: Based on the configuration information, obtain the NR inter-frequency point information of the second cell.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal obtains the NR inter-frequency point information of the second cell based on the configuration information, laying the foundation for determining the frequency point information in the set.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the set includes NR inter-system frequency information and NR inter-frequency frequency information, and the set retains the same frequency information as the NR inter-system frequency information and the NR inter-frequency frequency information to reduce power consumption of measuring the frequency.

[0097] For example, the terminal generates a set of NR frequencies to be measured on the ENDC side through the collected NR inter-system frequency information and NR inter-frequency frequency information. For example, the frequency set of the NR inter-system to be measured in the MCG cell is {F1, F2, F3}, and the inter-frequency frequency set of the NR to be measured in the SCG cell is {F3, F4, F5}, then the set of NR frequencies to be measured in the EN-DC is {F1, F2, F3, F4, F5}.

[0098] In summary, according to the communication control method proposed in the present disclosure, the method includes: obtaining the inter-frequency frequency information of the first cell, wherein the first cell is the current resident cell of the terminal; based on the configuration information, obtaining the NR inter-frequency frequency information of the second cell, wherein the set includes NR inter-system frequency information and NR inter-frequency frequency information, and the set retains the NR inter-system frequency information and the same frequency information as the NR inter-frequency frequency information. This scheme reduces the power consumption of frequency measurement by retaining only the NR inter-system frequency information and the same frequency information as the NR inter-frequency frequency information in the set, while ensuring the measurement of the NR inter-system frequency during the establishment of EN-DC, thereby ensuring the mobility management performance of the MCG.

[0100] Step 501: Start downlink synchronization processing through the second cell to obtain downlink synchronization information of the second cell.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal may start downlink synchronization processing through the second cell to obtain downlink synchronization information of the second cell, thereby laying a foundation for correcting the synchronization information of the first cell.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal may receive a synchronization information block broadcast by a network device, and based on the synchronization information block, the terminal may start downlink synchronization processing through the second cell.

[0103] Step 502: Based on the downlink synchronization information of the second cell, the cell synchronization information of the measured heterogeneous system frequency point of the first cell is corrected, and the heterogeneous system frequency point to be measured of the first cell is measured.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, based on the downlink synchronization information of the second cell, the cell synchronization information correction of the measured inter-system frequency of the first cell may include the adjustment of the MIB frame number and the frame timing relationship, but is not limited to this, and may also include the adjustment of other synchronization information.

[0107] The present disclosure does not limit the manner in which the terminal performs uplink synchronization registration via the second cell.

[0110] Step 601: In a first communication mode, determine whether each frequency point information in a set meets a measurement threshold.

[0111] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal determines in the first communication mode whether each frequency point information in the set meets the measurement threshold, and completes the screening of the set to be measured.

[0112] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the measurement thresholds corresponding to different types of frequency information to be measured in the set may be different. That is, since the requirements of LTE cells and NR cells for frequency information may be different, the measurement thresholds of NR inter-system frequency information and NR inter-frequency frequency information are also different. For the same frequency information, if it meets any measurement threshold of the measurement thresholds of NR inter-system frequency information and NR inter-frequency frequency information, it can be determined that the frequency information meets the measurement threshold.

[0113] Step 602: If not, the frequency point information that does not meet the measurement threshold is deleted from the set to obtain an updated set.

[0114] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal may delete frequency point information that does not meet the measurement threshold from the set to obtain an updated set.

[0115] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, step 601 is optional, and whether to perform the above steps can be determined based on the frequency point information measurement result.

[0116] Step 603: In the first communication mode, serial and / or parallel measurement scheduling is performed on the frequency point information in the update set.

[0117] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal performs serial and / or parallel measurement scheduling on the frequency information in the update set in the first communication mode, so as to realize flexible measurement scheduling planning for the NR frequency points of MCG and SCG, and avoid resource preemption due to simultaneous scheduling of the terminal LTE mode and NR mode.

[0118] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal may perform serial and / or parallel measurement scheduling for the frequency information in the update set in LTE mode based on preconfigured or established scheduling rules including but not limited to the NR frequency measurement concurrency capability.

[0119] In summary, according to the communication control method proposed in the present disclosure, the method includes: in the first communication mode, determining whether each frequency point information in the set meets the measurement threshold; if not, deleting the frequency point information that does not meet the measurement threshold from the set to obtain an updated set; in the first communication mode, performing serial and / or parallel measurement scheduling on the frequency point information in the updated set. This method determines the frequency points that meet the measurement threshold to obtain an updated set, and the LTE mode uniformly schedules the frequency points of the updated set, thereby realizing flexible measurement scheduling planning for the NR frequency points of MCG and SCG, and avoiding resource preemption due to simultaneous scheduling of the terminal LTE mode and NR mode.

[0120] Figure 7 A flow chart of a communication control method proposed in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, in Figure 1 Based on the illustrated embodiment, the communication control method further includes steps 701-704.

[0121] Step 701: When the second cell is changed or deleted, the NR inter-frequency point information of the second cell is deleted from the set.

[0122] Step 702: when the second cell is rebuilt, update the set.

[0123] Step 703, when the first cell is switched to the third cell, the NR inter-system frequency information of the first cell is deleted from the set, and the NR inter-system frequency information of the third cell is added to the set.

[0124] Step 704: When the first cell is rebuilt, stop the NR frequency measurement and delete the set.

[0125] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the above steps 701-704 are optional, and the terminal may execute one or more of the above steps according to the EN-DC situation to complete the update of the NR frequency point set.

[0126] In summary, according to the communication control method proposed in the present disclosure, the method includes: when the second cell is changed or deleted, deleting the NR inter-frequency frequency point information of the second cell from the set; when the second cell is rebuilt, updating the set; when the first cell is switched to the third cell, deleting the NR inter-system frequency point information of the first cell from the set, and adding the NR inter-system frequency point information of the third cell to the set; when the first cell is rebuilt, stopping the NR frequency point measurement and deleting the set. The method disclosed in the present disclosure provides a complete communication control method by setting the update of the NR frequency point set under different EN-DC situations to ensure the determination of NR frequency point scheduling.

[0127] This solution ensures the mobility management performance of MCG by maintaining the NR inter-system frequency measurement of MCG during the establishment of NR services in the EN-DC scenario. For the NR inter-system measurement of MCG and the NR inter-frequency measurement of SCG, a unified scheduling management mechanism is adopted on the MCG side to integrate the same NR frequency information and only retain the same NR frequency information, thereby reducing the power consumption of NR frequency measurement. At the same time, the terminal can complete the measurement scheduling planning of NR frequencies of MCG and SCG in a unified manner based on the measurement capabilities supported by the currently available resources, which improves the flexibility and scalability of the software system scheduling and the stability of the communication system.

[0128] Therefore, this solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0129] 1. During the establishment of NR services in the EN-DC scenario, the terminal maintains the NR inter-system frequency point measurement of the MCG, thereby ensuring the mobility management performance of the MCG.

[0130] 2. This solution integrates the same NR frequency information through a unified scheduling management mechanism, retaining only the same NR frequency information, reducing the power consumption of NR frequency measurement; at the same time, the terminal can complete the measurement scheduling planning of the NR frequencies of MCG and SCG in a unified manner based on the measurement capabilities supported by the currently available resources, through the LTE mode, thereby improving the flexibility and scalability of the software system scheduling and the stability of the communication system.
