Description

Cell measurement method, device, user equipment, and storage medium Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a cell measurement method, device, user equipment, and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Based on the requirement of mobility management (MM), a terminal needs to continuously measure cells, such as a currently camped cell and neighboring cells of the currently camped cell, to ensure the quality of network service.

[0003] Because cell measurement has a certain impact on terminal power consumption, to achieve a balance between mobility and power consumption, two measurement configuration schemes are proposed in related art as examples: a high-speed measurement configuration scheme and a relaxed measurement configuration scheme. In the high-speed measurement configuration scheme, the terminal's measurement cycle is shorter, thereby achieving more intensive measurements to enable timely reselection to a suitable cell and avoid disconnection. In the relaxed measurement configuration scheme, the terminal's measurement cycle is longer, thereby reducing the number of measurements and thus reducing power consumption.

[0004] There is a scenario that may meet both measurement configuration schemes at the same time. However, as mentioned above, the two measurement configuration schemes have opposite effects on the terminal's measurement period. Therefore, how the terminal should perform cell measurement in this scenario is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0033] In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish between identical or similar items with substantially the same functions and effects. For example, the first instruction and the second instruction are intended to distinguish different user instructions and do not limit their order. Those skilled in the art will understand that words such as "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity or execution order, and words such as "first" and "second" do not necessarily mean that they are different.

[0034] It should be noted that, in this application, words such as "exemplarily" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design described in this application as "exemplary" or "for example" should not be construed as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplarily" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0035] "At least one" means one or more, and "more" means two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the previous and next associated objects are in an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following items" or similar expressions refers to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, at least one of a, b and c can mean: a, or b, or c, or a and b, or a and c, or b and c, or a, b and c, where a, b, c can be single or plural.

[0036] Mobility management involves managing service continuity for terminals. Through mobility management, the connection between the terminal and the network is optimized, providing better network service quality. Terminals access the network through various cells, each with limited coverage. When a terminal is mobile, it must determine the appropriate cell based on its real-time location to access the network. Therefore, once a terminal resides in a cell, mobility management requires continuous cell measurement to ensure it connects to a cell that matches its current location, preventing disconnection.

[0037] During cell measurement, a terminal continuously receives and processes signals, which consumes a large amount of terminal power. However, if the number of measurements is reduced to save terminal power, the terminal may not be able to detect a suitable cell in a timely manner and may be disconnected from the network. Therefore, to achieve a balance between mobility and power consumption, various measurement configuration schemes have been proposed in related technologies. These measurement configuration schemes can be configured for different scenarios to achieve a balance between power consumption and mobility in each scenario.

[0038] As an example, the multiple measurement configuration schemes include a high-speed measurement configuration scheme for high-speed mobility scenarios and a slow measurement configuration scheme for low-speed mobility scenarios. In related art, there are clear indications of measurement periods for different measurement configuration schemes.

[0039] In the high-speed measurement configuration scheme, the terminal's measurement period must meet at least one of the measurement periods shown in Tables 1 to 3. Table 1 shows the measurement period requirements for multiple co-frequency cells in the new radio (NR) system; Table 2 shows the measurement period requirements for multiple cells in the high-speed railway (HST) system under the NR system; and Table 3 shows the measurement period requirements for multiple cells in the high-speed railway (HST) system under the evolved UMTS terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) system.

[0040] It should be noted that the measurement period in the embodiment of the present application can be understood as the discovery period T in the cell measurement process. detect , measurement period T measure and the evaluation period T evaluate One type of information or a general term for the three.

[0041] Table 1

[0042] Table 2

[0043] Table 3

[0044] It should be noted that in Tables 1 to 3, when the SMTC of the terminal is less than or equal to 40 ms, M2=M3=M4=1; when the SMTC of the terminal is greater than 40 ms, M2=1.5, M3=M4=2.

[0045] When the terminal is in a high-speed mobile scenario, the time it takes to pass through the overlapping area of ​​two cells is greatly shortened. In this case, the terminal requires more intensive cell measurements to reselect a new cell in time to avoid being disconnected from the network. This can be verified by the shorter setting values ​​for the measurement period in Tables 1 to 3 above.

[0046] In the slow measurement configuration scheme, taking the measurement between intra-frequency cells as an example, the terminal's measurement period must meet at least one of the measurement periods shown in Table 4 or Table 5. Table 4 shows the measurement period requirements for multiple intra-frequency cells when the terminal is in a low mobility state; Table 5 shows the measurement period requirements for multiple intra-frequency cells when the terminal is not at a cell edge.

[0047] Table 4

[0048] Table 5

[0049] It should be noted that Tables 4 and 5 are applicable to terminals supporting power levels 2, 3, and 4. For terminals supporting power levels 1 or 5, for all DRX cycle lengths, N1 = 8; if the SMTC same-frequency cell measurement period is > 20ms, M2 = 1.5, otherwise M2 = 1; K1 = 3.

[0050] When the terminal is in a low-speed mobility scenario, the terminal has a low demand for cell reselection. In this case, the terminal does not need intensive cell measurements to ensure that it does not disconnect from the network. This can be verified by the longer setting values ​​of the measurement period in Tables 1 to 3 above.

[0051] Comparing the setting values ​​of the measurement period in the two measurement configuration schemes, it can be seen that the two measurement configuration schemes have completely opposite effects on the measurement period. To more clearly illustrate the impact of the two measurement configuration schemes on the measurement period, the measurement period of the two measurement configuration schemes is compared with the measurement period of normal measurement, and Table 6 is obtained. It should be noted that the measurement parameters involved in Table 6 (i.e., the discovery period T detect and measurement period T measure ) only lists some of the values ​​in the above-mentioned multiple measurement configuration schemes. Due to the large number of values ​​for each measurement parameter, in order to simplify the table, one of the multiple values ​​is selected for illustration. In the example shown in Table 6, intra-frequency cell measurement is used, and the DRX cycle length is configured as 0.32s, the SMTC period is 20ms, N1=1, M2=1, M3=1, and K1=3.

[0052] Table 6

[0053] As can be seen from Table 6, the measurement period in the high-speed measurement configuration is shorter than that in the normal measurement, while the measurement period in the slow measurement configuration is longer than that in the normal measurement.

[0054] In actual usage scenarios, there are scenarios where both measurement configuration schemes are applicable. For example, on a high-speed railway (HST), the high-speed railway dedicated network can not only cover the terminals of passengers on high-speed trains, but also the terminals of residents living along the high-speed railway or waiting users for other trains. For the terminals of passengers, the high-speed measurement configuration scheme needs to be configured, but for the terminals of residents or waiting users, the slow measurement configuration scheme can be configured. It can be understood that the above scenario is only an example, and the solutions in the embodiments of this application are not limited to this scenario.

[0055] In addition, in the related art, the starting conditions for these two measurement configuration schemes are that they can be started as long as the corresponding measurement configuration schemes are configured. It can be seen that the two measurement configuration schemes are not mutually exclusive in terms of starting conditions.

[0056] Then, there is a scenario that satisfies both measurement configuration schemes at the same time. However, as can be seen from the above content, the two measurement configuration schemes have opposite effects on the measurement period of the terminal. It can be understood that the effects of the two measurement configuration schemes on the measurement period are conflicting. Then, how the terminal should perform cell measurement in this scenario is not specified in the relevant technology.

[0057] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a cell measurement method, in which the terminal first obtains the system information block SIB of the cell, which may include at least one of high-speed measurement configuration information and slow measurement configuration information. Then, the terminal can measure the cell according to the first measurement configuration information in the SIB, where the first measurement configuration information is a type of measurement configuration information included in the SIB. For example, the SIB only includes one type of measurement configuration information among high-speed measurement configuration information and slow measurement configuration information, then the first measurement configuration information is the measurement configuration information included in the SIB; if the SIB includes the above two types of measurement configuration information, the terminal will only perform cell measurement according to one measurement configuration scheme indicated in the SIB, that is, no matter how many measurement configuration schemes are configured in the SIB, the terminal will only perform measurement according to one of the measurement configuration schemes, thereby achieving the technical effect that the terminal can perform cell measurement normally in a scenario where conflicting measurement configuration schemes are satisfied.

[0058] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the application scenarios of the present application are first described.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1A, which is an example architecture diagram of a communication system provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1A, the communication system includes a terminal 101, a network device 102, and at least two cells. For example, there are two cells, namely cell A and cell B. Cell A and cell B are both cells of network device 102, and cell A and cell B are co-frequency cells.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 1B, which is an architectural diagram of another example of a communication system provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1B, the communication system includes a terminal 201, a network device 202, a network device 203, and at least two cells. For example, there are two cells, namely cell C and cell D, cell C is the cell of network device 202, cell D is the cell of network device 203, cell C and cell D are heterofrequency cells, and network device 202 and network device 203 are network devices under the same standard. For example, network device 202 and network device 203 are both network devices under a 5G communication system, or they can be both network devices under an LTE communication system. Of course, they can also be network devices under other future-oriented communication systems, which are not limited here.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 1C, which is an architectural diagram of another example of a communication system provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1C, the communication system includes a terminal 301, a network device 302, a network device 303, and at least two cells. For example, there are two cells, namely cell E and cell F, cell E is the cell of network device 302, and cell F is the cell of network device 303, and network device 302 and network device 303 are network devices under different standards, for example, network device 302 is a network device under a 5G communication system, and network device 303 is a network device under an LTE communication system; or, network device 302 is a network device under an LTE communication system, and network device 303 is a network device under other future-oriented communication systems. Of course, network device 302 and network device 303 can also be network devices under other standards, which is not limited here.

[0062] It should be understood that the network device can be any device with wireless transceiver capabilities. The device includes but is not limited to: an evolved NodeB (eNB or eNodeB), a radio network controller (RNC), a NodeB (NB), a base station controller (BSC), a base transceiver station (BTS), a home base station (e.g., a home evolved NodeB, or a home NodeB, HNB), a base band unit (BBU), an access point (AP) in a wireless fidelity (WIFI) system, a wireless relay node, a wireless backhaul node, a transmission point (TP) or a transmission and reception point (TRP), etc. It can also be a gNB in ​​a 5G communication system or an NR system, or a transmission point (TRP or TP), one or a group of antenna panels (including multiple antenna panels) of a base station in a 5G system, or a network node constituting a gNB or a transmission point, such as a baseband unit (BBU) or a distributed unit (DU), etc. In some deployments, a gNB may include a centralized unit (CU) and a DU. The gNB may also include a radio unit (RU). The CU implements some gNB functions, while the DU implements some gNB functions. For example, the CU implements the functions of the radio resource control (RRC) and packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layers, while the DU implements the functions of the radio link control (RLC), media access control (MAC), and physical (PHY) layers. Because RRC layer information ultimately becomes PHY layer information, or is converted from PHY layer information, in this architecture, higher-layer signaling, such as RRC layer signaling, can also be considered to be sent by the DU, or by both the DU and the CU. It is understood that a network device can be a CU node, a DU node, or a device that includes both a CU node and a DU node.In addition, the CU can be divided into a network device in an access network (radio access network, RAN), and the CU can also be divided into a network device in a core network (core network, CN), which is not limited in this application.

[0063] It should also be understood that a terminal may also be referred to as a terminal device, user equipment (UE), access terminal, user unit, user station, mobile station, mobile station, remote station, remote terminal, mobile device, user terminal, terminal, wireless communication device, user agent, or user device. It may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a computer with wireless transceiver function, a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal in industrial control, a wireless terminal in self-driving, a wireless terminal in remote medical care, a wireless terminal in smart grid, a wireless terminal in transportation safety, a wireless terminal in a smart city, a wireless terminal in a smart home, and the like.

[0064] It should be noted that the above-mentioned communication system may also include other devices, such as relay devices, routing devices, etc., which are not shown in the communication systems shown in Figures 1A, 1B and 1C, but those skilled in the art can set them according to actual usage and are not limited here.

[0065] The foregoing content introduces the communication system in the embodiment of the present application. The structure of the terminal in the above communication system is further explained below.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 2, which is a schematic diagram of an exemplary structure of a terminal provided in an embodiment of the present application. The terminal shown in Figure 2 includes components such as a processor 210, a memory 220, a transceiver 230, a display unit 240, an input unit 250, a sensor 260, an audio circuit 270, and a power module 280.

[0067] Processor 210 is the terminal's control center, connecting various components of the terminal using various interfaces and circuits. It executes software programs and / or modules stored in memory 220 and accesses data stored in memory 220 to perform various terminal functions and process data, thereby providing overall terminal monitoring. Optionally, processor 210 may include one or more processing units; alternatively, processor 210 may integrate an application processor, which primarily handles operating devices, user interfaces, and application programs. Of course, other processors may also be included, which are not listed here.

[0068] The memory 220 can be used to store software programs and modules. The processor 210 executes the various functional applications and data processing of the terminal by running the software programs and modules stored in the memory 220. The memory 220 may mainly include a program storage area and a data storage area. The program storage area may store operating devices, at least one application required for a function (such as a sound playback function, an image playback function, etc.), etc.; the data storage area may store data created based on the use of the terminal (such as audio data, a phone book, etc.). In addition, the memory 220 may include high-speed random access memory and may also include non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, a flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage device.

[0069] The transceiver 230 can provide wireless communication solutions for applications on the terminal, including wireless local area networks (WLAN) (such as wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) networks), Bluetooth (BT), global navigation satellite system (GNSS), frequency modulation (FM), near field communication (NFC), infrared (IR), etc. The transceiver 230 can be one or more devices that integrate at least one communication processing module, for example, an antenna and a baseband processor are integrated into the transceiver 230, or an antenna and a modem processor are integrated into the transceiver 230, etc., and there is no limitation here.

[0070] The display unit 240 can be used to display information input by the user or information provided to the user, as well as various menus of the terminal. The display unit 240 can be configured in the form of a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), etc., without limitation.

[0071] The input unit 250 can be used to receive input digital or character information, and to generate key signal input related to the user settings and function control of the terminal. Specifically, the input unit 250 can collect the user's operations on or near it, and drive the corresponding connection device according to a pre-set program. In addition, the input unit 250 may include a touch panel 251, which can be implemented using various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave. In addition to the touch panel 251, the input unit 250 may also include other input devices 252. Specifically, other input devices 252 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of function keys (such as volume control keys, switch keys, etc.), trackballs, joysticks, etc.

[0072] The terminal may also include at least one sensor 260, such as a gyroscope, motion sensor, or other sensor. The motion sensor may include an accelerometer, which detects the magnitude of acceleration in all directions and the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary. This can be used in applications that recognize the electronic device's posture, such as switching between landscape and portrait modes, related games, and magnetometer posture calibration. Other sensors that may be configured in electronic devices, such as pressure gauges, barometers, hygrometers, thermometers, and infrared sensors, are not described here.

[0073] Audio circuit 270 may include a speaker 271 and a microphone 272, providing an audio interface between the user and the terminal. Audio circuit 270 converts received audio data into electrical signals and transmits them to speaker 271, where they are converted into sound signals for output. Microphone 272, on the other hand, converts collected sound signals into electrical signals, which are then received by audio circuit 270 and converted into audio data. The audio data is then output to processor 210 for processing, then transmitted via the video circuit to, for example, another electronic device, or to memory 220 for further processing.

[0074] The terminal also includes a power module 280 for supplying power to various components. Optionally, the power module 280 can be logically connected to the processor 210 through a power management device, thereby implementing functions such as charging, discharging, and power consumption management through the power management device.

[0075] Although not shown, the terminal may further include a camera. Optionally, the camera may be located at the front or rear of the terminal, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0076] It is understood that the structures illustrated in the embodiments of the present application do not constitute specific limitations on the terminal. In other embodiments of the present application, the terminal may include more or fewer components than shown, or may combine or separate certain components, or arrange the components differently. The illustrated components may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0077] Below, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be introduced in detail in combination with the above application scenarios.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 3, which is a flowchart of an example of a cell measurement method disclosed in an embodiment of the present application. The method can be applied to the communication system shown in Figure 1A, Figure 1B, or Figure 1C. For example, the UE below can be a terminal in the communication system shown in Figure 1A, Figure 1B, or Figure 1C, and the network device below can be any network device in the communication system shown in Figure 1A, Figure 1B, or Figure 1C. The description of the flowchart of the method is as follows:

[0079] Step S310: When the cell meets the first condition and the second condition, the network device sends the system information block SIB of the cell.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, the first condition is a condition for performing high-speed measurement on the cell, and the second condition is a condition for performing slow measurement on the cell.

[0081] The network device pre-sets a judgment condition for determining whether to configure high-speed measurement configuration information and / or slow measurement configuration information for a cell. When the corresponding judgment condition is met, the corresponding measurement configuration information can be configured for the cell.

[0082] In the embodiments of the present application, the first condition and the second condition are not limited. As an example, the first condition and the second condition are conditions corresponding to the scenario. In actual use, the network device can determine whether the cell meets the first condition and / or the second condition according to the scenario corresponding to the cell, and then set the corresponding measurement configuration scheme. For example, the measurement scheme of the cell in the high-speed railway scenario can be configured as a high-speed measurement configuration scheme, while the measurement scheme of the cell in other scenarios can be configured as a slow measurement configuration scheme. As another example, the first condition and the second condition are conditions corresponding to the service information. The cell can be judged to meet the first condition and / or the second condition according to the service information carried by the cell, and then set the corresponding measurement configuration scheme. For example, if the service carried by the cell requires high stability, in order to ensure that reliable service quality can be provided, the cell can be configured as a high-speed measurement configuration scheme, otherwise, it can be configured as a slow measurement configuration scheme. In the above technical solution, the network device can flexibly determine whether to configure high-speed measurement configuration information and slow measurement configuration information for the cell according to the first condition and the second condition, thereby improving the flexibility of network configuration.

[0083] Of course, other factors may also be used to configure the above two measurement configuration schemes for the cell, which will not be described one by one here.

[0084] Step S320: The terminal obtains the SIB.

[0085] When the network device determines that the cell meets the first condition and / or the second condition, the corresponding measurement configuration information is configured for the cell and sent to the terminal device. When it is determined that the cell meets the first condition or the second condition, the SIB includes the high-speed measurement configuration information or the slow measurement configuration information; when it is determined that the cell meets the first condition and the second condition, in one possible implementation, the SIB includes the high-speed measurement configuration information and the slow measurement configuration information. In another possible implementation, the SIB includes one of the high-speed measurement configuration information and the slow measurement configuration information, that is, the high-speed measurement configuration information and the slow measurement configuration information are mutually exclusive, and the two will not exist in the same SIB at the same time.

[0086] After the UE has found a cell and achieved downlink synchronization with it, it needs to obtain the cell's system information block (SIB) and obtain the cell's configuration information through the SIB to perform measurements on that cell. It is understood that the cell may be a neighboring cell of the cell the UE is currently stationed in. The UE can search for at least one neighboring cell, each of which has a corresponding SIB.

[0087] There are many types of SIBs. For example, SIBs can include 13 types: SIB1, SIB2, SIB3, SIB4, SIB5, SIB6, SIB7, SIB8, SIB9, SIB10, SIB11, SIB12, and SIB13. Different SIBs carry different parameters and have different purposes, as follows:

[0088] SIB1: mainly carries information related to cell access and cell selection, as well as LTE-time division duplexing (TDD) subframe configuration, scheduling and window information of other SIB blocks, etc.

[0089] SIB2: mainly carries public radio resource configuration-related information, including physical random access channel (PRACH) configuration information, uplink frequency information, etc.

[0090] SIB3: Carries public information related to intra-frequency, inter-frequency, and cross-standard cell reselection.

[0091] SIB4: carries neighboring cell information used for intra-frequency cell reselection.

[0092] SIB5: carries neighboring cell information used for inter-frequency cell reselection.

[0093] SIB6 to SIB8 carry neighbor cell information used for cross-standard cell reselection, such as UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access, Global System for Mobile Communications Edge Radio Access Network (GERAN), and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) 2000.

[0094] SIB9: carries relevant information of home enodeB (HNB).

[0095] SIB10-SIB11: carry information related to the Earthquake and Tsunami Warning System (ETWS). When the UE decodes the paging message and finds the ETWS message, it needs to obtain the specific ETWS content from SIB10-SIB11.

[0096] SIB12: Carries information related to the Commercial Mobile Alerting System (CMAS). When the UE decodes a paging message and finds a CMAS message, it needs to obtain the specific CMAS content from SIB12.

[0097] SIB13: carries information related to the multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS).

[0098] The above-mentioned SIB information is an example. The number and type of SIBs are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. In the face of future communication systems, SIBs may also include other types or a greater number of SIBs, and the present application does not impose any restrictions on this. The specific content of each SIB can be set by the network device according to the actual situation of the cell. The process is similar to that in the related art and will not be described here. In addition, although there are many types of SIBs, the network device may only send part of the SIB information when sending the SIB. For example, in the above example, there are 13 types of SIBs. The network device can choose to send the 13 types of SIBs, or it can choose to send only 8 types of SIBs, such as only sending SIB1 to SIB8. This is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0099] It should be noted that the above-mentioned multiple SIBs can be carried in the same message and sent, or can be carried in different messages and sent. For example, the network device can send multiple SIBs using different SIs respectively; or, the network device can encapsulate multiple SIBs in one SI and send them. For example, the network device can put SIB1 in a system message SI and send it, and then put other SIBs in another SI and send them; or, the network device can put SIB1 in one SI and send it, and then put other SIBs in multiple other SIs and send them, for example, SIB1 is sent through SI-1, SIB2 is sent through SI-2, SIB3 and SIB4 are sent through SI-3, SIB5 is sent through SI-4, SIB6-SIB8 are sent through SI-5, and so on.

[0100] The network device may periodically send SI so that the UE can receive the SI. If the network device sends the above multiple SIBs via different SIs, the sending periods of the different SIs may be the same or different, which is not limited here.

[0101] In an embodiment of the present application, the SIB sent by the network device includes high-speed measurement configuration information and / or slow measurement configuration information. It should be noted that the high-speed measurement configuration information can be understood as high-speed measurement configuration information for at least one of the same-frequency cells, different-frequency cells, and different-system cells, and the slow measurement configuration information can also be understood as high-speed measurement configuration information for at least one of the same-frequency cells, different-frequency cells, and different-system cells. That is, the network device can simultaneously perform high-speed measurement configuration and / or slow measurement configuration on the three types of cells, namely, the same-frequency cells, different-frequency cells, and different-system cells, or can only perform high-speed measurement configuration and / or slow measurement configuration on some types of cells among the three types of cells, namely, the same-frequency cells, different-frequency cells, and different-system cells. For example, high-speed measurement configuration and / or slow measurement configuration can be performed only on the same-frequency cells, or high-speed measurement configuration and / or slow measurement configuration can be performed only on the different-frequency cells, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0102] As an example, the network device can configure high-speed measurement configuration information in SIB1, SIB4 and SIB5. For example, the network device can configure whether the value corresponding to the highSpeedConfig-r16 field in SIB1 is true (true) to determine whether the high-speed measurement configuration is configured for the cell. If the value of the highSpeedConfig-r16 field is true, it means that the cell is configured with a high-speed measurement configuration. For another example, the network device can configure whether the value corresponding to the highSpeedMeasInterFreq-r17 field in SIB4 is true to determine whether the high-speed measurement configuration is configured for the cell. If the value of the highSpeedMeasInterFreq-r17 field is true, it means that the cell is configured with a high-speed measurement configuration. For another example, the network device can configure whether the value corresponding to the highSpeedEUTRACarrier-r16 field in SIB5 is true to determine whether the high-speed measurement configuration is configured for the cell. If the value of the highSpeedEUTRACarrier-r16 field is true, it means that the cell is configured with a high-speed measurement configuration.

[0103] As an example, the network device may configure slow measurement configuration information in SIB2. For example, the network device may configure whether the value corresponding to the combineRelaxedMeasCondition-r16 field in SIB2 is true to determine whether the high-speed measurement configuration is configured for the cell. If the value of the combineRelaxedMeasCondition-r16 field is true, it means that the cell is configured with a slow measurement configuration. Furthermore, when it is determined that the cell meets the second condition, the network device may also configure a slow measurement condition in the SIB, and the terminal device may determine whether to measure the cell according to the slow measurement configuration information based on the slow measurement condition. As an example, the slow measurement condition includes an evaluation condition for low mobility and an evaluation condition for the cell edge. When the network device configures the slow measurement configuration for the cell, the network device may also configure an evaluation condition for low mobility and an evaluation condition for the cell edge in SIB2. For example, in SIB2, the s-SearchDeltaP-r16:dB6 and t-SearchDeltaP-r16:s30 in the lowMobilityEvaluation-r16 field are set, which means that when the UE detects that the reference signal receiving power (RSRP) of the cell in 30s is greater than 6dB, it is confirmed that the UE meets the low mobility condition; in SIB2, the s-SearchThresholdP-r16:0 in the cellEdgeEvaluation-r16 field is set, which means that when the UE detects that the RSRP of the cell is less than or equal to 0, it is confirmed that the UE meets the cell edge condition. When the UE meets the low mobility evaluation conditions and the cell edge evaluation conditions, slow measurement can be performed on the cell.

[0104] It should be noted that the first condition, the second condition and the slow measurement condition here may be related, for example, they may be the same, or they may be multiple completely unrelated conditions, which is not limited here.

[0105] The above description of SIB and high-speed measurement configuration information and slow measurement configuration information is only an example. Those skilled in the art may also use other configuration methods to implement high-speed measurement configuration and slow measurement configuration in SIB, which are not listed here one by one.

[0106] Step S330: The terminal measures the cell according to the first measurement configuration information in the SIB.

[0107] After the UE obtains the corresponding measurement configuration information from the SIB, it measures the cell according to the first measurement configuration information. In this embodiment of the present application, the first measurement configuration information is a type of measurement configuration information included in the SIB. In other words, regardless of the number of measurement configuration schemes configured in the SIB, the terminal will only perform measurements according to one of the measurement configuration schemes.

[0108] When the SIB includes only one type of measurement configuration information, the terminal performs measurement according to the measurement configuration information included in the SIB. As an example, the SIB includes the high-speed measurement configuration information or the slow measurement configuration information, and the first measurement configuration information is the measurement configuration information included in the SIB. That is, even if the first condition and the second condition are met at the same time, the network device will only select one of the high-speed measurement configuration information or the slow measurement configuration information for cell measurement configuration, and will not configure both types of measurement configuration information for a cell. That is, the two types of measurement configuration information are mutually exclusive, thereby avoiding conflicts from the root, and the terminal can directly perform cell measurement according to the instructions of the network device, which can simplify the processing logic of the terminal.

[0109] When the SIB includes multiple types of measurement configuration information, for example, including both high-speed measurement configuration information and slow measurement configuration information, in this case, the terminal selects one of the multiple types of measurement configuration information as the first measurement configuration information for cell measurement. Specifically, there are multiple ways for the terminal to select the first measurement configuration information. For example, the terminal can randomly select one, or the terminal determines one of the high-speed measurement configuration information and the slow measurement configuration information as the first measurement configuration information according to a preset rule. The preset rule can be that the terminal pre-sets the priority of each measurement configuration information. For example, in order to save power consumption, the terminal sets the priority of the slow measurement configuration information to be higher than the priority of the high-speed measurement configuration information, and the terminal selects the slow measurement configuration information as the first measurement configuration information. For another example, since multiple SIBs may not be obtained at the same time, the terminal can also determine the first measurement configuration information as the first measurement configuration information according to the order in which the configuration information is obtained. If SIB1 is obtained first and SIB1 is configured with high-speed measurement configuration information, the terminal determines the high-speed measurement configuration information as the first measurement configuration information. The terminal may also set various conditions based on actual usage requirements and flexibly adjust the selection conditions for various measurement configuration information, such that the terminal selects high-speed measurement configuration information in a first time period and slow measurement configuration information in a second time period, thereby increasing the flexibility of the terminal in performing cell measurements. Of course, those skilled in the art may also set other preset rules, which are not limited here.

[0110] According to the above method of the embodiment of the present application, after the terminal obtains the SIB, no matter how many measurement configuration schemes are configured in the SIB, the terminal will only perform measurement according to one of the measurement configuration schemes, thereby achieving the technical effect that the terminal can normally perform cell measurement in a scenario where conflicting measurement configuration schemes are met.

[0111] Below, the cell measurement method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to a scenario where high-speed measurement configuration information and slow measurement configuration information are configured on the network side as an example to further illustrate the method.

[0112] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4, which is a flowchart of another example of a cell measurement method provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 4, the method may include the following steps.

[0113] Step S410: The network device sends the system information block SIB of the cell, and the terminal obtains the SIB.

[0114] In the example shown in FIG4 , the SIB includes high-speed measurement configuration information and slow-speed measurement configuration information. The SIB acquisition method and the specific configuration methods for the high-speed and slow-speed measurement configuration information are similar to those in step S320 and are not further described here. Furthermore, how the network device configures the SIB information for the cell is similar to step S310 and is not shown in this embodiment.

[0115] Step S420: The terminal determines first measurement configuration information.

[0116] In the example shown in FIG. 4 , since the SIB includes two types of measurement configuration information, the terminal needs to select one of the two types of measurement configuration information as the first measurement configuration information to perform cell measurement.

[0117] In the embodiment of the present application, step 420 may include but is not limited to the following implementations. Please refer to FIG5 , which is a flowchart of an example of a specific implementation of step 420. FIG5 is described as follows:

[0118] Step S510: Determine the mobile status of the terminal.

[0119] In an embodiment of the present application, the movement status is used to indicate whether the terminal is in a high-speed movement state.

[0120] In the embodiments of the present application, the following three determination methods may be included but are not limited to:

[0121] The first way to determine:

[0122] The mobile state of the terminal is determined according to whether the terminal meets the low mobility evaluation condition in the slow measurement configuration information; wherein, if the terminal meets the low mobility evaluation condition in the slow measurement configuration information, it is determined that the terminal is not in the high-speed mobile state.

[0123] Specifically, the network device can configure the low mobility evaluation conditions in SIB2. For example, the s-SearchDeltaP-r16:dB6 and t-SearchDeltaP-r16:s30 in the lowMobilityEvaluation-r16 field are set in SIB2. That is to say, when the UE detects that the reference signal receiving power (RSRP) of the cell in 30s is greater than 6dB, it is confirmed that the UE meets the low mobility condition. Then, the terminal can measure the RSRP of the cell within 30s. If the measurement results of the RSRP within 30s are all greater than 6dB, it is determined that the terminal is not in a high-speed mobile state; if the measurement results of the RSRP within 30s are less than 6dB, it is determined that the terminal is in a high-speed mobile state. Alternatively, if there are multiple measurement results within 30s, it can be determined that the terminal is not in a high-speed mobile state when the proportion of the measurement results greater than 6dB is greater than the threshold, otherwise, it is determined that the terminal is in a high-speed mobile state; or, if there are multiple measurement results within 30s, it can be determined that the terminal is not in a high-speed mobile state when the average of the measurement results is greater than 6dB, otherwise, it is determined that the terminal is in a high-speed mobile state. The specific conditions for determining whether the terminal is in a high-speed mobile state can be set by skilled and technical personnel according to actual usage requirements, and are not limited here.

[0124] The second way to determine:

[0125] The mobility state of the terminal is determined according to the mobility state parameter.

[0126] Specifically, a MobilityStateParameters field may be provided in SIB2, which indicates a parameter used to indicate the mobility state of the terminal. For example, the mobility state parameter may be RSRP or RSRQ. The terminal may measure the mobility state parameter and then determine whether the terminal is in a high-speed mobility state based on the measurement result. For example, if the mobility state parameter may be RSRP, the terminal may measure whether the RSRP of the cell is greater than a preset threshold. If so, it is determined that the terminal is not in a high-speed mobility state; otherwise, it is confirmed that the terminal is in a high-speed mobility state; or, if the terminal measures whether the change in the RSRP of the cell over a preset time period is greater than a preset change threshold, if so, it is determined that the terminal is in a high-speed mobility state; otherwise, it is confirmed that the terminal is not in a high-speed mobility state.

[0127] According to different mobility state parameters, the terminal may perform different measurements, which are not exemplified here one by one.

[0128] The third way to determine:

[0129] The moving state of the terminal is determined according to the moving speed of the terminal.

[0130] Specifically, the terminal can obtain the current moving speed of the terminal through Doppler speed measurement or speed sensor. When the current moving speed of the terminal is greater than the preset moving speed threshold, it is determined that the terminal is in a high-speed moving state; otherwise, it is determined that the terminal is not in a high-speed moving state.

[0131] It should be noted that the various thresholds mentioned in the foregoing content may be pre-set in the terminal, may be agreed upon between the terminal and the network device, or may be indicated by the network device, and no limitation is made here.

[0132] In addition, the above-mentioned multiple determination methods are explained using the mobile status of the terminal to indicate whether the terminal is in a high-speed mobile state as an example. In other examples, the mobile status can also be used to indicate whether the terminal is in a non-mobile state or a low-speed mobile state. The specific determination method is similar to the aforementioned determination of whether the terminal is in a high-speed mobile state, and will not be repeated here.

[0133] Step S520: The terminal determines first measurement configuration information according to the mobility state.

[0134] After the terminal determines the mobility state, the first measurement configuration information may be determined based on the mobility state. Specifically, if the mobility state indicates that the terminal is in the high-speed mobility state, the first measurement configuration information is determined to be the high-speed measurement configuration information; otherwise, the first measurement configuration information is determined to be the slow measurement configuration information.

[0135] It should be noted that, under the condition that the slow measurement configuration information includes the slow measurement condition, and when the mobile state indicates that the terminal is not in the high-speed mobile state and the terminal meets the slow measurement condition, the first measurement configuration information is determined to be the slow measurement configuration information.

[0136] In the embodiment of the present application, the slow measurement condition may be understood as at least one of the aforementioned low mobility evaluation condition and the cell edge evaluation condition.

[0137] If the slow measurement condition is one of the aforementioned low mobility evaluation condition and non-cell edge evaluation condition, the terminal determines whether the slow measurement condition is met. If so, the terminal determines that the first measurement configuration information is slow measurement configuration information; otherwise, the terminal determines that the first measurement configuration information is normal measurement configuration information.

[0138] If the slow measurement condition is the aforementioned low mobility evaluation condition and non-cell edge evaluation condition, the terminal determines the first measurement configuration information based on the matching with the slow measurement condition. For example, the slow measurement configuration information includes the measurement configuration information of multiple co-frequency cells when the terminal is in a low mobility state as shown in Table 4, the measurement configuration information of multiple co-frequency cells when the terminal is in a non-cell edge state as shown in Table 5, and preset fixed configuration information. When the terminal satisfies both the low mobility evaluation condition and the cell edge evaluation condition, the first measurement configuration information is the preset fixed configuration information, which sets the measurement period to a preset value, such as 1 hour; when the terminal satisfies the low mobility evaluation condition, the first measurement configuration information is the configuration information described in Table 4; when the terminal satisfies the non-cell edge evaluation condition, the first measurement configuration information is the configuration information described in Table 5.

[0139] Step S430: The terminal measures the cell according to the first measurement configuration information.

[0140] Step S430 is similar to step S330 and will not be described again here.

[0141] It can be seen that according to the above method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal can flexibly choose which measurement configuration information to use for cell measurement according to its own mobility state, thereby improving the flexibility of the terminal under the premise of achieving the technical effect of being able to perform cell measurement normally in scenarios where conflicting measurement configuration schemes are met.

[0142] The above describes the specific configuration and implementation of the embodiments of the present application from different perspectives through multiple embodiments. In order to more clearly understand the technical ideas of the embodiments of the present application, an application example is provided below to further describe the embodiments of the present application in a specific scenario.

[0143] FIG6 shows a flow chart of an application example of an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG6 , in this application example, the method provided by the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

[0144] Step S601: The terminal obtains the system information block SIB of the cell sent by the network device.

[0145] Step S602: The terminal determines whether high-speed measurement configuration information and slow-speed measurement configuration information are configured in the SIB at the same time.

[0146] If the terminal determines that both high-speed measurement configuration information and slow measurement configuration information are configured in the SIB, steps S603 to S608 are executed; otherwise, steps S609 to S611 are executed.

[0147] Step S603: The terminal determines whether its own moving state is in a non-high-speed moving state.

[0148] Step S604: If the terminal is in a non-high-speed moving state, it is determined to perform slow measurement; otherwise, high-speed measurement is performed according to Table 1;

[0149] Step S605: If the terminal determines that both the low mobility evaluation condition and the non-cell edge evaluation condition are configured in SIB2 and the terminal satisfies both the low mobility evaluation condition and the non-cell edge evaluation condition, the measurement period is set to 1 hour.

[0150] Step S606: If the terminal determines that only the low mobility evaluation condition is configured in SIB2 and the terminal meets the low mobility evaluation condition, it performs slow measurement according to the configuration information shown in Table 4.

[0151] Step S607: If the terminal determines that only the non-cell edge evaluation condition is configured in SIB2 and the terminal meets the non-cell edge evaluation condition, it performs slow measurement according to the configuration information shown in Table 5.

[0152] Step S608: If the terminal determines that neither the low mobility evaluation condition nor the non-cell edge evaluation condition is met, the terminal performs measurement according to the normal measurement configuration.

[0153] Step S609: If the terminal determines that high-speed measurement configuration information is configured in SIB1 of the SIB, it performs high-speed measurement according to Table 1.

[0154] Step S610: If the terminal determines that high-speed measurement configuration information is not configured in SIB1 of the SIB, it determines whether slow measurement configuration information is configured in SIB2. If slow measurement configuration information is configured in SIB2, slow measurement is performed; if the terminal determines that slow measurement configuration information is not configured in SIB2, measurement is performed according to the normal measurement configuration.

[0155] It can be seen that in this application example, no matter how many measurement configuration schemes are configured in the SIB, the terminal will only perform measurements according to one of the measurement configuration schemes, achieving the technical effect that the terminal can normally perform cell measurements in the scenario where conflicting measurement configuration schemes are met.
