Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Currently, territorial networks (TN) only cover 20% of the land area and 5% of the earth's surface. Non-territorial networks (NTN) are easy to deploy, have wide coverage, and are not restricted by terrain. They can meet the communication needs of scenarios where TN cannot be deployed, such as oceans and deserts.

[0003] Since the area of ​​NTN cells is much larger than that of TN cells, there may be many TN neighboring cells under the coverage of NTN cells, and these neighboring cells may only be distributed in certain locations of NTN cells. According to the existing mechanism, NTN cells broadcast the relevant parameters of neighboring cell reselection in SIB3 / 4 and other system information according to frequency or cell, and terminals in NTN cells need to keep measuring these frequencies according to certain rules. In Rel-18, the reselection process of NTN-TN is enhanced. NTN cells will broadcast the geographic location information of TN neighboring cells to assist terminals (User Equipment, UE) in performing measurements and cell reselection.

[0004] In the NTN-TN reselection scenario, the number of TN neighboring cells of NTN is huge and scattered in different locations. The load conditions and signal quality of neighboring cells at different frequencies will not differ greatly. Therefore, it is meaningless to configure a separate priority for each frequency, which will bring unnecessary signaling overhead. Summary of the invention

[0189] Due to the unique geographical location of satellites, they have the advantages of wide coverage, easy deployment, stable channels, etc., which can make up for the shortcomings of ground networks. The integration of ground networks and satellite networks has received widespread attention. Among them, based on the characteristics of low-orbit satellites moving at high speed along the orbit, two types of cells are planned, quasi-earth fixed cells and earth moving cells. Quasi-earth fixed cells refer to satellites that adjust the antenna angle so that the beam is fixedly projected onto a certain area on the ground for a period of time; earth moving cells refer to satellite antenna angles that remain unchanged, and as the satellite moves, the coverage area of ​​its beam changes in real time.

[0190] Cell reselection is when the UE is in the idle (RRC_IDLE) or inactive (RRC_INACTIVE) state, it resides in a cell with better signal quality / higher priority through cell reselection. Cell reselection includes the process of processing frequency priority, determining the frequency point or cell to be measured according to the measurement rule of cell reselection, and selecting the cell according to the R criterion.

[0191] In the prior art, the parameters used for cell reselection are configured according to the frequency or cell, that is, the network configures the reselection measurement-related parameters and the corresponding priority for each frequency, and some parameters are configured separately for each cell. The cell reselection parameters are broadcast to the terminal through system information such as system information SIB2 / 3 / 4 / 5, and the priority can be configured to the terminal through a dedicated signaling radio resource control connection release (RRCRelease) message in addition to system information. Taking the reselection priority in SIB4 as an example, each frequency corresponds to a priority value, which is represented by a two-level priority consisting of cellReselectionPriority and cellReselectionSubPriority, where cellReselectionPriority is the absolute priority of the frequency, and cellReselectionSubPriority is the decimal part of the absolute priority.

[0192] The reselection process of NTN-TN is enhanced in Rel-18. The NTN cell will broadcast the geographic location information of the TN neighboring cells to assist the UE in performing measurements and cell reselection. The NTN cell will broadcast the center point location coordinates and radius of each TN coverage area in the system information. Each TN coverage area has one or more TN cells. The terminal will determine whether it is in the TN coverage area based on the above location information. If it is not in the TN coverage area, it does not need to perform measurements of the relevant TN neighboring cells. In order to prevent energy consumption caused by terminal blind search, the network also needs to broadcast the frequency point information corresponding to each TN area to the terminal. The terminal only needs to measure the frequency point corresponding to the TN area where it is located.

[0193] In order to complete the reselection process, the parameters related to the reselection process also need to be provided to the terminal. Taking the reselection priority as an example, unlike the network scenarios that only consider TN neighboring cells or only consider NTN neighboring cells, the number of neighboring cells of the service cell is limited. The network can configure the reselection priority according to the frequency point based on factors such as load conditions and signal status, so that the terminal can reselect to the neighboring cell with high priority first. In the NTN-TN reselection scenario, the number of TN neighboring cells of NTN is huge and scattered in different locations. The load conditions and signal quality of neighboring cells at different frequencies will not differ greatly. Therefore, it is meaningless to configure different priorities for each frequency point. How to efficiently and reasonably configure the cell reselection related parameters and reselection priorities is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0194] The priority determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application can reduce signaling overhead by configuring the priority of neighboring cells according to the area or network type. The neighboring cell in the present application refers to the neighboring cell of the terminal.

[0195] 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.

[0196] Figure 1 is one of the flowcharts of the priority determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a priority determination method, the execution subject of which may be a terminal, such as a mobile phone, etc. The method includes:

[0197] Step 101: Receive priority configuration information sent by a network device; the priority configuration information is used to indicate a priority configured based on an area and / or a priority configured based on a network type.

[0198] Specifically, the network device sends priority configuration information to the terminal, and the terminal receives the priority configuration information sent by the network device. The priority configuration information includes a parameter indicating a priority configured based on an area or a priority configured based on a network type.

[0199] Priority based on regional configuration means that the configuration parameters related to the priority are applicable to all cells in a preset area, or to all cells of a certain network type in a preset area. For example, if the preset area is a TN area, the configuration parameters related to the priority are applicable to all TN cells in the TN area. For this priority, all cells in a preset area have the same priority, and the priority between different preset areas can be the same or different. The preset area here can be a geographical area divided according to one or more TN cells, or it can be a geographical area consisting of a reference point and a radius. Priority based on regional configuration can be set according to the size of the preset area, or it can be set according to the number of TN cells in the preset area, and this application does not limit this.

[0200] Configuring priority based on network type means that the configuration parameters related to the priority apply to all cells of a certain network type. For this priority, all cells of the same network type have the same priority, and the priorities between different network types can be the same or different. The different network types here can be New Radio NTN (NR NTN), NR TN, Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access TN (E-UTRA TN), Non-terrestrial Internet of Things (IoT NTN), etc.

[0201] Configuring priority based on network type can also configure all TN cells to the same priority, including terrestrial network types such as NR TN, E-UTRA TN, etc.

[0202] It is worth mentioning that the priority configured based on the area or the priority configured based on the network type may be associated with the priority of the frequency point and / or cell in the area or the network type.

[0203] For example, if the priority configured for the preset area is P TN_areaA , cell 1 and cell 2 are both in the preset area, then the terminal needs to consider P when determining the priority of cell 1 and cell 2. TN_areaA .

[0204] Step 102: Determine the priority of a target frequency, a target cell, a target area and / or a target network type based on the priority configuration information.

[0205] Specifically, the terminal can determine the priority of the target frequency and / or target cell according to the received priority configuration information, and then perform priority sorting. It can also first sort according to the priority of the area or network type, and determine the priority of the target frequency and / or target cell in the area or network type with the highest priority. Determining the priority of the target frequency, target cell, target area and / or target network type refers to determining the priority of at least one of the target frequency, target cell, target area and target network type.

[0206] The priority of the target frequency may include the priority of the neighboring cell frequency, or the priority of the frequency where the serving cell is located. The priority of the target cell may include the cell priority of the neighboring cell or the cell priority of the serving cell. The priority of the target area may include the priority of part or all areas broadcast by the serving cell. The priority of the target network type may include the priority of the network type of the serving cell, or the priority of the network type of the neighboring cell.

[0207] For example, the priority of the target frequency point and / or the target cell may be directly determined according to the priority-related parameters in the priority configuration, and then the priority is sorted.

[0208] For example, in the case of configuring priorities based on areas, the priority of NTN cells can be configured according to frequencies according to the existing mechanism, and the priority of TN cells can be configured according to preset areas. The priorities of TN frequencies are determined according to the preset areas to which they belong, and are sorted with the priorities of NTN frequencies to determine the measurement objects.

[0209] For another example, when priorities are configured based on network types, cells of different network types are sorted according to the configured priorities.

[0210] For another example, when all TN cells are configured with the same priority, the priority of the NTN cells can be configured according to the frequency according to the existing mechanism. The same priority is configured for the TN cells, and all TN frequencies are sorted according to this priority and the priority of each NTN frequency.

[0211] For another example, when configuring priorities based on area and network type, a priority A can be configured for the TN cell according to the preset area, and a priority B can be configured for the TN cell according to the network type of the TN cell. Priority A and priority B can then be considered comprehensively, such as priority A plus priority B, to determine the priority of the TN cell.

[0212] It is worth mentioning that the priority mentioned in this application can be used for terminal behaviors such as cell reselection, measurement, relaxed measurement, measurement reporting, and access selection.

[0213] The priority determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application adopts priority configuration information related to the area or network type, so that the network can configure the priority according to the area or network type, without configuring different priorities for each frequency point, which can reduce signaling overhead.

[0214] In some embodiments, the priority based on the area configuration is indicated by priority configuration information configured for each area respectively.

[0215] Specifically, the priority based on area configuration means that the configuration parameters related to the priority are applicable to all cells in a preset area, or to all cells of a certain network type in a preset area, for example, all TN cells in a preset area. For this priority, all cells in a preset area have the same priority, and the priorities between different preset areas may be the same or different.

[0216] For example, the network is divided into multiple areas according to geographical location, namely area A and area B. Area A has cells 1 and 2, and area B has cells 3 and 4. The area-based configuration priority configured for area A is P1, and the area-based configuration priority configured for area A is P2. Then P1 applies to cells 1 and 2, and P2 applies to cells 3 and 4. The values ​​of P1 and P2 can be the same or different.

[0217] For another example, the priority based on the area configuration can be set according to the size of the preset area. The smaller the preset area is, the lower the configuration priority is, and the larger the preset area is, the higher the configuration priority is.

[0218] For another example, the priority based on area configuration can be set according to the number of TN cells in the preset area. The fewer the number of TN cells in the preset area, the lower the configuration priority, and the more the number of TN cells in the preset area, the higher the configuration priority.

[0219] For another example, the priority based on area configuration can be set according to the density of TN cells in the preset area. The lower the number of TN cells in the preset area, the lower the configuration priority, and the higher the number of TN cells in the preset area, the higher the configuration priority.

[0220] The priority determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application adopts priority configuration information related to the region, so that the network can configure the priority according to the region without configuring different priorities for each frequency point.

[0221] In some embodiments, the priority configured based on the network type is indicated by priority configuration information configured separately for each network type.

[0222] Specifically, the priority configured based on the network type means that the configuration parameters related to the priority are applicable to all cells of a certain network type. For this priority, all cells of the same network type have the same priority, and the priorities between different network types can be the same or different.

[0223] For example, the priority configured based on the network type can be configured with different priorities for NR NTN, NR TN, E-UTRA TN, and IoT NTN. The priority of NR NTN is 1, the priority of IoT NTN is 2, the priority of E-UTRA TN is 3, and the priority of NRTN is 4. The priorities of different network types can also be the same, and there is no restriction here.

[0224] For another example, the priority configured based on the network type can be configured with the same priority for all TN cells. E-UTRA TN, NR TN and other TN are regarded as the same network type, and the same priority value, such as 1, is configured.

[0225] The priority determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application adopts priority configuration information related to the network type, so that the network can configure the priority according to the network type, without having to configure different priorities for each frequency point.

[0226] In some embodiments, the network type of the serving cell of the terminal is a first network type, and the network type of the neighboring cell of the terminal is a second network type.

[0227] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the network type of the service cell of the terminal is a first network type, and the network type of the neighboring cell of the terminal is a second network type different from the first network type.

[0228] For example, the serving cell of the terminal may be an NTN cell, and the neighboring cell of the terminal may be a TN cell.

[0229] For another example, the serving cell of the terminal may be an NR cell, and the neighboring cell of the terminal may be an E-UTRA cell.

[0230] For another example, the serving cell of the terminal may be a TN cell, and the neighboring cell of the terminal may be an NTN cell.

[0231] In some embodiments, the network type of the service cell of the terminal is a first network type, the network type of the neighboring cell of the terminal is a second network type, and the first network type is the same as the second network type.

[0232] For example, the serving cell of the terminal may be an NTN cell, and the neighboring cell of the terminal may be an NTN cell.

[0233] For another example, the serving cell of the terminal may be a NR cell, and the neighboring cell of the terminal may be a NR cell.

[0234] In some embodiments, the priority configuration information includes one or more of the following information:

[0235] First priority parameter;

[0236] Priority level parameters;

[0237] Priority level step size;

[0238] Priority scaling factor parameter.

[0239] Specifically, the priority configuration information may include information such as a first priority parameter, a priority level parameter, a priority level step, a priority scaling factor parameter, etc. The terminal may obtain the priority of the neighboring cell directly or by calculation through such information.

[0240] The first priority parameter may be expressed as PriorityA, and the first priority parameter may refer to configuring a unified priority parameter P for all TN neighboring cells. TN , or it can refer to configuring a priority parameter P for each TN area TN_area , or it can refer to the priority P configured for each network type type .

[0241] The priority configuration information may also include the priority P configured by the network according to the cell. cell When P is configured cell When the terminal ignores the frequency priority of the cell frequency, or considers that the priority of the cell is equal to the frequency priority + P cell Optionally, other parameters related to reselection use the configuration of the cell frequency. Optionally, in the measurement rule of the cell, the cell is used as a separate item for cell measurement judgment.

[0242] When the terminal determines the priority of the target frequency and / or target cell according to the received priority configuration information, it can determine whether a certain frequency is TN or NTN. If it is a frequency band dedicated to TN and NTN, it can be distinguished according to frequency. If it is a frequency band where TN and NTN overlap, if the priority configuration information of a frequency is associated with a TN area, it is considered that there is a TN neighboring cell of the frequency. If the configuration information of a frequency contains the window parameters (smtc4list) for configuring the measurement of NTN cells, it is considered that there is an NTN neighboring cell of the frequency.

[0243] For example, when smtc4list is configured for a certain frequency point and associated with a TN area, if the terminal is not in the area indicated by the TN area, the terminal does not need to measure the TN neighboring cell of the frequency point, but needs to measure the NTN neighboring cell according to the SSB measurement timing configuration (An SSB-based measurement timing configuration, SMTC) configuration. If the terminal is in the area indicated by the TN area, the terminal performs the measurement of the TN neighboring cell and the NTN neighboring cell of the frequency point.

[0244] For another example, when smtc4list is configured at a certain frequency point and there is no associated TN area, the terminal performs NTN measurement according to the measurement criterion based on the reselection priority.

[0245] For another example, when a frequency point is not configured with smtc4list but is associated with a TN area, if the terminal is not in the area indicated by the TN area, the terminal does not need to measure the TN neighboring cells of the frequency point. If the terminal is in the area indicated by the TN area, the terminal performs the measurement of the TN neighboring cells of the frequency point.

[0246] In the case where the network configuration is based on the priority of the area configuration, the TN area is configured in the system information, such as SIB2 / 4 / 5, and the form of indicating the frequency priority may be one of the following:

[0247] The system information configures three frequencies, frequency 1, frequency 2, and frequency 3, and two TN areas, area 1 and area 2. There are TN neighboring cells of frequency 1 in both area 1 and area 2, and area 1 also has neighboring cells of frequency 2. Then frequency 1 is associated with area 1 and area 2, and the regional priorities of area 1 and area 2 are configured as P1 and P2. Frequency 2 is associated with area 1, and the regional priority of area 1 is configured as P3, where P3 can be the same as or different from P1, that is, the reselection priorities of the same frequency in different areas can be the same or different.

[0248] The system information configures two TN areas, area 1 and area 2, and a frequency list [frequency 1, frequency 2]. Area 1 has frequency 1, and area 2 has frequency 1 and frequency 2. Area 1 is associated with a bitmap [1, 0], and the first bit of the bitmap corresponds to the first entry in the frequency list, that is, frequency 1, and so on. 1 indicates that the frequency exists, and 0 indicates that it does not exist. On this basis, a priority list is configured according to the area to indicate the priority of different frequencies in a certain area. The value of the first entry in the priority list corresponds to the priority of the frequency in the first entry in the frequency list, and the value of the second entry corresponds to the priority of the frequency in the second entry in the frequency list. For example, the priority list format of area 1 can be [P1], and the priority list format of area 2 can be [P2, P3]. P1 can be the same as or different from P2, that is, the reselection priority of the same frequency in different areas can be the same or different.

[0249] The priority determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application adopts priority configuration information related to the area or network type, so that the network can configure the priority according to the area or network type. The terminal can directly obtain the priority of the neighboring area through the priority configuration information or obtain it by calculation, which can improve the efficiency of the terminal during reselection or switching.

[0250] In some embodiments, determining the priority of the target frequency, target cell, target area and / or target network type based on the priority configuration information includes one or more of the following:

[0251] In a case where the priority configuration information includes a first priority parameter, determining that the priority value of the target frequency point and / or the target cell is equal to the value of the first priority parameter;

[0252] In a case where the priority configuration information includes a first priority parameter, determining the priority value of the target frequency and / or target cell based on a value of the first priority parameter and a value of a frequency-level priority parameter;

[0253] In the case where the priority configuration information includes a priority level parameter and a priority level step, determining the priority value of the target frequency and / or target cell based on the value of the priority level parameter, the value of the priority level step and the value of the frequency level priority parameter;

[0254] In the case where the priority configuration information includes a priority scaling factor parameter, the priority value of the target frequency and / or target cell is determined based on the value of the priority scaling factor parameter and the value of the frequency level priority parameter.

[0255] Specifically, the method for determining that the priority value of the target frequency and / or target cell is equal to the value of the first priority parameter can be achieved by defining PriorityA, where PriorityA reuses the existing two-level priority formats cellReselectionPriority and cellReselectionSubPriority, or only defining a first-level priority cellReselectionPriority. If PriorityA is configured, the network may not configure the cellReselectionPriority and cellReselectionSubPriority parameters configured for the frequency; or, if PriorityA is configured, the terminal may ignore the cellReselectionPriority and cellReselectionSubPriority parameters configured for the frequency by the network.

[0256] Taking the network configuration priority according to the area as an example, the network configures the first priority P of TN area A TN_areaA =5, the first priority P of TN area B TN_areaB =6, there are TN neighboring cells with frequency 1 and frequency 2 in TN area A, then the priorities of TN frequency 1 and frequency 2 in TN area A are both 5, there is also a TN neighboring cell with frequency 1 in TN area B, and the priority of TN frequency 1 in TN area B is 6. Frequency 1 and frequency 2 are the frequencies (frequencies) corresponding to the TN neighboring cells.

[0257] The method for determining the priority value of the target frequency and / or target cell based on the value of the first priority parameter and the value of the frequency-level priority parameter can be achieved by defining the value granularity of PriorityA to be greater than the maximum value of cellReselectionPriority.

[0258] For example, the value range of cellReselectionPriority is an integer of 0-7, and the first priority value can be set to 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, ... The terminal can obtain the target frequency priority by calculating the sum of PriorityA, cellReselectionPriority and cellReselectionSubPriority. The target frequency priority can also be obtained by calculating the sum of PriorityA, cellReselectionPriority, cellReselectionSubPriority and other priority-related parameters. The frequency-level priority parameters in the embodiment of the present application refer to the cellReselectionPriority and cellReselectionSubPriority parameters.

[0259] Taking the network configuration priority according to the area as an example, the network configures the first priority P of TN area A TN_areaA =10, there is a TN cell of frequency 1 in the area, where the cellReselectionPriority and cellReselectionSubPriority of frequency 1 are 2 and 0.6 respectively, then the priority of TN frequency 1 is 10+2+0.6=12.6.

[0260] Determining the priority value of the target frequency and / or target cell based on the value of the priority level parameter, the value of the priority level step and the value of the frequency level priority parameter can be achieved by defining the priority level parameter and the step.

[0261] For example, the priority level parameter is defined as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. The priority level parameter can be expressed as cellReselectionPriorityLevel, and the step length is 10, which can be expressed as step. The priority value of the target frequency point calculated by the terminal is cellReselectionPriorityLevel×step+cellReselectionPriority+cellReselectionSubPriority.

[0262] Taking the network configuration priority according to the network type as an example, the network configures the priority level of NR TN to be 2, the step size is 10, there is an NR TN cell with frequency 1, cellReselectionPriority and cellReselectionSubPriority are 2 and 0.6 respectively, then the priority of the TN frequency is 2*10+2+0.6=22.6.

[0263] Determining the priority value of the target frequency and / or target cell based on the value of the priority scaling factor parameter and the value of the frequency-level priority parameter can be achieved by defining a priority scaling factor.

[0264] For example, the priority scaling factor is defined as 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., and the priority scaling factor can be expressed as cellReselectionPrioritySCale. The frequency point priority calculated by the terminal is cellReselectionPrioritySCale×(cellReselectionPriority+cellReselectionSubPriority).

[0265] Taking the network configuring all TN cells with the same priority as an example, the network configures the TN priority scaling factor to be 2. There is an NR TN cell with a frequency of frequency 1. The cellReselectionPriority and cellReselectionSubPriority are 2 and 0.6 respectively. Then the priority of the TN frequency is 2*(2+0.6)=5.2.

[0266] If the network does not configure cellReselectionPriority or cellReselectionSubPriority for the frequency point, the parameter takes a preset value, such as 0 or the same as the serving cell; if the network does not configure PriorityA, cellReselectionPriorityLevel or cellReselectionPrioritySCale, the value of this parameter can be a preset value.

[0267] The priority determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application adopts priority configuration information related to the area or network type, so that the network can configure the priority according to the area or network type. The terminal can directly obtain the priority of the neighboring area through the priority configuration information or obtain it by calculation, which can improve the efficiency of the terminal during reselection or switching.

[0268] In some embodiments, determining the priority of a target frequency, a target cell, a target area, and / or a target network type based on the priority configuration information includes:

[0269] In a case where the priority configuration information includes a first priority parameter, determining a priority value of a target area and / or a target network type associated with the first priority parameter based on a value of the first priority parameter;

[0270] In a case where the priority configuration information includes a priority level parameter and a priority level step, determining a priority value of a target area and / or a target network type associated with the priority level parameter based on a value of the priority level parameter and a value of the priority level step;

[0271] In a case where the priority configuration information includes a priority scaling factor parameter, a priority value of a target area and / or a target network type associated with the priority scaling factor parameter is determined based on the priority scaling factor parameter.

[0272] Specifically, the terminal may first determine the priority value of the area or network type associated with the priority configuration information based on the priority configuration information, and the terminal may perform measurement relaxation, reselection, and other behaviors based on the priority value of the area and / or network type associated with the priority configuration information obtained. The terminal may also determine the priority of the target frequency point and / or target cell based on the priority value of the area or network type associated with the priority configuration information.

[0273] Determining the priority value of the area or network type associated with the first priority parameter based on the value of the first priority parameter can be achieved by defining the first priority parameter.

[0274] For example, the priority value of the area or network type may be the value of the first priority parameter, or may be the first priority parameter plus the values ​​of other priority-related parameters.

[0275] Determining the priority value of the area or network type associated with the priority level parameter based on the value of the priority level parameter and the value of the priority level step can be achieved by defining the priority level parameter and the step.

[0276] For example, the priority value of a region or network type may be a value obtained by multiplying a priority level parameter by a step length, or may be a value obtained by multiplying a priority level parameter by a step length and then adding other priority-related parameters.

[0277] Determining the priority value of the area or network type associated with the priority scaling factor parameter based on the priority scaling factor parameter may be achieved by defining a priority scaling factor.

[0278] For example, the priority value of a region or network type may be the value of a priority scaling factor, or may be the value of a priority scaling factor plus other priority-related parameters.

[0279] The priority determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application adopts priority configuration information related to the area or network type, so that the network can configure the priority according to the area or network type. The terminal can directly obtain the priority of the neighboring area through the priority configuration information or obtain it by calculation, which can improve the efficiency of the terminal during reselection or switching.

[0280] In some embodiments, determining the priority of the target frequency, target cell, target area and / or target network type based on the priority configuration information includes:

[0281] Determining the priority of the serving cell of the terminal based on the priority configuration information;

[0282] Based on the priority configuration information, the cell priority, frequency priority, area priority and / or network type priority of the neighboring area of ​​the terminal are determined.

[0283] Specifically, the cell priority of the neighboring cell of the terminal refers to the priority of each neighboring cell of the terminal, and the priority of each neighboring cell may be the same or different. The neighboring cell of the terminal may include the system information broadcast by the serving cell of the terminal and / or the cells in the neighboring cell list carried in the RRC message. The frequency point priority of the neighboring cell of the terminal refers to the priority of each frequency point of the neighboring cell of the terminal, and the priority of each frequency point may be the same or different. The same frequency point uses the same priority. The neighboring cell frequency point of the terminal may include the system information broadcast by the serving cell of the terminal and / or the frequency point carried in the RRC message. The area priority of the neighboring cell of the terminal refers to the priority of each area, and the area of ​​the neighboring cell of the terminal may include the system information broadcast by the serving cell of the terminal and / or the area carried in the RRC message. The network priority of the neighboring cell of the terminal refers to the priority of the neighboring cells of different network types of the terminal, and the neighboring cells of different network types of the terminal may include the system information broadcast by the serving cell of the terminal and / or the network type of the neighboring cell carried in the RRC message.

[0284] The priority determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application adopts priority configuration information related to the area or network type, so that the network can configure the priority of the terminal's service cell and neighboring cell according to the area or network type. The terminal can directly obtain the priority of the neighboring cell through the priority configuration information or obtain it by calculation, which can improve the efficiency of the terminal during reselection or switching.

[0285] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0286] Determine whether the cell priority, frequency priority, area priority and / or network type priority of the neighboring area of ​​the terminal meets a preset condition, and execute a first behavior.

[0287] Specifically, the terminal can compare the priority of the terminal's service cell with the cell priority, frequency priority, area priority and / or network type priority of the terminal's neighboring cell. If the comparison result meets the preset conditions, the terminal can perform the first behavior for the area or network type or frequency or cell associated with the priority configuration information.

[0288] The cell priority of the terminal's neighboring area refers to the cell priority of the target cell, the frequency priority of the terminal's neighboring area refers to the priority of the target frequency of the neighboring area, the area priority of the terminal's neighboring area refers to the priority of the target area where the neighboring area is located, and the network type priority of the terminal's neighboring area refers to the priority of the network type of the neighboring area.

[0289] For example, the regional priority P1 of the TN area is determined, and the priority of the serving cell is P2. If P1 and P2 meet the preset conditions, the terminal performs the first behavior on the TN neighboring cell or TN frequency point in the TN area.

[0290] The first behavior may include, but is not limited to, cell reselection, measurement, relaxed measurement, measurement reporting, and access selection. Among them, the measurement may include connected state measurement, non-connected state measurement, layer three measurement, layer one measurement, etc. The relaxed measurement may include connected state relaxed measurement, non-connected state relaxed measurement, etc. The relaxed measurement may include layer three relaxed measurement, and may also include layer one relaxed measurement. The measurement report may include layer three measurement reporting, and may also include layer one measurement reporting. Access selection may include target cell access based on terminal evaluation, conditional switching, reconstructed cell access, PScell ​​access, etc. The cell corresponding to the area or network type associated with the priority configuration information here refers not only to the frequency corresponding to the neighboring cell of the terminal service cell and / or the neighboring cell of the service cell, but also to the cell corresponding to the area or network type mentioned in the embodiment of the present application.

[0291] Taking cell reselection as an example, the specific steps are as follows:

[0292] 1. The network configures parameters related to cell reselection, including frequency, priority, and parameters related to cell reselection measurement rules.

[0293] Among them, the serving cell may be a TN cell or an NTN cell, the neighboring cell may be a TN cell and / or an NTN cell, wherein the NTN cell type may be: an earth moving cell, an earth fixed cell or a quasi-earth fixed cell; the configuration method may be configured through system information broadcast or through dedicated signaling, the system information may be an existing SIB, such as SIB2 / 3 / 4 / 5, or a newly defined SIB, and the dedicated signaling may be an RRCRelease message; the priority may be one or more of the following: the existing priority parameters cellReselectionPriority and cellReselectionSubPriority, and the priority configuration information related parameters introduced in the present invention.

[0294] 2. After receiving the configuration information, the terminal determines the priority of the serving cell and the neighboring cell according to the received priority configuration information, where the priority of the neighboring cell can be the priority of the neighboring cell frequency or the priority of the preset area or the priority of different network types of the neighboring cell.

[0295] 3. After determining the reselection priority, if the preset conditions are met, the terminal performs measurement according to the cell reselection measurement rule.

[0296] 4. The terminal selects a cell based on the existing cell reselection criterion (R criterion).

[0297] The priority determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application adopts priority configuration information related to the area or network type, so that the network can configure the priority according to the area or network type. The terminal can directly obtain the priority of the neighboring area through the priority configuration information or obtain it by calculation, which can improve the efficiency of the terminal during reselection or switching.

[0298] In some embodiments, the preset conditions include one or more of the following conditions:

[0299] The cell priority, frequency priority, area priority and / or network type priority of the neighboring cell of the terminal is higher than the priority of the serving cell of the terminal;

[0300] The cell priority, frequency priority, area priority and / or network type priority of the neighboring cell of the terminal is less than or equal to the priority of the serving cell of the terminal;

[0301] The cell priority, frequency priority, area priority and / or network type priority of the neighboring cell of the terminal is lower than the priority of the serving cell of the terminal;

[0302] The cell priority, frequency priority, area priority and / or network type priority of the neighboring cell of the terminal is higher than or equal to the priority of the serving cell of the terminal.

[0303] Specifically, the terminal can compare the priority of the service cell with the cell priority, frequency priority, area priority and / or network type priority of the terminal's neighboring cells. If the comparison result meets the preset conditions, the terminal can perform the first behavior for the area, network type, frequency or cell associated with the priority configuration information.

[0304] For example, a situation where the priority of a cell corresponding to an area or network type associated with the priority configuration information is higher than the priority of a serving cell may be that the priority of TN area 1 is higher than the priority of the serving cell.

[0305] For another example, the situation where the priority of the cell corresponding to the area or network type associated with the priority configuration information is less than or equal to the priority of the serving cell may be that the priority of TN area 2 is less than or equal to the priority of the serving cell.

[0306] For another example, the situation where the priority of the cell corresponding to the area or network type associated with the priority configuration information is lower than the priority of the serving cell may be that the priority of the NR TN is lower than the priority of the serving cell.

[0307] For another example, the situation where the priority of the cell corresponding to the area or network type associated with the priority configuration information is higher than or equal to the priority of the serving cell may be that the priority of NR NTN is higher than or equal to the priority of the serving cell.

[0308] The priority determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application adopts priority configuration information related to the area or network type, so that the network can configure the priority according to the area or network type. The terminal can directly obtain the priority of the neighboring area through the priority configuration information or obtain it by calculation, which can improve the efficiency of the terminal during reselection or switching.

[0309] In some embodiments, the first behavior includes one or more of the following behaviors:

[0310] Cell reselection;

[0311] Measurement;

[0312] Relaxation measurement;

[0313] Measurement reporting;

[0314] Access selection.

[0315] Specifically, the terminal can compare the priority of the service cell with the cell priority, frequency priority, area priority and / or network type priority of the neighboring cell of the terminal. If the comparison result meets the preset conditions, the terminal can perform the first behavior for the cell corresponding to the area, network type, frequency or cell associated with the priority configuration information. The first behavior may include but is not limited to cell reselection, measurement, relaxation measurement, measurement reporting, and access selection. Among them, the measurement may include connection state measurement, non-connection state measurement, etc., and the measurement may include layer three measurement or layer one measurement. The relaxation measurement may include connection state relaxation measurement, non-connection state relaxation measurement, etc., and the relaxation measurement may include layer three relaxation measurement or layer one relaxation measurement. The measurement report may include layer three measurement reporting or layer one measurement reporting. The access selection may include target cell access, conditional switching, reconstructed cell access, PScell ​​access, etc. based on terminal evaluation.

[0316] Taking non-connected state measurement as an example, after determining the reselection priority, the terminal will determine the neighboring cell to be measured based on the cell reselection measurement criteria. There are the following situations:

[0317] (1) After determining the reselection priority of each frequency point according to cellReselectionPriority, cellReselectionSubPriority and first priority related parameters, measurements are performed according to the existing cell reselection measurement rules and sorted according to the R criterion.

[0318] (2) According to the first priority, exclude cells / frequencies / network types whose first priority is lower than the priority of the current serving cell, and then sort the R criteria according to the existing cellReselectionPriority and cellReselectionSubPriority. For example, in a scenario where the network configures priorities according to network types, the current terminal resides in a NR NTN cell, the network type priority of NR NTN is 2, the network type priority of NR TN is 3, and the network type priority of IoT NTN is 1, then the terminal needs to measure the NR TN neighboring cell but not the IoT NTN neighboring cell. The terminal will sort and select the cells in the neighboring cells of NR NTN and NR TN according to the existing cellReselectionPriority and cellReselectionSubPriority.

[0319] (3) In the scenario where the network configures priorities based on regions, in areas where a certain TN frequency is not covered, the terminal does not need to perform measurements of neighboring cells of the TN frequency. If the terminal is within the coverage of the TN area, the terminal determines the priority of the frequency associated with the TN area based on cellReselectionPriority, cellReselectionSubPriority, and the first priority related parameters, performs measurements based on the existing cell reselection measurement rules, and sorts them based on the R criterion.

[0320] The priority determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application adopts priority configuration information related to the area or network type, so that the network can configure the priority according to the area or network type. The terminal can directly obtain the priority of the neighboring area through the priority configuration information or obtain it by calculation, which can improve the efficiency of the terminal during reselection or switching.

[0321] In some embodiments, the priority configuration information also includes parameters for determining the first behavior.

[0322] Specifically, the priority configuration information may also include parameters for determining the first behavior. The parameters for determining the first behavior may include parameters for determining a cell-level measurement amount, parameters for a cell reselection criterion, and the like.

[0323] Parameters used to determine cell-level measurement quantities may include:

[0324] A parameter indicating the number of beams that can be used to select the highest ranked cell, denoted as nrofSS-BlocksToAverage;

[0325] A parameter indicating the minimum threshold that can be used to select the beam of the highest ranked cell, denoted as absThreshSS-BlocksConsolidation;

[0326] Indicates a threshold value. Cells with R values ​​higher than the threshold can be used as candidate cells, expressed as rangeToBestCell.

[0327] Parameters used for cell reselection criteria may include:

[0328] The minimum reception (Rx) level required by the cell, denoted as q-RxLevMin;

[0329] The minimum quality level required for the cell, denoted as q-QualMin;

[0330] The cell reselection timer value is denoted as t-Reselection or Treselection RAT ;

[0331] The terminal selects the receiving level value (Srxlev) threshold of the cell when reselecting to a lower priority, expressed as Thresh X,LowP ;

[0332] The cell quality value (Squal) threshold when the terminal reselects to a lower priority cell, expressed as Thresh X,LowQ ;

[0333] The Srxlev threshold when the terminal reselects to a higher priority level, expressed as Thresh X,HighQ ;

[0334] The Squal threshold when the terminal reselects to a higher priority level, expressed as Thresh X,HighP ;

[0335] The offset value used to calculate the R value, expressed as Qoffset X , where X corresponds to some of the frequencies / network types / TN areas mentioned above.

[0336] For example, if the network configures nrofSS-BlocksToAverage, absThreshSS-BlocksConsolidation and rangeToBestCell according to the area, the network does not configure or the terminal ignores the nrofSS-BlocksToAverage, absThreshSS-BlocksConsolidation and rangeToBestCell parameters configured by the network according to the frequency point. In the cell reselection process, the terminal applies the parameters configured by the network according to the area. Other parameters are processed similarly.

[0337] The priority determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application adopts priority configuration information related to the area or network type, so that the network can configure the priority according to the area or network type, and by configuring other related parameters, it can improve the efficiency of the terminal during reselection or switching.

[0338] In some embodiments, the priority configuration information also includes first indication information, and the first indication information is used to use the frequency level priority parameter of the previous entry of the current frequency in the frequency usage list as the frequency level priority parameter of the current frequency when the frequency level priority parameter of the current frequency is missing.

[0339] Specifically, the priority configuration information may further include first indication information, where the first indication information is used to indicate how the terminal processes the priority parameters configured by the network.

[0340] The indication information can be implemented by 1 bit.

[0341] If this bit appears: When the priority cellReselectionPriority of a frequency point in the system information is missing, the terminal can determine that the priority of the frequency point is the same as the priority of the frequency point in the previous entry, for example, [frequency point 1: priority is P1; frequency point 2: priority is missing], then the terminal can determine that the priority of frequency point 2 is equal to P1. If the priority cellReselectionPriority of a frequency point is not missing, the configured priority is used.

[0342] If this bit is missing: If the priority of a frequency point in the system information is missing, the terminal believes that the network has not configured the priority of the frequency point. If the priority of a frequency point in the system information is not missing, the configured priority is used.

[0343] It is worth mentioning that the priority configuration information may include the first indication information and the first priority parameter, priority level parameter, priority level step, priority scaling factor parameter and other information at the same time, or may include only one of the above information.

[0344] The priority determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application adopts priority configuration information related to the area or network type, so that the network can configure the priority according to the area or network type, and by configuring other related parameters, it can improve the efficiency of the terminal during reselection or switching.

[0345] In some embodiments, the first indication information is further used to use preconfigured parameters as the frequency level priority parameters of the current frequency when the frequency level priority parameters of the current frequency are complete.

[0346] Specifically, the priority configuration information may also include first indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate how the terminal processes the priority parameter configured by the network. If the priority of the frequency point in the system information is not missing, the first indication information may indicate that the frequency point uses the priority configured by the network.

[0347] The priority determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application adopts priority configuration information related to the area or network type, so that the network can configure the priority according to the area or network type, and by configuring other related parameters, it can improve the efficiency of the terminal during reselection or switching.

[0348] In some embodiments, the network configures an area for the terminal through system information or dedicated signaling, where the area is a geographical location, for example, represented by a coordinate point and a radius. The network also indicates frequency information associated with the area and the frequencies of cells appearing in the area.

[0349] For the association between regions and frequencies, one implementation method may be to define a region list and a frequency information list, wherein each region in the region list is associated with a mapping table bitmap of the frequency information list, and each bit in the mapping table corresponds to a frequency with a corresponding serial number in the frequency information list. In the mapping table, the bit corresponding to a certain frequency takes 0 to indicate that there is no cell with the frequency in the region, and takes 1 to indicate that there is a cell with the frequency. If the mapping table for the region does not appear, the terminal understands that all frequencies in the region need to be measured, or the terminal understands that the mapping table for the region is the same as the mapping table corresponding to the previous region in the region list.

[0350] For the association between regions and frequencies, another implementation method may be to define a region list and a frequency information list, wherein each frequency in the frequency information list is associated with a mapping table bitmap of the region list, and each bit in the mapping table corresponds to a region with a corresponding serial number in the region list. In the mapping table, the bit corresponding to a certain region is 0, indicating that the frequency does not appear in the region, and is 1, indicating that the frequency appears in the region. If the mapping table associated with a certain frequency does not appear, the terminal understands that the frequency needs to be measured in all regions, or the terminal understands that the mapping table of the frequency is the same as the mapping table corresponding to the previous frequency in the frequency information list.
