[0034] Exemplary embodiments are described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all possible implementations consistent with the present invention.

[0036] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used to describe various information in the embodiments of the present disclosure, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the words used herein may be interpreted as when, when, or in response to a determination.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1, which shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a wireless communication system provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1, the wireless communication system is a communication system based on cellular mobile communication technology, and the wireless communication system may include: a plurality of UEs 11 and a plurality of access devices 12.

[0038] UE 11 may refer to a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user. UE 11 may communicate with one or more core networks via a radio access network (RAN). UE 11 may be an IoT UE, such as a sensor device, a mobile phone (or cellular phone), and a computer with an IoT UE. For example, it may be a fixed, portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-built-in, or vehicle-mounted device. For example, a station (STA), a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, an access point, a remote terminal, an access terminal, a user terminal, a user agent, a user device, or a user equipment (UE). Alternatively, UE 11 may be a device of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Alternatively, UE 11 may be a vehicle-mounted device, such as a driving computer with wireless communication capabilities, or a wireless communication device connected to an external driving computer. Alternatively, the UE 11 may also be a roadside device, for example, a street lamp, a traffic light, or other roadside device with a wireless communication function.

[0039] The access device 12 may be a network-side device in a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system may be a fourth generation mobile communication technology (4G) system, also known as a long term evolution (LTE) system; or, the wireless communication system may be a 5G system, also known as a new radio (NR) system or a 5G NR system. Alternatively, the wireless communication system may be a next generation system of the 5G system. The access network in the 5G system may be referred to as NG-RAN (New Generation-Radio Access Network). Alternatively, an MTC system.

[0040] Among them, the access device 12 can be an evolved access device (eNB) adopted in a 4G system. Alternatively, the access device 12 can also be an access device (gNB) that adopts a centralized distributed architecture in a 5G system. When the access device 12 adopts a centralized distributed architecture, it usually includes a centralized unit (CU) and at least two distributed units (DU). The centralized unit is provided with a protocol stack of a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer, a radio link layer control protocol (RLC) layer, and a media access control (MAC) layer; the distributed unit is provided with a physical (PHY) layer protocol stack. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the specific implementation method of the access device 12.

[0041] A wireless connection can be established between the access device 12 and the UE 11 via a wireless air interface. In different implementations, the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on the fourth generation mobile communication network technology (4G) standard; or, the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on the fifth generation mobile communication network technology (5G) standard, for example, the wireless air interface is a new air interface; or, the wireless air interface can also be a wireless air interface based on the next generation mobile communication network technology standard of 5G.

[0042] In the 5G system, due to the adoption of the dual connectivity (DC) architecture, a UE that supports dual connectivity may have two cells or candidate cell groups.

[0043] Master cell or master cell group (MCG), corresponding to the master node (MN) on the network side;

[0044] The secondary cell or secondary cell group (SCG) corresponds to the secondary node (SN) on the network side.

[0045] The MCG includes: one primary cell (PCell) and one or more secondary cells (SCells).

[0046] An SCG includes one primary secondary cell or a primary secondary cell group (PSCell) and one or more SCells. PCell and PSCell can be collectively referred to as a special cell (SpCell) or a special cell group.

[0047] Exemplarily, each cell or candidate cell group is allocated a serving cell or candidate cell group configuration (eg, ServingCellConfig).

[0048] The serving cell (or serving cell group) configuration is associated with a serving cell or candidate cell group identifier (eg, ServCellIndex).

[0049] This identifier can be used to uniquely identify a serving cell or a candidate cell group within the terminal.

[0050] The serving cell or candidate cell group identifier of the PCell is 0.

[0051] One serving cell or candidate cell group is associated with one Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) entity, and the HARQ entity includes multiple HARQ processes.

[0052] When configuring UE measurement reporting, the configuration includes:

[0053] measurement object configuration;

[0054] measurement report configuration;

[0055] Each measurement reporting configuration may include a specific measurement reporting triggering event. The events (measurement events) that trigger user equipment (UE) measurement result reporting in the current communication system mainly include:

[0056] Type A events used for measurements on this communication system:

[0057] Event A1 (Serving becomes better than threshold) means that the signal quality of the serving cell or the candidate cell group is better than the threshold.

[0058] Event A2 (Serving becomes worse than threshold) means that the signal quality of the serving cell or the candidate cell group is lower than the threshold.

[0059] Event A3 (Neighbour becomes offset better than PCell / PSCell) means that the signal quality of the neighboring cell or candidate cell group is better than the signal quality of the PCell / PSCell by a certain value.

[0060] Event A4 (Neighbour becomes better than threshold), that is, the signal quality of the neighboring cell or candidate cell group is better than the threshold.

[0061] Event A5 (PCell / PSCell becomes worse than threshold1 and neighbor becomes better than threshold2), that is, the PCell / PSCell signal quality is lower than the threshold, and the neighbor cell or candidate cell group signal quality is better than the threshold.

[0062] Event A6 (Neighbour becomes offset better than SCell) means that the signal quality of the neighboring cell or candidate cell group is better than the signal quality of the SCell by a certain value.

[0063] Type B events used for measurements on different communication systems:

[0064] Event B1 (Inter RAT neighbor becomes better than threshold), that is, the signal quality of the inter-system neighbor cell or candidate cell group is better than the threshold.

[0065] Event B2 (PCell becomes worse than threshold1 and inter RAT neighbor becomes better than threshold2): the PCell / PSCell signal quality is lower than the threshold, and the inter-system neighbor cell or candidate cell group signal quality is better than the threshold.

[0066] The UE's measurement results are based on the configuration of different measurement events. When the entry condition of the measurement event is met, a timer is started. After the timer corresponding to the entry condition expires, the UE reports the measurement results. After the entry condition of the measurement event is met, if the UE's measurement results meet the leaving condition, the UE stops the timer and decides whether to report the measurement results when the leaving condition is met based on the network configuration.

[0067] The mobility process based on conditional triggering can be as follows:

[0068] In the 5G system, the terminal can be based on the network pre-configured conditions and the pre-configured cells or candidate cell groups corresponding to the conditions. When the terminal meets the pre-configured conditions (such as a specific measurement event), the terminal changes the serving cell or candidate cell group to the pre-configured cell or candidate cell group. The mobility process triggered by the conditions includes:

[0069] Conditional Handover (CHO);

[0070] Conditional PSCell Addition (CPA)

[0071] Conditional PSCell Change (CPC)

[0072] The terminal may also change the serving cell or candidate cell group configuration according to the network instruction after satisfying the pre-configured conditions, for example, changing the terminal's PCell configuration from candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-1 to candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-2.

[0073] As shown in FIG2 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by a terminal. The method includes:

[0074] S1110: Perform corresponding operations on the measurement of the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose configuration has been changed.

[0075] The terminal may be any type of terminal that supports dual connectivity, specifically a mobile phone, tablet computer, wearable device, vehicle-mounted device, smart home device, and / or smart office device.

[0076] The terminal may be configured with multiple candidate cells or multiple candidate cell groups.

[0077] The serving cell of the terminal may be one or more of a plurality of candidate cells.

[0078] The serving cell group of the terminal may be: one or more of a plurality of candidate cell groups.

[0079] Which candidate cells or candidate cell groups the terminal has may be indicated by a configuration (ie, configuration information) sent by a network device such as a base station.

[0080] In some embodiments, after the network device configures a candidate cell or candidate cell group for the terminal, the configuration of the terminal's candidate cell or candidate cell group may change due to changes in the cell and / or wireless environment and / or cell load.

[0081] Exemplarily, the method further includes:

[0082] It is determined that the configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group has changed.

[0083] Determining that the configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group has changed may include at least one of the following:

[0084] A network indication is received, wherein the network indication indicates a configuration change of a candidate cell or a candidate cell group.

[0085] A trigger event is detected when a configuration change of a candidate cell or candidate cell group is detected.

[0086] The event information of the triggering event may be pre-configured via RRC signaling or MAC CE.

[0087] Therefore, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG3A , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by a network device. The method includes:

[0088] S1210: Receive network instruction;

[0089] S1220: Determine, according to the network instruction, the candidate cell and / or candidate cell group whose configuration has been changed;

[0090] S1230: Perform corresponding operations on the measurement of the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose configuration has been changed.

[0091] Therefore, in some other embodiments, as shown in FIG3B , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by a network device. The method includes:

[0092] S1310: Determine event information of a triggering event. Exemplarily, the event information may include event information configured by a network device through network signaling and / or event information agreed upon by a network protocol.

[0093] S1320: Determine, according to the network instruction, the candidate cell and / or candidate cell group whose configuration has been changed;

[0094] S1330: Perform corresponding operations on the measurement of the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose configuration has been changed.

[0095] In some embodiments, the configuration change of a candidate cell or a candidate cell group may include at least one of the following:

[0096] A change in the configuration state of a candidate cell or candidate cell group, for example, between an available state and an unavailable state;

[0097] The configuration content of the candidate cell or the candidate cell group is changed. For example, the configuration content of the candidate cell or the candidate cell group is changed, which may be: a configuration update of the candidate cell or the candidate cell group.

[0098] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the network device may indicate configuration changes of a candidate cell or a candidate cell group to the terminal through network signaling.

[0099] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, if the configuration of a candidate cell or a candidate cell group changes, the terminal will perform corresponding operations related to the measurement of the candidate cell or candidate cell group with the changed configuration based on the configuration change of the candidate cell or the candidate cell group without the need for additional signaling instructions from the network device.

[0100] Operations related to the measurement of the candidate cell or candidate cell group include, but are not limited to: measurement operations of the candidate cell or candidate cell group and / or reporting operations of measurement reports of the candidate cell or candidate cell group.

[0101] In this way, without the need for additional signaling, if the terminal determines that the configuration of the candidate cell and / or candidate cell group has changed, the measurement will also change synchronously. On the one hand, the measurement change corresponding to the configuration change of the candidate cell and / or candidate cell group is realized, and on the other hand, the instruction overhead required for the measurement change is reduced.

[0102] In some embodiments, performing corresponding operations on the measurement of the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose configuration has changed includes:

[0103] The configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group is changed from an available state to an unavailable state, and a measurement report of the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose configuration is changed to an unavailable state is not reported.

[0104] If the configuration of the candidate cell is in an available state, the serving cell of the terminal may select the candidate cell; and if the configuration of the candidate cell group is in an available state, the serving cell group of the terminal may select the candidate cell group.

[0105] If the configuration of the candidate cell is changed to an unavailable state, the terminal's serving cell will not select the candidate cell, and if the configuration of the candidate cell group is changed to an unavailable state, the terminal's serving cell group will not select the candidate cell group.

[0106] Therefore, when the configuration of a candidate cell or a candidate cell group switches from an available state to an unavailable state, the terminal may stop reporting measurement reports of these candidate cells or candidate cell groups, thereby reducing unnecessary reporting.

[0107] Exemplarily, the configuration of a candidate cell switches from an available state to an unavailable state in at least the following two situations:

[0108] The configuration of the candidate cell and / or candidate cell group is deactivated, for example, the configuration of the corresponding cell and / or candidate cell group is deactivated according to network signaling and / or protocol agreement;

[0109] and / or,

[0110] The configuration of the candidate cell and / or candidate cell group is updated, so that the original configuration of the candidate cell and / or candidate cell group is changed from an available state to an unavailable state.

[0111] There are many reasons why the configuration of the terminal candidate cell and / or candidate cell group switches from an available state to an unavailable state, and the specific implementation is not limited to the above examples.

[0112] The candidate cells include: a reference cell and a non-reference cell; and / or the candidate cell group includes: a reference cell group and a non-reference cell group.

[0113] The reference cell is different from the non-reference cell. The reference cell group is different from the non-reference cell group.

[0114] Therefore, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0115] Determine whether the candidate cell that changes from the available state to the unavailable state is a reference cell; and / or determine whether the candidate cell group that changes from the available state to the unavailable state is a reference subgroup.

[0116] The reference cell is an important cell for the terminal, and the reference cell group is an important cell group for the terminal. At this time, even if the configuration of the reference cell and / or the reference cell group changes, if the terminal stops measuring the reference cell, it may cause a large delay when the terminal needs to use the reference cell and / or the reference cell group for communication later.

[0117] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group is changed from an available state to an unavailable state, and the measurement report of the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose configuration is changed to an unavailable state is not reported, including:

[0118] The configuration of a non-reference cell or a non-reference cell group is changed from an available state to an unavailable state, and a measurement report of the non-reference cell or the non-reference cell group whose configuration is changed to the unavailable state is not reported.

[0119] The non-reference cell is a candidate cell other than the reference cell. The non-reference cell group may be a candidate cell group other than the reference cell group.

[0120] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, only when the configuration of the non-reference cell and / or non-reference cell group is switched from an available state to an unavailable state, it is determined not to report the measurement report of the non-reference cell and / or non-reference cell group with the changed configuration.

[0121] In some embodiments, performing corresponding operations on the measurement of the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose configuration has changed includes:

[0122] In response to determining that the configuration of the candidate cell is changed from an available state to an unavailable state and the candidate cell is a reference cell, maintaining reporting of a measurement report of the reference cell according to a measurement configuration of the reference cell;

[0123] or,

[0124] In response to determining that the configuration of the candidate cell group is changed from an available state to an unavailable state and the candidate cell group is a reference cell group, reporting of the measurement report of the reference cell group is maintained according to the measurement configuration of the reference cell group.

[0125] If the candidate cell that changes from the available state to the unavailable state is a reference cell, measurement-related operations are performed according to the measurement configuration of the cell.

[0126] In other embodiments, reference cells and non-reference cells may not be distinguished, and the measurement report non-execution operation may be uniformly performed on candidate cells and / or candidate cell groups configured in an unavailable state.

[0127] In some embodiments, the configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group is changed from an available state to an unavailable state, and a measurement report of the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose configuration is changed to an unavailable state is not reported, including at least one of the following:

[0128] The configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group changes from an available state to an unavailable state, and the measurement event configured for the candidate cell or candidate cell group that is determined to be changed to an unavailable state is not satisfied;

[0129] The configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group changes from an available state to an unavailable state, and all measurement events of the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose configuration changes to an unavailable state are determined to be unsatisfactory;

[0130] The configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group changes from available to unavailable, and the measurement event associated with the conditionally triggered mobility procedure is determined to be unsatisfied;

[0131] The configuration of a candidate cell or candidate cell group changes from an available state to an unavailable state, and the measurement configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group that has been changed to an unavailable state is partially or completely deleted;

[0132] The configuration of a candidate cell or candidate cell group changes from an available state to an unavailable state, and the measurement of the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose configuration changes to an unavailable state is stopped;

[0133] The configuration of a candidate cell or candidate cell group changes from an available state to an unavailable state, and the measurement results of the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose configuration changes to an unavailable state are discarded;

[0134] The configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group is changed from an available state to an unavailable state, and the measurement configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose configuration is changed to an unavailable state is deactivated.

[0135] If the configuration of a candidate cell or candidate cell group is changed from an available state to an unavailable state, the measurement configuration for the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose configuration is changed to an available state does not need to be effective or the measurement result reporting is useless.

[0136] In order to reduce unnecessary measurement reports, various methods may be used to reduce unnecessary signaling overhead and / or unnecessary measurements.

[0137] Exemplarily, for example, measurement is no longer performed according to the measurement configuration of a candidate cell or candidate cell group configured as unavailable, or measurement results are no longer reported, or measurement events that do not meet the requirements for measurement result reporting are determined, or measurement configuration is deactivated, or measurement results are discarded, etc., thereby reducing the signaling overhead generated by measurement reporting.

[0138] For example, a measurement configuration has two states: an active state and an inactive state. An active measurement configuration is a currently available configuration, and the terminal will perform measurements on candidate cells and / or candidate cell groups based on the active measurement configuration. An inactive measurement configuration is a currently unavailable configuration, and even if the terminal locally stores the inactive measurement configuration, it will not perform measurements on candidate cells or candidate cell groups based on the measurement configuration.

[0139] The measurement events herein may include: events A1 to A6, and / or events B1 to B2, and / or events in a mobility process triggered based on conditions.

[0140] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, there are multiple ways for the shielded terminal to report the measurement results, and the specific implementation is not limited to any of the above. In some embodiments, the measurement configuration includes:

[0141] Measurement object configuration;

[0142] and / or,

[0143] Measurement reporting configuration.

[0144] Exemplarily, the measurement object configuration (measurement object configured) may include: a measurement frequency point and / or a measurement cell reference signal, etc.

[0145] The measurement reporting configuration may include indicating which events require reporting of measurement results, for example, determining all or part of events A1 to A6 and / or events B1 to B2 as triggering events for triggering measurement result reporting.

[0146] In some embodiments, the reference cell includes: a primary cell and / or a primary and secondary cell; and a cell designated by a network device.

[0147] The primary cell, the primary cell, and the cell designated by the network device are relatively special cells for the terminal. Therefore, as reference cells, when the configuration of the reference cell switches from an available state to an unavailable state, the terminal may need to continue to refer to the cell and report the measurement results of the reference cell.

[0148] In some embodiments, the reference cell includes one or more of: a primary cell, a primary and secondary cell, and a network device designated cell;

[0149] and / or,

[0150] The reference cell group includes at least one of the following:

[0151] The candidate cell group where the primary cell is located;

[0152] The candidate cell group where the primary and secondary cells are located; the special cell group consisting of the primary cell and the primary and secondary cells;

[0153] A cell group specified by a network device.

[0154] .

[0155] In some embodiments, if the configuration change occurs in a candidate cell group, the candidate cell group may include a reference cell group and a non-reference cell group. The reference cell group may be any of the above cell groups.

[0156] In some embodiments, performing corresponding operations on measurement reports of a candidate cell or candidate cell group whose configuration has changed includes:

[0157] The configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group is changed from an unavailable state to an available state, and a measurement report of the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose configuration is changed to an available state is reported.

[0158] In addition to switching from an unavailable state to an available state, the configuration change may, for example, directly determine that measurement reports need to be reported adaptively. In this case, the terminal will resume reporting measurement reports without special instructions from the network device.

[0159] In some embodiments, the configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group is changed from an unavailable state to an available state, and reporting a measurement report of the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose configuration is changed to an unavailable state includes at least one of the following:

[0160] The configuration of a candidate cell or a candidate cell group is changed from an unavailable state to an available state, and evaluation of a measurement event of the candidate cell or the candidate cell group changed to the available state is initiated;

[0161] The configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group is changed from an unavailable state to an available state, and measurement of the candidate cell or candidate cell group changed to the available state is started;

[0162] The configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group is changed from an unavailable state to an available state, and the measurement configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group changed to the available state is activated;

[0163] The configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group is changed from an unavailable state to an available state, and reporting of measurement results of the candidate cell or candidate cell group changed to the available state is started.

[0164] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by starting the evaluation of the measurement event, starting the measurement, activating the measurement configuration and starting the reporting of the measurement result, the measurement result reporting of the candidate cell or candidate cell group when the configuration switches from the unavailable state to the available state is achieved.

[0165] In some embodiments, the configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group is changed from an unavailable state to an available state, and initiating reporting of measurement results of the candidate cell or candidate cell group changed to the available state includes:

[0166] The configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group is changed from an unavailable state to an available state, and the N1th measurement result of the candidate cell or candidate cell group that has changed to the available state before the start time is reported; N1 is a positive integer;

[0167] or,

[0168] The configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group is changed from an unavailable state to an available state, and N2 measurement results of the candidate cell or candidate cell group changed to the available state before the start time are reported; the N2 is a positive integer.

[0169] Assume that when the configuration of a candidate cell or candidate cell group is in an unavailable state, measurement is not stopped and the measurement results are retained locally, but the measurement results are not reported. After the configuration switches from the unavailable state to the available state, the measurement results at the current moment and / or the measurement results at one or more historical moments before the current moment can be reported to a network device such as a base station.

[0170] If the configuration of the candidate cell and / or candidate cell group changes to an available state at the current moment, the reporting of the measurement report will be initiated. At this time, the N1th measurement result at the current moment or the N2th measurement result before the current moment can be reported to the network device according to the protocol agreement, the pre-definition of the network device such as the base station, or the network instruction.

[0171] In some embodiments, if the candidate cell and / or candidate cell group configuration is changed to an available state at the current moment, the reporting of the measurement report will be initiated to determine whether the N1th measurement result at the current moment meets the event that triggers the measurement result reporting. If the corresponding event is met, the N1th measurement result will be reported.

[0172] In other embodiments, if the configuration of the candidate cell and / or candidate cell group is changed to an available state at the current moment, the reporting of the measurement report will be initiated to determine whether there is at least one measurement result in the previous N2 measurement results before the current moment that meets the event that triggers the reporting of the measurement result. If so, the previous N2 measurement results before the current moment will be reported to the network device, or the measurement results of the previous N2 measurement results that meet the event that triggers the reporting of the measurement result will be reported to the network device.

[0173] In some embodiments, performing corresponding operations on measurement reporting of a candidate cell or candidate cell group whose configuration has changed includes: updating the configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group, and performing measurement reporting according to the updated configuration of the corresponding candidate cell or candidate cell group.

[0174] In some embodiments, if the configuration of the candidate cell and / or candidate cell group is updated, the measurement configuration will be updated accordingly, and the corresponding candidate cell and / or candidate cell group will be measured, the measurement event will be evaluated, and the measurement results will be reported according to the updated measurement configuration.

[0175] Exemplarily, if the measurement configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group is not synchronously updated after the configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group is updated, the measurement configuration before the configuration of the candidate cell and / or candidate cell group is updated can be referred to to perform measurement of the candidate cell, candidate cell group, measurement event evaluation and measurement report reporting.

[0176] As another example, if the measurement configuration is updated synchronously after the configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group is updated, the old measurement configuration is deactivated or invalidated, and the measurement, measurement event evaluation and measurement report of the corresponding candidate cell and / or candidate cell group are performed according to the updated measurement configuration.

[0177] As shown in FIG4A , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by a network device. The method includes:

[0178] S2120: Determine the candidate cell or candidate cell group in which the terminal configuration has changed.

[0179] S2220: Perform corresponding operations on the measurement report of the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose terminal configuration has changed.

[0180] The network device may be an access network device, etc. The access network device may be a base station.

[0181] The network equipment will configure candidate cells and / or candidate cell groups for the terminal. After the candidate cells and / or candidate cell groups are configured for the terminal, the configuration of the candidate cells and / or candidate cell groups may change due to network capacity switching, user relocation, and / or changes in the network environment.

[0182] In some embodiments, determining the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose terminal configuration has changed may include: determining whether the configuration of the terminal's candidate cell and / or candidate cell group has sent a change based on a configured trigger event.

[0183] In other embodiments, the candidate cell or candidate cell group in which the terminal configuration change occurs is determined according to a protocol agreement.

[0184] In some embodiments, after determining a candidate cell or candidate cells in which the configuration of the terminal has changed, a network device such as a base station will inform the terminal through a network indication.

[0185] That is, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG54B , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is executed by a network device, and the method includes:

[0186] S2210: Determine a candidate cell or candidate cell group in which the terminal configuration has changed;

[0187] S2220: Perform corresponding operations on the measurement report of the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose terminal configuration has changed.

[0188] S2230: A network indication is sent to inform the terminal of the configuration change of one or more cells or candidate cell groups.

[0189] Base stations and other network devices perform operations consistent with terminal behavior on the measurement reporting of candidate cells or candidate cell groups whose configurations have changed according to network instructions. In this way, base stations and other network devices can synchronize measurement configurations, etc. according to the configuration status changes of candidate cells or candidate cell groups without additional network signaling, thereby reducing unnecessary cell measurements, measurement event evaluations and / or measurement result reporting.

[0190] In some embodiments, the performing corresponding operations on the measurement report of the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose terminal configuration has changed includes:

[0191] The configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group changes from an available state to an unavailable state, and the reception of measurement reports of the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose configuration has changed is stopped;

[0192] or,

[0193] The configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group is changed from an unavailable state to an available state, and reception of a measurement report of the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose configuration has been changed is initiated;

[0194] or,

[0195] The configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group is updated, and measurement report reception is performed according to the updated configuration of the corresponding candidate cell or candidate cell group.

[0196] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, if the configuration of a candidate cell or candidate cell group of a terminal is changed to an unavailable state, a network device such as a base station may stop receiving measurement reports of the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose configuration has become unavailable.

[0197] If the configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group of the terminal is changed to an available state, the network device such as the base station starts receiving the measurement report of the candidate cell and / or candidate cell group with the changed configuration.

[0198] If the configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group of the terminal is updated, it is determined whether to receive the measurement report of the candidate cell and / or candidate cell group with the updated configuration according to the updated measurement configuration.

[0199] In some embodiments, the method further includes: determining whether the candidate cell changed from the available state to the available state is a reference cell; and / or determining whether the candidate cell group changed from the available state to the available state is a reference group.

[0200] The configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group is changed from an available state to an unavailable state, and the reception of measurement reports of the candidate cell or candidate cell group whose configuration has been changed is stopped, including:

[0201] The configuration of a non-reference cell or a non-reference cell group is changed from an available state to an unavailable state, and the measurement report of the non-reference cell or the non-reference cell group whose configuration is changed to an unavailable state is stopped; wherein, the non-reference cell is the candidate cell different from the reference cell; the non-reference cell group is: the candidate cell group different from the reference cell group.

[0202] The candidate cells of the terminal can be divided into: reference cells and non-reference cells. When the configuration of the non-reference cell changes, the terminal determines whether to receive the measurement report based on the changed status or configuration.

[0203] If the configuration where the state change or content update occurs is a candidate cell or a candidate cell group, the reception of the measurement report is maintained.

[0204] In some embodiments, the reference cell includes: a primary cell and / or a primary and secondary cell; and a cell designated by a network device.

[0205] The primary cell, the primary cell, and the cell designated by the network device are relatively special cells for the terminal. Therefore, as reference cells, when the configuration of the reference cell switches from an available state to an unavailable state, the terminal may need to continue to refer to the cell and report the measurement results of the reference cell.

[0206] In some embodiments, the reference cell group includes: the candidate cell group where the primary cell is located, and / or, the candidate cell group where the primary and secondary cells are located; and / or, the reference cell group includes: the special cell group consisting of the primary cell and the primary and secondary cells; and / or, the reference cell group includes: the cell group specified by the network device.

[0207] When the network side configures measurement reporting for the terminal, the network device on the network side sends activation or deactivation signaling of the L1 layer / L2 layer signaling, or according to the configured trigger event, when the terminal changes the serving cell or candidate cell group, the terminal and the base station will respectively perform measurement reporting related operations on the candidate cell and / or candidate cell that performs the configuration change.

[0208] For example, the configuration of serving cell (or serving cell group)-1 is activated, and / or the configuration of serving cell (or serving cell group)-2 is deactivated, and how the terminal processes its measurement and / or measurement configuration.

[0209] Processing the measurement and / or measurement configuration of the candidate cell and / or candidate cell group with configuration change may include: how to handle the measurement event in the evaluation process, how to process the measurement results to be reported, and how to process the measurement configuration.

[0210] Through these processes, the problem that needs to be solved is to ensure that the terminal and the network have a consistent understanding of the terminal's measurement behavior. For example, if the terminal measures and reports on a cell or candidate cell group 1, but the network equipment determines that the terminal is measuring and reporting on a cell or candidate cell group 2, the corresponding network equipment will continue to receive measurement reports.

[0211] Through the terminal processing behavior specified in the network configuration or protocol, when the terminal changes the serving cell or candidate cell group, the terminal can process the measurements of the serving cell (or serving cell group) before and after the change, so that the terminal side and the network side have consistent understanding of the terminal's measurement behavior.

[0212] When the configuration of a candidate cell or candidate cell group currently used by the terminal changes, the terminal processes the measurement associated with the configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group according to the network configuration or protocol agreement.

[0213] The terminal's actions of processing the measurement include at least one of the following:

[0214] If the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is changed to an unavailable state, the measurement event corresponding to the cell or candidate cell group associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is considered to be unsatisfied.

[0215] If the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is changed to an unavailable state, all measurement events are considered unsatisfied.

[0216] If the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is changed to an unavailable state, all measurement events corresponding to the measurement configuration that are used for a mobility process triggered based on a condition are considered unsatisfied.

[0217] If a candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is changed to an unavailable state, part or all of the measurement configurations associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration are deleted.

[0218] The situation where the configuration of a candidate cell or candidate cell group is changed to an unavailable state may include at least one of the following:

[0219] The candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is deactivated;

[0220] The candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is instructed to stop being used.

[0221] The measurement configurations that are deleted include at least one of the following:

[0222] Measurement event configuration;

[0223] measurement identification;

[0224] Measurement object configuration.

[0225] If the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is changed to an unavailable state, the cell or candidate cell group measurement corresponding to the cell or candidate cell group associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is stopped.

[0226] If the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is changed to an unavailable state, the measurement results corresponding to the cell or candidate cell group associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration are discarded.

[0227] The situation where the configuration of a candidate cell or candidate cell group is changed to an unavailable state may include at least one of the following:

[0228] The candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is deactivated;

[0229] The candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is instructed to stop being used.

[0230] The terminal performs measurement processing according to the reference cell or candidate cell group indicated by the network or agreed upon by the protocol.

[0231] If the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is changed to an available state, evaluation of measurement events corresponding to the cell or candidate cell group associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is initiated.

[0232] If the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is changed to an available state, cell or candidate cell group measurement corresponding to the cell or candidate cell group associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is started.

[0233] If the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is changed to an available state, the measurement results corresponding to the cells or candidate cell groups associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration are reported.

[0234] The serving cell measurement results reported by the terminal include: the measurement results of the cell or candidate cell group that was activated for the nth time before the current moment, where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. Where n is the network configuration or protocol agreement.

[0235] The serving cell measurement results reported by the terminal include: measurement results of cells or candidate cell groups that have been activated for n consecutive times, where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. n is a network configuration or protocol agreement.

[0236] In some embodiments, when a candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group configuration currently used by the terminal changes, the terminal processes measurements associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group configuration according to network configuration or protocol agreement.

[0237] When the network device determines that the configuration of the candidate cell (or candidate cell group) currently used by the terminal has changed, the network processes the measurement associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration according to the network configuration or protocol agreement.

[0238] Furthermore, the processing of the measurement associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0239] The candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group measurement result of the terminal measurement event evaluation is considered to be: the cell or candidate cell group measurement result indicated by the network device or agreed upon by the protocol.

[0240] The candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group measurement result reported by the terminal is considered to be: the cell or candidate cell group measurement result indicated by the network device or agreed upon by the protocol.

[0241] Step 1: The network provides the terminal with one or more candidate cells, candidate cell groups, or candidate cell group configurations. For example, the candidate cell or candidate cell group configurations are provided via an RRCReconfiguration message. Simultaneously, the network provides the terminal with measurement configurations.

[0242] The purpose of the measurement configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0243] Used for mobility procedures triggered based on conditions;

[0244] Used for measurement reporting.

[0245] Step 2: According to one or more candidate cells or candidate cell groups or candidate cell group configurations in step 1, when the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration currently used by the terminal changes, the terminal processes the measurement.

[0246] The triggering conditions for a change in the candidate cell, candidate cell group, or candidate cell group configuration currently used by the terminal include any of the following:

[0247] The terminal receives an indication information sent by the network side to change the currently used candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group configuration, for example, DCI, or MAC CE, or RRC message), indicating that the terminal's primary cell (PCell) configuration and thus the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-1 is changed to the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-2.

[0248] The terminal satisfies the preconfigured conditions, for example, after the terminal's measurement result for PCell satisfies the A3 event, the terminal changes the PCell configuration from the candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group configuration-1 to the candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group configuration-2.

[0249] The terminal's actions of processing the measurement include at least one of the following:

[0250] If the candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group configuration is changed to an unavailable state. For example, the candidate cell and / or candidate cell is deactivated or instructed to stop using. At this time, the measurement event corresponding to the cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group configuration is considered not satisfied. For example, if the configuration of the secondary cell (SCell-1) is changed from candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group configuration-1 to candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-2, the measurement event A6 of the SCell-1 associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is considered not satisfied.

[0251] If a candidate cell or a candidate cell group or a candidate cell group configuration is changed to an unavailable state, for example, the candidate cell and / or the candidate cell configuration is deactivated or instructed to stop being used, all measurement events are considered unsatisfied.

[0252] If the candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group configuration is changed to an unavailable state, for example, the candidate cell and / or the configuration of the candidate cell is deactivated or instructed to stop using, then all measurement events corresponding to the measurement configuration for the purpose of using the conditionally triggered mobility process are considered to be unsatisfied.

[0253] If a candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group configuration changes to an unavailable state, for example, the candidate cell and / or candidate cell configuration is activated or instructed to be deactivated, part or all of the measurement configuration associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is deleted.

[0254] The measurement configurations that are deleted include at least one of the following:

[0255] Measurement event configuration;

[0256] measurement identification;

[0257] Measurement object configuration;

[0258] If a candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group configuration changes to an unavailable state, for example, the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is deactivated or instructed to stop using, the cell or candidate cell group measurement corresponding to the cell or candidate cell group associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is stopped.

[0259] For example, if the configuration of the PSCell changes from candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-1 (corresponding cell or candidate cell group-1) to candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-2 (corresponding cell or candidate cell group-1), the measurement of the cell or candidate cell group-1 associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-1 is stopped.

[0260] If the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is changed to an unavailable state, the measurement results corresponding to the cell or candidate cell group associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration are discarded.

[0261] For example, if the configuration of the PCell changes from candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-1 (corresponding cell or candidate cell group-1) to candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-2 (corresponding cell or candidate cell group-2), the measurement results of the cell or candidate cell group-1 associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-1 are discarded.

[0262] The terminal performs measurement processing according to the reference cell or candidate cell group indicated by the network or agreed upon by the protocol. For example, the configuration of the PCell is changed from candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-1 (corresponding to cell or candidate cell group-1) to candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-2 (corresponding to cell or candidate cell group-2), and the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-1 (corresponding to cell or candidate cell group-1) and then the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-2 (corresponding to cell or candidate cell group-2) are all associated with the PCell. The network side can specify the cell or candidate cell group-1 as the reference cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group for the measurement event evaluation corresponding to the PCell.

[0263] For example, if the measurement event corresponding to the PCell is A3, then the PCell measurement corresponding to the A3 event is the measurement of the cell designated as the reference cell or the candidate cell group or the candidate cell group-1).

[0264] For example, the configuration of PCell is changed from candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group configuration-1 (corresponding cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group-1) to candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-2 (corresponding cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group-2), and the candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group configuration-1 (corresponding cell or candidate cell group-1) and then the candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group configuration-2 (corresponding cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group-2) are all associated with the PCell. It can be agreed by agreement that the cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group-1 with a front number (or the cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group or candidate cell group-1 with a front configuration of the candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group (list)) is the reference cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group for the measurement event evaluation corresponding to the PCell.

[0265] For example, if the measurement event corresponding to the PCell is A3, the PCell measurement corresponding to the A3 event is the measurement of the cell designated as the reference cell or the candidate cell group or the candidate cell group-1.

[0266] The behavior of performing measurement processing according to the reference cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group indicated by the network or agreed upon by the protocol includes at least one of the following:

[0267] Perform measurements on the reference cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group

[0268] Record the measurement results of the reference cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group

[0269] Report the measurement results of the reference cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group

[0270] The measurement result of the reference cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group is used as the measurement result of the corresponding serving cell or candidate cell group in the measurement event.

[0271] The measurement result of the reference cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group is used as the measurement result of the serving cell or candidate cell group in the measurement report.

[0272] If a candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group configuration changes to an available state, for example, is activated or indicated to start use, evaluation of measurement events corresponding to the cell or candidate cell group associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group configuration is initiated.

[0273] For example, if the configuration of SCell-1 changes from candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group configuration-1 to candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group configuration-2, the evaluation of measurement event A6 of SCell-1 associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is initiated.

[0274] If a candidate cell, candidate cell group, or candidate cell group configuration is changed to be available (e.g., activated or indicated to be used), cell or candidate cell group measurements corresponding to the cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group or candidate cell group configuration are initiated. (e.g., if the configuration of the PSCell is changed from candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-1 (corresponding to cell or candidate cell group-1) to candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-2 (corresponding to cell or candidate cell group-2), measurements of the cell or candidate cell group-1 associated with candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-1 are initiated).

[0275] If the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration is changed to be available (eg, activated or instructed to start using), the measurement results corresponding to the cells or candidate cell groups associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration are reported.

[0276] For example, if the configuration of the PCell changes from candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-1 (corresponding to cell or candidate cell group-1) to candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-2 (corresponding to cell or candidate cell group-2), the measurement result of the cell or candidate cell group-1 associated with the candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-1 is reported after the measurement event is met.

[0277] The serving cell measurement result reported by the terminal includes the measurement result of the cell or candidate cell group activated for the nth time, where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. n is a network configuration or protocol agreement.

[0278] For example, if the configuration of the PCell is changed from candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-1 (corresponding to cell or candidate cell group-1) to candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-2 (corresponding to cell or candidate cell group-2), the measurement result of the currently activated cell corresponds to n=1, corresponding to candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-2 (corresponding to cell or candidate cell group-2). The measurement result of the previously activated cell corresponds to n=2, corresponding to candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-1 (corresponding to cell or candidate cell group-1, and so on.

[0279] The serving cell measurement results reported by the terminal include the measurement results of the cells or candidate cell groups that have been activated for the last n consecutive times, where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. Wherein, n is the network configuration or protocol agreement. (For example, the configuration of the PCell is changed from candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-1 (corresponding to cell or candidate cell group-1) to candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration-2 (corresponding to cell or candidate cell group-2). When n=1, the terminal only reports the measurement results of the currently activated cell-2. When n=2, the terminal reports the measurement results of the currently activated cell-2 and the previously activated cell-1, and so on.

[0280] The cell or candidate cell group in the above-mentioned behavior of the terminal processing the measurement may be limited to the serving cell or the candidate cell group.

[0281] The usage of the measurement configuration in the above-mentioned behavior of the terminal processing the measurement can be limited to any of the following:

[0282] Used for mobility procedures triggered based on conditions;

[0283] Used for measurement reporting;

[0284] The above-mentioned candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration change to unavailable or candidate cell or candidate cell group configuration change to available may be a cell configuration change process. For example, the configuration of cell-1 is changed from configuration-1 to configuration-2.

[0285] The reference cell or candidate cell group may be configured as an associated cell or candidate cell group for a candidate cell or candidate cell group currently activated and used by agreement.
