Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a communication method and device. Background Art

[0002] Satellite communication has its own unique advantages over ground communication, such as providing a wider coverage area; satellite base stations are not easily damaged by natural disasters or external forces. The introduction of satellite communication in the fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G) can provide communication services for areas such as oceans and forests that cannot be covered by ground communication networks, enhancing the high coverage of 5G communication. It can also enhance the reliability of 5G communication. For example, satellite communication can ensure that users who take high-speed mobile transportation such as airplanes and trains can obtain better communication services. Satellite communication can provide more data transmission resources for 5G communication and increase the network speed. Therefore, supporting communication with both the ground and satellite is an inevitable trend for future 5G communication. It has great advantages in wide coverage, reliability, multiple connections, and high throughput.

[0003] The biggest features of satellite communication are high mobility and large communication delay. Compared with terrestrial communication, the characteristic of satellite communication is that the terminal needs to synchronize with the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) information and ephemeris information on the basis of the existing uplink synchronization. Therefore, the terminal needs to perform GNSS measurement to obtain GNSS information. However, due to the imperfect resource allocation in the current GNSS measurement process, the success rate of GNSS measurement is low. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application provides a communication method and device for improving the success rate of GNSS measurement.

[0005] In order to achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] In a first aspect, a communication method is provided, which is applied to a terminal, where the terminal may refer to the terminal itself, or to a processor, module, chip, or chip system in the terminal that implements the method. The terminal is configured with a first time interval for global navigation satellite system measurement, and the terminal is configured with a second time interval for wireless resource management measurement, and the first time interval and the second time interval are at least partially overlapped. The method includes: using the first time interval to perform global navigation satellite system measurement, and using a third time interval to perform wireless resource management measurement. The third time interval is a time interval delayed from the second time interval, and the third time interval is determined based on the second time interval and the global navigation satellite system measurement. Alternatively, the second time interval is used for wireless resource management measurement, and a fourth time interval is used for global navigation satellite system measurement. The fourth time interval is a time interval delayed from the first time interval, and the fourth time interval is determined based on the first time interval and the wireless resource management measurement.

[0007] In the first aspect, when a first time interval for GNSS measurement and a second time interval for RRM measurement configured by the terminal at least partially overlap, the first time interval is used for GNSS measurement, and a third time interval that does not overlap with the first time interval is used for RRM measurement (or, the second time interval is used for RRM measurement, and a fourth time interval that does not overlap with the second time interval is used for GNSS measurement), thereby avoiding conflicts between GNSS measurement and RRM measurement and improving the success rate of GNSS measurement and RRM measurement.

[0008] In a possible implementation, the method may further include: determining a measurement priority of a global navigation satellite system measurement and a measurement priority of a radio resource management measurement. Using a first time interval to perform global navigation satellite system measurement, and using a third time interval to perform radio resource management measurement, includes: when the measurement priority of the global navigation satellite system measurement is higher than the measurement priority of the radio resource management measurement, using the first time interval to perform global navigation satellite system measurement, and using the third time interval to perform radio resource management measurement. Using a second time interval to perform radio resource management measurement, and using a fourth time interval to perform global navigation satellite system measurement, includes: when the measurement priority of the global navigation satellite system measurement is not higher than the measurement priority of the radio resource management measurement, using the second time interval to perform radio resource management measurement, and using the fourth time interval to perform global navigation satellite system measurement.

[0009] In this implementation, the delayed time interval is determined according to the measurement priority of the GNSS measurement and the measurement priority of the RRM measurement, thereby ensuring that the measurement with a higher priority is executed first.

[0010] In a possible implementation, determining the measurement priority of the global navigation satellite system measurement and the measurement priority of the radio resource management measurement includes: determining a first delay value of an end time of a first time interval compared to a start time of a second time interval, and determining a second delay value of an end time of the second time interval compared to a start time of the first time interval. When the first delay value is less than the second delay value, determining that the priority of the global navigation satellite system measurement is higher than the priority of the radio resource management measurement. Otherwise, determining that the priority of the global navigation satellite system measurement is not higher than the priority of the radio resource management measurement.

[0011] In this implementation, the priority of GNSS measurement and RRM measurement is determined based on the first delay value of the third time interval compared to the second time interval and the second delay value of the fourth time interval compared to the first time, which can reduce the delay time.

[0012] In a possible implementation, determining a measurement priority of a global navigation satellite system measurement and a measurement priority of a radio resource management measurement includes: receiving measurement priority indication information, where the measurement priority indication information indicates the measurement priority of the global navigation satellite system measurement and the measurement priority of the radio resource management measurement, and determining the measurement priority of the global navigation satellite system measurement and the measurement priority of the radio resource management measurement according to the measurement priority indication information.

[0013] In this implementation, the network device indicates the measurement priority of the GNSS measurement and the measurement priority of the RRM measurement, which can ensure that the measurement with a higher priority is performed first.

[0014] In one possible implementation, a fifth time interval between a start time of the third time interval and a completion time of the global navigation satellite system measurement is greater than the first time threshold. The method further includes: receiving radio resource management configuration information at the fifth time interval. Performing radio resource management measurement at the third time interval includes: performing radio resource management measurement at the third time interval according to the radio resource management configuration information.

[0015] In this implementation, the fifth time interval is used to receive the RRM configuration information, which improves the time utilization. In addition, the RRM measurement is performed according to the received RRM configuration information, and the received RRM configuration information has better timeliness, which improves the accuracy of the RRM measurement.

[0016] In a possible implementation, a fifth time interval between the start time of the third time interval and the completion time of the global navigation satellite system measurement is greater than the first time threshold. The method further includes: sending measurement result information of the global navigation satellite system measurement at the fifth time interval.

[0017] In this implementation, the fifth time interval is used to send the measurement result information of the GNSS measurement to the network device, which improves the time utilization rate and enables the network device to obtain the measurement result information of the GNSS measurement in a timely manner.

[0018] In a possible implementation, the terminal obtains multiple first measurement results of multiple time intervals through radio resource management measurement before the first time interval. The method also includes: discarding at least one measurement result of the multiple first measurement results.

[0019] In this implementation, invalid measurement results among the multiple first measurement results measured before the first time interval are discarded to ensure the accuracy of the RRM measurement.

[0020] In a possible implementation, the second time interval includes multiple sub-intervals. The third time interval is a time interval in which all the multiple sub-intervals are extended. Alternatively, the third time interval includes a target sub-interval. The target sub-interval includes a sub-interval after removing the sub-interval overlapping with the first time interval from the multiple sub-intervals.

[0021] In a possible implementation, the method further includes: when the global navigation satellite system measurement is completed at a first time interval, starting the radio resource management measurement at a first moment. The first moment is determined according to the moment of completion of the global navigation satellite system measurement. When the radio resource management measurement is completed at a second time interval, starting the global navigation satellite system measurement at a second moment. The second moment is determined according to the moment of completion of the radio resource management measurement.

[0022] In this implementation, when the GNSS measurement is completed at the first time interval, the RRM measurement is started at the first moment, thereby ensuring that the RRM measurement is performed in a timely manner.

[0023] In a possible implementation, the first moment is a completion moment of the global navigation satellite system measurement, or the first moment is a moment when the completion moment of the global navigation satellite system measurement is delayed by a second time threshold. The second moment is a completion moment of the radio resource management measurement, or the second moment is a moment when the completion moment of the radio resource management measurement is delayed by a third time threshold.

[0024] In one possible implementation, when a first time interval is used to perform global navigation satellite system measurements and the start time of the first time interval is later than the start time of the second time interval, the method also includes: using a sixth time interval to perform wireless resource management measurements; wherein the sixth time interval is the time interval between the start time of the first time interval and the start time of the second time interval; using a third time interval to perform wireless resource management measurements, including: when the wireless resource management measurements using the sixth time interval fail, using the third time interval to perform wireless resource management measurements.

[0025] In a possible implementation, when a second time interval is used for wireless resource management measurement and a start time of a first time interval is earlier than a start time of a second time interval, the method further includes: using a sixth time interval for global navigation satellite system measurement; wherein the sixth time interval is a time interval between a start time of the first time interval and a start time of the second time interval; and using a fourth time interval for global navigation satellite system measurement, including: when the sixth time interval for global navigation satellite system measurement fails, using the fourth time interval for global navigation satellite system measurement.

[0027] In the second aspect, the measurement priority of the GNSS measurement and the measurement priority of the RRM measurement are indicated by the network device, so that the measurement with a higher priority can be performed first.

[0028] In a third aspect, a communication method is provided, and the method is applied to a terminal, where the terminal may refer to the terminal itself, or to a processor, module, chip, or chip system that implements the method in the terminal. The terminal is configured with a first time interval for global navigation satellite system measurement, and the terminal is configured with a second time interval for wireless resource management measurement, and the first time interval and the second time interval are separated by a seventh time interval. The method includes: using the first time interval to perform global navigation satellite system measurement. If the global navigation satellite system measurement is not completed using the first time interval, continuing to perform global navigation satellite system measurement in the seventh time interval. If the global navigation satellite system measurement is completed in the seventh time interval, using the second time interval to perform wireless resource management measurement. If the global navigation satellite system measurement is not completed in the seventh time interval, entering an idle state.

[0029] In the third aspect, for the scenario where the time intervals of the GNSS measurement and the RRM measurement do not overlap, the GNSS measurement is continued using the seventh time interval between the first time interval and the second time interval, thereby further ensuring the success rate of the GNSS measurement.

[0030] In a possible implementation, the seventh time interval is less than the fourth time threshold, and the method further includes:

[0031] When the radio resource management measurement is completed, measurement result information of the global navigation satellite system measurement is sent.

[0032] In this implementation, the measurement result information of the GNSS measurement is not sent in the seventh time interval. Instead, the measurement result information of the GNSS measurement is sent to the network device when the RRM measurement is completed, thereby improving the success rate of sending the measurement result information of the GNSS measurement.

[0083] It should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" in the specification, claims and drawings of the present application are used to distinguish different objects rather than to describe a specific order. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units that are not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units that are inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0084] It should be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, "at least one (item)" refers to one or more, "multiple" refers to two or more, "at least two (items)" refers to two or three and more than three, and "and / or" is used to describe the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, "A and / or B" can represent: only A exists, only B exists, and A and B exist at the same time, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship. "At least one of the following (items)" or similar expressions refers to any combination of these items, including any combination of single items (items) or plural items (items). For example, at least one of a, b or c can represent: a, b, c, "a and b", "a and c", "b and c", or "a and b and c", where a, b, c can be single or multiple. It should be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, "B corresponding to A" means that B is associated with A. For example, B can be determined based on A. It should also be understood that determining B based on A does not mean determining B based only on A, but B can also be determined based on A and / or other information.

The "network" and "system" appearing in the embodiments of the present application express the same concept, and the communication system is the communication network.

[0086] Satellite communications have their own unique advantages over terrestrial communications, such as providing a wider coverage area; satellite base stations are not easily damaged by natural disasters or external forces. Supporting communications with both the ground and satellites is an inevitable trend for future 5G communications, which has great advantages in wide coverage, reliability, multiple connections, and high throughput.

[0087] The biggest features of satellite communication are high mobility and large communication delay. Compared with terrestrial communication, the characteristic of satellite communication is that the terminal needs to synchronize based on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) information and ephemeris information on the basis of the existing uplink synchronization. For terminals of the Internet of Things (IoT), the existing standards have enhanced the communication mode of short-term connection in view of the characteristics of most IoT services that are short-packet periodic transmission. The so-called short-term connection here refers to the connection process in which the terminal finally exits the connection state after initiating access with the network device and sending uplink data. During this process, the terminal is in the connection state for a short time. It is believed that the GNSS information (information related to the terminal's geographical location, such as the terminal's coordinates, longitude, latitude, altitude, etc.) obtained by the terminal before random access is always valid, that is, during the entire connection process, the GNSS information does not need to be updated and can meet the synchronization requirements. However, when the terminal is in the connection state for a long time, the terminal may move, which may cause the GNSS information to expire. Therefore, the existing standards cannot support satellite communication scenarios where the terminal is in a connected state for a long time.

[0088] In order to overcome the inability of existing standards to support satellite communication scenarios where the terminal is in a connected state for a long time, the network device side currently configures the GNSS measurement interval for the terminal in the connected state, allowing the terminal to perform GNSS measurements within the measurement interval of the connected state, so that the terminal can remain in the connected state for a long time without retreating to the IDLE state, so as to meet the communication needs of the terminal in the satellite communication scenario where the terminal is in a connected state for a long time. However, if the GNSS measurement interval is configured for the terminal, it may conflict with some intervals that the terminal has already configured, causing the GNSS measurement to fail. For example, the radio resource management (RRM) measurement interval. The terminal cannot perform RRM measurements when performing GNSS measurements, or it cannot perform GNSS measurements when performing RRM measurements.

[0089] It can be seen that due to the imperfect resource allocation in the current GNSS measurement process, the success rate of GNSS measurement is low.

[0090] In order to solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a communication method. The method provided by the embodiment of the present application is described below in conjunction with the drawings in the specification.

Among them, 5G can also be called new radio (NR).

[0092] The communication method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various communication scenarios, for example, it can be applied to one or more of the following communication scenarios: enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC), machine type communication (MTC), massive machine type communication (mMTC), device to device (D2D), vehicle to everything (V2X), vehicle to vehicle (V2V), and Internet of things (IoT), etc.

In the embodiment of the present application, the communication system is introduced by taking the terminal as UE as an example.

[0095] Network equipment: mainly used to implement at least one function of resource scheduling, wireless resource management, and wireless resource control of the terminal. Specifically, the network equipment may include any of base stations, wireless access points, transceiver points (transmission receive point, TRP), transmission points (transmission point, TP) and some other access nodes. The network equipment communicates with the core network equipment through wired or wireless means, such as through the next generation (next generation, NG) interface. Signaling interactions such as switching can be performed between different network devices through the Xn interface. In an embodiment of the present application, the device for implementing the function of the network device may be a network device; it may also be a device that can support the network device to implement the function, such as a chip system, which can be installed in the network device or used in combination with the network device. In an embodiment of the present application, the communication system is introduced by taking the network device as a base station as an example.

[0096] Core network equipment: responsible for maintaining the subscription data of the mobile network and providing functions such as session management, mobility management, policy management, and security authentication for terminals.

Optionally, it may also include application function (AF) and unified data repository (UDR). For the introduction of the above network elements, please refer to the existing technology and will not be repeated here.

[0097] Ground station: responsible for forwarding signaling and business data between network equipment and core network equipment.

[0098] In one embodiment, if Figure 1-a As shown, in the communication system, the base station can be deployed on the ground and communicated with the ground station to send and receive signaling and business data.

[0099] In one embodiment, if Figure 1-b As shown, in the communication system, the base station can be deployed on the satellite and communicated with the ground station through a wireless link to send and receive signaling and business data.

[0100] In one embodiment, if Figure 1-c As shown, in the communication system, base stations can be deployed on satellites, and base stations on different satellites can perform signaling interaction and user data transmission through Xn interfaces.

[0101] It should be noted that Figure 1-a , Figure 1-b ,as well as Figure 1-c This is only an exemplary framework diagram, in which the number of nodes included and the states of the terminals are not limited. Figure 1-a , Figure 1-b ,as well as Figure 1-c In addition to the functional nodes shown, other nodes may also be included, such as gateway devices, application servers, etc., without limitation.

[0102] Based on the communication system provided in the embodiment of the present application, the embodiment of the present application also provides a communication method, which is applied to a terminal. Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a communication method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0103] S210, performing GNSS measurement at a first time interval.

[0104] The terminal is configured with a first time interval for GNSS measurement, and the terminal is also configured with a second time interval for RRM measurement. The RRM measurement may measure the serving cell of the terminal, may measure the neighboring cell of the terminal, or may measure the serving cell and the neighboring cell of the terminal at the same time. In the communication scenario of this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the first time interval and the second time interval at least partially overlap.

[0105] S220, performing RRM measurement at a third time interval.

[0106] Among them, Figure 4 As shown, the third time interval is a time interval delayed from the second time interval. The second time interval includes a plurality of sub-intervals. Figure 5 As shown, the third time interval may be a time interval in which multiple sub-intervals are all extended. Figure 6 As shown, the third time interval may also include the remaining subintervals after removing the subintervals overlapping with the first time interval from the multiple subintervals, which are called target subintervals. For the scenario where the third time interval includes the target subinterval, if the target subinterval is not sufficient to support the completion of the RRM measurement, a new subinterval may be added after the target subinterval to ensure the completion of the RRM measurement. Figure 7 As shown, the second time interval includes five sub-intervals A, B, C, D, and E, sub-interval A is removed, and sub-interval F is supplemented. The third time interval is determined based on the second time interval and the global navigation satellite system measurement. The duration of the third time interval is the same as or similar to that of the second time interval. Exemplarily, the third time interval can be determined based on the second time interval and the completion time of the global navigation satellite system measurement. Specifically, the start time of the third time interval is later than the completion time of the global navigation satellite system measurement. In this example, the start time of the third time interval can be set to the next moment of the completion time of the global navigation satellite system measurement, or the start time of the third time interval can also be set to a time separated by a period of time from the completion time of the global navigation satellite system measurement. The "time separated by a period of time" can be used to send GNSS measurement result information, and can also be used to receive RRM measurement configuration information.

[0107] In another example, the third time interval can be determined according to the second time interval and the configuration time of the global navigation satellite system measurement (i.e., the first time interval), and specifically, the third time interval is configured as a time interval that does not overlap with the first time interval. Since the terminal configuration measurement time interval is generally equivalent to the measurement time required for the corresponding measurement, configuring the third time interval as a time interval that does not overlap with the first time interval can generally avoid conflicts between GNSS measurements and RRM measurements.

[0108] In an embodiment of the present application, when a first time interval for GNSS measurement and a second time interval for RRM measurement configured by the terminal at least partially overlap, the first time interval is used for GNSS measurement, and a third time interval that does not overlap with the first time interval is used for RRM measurement, thereby avoiding conflicts between GNSS measurement and RRM measurement and improving the success rates of GNSS measurement and RRM measurement.

[0109] In another embodiment, the third time interval is a time interval that is advanced by the second time interval. The third time interval is determined based on the second time interval and the global navigation satellite system measurement, or the third time interval can be determined based on the second time interval and the configuration time of the global navigation satellite system measurement, as described above. The RRM measurement can be performed in advance.

[0110] In one embodiment, if Figure 8 As shown, the method may further include the following steps:

[0111] S810: Perform RRM measurement at a second time interval.

[0112] Among them, referring to the introduction of S210-S220, the terminal is configured with a first time interval for GNSS measurement, and the terminal is also configured with a second time interval for RRM measurement, which will not be repeated here.

[0113] S820, perform GNSS measurement at a fourth time interval.

[0114] Among them, Fig. 9 As shown, the fourth time interval is a time interval delayed from the first time interval, and the fourth time interval is determined according to the first time interval and the completion time of the radio resource management measurement. In other words, the GNSS measurement time interval is delayed in this embodiment. Specifically, the start time of the fourth time interval is later than the end time of the RRM measurement. Exemplarily, the start time of the fourth time interval can be set to the next moment of the end time of the RRM measurement, and the start time of the fourth time interval can also be set to a time interval between the end time of the RRM measurement and a certain period of time. The duration of the fourth time interval is the same as or similar to that of the first time interval.

[0115] In an embodiment of the present application, when a first time interval for GNSS measurement and a second time interval for RRM measurement configured by the terminal at least partially overlap, the second time interval is used for RRM measurement, and a fourth time interval that does not overlap with the second time interval is used for GNSS measurement, thereby avoiding conflicts between GNSS measurement and RRM measurement and improving the success rates of GNSS measurement and RRM measurement.

[0116] In one embodiment, if Fig.10 As shown, the method may also include:

[0117] S101: Determine measurement priority.

[0118] Among them, steps S210-S220 and steps S810-S820 respectively introduce the implementation methods of delaying RRM measurement and delaying GNSS measurement. Whether the second time interval of the RRM measurement is delayed or the first time interval of the GNSS measurement is delayed can be determined according to the measurement priority. The measurement priority represents the measurement priority of the GNSS measurement relative to the RRM measurement.

[0119] Exemplarily, if the measurement priority of the GNSS measurement is higher than the measurement priority of the RRM measurement, the GNSS measurement is performed at the first time interval, and the RRM measurement is performed at the third time interval. That is, S210 - S220 are executed.

[0120] In another example, if the measurement priority of the GNSS measurement is not higher than the measurement priority of the RRM measurement, the RRM measurement is performed at the second time interval, and the GNSS measurement is performed at the fourth time interval. That is, S810 to S820 are executed.

[0121] In the embodiment of the present application, the delayed time interval is determined according to the measurement priority of the GNSS measurement and the measurement priority of the RRM measurement, thereby ensuring that the measurement with a higher priority is executed first.

[0122] In one embodiment, if Fig.11 As shown, S101 (determining measurement priority) may include:

[0123] S110: Determine a first delay value of the end time of the first time interval compared to the start time of the second time interval, and determine a second delay value of the end time of the second time interval compared to the start time of the first time interval.

[0124] Among them, referring to the introduction of the third time interval in S220, since the start time of the third time interval depends on the end time of the GNSS measurement, the first delay value is similar to the delay value of the third time interval relative to the second time interval. Similarly, referring to the introduction of the fourth time interval in S820, since the start time of the fourth time interval depends on the end time of the RRM measurement, the second delay value is similar to the delay value of the fourth time interval relative to the first time interval. By comparing the first delay value and the second delay value, it can be used to decide whether to delay the RRM measurement or the GNSS measurement.

[0125] In another implementation manner, the first delay value is determined according to the first time interval and the fourth time interval, and the second delay value is determined according to the second time interval and the third time interval.

[0126] S111: When the first delay value is smaller than the second delay value, determine that the priority of the GNSS measurement is higher than the priority of the RRM measurement.

[0127] Wherein, if the first delay value is less than the second delay value, it is estimated that the delay time required for delaying the GNSS measurement is greater than the delay time required for the RRM measurement. From the perspective of reducing the delay time, a delay strategy with a smaller delay time is implemented, that is, when the first delay value is less than the second delay value, the priority of the GNSS measurement is determined to be higher than the priority of the RRM measurement, so as to delay the measurement that requires a smaller delay time.

[0128] In another case, if the first delay value is not less than the second delay value, it is estimated that the delay time required for delaying the GNSS measurement is not greater than the delay time required for the RRM measurement. From the perspective of reducing the delay time, a delay strategy with a smaller delay time is implemented, that is, when the first delay value is not less than the second delay value, it is determined that the priority of the GNSS measurement is not higher than the priority of the RRM measurement, so as to delay a type of measurement that requires a smaller delay time. This embodiment includes: S112, determining that the priority of the GNSS measurement is not higher than the priority of the RRM measurement, which will not be repeated.

[0129] In an embodiment of the present application, the priority of GNSS measurement and RRM measurement is determined based on the first delay value of the third time interval compared to the second time interval and the second delay value of the fourth time interval compared to the first time, so as to reduce the delay time.

[0130] In one embodiment, if Fig.12 As shown, S101 (determining measurement priority) may include:

[0131] S120: Receive measurement priority indication information from a network device.

[0132] Among them, the network device is configured with measurement priority indication information according to the communication scenario requirements or user settings. Exemplarily, the measurement priority indication information may indicate that the measurement priority of GNSS measurement is higher, or it may also indicate that the measurement priority of RRM measurement is higher. The information composition of the measurement priority indication information can be flexibly set without restriction. For example, when the measurement priority indication information is 1, it indicates that the measurement priority of GNSS measurement is higher, and when the measurement priority indication information is 0, it indicates that the measurement priority of RRM measurement is higher. In another example, when the measurement priority indication information is 10, it indicates that the measurement priority of GNSS measurement is higher, and when the measurement priority indication information is 01, it indicates that the measurement priority of RRM measurement is higher.

[0133] In another example, the measurement priority indication information may also indicate the measurement priority of GNSS measurement and the measurement priority of RRM measurement. For example, indicating that the measurement priority of GNSS measurement is 1 and the measurement priority of RRM measurement is 2, and the priority of 1 is higher than the priority of 2.

[0134] S121: Determine the measurement priority of the GNSS measurement relative to the RRM measurement according to the measurement priority indication information.

[0135] In the embodiment of the present application, the measurement priority of the GNSS measurement and the measurement priority of the RRM measurement are indicated by the network device, so that the measurement with a higher priority can be performed first.

[0136] In one embodiment, if Fig.13 As shown, the method may also include:

[0137] S130: Receive RRM configuration information from the network device at a fifth time interval.

[0138] The fifth time interval is the time interval between the start time of the third time interval and the end time of the GNSS measurement. It can be used to receive RRM configuration information from the network device.

[0139] Optionally, if the fifth time interval is too short, the reception of the RRM configuration information may not be completed. The first time threshold is set to determine whether to use the fifth time interval to receive the RRM configuration information. Specifically, if the fifth time interval is greater than the first time threshold, it means that the reception of the RRM configuration information can be completed within the fifth time interval. At this time, the RRM configuration information is received to ensure that the RRM configuration information is the latest RRM configuration information. The first time threshold can be flexibly set according to the time required to receive the RRM configuration information.

[0140] In this embodiment, S220 (performing RRM measurement at a third time interval) may include:

[0141] S131: Perform RRM measurement at a third time interval according to the RRM configuration information.

[0142] Wherein, what is received in S130 is the latest RRM configuration information, and RRM measurement is performed at a third time interval based on the RRM configuration information, thereby improving the accuracy of the RRM measurement.

[0143] In the embodiment of the present application, the fifth time interval is used to receive the RRM configuration information, which improves the time utilization rate. In addition, the RRM measurement is performed according to the received RRM configuration information, and the received RRM configuration information has better timeliness, which improves the accuracy of the RRM measurement.

[0144] In one embodiment, the fifth time interval is not greater than the first time threshold, and the terminal may use the RRM configuration information with slightly poor timeliness previously sent by the network device to perform RRM measurement.

[0145] In one embodiment, if Fig.14 As shown, the method may also include:

[0146] S140: Send measurement result information of the GNSS measurement to the network device at a fifth time interval.

[0147] The terminal may send the measurement result information of the GNSS measurement at a fifth time interval.

[0148] Optionally, a first time threshold may be set to decide whether to execute S140. Specifically, if the fifth time interval is greater than the first time threshold, it means that the sending of the measurement result information of the GNSS measurement can be completed within the fifth time interval, and the measurement result information of the GNSS measurement is sent at the fifth time interval. The first time threshold may be flexibly set according to the time required for sending the measurement result information of the GNSS measurement.

[0149] In the embodiment of the present application, the fifth time interval is used to send the measurement result information of the GNSS measurement to the network device, which improves the time utilization rate and enables the network device to obtain the measurement result information of the GNSS measurement in a timely manner.

[0150] In an embodiment, the fifth time interval is not greater than the first time threshold. In this case, the terminal may send the measurement result information of the GNSS measurement to the network device after the RRM measurement is completed, so as to ensure that the RRM measurement can be successful.

[0151] In one embodiment, the method may further include:

[0152] At least one measurement result among the plurality of first measurement results is discarded.

[0153] Among them, the terminal obtains multiple first measurement results of multiple time intervals through RRM measurement before the first time interval. Since RRM measurement is periodic, multiple first measurement results of multiple time intervals may have been measured before the first time interval. If the RRM measurement is delayed, the RRM measurement is performed at the third time interval. Since the RRM measurement has certain timeliness requirements, some of the multiple first measurement results measured before the first time interval are invalid. At this time, the invalid first measurement results among the multiple first measurement results can be discarded, and the third time interval can be used for re-measurement.

[0154] Exemplarily, regarding how to determine whether the first measurement result is invalid, in RRM measurement, multiple measurement objects are usually measured. Before the first time interval, if all measurements of the measurement object have been completed, the first measurement result corresponding to the measurement object is deemed valid. Before the first time interval, if only part of the measurement of the measurement object has been completed and the continuity of the measurement is destroyed, the first measurement result corresponding to the measurement object is deemed invalid.

[0155] The above-mentioned judgment mechanism of whether the first measurement result is invalid is only an exemplary description, and other judgment mechanisms can be flexibly set in specific implementation without limitation.

[0156] In the embodiment of the present application, invalid measurement results among the multiple first measurement results measured before the first time interval are discarded to ensure the accuracy of the RRM measurement.

[0157] In one embodiment, if Fig.15 As shown, in the case where the GNSS measurement is completed at the first time interval, S220 (performing RRM measurement at the third time interval) may include:

[0158] S150, starting RRM measurement at a first moment.

[0159] Among them, the first moment is the starting moment of the third time interval. Referring to the introduction of the third time interval in S220, the first moment is determined according to the completion moment of the GNSS measurement; the first moment can be set to the completion moment of the GNSS measurement, or the first moment can be set to the moment when the completion moment of the GNSS measurement is delayed by the second time threshold.

[0160] The completion time of the GNSS measurement may be earlier than the end time of the first time interval in the first time interval. Starting the RRM measurement at the completion time of the GNSS measurement (that is, the first time is set as the completion time of the GNSS measurement) can complete the RRM measurement in advance.

[0161] The RRM measurement is started at a time when the completion time of the GNSS measurement is delayed by a second time threshold. Within the delayed second time threshold, the reference Fig.13 The embodiments shown and Fig.14 In the introduction of the illustrated embodiment, within the time interval between the first moment and the moment when the GNSS measurement is completed (i.e., the fifth time interval), the terminal may send measurement result information of the GNSS measurement to the network device (and / or receive RRM configuration information from the network device). Optionally, if the network device does not receive the measurement result information of the GNSS measurement within the fifth time interval, the network device determines that the terminal GNSS measurement fails, and the terminal enters the IDLE idle state.

[0162] In the embodiment of the present application, when the GNSS measurement is completed at the first time interval, the RRM measurement is started at the first moment, thereby ensuring that the RRM measurement is performed in a timely manner.

[0163] In one embodiment, if Fig.16 As shown, in the case where the RRM measurement is completed at the second time interval, S820 (performing GNSS measurement at the fourth time interval) may include:

[0164] S160, starting GNSS measurement at the second moment.

[0165] The second moment is the start moment of the fourth time interval, and the second moment is determined according to the completion moment of the RRM measurement. The second moment is the completion moment of the RRM measurement, or the second moment is the moment when the completion moment of the RRM measurement is delayed by the third time threshold.

[0166] The completion time of the RRM measurement may be earlier than the end time of the second time interval in the second time interval. Starting GNSS measurement at the completion time of the RRM measurement (that is, the second time is set as the completion time of the RRM measurement) can complete the RRM measurement in advance.

[0167] The GNSS measurement is started again after the completion time of the RRM measurement is delayed by a third time threshold, and the measurement result of the RRM measurement can be sent to the network device within the delayed time interval.

[0168] In the embodiment of the present application, when the RRM measurement is completed at the second time interval, the GNSS measurement is started at the second moment, thereby ensuring that the GNSS measurement is carried out in a timely manner.

[0169] In an embodiment of the present application, when a first time interval for GNSS measurement and a second time interval for RRM measurement configured by the terminal at least partially overlap, the first time interval is used for GNSS measurement, and a third time interval that does not overlap with the first time interval is used for RRM measurement (or, the second time interval is used for RRM measurement, and a fourth time interval that does not overlap with the second time interval is used for GNSS measurement), thereby avoiding conflicts between GNSS measurement and RRM measurement and improving the success rate of GNSS measurement and RRM measurement.

[0170] In one embodiment, if Fig.17 As shown, the method may also include:

[0171] S170, performing RRM measurement at a sixth time interval.

[0172] The sixth time interval is the time interval between the start time of the first time interval and the start time of the second time interval. Fig.18 As shown, it is a communication scenario in which the first time interval is used for GNSS measurement, and the start time of the first time interval is later than the start time of the second time interval. In other words, the sixth time interval is a part of the second time interval that does not overlap with the first time interval. This part of the sixth time interval is used for RRM measurement. If the terminal has a strong measurement capability, it is possible to complete the RRM measurement within the sixth time interval, thereby improving the efficiency of the RRM measurement. For the case where the RRM measurement cannot be completed within the sixth time interval, see the following description of S171.

[0173] In this embodiment, S220 (performing RRM measurement at a third time interval) may include:

[0174] S171: When the RRM measurement performed at the sixth time interval fails, perform the RRM measurement at the third time interval.

[0175] If the RRM measurement cannot be completed within the sixth time interval, the RRM measurement may be continued at the third time interval to ensure that the RRM measurement can be completed.

[0176] In the embodiment of the present application, the sixth time interval is used to perform RRM measurement, and when the RRM measurement cannot be completed within the sixth time interval, the third time interval is used to continue to perform RRM measurement, which can ensure that the RRM measurement can be completed.

[0177] In one embodiment, if Fig.19 As shown, the method may also include:

[0178] S190, performing GNSS measurement at a sixth time interval.

[0179] The sixth time interval is the time interval between the start time of the first time interval and the start time of the second time interval. Fig. 20 As shown, the communication scenario of this embodiment is: the second time interval is used for RRM measurement, and the start time of the first time interval is earlier than the start time of the second time interval. In other words, the sixth time interval is a part of the first time interval that does not overlap with the second time interval. This part of the sixth time interval is used for GNSS measurement. If the terminal has a strong measurement capability, it is possible to complete the measurement within the sixth time interval, thereby improving the efficiency of GNSS measurement. For the case where the GNSS measurement cannot be completed within the sixth time interval, see the following description of S191.

[0180] In this embodiment, S820 (performing GNSS measurement at a fourth time interval) may include:

[0181] S191: When the GNSS measurement performed at the sixth time interval fails, perform the GNSS measurement at the fourth time interval.

[0182] If the GNSS measurement cannot be completed within the sixth time interval, the GNSS measurement can be continued at the third time interval to ensure that the GNSS measurement can be completed.

[0183] In the embodiment of the present application, the GNSS measurement is performed at the sixth time interval, and when the GNSS measurement cannot be completed within the sixth time interval, the GNSS measurement is continued at the third time interval, which can ensure that the GNSS measurement can be completed.

[0184] The above embodiment introduces a measurement implementation method when there is a conflict between the time intervals of GNSS measurement and RRM measurement. For communication scenarios where there is no conflict between the time intervals of GNSS measurement and RRM measurement, the embodiment of the present application also provides a communication method. Fig.21 As shown, the method may include:

[0185] S210: The terminal performs GNSS measurement at a first time interval.

[0186] The terminal is configured with a first time interval for GNSS measurement and a second time interval for RRM measurement, such as Fig. 22 As shown, the first time interval and the second time interval are separated by a seventh time interval, that is, the GNSS measurement and the RRM measurement will not conflict.

[0187] S211: When the terminal fails to complete the GNSS measurement in the first time interval, the terminal continues to perform the GNSS measurement in a seventh time interval.

[0188] Among them, due to the measurement capability of the terminal, the terminal may not be able to complete the GNSS measurement within the configured first time interval. At this time, the GNSS measurement can be continued within the seventh time interval between the first time interval and the second time interval to further ensure the success rate of the GNSS measurement.

[0189] S212: When the terminal completes the GNSS measurement within the seventh time interval, the terminal performs the RRM measurement at the second time interval.

[0190] Among them, if the GNSS measurement is completed within the seventh time interval, the RRM measurement is performed at the second time interval to ensure that both the GNSS measurement and the RRM measurement can be completed. If the terminal does not complete the GNSS measurement within the seventh time interval, the terminal can enter the IDLE state. At this time, if the network device does not receive the measurement result information of the GNSS measurement within the seventh time interval, the network device determines that the terminal GNSS measurement has failed, and the terminal enters the IDLE idle state.

[0191] In one embodiment, the second time interval may be delayed (equivalent to the third time interval in step S220) until the GNSS measurement is completed. After the GNSS measurement is completed, the RRM measurement is performed using the delayed second time interval. The specific description thereof may refer to the description of S220 and will not be repeated here.

[0192] In the embodiment of the present application, for the scenario where the time intervals of GNSS measurement and RRM measurement do not overlap, the GNSS measurement is continued using the seventh time interval between the first time interval and the second time interval, further ensuring the success rate of the GNSS measurement.

[0193] In one embodiment, if Fig.23 As shown, the method may also include:

[0194] S231: When the terminal completes GNSS measurement at a first time interval, the terminal starts RRM measurement at a first moment.

[0195] Wherein, referring to the description of S150, this embodiment is similar to the communication scenario of S150. In this embodiment, the first moment is the start time of the second time interval after the advance. The first moment is determined according to the completion moment of the GNSS measurement; the first moment can be set to the completion moment of the GNSS measurement, or the first moment can be set to the moment when the completion moment of the GNSS measurement is delayed by the second time threshold.

[0196] The completion time of the GNSS measurement may be earlier than the end time of the first time interval in the first time interval. Starting the RRM measurement at the completion time of the GNSS measurement (that is, the first time is set as the completion time of the GNSS measurement) can complete the RRM measurement in advance.

[0197] The RRM measurement is started at a moment when the completion time of the GNSS measurement is delayed by a second time threshold. Within the delayed second time threshold, within the time interval between the first moment and the completion time of the GNSS measurement (referred to as the fifth time interval), the terminal can send the measurement result information of the GNSS measurement to the network device (and / or receive the RRM configuration information from the network device). If the network device does not receive the measurement result information of the GNSS measurement within the fifth time interval, the network device determines that the terminal GNSS measurement fails, and the terminal enters the IDLE idle state.

[0198] In one embodiment, if Fig.24 As shown, the method may also include:

[0199] S2410, when completing the RRM measurement, the terminal sends the measurement result information of the GNSS measurement to the network device.

[0200] The terminal may send measurement result information of the GNSS measurement when completing the RRM measurement.

[0201] Optionally, considering that if the terminal sends the measurement result information of the GNSS measurement when the RRM measurement is completed, the delay in sending the measurement result information of the measurement is long. Therefore, a fourth time threshold can be set to decide whether to execute S2410. Specifically, the fourth time threshold is a time threshold determined according to the time required to send the measurement result information of the GNSS measurement. If the seventh time interval is less than the fourth time threshold, it indicates that the sending of the measurement result information of the GNSS measurement cannot be completed within the seventh time interval. At this time, the measurement result information of the GNSS measurement is not sent within the seventh time interval.
