[0031] The following will describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of an embodiment of the present application.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the communication system 100 may include a terminal device 110 and a network device 120. The network device 120 may communicate with the terminal device 110 via an air interface. The terminal device 110 and the network device 120 support multi-service transmission.

[0034] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are only exemplified by the communication system 100, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. That is to say, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various communication systems, such as: Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD), Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), Internet of Things (IoT) system, Narrow Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) system, enhanced Machine Type Communications (eMTC) system, 5G communication system (also called New Radio (NR) communication system), or future communication systems, etc.

[0035] exist Figure 1 In the communication system 100 shown, the network device 120 may be an access network device that communicates with the terminal device 110. The access network device may provide communication coverage for a specific geographical area, and may communicate with the terminal device 110 (eg, UE) located in the coverage area.

[0036] The network device 120 may be an evolved Node B (eNB or eNodeB) in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, or a Next Generation Radio Access Network (NG RAN) device, or a base station (gNB) in an NR system, or a wireless controller in a Cloud Radio Access Network (CRAN), or the network device 120 may be a relay station, an access point, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a hub, a switch, a bridge, a router, or a network device in a future evolved Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), etc.

[0037] The terminal device 110 may be any terminal device, including but not limited to a terminal device connected to the network device 120 or other terminal devices by wire or wireless connection.

[0038] For example, the terminal device 110 may refer to an access terminal, a user equipment (UE), a user unit, a user station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a user terminal, a terminal, a wireless communication device, a user agent, or a user device.

[0039] The terminal device 110 may be used for device-to-device (D2D) communication.

[0040] The wireless communication system 100 may also include a core network device 130 that communicates with the network device 120. The core network device 130 may be a 5G core network (5G Core, 5GC) device, such as an access and mobility management function (Access and Mobility Management Function, AMF), and another example, an authentication server function (Authentication Server Function, AUSF), and another example, a user plane function (User Plane Function, UPF), and another example, a session management function (Session Management Function, SMF). Optionally, the core network device 130 may also be an evolved packet core (Evolved Packet Core, EPC) device of the LTE network, such as a session management function + core network data gateway (Session Management Function + Core Packet Gateway, SMF + PGW-C) device. It should be understood that SMF + PGW-C can simultaneously implement the functions that SMF and PGW-C can implement. In the process of network evolution, the above-mentioned core network device may also be called other names, or a new network entity may be formed by dividing the functions of the core network, which is not limited to the embodiments of the present application.

[0041] The functional units in the communication system 100 may also establish connections through next generation (NG) network interfaces to achieve communication.

Optionally, the wireless communication system 100 may include multiple network devices and each network device may include another number of terminal devices within its coverage area, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0044] It should be noted that Figure 1 It is only to illustrate the system to which the present application is applicable in the form of an example. Of course, the method shown in the embodiment of the present application can also be applied to other systems. In addition, the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably in this article. The term "and / or" in this article is only a description of the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship. It should also be understood that the "indication" mentioned in the embodiment of the present application can be a direct indication, an indirect indication, or an indication of an association relationship. For example, A indicates B, which can mean that A directly indicates B, for example, B can be obtained through A; it can also mean that A indirectly indicates B, for example, A indicates C, B can be obtained through C; it can also mean that there is an association relationship between A and B. It should also be understood that the "correspondence" mentioned in the embodiment of the present application can mean that there is a direct or indirect correspondence relationship between the two, or it can mean that there is an association relationship between the two, or it can mean that there is an indication and being indicated, configuration and being configured, etc. It should also be understood that the "predefined" or "predefined rules" mentioned in the embodiments of the present application can be implemented by pre-saving corresponding codes, tables or other methods that can be used to indicate relevant information in devices (for example, including terminal devices and network devices), and the present application does not limit its specific implementation method. For example, predefined may refer to the definition in the protocol. It should also be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, the "protocol" may refer to a standard protocol in the field of communications, such as LTE protocols, NR protocols, and related protocols used in future communication systems, and the present application does not limit this.

[0045] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the relevant technologies of the embodiments of the present application are described below. The following related technologies can be arbitrarily combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, and they all belong to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0046] 3GPP R17 introduced RedCap UE for NR systems. Currently, there are three main scenarios for RedCap UE.

[0047] 1. Industrial Wireless Sensors. Compared with URLLC, industrial wireless sensors have relatively low latency and reliability requirements, and have lower requirements for cost and power consumption. The main requirements and features of industrial wireless sensors include: communication reliability of 99.99%, end-to-end latency <100ms, reference data rate less than 2Mbps and mainly uplink services, stationary equipment, and battery life of up to several years. In addition, for safety-related wireless sensors, the latency requirements are lower, for example, the latency requirements are 5 to 10ms.

[0048] 2. Video surveillance. Video surveillance is mainly used in smart cities, industrial factories, etc. Data collection and processing in smart cities facilitate more effective monitoring and control of urban resources and provide more effective services to urban residents. Video surveillance is mainly uplink business, and other major requirements include: the reference rate of ordinary resolution video is 2 to 4Mbps, the delay is less than 500ms, and the communication reliability is 99% to 99.9%. The rate requirement for high-definition video is 7.5 to 25Mbps.

[0049] 3. Wearables: including smart watches, smart bracelets, electronic health devices and some medical monitoring devices. One common feature of these devices is that they are small in size. The key indicators of wearable devices include: downlink and uplink reference rates of 5-50Mbps and 2-5Mbps respectively; downlink and uplink peak rates of 150Mbps and 50Mbps respectively, and the battery is required to work for several days or even 1-2 weeks.

[0050] In order to enable RedCap UE and ordinary terminals (i.e. non-RedCap UE) to share the same synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal and PBCH block, SSB), control resource set, and system information block (System Information Blocks, SIB), the maximum bandwidth of RedCap UE in the low frequency band (i.e. FR1 band) can be reduced from 100MHz to 20MHz. At the same time, the maximum bandwidth of RedCap UE in the high frequency band (i.e. FR2 band) can be reduced to 100MHz. The maximum bandwidth here includes the Radio Frequency (RF) bandwidth and the baseband bandwidth.

[0051] The following introduces the cell access control mechanism.

[0052] In the NR system, the network equipment can carry cell access prohibition information (cellBarred) in the Master Information Block (MIB). CellBarred can be used to indicate whether all terminals are prohibited from accessing the current cell. If cellBarred indicates prohibition (i.e., barred), the terminal device needs to reselect the cell; if cellBarred indicates not prohibition (i.e., not barred), the terminal device can access the current cell. MIB can also carry intraFreqReselection indication information. IntraFreqReselection can indicate whether all UEs are allowed to perform cell reselection among neighboring cells of the same frequency.

[0053] In addition, for RedCap UE, R17 introduces cell access prohibition information (cellBarredRedCap1Rx) for RedCap UE supporting 1 receive link (RX), cell access prohibition information (cellBarredRedCap2Rx) for RedCap UE supporting 2 RXs, and cell access prohibition information (halfDuplexRedCapAllowed) for RedCap UE supporting half-duplex.

[0054] 3GPP R18 introduces a lower complexity and lower cost RedCapUE type for RedCap UE supporting FR1 frequency band. Specifically, the bandwidth supported by the newly introduced lower complexity and lower cost RedCap UE may be smaller than the maximum bandwidth supported by the current RedCap UE, for example, the maximum bandwidth supported by the newly introduced RedCap UE type may be 5MHz.

[0055] It is understandable that after the introduction of the lower complexity and lower cost RedCap UE type, there is currently no clear method for how the network can perform access control on the new RedCap UE and achieve more refined terminal access control.

[0056] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments. The above related technologies can be combined arbitrarily with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, and they all belong to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application. The embodiments of the present application include at least part of the following contents.

[0057] refer to Figure 2 As shown, the communication processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps:

[0058] Step 210: The network device sends first information, and the terminal device receives the first information, where the first information is related to cell access of a low-capability terminal; wherein the low-capability terminal refers to a terminal device that supports a maximum bandwidth of less than 20 MHz.

[0059] The low-capability terminal mentioned in the embodiments of the present application may be a RedCap UE that is less complex and / or less costly than the RedCap UE introduced in R17.

[0060] In R17, the maximum bandwidth supported by RedCap UE in FR1 band is 20 MHz, and the maximum bandwidth supported by RedCap UE in FR2 band is 100 MHz. The low-capability terminal mentioned in the embodiment of the present application may be a RedCap UE supporting a maximum bandwidth less than 20 MHz.

[0061] For example, the maximum bandwidth supported by the low-capability terminal is 5 MHz, or the maximum baseband bandwidth supported by the low-capability terminal is 5 MHz, and the RF bandwidth remains unchanged, or the maximum bandwidth supported by the low-capability terminal only in the physical shared channel (which may include physical uplink / downlink shared channels, i.e., PUSCH / PDSCH) is 5 MHz.

[0062] It should be noted that the maximum bandwidth supported by the above low-capability terminal may be for the FR1 frequency band. In the embodiment of the present application, the low-capability terminal may also be referred to as an enhanced low-capability terminal (Enhanced RedCap UE, eRedCap UE).

[0063] Optionally, the network device may broadcast the first information within its communication coverage area. That is, the first information may be broadcast information.

[0064] Optionally, the first information may be a system information block (System Information Block, SIB), for example, the first information may be at least one of SIB1-SIB14, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific SIB type.

[0065] It is understandable that the network device can configure the first information related to cell access that is unique to the low-capability terminal for the eRedCap UE, and broadcast the first information to the terminal device. Accordingly, after receiving the first information, the terminal device can access the cell according to the first information.

[0066] It can be seen that by configuring the cell access-related information specific to the eRedCap UE, the eRedCap UE can be individually controlled to access the cell, thereby achieving more flexible and refined cell access. For example, when network congestion occurs, the network may still expect some terminals to be able to access. At this time, the network can broadcast the first information specific to the eRedCap UE to allow only the eRedCap UE with a maximum bandwidth less than 20MHz to access the network, thereby achieving more refined access control.

[0067] Optionally, the first information may indicate at least one of the following:

[0068] Whether the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell;

[0069] Whether the eRedCap UE is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection;

[0070] At least one second information, the at least one second information corresponds to at least one frequency point, and each second information is used to indicate whether the eRedCap UE is allowed to access the frequency point corresponding to the current second information.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, the first information may include a cell access indication parameter (cellBarred) configured separately for the eRedCap UE, such as the parameter "cellBarredRedCapEnhanced". This parameter indicates whether the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell, that is, this parameter indicates whether the first cell supports the eRedCap UE. Here, the first cell may be the cell corresponding to the network device that sends the system information, and may be a serving cell or a target cell to be accessed.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, the first information may include an intra frequency reselection indication (IFRI) parameter configured specifically for the eRedCap UE. For example, the first information may include a parameter “intraFreqReselectionRedCapEnhanced”. The first information indicates through the parameter whether the eRedCap UE is allowed to perform intra frequency cell reselection.

[0073] It should be noted that if the network device does not configure the target parameter in the first information, the eRedCap UE may consider that the first cell is prohibited from access. The target parameter may be a parameter for indicating whether the eRedCap UE is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection, such as the parameter "intraFreqReselectionRedCapEnhanced".

[0074] In an embodiment of the present application, the first information may include at least one second information. The at least one second information may also be understood as information configured separately for the eRedCap UE. In simple terms, the second information may be information on whether the neighboring cell frequency (i.e., hetero-frequency frequency) supports the eRedCap UE. It should be understood that the neighboring cell frequency may include one or more, and each frequency may be configured with a second information. Each second information may indicate whether the eRedCap UE is allowed to access the frequency corresponding to the current second information.

[0075] Optionally, the second information may be represented by “redCapAccessAllowedEnhanced”.

[0076] Exemplarily, the network device may configure a list of inter-frequency frequency points. Meanwhile, the network device may configure a parameter “redCapAccessAllowedEnhanced” for each frequency point in the list, and use the parameter to indicate whether the current frequency point supports eRedCap UE.

[0077] It should be noted that the first information can indicate any one of the above three items separately.

[0078] Optionally, the parameters in the first information used to indicate whether the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell, the parameters used to indicate whether the eRedCap UE is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection, and the at least one second information mentioned above can be carried through the same SIB or through different SIBs. Exemplarily, the parameters used to indicate whether the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell, and the parameters used to indicate whether the eRedCap UE is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection can be carried through SIB1 or other SIBs, and at least one second information can be carried through SIB4 or other SIBs, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0079] It can be seen that by configuring the eRedCap UE's unique access prohibition information, same-frequency reselection indication information and information related to inter-frequency access, different access processes of the eRedCap UE can be controlled separately, thus further improving the flexibility of cell access control.

[0080] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first information may include multiple first sub-information, and the first sub-information is related to the number of receive links (RX) supported by the terminal.

[0081] Each first sub-information is used to indicate whether a terminal supporting N receiving links in the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell; N is greater than or equal to 1, and different first sub-information corresponds to different numbers N of receiving links.

[0082] It is understandable that the eRedCap UE can be further differentiated according to the number of receiving links supported by the terminal. Different first sub-information is used to respectively indicate whether UEs with different numbers of receiving links in the eRedCap UE are prohibited from accessing the first cell, that is, different first sub-information is used to indicate whether the first cell supports eRedCap UEs with different numbers of RXs.

[0083] Optionally, the first information can distinguish between 1 RX and 2 RXs. Specifically, "cellBarredRedCap1RxEnhanced" can be used to indicate whether an eRedCap UE supporting 1 RX is prohibited from accessing the first cell. In addition, "cellBarredRedCap2RxEnhanced" can be used to indicate whether an eRedCap UE supporting 2 RXs is prohibited from accessing the first cell. It should be noted that the first information can also distinguish between eRedCap UEs with more receiving links, which are not enumerated one by one in the embodiments of the present application.

[0084] Exemplarily, if "cellBarredRedCap1RxEnhanced" indicates "barred", it can be considered that the current first cell does not support all eRedCap UEs with 1 RX, and all eRedCap UEs with 1 RX are prohibited from accessing. If "cellBarredRedCap1RxEnhanced" indicates "not barred", it can be considered that the current first cell supports all eRedCap UEs with 1 RX, that is, all eRedCap UEs with 1 RX are allowed to access.

[0085] Optionally, in some other embodiments, the first information may include second sub-information and / or third sub-information, and the second sub-information and / or third sub-information may be related to the duplex capability supported by the terminal device.

[0086] The second sub-information may be used to indicate whether a terminal supporting half-duplex in the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell, and the third sub-information is used to indicate whether a terminal supporting full-duplex in the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell.

[0087] That is to say, the eRedCap UE can be further differentiated according to the duplex capability supported by the terminal device. Among them, the eRedCap UE supporting half-duplex can indicate whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell through the second sub-information, and the eRedCap UE supporting full-duplex can indicate whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell through the third sub-information.

[0088] It can be seen that in the communication processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, cell access prohibition information can be separately configured for eRedCap UEs with different capabilities, so as to facilitate cell access control for some terminals in the eRedCap UEs. In this way, the granularity of cell access control is further reduced and the flexibility of cell access control is improved.

[0089] The following describes in detail the specific method by which the eRedCap UE determines whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell.

[0090] In an embodiment of the present application, the eRedCap UE may determine whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell based on the first information. Optionally, after receiving the first information, the eRedCap UE may perform at least one of the following:

[0091] Determining, according to the first information, whether access to the first cell is prohibited;

[0092] Determine whether access to the first cell is prohibited according to the number of receiving links supported by the eRedCap UE and the plurality of first sub-information;

[0093] Determine whether access to the first cell is prohibited according to the second sub-information and / or the third sub-information and the duplex capability supported by the eRedCap UE.

[0094] In a possible implementation manner, when the first information is used as separate indication information, the eRedCap UE may directly determine whether the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell according to the indication content of the first information.

[0095] In this implementation, reference Figure 3A As shown in the flowchart, the eRedCap UE can determine whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell in the following manner:

[0096] The first step is to read the first information.

[0097] Step 2: Determine whether the user is prohibited from accessing the first cell according to the first information

[0098] The eRedCap UE determines whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell according to the first information, which can be achieved in the following ways:

[0099] Determining whether the first information indicates that the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell;

[0100] If the first information indicates that the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell, the eRedCap UE considers that access to the current first cell is prohibited; if the first information indicates that the eRedCap UE is not prohibited from accessing the first cell, the eRedCap UE considers that access to the current first cell is allowed.

[0101] It should be understood that the first information may indicate "barred" or "notbarred". After receiving the SIB, the eRedCap UE may read the first information "cellBarredRedCapEnhanced" in the SIB. When the first information indicates "barred", it may be considered that the first cell prohibits all eRedCap UEs from accessing, and when the first information indicates "notbarred", it may be considered that the first cell allows all eRedCap UEs to access.

[0102] In another possible implementation manner, when the first information includes multiple first sub-information, the eRedCapUE may determine whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell according to the number of receiving links supported by it and the multiple first sub-information.

[0103] In this implementation, reference Figure 3B As shown in the flowchart, the eRedCap UE can determine whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell according to the following method

[0104] The first step is to read a plurality of first sub-information;

[0105] The second step is to determine whether access to the first cell is prohibited according to the number of supported receiving links and the plurality of first sub-information.

[0106] The eRedCap UE determines whether to be prohibited from accessing the first cell according to the number of supported receiving links and the plurality of first sub-information, which can be implemented in the following manner:

[0107] Determine the target first sub-information, where the number N of receiving links corresponding to the target first sub-information is the same as the number of receiving links supported by the eRedCap UE;

[0108] If the target first sub-information indicates that the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell, determining to prohibit access to the first cell;

[0109] If the target first sub-information indicates that the eRedCap UE is not prohibited from accessing the first cell, it is determined that the access to the first cell is allowed.

[0110] It is understandable that the eRedCap UE can first obtain the first sub-information that matches the number of RXs it supports from multiple first sub-information to obtain the target first sub-information. Then, the eRedCap UE can determine whether it is allowed to access the first cell based on the specific indication content of the target first sub-information, that is, determine whether the first cell supports the eRedCapUE with the number of RXs. Specifically, if the target first sub-information indicates "barred", the eRedCap UE can consider that the first cell is prohibited from access; if the target first sub-information indicates "not barred", the eRedCap UE can consider that the first cell is allowed to access.

[0111] Exemplarily, in a scenario where the network device uses "cellBarredRedCap1RxEnhanced" to indicate whether to prohibit the eRedCap UE supporting 1 RX from accessing the first cell, and uses "cellBarredRedCap2RxEnhanced" to indicate whether to prohibit the eRedCap UE supporting 2 RXs from accessing the first cell, after receiving SIB1, the eRedCap UE can read "cellBarredRedCap1RxEnhanced" or "cellBarredRedCap2RxEnhanced" in SIB1 according to the number of RXs it supports.

[0112] If the eRedCap UE supports 1 RX, the eRedCap UE can read the "cellBarredRedCap1RxEnhanced" in SIB1. When "cellBarredRedCap1RxEnhanced" indicates "barrred", the eRedCap UE can consider that the current first cell prohibits access. When "cellBarredRedCap1RxEnhanced" indicates "not barrred", the eRedCap UE can consider that the current first cell allows access. Correspondingly, if the eRedCap UE supports 2 RXs, the eRedCap UE can read the "cellBarredRedCap2RxEnhanced" in SIB1. When "cellBarredRedCap2RxEnhanced" indicates "barrred", the eRedCap UE can consider that the current first cell prohibits access. When "cellBarredRedCap2RxEnhanced" indicates "not barrred", the eRedCap UE can consider that the current first cell allows access.

[0113] In another possible implementation, when the first information includes the second sub-information and / or the third sub-information, the eRedCap UE may determine whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell based on the second sub-information and / or the third sub-information and the duplex capability supported by the eRedCap UE.

[0114] In this implementation, reference Figure 3C As shown in the flowchart, the eRedCap UE can determine whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell in the following manner:

[0115] The first step is to read the second sub-information and / or the third sub-information.

[0116] The second step is to determine whether the access to the first cell is prohibited according to the second sub-information and / or the third sub-information and the duplex capability supported by the eRedCap UE.

[0117] The eRedCap UE determines whether to be prohibited from accessing the first cell according to the second sub-information and / or the third sub-information and the duplex capability supported by the eRedCap UE, which can be implemented in the following manner:

[0118] Determine the second sub-information or the third sub-information matching the duplex capability supported by the eRedCap UE;

[0119] If the matched second sub-information or the third sub-information indicates that the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell, it is determined that the access to the first cell is prohibited;

[0120] If the matched second sub-information or the third sub-information indicates that the eRedCap UE is not prohibited from accessing the first cell, it is determined that the access to the first cell is allowed.

[0121] That is to say, the eRedCap UE may first obtain the sub-information matching the duplex capability supported by it from the second sub-information and / or the third sub-information. Then, the eRedCap UE may determine whether it is allowed to access the first cell according to the specific indication content of the matching sub-information (the second sub-information or the third sub-information). Specifically, if the matching sub-information indicates "barred", the eRedCap UE may consider that the first cell is prohibited from access, and if the matching sub-information indicates "not barred", the eRedCap UE may consider that the first cell is allowed to access.

[0122] Exemplarily, when the eRedCap UE is a half-duplex terminal, the eRedCap UE may select the second sub-information for cell access control. If the second sub-information indicates "barred", the eRedCap UE may consider that the first cell prohibits access of eRedCap UEs with half-duplex capabilities, that is, the first cell does not support eRedCap UEs with half-duplex capabilities. If the second sub-information indicates "not barred", the eRedCap UE may consider that the first cell allows access of eRedCap UEs with half-duplex capabilities, that is, the first cell supports eRedCap UEs with half-duplex capabilities. When the eRedCap UE is a full-duplex terminal, the eRedCap UE may select the third sub-information for cell access control. If the third sub-information indicates "barred", the eRedCap UE may consider that the first cell prohibits access of eRedCap UEs with full-duplex capabilities, that is, the first cell does not support eRedCap UEs with full-duplex capabilities. If the third sub-information indicates "not barred", the eRedCap UE may consider that the first cell allows access by eRedCap UEs with full-duplex capability, that is, the first cell supports eRedCap UEs with full-duplex capability.

[0123] In summary, in the communication processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the first information configured for the eRedCap UE and the sub-information included in the first information can work independently. That is, the eRedCap UE can directly determine whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell based on the first information or the sub-information included in the first information, and the indication method is simple and flexible.

[0124] In another embodiment of the present application, the eRedCap UE may determine whether the UE is barred from accessing the first cell in combination with the cell barred access information (ie, cellbarred) and the first information.

[0125] Optionally, the communication processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps:

[0126] The network device sends the cell access prohibition information, and the terminal device receives the cell access prohibition information.

[0127] The cell access prohibition information may be used together with the first information to indicate whether the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell;

[0128] Alternatively, the cell access prohibition information is used together with a plurality of first sub-information to indicate whether the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell;

[0129] Alternatively, the cell access prohibition information is used together with the second sub-information and / or the third sub-information to indicate whether the eRedCapUE is prohibited from accessing the first cell.

[0130] Optionally, the cell access prohibition information may be carried by a master information block (Master Information Block, MIB).

[0131] It should be understood that MIB usually carries common information of terminal devices. The cell access prohibition information carried in MIB can be understood as being for all terminal devices in the network.

[0132] In a possible implementation manner, when the first information is used as separate indication information, the cell access prohibition information may indicate together with the first information whether the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell.

[0133] In this implementation, reference Figure 4A As shown in the flowchart, the eRedCap UE can determine whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell in the following manner:

[0134] In the first step, the eRedCap UE reads the cell access prohibition information.

[0135] In the second step, the eRedCap UE determines whether the cell access barring information indicates "barred".

[0136] In the third step, if the cell access barring information indicates that the first cell is barred from access (ie, indicates "barred"), the eRedCap UE determines that the first cell is currently barred from access.

[0137] In the fourth step, if the cell barring information indicates that the eRedCap UE is not barred from accessing the first cell (ie, indicates "not barred"), the eRedCap UE obtains the first information to determine whether the eRedCap UE is barred from accessing the first cell according to the first information in the SIB.

[0138] In the fifth step, the eRedCap UE determines whether the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell according to the first information.

[0139] Optionally, the eRedCap UE determines, according to the first information, whether the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell, which may be implemented in the following manner:

[0140] If the first information indicates "barred", the eRedCap UE may determine that the current first cell is prohibited from access. If the first information indicates "notbarred", the eRedCap UE may determine that the current first cell is allowed to access.

[0141] In another possible implementation manner, when the first information includes multiple first sub-information, the cell access prohibition information and the multiple first sub-information may together indicate whether the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell.

[0142] In this implementation, reference Figure 4B As shown in the flowchart, the eRedCap UE can determine whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell in the following manner:

[0143] In the first step, the eRedCap UE reads the cell access prohibition information.

[0144] In the second step, the eRedCap UE determines whether the cell access barring information indicates "barred".

[0145] In a third step, if the cell access barring information indicates that the UE is barred from accessing the first cell (ie, indicates "barred"), the eRedCap UE determines that the UE is barred from accessing the first cell.

[0146] In the fourth step, if the cell access barring information indicates that the eRedCap UE is not barred from accessing the first cell (ie, indicates "notbarred"), the eRedCap UE obtains multiple first sub-information to determine whether the eRedCap UE is barred from accessing the first cell according to the multiple first sub-information.

[0147] In the fifth step, the eRedCap UE may determine whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell according to the number of supported receiving links and the plurality of first sub-information.

[0148] Optionally, the eRedCap UE may determine whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell according to the number of supported receiving links and the plurality of first sub-information, which may be implemented in the following manner:

[0149] Determine the target first sub-information, where the number N of receiving links corresponding to the target first sub-information is the same as the number of receiving links supported by the eRedCap UE;

[0150] If the target first sub-information indicates that the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell, it is determined that the access to the first cell is prohibited;

[0151] If the target first sub-information indicates that the eRedCap UE is not prohibited from accessing the first cell, it is determined that the access to the first cell is allowed.

[0152] In yet another possible implementation, when the first information includes the second sub-information and / or the third sub-information, the cell access prohibition information may together with the second sub-information and / or the third sub-information indicate whether the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell.

[0153] In this implementation, reference Figure 4C As shown in the flowchart, the eRedCap UE can determine whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell in the following manner:

[0154] In the first step, the eRedCap UE reads the cell access prohibition information.

[0155] In the second step, the eRedCap UE determines whether the cell access barring information indicates "barred".

[0156] In a third step, if the cell access barring information indicates that the UE is barred from accessing the first cell (ie, indicates "barred"), the eRedCap UE determines that the UE is barred from accessing the first cell.

[0157] In the fourth step, if the cell access barring information indicates that the UE is not barred from accessing the first cell (ie, indicates "not barred"), the eRedCap UE obtains the second sub-information and / or the third sub-information.

[0158] In the fifth step, the eRedCap UE may determine whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell according to the second sub-information and / or the third sub-information and the duplex capability supported by the eRedCap UE.

[0159] Optionally, determining whether access to the first cell is prohibited according to the second sub-information and / or the third sub-information and the duplex capability supported by the eRedCap UE may be implemented in the following manner:

[0160] Determine the second sub-information or the third sub-information matching the duplex capability supported by the eRedCap UE;

[0161] If the matched second sub-information or the third sub-information indicates that the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell, it is determined that the access to the first cell is prohibited;

[0162] If the matched second sub-information or the third sub-information indicates that the eRedCap UE is not prohibited from accessing the first cell, it is determined that the access to the first cell is allowed.

[0163] In summary, in the communication processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the first information and multiple sub-information configured for the eRedCap UE can be combined with the cell barred access information ("cellbarred") in the MIB to jointly indicate the cell access status of the eRedCap UE. This makes the newly introduced cell access control information compatible with the existing cell access parameters, and also improves the flexibility of network device configuration.

[0164] In another embodiment of the present application, the eRedCap UE may determine whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell by combining the cell access prohibition information, the relevant access information for the common RedCap UE, and the first information.

[0165] Optionally, the network device may send multiple third information to the terminal device, wherein each third information is used to indicate whether a terminal in the target terminal that supports M receiving links is prohibited from accessing the first cell, M is greater than or equal to 1, and different third information corresponds to different numbers of receiving links M; the target terminal refers to a terminal whose maximum supported bandwidth is less than or equal to 20 MHz.

[0166] It can be understood that the target terminal may be a common RedCap UE introduced in R17. The target terminal may include an eRedCap UE in the embodiment of the present application.

[0167] That is, the third information may be the cell access prohibition information for common RedCap UE introduced in R17 carried in SIB1.

[0168] In addition, multiple third information may be related to the number of RXs supported by the terminal. Different third information may indicate whether terminals with different numbers of RXs in the target terminal are prohibited from accessing the first cell. Exemplarily, the third information may include "cellBarredRedCap1Rx" and "cellBarredRedCap2Rx".

[0169] In the embodiment of the present application, multiple third information may be used together with the cell access prohibition information and any one of the following to indicate whether the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell:

[0170] First information, multiple first sub-information, second sub-information, and third sub-information.

[0171] In a possible implementation manner, when the first information is used as separate indication information, multiple third information may be used together with the cell access prohibition information and the first information to indicate whether the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell.

[0172] In this implementation, reference Figure 5A As shown in the flowchart, the eRedCap UE can determine whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell in the following manner:

[0173] In the first step, the eRedCap UE reads the cell access prohibition information.

[0174] In the second step, the eRedCap UE determines whether the cell access barring information indicates "barred".

[0175] In the third step, if the cell access barring information indicates that the first cell is barred from access (ie, indicates "barred"), the eRedCap UE determines that the first cell is currently barred from access.

[0176] In the fourth step, if the cell access prohibition information indicates that access to the first cell is not prohibited (i.e., it indicates "notbarred"), the eRedCap UE obtains multiple third information and determines the target third information from the multiple third information, wherein the number of receiving links M corresponding to the target third information is the same as the number of receiving links supported by the eRedCap UE.

[0177] That is, the eRedCap UE may first obtain the third information matching the number of links supported by it from multiple third information to obtain the target third information. Then, the eRedCap UE may determine whether it is allowed to access the first cell according to the specific indication content of the target third information.

[0178] In the fifth step, the eRedCap UE determines whether the target third information indicates that a terminal having M receiving links among the target terminals is prohibited from accessing the first cell.

[0179] In the sixth step, if the target third information indicates that the terminal with M receiving links in the target terminal is prohibited from accessing the first cell, the eRedCap UE determines to prohibit access to the first cell.

[0180] In the seventh step, if the target third information indicates that the terminal with M receiving links in the target terminal is not prohibited from accessing the first cell, the eRedCap UE reads the first information.

[0181] In the eighth step, the RedCap UE determines whether the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell according to the first information.

[0182] Optionally, the eRedCap UE determines, according to the first information, whether the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell, which may be implemented in the following manner:

[0183] If the first information indicates "barred", the eRedCap UE may consider that the current first cell is prohibited from access. If the first information indicates "notbarred", the eRedCap UE may consider that the current first cell is allowed to access.

[0184] Optionally, the multiple third information in the fourth step can replace the access prohibition indication information for ordinary RedCap UE, such as "cellBarredRedCap". Correspondingly, the eRedCap UE can directly determine whether "cellBarredRedCap" indicates "barred". If it indicates "barred", the eRedCap UE determines that the current first cell is prohibited from access. If it indicates "notbarred", it continues to execute the eighth step.

[0185] In another possible implementation manner, when the first information includes multiple first sub-information, the multiple third information may together with the cell access prohibition information and the multiple first sub-information indicate whether the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell.

[0186] In this implementation, reference Figure 5B As shown in the flowchart, the eRedCap UE can determine whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell in the following manner:

[0187] In the first step, the eRedCap UE reads the cell access prohibition information.

[0188] In the second step, the eRedCap UE determines whether the cell access barring information indicates "barred".

[0189] In the third step, if the cell access barring information indicates that the UE is barred from accessing the first cell (i.e., indicates "barred"), the eRedCap UE determines that the UE is barred from accessing the first cell;

[0190] In the fourth step, if the cell access barring information indicates that the access to the first cell is not barred (i.e., indicates "notbarred"), the eRedCap UE determines the target third information from the plurality of third information, wherein the number of receiving links M corresponding to the target third information is the same as the number of receiving links supported by the eRedCap UE;

[0191] That is, the eRedCap UE may first obtain the third information matching the number of links supported by it from multiple third information to obtain the target third information. Then, the eRedCap UE may determine whether it is allowed to access the first cell according to the specific indication content of the target third information.

[0192] In the fifth step, the eRedCap UE determines whether the target third information indicates that a terminal having M receiving links among the target terminals is prohibited from accessing the first cell.

[0193] Step 6: If the target third information indicates that the terminal with M receiving links in the target terminal is prohibited from accessing the first cell, the eRedCap UE determines to prohibit access to the first cell;

[0194] In the seventh step, if the target third information indicates that the terminal with M receiving links in the target terminal is not prohibited from accessing the first cell, the eRedCap UE reads multiple first sub-information.

[0195] In the eighth step, the eRedCap UE may determine whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell according to the number of supported receiving links and the plurality of first sub-information.

[0196] Optionally, the eRedCap UE may determine whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell according to the number of supported receiving links and the plurality of first sub-information, which may be implemented in the following manner:

[0197] Determine the target first sub-information, where the number N of receiving links corresponding to the target first sub-information is the same as the number of receiving links supported by the eRedCap UE;

[0198] If the target first sub-information indicates that the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell, it is determined that the access to the first cell is prohibited;

[0199] If the target first sub-information indicates that the eRedCap UE is not prohibited from accessing the first cell, it is determined that the access to the first cell is allowed.

[0200] Optionally, the multiple third information in the fourth step can replace the access prohibition indication information for ordinary RedCap UE, such as "cellBarredRedCap". Correspondingly, the eRedCap UE can directly determine whether "cellBarredRedCap" indicates "barred". If it indicates "barred", the eRedCap UE determines that the current first cell is prohibited from access. If it indicates "notbarred", it continues to execute the eighth step.

[0201] In another possible implementation, when the first information includes the second sub-information and / or the third sub-information, multiple third information may together with the cell access prohibition information, and the second sub-information and / or the third sub-information indicate whether the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell.

[0202] In this implementation, reference Figure 5C As shown in the flowchart, the eRedCap UE can determine whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell in the following manner:

[0203] In the first step, the eRedCap UE reads the cell access prohibition information.

[0204] In the second step, the eRedCap UE determines whether the cell access barring information indicates "barred".

[0205] In the third step, if the cell access barring information indicates that the UE is barred from accessing the first cell (i.e., indicates "barred"), the eRedCap UE determines that the UE is barred from accessing the first cell;

[0206] In the fourth step, if the cell access barring information indicates that the access to the first cell is not barred (i.e., indicates "notbarred"), the eRedCap UE determines the target third information from the plurality of third information, wherein the number of receiving links M corresponding to the target third information is the same as the number of receiving links supported by the eRedCap UE;

[0207] That is, the eRedCap UE may first obtain the third information matching the number of links supported by it from multiple third information to obtain the target third information. Then, the eRedCap UE may determine whether it is allowed to access the first cell according to the specific indication content of the target third information.

[0208] In the fifth step, the eRedCap UE determines whether the target third information indicates that a terminal having M receiving links among the target terminals is prohibited from accessing the first cell.

[0209] Step 6: If the target third information indicates that the terminal with M receiving links in the target terminal is prohibited from accessing the first cell, the eRedCap UE determines to prohibit access to the first cell;

[0210] In the seventh step, if the target third information indicates that the terminal with M receiving links in the target terminal is not prohibited from accessing the first cell, the eRedCap UE reads the second sub-information and / or the third sub-information.

[0211] In the eighth step, the eRedCap UE may determine whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell according to the second sub-information and / or the third sub-information and the duplex capability supported by the eRedCap UE.

[0212] Optionally, determining whether access to the first cell is prohibited according to the second sub-information and / or the third sub-information and the duplex capability supported by the eRedCap UE may be implemented in the following manner:

[0213] Determine the second sub-information or the third sub-information matching the duplex capability supported by the eRedCap UE;

[0214] If the matched second sub-information or the third sub-information indicates that the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell, it is determined that the access to the first cell is prohibited;

[0215] If the matched second sub-information or the third sub-information indicates that the eRedCap UE is not prohibited from accessing the first cell, it is determined that the access to the first cell is allowed.

[0216] Optionally, the multiple third information in the fourth step can replace the access prohibition indication information for ordinary RedCap UE, such as "cellBarredRedCap". Correspondingly, the eRedCap UE can directly determine whether "cellBarredRedCap" indicates "barred". If it indicates "barred", the eRedCap UE determines that the current first cell is prohibited from access. If it indicates "notbarred", it continues to execute the eighth step.

[0217] In summary, in the communication processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the first information and multiple sub-information configured for the eRedCap UE can be combined with the cell access prohibition information ("cellbarred") in the MIB, and the cell access prohibition information of the ordinary RedCap UE (i.e., multiple third information) to jointly indicate the cell access status of the eRedCap UE. This makes the newly introduced cell access control information compatible with the existing cell access parameters, and at the same time improves the flexibility of network device configuration.

[0218] The following is a detailed introduction to intra-frequency cell reselection for eRedCap UE.

[0219] In an embodiment of the present application, when the target parameter, ie, the parameter indicating whether the eRedCap UE is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection, is not configured in the cell access control information, the terminal device may determine that the eRedCap UE is prohibited from accessing the first cell.

[0220] It can be understood that, when there is no parameter in the SIB for indicating whether the eRedCap UE is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection, the eRedCap UE can be considered to be prohibited from accessing the current first cell, that is, the current first cell does not support the eRedCap UE.

[0221] It can be seen that the network device can indicate through the first information that the eRedCapUE is prohibited from accessing the first cell without configuring the target parameters, which can reduce the signaling overhead of the configuration information and improve the configuration flexibility of the cell access control.

[0222] In an embodiment of the present application, the first information may include multiple fourth sub-information, and the fourth sub-information is related to the number of RXs supported by the terminal.

[0223] In an embodiment of the present application, each fourth sub-information is used to indicate whether a terminal with L receiving links in the eRedCap UE is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection, where L is greater than or equal to 1, and different fourth sub-information corresponds to different numbers L of receiving links.

[0224] That is to say, different fourth sub-information can be used to respectively indicate whether terminals with different numbers of receiving links in the eRedCap UE are allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection.

[0225] Optionally, "intraFreqReselectionRedCap1RXEnhanced" can be used to indicate whether an eRedCap UE supporting 1 RX is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection. In addition, "intraFreqReselectionRedCap2RXEnhanced" can be used to indicate whether an eRedCap UE supporting 2 RXs is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection. It should be noted that the first information can also distinguish eRedCap UEs with more receiving links, which are not enumerated one by one in the embodiments of the present application.

[0226] Exemplarily, if "intraFreqReselectionRedCap1RXEnhanced" indicates "true", all eRedCap UEs supporting 1 RX in the network can be considered to be able to perform intra-frequency cell reselection after being prohibited from accessing the first cell. If "intraFreqReselectionRedCap1RXEnhanced" indicates "false", all eRedCap UEs supporting 1 RX in the network can be considered to be not allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection after being prohibited from accessing the first cell.

[0227] It can be seen that in the communication processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the same-frequency cell reselection information can be separately configured for eRedCapUEs with different numbers of RXs, so as to facilitate the same-frequency cell access control for some terminals in the eRedCap UE. In this way, the granularity of cell access control is further reduced and the flexibility of cell access control is improved.

[0228] The following describes in detail the specific method by which the eRedCap UE determines whether it is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection.

[0229] In one embodiment of the present application, the eRedCap UE may determine whether it is allowed to perform intra-frequency reselection in the following manner.

[0230] The eRedCap UE determines whether to allow intra-frequency cell reselection based on the first information;

[0231] or,

[0232] The eRedCap UE determines whether to perform intra-frequency cell reselection based on the number of receiving links it supports and multiple fourth sub-information.

[0233] In a possible implementation manner, when the first information is used to indicate whether the low-capability terminal is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection, the eRedCap UE can directly determine whether the eRedCap UE is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection according to the indication content of the first information.

[0234] In this implementation, reference Fig. 6A As shown in the flowchart, the eRedCap UE can determine whether it is prohibited from accessing the first cell in the following manner:

[0235] The first step is to read the first information.

[0236] The second step is to determine whether to allow intra-frequency cell reselection based on the first information.

[0237] The eRedCap UE determines whether to allow the same-frequency cell reselection according to the first information, which can be achieved in the following ways:

[0238] Determining whether the first information indicates that the eRedCap UE is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection;

[0239] If the first information indicates that the eRedCap UE is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection, the eRedCap UE determines that the intra-frequency cell reselection is allowed after prohibiting access to the current first cell;

[0240] If the first information indicates that the eRedCap UE is not allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection, the eRedCap UE determines not to perform intra-frequency cell reselection after prohibiting access to the current first cell.

[0241] In another possible implementation manner, when the first information includes multiple fourth sub-information, the eRedCapUE may determine whether to allow intra-frequency cell reselection according to the number of receiving links supported by it and the multiple fourth sub-information.

[0242] In this implementation, reference Figure 6B As shown in the flowchart, the eRedCap UE can determine whether to allow the same-frequency cell reselection according to the following method.

[0243] The first step is to read multiple fourth sub-information in the SIB;

[0244] Step 2: Determine whether intra-frequency cell reselection is allowed based on the number of supported receiving links and multiple fourth sub-information.

[0245] Among them, the eRedCap UE determines whether to allow the same-frequency cell reselection according to the number of supported receiving links and multiple fourth sub-information, which can be achieved in the following ways:

[0246] Determine the target fourth sub-information, the number L of receiving links corresponding to the target fourth sub-information is the same as the number of receiving links supported by the terminal device;

[0247] If the target fourth sub-information indicates that the terminal with L receiving links in the eRedCap UE is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection, the eRedCap UE is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection after prohibiting access to the first cell;

[0248] If the target fourth sub-information indicates that the terminal with L receiving links in the eRedCap UE is prohibited from performing intra-frequency cell reselection, the eRedCap UE does not perform intra-frequency cell reselection after being prohibited from accessing the first cell.

[0249] It is understandable that the eRedCap UE can first obtain the fourth sub-information matching the number of RXs supported by it from multiple fourth sub-information to obtain the target fourth sub-information. Then, the eRedCap UE can determine whether it is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection according to the specific indication content of the target fourth sub-information.

[0250] For example, in a scenario where the network device uses "intraFreqReselectionRedCap1RXEnhanced" to indicate whether the eRedCap UE supporting 1 RX is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection, and uses "intraFreqReselectionRedCap2RXEnhanced" to indicate whether the eRedCap UE supporting 2 RXs is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection, after the eRedCapUE receives SIB1, it can read the "intraFreqReselectionRedCap2RXEnhanced" or "intraFreqReselectionRedCap2RXEnhanced" carried in SIB1 according to the number of RXs it supports.

[0251] If the eRedCap UE supports 1 RX, the eRedCap UE can read the "intraFreqReselectionRedCap1RXEnhanced" in SIB1. If the information indicates "true", the eRedCap UE can assume that the same-frequency cell reselection can be performed after the first cell is prohibited from access. If the indication information indicates "false", the eRedCap UE can assume that the same-frequency cell reselection cannot be performed after the current first cell is prohibited from access. Correspondingly, if the eRedCap UE supports 2 RXs, the eRedCap UE can read the "intraFreqReselectionRedCap2RXEnhanced" in SIB1. If the information indicates "true", the eRedCap UE can assume that the same-frequency cell reselection can be performed after the first cell is prohibited from access. If the indication information indicates "false", the eRedCap UE can assume that the same-frequency cell reselection cannot be performed after the current first cell is prohibited from access.

[0252] Optionally, the first information may further include fifth information and / or sixth information. Exemplarily, the fifth sub-information may indicate whether the eRedCap UE supporting half-duplex is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection, and the sixth sub-information is used to indicate whether the eRedCap UE supporting full-duplex is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection.

[0253] Based on this, the eRedCap UE can determine whether it is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection according to the duplex capability supported by itself, as well as the fifth sub-information and / or the sixth sub-information.

[0254] Specifically, the eRedCap UE may determine the fifth sub-information or the sixth sub-information matching the duplex capability supported by the eRedCap UE;

[0255] If the matched fifth sub-information or sixth sub-information indicates that the eRedCap UE is prohibited from performing intra-frequency cell reselection, it is determined that after prohibiting access to the first cell, intra-frequency cell reselection is prohibited;

[0256] If the matched fifth sub-information or sixth sub-information indicates that the eRedCap UE is allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection, it is determined that after prohibiting access to the first cell, intra-frequency cell reselection is allowed.

[0257] Exemplarily, in the scenario where the eRedCap UE supports half-duplex capability, the eRedCap UE may select the fifth sub-information to perform the judgment process of intra-frequency cell reselection. If the fifth sub-information indicates "true", it can be considered that the eRedCap UE supporting half-duplex can perform intra-frequency cell reselection after prohibiting access to the first cell; if the fifth sub-information indicates "false", it can be considered that the eRedCap UE supporting half-duplex is not allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection after prohibiting access to the current first cell. In the scenario where the eRedCap UE supports full-duplex capability, the sixth sub-information may be selected to perform the judgment process of intra-frequency cell reselection. If the sixth sub-information indicates "true", all eRedCap UE supporting full-duplex can be considered to be able to perform intra-frequency cell reselection after prohibiting access to the first cell; if the sixth sub-information indicates "false", the eRedCap UE supporting full-duplex can be considered to be not allowed to perform intra-frequency cell reselection after prohibiting access to the current first cell.

[0258] In summary, the embodiment of the present application configures IFRI parameters separately for the eRedCap UE, and the network can implement more flexible same-frequency cell reselection control for the eRedCap UE according to different deployments.

[0259] In an embodiment of the present application, the network device may configure second information for one or more neighboring cell frequencies to indicate whether the frequency corresponding to the second information supports eRedCap UE.

[0260] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, after receiving at least one second information, the eRedCap UE can use the frequency point that the eRedCap UE is allowed to access as a candidate frequency point for cell reselection based on the at least one second information.

[0261] Exemplarily, the network device can configure a second information on each frequency point for the eRedCap UE. For example, "redCapAccessAllowedEnhanced", which indicates whether the eRedCap UE is allowed to access the frequency point. When a frequency band in the inter-frequency frequency point list is configured with the second information, and the second information indicates "true", it means that the eRedCap UE is allowed to access the frequency point. For the eRedCap UE, if the network is configured with an inter-frequency frequency point list, the eRedCap UE only uses those frequencies configured with the redCapAccessAllowedEnhanced indication information as inter-frequency frequencies for cell reselection to set relevant cell reselection parameters.

[0262] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, similar to the above embodiment, the network device may further divide the second information into multiple sub-information according to the number of RXs supported by the terminal and the duplex capability, so as to achieve more refined control over the inter-frequency cell reselection. Exemplarily, the second information may include multiple fifth sub-information, and each fifth information may be used to indicate whether an eRedCap UE with K RXs is allowed to access the current frequency, that is, whether the current frequency supports an eRedCap UE with K RXs. Different fifth sub-information corresponds to different numbers of RXs. Alternatively, the second information may include sixth sub-information and / or seventh sub-information, wherein the sixth sub-information may indicate whether the current frequency supports half-duplex eRedCap UEs, and the seventh sub-information may indicate whether the current frequency supports full-duplex eRedCap UEs.

[0263] In the embodiment of the present application, an inter-frequency access indication is separately configured for the eRedCap UE, and the network can implement more flexible inter-frequency cell reselection control for the eRedCap UE according to different deployments.
