Here, the small cell may include: Metro cell, Micro cell, Pico cell, Femto cell, etc. These small cells have the characteristics of small coverage range and low transmission power, and are suitable for providing high-rate data transmission services.

[0043] It should be understood that the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably in this article. The term "and / or" in this article merely describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships.

[0046] 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.

[0047] 1. Measurement reporting mechanism:

[0048] In order to ensure the service continuity of the terminal device as much as possible, the network equipment usually configures measurement configuration for the terminal. The terminal device performs cell measurement based on the measurement configuration and reports the cell measurement results when the reporting conditions are met. Based on the measurement reporting results of the terminal device, the network device can switch the terminal device to another cell in a timely manner to ensure service continuity.

[0049] Usually, a measurement configuration includes one or more measurement identifiers (IDs), and each measurement ID is associated with a measurement object (MO) and a set of measurement reporting configurations.

[0050] Each MO contains at least information related to the measurement frequency point, which is used to inform the terminal device of information such as the frequency domain location of the measurement object;

[0051] Each set of measurement report configuration includes at least information such as measurement report triggering mode (periodic trigger reporting or event trigger reporting). Periodic trigger reporting means that the terminal device reports the measurement results at a certain period; while event trigger reporting means that the measurement results can only be reported when a specific event configured in the measurement report configuration triggers it. For event trigger reporting, the standard stipulates that as long as at least one of the cell measurement results measured at the frequency point specified by the MO meets the measurement reporting event, the terminal device needs to trigger the measurement report.

[0052] 2. UAV measurement environment:

[0053] Unlike ground terminal devices, drone devices can receive network equipment services in the air. The wide field of view makes it easier for drone devices to receive line-of-sight signals from multiple cells. This advantage cannot be experienced by ground terminal devices because ground terminal devices are usually limited by the obstruction of ground buildings and street facilities. The cells that can provide line-of-sight signals to ground terminal devices are very limited.

[0054] For event-triggered reporting, the standard stipulates that as long as the measurement results of at least one cell among the cell measurement results measured on the frequency points specified by the corresponding MO meet the measurement reporting event, the terminal device needs to trigger measurement reporting. However, this mechanism is not very friendly to drone terminal devices because the drone terminal devices have a wide field of view in the air, and the number of cells that can be measured by them in the air will be significantly larger than that of ground terminal devices. If the measurement reporting trigger conditions of ground terminal devices are still used (as long as the measurement results of at least one cell among the cell measurement results measured on the frequency points specified by the corresponding MO meet the measurement reporting event, the terminal device needs to trigger measurement reporting), then the measurement reporting behavior of drone terminal devices will be frequently triggered. To reduce the number of measurement reports of drone terminal devices, a threshold n (n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2) of the number of cells that meet the conditions is introduced in the measurement reporting configuration. Only when the measurement results of at least n cells among the cell measurement results measured on the frequency points specified by the corresponding MO (measurement object) meet the measurement reporting event, the terminal device triggers measurement reporting.

[0055] By the above method, the number of measurement reports of drone terminal devices can be reduced, and the measurement reporting behavior of drone terminal devices is optimized. However, compared with the measurement reporting rules of ground terminal devices, the measurement reporting rules of drone terminal devices are much stricter (the number of cells that the drone terminal device needs to meet the measurement reporting trigger conditions needs to be greater than or equal to the threshold n, while the traditional ground terminal device only needs the number of cells that meet the measurement reporting trigger conditions to be greater than or equal to 1). Once the parameter n configured by the network device is unreasonable, the enhanced measurement reporting mechanism cannot improve the experience of drone terminal devices. For example, if n is configured too large, it will cause the terminal device to be unable to trigger measurement reporting all the time, and finally lead to the terminal device triggering a radio link failure, which is not worth the candle. On the other hand, the movement behavior of drone terminal devices is very difficult to be predicted by the network device. If the network device configures the parameter n, but the terminal device is flying at a very low altitude, at this time, the number of cells that can be measured by the drone terminal device is the same as that of the ground terminal device. Still letting the drone terminal device trigger measurement reporting according to the threshold n will also result in the situation that the measurement reporting cannot be triggered all the time, and finally lead to the terminal device triggering a radio link failure. Therefore, the measurement reporting trigger mechanism introduced for drone terminal devices cannot work well, but may instead affect the experience of drone terminal devices.

[0056] Figure 2 It is a schematic flowchart of a measurement reporting method 200 according to an embodiment of the present application. Optionally, this method can be applied to Figure 1 the system shown, but is not limited thereto. This method includes at least part of the following content.

[0057] S210. The terminal device uses the parameter associated with the first condition to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device; wherein, the first condition is a preset condition satisfied by the terminal device.

[0058] In some embodiments, the parameter associated with the first condition may include a cell quantity threshold.

[0059] Correspondingly, the terminal device uses the parameter associated with the first condition to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device, which may include: when the number of cells whose cell measurement results in the cell measurement results on the MO designated frequency point meet the measurement reporting event is greater than or equal to the cell quantity threshold, triggering the measurement reporting behavior.

[0060] The measurement reporting method proposed in this application can enable the terminal device to use an appropriate cell quantity threshold to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device when the conditions are appropriate, avoiding the terminal device from frequently triggering measurement reports; when the conditions are inappropriate, the terminal device is allowed to trigger the measurement reporting behavior in a relatively loose manner, avoiding connection failures of the terminal device due to the inability to trigger measurement reports in a timely manner.

[0061] The embodiments of the present disclosure can adopt the following two measurement reporting triggering methods:

[0062] Method 1: When the network device configures a cell quantity threshold n for controlling the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device, the terminal device needs to decide whether to use the cell quantity threshold n to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device according to the preset conditions.

[0063] Method 2: The network device configures at least one cell quantity threshold parameter for controlling the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device, and each cell quantity threshold parameter is associated with an application condition. The terminal device uses the cell quantity threshold parameter associated with the application condition that its own measurement results meet to control its own measurement reporting behavior.

[0064] Specific embodiments are respectively given below to introduce the above two methods in detail.

[0065] Method 1:

[0066] In some examples, the terminal device determines the preset condition satisfied by the terminal device according to at least one of the signal measurement result of the serving cell, the height of the terminal device, the configuration corresponding to the serving cell, the first timer, and the moving speed of the terminal device.

[0067] For example, the preset condition includes one or more of the following single conditions:

[0068] The signal measurement result of the serving cell is greater than or equal to the first threshold;

[0069] The height of the terminal device is greater than or equal to a second threshold value;

[0070] The difference between the height of the terminal device and the height of the reference point is greater than or equal to a third threshold value;

[0071] The configuration corresponding to the serving cell of the terminal device belongs to a first configuration range;

[0072] The terminal device is in the running period of the first timer;

[0073] The moving speed of the terminal device is less than or equal to a fourth threshold value.

[0074] Embodiment 1:

[0075] For the first method in the above measurement reporting triggering methods, the preset conditions may include at least one of the following conditions:

[0076] Condition 1: The terminal device measures that the signal measurement result of the current serving cell is greater than or equal to a first threshold value;

[0077] Condition 2: The terminal device measures that its own altitude is greater than or equal to a second threshold value;

[0078] Condition 3: The terminal device measures that its own altitude is greater than or equal to a third threshold value compared to the altitude of the reference point;

[0079] Condition 4: The terminal device determines that the configuration corresponding to the current serving cell belongs to a preset configuration range;

[0080] Condition 5: During the running period of the configuration valid timer;

[0081] Condition 6: The terminal device measures that its own moving speed is less than or equal to a fourth threshold value.

[0082] Specifically, the preset conditions may have the following two situations, that is, the preset conditions only include a single condition, or the preset conditions include at least two single conditions.

[0083] The beneficial logic of Condition 1 is that when the neighbor cell measurement task of the terminal device is enabled and the signal measurement result of the current serving cell measured by the terminal device is not too bad (i.e., the signal measurement result is greater than or equal to the first threshold), it is acceptable to adopt a more stringent measurement reporting rule (when the measurement results of at least n cells among the cell measurement results measured on the MO-specified frequency points meet the measurement reporting event, the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting behavior), because at this time the possibility of the terminal device triggering a radio link failure in the current serving cell is relatively low, and it is feasible to control the measurement reporting frequency of the terminal device by adopting a more stringent measurement reporting rule; on the other hand, when the measurement result of the serving cell measured by the terminal device is relatively low (for example, lower than the first threshold), it is considered that the preset condition is not met. At this time, the possibility of the terminal device triggering a radio link failure increases greatly. Adopting a more relaxed measurement reporting rule (when the measurement results of at least 1 cell among the cell measurement results measured on the MO-specified frequency points meet the measurement reporting event, the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting behavior) can enable the network device to trigger the handover process of the terminal device in time and prevent service interruption caused by untimely handover.

[0084] The beneficial logic of Condition 2 is similar to that of Condition 1. The drone terminal device can only show the difference from the ground terminal device when flying at a certain altitude in the air. Therefore, Condition 2 stipulates that only when the terminal device measures that its own altitude is greater than or equal to the second threshold, the terminal device adopts a more stringent measurement reporting rule, where the second threshold can be determined according to the reference altitude; otherwise, when the flight altitude of the terminal device does not meet Condition 2, it is considered that the preset condition is not met. At this time, the terminal device only needs to adopt a more relaxed measurement reporting rule to trigger the measurement reporting.

[0085] Optionally, the second threshold can be equal to the reference altitude.

[0086] The beneficial logic of Condition 3 is similar to that of Condition 2. The drone terminal device can only show the difference from the ground terminal device when flying at a certain altitude in the air. Therefore, Condition 3 stipulates that only when the terminal device measures that its own altitude is greater than or equal to the third threshold compared to the reference point altitude, the terminal device adopts a more stringent measurement reporting rule; otherwise, when the flight altitude of the terminal device does not meet Condition 3, it is considered that the preset condition is not met. At this time, the terminal device only needs to adopt a more relaxed measurement reporting rule to trigger the measurement reporting.

[0087] Optionally, the third threshold can be equal to 0. At this time, the actual meaning of Condition 3 is that the terminal device measures that its own altitude is greater than or equal to the reference point altitude.

[0088] Description of Condition 4: A more stringent measurement reporting rule may only apply to a specified area. The terminal device needs to determine whether the current serving cell belongs to the specified area. If the terminal device determines that the current serving cell belongs to the specified area, it is considered that the preset condition is satisfied. At this time, the terminal device adopts a more stringent measurement reporting rule; otherwise, if the terminal device determines that the current serving cell does not belong to the specified area, it is considered that the preset condition is not satisfied. At this time, the terminal device only needs to adopt a more relaxed measurement reporting rule to trigger measurement reporting.

[0089] Exemplarily, the above preset configuration includes at least one of the following configuration information:

[0090] Identification information of at least one cell;

[0091] Identification information of at least one tracking area code (TAC);

[0092] At least one RAN notification area code (RANAC);

[0093] Identification information of at least one Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN);

[0094] Identification information of at least one geographical area.

[0095] Among them, the identification information of the cell is cell identity information; or, the identification information of the cell is frequency point + Physical Cell Identity (PCI) information.

[0096] Example 1: For example, if the preset configuration includes PLMN ID1 and PLMN ID2 identification information, then if the terminal device learns from the system broadcast message or dedicated signaling of the current serving cell that the current serving cell supports PLMN ID1 or PLMN ID2, it is considered that Condition 4 is satisfied; otherwise, it is considered that Condition 4 is not satisfied;

[0097] Example 2: For example, if the preset configuration includes identification information 1 and identification information 2 of the cell, then if the terminal device learns from the system broadcast message or dedicated signaling of the current serving cell that the identification information of the current serving cell is identification information 1 or identification information 2, it is considered that Condition 4 is satisfied; otherwise, it is considered that Condition 4 is not satisfied.

[0098] Description of Condition 5: To control the use of the cell quantity threshold n parameter, the network device may configure an active timer for the terminal device. During the operation of the active timer, the terminal device triggers measurement reporting using a more stringent measurement reporting rule. Once the active timer stops running or times out, the terminal device uses a more relaxed measurement reporting rule.

[0099] Optionally, when the terminal device successfully receives a message containing the configuration associated with the active timer, the behavior of the terminal device further includes starting or restarting the active timer;

[0100] Optionally, during the operation of the active timer, if the terminal device successfully receives a message containing the configuration associated with the active timer, the behavior of the terminal device further includes stopping the operation of the active timer;

[0101] Optionally, when the active timer times out, the behavior of the terminal device further includes only using a more relaxed measurement reporting rule (when at least one of the measurement results of the cells measured on the MO-specified frequency band satisfies the measurement reporting event, the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting behavior).

[0102] Description of Condition 6: The beneficial logic of Condition 6 is that when the moving speed of the terminal device is relatively low, it is relatively easy for the network device to control the mobility of the terminal device, and it is acceptable to use a more stringent measurement reporting rule to control the measurement reporting quantity of the terminal device (when at least n of the measurement results of the cells measured on the MO-specified frequency band satisfy the measurement reporting event, the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting behavior); on the other hand, when the moving speed of the terminal device is relatively high, it is more difficult for the network device to control the mobility of the terminal device. At this time, if a more stringent measurement reporting rule is used to control the measurement reporting quantity of the terminal device, it may cause the network device to trigger the handover of the terminal device not in time, and then cause the terminal device to trigger a radio link failure. Therefore, when the moving speed of the terminal device is relatively high, it is more beneficial for the terminal device to use a relatively relaxed measurement reporting rule (when at least one of the measurement results of the cells measured on the MO-specified frequency band satisfies the measurement reporting event, the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting behavior).

[0103] Wherein, the meaning of the moving speed of the terminal device can be any one of the following: the vertical speed of the terminal device, the horizontal speed of the terminal device, the vector resultant speed of the terminal device, or the scalar resultant speed of the terminal device.

[0104] For the case where the preset condition includes at least two single conditions, when the terminal device satisfies at least one of the single conditions in the preset condition, the terminal device satisfies the preset condition; or, when the terminal device satisfies all of the single conditions in the preset condition, the terminal device satisfies the preset condition.

[0105] For example, the preset condition is formed by combining at least two of the above-mentioned condition 1 to condition 6. At this time, the meaning of the preset condition being satisfied can be any of the following:

[0106] Meaning 1: Only when at least two single conditions included in the preset condition are each satisfied, it is considered that the preset condition is satisfied;

[0107] Meaning 2: As long as any one of the at least two single conditions included in the preset condition is satisfied, it is considered that the preset condition is satisfied.

[0108] This application does not limit the number of single conditions (condition 1 to condition 6) included in the preset condition.

[0109] Exemplarily, for example, if the preset condition includes the above-mentioned condition 1 and condition 2, then under the implementation of the above-mentioned meaning 1, it is considered that the preset condition is satisfied only when condition 1 and condition 2 are both satisfied (that is: the signal measurement result of the current serving cell measured by the terminal device is greater than or equal to the first threshold and the altitude of the terminal device measured by the terminal device is greater than or equal to the second threshold); or, under the implementation of the above-mentioned meaning 2, when at least one of condition 1 and condition 2 is satisfied (that is: the signal measurement result of the current serving cell measured by the terminal device is greater than or equal to the first threshold; or the altitude of the terminal device measured by the terminal device is greater than or equal to the second threshold), it is considered that the preset condition is satisfied.

[0110] The usage rules of other combined conditions are similar to the usage rules of the combination of the above-mentioned condition 1 and condition 2, and will not be elaborated here.

[0111] Among them, the other combined conditions include: condition 1 and condition 3, condition 1 and condition 4, condition 2 and condition 3, condition 2 and condition 4, condition 3 and condition 4, condition 3 and condition 5, condition 4 and condition 6, (condition 1, condition 2 and condition 3), (condition 1, condition 2 and condition 4), (condition 1, condition 3 and condition 4), (condition 2, condition 3 and condition 4), (condition 1, condition 2, condition 3 and condition 4), etc., and will not be listed one by one here.

[0112] When the above-mentioned preset condition is configured, the terminal device can decide whether to use the cell quantity threshold n to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device according to this preset condition. For example, when the preset condition is satisfied and among the cell measurement results on the MO specified frequency point, the number of cells whose cell measurement results satisfy the measurement reporting event is greater than or equal to the cell quantity threshold, the measurement reporting behavior is triggered.

[0113] Embodiment 2:

[0114] When the terminal device determines that the preset condition is satisfied, it is considered that the cell quantity threshold n can be used to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device, that is: when the measurement results of at least n cells among the cell measurement results measured on the specified frequency point of the MO (Measurement Object) satisfy the measurement reporting event, the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting behavior; otherwise, when the terminal device determines that the preset condition is not satisfied, it is considered that the cell quantity threshold n cannot be used to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device, that is: when the measurement results of at least one cell among the cell measurement results measured on the specified frequency point of the MO (Measurement Object) satisfy the measurement reporting event, the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting behavior.

[0115] Among them, when the terminal device determines that the preset condition is not satisfied, the meaning that the cell quantity threshold n cannot be used to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device can be any of the following:

[0116] Meaning 1: When the terminal device determines that the preset condition is not satisfied, it is considered that the cell quantity threshold n parameter configured by the network device is invalid (accurately, the cell quantity threshold n parameter is temporarily invalid when the preset condition is not satisfied). At this time, the terminal device can only be processed as if the network device does not configure the cell quantity threshold n parameter, that is: as long as the measurement results of at least one cell among the cell measurement results measured on the specified frequency point of the corresponding MO satisfy the measurement reporting event, the terminal device needs to trigger the measurement reporting.

[0117] Meaning 2: When the terminal device determines that the preset condition is not satisfied, it is directly considered that the value of the cell quantity threshold n parameter configured by the network device is equal to 1. At this time, the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device is that as long as the measurement results of at least 1 (n = 1) cell among the cell measurement results measured on the specified frequency point of the corresponding MO satisfy the measurement reporting event, the terminal device needs to trigger the measurement reporting.

[0118] Exemplarily, the above measurement reporting event can be any one of the following events:

[0119] A1 event: The measurement result of the serving cell signal is higher than an absolute threshold;

[0120] A2 event: The measurement result of the serving cell signal is lower than an absolute threshold;

[0121] A3 event: The measurement result of the neighboring cell signal is higher than the measurement result of the primary cell (PCell, Primary Cell) / primary and secondary cell (PSCell, Primary SCell) by an offset;

[0122] A4 event: The measurement result of the neighboring cell signal is higher than an absolute threshold;

[0123] A5 event: The measurement result of the PCell / PSCell cell signal is lower than an absolute threshold 1, and the measurement result of the neighbor cell / secondary cell (SCell) cell signal is higher than an absolute threshold 2;

[0124] A6 event: The measurement result of the neighbor cell signal is higher than the measurement result of the SCell cell signal by an offset;

[0125] B1 event: The measurement result of a neighbor cell belonging to Inter RAT is higher than an absolute threshold;

[0126] B2 event: The measurement result of the PCell cell signal is lower than an absolute threshold 1, and the measurement result of a neighbor cell belonging to Inter RAT is higher than an absolute threshold 2.

[0127] In some embodiments, the cell signal measurement result may be a cell-level signal measurement result or a beam-level measurement result, and the measurement quantity characterizing the measurement result may be at least one of reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), and signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR).

[0128] In some embodiments, the measurement reporting method of the present disclosure may further include: the terminal device obtains configuration information related to a preset condition, and the configuration information related to the preset condition includes:

[0129] preset condition type information; and / or

[0130] parameter configuration information associated with the preset condition.

[0131] For example, the parameter configuration information associated with the preset condition may include at least one of the first threshold, the second threshold, the third threshold, the first configuration range, the first timer, the fourth threshold, and the reference point height.

[0132] Example 3: (Introduction to configuration information related to preset conditions)

[0133] Exemplarily, the configuration information related to the preset condition may be configured by at least one of the following methods: pre-configuration method, default configuration method, system broadcast message configuration method, dedicated signaling configuration method.

[0134] Exemplarily, the preset condition type information is used to inform the terminal device of what type of preset condition to use. For example, it indicates any one of preset conditions 1 to 6. Of course, if the preset condition supports a combined preset condition composed of at least two of preset conditions 1 to 6, the preset condition type information can also be used to indicate this combined preset condition. For example, if there are 8 preset conditions, then 3 bits can be used to indicate a specific preset condition type.

[0135] In one implementation manner, the configuration information related to the preset condition only includes the parameter configuration information associated with the preset condition. In this implementation manner, the protocol only supports a unique preset condition. Therefore, the configuration information related to the preset condition does not need to include the preset condition type information. For different types of preset conditions, the configuration parameters corresponding to the preset condition parameter configuration information are different. For example: when the preset condition is only condition 1, the preset condition parameter configuration information includes the parameters for configuring the first threshold; for another example, when the preset condition is a combined condition composed of condition 1 and condition 2, the preset condition parameter configuration information includes the parameters for configuring the first threshold and the parameters for configuring the second threshold. Although the preset condition parameter configuration information includes the parameters for configuring the first threshold and the parameters for configuring the second threshold, the configuration manner of the parameters corresponding to the first threshold and the configuration manner of the parameters corresponding to the second threshold can be the same or different. For example, the parameters corresponding to the first threshold are configured by default, but the parameters corresponding to the second threshold are configured by a dedicated signaling sent by the network device; for another example, the parameters corresponding to the first threshold and the parameters corresponding to the second threshold are both configured by a dedicated signaling sent by the network device. This application does not make any limitations in this regard.

[0136] In another implementation, the configuration information related to the preset condition includes the preset condition type information and the parameter configuration information associated with the preset condition. In this implementation, the protocol supports at least two types of preset conditions. To enable the terminal device to know which type of preset condition to apply, the configuration information related to the preset condition needs to include the preset condition type information. For example, it can be implemented through a selection function (choice{}) or an identification of the preset condition type ID. However, the judgment rules corresponding to each type of preset condition are different. Therefore, the configuration information related to the preset condition also needs to include the parameter configuration information associated with the preset condition. For instance, when the preset condition type information corresponds to indicating Condition 1, the parameter configuration information associated with the preset condition needs to include the parameters corresponding to the first threshold; for another example, when the preset condition type information corresponds to indicating a combined condition composed of Condition 1 and Condition 2, the parameter configuration information associated with the preset condition needs to include the parameters corresponding to the first threshold and the parameters corresponding to the second threshold. Similarly, the configuration methods of the parameters corresponding to the first threshold and the parameters corresponding to the second threshold can be the same or different, which will not be elaborated here.

[0137] In some embodiments, the network device can perform an enabling configuration on the terminal device, and the terminal device determines whether to use the cell quantity threshold n to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device according to the preset condition based on this enabling configuration.

[0138] For example, the terminal device uses the parameters associated with the first condition to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device, which may include:

[0139] The terminal device receives enabling indication information;

[0140] In the case where the enabling indication information indicates that it is allowed to determine whether to use the parameters associated with the first condition to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device according to the preset condition, when the terminal device meets the preset condition, the parameters associated with the first condition are used to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device; when the terminal device does not meet the preset condition, the parameters associated with the first condition are not used to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device or the protocol default parameters are used to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device. For example, using the protocol default parameters to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device may mean that when at least one of the cell measurement results measured by the terminal device at the corresponding MO specified frequency point meets the measurement reporting event, the measurement reporting behavior is triggered.

[0141] Optionally, after the terminal device receives the enabling indication information, it further includes: when the enabling indication information indicates that it is not allowed to determine whether to use the parameter associated with the first condition to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device according to the preset condition, the terminal device uses the parameter associated with the first condition to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device.

[0142] Embodiment 4:

[0143] The terminal device receives enabling indication information (which can also be called switch indication information) sent by the network device, and the enabling indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal device can determine whether to use the cell quantity threshold n to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device according to the preset condition.

[0144] Exemplarily, the usage rules of the enabling indication information are as follows:

[0145] When the meaning of the enabling indication information is 'allowed', the terminal device can determine whether to use the cell quantity threshold n to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device based on the preset condition, that is: if the network device configures the cell quantity threshold n, when the preset condition is satisfied, the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting behavior only when at least n cell measurement results in the cell measurement results measured on the corresponding MO specified frequency point satisfy the measurement reporting event; otherwise, when the preset condition is not satisfied, even if the network device configures the cell quantity threshold n, the terminal device also triggers the measurement reporting behavior when at least 1 cell measurement result in the cell measurement results measured on the corresponding MO specified frequency point satisfies the measurement reporting event.

[0146] When the meaning of the enabling indication information is 'not allowed', as long as the network device configures the cell quantity threshold n, the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting behavior only when at least n cell measurement results in the cell measurement results measured on the corresponding MO specified frequency point satisfy the measurement reporting event, regardless of whether the preset condition is satisfied.

[0147] Optionally, if the network device does not configure the cell quantity threshold n, regardless of whether the value of the enabling indication information is 'allowed' or 'not allowed', the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting behavior only when at least 1 cell measurement result in the cell measurement results measured on the corresponding MO specified frequency point satisfies the measurement reporting event.

[0148] In some embodiments, the terminal device can send capability indication information to the network device, and the capability indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal device supports determining whether to use the parameter associated with the first condition to control the measurement reporting behavior according to the preset condition.

[0149] Embodiment 5:

[0150] The terminal device sends capability indication information to the network device, and the capability indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal device supports the capability of determining whether to use the cell quantity threshold n to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device according to the preset condition.

[0151] Exemplarily, the meaning of the capability indication information is as follows:

[0152] When the meaning of the capability indication information is'supported', it indicates that the terminal device supports determining whether to use the cell quantity threshold n to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device according to the preset condition.

[0153] In one implementation manner, when the network device learns from the capability indication information that the terminal device has the capability of determining whether to use the cell quantity threshold n to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device according to the preset condition, the behavior of the network device further includes configuring configuration information related to the preset condition for the terminal device.

[0154] When the meaning of the capability indication information is 'not supported', it indicates that the terminal device does not support determining whether to use the cell quantity threshold n to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device, that is: as long as the network device configures the cell quantity threshold n, the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting behavior only when at least n cell measurement results in the cell measurement results measured on the corresponding MO specified frequency point satisfy the measurement reporting event.

[0155] Several embodiments for the first method in the measurement reporting triggering method are introduced above, and the second method in the above measurement reporting triggering method is introduced below.

[0156] Method 2:

[0157] In some examples, the terminal device determines the preset condition that the terminal device satisfies according to at least one of the signal measurement result of the serving cell, the height of the terminal device, the configuration corresponding to the serving cell, and the moving speed of the terminal device.

[0158] For example, the preset condition includes one or more of the following single conditions:

[0159] The signal measurement result of the serving cell belongs to a value range;

[0160] The height of the terminal device belongs to a value range;

[0161] The difference between the height of the terminal device and the reference point height belongs to a value range;

[0162] The configuration corresponding to the serving cell belongs to a configuration range;

[0163] The moving speed of the terminal device belongs to a value range.

[0164] Among them, the meaning of the moving speed of the terminal device can be any one of the following: the vertical speed of the terminal device, the horizontal speed of the terminal device, the vector resultant speed of the terminal device, or the scalar resultant speed of the terminal device.

[0165] In some embodiments, the terminal device uses the parameter associated with the first condition to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device, which may include: the terminal device determines the first condition satisfied by the terminal device from a plurality of pre-configured preset conditions; the terminal device uses the parameter associated with the first condition to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device.

[0166] Embodiment 6:

[0167] For the second method in the above measurement reporting triggering method, the network device configures at least one cell quantity threshold parameter for controlling the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device, and each of the cell quantity threshold parameters is associated with an application condition. The terminal device uses the cell quantity threshold parameter that meets the application condition associated with the measurement result of the terminal device itself to control its own measurement reporting behavior. The application conditions include at least one of the following:

[0168] Application condition 1: The signal measurement result of the serving cell measured by the terminal device satisfies a value range;

[0169] Application condition 2: The altitude measured by the terminal device satisfies a value range;

[0170] Application condition 3: The difference between the altitude measured by the terminal device and the altitude of the reference point satisfies a value range;

[0171] Application condition 4: The terminal device determines that the configuration corresponding to the current serving cell belongs to a preset configuration range;

[0172] Application condition 5: The moving speed measured by the terminal device satisfies a value range.

[0173] Specifically, the preset conditions can have the following two situations, that is, the preset condition only contains a single condition, or the preset condition contains at least two single conditions.

[0174] Example of using Application Condition 1: The network device is configured with 3 cell quantity threshold parameters for controlling the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device (hereinafter referred to as cell quantity threshold parameter 1, cell quantity threshold parameter 2, and cell quantity threshold parameter 3). Among them, the value of cell quantity threshold parameter 1 is 3, and the associated application condition is that the signal measurement result of the serving cell measured by the terminal device is greater than or equal to threshold 4. The value of cell quantity threshold parameter 2 is 2, and the associated application condition is that the signal measurement result of the serving cell measured by the terminal device is greater than or equal to threshold 5 and less than threshold 4. The value of cell quantity threshold parameter 3 is 1, and the associated application condition is that the signal measurement result of the serving cell measured by the terminal device is less than threshold 5.

[0175] If the terminal device actually measures that the signal measurement result of the current serving cell is greater than or equal to threshold 4, then use cell quantity threshold parameter 1 to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device (that is: when at least 3 cell measurement results in the cell measurement results measured on the corresponding MO specified frequency band meet the measurement reporting event, the terminal device triggers measurement reporting); if the terminal device actually measures that the signal measurement result of the current serving cell is greater than or equal to threshold 5 and less than threshold 4, then use cell quantity threshold parameter 2 to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device; if the terminal device actually measures that the signal measurement result of the current serving cell is less than threshold 5, then use cell quantity threshold parameter 3 to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device.

[0176] Example of using Application Condition 2: The network device is configured with 3 cell quantity threshold parameters for controlling the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device (hereinafter referred to as cell quantity threshold parameter 1, cell quantity threshold parameter 2, and cell quantity threshold parameter 3). Among them, the value of cell quantity threshold parameter 1 is 3, and the associated application condition is that the altitude measured by the terminal device is greater than or equal to threshold 4. The value of cell quantity threshold parameter 2 is 2, and the associated application condition is that the altitude measured by the terminal device is greater than or equal to threshold 5 and less than threshold 4. The value of cell quantity threshold parameter 3 is 1, and the associated application condition is that the altitude measured by the terminal device is less than threshold 5.

[0177] If the terminal device actually measures that the altitude is greater than or equal to threshold 4, then use cell quantity threshold parameter 1 to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device (that is: when at least 3 cell measurement results in the cell measurement results measured on the corresponding MO specified frequency band meet the measurement reporting event, the terminal device triggers measurement reporting); if the terminal device actually measures that the altitude is greater than or equal to threshold 5 and less than threshold 4, then use cell quantity threshold parameter 2 to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device; if the terminal device actually measures that the altitude is less than threshold 5, then use cell quantity threshold parameter 3 to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device.

[0178] Example of using Application Condition 3: The network device is configured with 3 cell quantity threshold parameters for controlling the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device (hereinafter referred to as Cell Quantity Threshold Parameter 1, Cell Quantity Threshold Parameter 2, and Cell Quantity Threshold Parameter 3). Among them, the value of Cell Quantity Threshold Parameter 1 is 3, and the associated application condition is that the difference between the altitude measured by the terminal device and the altitude of the reference point is greater than or equal to Threshold 4; the value of Cell Quantity Threshold Parameter 2 is 2, and the associated application condition is that the difference between the altitude measured by the terminal device and the altitude of the reference point is greater than or equal to Threshold 5 and less than Threshold 4; the value of Cell Quantity Threshold Parameter 3 is 1, and the associated application condition is that the difference between the altitude measured by the terminal device and the altitude of the reference point is less than Threshold 5.

[0179] If the difference between the altitude actually measured by the terminal device and the altitude of the reference point is greater than or equal to Threshold 4, then Cell Quantity Threshold Parameter 1 is used to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device (that is, when at least 3 cell measurement results in the cell measurement results measured on the corresponding MO specified frequency band satisfy the measurement reporting event, the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting); if the difference between the altitude actually measured by the terminal device and the altitude of the reference point is greater than or equal to Threshold 5 and less than Threshold 4, then Cell Quantity Threshold Parameter 2 is used to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device; if the difference between the altitude actually measured by the terminal device and the altitude of the reference point is less than Threshold 5, then Cell Quantity Threshold Parameter 3 is used to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device.

[0180] Example of using Application Condition 4: The network device is configured with 3 cell quantity threshold parameters for controlling the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device (hereinafter referred to as Cell Quantity Threshold Parameter 1, Cell Quantity Threshold Parameter 2, and Cell Quantity Threshold Parameter 3). Among them, the value of Cell Quantity Threshold Parameter 1 is 3, and the associated application condition is that the terminal device determines that the configuration corresponding to the current serving cell belongs to the preset configuration range 1; the value of Cell Quantity Threshold Parameter 2 is 2, and the associated application condition is that the terminal device determines that the configuration corresponding to the current serving cell belongs to the preset configuration range 2; the value of Cell Quantity Threshold Parameter 3 is 1, and the associated application condition is that the terminal device determines that the configuration corresponding to the current serving cell belongs to the preset configuration range 3.

[0181] If the terminal device determines that the configuration corresponding to the current serving cell belongs to the preset configuration range 1, it uses the cell quantity threshold parameter 1 to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device (i.e., when the measurement results of at least 3 cells among the cell measurement results measured on the specified frequency point of the corresponding MO meet the measurement reporting event, the terminal device triggers measurement reporting); if the terminal device determines that the configuration corresponding to the current serving cell belongs to the preset configuration range 2, it uses the cell quantity threshold parameter 2 to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device; if the terminal device determines that the configuration corresponding to the current serving cell belongs to the preset configuration range 3, it uses the cell quantity threshold parameter 3 to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device.

[0182] Exemplarily, the above preset configuration includes at least one of the following configuration information:

[0183] Identification information of at least one cell;

[0184] Identification information of at least one tracking area code (TAC);

[0185] At least one radio access network area code (RANAC);

[0186] Identification information of at least one public land mobile network (PLMN);

[0187] Identification information of at least one geographical area.

[0188] Among them, the identification information of the cell is the cell identity information; or, the identification information of the cell is the frequency point + physical cell identity (PCI) information.

[0189] Example of using Application Condition 5: The network device configures 3 cell quantity threshold parameters for controlling the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device (hereinafter referred to as cell quantity threshold parameter 1, cell quantity threshold parameter 2, and cell quantity threshold parameter 3). Among them, the value of cell quantity threshold parameter 1 is 1 and the associated application condition is that the moving speed measured by the terminal device is greater than or equal to threshold 4, the value of cell quantity threshold parameter 2 is 2 and the associated application condition is that the moving speed measured by the terminal device is greater than or equal to threshold 5 and less than threshold 4, and the value of cell quantity threshold parameter 3 is 3 and the associated application condition is that the moving speed measured by the terminal device is less than threshold 5.

[0190] If the actual measured moving speed of the terminal device is greater than or equal to threshold 4, the cell quantity threshold parameter 1 is used to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device (i.e., when at least one of the measurement results of the cells measured on the specified frequency points corresponding to the MO satisfies the measurement reporting event, the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting); if the actual measured moving speed of the terminal device is greater than or equal to threshold 5 and less than threshold 4, the cell quantity threshold parameter 2 is used to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device; if the actual measured moving speed of the terminal device is less than threshold 5, the cell quantity threshold parameter 3 is used to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device.

[0191] For the case where the preset condition includes at least two single conditions, when the terminal device satisfies at least one of the single conditions in the preset condition, the terminal device satisfies the preset condition; or, when the terminal device satisfies all of the single conditions in the preset condition, the terminal device satisfies the preset condition.

[0192] For example, the application condition is formed by combining at least two of the above application conditions 1 to 5. At this time, the meaning of the satisfaction of the application condition is as follows:

[0193] Meaning 1: Only when at least two single conditions included in the application condition are each satisfied, it is considered that the application condition is satisfied;

[0194] Meaning 2: As long as any one of the at least two single conditions included in the application condition is satisfied, it is considered that the application condition is satisfied.

[0195] This application does not limit the number of single conditions (application conditions 1 to 5) included in the application condition.

[0196] Exemplarily, for example, if the preset condition includes the above application condition 1 and application condition 2, then under the implementation of the above meaning 1, it must be considered that the preset condition is satisfied only when application condition 1 and application condition 2 are both satisfied (i.e., the terminal device measures that the signal measurement result of the current serving cell satisfies a value range, and the terminal device measures that its own altitude satisfies a value range); or, under the implementation of the above meaning 2, when at least one of application condition 1 and application condition 2 is satisfied (i.e., the terminal device measures that the signal measurement result of the current serving cell satisfies a value range, or the terminal device measures that its own altitude satisfies a value range), it is considered that the preset condition is satisfied.

[0197] The usage rules of other combined conditions are similar to the usage rules of the combination of the above conditions 1 and 2, and will not be elaborated here.

[0198] In some embodiments, the measurement report proposed in this application may further include: The terminal device obtains configuration information related to a preset condition, and the configuration information related to the preset condition includes at least one of the following:

[0199] Parameters associated with at least one preset condition, and the parameter is used to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device;

[0200] Preset condition type information;

[0201] Parameter configuration information associated with the preset condition.

[0202] For example, the parameter may refer to a cell quantity threshold.

[0203] Exemplarily, the parameters associated with at least one preset condition include at least one cell quantity threshold parameter for controlling the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device, and the terminal device uses the cell quantity threshold parameter to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device.

[0204] Among them, the parameter configuration information associated with the preset condition includes at least one of at least one value range, boundary values of at least one value range, at least one configuration range, and reference point height.

[0205] The preset condition may be a single condition or a combined condition. When the protocol defines multiple preset conditions at the same time, each preset condition may correspond to a preset condition type information.

[0206] Example 7: (Configuration information related to application conditions)

[0207] The behavior of the terminal device further includes obtaining configuration information related to application conditions.

[0208] The configuration information related to application conditions includes at least one of the following:

[0209] At least one cell quantity threshold parameter for controlling the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device;

[0210] Application condition parameter configuration information associated with the cell quantity threshold parameter;

[0211] Application condition type information associated with the cell quantity threshold parameter.

[0212] The application condition parameter configuration information includes at least one value range threshold (for example: the threshold 4, the threshold 5) and / or at least one set of preset configuration ranges.

[0213] The configuration information related to application conditions is configured by at least one of the following methods: pre-configuration method, default configuration method, system broadcast message configuration method, dedicated signaling configuration method.

[0214] In some embodiments, the terminal device may further send capability indication information to the network device. For example, the terminal device sends capability indication information to the network device, and the capability indication information is used to indicate whether the terminal device supports the capability of determining which set of associated cell quantity threshold parameters to use to control the measurement reporting behavior of the terminal device according to different application conditions.

[0215] The above two measurement reporting trigger methods are introduced. In some embodiments, the terminal device may further scale the measurement reporting event control parameter (TTT, Time To Trigger) according to at least one of the current height and the moving speed, and this process is applicable to both Method 1 and Method 2 in the above measurement reporting trigger methods.

[0216] For example, the terminal device may scale the measurement reporting event TTT according to at least one of the current height and the moving speed by using a pre-set corresponding relationship and / or scaling method.

[0217] Specifically, the corresponding relationship and / or scaling method may include:

[0218] As at least one of the current height and the moving speed increases, the value of the measurement reporting event TTT increases; or,

[0219] As at least one of the current height and the moving speed increases, the value of the measurement reporting event TTT decreases; or,

[0220] When the current height is in the first value range and / or the current moving speed is in the second value range, the value of the measurement reporting event TTT is fixed.

[0221] Among them, the above first value range and second value range may include multiple, and each value range may correspond to a TTT value.

[0222] Embodiment 8:

[0223] Optionally, the terminal device may further determine how to scale the measurement reporting event control parameter (TTT, Time To Trigger) according to its own current altitude information and / or speed information.

[0224] Specifically, the following possibilities are included:

[0225] Rule 1: The measurement reporting parameter TTT is negatively or positively correlated with the current altitude of the terminal device, that is: the higher the current altitude of the terminal device, the smaller the measurement reporting parameter TTT. Example: TTT 新 = (-aTTT 原始 / H) + b; or, the higher the current altitude of the terminal device, the larger the measurement reporting parameter TTT. Example: TTT 新= (aTTT 原始 × H) + b; where parameter a is a positive number, parameter b is a non - negative number, and H represents the current altitude of the terminal device.

[0226] Rule 2: The measurement reporting parameter TTT is negatively or positively correlated with the current altitude step of the terminal device. The so - called negative step correlation means that when the current altitude of the terminal device is within the first altitude interval, the scaled value of TTT is all 1, and when the current altitude of the terminal device is within the second altitude interval, the scaled value of TTT is all 2. The number of altitude intervals determines the actual number of TTTs used by the terminal device. For example: The protocol stipulates that when the current altitude of the terminal device belongs to the interval [0, 50 m), the original value of TTT is not scaled. When the current altitude of the terminal device belongs to the interval [50 m, 100 m), TTT 新 = TTT 原始 / 2. When the current altitude of the terminal device belongs to the interval [100 m, infinity), TTT 新 = TTT 原始 / 3; Similarly, the so - called positive step correlation means that when the current altitude of the terminal device is within the first altitude interval, the enlarged value of TTT is all 3, and when the current altitude of the terminal device is within the second altitude interval, the enlarged value of TTT is all 4. The number of altitude intervals determines the actual number of TTTs used by the terminal device. For example: The protocol stipulates that when the current altitude of the terminal device belongs to the interval [0, 50 m), the original value of TTT is not scaled. When the current altitude of the terminal device belongs to the interval [50 m, 100 m), TTT 新 = 1.5TTT 原始 . When the current altitude of the terminal device belongs to the interval [100 m, infinity), TTT 新 = 2TTT 原始 .

[0227] Rule 3: The measurement reporting parameter TTT is negatively or positively correlated with the current speed of the terminal device, that is: the faster the current speed of the terminal device, the smaller the measurement reporting parameter TTT. Example: TTT 新 = (-aTTT 原始 / S) + b; Or, the faster the current speed of the terminal device, the larger the measurement reporting parameter TTT. Example: TTT 新 = (aTTT 原始 × S) + b; where parameter a and parameter b are positive numbers, and S represents the current speed of the terminal device.

[0228] Rule 4: The measurement reporting parameter TTT is negatively or positively correlated with the current speed step of the terminal device. The so-called negative step correlation means that when the current speed of the terminal device is within the first speed interval, the reduced value of TTT is all value 1, and when the current speed of the terminal device is within the second speed interval, the reduced value of TTT is all value 2. The number of speed intervals determines the number of TTTs actually used by the terminal device. For example, the protocol stipulates that when the current speed of the terminal device belongs to the interval [0, 5 m / s), the original value of TTT is not scaled. When the current speed of the terminal device belongs to the interval [5 m / s, 10 m / s), TTT 新 = TTT 原始 / 2. When the current speed of the terminal device belongs to the interval [10 m / s, infinitely fast), TTT 新 = TTT 原始 / 3; Similarly, the so-called positive step correlation means that when the current speed of the terminal device is within the first speed interval, the enlarged value of TTT is all value 3, and when the current speed of the terminal device is within the second speed interval, the enlarged value of TTT is all value 4. The number of speed intervals determines the number of TTTs actually used by the terminal device. For example, the protocol stipulates that when the current speed of the terminal device belongs to the interval [0, 5 m / s), the original value of TTT is not scaled. When the current speed of the terminal device belongs to the interval [5 m / s, 10 m / s), TTT 新 = 1.5TTT 原始 When the current speed of the terminal device belongs to the interval [10 m / s, infinitely fast), TTT 新 = 2TTT 原始 .

[0229] Rule 5: Consider both the current altitude information and speed information of the terminal device. For example, the higher the altitude and the faster the speed of the terminal device, the smaller the TTT value; the lower the altitude and the slower the speed of the terminal device, the larger the TTT value or the original TTT value is maintained. In other cases, the TTT value is between the above two cases.

[0230] Among them, TTT 原始 can be configured by the network device for the terminal device.

[0231] In some embodiments, the measurement reporting method proposed in this application may further include:

[0232] Whenever the terminal device triggers a measurement report, the terminal device simultaneously starts a second timer;

[0233] During the operation of this second timer, the terminal device is not allowed to trigger a measurement report for any frequency point or the terminal device is not allowed to trigger a measurement report for the frequency points included in the MO associated with this second timer.

[0234] Specifically, the second timer can be applicable to the frequency points included in all the MOs configured for the terminal device. That is, during the operation of the second timer, the terminal device is not allowed to trigger measurement reports for any frequency points;

[0235] Alternatively, the second timer is configured according to the MO or frequency point granularity. For example, the second timer is applicable to the frequency points included in the MOs associated with it; that is, during the operation of the second timer, the terminal device is not allowed to trigger measurement reports for the frequency points included in the MOs associated with the second timer.

[0236] Among them, triggering a measurement report can be triggered when the cell measurement results on the frequency point corresponding to the MO meet the measurement report event, or it can also be triggered when the measurement results of the cells that previously met the measurement report event on the frequency point corresponding to the MO now meet the departure condition of the measurement report event. For example, in the initial state, there are cell 1 and cell 2 on the frequency point corresponding to the MO that meet the measurement report event. When a new cell meets the measurement report event, such as when cell 3 meets the measurement report event, a measurement report is triggered. Or, in the initial state, there are cell 1 and cell 2 on the frequency point corresponding to the MO that meet the measurement report event. When the current measurement result of cell 2 meets the departure condition of the measurement report event, a measurement report is triggered. For the case where the second timer is configured according to the terminal granularity, that is: applicable to any frequency point, it can further include:

[0237] Furthermore, in the case where the second timer times out, if the cell measurement results corresponding to at least one cell measured on the frequency point corresponding to any MO configured for the terminal device meet the measurement report event associated with the corresponding MO, the terminal device triggers a measurement report for the frequency points included in the corresponding MO; or,

[0238] In the case where the second timer times out, if the cell measurement results corresponding to at least one cell measured on the frequency point corresponding to any MO configured for the terminal device meet the departure condition of the measurement report event associated with the corresponding MO, the terminal device triggers a measurement report for the frequency points included in the corresponding MO.

[0239] Optionally, in the case of meeting the measurement report event associated with the corresponding MO, the cells that trigger the measurement report of the terminal device only include new cells except for the cells that triggered the measurement report historically (that is, the cells that met the measurement report event associated with the corresponding MO historically), and the measurement results of these new cells meet the measurement report event associated with the corresponding MO; or, the relationship between the cells that trigger the current measurement report and the cells that triggered the measurement report historically is not limited (that is, as long as the cell measurement results corresponding to at least one cell on the frequency point associated with the MO meet the measurement report event associated with the corresponding MO, a measurement report is triggered). Of course, if the cell quantity threshold configuration associated with the corresponding MO is also effective, it is necessary to further meet the cell quantity threshold condition before the measurement report can be triggered;

[0240] Optionally, in a case where the measurement reporting event departure condition corresponding to the MO association is satisfied, the cell that triggers the measurement reporting of the terminal device is the cell that satisfied the measurement reporting event corresponding to the MO association in history.

[0241] Optionally, the cell that triggered the measurement reporting in history or the cell that satisfied the measurement reporting event corresponding to the MO association in history may only include the cell that triggered the measurement reporting last time; or, include the cells that triggered the measurement reporting multiple times.

[0242] Exemplarily, the network device configures a cell quantity threshold parameter for the terminal device and the value is 3. This parameter is associated with MO1. When the number of cells that satisfy the measurement reporting event on the frequency band corresponding to MO1 is greater than or equal to the cell quantity threshold, for example: the cells that satisfy the measurement reporting event include cell A, cell B, cell C, and cell D, the terminal device triggers a measurement reporting and starts a second timer. During the operation of the second timer, the terminal device is not allowed to trigger the measurement reporting on any frequency band, that is: during the operation of the second timer, even if the measurement results of new cells satisfy the measurement reporting event corresponding to the MO association or the measurement results of some cells satisfy the measurement reporting event departure condition corresponding to the MO association, the terminal device is not allowed to trigger the measurement reporting on any frequency band; when the second timer expires, if the measurement results of at least one new cell (for example, a cell different from cell A, cell B, cell C, or cell D under the frequency band corresponding to MO1, such as: cell E and cell F) satisfy the measurement reporting event corresponding to the MO association and the number of cells that satisfy the measurement reporting event on the frequency band corresponding to the MO is greater than or equal to 1 (in the scenario where no cell quantity threshold is configured for this MO) or the number of cells that satisfy the measurement reporting event on the frequency band corresponding to the MO is greater than or equal to the configured cell quantity threshold (in the scenario where the cell quantity threshold is configured for this MO and is valid), the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting and starts a second timer; and / or, when the second timer expires, if the measurement results of at least one cell that has triggered the measurement reporting of the terminal device (for example, cell A, cell B, cell C, or cell D under the frequency band corresponding to MO1) satisfy the measurement reporting event departure event (the Onleave parameter related to the measurement reporting event corresponding to the MO association has been configured to allow triggering the departure event reporting), the terminal device triggers the measurement reporting and starts a second timer. The terminal device then repeats the process described above, which is not introduced again here.

[0243] Or, for the case where the second timer is configured according to the MO or frequency band granularity, it may further include:

[0244] In the case where the second timer expires, if the cell measurement results corresponding to at least one cell measured on the frequency point corresponding to the MO associated with the second timer satisfy the measurement reporting event associated with the corresponding MO, the terminal device triggers a measurement report for the frequency points included in the MO associated with the second timer; or,

[0245] In the case where the second timer expires, if the cell measurement results corresponding to at least one cell measured on the frequency point corresponding to the MO associated with the second timer satisfy the measurement reporting event departure condition associated with the corresponding MO, the terminal device triggers a measurement report for the frequency points included in the MO associated with the second timer.

[0246] Exemplarily, the network device configures a cell quantity threshold parameter for the terminal device and the value is 3. This parameter is associated with MO1. When the number of cells satisfying the measurement reporting event on the frequency point corresponding to MO1 is greater than or equal to the cell quantity threshold, for example: the cells satisfying the measurement reporting event include cell A, cell B, cell C, and cell D, the terminal device triggers a measurement report once and starts the second timer. During the operation of the second timer, the terminal device is not allowed to trigger a measurement report on the frequency points associated with this second timer, that is: during the operation of the second timer, even if the measurement results of new cells on this frequency point satisfy the measurement reporting event associated with the corresponding MO or the measurement results of some cells satisfy the measurement reporting event departure condition associated with the corresponding MO, the terminal device is not allowed to trigger a measurement report on this frequency point; when the second timer expires, if the measurement results of at least one new cell (for example, cells different from cell A, cell B, cell C, or cell D under the frequency point corresponding to MO1, such as: cell E and cell F) on the frequency point corresponding to MO1 satisfy the measurement reporting event associated with MO1 and the number of cells satisfying the measurement reporting event on the frequency point corresponding to MO1 is greater than or equal to 1 (in the scenario where no cell quantity threshold is configured for MO1) or the number of cells satisfying the measurement reporting event on the frequency point corresponding to MO1 is greater than or equal to the configured cell quantity threshold (in the scenario where a cell quantity threshold is configured for MO1 and it is valid), the terminal device triggers a measurement report and starts the second timer; and / or, when the second timer expires, if the measurement results of at least one cell (for example, cell A, cell B, cell C, or cell D under the frequency point corresponding to MO1) that has triggered the terminal device's measurement report satisfy the measurement reporting event departure event (the Onleave parameter associated with the measurement reporting event associated with MO1 has been configured to allow triggering of the departure event report), the terminal device triggers a measurement report and starts the second timer. The terminal device then repeats the process described above, which will not be introduced again here.

[0247] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned second timer is configured by at least one of the following methods: pre-configuration method, default configuration method, system broadcast message configuration method, dedicated signaling configuration method.
