[0043] Here, the exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and the examples are shown in the drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementation manners described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementation manners consistent with the present invention. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0044] In the related art, the base station sends measurement frequency points to the UE through RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling or system messages. The UE measures the measurement frequency points in the idle state. When the UE accesses the network, indication information is carried in the RRC connection establishment completion message (Msg5) to notify the base station that there are available measurement results. Then the base station requests the measurement results from the UE through the UE information request message, and the UE reports the measurement results through the UE information reporting message. The base station configures DC / CA for the UE according to the measurement results. The industry is researching how to provide measurement results to the network side earlier.

[0045] A possible solution is that the base station configures DC / CA in Msg4 (Message 4). To achieve this, one way is that the base station blindly configures based on the estimation of the UE, provided that the base station knows that the UE is in a static state (including the idle state and the inactive state). Another way is that the UE in the idle state or the inactive state periodically reports the measurement results.

[0046] For the blind configuration method, the problem is that even for a static UE, its channel changes with the external environment, so there is a certain risk in blind configuration.

[0047] For the UE's periodic reporting method, the existing problem is that the overhead is too large. On the one hand, it wastes the UE's power consumption, and on the other hand, there is a large amount of signaling overhead. Even if the measurement result report is multiplexed with the RNAU (RAN Notification Area Update) message, it is required that the RNAU message be sent at a high frequency, otherwise the validity of the measurement result will be discounted. Moreover, the above two schemes are mainly only applicable to static UEs.

[0048] To solve the above problems, in this embodiment, the UE determines whether the measurement result meets a preset threshold value, and sends the indication information reflecting the judgment result to the base station along with Msg1 (Message 1) or Msg3 (Message 3). In this way, the indication information related to the measurement result can be fed back to the base station more timely, and it is applicable to UEs in various states.

[0049] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a method for transmitting information related to measurement shown according to an exemplary embodiment. The method for transmitting information related to measurement is used for access network devices such as base stations. As Figure 1 shown, the method includes the following steps 101-102.

[0050] In step 101, a measurement configuration message is generated, and the measurement configuration message includes a measurement target and threshold value information. In step 102, the measurement configuration message is sent to the UE.

[0051] In this embodiment, threshold value information is newly added to the measurement configuration message. The base station can send the threshold value information to the UE, and the UE makes a judgment between the measurement result and the threshold value. On the one hand, it saves the process for the base station to judge between the measurement result and the threshold value, and on the other hand, it is beneficial for the base station to obtain information related to the measurement result more timely.

[0052] The threshold value information in this embodiment can be a specific threshold value. Alternatively, the threshold value information can be an identifier or index of the threshold value. Various threshold values are sent to the UE in advance, and then the identifier or index of the threshold value is carried in the measurement configuration message.

[0053] In one embodiment, when there are multiple measurement targets, the threshold value information includes at least part of the threshold value information corresponding to the measurement targets.

[0054] In this embodiment, the measurement configuration message may carry one or more measurement targets. One or more measurement targets may correspond to a set of threshold information. Different sets of threshold information may be the same or different. When there are multiple measurement targets, the threshold information includes at least part of the threshold information corresponding to the measurement targets. That is, the number of measurement targets carried in the measurement configuration message is greater than or equal to the number of sets of threshold information carried in the measurement configuration message. The base station can be flexibly configured according to actual needs.

[0055] In one embodiment, the measurement configuration message includes an RRC (Radio Resource Control) connection release message or a system message.

[0056] In this embodiment, the base station can carry the measurement target and the threshold information through the system message, which is applicable to multiple UEs and is universal for most UEs in the cell, and can reduce the number of messages when sending them to UEs one by one. Or, the base station carries the measurement target and the threshold information through the RRC connection release message, which is applicable to a single UE and is convenient for personalized configuration of the UE.

[0057] In one embodiment, the threshold information includes at least one of the following: the RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power) threshold information of the SSB (SS / PBCH BLOCK, Synchronization Broadcast Block), the RSRQ (Reference Signal Receiving Quality) threshold information of the SSB, the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) threshold information of the SSB, the RSRP threshold information of the CSI (Channel State Information), the RSRQ threshold information of the CSI, and the RSSI threshold information of the CSI.

[0058] This embodiment provides a variety of threshold information, and the base station can select and configure according to actual needs, with more flexible configuration and applicable to a variety of application scenarios.

[0059] In one embodiment, the method further includes: Step A.

[0060] In Step A, receive the message 1 (Msg1) or message 3 (Msg3) sent by the UE, where the Msg1 or Msg3 includes indication information for indicating whether the measurement result of the measurement target corresponding to the threshold information meets the corresponding threshold information.

[0061] In this embodiment, the base station can obtain indication information related to the measurement result through Msg1 or Msg3. Msg1 or Msg3 can occur in many processes, so the base station can obtain the indication information in a relatively timely manner without the need to design a dedicated message for transmitting the indication information, and the compatibility is good. Moreover, the base station directly obtains the indication information, reducing the judgment process of the measurement result on the base station side and facilitating the base station to perform subsequent configurations, such as configuring DC / CA, more quickly. In addition, the indication information can save the occupied network resources compared with the measurement result.

[0062] In one embodiment, the indication information occupies 1 bit and is used to indicate whether the measurement results of the measurement targets corresponding to the threshold information all meet the corresponding threshold information.

[0063] In this embodiment, when the value of the indication information is the first value (such as 1), it means that the measurement results of all measurement targets configured with the threshold information all meet the corresponding threshold information. When the value of the indication information is the second value (such as 0), it means that the measurement results of all measurement targets configured with the threshold information do not all meet the corresponding threshold information. In this embodiment, the number of bits occupied by the indication information is small, which can better save network resources.

[0064] Alternatively, the number of bits occupied by the indication information is the same as the number of measurement targets corresponding to the threshold information, and each bit of the indication information is used to indicate whether the measurement result of one measurement target corresponding to the threshold information meets the corresponding threshold information.

[0065] In this embodiment, one measurement target configured with the threshold information corresponds to 1 bit of indication information. When the value of the indication information of this measurement target is the first value (such as 1), it means that the measurement result of this measurement target meets the corresponding threshold information. When the value of the indication information is the second value (such as 0), it means that the measurement result of this measurement target does not all meet the corresponding threshold information. Compared with the previous embodiment, the number of bits occupied by the indication information in this embodiment may be more and the amount of information is larger.

[0066] Alternatively, the number of bits occupied by the indication information is the same as the number of all threshold information corresponding to all measurement targets, that is, the indication information corresponding to one threshold information of one measurement target occupies 1 bit. When the value of the indication information is the first value (such as 1), it means that the measurement result meets one corresponding threshold information. When the value of the indication information is the second value (such as 0), it means that the measurement result does not meet one corresponding threshold information. The indication information reported in this embodiment is relatively detailed.

[0067] In one embodiment, the Msg1 or Msg3 includes one of the following: a random access request message, an RRC connection establishment request message, an RRC connection resume request message, and an RRC connection reestablishment request message.

[0068] In this embodiment, Msg1 or Msg3 can be the first step in the random access process, such as a random access request message. Msg3 can be the third step in the random access process. Msg1 or Msg3 can also be RRC signaling that occurs during processes such as RRC connection establishment, RRC connection resume, and RRC connection reestablishment. The base station can obtain indication information in the above-mentioned multiple processes and obtain it in a relatively timely manner.

[0069] In one embodiment, when the Msg1 or Msg3 is a random access request message, the indication information includes a preamble and / or the time-frequency resource when the preamble is sent.

[0070] In this embodiment, when obtaining indication information during the random access process, the preamble and / or the time-frequency resource when the preamble is sent can be used as the indication information, reducing the network resources occupied by the indication information alone.

[0071] For example, the indication information is used to indicate whether the measurement results of the measurement targets corresponding to the threshold information all meet the corresponding threshold information. Then, the indication information has two values, and the preambles can be divided into two groups. The first group of preambles corresponds to the first value of the indication information, and the second group of preambles corresponds to the second value of the indication information. When the measurement results of the measurement targets corresponding to the threshold information all meet the corresponding threshold information, a preamble is randomly selected from the first group of preambles for this random access request. When the measurement results of the measurement targets corresponding to the threshold information do not fully meet the corresponding threshold information, a preamble is randomly selected from the second group of preambles for this random access request. The base station can determine the corresponding value of the indication information according to the group where the received preamble is located. Similarly, the time-frequency resources when the preamble is sent can also be divided into two groups, and the base station can determine the corresponding value of the indication information according to the time-frequency resource where the received preamble is located.

[0072] Another example is that the number of bits occupied by the indication information is the same as the number of measurement targets corresponding to the threshold information, and each bit of the indication information is used to indicate whether the measurement result of a measurement target corresponding to the threshold information meets the corresponding threshold information. For example, there are 2 measurement targets, corresponding to 2 pieces of indication information, and there are a total of 4 values. Then the preambles can be divided into 4 groups, and the base station can determine the corresponding value of the indication information according to the group where the received preamble is located.

[0073] Alternatively, divide the time-frequency resources at the time of preamble transmission into 4 groups. The base station can determine the corresponding value of the indication information according to the time-frequency resources where the received preamble is located.

[0074] Alternatively, divide the preamble and the time-frequency resources at the time of preamble transmission into 2 groups each, and there are 4 combinations when the two are combined. For example, the first group of preambles is combined with the first group of time-frequency resources, the first group of preambles is combined with the second group of time-frequency resources, the second group of preambles is combined with the first group of time-frequency resources, and the second group of preambles is combined with the second group of time-frequency resources. The base station can determine the corresponding value of the indication information according to the received preamble and the time-frequency resources where the preamble is located at the time of transmission.

[0075] Of course, a new field can be added to the random access request message to be used to transmit the indication information. Alternatively, the indication information occupies an existing reserved field or a reserved value of an existing field in the random access request message.

[0076] In one embodiment, when the Msg1 or Msg3 is an RRC connection establishment request message, an RRC connection resume request message, or an RRC connection reestablishment request message, the indication information occupies a new field, an existing reserved field, or a reserved value of an existing field in the message.

[0077] In this embodiment, a new field can be added to the RRC signaling to be used to transmit the indication information. Alternatively, an existing reserved field in the RRC signaling is used to transmit the indication information. Alternatively, the reserved value of an existing field in the RRC signaling is used as the value of the indication information. For example, a certain field has 5 values, and currently 3 of the values are used in the RRC signaling, and the other two values are reserved values. Then these two reserved values can be used as the values of the indication information to indicate whether the measurement results of the measurement targets corresponding to the threshold information all meet the corresponding threshold information.

[0078] In one embodiment, the method further includes: step B.

[0079] In step B, receive a UE capability information reporting message sent by the UE. The UE capability information reporting message includes UE capability information, which is used to indicate whether the UE supports carrying the indication information in Msg1 or Msg3.

[0080] In this embodiment, the base station can determine whether the UE supports carrying the indication information in Msg1 or Msg3 by receiving the UE capability information reporting message. The UE can actively report the UE capability information reporting message, or the base station can instruct the UE to report the UE capability information reporting message. After the base station knows that the UE supports reporting the indication information, it can configure the threshold information for the UE. If most of the UEs covered by the base station support reporting the indication information, the base station can configure the threshold information through the system message. If a small number of UEs covered by the base station support reporting the indication information, the base station can configure the threshold information through the RRC connection release message.

[0081] In one embodiment, the method further includes: step C.

[0082] In step C, a configuration message for dual connectivity (DC) and / or carrier aggregation (CA) is sent to the UE, and the configuration message includes: an RRC connection establishment message, an RRC connection resume message, or an RRC connection reestablishment message.

[0083] In this embodiment, after obtaining the indication information, the base station can configure DC and / or CA (i.e., DC / CA) for the UE. The DC / CA configuration information can be sent through an RRC connection establishment message, an RRC connection resume message, or an RRC connection reestablishment message. Among them, the RRC connection establishment message can be message 4 (Msg4) in the random access process, so the base station can complete the DC / CA configuration in the random access process, the RRC connection establishment process, the RRC connection resume process, and the RRC connection reestablishment process.

[0084] In one embodiment, the measurement target includes: a measurement frequency point and / or a cell.

[0085] In this embodiment, the measurement target can be a measurement frequency point or a cell. The base station can be flexibly configured according to actual requirements.

[0086] The implementation process on the base station side is introduced in detail through embodiments below.

[0087] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a method for transmitting measurement-related information, and this method for transmitting measurement-related information is used for access network devices such as base stations. As Figure 2 shown, the method includes the following steps 201-204.

[0088] In step 201, a measurement configuration message is generated, and the measurement configuration message includes a measurement target and threshold information. In step 202, the measurement configuration message is sent to the UE.

[0089] In step 203, receive Msg1 or Msg3 sent by the UE, where the Msg1 or Msg3 includes indication information for indicating whether the measurement result of the measurement target corresponding to the threshold information meets the corresponding threshold information.

[0090] In step 204, send a configuration message for dual connectivity (DC) and / or carrier aggregation (CA) to the UE, where the configuration message includes: an RRC connection establishment message, an RRC connection resume message, or an RRC connection reestablishment message.

[0091] The above describes the implementation process on the base station side. Correspondingly, there are also improvements on the UE side. The following describes the implementation process on the UE side.

[0092] Figure 3 is a flowchart of a method for transmitting measurement-related information according to an exemplary embodiment. The method for transmitting measurement-related information is used for a user equipment, where the user equipment may be a mobile phone, a computer, a digital broadcast terminal, a messaging device, a game console, a tablet device, a medical device, a fitness device, a personal digital assistant, etc. As Figure 3 shown, the method includes the following steps 301-304.

[0093] In step 301, receive a measurement configuration message sent by the base station, where the measurement configuration message includes a measurement target and threshold information.

[0094] In step 302, obtain the measurement result corresponding to the measurement target.

[0095] In step 303, determine whether the measurement result of the measurement target corresponding to the threshold information meets the corresponding threshold information, and determine indication information according to the determination result.

[0096] In step 304, send Message 1 (Msg1) or Message 3 (Msg3) to the base station, where the Msg1 or Msg3 includes the indication information.

[0097] In this embodiment, the UE can receive and recognize a measurement configuration message carrying threshold information, and perform a judgment between the measurement result and the threshold information, thereby obtaining indication information. The UE can actively report the indication information to the base station through Msg1 or Msg3, so that the base station can perform subsequent configurations, such as configurations regarding DC / CA, in a relatively timely manner.

[0098] After obtaining the threshold information, the UE can repeat step 302, that is, repeat the measurement of the measurement target. When it is necessary to send Msg1 or Msg3, report the indication information to the base station. Before receiving a new measurement configuration message, the UE can always use the measurement target and threshold information configured most recently.

[0099] In one embodiment, when there are multiple measurement targets, the threshold information includes the threshold information corresponding to at least some of the measurement targets.

[0100] In this embodiment, the measurement configuration message may carry one or more measurement targets. One or more measurement targets may correspond to a set of threshold information. The threshold information of different sets may be the same or different. When there are multiple measurement targets, the threshold information includes the threshold information corresponding to at least some of the measurement targets. That is, the number of measurement targets carried in the measurement configuration message is greater than or equal to the number of sets of threshold information carried in the measurement configuration message. The UE measures according to the measurement targets indicated by the measurement configuration message, and makes corresponding judgments and obtains indication information according to the threshold information indicated by the measurement configuration message.

[0101] In one embodiment, the measurement configuration message includes an RRC (Radio Resource Control) connection release message or a system message.

[0102] In this embodiment, the UE can obtain measurement targets and threshold information through an RRC connection release message or a system message. There are various ways to obtain measurement targets and threshold information, which facilitates the UE to obtain measurement targets and threshold information in a relatively timely manner.

[0103] In one embodiment, the threshold information includes at least one of the following: the RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power) threshold information of the SSB (SS / PBCH BLOCK, Synchronization Broadcast Block), the RSRQ (Reference Signal Receiving Quality) threshold information of the SSB, the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) threshold information of the SSB, the RSRP threshold information of the CSI (Channel State Information), the RSRQ threshold information of the CSI, and the RSSI threshold information of the CSI.

[0104] This embodiment provides various threshold information, and the UE can support the configuration of various threshold information and the judgment of measurement results, which facilitates the flexible configuration of the base station.

[0105] In one embodiment, the indication information occupies 1 bit and is used to indicate whether the measurement results of the measurement targets corresponding to the threshold information all meet the corresponding threshold information.

[0106] In this embodiment, when the value of the indication information is the first value (e.g., 1), it means that the measurement results of all measurement targets configured with threshold information all meet the corresponding threshold information. When the value of the indication information is the second value (e.g., 0), it means that the measurement results of all measurement targets configured with threshold information do not all meet the corresponding threshold information. In this embodiment, the number of bits occupied by the indication information is small, which can better save network resources.

[0107] Alternatively, the number of bits occupied by the indication information is the same as the number of measurement targets corresponding to the threshold information, and each bit of the indication information is used to indicate whether the measurement result of a measurement target corresponding to the threshold information meets the corresponding threshold information.

[0108] In this embodiment, one measurement target configured with threshold information corresponds to 1 bit of indication information. When the value of the indication information of this measurement target is the first value (e.g., 1), it means that the measurement results of this measurement target all meet the corresponding threshold information. When the value of the indication information is the second value (e.g., 0), it means that the measurement results of this measurement target do not all meet the corresponding threshold information. Compared with the previous embodiment, the number of bits occupied by the indication information in this embodiment may be more and the amount of information is larger.

[0109] Alternatively, the number of bits occupied by the indication information is the same as the number of all threshold information corresponding to all measurement targets, that is, the indication information corresponding to one threshold information corresponding to one measurement target occupies 1 bit. When the value of the indication information is the first value (e.g., 1), it means that the measurement result meets a corresponding threshold information. When the value of the indication information is the second value (e.g., 0), it means that the measurement result does not meet a corresponding threshold information. The indication information reported in this embodiment is more detailed.

[0110] In one embodiment, the Msg1 or Msg3 includes one of the following: a random access request message, an RRC connection establishment request message, an RRC connection resume request message, and an RRC connection reestablishment request message.

[0111] In this embodiment, Msg1 or Msg3 may be the first step in the random access process, such as a random access request message. Msg3 may be the third step in the random access process. Msg1 or Msg3 may also be an RRC signaling, which occurs during processes such as RRC connection establishment, RRC connection resume, and RRC connection reestablishment. The UE can report the indication information during the above multiple processes, and can report the indication information more timely.

[0112] In one embodiment, when the Msg1 or Msg3 is a random access request message, the indication information includes a preamble and / or the time-frequency resource when the preamble is sent.

[0113] In this embodiment, when indication information is obtained during the random access process, the preamble and / or the time-frequency resource at the time of sending the preamble can be used as the indication information, reducing the network resources separately occupied by the indication information.

[0114] For example, the indication information is used to indicate whether the measurement results of the measurement targets corresponding to the threshold information all meet the corresponding threshold information. Then, the indication information has two values, and the preambles can be divided into two groups. The first group of preambles corresponds to the first value of the indication information, and the second group of preambles corresponds to the second value of the indication information. When the measurement results of the measurement targets corresponding to the threshold information all meet the corresponding threshold information, a preamble is randomly selected from the first group of preambles and applied to this random access request. When the measurement results of the measurement targets corresponding to the threshold information do not completely meet the corresponding threshold information, a preamble is randomly selected from the second group of preambles and applied to this random access request. The base station can determine the corresponding value of the indication information according to the group where the received preamble is located. Similarly, the time-frequency resources at the time of sending the preamble can also be divided into two groups, and the base station can determine the corresponding value of the indication information according to the time-frequency resources where the received preamble is located.

[0115] Another example is that the number of bits occupied by the indication information is the same as the number of measurement targets corresponding to the threshold information, and each bit of the indication information is used to indicate whether the measurement result of a measurement target corresponding to the threshold information meets the corresponding threshold information. For example, there are 2 measurement targets, corresponding to 2 indication information, and there are a total of 4 values. Then the preambles can be divided into 4 groups, and the base station can determine the corresponding value of the indication information according to the group where the received preamble is located.

[0116] Or, the time-frequency resources at the time of sending the preamble are divided into 4 groups, and the base station can determine the corresponding value of the indication information according to the time-frequency resources where the received preamble is located.

[0117] Or, the preamble and the time-frequency resources at the time of sending the preamble are each divided into 2 groups, and there are 4 combinations when combined. Such as the combination of the first group of preambles and the first group of time-frequency resources, the combination of the first group of preambles and the second group of time-frequency resources, the combination of the second group of preambles and the first group of time-frequency resources, and the combination of the second group of preambles and the second group of time-frequency resources. The base station can determine the corresponding value of the indication information according to the received preamble and the time-frequency resources where the preamble is located at the time of sending.

[0118] Of course, a new field can be added to the random access request message to be used for transmitting the indication information. Or, the indication information occupies the existing reserved field or the reserved value of the existing field in the random access request message.

[0119] In one embodiment, when the Msg1 or Msg3 is an RRC connection establishment request message, an RRC connection resume request message, or an RRC connection reestablishment request message, the indication information occupies a new field in the message, an existing reserved field, or a reserved value of an existing field.

[0120] In this embodiment, a new field may be added to the RRC signaling to transmit the indication information. Alternatively, an existing reserved field in the RRC signaling may be used to transmit the indication information. Alternatively, the reserved value of an existing field in the RRC signaling may be used as the value of the indication information. For example, a certain field has five values, and currently three of them are used in the RRC signaling, and the other two are reserved values. Then these two reserved values may be used as the values of the indication information to indicate whether the measurement results of the measurement targets corresponding to the threshold information all meet the corresponding threshold information.

[0121] In one embodiment, the method further includes: step D.

[0122] In step D, a UE capability information reporting message is sent to the base station, and the UE capability information reporting message includes UE capability information for indicating whether the UE supports carrying the indication information in the Msg1 or Msg3.

[0123] In this embodiment, the UE may notify the base station whether the UE supports carrying the indication information in the Msg1 or Msg3 by sending a UE capability information reporting message. The UE may actively report the UE capability information reporting message, or the base station may instruct the UE to report the UE capability information reporting message. After knowing that the UE supports reporting the indication information, the base station may configure the threshold information for the UE. If most of the UEs covered by the base station support reporting the indication information, then the base station may configure the threshold information through a system message. If a small number of UEs covered by the base station support reporting the indication information, then the base station may configure the threshold information through an RRC connection release message.

[0124] In one embodiment, the method further includes: step E.

[0125] In step E, a configuration message for dual connectivity DC and / or carrier aggregation CA sent by the base station is received, and the configuration message includes: an RRC connection establishment message, an RRC connection resume message, or an RRC connection reestablishment message.

[0126] In this embodiment, after the UE reports the indication information, it can obtain the DC and / or CA (i.e., DC / CA) configured by the base station for the UE. The DC / CA configuration information can be obtained through the RRC connection establishment message, the RRC connection resume message, or the RRC connection reconstruction message. Among them, the RRC connection establishment message can be Message 4 (Msg4) in the random access process. Therefore, the UE can obtain the DC / CA configuration during the random access process, the RRC connection establishment process, the RRC connection resume process, and the RRC connection reconstruction process.

[0127] In one embodiment, the method further includes: step F.

[0128] In step F, when reselecting to a new cell, or leaving the original cell and not returning to the original cell when a preset duration is reached, release the measurement target and the threshold information.

[0129] In this embodiment, when the UE reselects to a new cell, it can release the measurement target and the corresponding threshold information regarding the original cell in order to obtain the measurement target and the corresponding threshold information regarding the new cell. Or, after the UE leaves the original cell, it may reselect or handover to a new cell. Instead of immediately releasing the measurement target and the corresponding threshold information regarding the original cell, it releases the measurement target and the corresponding threshold information regarding the original cell after not returning to the original cell within a preset duration, reducing the frequent acquisition and release of the measurement target and the corresponding threshold information caused by the UE changing cells back and forth.

[0130] In one embodiment, the measurement target includes: a measurement frequency point and / or a cell.

[0131] In this embodiment, the measurement target can be a measurement frequency point or a cell. The base station can be flexibly configured according to actual requirements.

[0136] In step 403, it is determined whether the measurement result of the measurement target corresponding to the threshold information meets the corresponding threshold information, and indication information is determined according to the determination result.

[0137] In step 404, a message 1 (Msg1) or a message 3 (Msg3) is sent to the base station, and the Msg1 or Msg3 includes the indication information.

[0138] In step 405, a configuration message of DC and / or CA sent by the base station is received, and the configuration message includes: an RRC connection establishment message, an RRC connection recovery message, or an RRC connection reestablishment message.

[0139] In step 406, when reselection to a new cell occurs, or when leaving the original cell and not returning to the original cell within a preset duration, the measurement target and the threshold information are released.

[0145] In step 505, the UE sends Msg1 or Msg3 to the base station, and the Msg1 or Msg3 includes the indication information.
