Processing method, communication device and storage medium

Abstract

According to the technical scheme provided by the invention, the evaluation of the execution condition of the CPC candidate primary and secondary cells is determined in response to the fact that the preset condition is met, so that the terminal equipment does not need to carry out neighbor cell measurement when the terminal equipment does not need to carry out evaluation of the execution condition of the CPC candidate primary and secondary cells, and the energy consumption of the terminal equipment is reduced; and / or, the influence of starting the measurement interval by the terminal equipment under the unnecessary condition on the terminal service is reduced.

Description

Processing method, communication device and storage medium Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a processing method, communication equipment, and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] The existing CPC (Conditional PSCell Change) process specifies that the user equipment (UE) executes the conditional evaluation process after receiving the conditional configuration, and stops the conditional evaluation process when performing a handover. For UEs that support continuous or subsequent CPC, if a candidate PSCell (Primary SCG Cell) meets the CPC execution conditions, the UE performs CPC on that PSCell, switches to that PSCell, and applies the candidate PSCell conditional configuration. If the CPC execution conditions are successfully executed, the UE continues to evaluate the CPC execution conditions of other candidate cells.

[0003] In the process of conceiving and implementing this application, the inventors found that there are at least the following problems: for the UE that has just performed CPC switching, the current PSCell signal condition may be good enough, and immediately performing candidate PSCell condition evaluation to perform neighboring cell measurement may cause unnecessary energy consumption. In addition, when performing condition evaluation on certain candidate PSCells (such as heterofrequency cells), it is necessary to configure the measurement GAP (gap), which means that from the time the UE switches to a certain PSCell to the time when a candidate PSCell meets the conditions to perform the next CPC, the UE needs to start measuring the GAP to perform condition evaluation. The interval between the two CPC executions may be long, and the measurement GAP during this period has a greater impact on the terminal service. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a solution to reduce terminal energy consumption and / or reduce the impact on terminal services.

[0004] The preceding description is intended to provide general background information and does not necessarily constitute prior art. Technical Solutions

[0085] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a mobile terminal for implementing various embodiments of the present application. The mobile terminal 100 may include components such as an RF (Radio Frequency) unit 101, a WiFi module 102, an audio output unit 103, an A / V (Audio / Video) input unit 104, a sensor 105, a display unit 106, a user input unit 107, an interface unit 108, a memory 109, a processor 110, and a power supply 111. Those skilled in the art will understand that the mobile terminal structure shown in Figure 1 does not limit the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal may include more or fewer components than shown, or may combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.

[0086] The following is a detailed introduction to the various components of the mobile terminal in conjunction with Figure 1:

[0087] The RF unit 101 can be used to send and receive information or receive signals during calls. Specifically, it receives downlink information from the base station and transmits it to the processor 110 for processing. It also transmits uplink data to the base station. Typically, the RF unit 101 includes, but is not limited to, an antenna, at least one amplifier, a transceiver, a coupler, a low-noise amplifier, a duplexer, and / or other components. Furthermore, the RF unit 101 can communicate with the network and other devices via wireless communication. The above-mentioned wireless communication may use any communication standard or protocol, including but not limited to GSM (Global System of Mobile communication), GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), CDMA2000 (Code Division Multiple Access 2000), WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access), FDD-LTE (Frequency Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution), TDD-LTE (Time Division Duplexing-Long Term Evolution), 5G and 6G, etc.

[0088] WiFi is a short-range wireless transmission technology. A mobile terminal, through WiFi module 102, enables users to send and receive emails, browse web pages, and access streaming media, providing wireless broadband Internet access. Although FIG1 illustrates WiFi module 102, it is understood that it is not a required component of the mobile terminal and can be omitted as needed without altering the essence of the invention.

[0089] The audio output unit 103 can convert audio data received by the RF unit 101 or the WiFi module 102 or stored in the memory 109 into an audio signal and output it as sound when the mobile terminal 100 is in a call signal reception mode, a talk mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, or the like. Furthermore, the audio output unit 103 can also provide audio output related to a specific function performed by the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., a call signal reception sound, a message reception sound, etc.). The audio output unit 103 may include a speaker, a buzzer, or the like.

[0090] The A / V input unit 104 is used to receive audio or video signals. The A / V input unit 104 may include a graphics processing unit (GPU) 1041 and a microphone 1042. The GPU 1041 processes image data of still images or videos captured by an image capture device (e.g., a camera) in video capture mode or image capture mode. The processed image frames may be displayed on the display unit 106. The image frames processed by the GPU 1041 may be stored in the memory 109 (or other storage medium) or transmitted via the RF unit 101 or the WiFi module 102. The microphone 1042 may receive sound (audio data) in operating modes such as a phone call mode, a recording mode, and a voice recognition mode, and may process such sound into audio data. In the phone call mode, the processed audio (voice) data may be converted into a format that can be transmitted to a mobile communication base station via the RF unit 101. The microphone 1042 may implement various types of noise cancellation (or suppression) algorithms to eliminate (or suppress) noise or interference generated during the reception and transmission of audio signals.

[0091] The mobile terminal 100 also includes at least one sensor 105, such as a light sensor, a motion sensor, and other sensors.

Optionally, the ambient light sensor can adjust the brightness of the display panel 1061 according to the brightness of the ambient light, and the proximity sensor can turn off the display panel 1061 and / or the backlight when the mobile terminal 100 is moved to the ear. As a type of motion sensor, the accelerometer sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in all directions (generally three axes), and can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary. It can be used for applications that recognize the posture of the mobile phone (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related games, magnetometer posture calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer, tapping), etc.; as for other sensors that can be configured in the mobile phone, such as fingerprint sensors, pressure sensors, iris sensors, molecular sensors, gyroscopes, barometers, hygrometers, thermometers, infrared sensors, etc., they will not be described here.

Optionally, the user input unit 107 may include a touch panel 1071 and other input devices 1072. The touch panel 1071, also known as a touch screen, can collect user touch operations on or near it (such as operations performed by the user using a finger, stylus, or any other suitable object or accessory on or near the touch panel 1071) and drive corresponding connected devices according to a pre-set program. The touch panel 1071 may include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. Optionally, the touch detection device detects the user's touch direction and detects the signal generated by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives the touch information from the touch detection device and converts it into touch point coordinates, which are then sent to the processor 110. It can also receive and execute commands sent by the processor 110. And / or, the touch panel 1071 can be implemented using various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave. In addition to the touch panel 1071, the user input unit 107 may further include other input devices 1072.

[0116] S2: In response to a preset condition being met, determining to perform conditional evaluation on CPC candidate primary and secondary cells.

[0117] In an embodiment of the present application, for scenarios that support continuous or subsequent conditional primary and secondary cell switching, after executing CPC (Conditional PSCell Change), the terminal device determines whether to start or not to start or stop evaluating the execution conditions of CPC candidate primary and secondary cells based on the preset conditions triggered, so as to avoid immediately performing conditional evaluation on candidate primary and secondary cells when it is unnecessary.

[0118] Optionally, the preset condition includes a first preset condition and / or a second preset condition;

[0119] Optionally, when the first preset condition is met, the terminal device initiates the evaluation of the execution conditions of the CPC candidate primary and secondary cells.

[0120] Optionally, when the second preset condition is met, the terminal device does not start or stop evaluating the execution conditions of the CPC candidate primary and secondary cells.

[0121] Optionally, when the signal condition of the current PSCell (Primary SCG Cell) is lower than a certain threshold, condition evaluation of CPCs of other candidate PSCells may be started.

[0122] Optionally, when the signal condition of the current PSCell is higher than a certain threshold, CPC condition evaluation of other candidate PSCells is not started; if CPC condition evaluation of other candidate PSCells has been started, the evaluation is stopped.

[0123] Optionally, the configuration method of the execution condition includes at least one of the following:

[0124] Configured by the current primary cell;

[0125] Configured by the current primary and secondary cells;

[0126] It is configured by at least one CPC candidate primary and secondary cell.

[0127] Optionally, at least one of the following is also included:

[0128] The current primary cell is the primary cell when configuring CPC candidate primary and secondary cells;

[0129] The current primary and secondary cells are the primary and secondary cells when configuring CPC candidate primary and secondary cells;

[0130] If configured by at least one CPC candidate primary and secondary cell, the execution condition applies to other candidate primary and secondary cells;

[0131] The CPC candidate primary and secondary cells are candidate primary and secondary cells for which measurement gaps are to be configured;

[0132] The CPC candidate primary and secondary cells include the current primary and secondary cells.

[0133] Optionally, the condition is configured in at least one of the following ways:

[0134] Configured by the current PCell (Primary Cell). Optionally, the current PCell is the PCell when configuring the CPC candidate PSCell.

[0135] Configured by the current PSCell. Optionally, the current PSCell is the PSCell used when configuring the CPC candidate PSCell.

[0136] At least one CPC candidate PSCell configures other candidate PSCells.

[0137] Optionally, a start or stop condition for CPC execution condition evaluation may be added when configuring the candidate PSCell.

[0138] Optionally, a start, stop, or inactivation condition for CPC execution condition evaluation may be added to the condition configuration of at least one candidate PSCell.

[0139] Optionally, the configured start or stop condition may be associated with a certain measurement configuration (such as A1, A2) or a start or stop threshold may be directly set.

[0140] Optionally, considering that the impact of intra-frequency measurement is slightly smaller, the start, non-start or stop conditions for executing condition evaluation can be configured only for candidate PSCell scenarios (general inter-frequency scenarios) that require configuration of measurement gaps (GAPs) for terminal devices.

[0141] Optionally, a start or stop condition for CPC execution condition evaluation may be added when configuring a candidate PSCell.

[0142] Optionally, a start or stop condition for CPC execution condition evaluation may be added to the condition configuration of at least one candidate PSCell.

[0143] Optionally, when the signal of the terminal device is getting better or changing little relative to the signal when it is switched in, the condition evaluation is not started; and / or, when the signal of the terminal device is getting worse relative to the signal when it is switched in, the condition evaluation is started. For example, when the signal quality of the terminal device's serving cell is continuously better than the signal quality when it is just switched to the cell (such as RSRP current-RSRP_init>=0), the condition evaluation is not started; and / or, when the signal quality of the terminal device's serving cell is continuously worse than the signal quality when it is just switched to the cell, the condition evaluation is started; when the signal quality of the terminal device's serving cell varies within a range less than a certain threshold relative to the signal quality when it is just switched to the cell (such as |RSRP_current>=RSRP_init|<=threshold), the condition evaluation is not started; and / or, when the signal quality of the terminal device's serving cell varies within a range greater than a certain threshold relative to the signal quality when it is just switched to the cell, the condition evaluation is started.

[0144] This embodiment adopts the above-mentioned scheme, specifically by determining the evaluation of the execution conditions of the CPC candidate primary and secondary cells in response to the satisfaction of the preset conditions, so that the terminal device does not need to perform the candidate cell condition evaluation to perform neighboring cell measurement when it is not necessary to evaluate the execution conditions of the CPC candidate primary and secondary cells, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the terminal device; and / or reducing the impact of the terminal device starting to measure GAP when it is unnecessary on the terminal service.
