Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of communication technologies, and particularly relates to a conditional reconfiguration evaluation method, a configuration method, a device terminal, and a network-side device. Background Art

[0002] Conditional Primary Secondary Cell Addition / Change (CPAC) includes: Conditional PSCell Addition (CPA) or Conditional PSCell Change (CPC).

[0003] Conditional PSCell Addition is the addition of a primary secondary cell that a User Equipment (UE) evaluates the execution conditions and executes after the execution conditions are met. The CPA configuration includes the configuration of CPA candidate cells and the execution conditions. The execution conditions may include one or two trigger conditions.

[0004] Conditional PSCell Change is the change of a primary secondary cell that a UE evaluates the execution conditions and executes after the execution conditions are met. The UE starts to evaluate the execution conditions after receiving the CPC configuration. The UE stops evaluating the execution conditions after the primary secondary cell change is triggered. The CPC configuration includes the configuration of CPC candidate cells and the execution conditions. The execution conditions may include one or two trigger conditions. Once the primary secondary cell change process is successfully completed, the UE releases all stored CPC configurations.

[0005] CPC includes multiple scenarios, such as:

[0006] - Intra-SN CPC (Intra-SN Conditional PSCell Change);

[0007] - MN initiated Inter-SN CPC (MN initiated Inter-SN Conditional PSCell Change);

[0008] - SN initiated Inter-SN CPC (SN initiated Inter-SN Conditional PSCell Change).

[0009] The network configures CPAC to support the UE to perform continuous CPAC processes. During continuous CPAC processes, no reconfiguration of the network is required.

[0010] During continuous CPAC processes, if the conditional reconfiguration of candidate cells is retained, then the conditional reconfiguration of each candidate cell may be associated with more than one execution condition. However, there is no regulation on how to use suitable execution conditions in conditional reconfiguration evaluation, resulting in the problem of confusing use of execution conditions.

[0072] Next, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the condition reconfiguration evaluation method and configuration method provided in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0073] As Figure 2 shown, the embodiments of the present application provide a condition reconfiguration evaluation method, including:

[0074] Step 201, when the condition reconfiguration identifier (condReconfigId) is associated with the first execution condition and the second execution condition, the terminal determines a condition reconfiguration evaluation operation according to the first condition or the second condition;

[0075] Among them, when the first condition is satisfied, the condition reconfiguration evaluation operation includes at least one of the following:

[0076] Evaluating the first execution condition;

[0077] Considering the measurement identifier (MeasID) indicated by the first execution condition as an applicable measurement identifier;

[0078] Considering the measurement identifier (MeasID) indicated by the second execution condition as an inapplicable measurement identifier;

[0079] Ignoring the second execution condition;

[0080] Alternatively, when the second condition is satisfied, the condition reconfiguration evaluation operation includes at least one of the following:

[0081] Evaluating the second execution condition;

[0082] Considering the measurement identity (MeasID) indicated by the second execution condition as an applicable measurement identity;

[0083] Considering the measurement identity (MeasID) indicated by the first execution condition as an inapplicable measurement identity;

[0084] Ignoring the first execution condition.

[0085] It should be noted that condition reconfiguration identities with the same value are the same condition reconfiguration identity, and the condition reconfiguration identity appears in two positions:

[0086] Position 1: The condition reconfiguration identity included in the condition reconfiguration entry of the candidate cell.

[0087] Position 2: The condition reconfiguration identity in the consecutive condition reconfigurations included in the condition reconfiguration entries corresponding to other candidate cells.

[0088] Optionally, the condition reconfiguration identity in step 201 of this application is the condition reconfiguration identity included in the condition reconfiguration entry of the candidate cell, that is, the condition reconfiguration identity in the above position 1.

[0089] Alternatively, this application does not limit the position of the condition reconfiguration identity in step 201, and the condition reconfiguration identity is only calibrated by a value. That is, regardless of the position, the same value is the same condition reconfiguration identity.

[0090] In one implementation, "consider" mentioned in the embodiments of this application can also be understood as "determine", "expect", "judge", etc., without specific limitation.

[0091] In an alternative embodiment of this application, the first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0092] The terminal is in the conditional primary and secondary cell addition CPA process;

[0093] The terminal is in the master node initiated inter-SNCPC (MN initiated inter-SNCPC) process;

[0094] The terminal is in the initial conditional primary and secondary cell addition or change CPAC process;

[0095] The subsequent conditional reconfiguration (subsequentCondReconfig) has not been applied;

[0096] The continuous CPAC process has not started;

[0097] The secondary cell group (SCG) is released;

[0098] The SCG has not been added;

[0099] The terminal is in a single - connected state.

[0100] In another alternative embodiment of the present application, the second condition includes at least one of the following:

[0101] The continuous CPAC process has started, which can also be referred to as during the continuous CPAC process;

[0102] The subsequent condition reconfiguration (subsequentCondReconfig) is applied;

[0103] After the initial CPAC is executed;

[0104] The SCG has been added;

[0105] The terminal is in a dual - connected (DC) state;

[0106] The terminal is in a multi - frequency dual - connected (MR - DC) state.

[0107] In one implementation, before the terminal performs condition reconfiguration evaluation, the terminal receives condition reconfiguration information from the network. The condition reconfiguration information includes a condition reconfiguration identifier (condReconfigId), a first execution condition, a second execution condition, and a subsequent condition reconfiguration.

[0108] Among them, the first execution condition and the second execution condition are used to trigger the execution of the condition reconfiguration after they are satisfied (or, they are the execution conditions for condition switching). The subsequent condition reconfiguration includes at least one condition reconfiguration identifier and an execution condition associated with the condition reconfiguration identifier.

[0109] In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the CPAC process of subsequent condition reconfiguration may include an initial CPAC process and a continuous CPAC process. After the initial CPAC is executed, the continuous CPAC process is entered. Among them, the initial CPAC process is also called the initial CPAC phase. The continuous CPAC process is also called the continuous CPAC phase.

[0110] The initial CPAC includes: SN initiated inter-SN CPC (Secondary Node initiated Conditional Primary and Secondary Cell change between Secondary Nodes), SN initiated intra-SN CPC with MN involvement (Secondary Node initiated Conditional Primary and Secondary Cell change within the Secondary Node with Master Node involvement), CPA (Conditional Primary and Secondary Cell Addition), or MN initiated inter-SN CPC (Master Node initiated Conditional Primary and Secondary Cell change between Secondary Nodes).

[0111] The continuous CPAC includes at least one of the following: SN initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC (Secondary Node initiated subsequent Conditional Primary and Secondary Cell change between Secondary Nodes), SN initiated intra-SN subsequent CPAC with MN involvement (Secondary Node initiated subsequent Conditional Primary and Secondary Cell change within the Secondary Node with Master Node involvement), or MN initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC (Master Node initiated subsequent Conditional Primary and Secondary Cell change between Secondary Nodes).

[0112] In at least one embodiment of the present application, the first execution condition includes at least one of the following:

[0113] Execution condition condExecutionCond;

[0114] Execution condition for CPA;

[0115] Execution condition for Master Node initiated Conditional Primary and Secondary Cell change between Secondary Nodes (MN initiated inter-SN CPC).

[0116] Among them, "Execution condition condExecutionCond" can be understood as: the execution condition that needs to be satisfied to trigger the execution of the following condition reconfigurations, including CHO (Conditional Handover), CPA, intra-SN CPC without MN involvement, MN initiated inter-SN CPC, or SN initiated intra-SN continuous CPAC without MN intervention.

[0117] "Execution condition for CPA" can be understood as: the execution condition that needs to be satisfied in order to trigger the execution of CPA (The execution condition that needs to be fulfilled in order to trigger the execution of a conditional reconfiguration for CPA).

[0118] The "execution condition for MN initiated inter-SN CPC" can be understood as the execution condition that needs to be fulfilled in order to trigger the execution of a conditional reconfiguration for MN initiated inter-SN CPC.

[0119] In another alternative embodiment of the present application, the second execution condition includes at least one of the following:

[0120] SCG execution condition condExecutionCondSCG; for example, condExecutionCondSCG associated with the conditional reconfiguration identifier;

[0121] The execution condition associated with the conditional reconfiguration identifier included in consecutive conditional reconfigurations;

[0122] Subsequent execution condition;

[0123] The execution condition for consecutive CPAC processes.

[0124] Among them, the "SCG execution condition condExecutionCondSCG" can be understood as: the execution condition that needs to be fulfilled in order to trigger the execution of a conditional reconfiguration for SN initiated inter-SN CPC, SN initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC, SN initiated intra-SN subsequent CPAC with MN involvement, or MN initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC.

[0125] Among them, the "subsequent execution condition" can be understood as: the subsequent execution condition is used for conditional reconfiguration evaluation for other candidate cells when the RRCReconfiguration message contained in condRRCReconfig has been applied.

[0126] "Execution conditions for continuous CPAC process" can be understood as: the execution conditions that need to be satisfied in order to trigger the execution of a conditional reconfiguration for SN-initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC, SN-initiated intra-SN subsequent CPAC with MN involvement, or MN-initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC.

[0127] In one implementation, the first execution condition and the second execution condition are included in the master cell group (MCG) conditional reconfiguration information (MCG ConditionalReconfig). The terminal stores the first execution condition and the second execution condition in the master cell group (MCG) conditional reconfiguration variable (MCG VarConditionalReconfig).

[0128] In another implementation, the first execution condition and the second execution condition are configured to be associated with a conditional reconfiguration identifier.

[0129] For example: for each conditional reconfiguration identifier condReconfigId, the network side can configure the first execution condition condExecutionCond and the second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG for continuous CPAC at the same time.

[0130] In at least one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0131] According to the conditional reconfiguration evaluation operation, the terminal executes CPAC;

[0132] After the execution of CPAC or during the continuous CPAC process, the terminal retains the first execution condition of the candidate cell.

[0133] By retaining the first execution condition of each candidate cell in the embodiments of the present application, when CPA is needed to restore the dual connection, as many candidate cells as possible can participate in CPA, improving the conditional handover performance.

[0134] In another alternative embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0135] According to the condition reconfiguration evaluation operation, the terminal executes CPAC;

[0136] After the initial CPAC process is executed, the terminal deletes the first execution condition in the condition reconfiguration corresponding to the current primary and secondary cells.

[0137] By deleting the first execution condition in the condition reconfiguration corresponding to the current primary and secondary cells in the embodiments of the present application, the purpose of releasing the storage space can be achieved, and the confusion caused by the association of multiple execution conditions can be avoided.

[0138] In at least one alternative embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0139] The terminal receives a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message; the RRC reconfiguration message includes a continuous condition reconfiguration;

[0140] The terminal updates the second execution condition associated with the condition reconfiguration identifier according to the continuous execution condition associated with the condition reconfiguration identifier included in the continuous condition reconfiguration.

[0141] For example, the terminal receives an RRC reconfiguration message that includes a continuous CPC configuration. The terminal stores the RRC reconfiguration in a variable VarConditionalReconfig, i.e., MCG VarConditionalReconfig or SCGVarConditionalReconfig.

[0142] For each condition reconfiguration identifier, after the terminal receives the RRC reconfiguration message, the continuous execution condition associated with the condition reconfiguration identifier included in the continuous condition reconfiguration is used to update the condExecutionCondSCG included in CondReconfigToAddMo associated with the condition reconfiguration identifier (i.e., update the second execution condition).

[0143] Wherein, the continuous condition reconfiguration is the continuous condition reconfiguration included in the condition reconfiguration corresponding to the primary and secondary cell (PSCell), i.e., the current primary and secondary cell or serving cell.

[0144] Further, in the continuous CPAC phase, or after applying the continuous condition reconfiguration included in the condition reconfiguration corresponding to the primary and secondary cell (PSCell), the above execution condition update operation is performed.

[0145] Among them, the continuous CPAC phase is relative to the CPAC process including continuous condition reconfiguration. The CPAC process of continuous condition reconfiguration may include an initial CPAC phase and a continuous CPAC phase. After the initial CPAC is executed, it enters the continuous CPAC phase.

[0146] As an optional embodiment, the method further includes:

[0147] The terminal receives a first configuration message, where the first configuration message includes: first indication information indicating whether the continuous CPAC process continues, or second indication information indicating whether to restart CPAC;

[0148] The terminal performs condition reconfiguration evaluation using a first execution condition or a second execution condition according to the first configuration message.

[0149] For example, when the first indication information indicates to continue the continuous CPAC process, or the second indication information indicates not to restart the CPAC process, the terminal performs condition reconfiguration evaluation using the second execution condition;

[0150] Or,

[0151] When the first indication information indicates not to continue the continuous CPAC process, or the second indication information indicates to restart the CPAC process, the terminal performs condition reconfiguration evaluation using the first execution condition.

[0152] In summary, in the embodiments of the present application, different execution conditions are used according to the scenario, and the second execution condition is used for evaluation during the continuous CPAC process; the first execution condition of the initial CPAC initiated by the remaining primary node is used as the CPA configuration and is used after the secondary cell group is released, but the first execution condition cannot be used for the evaluation of the continuous CPAC, avoiding the confusion of the use of multiple execution conditions, and at the same time retaining as many CPAC configurations as possible to improve communication quality.

[0153] As Figure 3 shown, the embodiments of the present application further provide a configuration method, including:

[0154] Step 301, the network-side device configures a first execution condition and a second execution condition to be associated with a condition reconfiguration identifier.

[0155] It should be noted that the same condition reconfiguration identifier is the same value and appears in two positions:

[0156] Position 1: The condition reconfiguration identifier included in the condition reconfiguration entry of the candidate cell.

[0157] Position 2: The condition reconfiguration identifier in the continuous condition reconfiguration included in the condition reconfiguration entries corresponding to other candidate cells.

[0158] Optionally, the condition reconfiguration identifier in step 301 of the present application is the condition reconfiguration identifier included in the condition reconfiguration entry of the candidate cell, that is, the condition reconfiguration identifier in the above position one.

[0159] Alternatively, the present application does not limit the position of the condition reconfiguration identifier in step 301, and the condition reconfiguration identifier is only calibrated by a value. That is, regardless of the position, the same value is the same condition reconfiguration identifier.

[0160] In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the first execution condition includes at least one of the following:

[0161] Execution condition condExecutionCond;

[0162] Execution condition for CPA;

[0163] Execution condition for the primary-secondary cell condition change between secondary nodes initiated by the primary node.

[0164] Among them, "execution condition condExecutionCond" can be understood as: the execution condition that needs to be satisfied to trigger the execution of the following condition reconfiguration, including: CHO (conditional handover), CPA, CPC within the SN without MN participation, CPC between SNs initiated by the MN, or continuous CPAC within the SN initiated by the SN without MN intervention.

[0165] "Execution condition for CPA" can be understood as: the execution condition that needs to be satisfied to trigger the execution of CPA (The execution condition that needs to be fulfilled in order to trigger the execution of a conditional reconfiguration for CPA).

[0166] "Execution condition for the primary-secondary cell condition change (MN initiated inter-SN CPC) between secondary nodes initiated by the primary node" can be understood as: the execution condition that needs to be satisfied to trigger the execution of the conditional reconfiguration for the primary-secondary cell condition change between secondary nodes initiated by the primary node (The execution condition that needs to be fulfilled in order to trigger the execution of a conditional reconfiguration for MN initiated inter-SN CPC).

[0167] In yet another alternative embodiment of the present application, the second execution condition includes at least one of the following:

[0168] SCG execution condition condExecutionCondSCG; for example, condExecutionCondSCG associated with a conditional reconfiguration identifier;

[0169] An execution condition included in consecutive conditional reconfigurations and associated with the conditional reconfiguration identifier;

[0170] Subsequent execution condition;

[0171] An execution condition for a consecutive CPAC process.

[0172] Among them, the "SCG execution condition condExecutionCondSCG" can be understood as: an execution condition that needs to be satisfied to trigger the execution of the following conditional reconfigurations, including SN-initiated inter-SN CPC, SN-initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC, SN-initiated intra-SN subsequent CPAC without MN intervention, or MN-initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC (the execution condition that needs to be fulfilled in order to trigger the execution of a conditional reconfiguration for SN initiated inter-SN CPC, SN initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC, SN initiated intra-SN subsequent CPAC with MN involvement, or MN initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC).

[0173] Among them, the "subsequent execution condition" can be understood as: when the RRC reconfiguration message contained in condRRCReconfig has been applied, the subsequent execution condition is used for conditional reconfiguration evaluation for other candidate cells (The subsequent execution condition is used for conditional reconfiguration evaluation for other candidate cells when the RRCReconfiguration message contained in condRRCReconfig has been applied).

[0174] The "execution condition for the subsequent CPAC process" can be understood as: the execution condition that needs to be satisfied to trigger the execution of a conditional reconfiguration for SN-initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC, SN-initiated intra-SN subsequent CPAC with MN involvement, or MN-initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC (the execution condition that needs to be fulfilled in order to trigger the execution of a conditional reconfiguration for SN-initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC, SN-initiated intra-SN subsequent CPAC with MN involvement, or MN-initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC).

[0175] In one implementation, the method further includes:

[0176] The network-side device configures MCG conditional reconfiguration information (MCG ConditionalReconfig), and the MCG conditional reconfiguration information includes a first execution condition and a second execution condition. The terminal stores the first execution condition and the second execution condition in the master cell group MCG conditional reconfiguration variable (MCG VarConditionalReconfig).

[0177] In at least one alternative embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0178] The network - side device sends a Radio Resource Control (RRC) re - configuration message to the terminal; the RRC re - configuration message includes a continuous condition re - configuration;

[0179] Among them, the continuous execution condition associated with the condition re - configuration identifier in the continuous condition re - configuration is used to update the second execution condition associated with the condition re - configuration identifier.

[0180] For example, the network - side device sends an RRC re - configuration message to the terminal, which includes a continuous CPC configuration. The terminal stores the RRC re - configuration in a variable VarConditionalReconfig, that is, MCG VarConditionalReconfig or SCGVarConditionalReconfig.

[0181] For each condition re - configuration identifier, after the terminal receives the RRC re - configuration message, the continuous execution condition associated with the condition re - configuration identifier included in the continuous condition re - configuration is used to update the condExecutionCondSCG included in CondReconfigToAddMo associated with the condition re - configuration identifier (that is, to update the second execution condition).

[0182] Among them, the continuous condition re - configuration is the continuous condition re - configuration included in the condition re - configuration corresponding to the Primary and Secondary Cell (PSCell) (that is, the current primary and secondary cell or serving cell).

[0183] Further, in the continuous CPAC stage, or after applying the continuous condition re - configuration included in the condition re - configuration corresponding to the Primary and Secondary Cell (PSCell), the above - mentioned execution condition update operation is performed.

[0184] Among them, the continuous CPAC stage is relative to the CPAC process including the continuous condition re - configuration. The CPAC process of the continuous condition re - configuration may include an initial CPAC stage and a continuous CPAC stage. After the initial CPAC is executed, it enters the continuous CPAC stage.

[0185] As an optional embodiment, the method further includes:

[0186] The network - side device sends a first configuration message to the terminal, and the first configuration message includes: a first indication information indicating whether the continuous CPAC process continues, or a second indication information indicating whether to restart CPAC.

[0187] For example, in the case where the first indication information indicates to continue the continuous CPAC process, or the second indication information indicates not to restart the CPAC process, the terminal performs condition re - configuration evaluation using the second execution condition;

[0188] Alternatively,

[0189] In the case where the first indication information indicates not to continue the continuous CPAC process, or the second indication information indicates to restart the CPAC process, the terminal performs conditional reconfiguration evaluation using the first execution condition.

[0190] In summary, in the embodiments of the present application, different execution conditions are used according to the scenario, and the second execution condition is used for evaluation during the continuous CPAC process; the first execution condition of the initial CPAC initiated by the remaining master node is used as the CPA configuration after the secondary cell group is released, but the first execution condition cannot be used for the evaluation of the continuous CPAC, avoiding the confusion of the use of multiple execution conditions, while retaining as many CPAC configurations as possible to improve communication quality.

[0191] To more clearly describe the conditional reconfiguration evaluation method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the following is described in conjunction with two examples.

[0192] Example 1, retaining the conditional configuration available for CPA during the continuous CPAC process, and the initial process is CPA

[0193] 1. The terminal (UE) is in a single-connected state and receives an RRC reconfiguration message, which includes: the MN initiated CPA configuration and the continuous CPC configuration provided by the candidate cell.

[0194] The UE stores the RRC reconfiguration in the variable MCG VarConditionalReconfig.

[0195] Among them, the RRC reconfiguration includes at least one of the following conditional reconfigurations:

[0196] a) The RRC configuration of the candidate cell, including condReconfigId, condRRCReconfig, etc.

[0197] b) The CPA configuration initiated by the master node (MN initiated CPA). It includes the first execution condition, that is, the execution condition of the candidate cell, such as condExecutionCond.

[0198] The first execution condition includes at least one of the following:

[0199] condExecutionCond,

[0200] Or rather, the first execution condition is used to trigger the execution of the conditional reconfiguration after it is satisfied, and the conditional reconfiguration is used for CPA or MN initiated inter-SN CPC.

[0201] c) The continuous CPAC configuration provided by the candidate cell, such as subsequentCondReconfig, includes the continuous CPAC execution conditions for the condition evaluation of other candidate cells when the RRC configuration of this candidate cell is applied (it can be understood that when it is the serving primary / secondary cell), that is, at least one second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG.

[0202] The second execution condition includes at least one of the following:

[0203] condExecutionCondSCG associated with the condition reconfiguration identifier; wherein, the condition reconfiguration identifier corresponds to a candidate cell.

[0204] The second execution condition is used to trigger the execution of the condition reconfiguration after it is satisfied, and the condition reconfiguration is used for SNinitiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC, SN initiated intra-SN subsequent CPAC with MN involvement, or MN initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC.

[0205] For each condition reconfiguration identifier condReconfigId, the network can configure the first execution condition and the second execution condition simultaneously.

[0206] For example: For each condition reconfiguration identifier condReconfigId, the network can configure the first execution condition condExecutionCond and the second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG for continuous CPAC simultaneously.

[0207] Such as configuring candidate cells Cell【1, 2, 3】;

[0208] Among them, candidate cells Cell1, Cell2, and Cell3 are all CPA candidate cells and candidate cells for continuous CPAC.

[0209] Among them,

[0210] The first execution condition of candidate cell Cell1 is condExecutionCond, and the value is measId1;

[0211] The first execution condition of candidate cell Cell2 is condExecutionCond, and the value is measId2;

[0212] The first execution condition for candidate cell Cell3 is condExecutionCond, with a value of measId3;

[0213] After applying the conditional reconfiguration of Cell1, i.e., when the PScell is Cell1:

[0214] The second execution condition for candidate cell Cell2 is condExecutionCondSCG, with a value of measId1-2;

[0215] The second execution condition for candidate cell Cell3 is condExecutionCondSCG, with a value of measId1-3;

[0216] After applying the conditional reconfiguration of Cell2, i.e., when the PScell is Cell2:

[0217] The second execution condition for candidate cell Cell1 is condExecutionCondSCG, with a value of measId2-1;

[0218] The second execution condition for candidate cell Cell3 is condExecutionCondSCG, with a value of measId2-3;

[0219] After applying the conditional reconfiguration of Cell3, i.e., when the PScell is Cell3:

[0220] The second execution condition for candidate cell Cell1 is condExecutionCondSCG, with a value of measId3-1;

[0221] The second execution condition for candidate cell Cell2 is condExecutionCondSCG, with a value of measId3-1;

[0222] The value of the above execution condition, i.e., MeasID, is associated with the MCG measurement configuration or the SCG measurement configuration.

[0223] 2. The UE uses the target execution condition to evaluate each candidate cell, and the target execution condition is the execution condition currently applied to evaluate this candidate cell.

[0224] The target execution condition is the condExecutionCond or condExecutionCondSCG included in CondReconfigToAddMod. That is, fixed parameters are used to indicate the target condition.

[0225] The target execution condition includes at least one of the following:

[0226] The first execution condition, i.e., condExecutionCond. For example, in this embodiment, it is in the CPA evaluation process, and the target execution is used as the first execution condition for each candidate cell. Among them, the candidate cells are Cell1, Cell2, Cell3.

[0227] The second execution condition is condExecutionCondSCG included in CondReconfigToAddMod, or the execution condition associated with the condition reconfiguration identifier included in the continuous condition reconfiguration.

[0228] If condExecutionCondSCG included in CondReconfigToAddMod is adopted, after CPAC occurs, the execution condition associated with the condition reconfiguration identifier included in the continuous condition reconfiguration is used to update condExecutionCondSCG included in CondReconfigToAddMod associated with the condition reconfiguration identifier.

[0229] Among them, the continuous condition reconfiguration is the continuous condition reconfiguration included in the condition reconfiguration corresponding to the primary-secondary cell PSCell (i.e., the current primary-secondary cell or serving cell).

[0230] For the CPAC process including continuous condition reconfiguration:

[0231] In the initial CPAC stage, the first execution condition is adopted. After the initial CPAC is executed, it enters the continuous CPAC stage.

[0232] In the continuous CPAC stage, that is, the continuous condition reconfiguration included in the condition reconfiguration corresponding to the primary-secondary cell PSCell is applied, and the second execution condition is adopted.

[0233] It should be noted that the included continuous condition reconfiguration is not applied in the initial CPAC stage.

[0234] An implementation manner A: A method for selecting an execution condition during the condition reconfiguration evaluation process.

[0235] If both the first execution condition condExecutionCondcond and the second execution condition ExecutionCondSCG are associated with the condition reconfiguration identifier condReconfigId:

[0236] If the continuous condition reconfiguration subsequentCondReconfig is applied, consider the measurement identifier MeasID indicated by the second execution condition as the applicable measurement identifier;

[0237] If the subsequent conditional reconfiguration subsequentCondReconfig is not applied, consider the measurement identity MeasID indicated by the first execution condition as the applicable measurement identity.

[0238] Another implementation B: Clarify the selection of the execution condition in the descriptions of the condExecutionCond and condExecutionCondSCG parameters.

[0239] For each conditional reconfiguration identity condReconfigId, the network can configure the first execution condition condExecutionCond and the second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG for continuous CPAC simultaneously.

[0240] The method for selecting the execution condition includes at least one of the following:

[0241] If the subsequent conditional reconfiguration subsequentCondReconfig is applied, use the second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG for continuous CPAC evaluation;

[0242] If the subsequent conditional reconfiguration subsequentCondReconfig is not applied, use the first execution condition condExecutionCond for conditional reconfiguration evaluation;

[0243] The second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG is used as the continuous execution condition in the conditional reconfiguration evaluation of continuous CPAC.

[0244] 3. After at least one execution condition is satisfied, the UE performs CPA. For example, add the PSCell as Cell1.

[0245] 4. After performing CPA, the UE enters the continuous CPC process. Among them, it includes the evaluation and execution of continuous CPC.

[0246] During the continuous CPC process, the UE uses the target execution condition to evaluate each candidate cell. Among them, the target execution is the second execution condition for each candidate cell. That is, the UE uses the second execution condition to evaluate each candidate cell of the PSCell. The second execution condition is the execution condition associated with the conditional reconfiguration identity of the candidate cell included in the subsequent conditional reconfiguration.

[0247] For example, where the PSCell is Cell1, the candidate cells are the candidate cells Cell2 and Cell3 configured for Cell1.

[0248] The second execution condition for candidate cell Cell2 is condExecutionCondSCG, with a value of measId1-2;

[0249] The second execution condition for candidate cell Cell3 is condExecutionCondSCG, with a value of measId1-3.

[0250] The UE retains the first execution condition of each candidate cell. For example, during or after continuous CPAC process, the CPAC execution condition condExecutionCond of the above MN configuration of each candidate cell is retained.

[0251] The first execution condition for candidate cell Cell1 is condExecutionCond, with a value of measId1;

[0252] The first execution condition for candidate cell Cell2 is condExecutionCond, with a value of measId2;

[0253] The first execution condition for candidate cell Cell3 is condExecutionCond, with a value of measId3.

[0254] By retaining the first execution condition of each candidate cell in the embodiments of the present application, when CPA is needed to restore dual connection, as many candidate cells as possible can participate in CPA, improving the condition switching performance.

[0255] For example: after executing CPA, the UE performs a first operation, including one of the following:

[0256] The UE uses the second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG-r18[measId1-2] of candidate cell 2 to evaluate candidate cell 2.

[0257] The UE uses the second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG-r18[measId1-3] of candidate cell 3 to evaluate candidate cell 3.

[0258] Update the target execution condition of each candidate cell of the PSCell in the MCG VarConditionalReconfig variable to the second execution condition.

[0259] For example, the target execution condition is condExecutionCondSCG included in CondReconfigToAddMod, and the target execution condition is updated using the second execution condition associated with the condition reconfiguration identifier of the candidate cell included in the continuous condition reconfiguration.

[0260] Among them, the continuous condition reconfiguration is the continuous condition reconfiguration included in the condition reconfiguration corresponding to the primary and secondary cell (i.e., the current primary and secondary cell or serving cell).

[0261] In the foregoing process, the first execution conditions of each candidate cell are retained. And the condition reconfiguration variables of the candidate cells may include the first execution condition and the second execution condition at the same time. The embodiment of the present application determines the second condition, such as using the second execution condition in the continuous CPC process, to avoid confusion in the use of multiple execution conditions and ensure communication quality.

[0262] 5. After the evaluation of the continuous CPC, the UE executes the CPC, and the PSCell switches to Cell2. The candidate cells configured for Cell2 are Cell1 and Cell3.

[0263] The target execution condition of each candidate cell of the PSCell is the second execution condition, that is, the continuous CPAC execution condition.

[0264] For example: After executing the CPC, the UE executes the first operation, including one of the following:

[0265] The UE uses the second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG-r18[measId2-1] of the selected cell 1 to evaluate the candidate cell 1.

[0266] The UE uses the second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG-r18[measId2-3] of the selected cell 3 to evaluate the candidate cell 3.

[0267] Update the condExecutionCondSCG in the variable MCG VarConditionalReconfig.

[0268] 6. SCG release.

[0269] 7. The UE performs a CPA evaluation. The candidate cells are Cell1, Cell2, and Cell3.

[0270] The target execution condition of each candidate cell is the first execution condition, that is, the CPA execution condition.

[0271] For example:

[0272] After executing the CPC, the UE executes the first operation, including one of the following:

[0273] The first execution condition of the candidate cell Cell1 is condExecutionCond, and the value is measId1;

[0274] The first execution condition for candidate cell Cell2 is condExecutionCond, and the value is measId2;

[0275] The first execution condition for candidate cell Cell3 is condExecutionCond, and the value is measId3.

[0276] In the foregoing process, the first execution conditions of each candidate cell are retained. And the conditional reconfiguration variables of the candidate cells may include both the first execution condition and the second execution condition at the same time. In the embodiments of the present application, the first condition is determined to use the first execution condition during processes such as the CPA process, avoiding the confusion in the use of multiple execution conditions and ensuring the communication quality.

[0277] Example 2: Retain the condition configurations available for CPA during consecutive CPAC processes. The initial process is CPC initiated by the MN

[0278] 1. The UE is in the dual-connectivity state (MR-DC) and receives an RRC reconfiguration message, which includes: the MN initiated CPC configuration and the consecutive CPC configuration provided by the candidate cell.

[0279] The UE stores the RRC reconfiguration in the variable MCG VarConditionalReconfig.

[0280] Among them, the RRC reconfiguration includes at least one of the following conditional reconfigurations:

[0281] a) The RRC configuration of the candidate cell, including condReconfigId, condRRCReconfig, etc.

[0282] b) The CPC configuration initiated by the master node (MN initiated CPC). It includes the first execution condition, that is, the execution condition of the candidate cell, such as condExecutionCond.

[0283] The first execution condition includes at least one of the following:

[0284] condExecutionCond,

[0285] Or rather, the first execution condition is used to trigger the execution of the conditional reconfiguration after it is satisfied, and the conditional reconfiguration is used for CPA or MN initiated inter-SN CPC.

[0286] c) The continuous CPAC configuration provided by the candidate cell, such as subsequentCondReconfig, includes the continuous CPAC execution conditions for the condition evaluation of other candidate cells when the RRC configuration of this candidate cell is applied (it can be understood that when serving as the primary / secondary serving cell), that is, at least one second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG.

[0287] The second execution condition includes at least one of the following:

[0288] condExecutionCondSCG associated with the condition reconfiguration identifier; wherein, the condition reconfiguration identifier corresponds to a candidate cell.

[0289] The second execution condition is used to trigger the execution of the condition reconfiguration after it is satisfied, and the condition reconfiguration is used for SNinitiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC, SN initiated intra-SN subsequent CPAC withMN involvement, or MN initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC.

[0290] For each condition reconfiguration identifier condReconfigId, the network can configure the first execution condition and the second execution condition simultaneously.

[0291] For example: For each condition reconfiguration identifier condReconfigId, the network can configure the first execution condition condExecutionCond and the second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG simultaneously for continuous CPAC.

[0292] For example, the current PSCell is Cell1;

[0293] The configured candidate cells are Cell【1, 2, 3】, wherein, the candidate cells Cell2 and Cell3 are configured with the first execution condition by the MN. The candidate cells Cell1, Cell2, and Cell3 are all candidate cells for continuous CPAC.

[0294] Among them,

[0295] The first execution condition of the candidate cell Cell2 is condExecutionCond, and the value is measId2;

[0296] The first execution condition of the candidate cell Cell3 is condExecutionCond, and the value is measId3;

[0297] After applying the conditional reconfiguration of Cell2, i.e., when the PSCell is Cell2:

[0298] The second execution condition for the candidate cell Cell1 is condExecutionCondSCG, and the value is measId2 - 1;

[0299] The second execution condition for the candidate cell Cell3 is condExecutionCondSCG, and the value is measId2 - 3;

[0300] After applying the conditional reconfiguration of Cell3, i.e., when the PSCell is Cell3:

[0301] The second execution condition for the candidate cell Cell1 is condExecutionCondSCG, and the value is measId3 - 1;

[0302] The second execution condition for the candidate cell Cell2 is condExecutionCondSCG, and the value is measId3 - 1;

[0303] The value of the above execution condition, i.e., MeasID, is associated with the MCG measurement configuration or the SCG measurement configuration.

[0304] 2. The UE uses the target execution condition to evaluate each candidate cell, and the target execution condition is the execution condition applied to evaluate the candidate cell currently.

[0305] 3. After at least one execution condition is satisfied, the UE executes CPC. For example, the PSCell changes to Cell2.

[0306] 4. After executing CPC, the UE enters the continuous CPC process. Among them, it includes the evaluation and execution of the continuous CPC.

[0307] During the continuous CPC process, the UE uses the target execution condition to evaluate each candidate cell. Among them, the target execution is the second execution condition of each candidate cell. That is, the UE uses the second execution condition to evaluate each candidate cell of the PSCell. The second execution condition is the execution condition associated with the condition reconfiguration identifier of the candidate cell included in the continuous conditional reconfiguration.

[0308] The candidate cells Cell1 and Cell3 configured by Cell2.

[0309] The target execution condition of each candidate cell of the PSCell is the second execution condition, i.e., the continuous CPAC execution condition.

[0310] The UE retains the first execution condition for each candidate cell. For example, during or after consecutive CPAC processes, the CPAC execution condition condExecutionCond of the above MN configuration for each candidate cell is retained.

[0311] The first execution condition for candidate cell Cell2 is condExecutionCond, with a value of measId2;

[0312] The first execution condition for candidate cell Cell3 is condExecutionCond, with a value of measId3;

[0313] It can be understood that the CPAC execution condition configured by the MN is an A4 measurement event and can be used for CPA. By retaining the first execution condition for each candidate cell, when CPA is required to restore the dual connection, as many candidate cells as possible can participate in CPA, improving the conditional handover performance.

[0314] 5. SCG release;

[0315] 6. The UE performs CPA evaluation. Candidate cells Cell2, Cell3.

[0316] The target execution condition for each candidate cell is the first execution condition, that is, the execution condition of MN initiated inter-SN CPC.

[0317] In the foregoing process, the first execution condition for each candidate cell is retained. And the conditional reconfiguration variable of the candidate cell may simultaneously include the first execution condition and the second execution condition. The embodiment of the present application determines to use the first execution condition under the first condition, such as during the CPA process, to avoid confusion in the use of multiple execution conditions and ensure communication quality.
