Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] FIG1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of an embodiment of the present application.

[0036] As shown in Figure 1, a communication system 100 may include a terminal device 110 and a network device 120. The network device 120 may communicate with the terminal device 110 via an air interface. The terminal device 110 and the network device 120 support multi-service transmission.

[0037] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are only illustrative of the communication system 100, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0038] In the communication system 100 shown in Figure 1, the network device 120 may be an access network device that communicates with the terminal device 110. The access network device may provide communication coverage for a specific geographical area and may communicate with the terminal device 110 (eg, UE) located within the coverage area.

[0048] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the relevant technologies of the embodiments of the present application are described below. The following relevant technologies can be arbitrarily combined with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, and they all fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0049] The following introduces Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements and the RRM measurement relaxation mechanism.

[0050] The terminal device needs to perform intra-frequency or inter-frequency measurements in the Radio Resource Control IDLE (RRC_IDLE) state, and thus perform mobility operations based on the measurement results, such as performing cell reselection.

[0051] In the connected (RRC_CONNECTED) state, the terminal needs to continuously perform intra-frequency or inter-frequency measurements based on the network configuration to perform mobility operations, such as cell handover.

[0052] The following describes the RRM measurement power saving mechanism in the RRC_IDLE state.

[0053] To save power consumption of the terminal device during the measurement process, the following measurement rules are currently supported in the RRC_IDLE state:

[0054] For intra-frequency measurement, the following rules are adopted: if the measurement result of the serving cell satisfies: serving cell signal strength Srxlev>SintraSearchP, and serving cell signal reception quality Squal>SIntraSearchQ, the terminal device may choose not to perform intra-frequency measurement; otherwise, the terminal device needs to perform intra-frequency measurement.

[0055] For inter-frequency and inter-RAT measurements, the following rules apply:

[0056] For NR frequencies or inter-RAT bands with a higher reselection priority than the current NR frequency, the terminal needs to perform inter-frequency or inter-system measurements.

[0057] For NR frequencies or inter-RAT frequencies with a lower reselection priority than or the same reselection priority as the current NR frequency, if the measurement result of the serving cell satisfies Srxlev>SnonIntraSearchP and Squal>SnonIntraSearchQ, the terminal device may choose not to perform inter-frequency or inter-system measurements; otherwise, the terminal device performs inter-frequency or inter-system measurements.

[0058] The following describes the RRM measurement power saving mechanism in the RRC_CONNECTED state.

[0059] For terminal devices in the RRC_CONNECTED state, RRM measurements can be performed based on the S measurement criterion. The S measurement criterion can be based on the synchronization signal / physical broadcast channel block (SS / PBCH block, SSB) or the channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS).

[0060] The S measurement criteria include: if the reference signal receiving power (RSRP) obtained by the terminal based on SSB or CSI-RS measurement is greater than the corresponding threshold ssb-RSRP or csi-RSRP, the terminal device only needs to perform measurements of the serving cell and does not perform measurements outside the serving cell; otherwise, the terminal device performs RRM measurements according to the configuration of the monitoring occasion (MO).

[0061] The measurement relaxation mechanism is introduced below.

[0062] Standard Release 16 (R16) introduces two measurement relaxation criteria: "the terminal is not located at the cell edge" and "low mobility".

[0063] For the "terminal is not located at the cell edge" criterion, the network equipment can configure the RSRP threshold for the "terminal is not located at the cell edge" criterion and the Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ) threshold for the "terminal is not located at the cell edge" criterion. Among them, when the RSRP measured by the terminal device in the serving cell is greater than the RSRP threshold, and when the network configures the RSRQ threshold, the RSRQ measured by the terminal device in the serving cell is greater than the RSRQ threshold, then the terminal device is considered to meet the "terminal is not located at the cell edge" criterion.

[0064] It should be noted that the RSRP threshold configured by the network for the "terminal is not at the cell edge" criterion must be smaller than SIntraSearchP and SnonIntraSearchP. If the network also configures the RSRQ threshold for the "terminal is not at the cell edge" criterion, the RSRQ threshold for the "terminal is not at the cell edge" criterion must be smaller than SIntraSearchQ and SnonIntraSearchQ.

[0065] In addition, for the "low mobility" criterion, the network can configure the RSRP change evaluation duration TSearchDeltaP and the RSRP change value threshold SsearchDeltaP. When the RSRP change of the terminal device in the serving cell within the TsearchDeltaP duration is less than SSearchDeltaP, the terminal device is considered to meet the "low mobility" criterion.

[0066] When the terminal device meets the "terminal is not located at the cell edge" and / or "low mobility" criteria, the terminal device uses a longer measurement interval when performing RRM measurements on neighboring cells. A fixed scaling factor (denoted as K here) is used to increase the measurement interval, that is, a neighbor cell measurement is performed every K measurements. After completing cell selection / reselection, the terminal device needs to perform normal RRM measurements for at least a period of time TSearchDeltaP.

[0067] It should be pointed out that R17 further enhances the "low mobility" criterion introduced in R16. The main change is the introduction of the second threshold SSearchDeltaP and the second TSearchDelta to support further relaxation of measurements for low mobility scenarios (such as stationary terminals or quasi-stationary terminals) (reflected in a larger scaling factor).

[0068] In the research of the R18 standardization version, further energy-saving processing of terminal devices will be studied in depth. Currently, the introduction of low-power / low-complexity receivers in terminal devices is being considered. Such low-power and low-complexity receivers can be called auxiliary receivers, wake-up receivers (WUR), or LP-WUR, etc., and this embodiment of the application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0069] The embodiment of the present application is described using LP-WUR as an example.

[0070] It should be understood that the LP-WUR receiver is simple to implement, has low device complexity, and can operate in an extremely low-power mode. The LP-WUR receiver can operate continuously, listening for a low-power wake-up signal (LP-WUS). When it receives an LP-WUS signal sent by a network device to a terminal device or to the terminal group to which the terminal device belongs, the LP-WUR can wake up the terminal device's main receiver (MR), thereby achieving overall energy saving for the terminal.

[0071] After discussion, it is possible to support multiple types / structures / implementations of LP-WUR receivers. Among them, the following four options of LP-WUR oscillator accuracy are allowed:

[0072] Option 1: The maximum frequency error of the oscillator is 200ppm, and the frequency drift of the oscillator is 0.1ppm / s;

[0073] Option 2: The maximum frequency error of the oscillator is 50ppm, and the frequency drift of the oscillator is 0.1ppm / s;

[0074] Option 3: The maximum oscillator frequency error is 10ppm, and the oscillator frequency drift is 0.05ppm / s;

[0075] Option 4: The maximum oscillator frequency error is 5ppm, and the oscillator frequency drift is 0.05ppm / s.

[0076] That is, the maximum frequency error of the real-time clock (RTC) of the LP-WUR receiver is 200ppm, and the maximum frequency drift is 0.1ppm / s.

[0077] In addition, after discussion by the standards working group, the power consumption model of LP-WUR for terminal equipment can be found in Table 1.

[0078] Table 1

[0079] If the power consumption of the LP-WUR is 10 / 20 / 30 when powered on, an envelope detection receiver cannot be used for monitoring the LP-WUS. When the noise figure is less than [MR noise figure + 2.5dB], an OFDM receiver can be used for monitoring the LP-WUS.

[0080] If the power consumption value of LP-WUR in the Power on state is 0.2 / 0.5 / 1 / 2 / 4, then when monitoring LP-WUS, other noise figures greater than [MR Noise Figure + 2.5dB] need to be considered.

[0081] If the power consumption value of the LP-WUR in the Power Off state is 0.001, then the oscillators of options 1, 2, 3, and 4 above are not applicable and only the RTC can be maintained.

[0082] In addition, the standards working group also discussed RRM measurements related to LP-WUR.

[0083] For the inactive (RRC_INACTIVE) state or RRC_IDLE state, the study is conducted on offloading the RRM measurement of the serving cell from the primary receiver to the LP-WUR under certain conditions, and considering the relaxation of the RRM measurement of the serving cell / neighboring cell in the primary receiver.

[0084] Among them, LP-WUR can perform measurements on periodic reference signals, such as SSB, LP-WUS waveform sequence, LP-SS, etc.

[0085] Relaxation of RRM measurements for the primary receiver can be achieved in two optional ways:

[0086] Option 1: If the primary receiver considers RRM measurement relaxation, the relaxed period is adopted;

[0087] Option 2: Perform RRM measurement of MR only when the LP-WUR measurement based on the reference signal meets certain conditions, such as being below a threshold.

[0088] The standards working group also discussed the activation / deactivation design of LP-WUS monitoring.

[0089] For the RRC_INACTIVE / RRC_IDLE states, the following optional methods can be used to activate and deactivate LP-WUR monitoring of the terminal device:

[0090] Option 1: The base station transmits a traditional paging indication and LP-WUS; the terminal device implements the decision to activate and / or deactivate the monitoring of the LP-WUS wake-up signal. Activation / deactivation can be based on channel conditions, such as whether coverage is sufficient.

[0091] Option 2: The base station transmits a traditional paging indication and LP-WUS; based on pre-configured criteria, it decides to activate and / or deactivate monitoring of the LP-WUS wake-up signal. Activation / deactivation can be based on channel conditions, such as whether coverage is sufficient.

[0092] Option 3: Determine activation / deactivation of LP-WUS monitoring based on signaling within the cell;

[0093] For the RRC_CONNECTTED state, LP-WUS monitoring can be activated / deactivated in at least one of the following ways:

[0094] Through the RRC signaling of the base station, it can be based on or not based on the support of the UE;

[0095] L1 / L2LP-WUS activation / deactivation signaling via the base station, which can be based on or without UE support;

[0096] Based on preconfigured criteria, such as timers;

[0097] The monitoring of LP-WUS by the terminal device is known to the base station.

[0098] In R18, multiple structures and implementation methods of LP-WUR are considered. For example, the LP-WUR implementation based on envelope detection can have lower power consumption in the Power Off and Power On states, and can have better energy-saving gains; or the LP-WUR implementation based on OFDM signal processing, although the power consumption in the Power Off and Power On states is higher, compared with envelope detection, the frequency deviation and / or time deviation performance is better (lower maximum frequency offset), and under some conditions, it will also have better LP-WUS detection performance.

[0099] The current research scope includes discussions on the auxiliary receiver's support for RRM measurements, clock offset and frequency offset performance, and the activation / deactivation of LP-WUR monitoring of LP-WUS. However, the final design of the LP-WUR has not yet been determined. Each LP-WUR design has its own advantages. If multiple LP-WUR implementations can ultimately be supported, the performance differences of different LP-WURs will require consideration of the compatibility design of LP-WURs with different capabilities / categories / performance in signal measurement scenarios.

[0100] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a communication processing method, wherein the terminal device can determine a first decision threshold and / or a first bias parameter associated with the type of the first receiver; the first decision threshold and / or the first bias parameter are used to perform a decision related to the signal measurement of the first receiver. It can be seen that each type of first receiver can have an associated ( / matched / corresponding) first decision threshold and / or first bias parameter. In this way, the terminal device can select the first decision threshold and / or first bias parameter associated with the type of its first receiver according to the type to which the terminal device belongs, so as to make a measurement-related decision based on the first decision threshold and / or first bias parameter. It can be seen that each type of first receiver can make a measurement decision based on its associated first decision threshold and / or first bias parameter, compensate for the error in the signal measurement results of different types of first receivers, and can be compatible with different types of first receivers to a great extent, maintaining system stability.

[0101] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application are described in detail below through specific embodiments. The above related technologies can be combined arbitrarily with the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application as optional solutions, and all of them fall within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application. The embodiments of the present application include at least part of the following contents.

[0102] FIG2 shows a communication processing method provided by an embodiment of the present application, which may include:

[0103] S110. The terminal device determines a first decision threshold and / or a first bias parameter associated with the type of the first receiver; wherein the first decision threshold and / or the first bias parameter are used to perform a decision related to signal measurement of the first receiver.

[0104] It should be noted that the terminal device may include at least two receivers, which may include a first receiver and a second receiver.

[0105] The first receiver may be a low-power / low-complexity receiver that is simple to implement, has low complexity, and can operate at low power consumption. For example, the first receiver may be an auxiliary receiver, a WUR, an LP-WUR, or other low-power receiver, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0106] In addition, the second receiver may be a receiver with high complexity and power consumption, and may be used to implement complex signal reception. For example, the second receiver may be a main receiver.

[0107] In practical applications, the terminal device can turn off the second receiver and wake up the second receiver by receiving a wake-up signal (WUS) through the first receiver with extremely low power consumption / extremely low complexity, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal device.

[0108] It should be understood that, on the one hand, the first receiver needs to monitor the wake-up signal to wake up the second receiver; on the other hand, the first receiver can also have the RRM measurement function to replace or assist the second receiver in performing RRM measurements, thereby achieving the relaxation of the RRM measurement processing by the second receiver and achieving the purpose of energy saving for the entire terminal device.

[0109] Currently, communication networks support various types of first receiver implementations. For example, the first receiver can be based on envelope detection or OFDM. Different types of first receivers differ in function, structure, implementation, design, capabilities, and category.

[0110] It should be noted that different types can also be called different functions, different structures, different implementation methods, different designs, different capabilities, different classifications, etc., and they are equivalent and interchangeable.

[0111] The differences between different types of first receivers may be reflected in one or more of the following:

[0112] Different types of first receivers consume different amounts of power when in the Power Off and / or Power On states;

[0113] Different types of first receivers use different methods for signal reception. For example, some first receivers may use envelope detection to receive signals, while others may use OFDM signal processing (which requires performing fast Fourier transform or inverse Fourier transform). The key difference lies in power consumption, signal processing complexity, and reception performance.

[0114] Different types of first receivers use different bit widths when performing analog-to-digital converter (ADC) sampling;

[0115] Different types of first receivers support different measurement signals (SSB (PSS / SSS / PBCH DMRS), LP-WUS waveform sequence, LP-SS, etc.);

[0116] Different types of first receivers use different measurement indicators for measurement, where the measurement indicators include but are not limited to one or more of the following: received signal strength indication (RSSI), RSRP, signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR), RSRQ, low power RSSI (LP-RSSI), low power RSRP (LP-RSRP), low power SINR (LP-SINR), low power (LP-RSRQ), etc.;

[0117] Different types of first receivers have different measurement accuracy losses relative to the second receiver when performing signal measurement, or in other words, different types of first receivers have different measurement accuracy.

[0118] It should be noted that, due to the above differences between different types of first receivers, different types of first receivers also have significant differences when performing signal measurements.

[0119] For example, the following describes in detail the differences in channel measurement between different types of first receivers, using three UEs (UE1, UE2, and UE3) in the same location. UE1 is a legacy terminal device, equipped only with an MR. UE2 and UE3 are equipped with different types of first receivers, such as WUR1 for UE2 and WUR2 for UE3.

[0120] When the three UEs measure the signal sent by the same network device (the three UEs can measure the same signal, such as the PSS, or different signals, such as the PSS and LP-SS), due to differences in measurement accuracy between MRs and different types of WURs, the measurement results may be: RSRP_UE1 > Threshold0 > RSRP_UE2 > RSRP_UE3. RSRP_UE1 is the measurement result of UE1, RSRP_UE2 is the measurement result of UE2, and RSRP_UE3 is the measurement result of UE3.

[0121] In this example, if the same threshold value is used and the UE's measurement results are not biased, the RRM measurement decision is made directly, or the LP-WUS monitoring activation / deactivation decision is made, for UEs using different WURs, terminal devices in the same coverage location may obtain different decision results due to different WUR designs.

[0122] This shows that different types of first receivers may experience significant measurement errors when measuring signals. For example, for RSRP measurement, the RSRP measurement error range for some types of first receivers may be [-3dB, +3dB], while for other types of first receivers it may be [-5dB, +5dB]. Alternatively, the measurement results of a Type 1 first receiver may differ by ΔS from those of a Type 2 first receiver.

[0123] If the error causes the relationship between the measurement result and the decision threshold to remain unchanged, the impact on the communication system is generally minor. However, if the error causes the relationship between the measurement result and the threshold to change, it may introduce certain system operation risks. For example, a cell handover should be triggered, but it is not triggered due to a measurement error; or if the first receiver is still used to monitor the WUS when the second receiver should be used to monitor the WUS, the terminal device will not be able to receive the paging message sent by the network device.

[0124] Based on this, in an embodiment of the present application, in order to compensate for measurement errors of different types of first receivers, first decision thresholds and / or first bias parameters associated ( / matching / corresponding) can be predefined or configured for different types of first receivers.

[0125] In this way, the terminal device can determine the first decision threshold and / or first bias parameter associated with (matching / corresponding to) the type of its first receiver based on the type of its first receiver to perform decisions related to signal measurement of the first receiver.

[0126] It should be noted that the first decision thresholds and / or first offset parameters associated with different types of first receivers may be the same or different.

[0127] It can be seen that each type of first receiver can have an associated ( / matched / corresponding) first decision threshold and / or first bias parameter. In this way, the terminal device can select the first decision threshold and / or first bias parameter associated with the type of its own first receiver according to the type to which the terminal device belongs, so as to make measurement-related decisions based on the first decision threshold and / or first bias parameter. It can be seen that each type of first receiver can make measurement decisions based on its associated first decision threshold and / or first bias parameter, thereby compensating for the errors in the signal measurement results of different types of first receivers, and can be compatible with different types of first receivers to a great extent, maintaining system stability.

[0128] It should be noted that the first bias parameter associated with the type of the first receiver, and / or the first decision threshold can be predefined, can be network configured, can be determined by the terminal device itself according to preset rules, or can be determined by the terminal device according to a predefined or network configured mapping relationship (for example, the mapping relationship between the type of the first receiver and the first bias parameter, and / or the mapping relationship between the type of the first receiver and the first decision threshold). The embodiments of the present application do not impose any restrictions on this.

[0129] The following describes in detail how to determine the first bias parameter associated with the type of the first receiver.

[0130] In an embodiment of the present application, the first receiver may support measuring one or more measurement metrics, wherein the measurement metrics may include but are not limited to one or more of the following: LP-RSSI, LP-RSRP, LP-SINR, and LP-RSRQ.

[0131] In some embodiments, the number of first bias parameters associated with the type of first receiver of the terminal device may include one or more.

[0132] In a possible implementation, the number of first bias parameters associated with the type of the first receiver of the terminal device may include one. The one first bias parameter may correspond to one or more measurement indicators.

[0133] A first offset parameter may correspond to one or more measurement indicators, and may mean that each type of first receiver may use the same first offset parameter for different measurement indicators. For example, the first offset parameter corresponding to LP-RSSI may be recorded as Offset_RSSI_1, the first offset parameter corresponding to LP-RSRP may be recorded as Offset_RSRP_1, the first offset parameter corresponding to LP-SINR may be recorded as Offset_SINR_1, and the first offset parameter corresponding to LP-RSRQ may be recorded as Offset_RSRQ_1; wherein, Offset_RSSI_1 = Offset_RSRP_1 = Offset_SINR_1 = Offset_RSRQ_1.

[0134] In another possible implementation, there may be multiple first bias parameters associated with the type of the first receiver of the terminal device, and the multiple first bias parameters may correspond to multiple measurement indicators.

[0135] Wherein, the multiple first bias parameters correspond to multiple measurement indicators, and one first bias parameter may correspond to one measurement indicator (ie, one-to-one), or one first bias parameter may correspond to multiple measurement indicators (ie, one-to-many).

[0136] It is understandable that each type of first receiver may use first offset parameters with different values ​​for different measurement indicators. Exemplarily, at least two of Offset_RSSI_1, Offset_RSRP_1, Offset_SINR_1, and Offset_RSRQ_1 are different.

[0137] In some embodiments, the one or more first bias parameters may be determined based on one or more of the following:

[0138] predefined;

[0139] Preset rules;

[0140] Third configuration information sent by the network device; the third configuration information includes each first offset parameter of the one or more first offset parameters;

[0141] The first mapping relationship represents one or more first bias parameters respectively associated with multiple types of first receivers.

[0142] In one possible implementation, one or more first bias parameters associated with the type of the first receiver of the terminal device may be predefined, such as specified by a protocol, or implemented by pre-storing corresponding codes in the terminal device or other methods that can be used to indicate relevant information.

[0143] In another possible implementation, the one or more first bias parameters associated with the first receiver type of the terminal device may also be determined by the terminal device itself according to preset rules. It is understood that the terminal device may independently determine the one or more first bias parameters based on implementation. For example, the network may predefine or configure a bias parameter range, and the terminal device may determine the one or more first bias parameters associated with the type of the first receiver of the terminal device from within the bias parameter range based on implementation.

[0144] In another possible implementation, the one or more first bias parameters associated with the type of the first receiver of the terminal device may also be configured by the network device. The terminal device may receive third configuration information sent by the network device and determine, based on the third configuration information, each of the one or more first bias parameters associated with the type of the first receiver of the terminal device.

[0145] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the network device can obtain the type of the terminal device's first receiver in advance. For example, the terminal device reports the type of its first receiver to the network device via capability information. In this way, the network device can configure one or more first bias parameters associated with the type of its first receiver for the terminal device. In this way, the terminal device can directly determine the one or more first bias parameters associated with its first receiver type based on the third configuration information.

[0146] Illustratively, the third configuration information may be as shown in Table 2.

[0147] Table 2

[0148] Multiple first offset parameters associated with the type of the first receiver: Offset_RSSI_1, Offset_RSRP_1, Offset_SINR_1, Offset_RSRQ_1, correspond to measurement indicators LP-RSSI, LP-RSRP, LP-SINR, and LP-RSRQ, respectively.

[0149] It should be noted that the third configuration information may be dynamic configuration information, semi-static configuration information, or static configuration information, and this embodiment of the present application does not impose any restrictions on this. In other words, the network device may dynamically configure, semi-statically configure, or statically configure one or more first bias parameters associated with each type of first receiver.

[0150] In addition, the third configuration information can be carried by high-layer signaling, such as RRC signaling; the third configuration information can also be carried by physical layer signaling, such as downlink control information (DCI) or media access control element (MAC CE). This embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0151] It should also be noted that the network device can send the third configuration information to the terminal device via multicast / multicast or unicast, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0152] In another possible implementation, the terminal device may determine one or more first bias parameters associated with the type of the first receiver based on the first mapping relationship, wherein the first mapping relationship may represent one or more first bias parameters associated with multiple types of first receivers.

[0153] That is, the terminal device may search the first mapping relationship for one or more first bias parameters associated with the type of the first receiver of the current terminal device based on the first mapping relationship.

[0154] For example, the first mapping relationship may be expressed in a table, as shown in Table 3.

[0155] Table 3

[0156] As can be seen from Table 3, if the type of the first receiver of the terminal device is type 1, the terminal device can use Table 3 to find the first offset parameters associated with type 1, which are Offset_RSSI_1, Offset_RSRP_1, Offset_SINR_1, and Offset_RSRQ_1. If the type of the first receiver of the terminal device is type 2, the terminal device can use Table 3 to find the first offset parameters associated with type 2, which are Offset_RSSI_2, Offset_RSRP_2, Offset_SINR_2, and Offset_RSRQ_2. If the type of the first receiver of the terminal device is type 3, the terminal device can use Table 3 to find the first offset parameters associated with type 3, which are Offset_RSSI_3, Offset_RSRP_3, Offset_SINR_3, and Offset_RSRQ_3.

[0157] It should be noted that Table 3 only provides one implementation of the first mapping relationship, and the method corresponding to each column or each row in Table 3 can be implemented separately.

[0158] In some embodiments, the first mapping relationship may be determined based on one or more of the following:

[0159] predefined;

[0160] Preset rules;

[0161] Fourth configuration information sent by the network device; the fourth configuration information includes the first mapping relationship.

[0162] In a possible implementation, the first mapping relationship may be predefined, such as specified by a protocol, or implemented by pre-storing a corresponding code, table, or other method that can be used to indicate relevant information in the terminal device.

[0163] In another possible implementation, the first mapping relationship may be determined by the terminal device itself according to a preset rule. The terminal device may determine the first mapping relationship based on its implementation. For example, the network may predefine or configure multiple first mapping relationships, and the terminal device may select one of them based on its implementation.

[0164] In another possible implementation, the first mapping relationship may also be configured by a network device, wherein the network device may send fourth configuration information to configure the first mapping relationship through the fourth configuration information.

[0165] It should be noted that the fourth configuration information can be dynamic configuration information, semi-static configuration information, or static configuration information, and this embodiment of the application does not limit this. In other words, the network device can dynamically configure, semi-statically configure, or statically configure the above-mentioned first mapping relationship.

[0166] In addition, the fourth configuration information can be carried by high-layer signaling, such as RRC signaling; the fourth configuration information can also be carried by physical layer signaling, such as downlink control information (DCI) or media access control element (MAC CE). The embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0167] It should be noted that the network device can send the fourth configuration information to the terminal device via broadcast, multicast / multicast, or unicast, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0168] It will be appreciated that in this embodiment, the network device need not obtain the type of the first receiver of each terminal device. Instead, the network device can configure one or more first bias parameters associated with multiple types of first receivers for the terminal device. In this way, the terminal device can select one or more appropriate first bias parameters based on the type of its first receiver, thereby making measurement-related decisions.

[0169] In some embodiments, the number of the first mapping relationships may include one or more. When there are multiple first mapping relationships, the network device may indicate to the terminal device the first mapping relationship actually used.

[0170] In summary, the terminal device can determine one or more first bias parameters associated with the first receiver in a variety of different ways, thereby improving the flexibility of system parameter configuration.

[0171] The following describes in detail how to determine the first decision threshold associated with the type of the first receiver.

[0172] In some embodiments, the number of first decision thresholds associated with the type of the first receiver of the terminal device may include one or more.

[0173] In a possible implementation, the number of first decision thresholds associated with the type of the first receiver of the terminal device includes one, and one first decision threshold is used for determining one or more measurement indicators.

[0174] It is understandable that, when there are multiple measurement indicators, the terminal device may make decisions on the multiple measurement indicators based on the same first decision threshold.

[0175] Illustratively, the first decision threshold corresponding to LP-RSSI can be recorded as RSSI_Threshold_1, the first decision threshold corresponding to LP-RSRP can be recorded as RSRP_Threshold_1, the first decision threshold corresponding to LP-SINR can be recorded as SINR_Threshold_1, and the first decision threshold corresponding to LP-RSRQ can be recorded as RSRQ_Threshold_1; wherein, RSSI_Threshold_1=RSRP_Threshold_1=SINR_Threshold_1=RSRQ_Threshold_1.

[0176] In another possible implementation, the number of first decision thresholds associated with the type of the first receiver of the terminal device includes multiple, multiple first decision thresholds are associated with multiple measurement indicators, and the first decision threshold is used to decide the measurement indicators associated with the first decision threshold.

[0177] Wherein, multiple first decision thresholds are associated with multiple measurement indicators. One first decision threshold can be associated with one measurement indicator (i.e., one-to-one), i.e., different first decision thresholds are used for decision making for different measurement indicators. Alternatively, one first decision threshold can be associated with multiple measurement indicators (i.e., one-to-many), i.e., the same or different first decision thresholds can be used for different measurement indicators.

[0178] Exemplarily, at least two of RSSI_Threshold_1, RSRP_Threshold_1, SINR_Threshold_1, and RSRQ_Threshold_1 are different.

[0179] In some embodiments, the one or more first decision thresholds may be determined based on one or more of the following:

[0180] predefined;

[0181] Preset rules;

[0182] Fifth configuration information sent by the network device; the fifth configuration information includes each first decision threshold of the one or more first decision thresholds;

[0183] A second mapping relationship; the second mapping relationship represents one or more first decision thresholds respectively associated with multiple types of first receivers;

[0184] A third mapping relationship and a third bias parameter; the third mapping relationship represents one or more decision threshold values ​​associated with the reference type.

[0185] In one possible implementation, one or more first decision thresholds associated with the type of the first receiver of the terminal device may be predefined, such as specified by a protocol, or implemented by pre-storing corresponding codes or other methods that can be used to indicate relevant information in the terminal device.

[0186] In another possible implementation, the one or more decision thresholds associated with the type of the first receiver of the terminal device may also be determined by the terminal device itself according to preset rules. It is understood that the terminal device may independently determine the one or more first decision thresholds based on implementation. For example, the network may predefine or configure a decision threshold range, and the terminal device may determine the one or more first decision thresholds associated with the type of the first receiver of the terminal device from within the decision threshold range based on implementation.

[0187] In another possible implementation, the one or more decision thresholds associated with the type of the first receiver of the terminal device may be configured by the network device. The terminal device may receive fifth configuration information sent by the network device, and the network device configures the one or more first decision thresholds associated with the type of the first receiver for the terminal device using the fifth configuration information.

[0188] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the network device can obtain the type of the terminal device's first receiver in advance. For example, the terminal device can report the type of its first receiver to the network device via capability information. In this way, the network device can configure one or more first decision thresholds associated with the type of its first receiver for the terminal device. In this way, the terminal device can directly determine one or more first bias parameters associated with its first receiver type based on the fifth configuration information.

[0189] The fifth configuration information may be dynamic configuration information, semi-static configuration information, or static configuration information, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this. In other words, the network device may dynamically configure, semi-statically configure, or statically configure one or more first decision thresholds associated with each type of first receiver.

[0190] In addition, the fifth configuration information may be carried by high-layer signaling, such as RRC signaling; the third configuration information may also be carried by physical layer signaling, such as DCI or MAC CE. This embodiment of the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0191] It should also be noted that the network device can send the third configuration information to the terminal device via multicast / multicast or unicast, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0192] In another possible implementation, the terminal device may determine one or more first decision thresholds associated with the type of the first receiver based on the second mapping relationship, wherein the second mapping relationship may represent one or more first decision thresholds associated with multiple types of first receivers.

[0193] It is understandable that the terminal device may search the second mapping relationship for one or more first decision thresholds associated with the type of the first receiver of the current terminal device based on the second mapping relationship.

[0194] For example, the second mapping relationship may be expressed in a table format, as shown in Table 4.

[0195] Table 4

[0196] As can be seen from Table 4, if the type of the first receiver of the terminal device is type 1, the terminal device can determine that the first decision threshold of LP-RSSI is LP-RSSI_Threshold1, the first decision threshold of LP-RSRP is LP-RSRP_Threshold1, the first decision threshold of LP-SINR is LP-SINR_Threshold1, and the first decision threshold of LP-RSRQ is LP-RSRQ_Threshold1 through Table 4. In addition, if the type of the first receiver of the terminal device is type 2, the terminal device can determine that the first decision threshold of LP-RSSI is LP-RSSI_Threshold2, the first decision threshold of LP-RSRP is LP-RSRP_Threshold2, the first decision threshold of LP-SINR is LP-SINR_Threshold2, and the first decision threshold of LP-RSRQ is LP-RSRQ_Threshold2 through Table 4.

[0197] It should be noted that Table 4 only provides one implementation of the second mapping relationship, and the method corresponding to each column or each row in Table 4 can be implemented separately.

[0198] In some embodiments, the second mapping relationship may be determined based on one or more of the following:

[0199] predefined;

[0200] Preset rules;

[0201] The network device sends sixth configuration information; the sixth configuration information includes the second mapping relationship.

[0202] In a possible implementation, the second mapping relationship may be predefined, such as specified by a protocol, or implemented by pre-storing a corresponding code, table, or other method that can be used to indicate relevant information in the terminal device.

[0203] In another possible implementation, the second mapping relationship may be determined by the terminal device itself according to a preset rule. The terminal device may determine the second mapping relationship based on its implementation. For example, the network may predefine or configure multiple second mapping relationships, and the terminal device may select one of them based on its implementation.

[0204] In another possible implementation, the first mapping relationship may also be configured by a network device, wherein the network device may send sixth configuration information, which carries the second mapping relationship.

[0205] It will be appreciated that in this embodiment, the network device need not obtain the type of the first receiver of each terminal device. Instead, the network device can configure one or more first decision thresholds associated with various types of first receivers for the terminal device. In this way, the terminal device can select one or more appropriate first decision thresholds based on the type of its first receiver, thereby implementing measurement-related decisions.

[0206] In some embodiments, the number of the second mapping relationships may include one or more. When there are multiple second mapping relationships, the network device may indicate the second mapping relationship actually used to the terminal device.

[0207] In a possible implementation, the terminal device may further determine one or more first decision thresholds associated with its first receiver type based on the third mapping relationship and the third bias parameter, wherein the third mapping relationship represents one or more decision threshold values ​​associated with the reference type.

[0208] It is understandable that the terminal device can determine one or more first decision thresholds associated with the type to which its first receiver belongs based on one or more decision threshold values ​​associated with the reference type and the third bias parameter.

[0209] Among them, one or more first decision thresholds associated with the type to which the first receiver of the terminal device belongs can be the sum of one or more decision threshold values ​​associated with the benchmark type and a third bias parameter, or the difference between one or more decision threshold values ​​associated with the benchmark type and the third bias parameter. The embodiments of the present application do not impose any restrictions on this.

[0210] For example, the third mapping relationship may be as shown in Table 5.

[0211] Table 5

[0212] In combination with Table 5, when the third bias parameter is ΔS, the terminal device may determine that the first decision threshold associated with the type to which the first receiver belongs may include: LP-RSSI_baseline_Threshold1+ΔS (or LP-RSSI_baseline_Threshold1-ΔS), LP-RSRP_baseline_Threshold1+ΔS (or LP-RSRP_baseline_Threshold1-ΔS), LP-SINR_baseline_Threshold1+ΔS (or LP-SINR_baseline_Threshold1-ΔS), LP-RSRQ_baseline_Threshold1+ΔS (or LP-RSRQ_baseline_Threshold1-ΔS).

[0213] It should be noted that the third bias parameter is related to the type of the first receiver of the terminal device, and different types of first receivers are associated with different third bias parameters.

[0214] In some embodiments, the third mapping relationship and / or the third bias parameter may be determined based on one or more of the following:

[0215] predefined;

[0216] Preset rules;

[0217] The network device sends sixth configuration information; the sixth configuration information includes a third mapping relationship and / or a third offset parameter.

[0218] In a possible implementation, the third mapping relationship and / or third bias parameter may be predefined, such as specified by a protocol, or implemented by pre-saving corresponding codes, tables or other methods that can be used to indicate relevant information in the terminal device.

[0219] In another possible implementation, the third mapping relationship and / or third offset parameter may be determined by the terminal device based on preset rules. The terminal device may determine the third mapping relationship and / or third offset parameter based on its implementation. For example, the network may predefine or configure multiple third mapping relationships, and the terminal device may select one of them based on its implementation. The network may predefine or configure an offset parameter range, and the terminal device may select the third offset parameter to be used from within the offset parameter range based on its implementation.

[0220] In another possible implementation, the third mapping relationship and / or the third offset parameter may also be configured by the network device. The network device may send sixth configuration information, which carries the third mapping relationship and / or the third offset parameter.

[0221] It should be noted that the sixth configuration information can be dynamic configuration information, semi-static configuration information, or static configuration information, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0222] In addition, the sixth configuration information may be carried by high-layer signaling, such as RRC signaling; the sixth configuration information may also be carried by physical layer signaling, such as DCI, MAC CE signaling, which is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0223] It should be noted that the network device can send the sixth configuration information to the terminal device via broadcast, multicast / multicast, or unicast, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0224] In summary, the terminal device can determine one or more first decision thresholds associated with the first receiver in a variety of different ways, thereby improving the flexibility of system parameter configuration.

[0225] It should be noted that one or more of the above-mentioned third configuration information, fourth configuration information, fifth configuration information, and sixth configuration information can be configured to the terminal device by the network device through the same information, or can be configured to the terminal device through independent information. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0226] In an embodiment of the present application, a terminal device may perform a decision related to signal measurement of the first receiver based on a first decision threshold and / or a first bias parameter determined to be associated with the type of the first receiver. The terminal device may perform a decision based on the first decision threshold and / or the first bias parameter in a variety of ways, three of which are described below.

[0227] Method 1

[0228] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3 , the communication processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps:

[0229] S120A: The terminal device performs a decision related to the signal measurement of the first receiver based on the first bias parameter and the second decision threshold; wherein different types of first receivers all perform the decision based on the second decision threshold.

[0230] It should be understood that in method 1, for different types of first receivers, the same decision threshold (referred to as the second decision threshold in this embodiment of the application) and different bias parameters can be used to perform decisions related to signal measurements of the first receiver.

[0231] In other words, the same second decision threshold may be set for different types of first receivers, wherein the different types of first receivers may perform decisions related to signal measurements of the first receivers based on the second decision threshold and their associated first bias parameters.

[0232] In some embodiments, the number of the second decision threshold may include one or more.

[0233] In a possible implementation, when the number of the second decision threshold is one, the one second decision threshold can be used to determine one or more measurement indicators.

[0234] It is understood that when the number of second decision thresholds includes one, if there is one measurement indicator, the decision on the measurement indicator can be based on the one second decision threshold set above. If there are multiple measurement indicators, the decisions on the multiple measurement indicators can be based on the same second decision threshold.

[0235] In another possible implementation, the number of the second decision thresholds includes multiple ones. The multiple second decision thresholds may be associated with multiple measurement indicators. The second decision threshold is used to make decisions on the measurement indicators associated with the second decision thresholds.

[0236] The association relationship between the multiple second decision thresholds and the multiple measurement indicators can be one second decision threshold associated with one measurement indicator (i.e., a one-to-one association), i.e., different second decision thresholds are used for decision making for different measurement indicators. The association relationship between the multiple second decision thresholds and the multiple measurement indicators can also be one second decision threshold associated with multiple measurement indicators (i.e., a one-to-many association), i.e., for different measurement indicators, the second decision thresholds used can be the same first decision threshold or different second decision thresholds.

[0237] It should be noted that one measurement indicator may be associated with only one second decision threshold.

[0238] It is understood that when there are multiple measurement indicators, each measurement indicator can be judged using its associated second decision threshold. In other words, a second decision threshold can be independently set for each measurement indicator. The second decision thresholds associated with each measurement indicator can be the same or different, and this embodiment of the application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0239] It should be noted that, when there are multiple second decision thresholds, the second decision thresholds associated with the same measurement indicator are the same in different types of first receivers.

[0240] That is, for the same measurement indicator, the same threshold value can be set for different types of first receivers. For example, a second decision threshold LP-RSSI_Threshold is set for the measurement indicator LP-RSSI, a second decision threshold LP-RSRP_Threshold is set for the measurement indicator LP-RSRP, a second decision threshold LP-SINR_Threshold is set for the measurement indicator LP-SINR, and a second decision threshold LP-RSRQ_Threshold is set for the measurement indicator LP-RSRQ.

[0241] In some embodiments, the one or more second decision thresholds are determined based on one or more of the following:

[0242] predefined;

[0243] Preset rules;

[0244] First configuration information sent by the network device; the first configuration information includes each second decision threshold of the one or more second decision thresholds; and,

[0245] The second bias parameter corresponds to the measurement indicator associated with the reference decision threshold and / or one or more second decision thresholds.

[0246] In a possible implementation, the one or more second decision thresholds may be predefined, such as specified by a protocol, or implemented by pre-storing a corresponding code in the terminal device or other methods that can be used to indicate relevant information.

[0247] In another possible implementation, the one or more second decision thresholds may be determined by the terminal device based on preset rules. It is understood that the terminal device may determine the one or more second decision thresholds based on its implementation. For example, the network device may be configured with a threshold range, and the terminal device may determine the one or more second decision thresholds within the threshold range based on its implementation.

[0248] In another possible implementation, the one or more second decision thresholds may also be configured by the network device, wherein the terminal device may receive first configuration information sent by the network device and configure each of the one or more second decision thresholds using the first configuration information.

[0249] It should be noted that the first configuration information can be dynamic configuration information, semi-static configuration information, or static configuration information, and this embodiment of the application does not limit this. In other words, the network device can dynamically configure, semi-statically configure, or statically configure the above-mentioned one or more second decision thresholds.

[0250] In addition, the first configuration information may be carried by high-layer signaling, such as RRC signaling; the first configuration information may also be carried by physical layer signaling, such as DCI or MAC CE signaling. This embodiment of the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0251] It should also be noted that the network device can send the first configuration information to the terminal device via broadcast, multicast / multicast, or unicast, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0252] In a possible implementation, the one or more second decision thresholds may also be determined based on second bias parameters corresponding to measurement indicators associated with the reference decision threshold and / or the one or more second decision thresholds.

[0253] The one or more measurement indicators supported by the first receiver may be respectively provided with corresponding second bias parameters. The second decision thresholds actually used for the multiple measurement indicators may be determined based on the reference decision threshold and the second bias parameters corresponding to the multiple measurement indicators.

[0254] For example, the baseline decision threshold is denoted as baseline_Threshold. If the second offset parameter corresponding to LP-RSSI is Offset_RSSI, the second decision threshold actually used for LP-RSSI can be the sum of the baseline measurement threshold and the second offset parameter, i.e., LP-RSSI_Threshold = baseline_Threshold + Offset_RSSI, or the second decision threshold can be the difference between the baseline decision threshold and the second offset parameter, i.e., LP-RSSI_Threshold = baseline_Threshold - Offset_RSSI. If the second offset parameter corresponding to LP-RSRP is Offset_RSRP, the second decision threshold actually used for LP-RSRP can be baseline_Threshold + Offset_RSRP, or baseline_Threshold - Offset_RSRP.

[0255] In some embodiments, the second bias parameter corresponding to the measurement indicator associated with the reference decision threshold and / or one or more second decision thresholds may be determined based on one or more of the following:

[0256] predefined;

[0257] Preset rules;

[0258] The second configuration information sent by the network device includes a second bias parameter corresponding to a measurement indicator associated with the benchmark decision threshold and / or one or more second decision thresholds.

[0259] In one possible implementation, the above-mentioned benchmark decision threshold and / or the second bias parameter corresponding to each measurement indicator can be predefined, such as specified by the protocol, or implemented by pre-saving the corresponding code or other methods that can be used to indicate relevant information in the terminal device.

[0260] In another possible implementation, the reference decision threshold and / or the second bias parameter corresponding to each measurement indicator may also be determined by the terminal device itself according to preset rules. It is understandable that the terminal device may determine the reference decision threshold and / or the second bias parameter corresponding to each measurement indicator according to its implementation. For example, the network device may be configured with a threshold range, and the terminal device may determine a reference measurement threshold within the threshold range based on its implementation. Similarly, the network device may be configured with a bias range, and the terminal device may determine the second bias parameter corresponding to each measurement indicator within the bias range based on its implementation.

[0261] In another possible implementation, the reference measurement threshold and / or the second bias parameter corresponding to each measurement indicator may also be configured by a network device. The terminal device may receive second configuration information sent by the network device, where the second configuration information may include the reference decision threshold and / or the second bias parameters corresponding to the measurement indicators associated with one or more second decision thresholds.

[0262] It should be noted that the second configuration information can be dynamic configuration information or semi-static configuration information, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this. In addition, the second configuration information can be carried via high-layer signaling, such as RRC signaling, or can be carried via physical layer signaling, such as DCI or MAC CE signaling. This embodiment of the present application does not limit this. In addition, the network device can send the first configuration information to the terminal device via broadcast, multicast / multicast, or unicast, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0263] As can be seen from the above, when there are multiple measurement indicators, each measurement indicator can be individually configured with a second decision threshold. Each measurement indicator can also be configured with only one reference decision threshold. In one example, each measurement indicator uses the reference decision threshold as the actual second decision threshold, and the actual second decision thresholds of each measurement indicator are the same threshold value. In another example, the actual second decision threshold used by each measurement indicator can be determined based on the corresponding second bias parameter and the reference decision threshold.

[0264] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned one or more second decision thresholds can be reused legacy threshold values, or dedicated threshold values ​​configured for the first receiver, or threshold values ​​obtained by offsetting the legacy threshold values. The embodiments of the present application do not impose any restrictions on this.

[0265] It should be noted that in method 1 of the embodiment of the present application, first receivers of different categories can adjust the signal measurement results of the first receivers based on the "first bias parameter" associated with their categories, and can also adjust the second decision threshold. It is also possible to adjust both the signal measurement results of the first receivers and the second decision threshold simultaneously. In this way, the terminal device can perform a decision related to the signal measurement of the first receiver based on the adjusted measurement results and / or the adjusted second decision threshold.

[0266] In one possible implementation, in S120A, the terminal device performs a decision related to the signal measurement of the first receiver based on the first bias parameter and the second decision threshold, which can be implemented in the following manner:

[0267] The terminal device adjusts the measurement result of the first receiver based on the first bias parameter to obtain an adjusted measurement result;

[0268] The terminal device makes a decision on the adjusted measurement result based on the second decision threshold.

[0269] It can be understood that, in this implementation, the terminal device can adjust the measurement result of the first receiver based on the first bias parameter associated with the first receiver type.

[0270] Exemplarily, the adjusted measurement result is recorded as the final measurement result, where the final measurement result can be any one of the following:

[0271] Final measurement result = actual measurement result + first bias parameter;

[0272] Final measurement result = actual measurement result - first bias parameter;

[0273] Final measurement result = actual measurement result + first bias parameter * scaling factor;

[0274] Final measurement result = actual measurement result - first bias parameter * scaling factor.

[0275] It should be noted that the value of the first bias parameter can be a positive number or a negative number, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0276] In addition, the scaling factor may be predefined or configured by the network device, and the embodiments of the present application do not impose any restrictions on this.

[0277] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may compare the adjusted measurement result with the second decision threshold to obtain a decision result.

[0278] In some embodiments, when there are multiple measurement indicators, the terminal device can obtain the actual measurement result of each measurement indicator. The terminal device can adjust the actual measurement result of each measurement indicator based on the first bias parameter corresponding to each measurement indicator to obtain the final measurement result of each measurement indicator. The method for determining the first bias parameter can be referred to the description in the above embodiment and is not repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0279] Exemplarily, the measurement indicators supported by the first receiver of the terminal device may include LP-RSSI, LP-RSRP, LP-SINR, and LP-RSRQ. Based on this, the first receiver of the terminal device can measure a specific reference signal (such as WUS, LP-SS, etc.) to obtain the LP-RSSI measurement value, LP-RSRP measurement value, LP-SINR measurement value, and LP-RSRQ measurement value of the specific reference signal. Among them, the first bias parameter associated with the type of the first receiver determined by the terminal device includes: Offset_RSSI_1, Offset_RSRP_1, Offset_SINR_1, and Offset_RSRQ_1. Among them, Offset_RSSI_1 is the first bias parameter corresponding to LP-RSSI, Offset_RSRP_1 is the first bias parameter corresponding to LP-RSRP, Offset_SINR_1 is the first bias parameter corresponding to LP-SINR, and Offset_RSRQ_1 is the first bias parameter corresponding to LP-RSRQ.

[0280] Here, Offset_RSSI_1, Offset_RSRP_1, Offset_SINR_1, and Offset_RSRQ_1 may be the same or different.

[0281] The final measurement result of LP-RSSI = LP-RSSI measurement value + / - Offset_RSSI_1; the final measurement result of LP-RSRP = LP-RSRP measurement value + / - Offset_RSRP_1; the final measurement result of LP-SINR = LP-SINR measurement value + / - Offset_SINR_1; and the final measurement result of LP-RSRQ = LP-RSRQ measurement value + / - Offset_RSRQ_1.

[0282] Furthermore, the terminal device may compare the final measurement results of each measurement indicator with the second decision threshold associated with each measurement indicator. The method for determining the second decision threshold associated with each measurement indicator can refer to the description in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0283] Exemplarily, the second decision thresholds associated with each of the above-mentioned measurement indicators may include LP-RSSI_Threshold, LP-RSRP_Threshold, LP-SINR_Threshold, and LP-RSRQ_Threshold. The LP-RSSI_Threshold, LP-RSRP_Threshold, LP-SINR_Threshold, and LP-RSRQ_Threshold herein may be the same or different, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this. Based on this, the terminal device may compare the final measurement result of LP-RSSI with the LP-RSSI_Threshold to obtain a decision result of LP-RSSI; compare the final measurement result of LP-RSRP with the LP-RSRP_Threshold to obtain a decision result of LP-RSRP; compare the final measurement result of LP-SINR with the LP-SINR_Threshold to obtain a decision result of LP-SINR; and compare the final measurement result of LP-RSRQ with the LP-RSRQ_Threshold to obtain a decision result of LP-RSRQ.

[0284] In summary, the terminal device can adjust the measurement result of the first receiver based on the first bias parameter associated with its first receiver type to obtain an adjusted measurement result, and then make a decision on the adjusted measurement result based on the second decision threshold. In this way, errors in measurement performance of different types of first receivers can be compensated, achieving maximum compatibility with different types of first receivers and maintaining system stability.

[0285] In another possible implementation, in S120A, the terminal device performs a decision related to the signal measurement of the first receiver based on the first bias parameter and the second decision threshold, which can be implemented in the following manner:

[0286] The terminal device adjusts the second decision threshold based on the first bias parameter to obtain an adjusted second decision threshold;

[0287] The terminal device makes a decision on the measurement result of the first receiver based on the adjusted second decision threshold.

[0288] It is understandable that in this implementation, the terminal device may adjust the second decision threshold based on the first bias parameter associated with the first receiver type, and compare the adjusted second decision threshold with the actual measurement result of the first receiver to obtain a decision result.

[0289] Exemplarily, the adjusted second decision threshold is recorded as the final decision threshold, where the final decision threshold can be any one of the following:

[0290] Final decision threshold = second decision threshold + first bias parameter;

[0291] Final decision threshold = second decision threshold - first bias parameter;

[0292] Final decision threshold = second decision threshold + first bias parameter * scaling factor;

[0293] The final decision threshold = the second decision threshold - the first bias parameter * the scaling factor.

[0294] It should be noted that the value of the first bias parameter can be a positive number or a negative number, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0295] The scaling factor may be predefined or configured by a network device, and this embodiment of the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0296] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may compare the actual measurement result with the final decision threshold to obtain a decision result.

[0297] In some embodiments, when there are multiple measurement indicators, the terminal device can obtain a second decision threshold associated with each measurement indicator. Based on the first bias parameter corresponding to each measurement indicator, the terminal device can adjust the second decision threshold associated with each measurement indicator to obtain a final decision threshold for each measurement indicator. The method for determining the first bias parameter and the second decision threshold can be found in the description of the above embodiments and will not be further described here for the sake of brevity.

[0298] Exemplarily, the measurement indicators supported by the first receiver of the terminal device may include LP-RSSI, LP-RSRP, LP-SINR, and LP-RSRQ. The second decision threshold associated with each measurement indicator is LP-RSSI_Threshold, LP-RSRP_Threshold, LP-SINR_Threshold, and LP-RSRQ_Threshold, respectively. The first offset parameter associated with the type of the first receiver determined by the terminal device includes: Offset_RSSI_1, Offset_RSRP_1, Offset_SINR_1, and Offset_RSRQ_1. Offset_RSSI_1 is the first offset parameter corresponding to LP-RSSI, Offset_RSRP_1 is the first offset parameter corresponding to LP-RSRP, Offset_SINR_1 is the first offset parameter corresponding to LP-SINR, and Offset_RSRQ_1 is the first offset parameter corresponding to LP-RSRQ.

[0299] Here, Offset_RSSI_1, Offset_RSRP_1, Offset_SINR_1, and Offset_RSRQ_1 may be the same or different.

[0300] Among them, the final decision threshold of LP-RSSI = LP-RSSI_Threshold + / -Offset_RSSI_1; the final decision threshold of LP-RSRP = LP-RSRP_Threshold + / -Offset_RSRP_1; the final decision threshold of LP-SINR = LP-SINR_Threshold + / -Offset_SINR_1; and the final decision threshold of LP-RSRQ = LP-RSRQ_Threshold + / -Offset_RSRQ_1.

[0301] In actual applications, the terminal device can measure a specific reference signal (such as WUS, LP-SS, etc.) through a first receiver to obtain the LP-RSSI measurement value, LP-RSRP measurement value, LP-SINR measurement value, and LP-RSRQ measurement value of the specific reference signal.

[0302] Furthermore, the terminal device may compare the above measurement results of each measurement indicator with the actual decision threshold associated with each measurement indicator. Specifically, the terminal device may compare the LP-RSSI measurement value with the final decision threshold of LP-RSSI to obtain the LP-RSSI decision result; compare the LP-RSRP measurement value with the final decision threshold of LP-RSRP to obtain the LP-RSRP decision result; compare the LP-SINR measurement value with the final decision threshold of LP-SINR to obtain the LP-SINR decision result; and compare the LP-RSRQ measurement value with the final decision threshold of LP-SINR to obtain the LP-RSRQ decision result.

[0303] In summary, the terminal device can adjust the second decision threshold based on the first bias parameter associated with the first receiver type. The terminal device then compares the adjusted second decision threshold with the actual measurement result of the first receiver to determine a decision result. This compensates for measurement performance errors between different types of first receivers, achieving maximum compatibility with different types of first receivers and maintaining system stability.

[0304] In another possible implementation, in S120A, the terminal device performs a decision related to the signal measurement of the first receiver based on the first bias parameter and the second decision threshold, which can be implemented in the following manner:

[0305] The terminal device adjusts the second decision threshold based on the first bias parameter to obtain an adjusted second decision threshold, and adjusts the measurement result of the first receiver based on the first bias parameter to obtain an adjusted measurement result;

[0306] The terminal device makes a decision on the adjusted measurement result based on the adjusted second decision threshold.

[0307] It is understandable that in this implementation, the terminal device can adjust the actual measurement result of the first receiver and the second decision threshold based on the first bias parameter associated with the first receiver type, and compare the adjusted measurement result with the adjusted second decision threshold to obtain a decision result.

[0308] Exemplarily, the adjusted measurement result is recorded as the final measurement result, where the final measurement result can be any one of the following:

[0309] Final measurement result = actual measurement result + first bias parameter;

[0310] Final measurement result = actual measurement result - first bias parameter;

[0311] Final measurement result = actual measurement result + first bias parameter * scaling factor 1;

[0312] Final measurement result = actual measurement result - first bias parameter * scaling factor 1.

[0313] In addition, the adjusted second decision threshold is recorded as the final decision threshold, where the final decision threshold can be any one of the following:

[0314] Final decision threshold = second decision threshold + first bias parameter;

[0315] Final decision threshold = second decision threshold - first bias parameter;

[0316] Final decision threshold = second decision threshold + first bias parameter * scaling factor 2;

[0317] The final decision threshold = the second decision threshold - the first bias parameter * the scaling factor 2.

[0318] The scaling factor 1 and / or scaling factor 2 may be predefined or configured by the network device, which is not limited in the present embodiment. The scaling factor 1 and / or scaling factor 2 may be the same or different.

[0319] It should be noted that the manner in which the terminal device adjusts the actual measurement result based on the first bias parameter may be different from the manner in which the terminal device adjusts the second decision threshold based on the first bias parameter. For example, when the actual measurement result is adjusted based on the first bias parameter, such as when the final measurement result = the actual measurement result + the first bias parameter, the adjustment of the second decision threshold may be to adjust the second decision threshold using the first bias parameter and a scaling factor of 2, such as the final decision threshold = the second decision threshold + the first bias parameter * the scaling factor of 2.

[0320] In some embodiments, when there are multiple measurement indicators, the terminal device can obtain a second decision threshold associated with each measurement indicator. The terminal device can adjust the second decision threshold associated with each measurement indicator based on the first bias parameter corresponding to each measurement indicator to obtain a final decision threshold for each measurement indicator. The terminal device can also obtain an actual measurement result for each measurement indicator. The terminal device can adjust the actual measurement result of each measurement indicator based on the first bias parameter corresponding to each measurement indicator to obtain a final measurement result for each measurement indicator. In this way, the terminal device can obtain a decision result for each measurement indicator by comparing the final measurement result of each measurement indicator with the final decision threshold for each measurement indicator.

[0321] In summary, the terminal device can adjust the second decision threshold and the measurement result simultaneously based on the first bias parameter associated with the first receiver type. The terminal device then compares the adjusted second decision threshold with the adjusted measurement result to determine a decision result. This compensates for measurement performance errors between different types of first receivers, achieving maximum compatibility with different types of first receivers and maintaining system stability.

[0322] Method 2

[0323] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG4 , the communication processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps:

[0324] S120B: The terminal device makes a decision on the measurement result of the first receiver based on the first decision threshold.

[0325] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can obtain a first decision threshold associated with the type of its first receiver, and directly compare the actual measurement result of the first receiver with the determined first decision threshold to obtain a decision result.

[0326] It should be understood that in the above-mentioned method 1, different types of first receivers can be set with the same second decision threshold. The different types of first receivers can perform decisions related to signal measurement of the first receiver based on the second decision threshold and their associated first bias parameters.

[0327] In the second approach, there is no need to introduce first bias values ​​associated with each type of first receiver. Instead, the first decision threshold associated with each type of first receiver is explicitly configured for the terminal device through network device configuration and / or predefined methods. The terminal device does not need to perform bias processing. Instead, the actual measurement result of the first receiver can be directly compared with the first decision threshold associated with that type of receiver.

[0328] It should be noted that the manner in which the terminal device determines the first decision threshold associated with the type of its first receiver can refer to the description in the above embodiment, and for the sake of brevity, it will not be repeated here.

[0329] In some embodiments, when there are multiple measurement indicators, the terminal device may obtain a first decision threshold associated with each measurement indicator. The terminal device may compare the actual measurement result of each measurement indicator with the first decision threshold associated with each measurement indicator to obtain a decision result for each measurement indicator.

[0330] Exemplarily, the measurement indicators supported by the first receiver of the terminal device may include LP-RSSI, LP-RSRP, LP-SINR, and LP-RSRQ. Based on this, the first receiver of the terminal device can measure a specific reference signal (such as WUS, LP-SS, etc.) to obtain the LP-RSSI measurement value, LP-RSRP measurement value, LP-SINR measurement value, and LP-RSRQ measurement value of the specific reference signal. Among them, the terminal device determines that the first decision threshold associated with the type of the first receiver is LP-RSSI_Threshold1, LP-RSRP_Threshold1, LP-SINR_Threshold1, and LP-RSRQ_Threshold1, respectively.

[0331] Based on this, the terminal device can compare the LP-RSSI measurement value with LP-RSSI_Threshold1 to obtain the LP-RSSI judgment result; compare the LP-RSRP measurement value with LP-RSRP_Threshold1 to obtain the LP-RSRP judgment result; compare the LP-SINR measurement value with LP-SINR_Threshold1 to obtain the LP-SINR judgment result; compare the LP-RSRQ measurement value with LP-RSRQ_Threshold1 to obtain the LP-RSRQ judgment result.

[0332] In summary, the terminal device can obtain the first decision threshold associated with the type of its first receiver and compare the actual measurement result of the first receiver with the determined first decision threshold to obtain a decision result. This can compensate for measurement performance errors between different types of first receivers, achieving maximum compatibility with different types of first receivers and maintaining system stability.

[0333] Method 3

[0334] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG5 , the communication processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps:

[0335] S120C: The terminal device performs a decision related to the signal measurement of the first receiver based on the first decision threshold and the first bias parameter.

[0336] It should be understood that in embodiments of the present application, a terminal device may determine a first decision threshold and a first bias parameter associated with its first receiver type. The terminal device may also make decisions related to signal measurements of the first receiver based on the first decision threshold and the first bias parameter associated with its first receiver type. In other words, decisions related to signal measurements of first receivers of different types may be made based on their associated first decision thresholds and first bias parameters.

[0337] It should be noted that in the third embodiment of the present application, first receivers of different categories can adjust the signal measurement results of the first receivers based on the "first bias parameter" associated with the category to which they belong, and can also adjust the "first decision threshold" associated with the category to which the first receiver belongs. It is also possible to adjust both the signal measurement results of the first receiver and the "first decision threshold" associated with the category to which the first receiver belongs. In this way, the terminal device can perform a decision related to the signal measurement of the first receiver based on the adjusted measurement results and / or the adjusted first decision threshold.

[0338] In one possible implementation, in S120C, the terminal device performs a decision related to the signal measurement of the first receiver based on the first decision threshold and the first bias parameter, which can be implemented in the following manner:

[0339] The terminal device adjusts the measurement result of the first receiver based on the first bias parameter to obtain an adjusted measurement result;

[0340] The terminal device makes a decision on the adjusted measurement result based on the first decision threshold.

[0341] It is understandable that in this implementation, the terminal device may adjust the measurement result of the first receiver based on the first bias parameter associated with the type to which the first receiver belongs, and compare the adjusted measurement result with the first decision threshold associated with the type to which the first receiver belongs to obtain a decision result.

[0342] Among them, the way in which the terminal device adjusts the measurement result of the first receiver based on the first bias parameter associated with the type to which the first receiver belongs can refer to the description in method one, and for the sake of brevity, it will not be repeated here.

[0343] In an embodiment of the present application, a terminal device can adjust a measurement result of the first receiver based on a first bias parameter associated with the first receiver type to obtain an adjusted measurement result, and then make a decision on the adjusted measurement result based on a first decision threshold associated with the first receiver type. In this way, errors in measurement performance of different types of first receivers can be compensated, achieving maximum compatibility with different types of first receivers and maintaining system stability.

[0344] In another possible implementation, in S120C, the terminal device performs a decision related to the signal measurement of the first receiver based on the first decision threshold and the first bias parameter, which can be implemented in the following manner:

[0345] The terminal device adjusts the first decision threshold based on the first bias parameter to obtain an adjusted first decision threshold;

[0346] The terminal device makes a decision on the measurement result of the first receiver based on the adjusted first decision threshold.

[0347] It is understandable that in this implementation, the terminal device may adjust the first decision threshold associated with the type to which the first receiver belongs based on the first bias parameter associated with the type to which the first receiver belongs, and obtain a decision result by comparing the adjusted first decision threshold with the actual measurement result of the first receiver.

[0348] Exemplarily, the adjusted first decision threshold is recorded as the final decision threshold, where the final decision threshold can be any one of the following:

[0349] Final decision threshold = first decision threshold + first bias parameter;

[0350] Final decision threshold = first decision threshold - first bias parameter;

[0351] Final decision threshold = first decision threshold + first bias parameter * scaling factor;

[0352] Final decision threshold = first decision threshold - first bias parameter * scaling factor.

[0353] It should be noted that the value of the first bias parameter can be a positive number or a negative number, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0354] The scaling factor may be predefined or configured by a network device, and this embodiment of the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0355] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may compare the actual measurement result with the above-mentioned final decision threshold to obtain a decision result.

[0356] In summary, the terminal device can adjust the first decision threshold associated with the first receiver type based on the first bias parameter associated with the first receiver type. The terminal device then compares the adjusted first decision threshold with the actual measurement result of the first receiver to obtain a decision result. This compensates for measurement performance errors between different types of first receivers, achieving maximum compatibility with different types of first receivers and maintaining system stability.

[0357] In another possible implementation, in S120C, the terminal device performs a decision related to the signal measurement of the first receiver based on the first decision threshold and the first bias parameter, which can be implemented in the following manner:

[0358] The terminal device adjusts the first decision threshold based on the first bias parameter to obtain an adjusted first decision threshold, and adjusts the measurement result of the first receiver based on the first bias parameter to obtain an adjusted measurement result;

[0359] The terminal device makes a decision on the adjusted measurement result based on the adjusted first decision threshold.

[0360] It is understandable that in this implementation, the terminal device may adjust the actual measurement result of the first receiver and the first decision threshold associated with the type of the first receiver based on the first bias parameter associated with the first receiver type, and compare the adjusted measurement result with the adjusted first decision threshold to obtain a decision result.

[0361] It should be noted that the manner in which the terminal device adjusts the measurement result of the first receiver based on the first bias parameter associated with the type to which the first receiver belongs, and the manner in which the terminal device adjusts the first judgment result associated with the type to which the first receiver belongs based on the first bias parameter associated with the type to which the first receiver belongs can be referred to the description in the above embodiments. For the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated here.

[0362] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can adjust the first decision threshold and measurement result associated with the first receiver type based on the first bias parameter associated with the first receiver type. The terminal device then compares the adjusted first decision threshold with the adjusted measurement result to obtain a decision result. This compensates for measurement performance errors between different types of first receivers, enabling maximum compatibility with different types of first receivers and maintaining system stability.

[0363] In some embodiments, the first decision threshold and / or the first bias parameter may be used to perform one or more of the following:

[0364] Assisting the second receiver in making decisions related to RRM measurements;

[0365] Activation / deactivation of the first receiver monitoring;

[0366] Switching between a first receiver and a second receiver.

[0367] In a possible implementation, the first receiver may assist the second receiver in making decisions related to RRM measurements by using the first decision threshold and / or the first offset parameter.

[0368] Exemplarily, the co-frequency measurement criteria in the related art include: if the measurement result of the serving cell satisfies: Srxlev>SIntraSearchP and Squal>SIntraSearchQ, the terminal device may choose not to perform co-frequency measurement; otherwise, the terminal needs to perform co-frequency measurement. In one example, Srxlex and / or Squal in the above criteria can be replaced by the terminal device adjusting the actual measurement result of the first receiver based on the first bias parameter, and the adjusted measurement result obtained, SIntraSearchP and / or SIntraSearchQ can be replaced by the first decision threshold. In another example, Srxlex and Squal in the above criteria can be replaced by the actual measurement result of the first receiver, and SIntraSearchP and SIntraSearchQ in the above criteria are replaced by the decision threshold adjusted based on the first bias parameter.

[0369] It should be noted that, since RRM measurement results have many applications (such as cell selection, cell reselection, cell handover, etc.), similar reuse rules can be used in this embodiment, which will not be listed here one by one.

[0370] In another possible implementation, the terminal device may also activate / deactivate the monitoring of the first receiver by using the first decision threshold and / or the first bias parameter.

[0371] In one example, when the measurement result (based on the adjustment of the first bias parameter) is greater than / equal to the second decision threshold (based on the adjustment of the first bias parameter), the first receiver is activated to monitor the WUS; when the measurement result (based on the adjustment of the first bias parameter) is less than / equal to the second decision threshold (based on the adjustment of the first bias parameter), the first receiver is deactivated to monitor the WUS. Alternatively, when the measurement result (based on the adjustment of the first bias parameter) is less than / equal to the second decision threshold (based on the adjustment of the first bias parameter), the first receiver is activated to monitor the WUS; when the measurement result (based on the adjustment of the first bias parameter) is greater than / equal to the second decision threshold (based on the adjustment of the first bias parameter), the first receiver is deactivated to monitor the WUS.

[0372] In another example, when the measurement result of the first receiver is greater than or equal to a first decision threshold associated with the category to which the first receiver belongs, the first receiver is activated to monitor the WUS; when the measurement result of the first receiver is less than or equal to the first decision threshold associated with the category to which the first receiver belongs, the first receiver is deactivated to monitor the WUS. Alternatively, when the measurement result of the first receiver is less than or equal to the first decision threshold associated with the category to which the first receiver belongs, the first receiver is activated to monitor the WUS; when the measurement result of the first receiver is greater than or equal to the first decision threshold associated with the category to which the first receiver belongs, the first receiver is deactivated to monitor the WUS.

[0373] In another example, when the measurement result (based on the adjustment of the first bias parameter) is greater than / equal to the first decision threshold (based on the adjustment of the first bias parameter), the first receiver is activated to monitor the WUS; when the measurement result (based on the adjustment of the first bias parameter) is less than / equal to the first decision threshold (based on the adjustment of the first bias parameter), the first receiver is deactivated to monitor the WUS. Alternatively, when the measurement result (based on the adjustment of the first bias parameter) is less than / equal to the first decision threshold (based on the adjustment of the first bias parameter), the first receiver is activated to monitor the WUS; when the measurement result (based on the adjustment of the first bias parameter) is greater than / equal to the first decision threshold (based on the adjustment of the first bias parameter), the first receiver is deactivated to monitor the WUS.

[0374] In another possible implementation, the terminal device may also implement switching between the first receiver and the second receiver by using the first decision threshold and / or the first bias parameter.

[0375] In one example, when the measurement result (based on the first bias parameter adjustment) is greater than / equal to the second decision threshold (based on the first bias parameter adjustment), it indicates that the coverage performance of the first receiver is good, and the first receiver is used to monitor the WUS. When the measurement result (based on the first bias parameter adjustment) is less than / equal to the second decision threshold (based on the first bias parameter adjustment), it can be determined that the coverage of the first receiver is poor. At this time, it falls back to the legacy mechanism and does not start the mechanism for monitoring by the first receiver. Alternatively, when the measurement result (based on the first bias parameter adjustment) is less than / equal to the second decision threshold (based on the first bias parameter adjustment), the first receiver is used to monitor the WUS. When the measurement result (based on the first bias parameter adjustment) is greater than / equal to the second decision threshold (based on the first bias parameter adjustment), it falls back to the legacy mechanism and does not start the mechanism for monitoring by the first receiver.

[0376] In another example, when the measurement result of the first receiver is greater than / equal to the first decision threshold associated with the category to which the first receiver belongs, it indicates that the coverage performance of the first receiver is good, and the first receiver is used to monitor the WUS; when the measurement result of the first receiver is less than / equal to the first decision threshold associated with the category to which the first receiver belongs, it can be determined that the coverage of the first receiver is poor, and at this time, the mechanism falls back to the legacy mechanism, and the mechanism for monitoring by the first receiver is not activated. Alternatively, when the measurement result of the first receiver is less than / equal to the first decision threshold associated with the category to which the first receiver belongs, the first receiver is used to monitor the WUS; when the measurement result of the first receiver is greater than / equal to the first decision threshold associated with the category to which the first receiver belongs, the mechanism falls back to the legacy mechanism, and the mechanism for monitoring by the first receiver is not activated.

[0378] In summary, the communication processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application supports terminal devices to adopt different types of first receivers. For different types of first receivers, due to different measurement errors or different measurement accuracy, the terminal devices using different types of first receivers have different measurement results when measuring the signal of the same network device. In the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal device measures the signal of the network device and processes it based on the corresponding threshold value in combination with predefined criteria (such as RRM measurement, activation / deactivation of LP-WUS monitoring, switching of LP-WUR and MR monitoring wake-up signals, etc.), different types of first receivers can use their respective associated bias values ​​to adjust the measurement results and / or decision thresholds, and make decisions based on the adjusted measurement results and / or decision thresholds. It can be compatible with different types of first receivers to a great extent and maintain system stability.

[0379] The above text combines Figure 2 to describe in detail the communication processing method of an embodiment of the present invention from the perspective of the terminal. The following text combines Figure 6 to describe in detail the communication processing method of an embodiment of the present invention from the perspective of the network device. It should be understood that some of the steps executed by the network device may correspond to some of the steps executed by the terminal. For the sake of brevity, repeated descriptions are appropriately omitted below.

[0380] FIG6 shows a communication processing method provided by an embodiment of the present application, which may include:

[0381] S210. The network device sends first information to the terminal device, where the first information is used to indicate a first decision threshold and / or a first bias parameter associated with the type of the first receiver of the terminal device; the first decision threshold and / or the first bias parameter are used to perform a decision related to the signal measurement of the first receiver.

[0382] It can be understood that the network device can configure the first decision threshold and / or first bias parameter associated with the category to which the first receiver belongs for the terminal device.

[0389] In one possible implementation, the network device can configure one or more first bias parameters and / or one or more first decision thresholds associated with the type of the first receiver for each terminal device. The network device can obtain the type of the first receiver of the terminal device in advance, for example, by the terminal device reporting the type of its first receiver to the network device via capability information. Thus, the network device can configure one or more first bias parameters and / or one or more first decision thresholds associated with the type of the first receiver for each terminal device.

[0390] In another possible implementation, the network device may not need to obtain the type of the first receiver of each terminal device. Instead, the network device may configure one or more first bias parameters (i.e., first mapping relationships) and / or one or more first decision thresholds (second mapping relationships) associated with multiple types of first receivers for the terminal device. In this way, the terminal device can select one or more appropriate first bias parameters and / or one or more first decision thresholds based on the type of its first receiver, thereby making measurement-related decisions.

[0391] It should be noted that the third configuration information, the fourth configuration information, the fifth configuration information, and the sixth configuration information can be sent independently or simultaneously, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.
