[0023] This disclosure provides an information processing method, a communication device, a communication system, and a storage medium.

[0024] In a first aspect, embodiments of this disclosure propose an information processing method executed by a terminal, the terminal supporting a first transceiver and a second transceiver, the method comprising: determining a first state of the terminal, and performing a first measurement relaxation using the first transceiver; wherein the period of the first measurement relaxation is greater than or equal to the period of a second measurement relaxation; the second measurement relaxation is a measurement performed by the terminal using the second transceiver in the second state, the second measurement relaxation satisfying a good cell quality criterion and / or a low mobility criterion.

[0025] In the above embodiments, the terminal supporting the first transceiver (i.e., low-power receiver) and the second transceiver can configure itself into a first state, such that the period of the first measurement relaxation performed by the terminal using the first transceiver in the first state is higher than or equal to the period of the second measurement relaxation performed by the second transceiver in the second state. That is, the degree of relaxation of the behavior in the first state can be higher than or equal to the degree of relaxation of the behavior in the second state. In this way, the behavior of the terminal in the first state can be clearly defined, and the occurrence of contradictions between the degree of relaxation of the terminal in the second state, i.e., the state after the terminal meets the low mobility criterion and / or the good cell quality criterion, and other states can be reduced.

[0026] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, performing a first measurement relaxation includes at least one of the following: performing measurement relaxation on the serving cell based on a first period, the first period being greater than or equal to a first multiple of a second period; stopping measurement on co-frequency and / or inter-frequency cells with a first priority; and performing measurement relaxation on co-frequency and / or inter-frequency cells with a second priority based on a third period, wherein the third period is the same as the period of the second measurement relaxation, or the third period is a predetermined value, or the third period is greater than or equal to a first multiple of the second period.

[0027] In the above embodiments, the degree of relaxation of the first measurement relaxation in the first state was determined in a variety of ways, thereby realizing the determination of the diversity of behavior in the first state.

[0028] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes: receiving first information sent by a network device, wherein the first information is used by a terminal to determine that it will use a first transceiver to perform a first measurement relaxation in a first state.

[0029] In the above embodiments, the terminal can be determined to use the first transceiver to perform the first measurement relaxation in the first state by network indication, which facilitates the determination of the terminal's first state according to network requirements.

[0030] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes: determining a first state of the terminal based on a second state of the terminal, wherein the threshold of the first state is the same as the threshold of the second state.

[0031] In the above embodiments, the terminal can enhance the second state to the first state. This allows for the definition or redetering of the measured relaxation level in the second state, which is relatively high. This reduces the contradictory situation where the terminal's relaxation level in the second state is not as high as in case 3. Here, the threshold for case 3 is lower than the threshold for the second state; and while a lower threshold should ideally correspond to a lower relaxation level, the phenomenon of case 3 having a higher relaxation level than the second state necessitates enhancing the measured relaxation behavior in the second state to increase the relaxation level.

[0032] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes at least one of the following: determining a condition for entering a first state; wherein the condition for entering the first state includes at least one of the following: lower than a condition for entering a third state, higher than a condition for entering a fourth state, and the same as a condition for entering a second state; the threshold of the third state is higher than the threshold of the second state, and the threshold of the fourth state is lower than the threshold of the second state.

[0033] In the above embodiments, the conditions for a terminal to enter the first state can be clearly defined. For example, it can be a condition lower than the third state (i.e., case 1) and a condition higher than the fourth state (i.e., case 3), or the conditions for entering the second state (i.e., mobility criteria and / or good cell quality criteria) can be reused (i.e., the conditions for entering the first state are the same as the conditions for entering the second state). In this way, on the one hand, the relationship between the threshold of the first state and the thresholds of other states can be clearly defined, which makes it easier for the terminal to accurately determine whether to enter the first state; on the other hand, it also allows the terminal to flexibly enter the first state, improving the diversity of determining whether to enter the first state.

[0034] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes: receiving second information sent by a network device, wherein the second information is used to indicate the conditions for the terminal to enter the first state.

[0035] In the above embodiments, the conditions for entering the first state can be determined by network instructions, which facilitates network management of the terminal.

[0036] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, determining the conditions for entering the first state includes: determining the conditions for entering the first state based on protocol agreements.

[0037] In the above embodiments, the conditions for entering the first state can be determined through protocol agreement, thereby achieving a unified standard.

[0038] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the conditions for entering the second state are the same, including at least one of the following: satisfying the good cell quality criterion; satisfying the low mobility criterion.

[0039] In the above embodiments, the threshold of the first state can be the same as the threshold of the second state, so that the second state can be defined as the first state, and the behavior in the second state can be enhanced.

[0040] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes at least one of the following: entering the first state when the terminal is in the fourth state and the conditions of the first state are met; entering the third state when the terminal is in the first state and the conditions of the third state are met.

[0041] In the above embodiments, the behavior after determining the first state can be clearly defined, and the second behavior in the second state can be enhanced.

[0042] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes: receiving third information sent by a network device, wherein the third information is used to indicate one of the following: the terminal supports configuring a first state, wherein the terminal configures a fourth state; the terminal supports not configuring the first state, wherein the terminal does not configure the fourth state and configures the third state.

[0043] In the above embodiments, if the terminal is configured with a fourth state (i.e., case 3), there will be a contradictory situation where the relaxation level of case 3 is higher than that of the original second state. Therefore, if a fourth state is configured, a first state must also be configured to reduce the possibility of this contradictory situation. Alternatively, if the terminal is not configured with a fourth state (i.e., case 3) but is configured with a third state (i.e., case 1), then case 3 no longer exists, meaning the contradictory situation of case 3 being higher than that of the original second state will not occur. Therefore, a first state does not need to be configured; since a first state does not need to be configured, energy saving can be achieved.

[0044] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes: determining a first state of the terminal based on a third state of the terminal; wherein, determining the first state of the terminal based on the third state of the terminal includes: modifying the conditions for entering the third state to be the same as the conditions for entering the second state.

[0045] In the above embodiments, the third state can be enhanced to the first state, that is, the threshold of the third state can be lowered, which is beneficial for the third state to include the original second state, thereby reducing the contradictory situation that the relaxation degree of case 3 is higher than the relaxation degree of the original second state.

[0046] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes: receiving fourth information sent by a network device, the fourth information being used to indicate that the threshold of the third state is the same as the threshold of the second state.

[0047] In the above embodiments, the threshold of the third state is the same as the threshold of the second state, which can realize that the third state includes the second state.

[0048] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes: determining not to perform a second measurement relaxation and / or enter the third state when the terminal is in a fourth state and the third state is satisfied.

[0049] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes: determining a first state of the terminal based on a fourth state of the terminal; wherein, determining the first state of the terminal based on the fourth state of the terminal includes: modifying the conditions for entering the fourth state to satisfy the conditions for entering the fourth state and the conditions for entering the second state.

[0050] In the above embodiments, the fourth state can be enhanced to the first state, so that the relaxation level of case 3 is consistent with the original second state, thereby reducing the contradictory situation where the relaxation level of case 3 is higher than the relaxation level of the original second state.

[0051] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes: determining that the terminal performs at least one of the following measurement relaxations in the fourth state: performing measurement relaxation on the serving cell based on a fourth cycle, wherein the fourth cycle is greater than or equal to a second multiple of the second cycle; the second multiple is greater than or equal to a first multiple; stopping measurement on the serving cell; stopping measurement on co-frequency and / or inter-frequency cells of the first priority.

[0052] In the above embodiments, the determination of the enhanced fourth state as the first state can be flexibly implemented in various ways.

[0053] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes: when the terminal is not configured with a first state, entering a third state based on the terminal being in a fourth state and satisfying the third state.

[0054] In the above embodiments, by not configuring the first state, the states of case3 and case1 can be made adjacent (i.e., the original second state can be ignored), thereby reducing the contradictory situation where the relaxation level of case3 is higher than that of the original second state.

[0055] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method includes: determining that the terminal supports the capability of a first state; determining that the terminal's support for the first state is a portion of the capability of supporting a first transceiver.

[0056] In the above embodiments, determining that the terminal supports the first state facilitates the successful configuration of the first state for the terminal.

[0059] In conjunction with some embodiments of the second aspect, in some embodiments, the first information is used by the terminal to determine the first state based on the second state, and the method further includes: sending the second information to the terminal, wherein the second information is used to indicate the conditions for the terminal to enter the first state.

[0060] In conjunction with some embodiments of the second aspect, in some embodiments, the condition for entering the first state includes at least one of the following: lower than the condition for entering the third state, higher than the condition for entering the fourth state, or the same as the condition for entering the second state; the threshold of the third state is higher than the threshold of the second state, and the threshold of the fourth state is lower than the threshold of the second state.

[0105] In some embodiments, two measurement relaxation triggering conditions are introduced: one is a decision condition based on the stationary or low mobility criterion, and the other is a decision condition based on the non-cell edge or good cell quality criterion. Both measurement relaxation triggering conditions are evaluated based on the measurement results of the serving cell. UEs that meet the criteria can perform relaxed Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements on neighboring cells; this relaxed measurement can be a measurement with an extended measurement period.

[0106] In some embodiments, RRM measurements of idle or inactive inter-frequency neighboring cells are configured with frequency priority. Measurements for relatively high-priority frequency layers may include one of the following: Srxlev>S nonIntraSearchP And Squal>S nonIntraSearchQ At this time, the UE performs a relatively high-priority frequency layer search; Srxlev≤S nonIntraSearchP and Squal≤S nonIntraSearchQ In this case, the UE performs measurements on all carriers (i.e., regardless of priority). Alternatively, a high-priority relaxation switch can be defined, and when the switch is configured, the UE performs relaxation measurements on relatively higher-priority frequency layers when the measurement relaxation conditions are met.

[0107] In some embodiments, the criteria for stationary or low-mobility status are: within a certain time period (T) SearchDeltaP If the difference between the reference received signal quality and the UE's current RSRP is less than a certain preset threshold (S... SearchDeltaP If the signal change is small, the UE can be considered stationary or in a low-mobility state. The decision condition is: (SrxlevRef - Srxlev). SearchDeltaP Where Srxlev = Srxlev of the current serving cell, in dB; SrxlevRef = Srxlev reference value of the current serving cell, in dB. Set as follows: The UE selects or reselects a new cell; (Srxlev - SrxlevRef > 0); in T SearchDeltaP The decision criteria were not met. SrxlevRef is the reference received signal strength of the current serving cell, in dB.

[0108] In some embodiments, the criteria for not being at the cell edge or having good cell quality are: if the UE's current Srxlev is greater than the threshold value S searchThresholdP And Squal is greater than the threshold value S searchThresholdQ (If configured), the UE is considered to meet the criteria of not being at the cell edge or having good cell quality. The decision condition is: Srxlev > S searchThresholdP And Squal>S searchThresholdQ ​(If configured); where Srxlev is the signal reception strength of the current serving cell, in dB; Squal is the signal reception quality of the current serving cell, in dB.

[0109] In some embodiments, the cell reselection mechanism defines the following threshold (first threshold) to control whether to measure neighboring cells (i.e., perform a second action or enter a second state):

[0110] The RRM measurement condition for co-frequency neighboring cells in idle or inactive mode is: the serving cell satisfies Srxlev > S. IntraSearchP And Squal>S IntraSearchQ The terminal does not perform co-frequency neighbor cell measurements;

[0111] Frequency priority is configured for RRM measurements of inter-frequency neighboring cells in idle or inactive states; if Srxlev > S nonIntraSearchP And Squal>S nonIntraSearchQ At this time, the UE only performs high-priority measurements, and no measurements are required for mid- and low-frequency frequencies.

[0112] In addition, in the second line, the terminal does not perform any measurements on the serving cell.

[0113] In some embodiments, a separate low-power wake-up receiver (LP-WUR) is introduced to receive power-saving signals (e.g., low-power wakeup signal (LP-WUS)). For example, in idle state, the UE listens for wake-up signals sent by the base station through the low-power receiver. If the UE receives the wake-up signal, it will enable the paging physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) listening function of the main receiver (MR); or, if no wake-up signal is received, the UE will not enable the main receiver.

[0114] In some embodiments, UEs supporting LP-WUR introduce a new measurement reference signal, such as a Low Power Synchronization Signal (LP-SS). LP-WUR performs measurements on the LP-SS to ensure synchronization. When the UE is in idle or inactive state, it can perform RRM measurements of the serving cell based on the LP-SS. In this case, the MR measurement may be fully offloaded to the LR (i.e., case 1) or partially offloaded to the LR (i.e., case 3), in which case the MR is performing relaxed measurements. The cases where the MR is performing relaxed measurements are shown in Table 1 below.

[0115] RRM Measurement Index MR service cell measurement MR Neighbor Cell Measurement LR measurement Case 1: Uninstall all closure Disable all measurements except for high-priority measurements. Open Case 3: Partial uninstallation Start relaxation measurement Start relaxation measurement Open

[0116] Table 1

[0117] In case 3, the measurement period for both the serving cell and neighboring cells was relaxed by a factor of 16. In case 1, however, the serving cell measurement was completely disabled. Therefore, case 1's measurement is the most relaxed, and thus requires a higher threshold. For example, consider the following discussion:

[0118] If such a configuration exists, the corresponding threshold(s) of entry condition for serving cell RRM offloading should be higher than the threshold(s) of entry condition for R19 RRM relaxation (serving cell relaxation and neighboring cell relaxation). This should be documented in the field description. Details will be discussed in the running CR.

[0119] The threshold for the MR-based entry condition for serving cell RRM offloading should be higher than or equal to the threshold for stopping neighboring cell RRM measurements, which is the maximum of {SIntraSearchP, SnonIntraSearchP}. This is documented in the field description. Details will be discussed in the run CR. IntraSearchP ,S nonIntraSearchP}.Capture this in the field description.Details will be discussed in the running CR.).

[0120] That is, the threshold of case 1 needs to be configured to be higher than that of case 3, and the threshold of case 1 must be higher than the first threshold S in the previous embodiment. IntraSearchP and S nonIntraSearchP Furthermore, the threshold for case 3 must be lower than the first threshold S. IntraSearchP or S nonIntraSearchP If the terminal simultaneously meets the first threshold but not the threshold in case 1, then the terminal will enter the second action (i.e., it does not stop measuring the cell, but performs the measurement relaxation mentioned in the second action for high-priority measurements). Figure 1B As shown, from right to left, there are several states: case 1, S criterion, case 3, traditional RRM relaxation, and non-RRM relaxation. In case 1, serving cell measurement is not enabled; specifically, non-high-priority measurements are disabled, and high-priority measurements are relaxed. In the S criterion state, serving cell measurement is not relaxed; specifically, non-high-priority measurements are disabled (i.e., measured), and high-priority measurements are relaxed. In case 3, LP-WUS is enabled; serving cell measurement is relaxed; both non-high-priority and high-priority measurements are relaxed. In the traditional RRM relaxation state, LP-WUS is disabled; serving cell measurement is enabled; both non-high-priority and high-priority measurements are relaxed. The non-RRM relaxation state is non-relaxed measurement. Figure 1BAs shown, compared to case 3, the S-criteria state (i.e., the second state) is less relaxed regarding the serving cell, thus creating a contradiction. Here, the S-criteria can also be called the first criterion, the low mobility criterion, the stationary criterion, or the good cell quality criterion.

[0121] In some embodiments, relaxation measurement can be a measurement of relaxation, or a measurement of relaxation can be a relaxation measurement.

[0122] In some embodiments, the UE can be a terminal, or the terminal can be a UE.

[0123] like Figure 2 This is an interactive schematic diagram illustrating an information processing method according to an embodiment of this disclosure. For example... Figure 2 As shown, this disclosure relates to an information processing method for a communication system 100, the method comprising:

[0124] Step S2101: The network device sends the first information to the terminal.

[0125] In some embodiments, the terminal receives first information sent by the network device.

[0126] Optionally, the terminal supports a first transceiver and a second transceiver.

[0127] Optionally, the first information is used to support the terminal of the first transceiver in determining the first state of the terminal. For example, the first transceiver may be LP-WUS as described in the previous embodiments.

[0128] For example, the first transceiver may listen for or receive a wake-up signal; the wake-up signal is used to wake up the second transceiver of the terminal.

[0129] For example, the wake-up signal can be any type of low-power wake-up signal or low-power saving signal. For example, the wake-up signal can be a low-power wake-up signal (LP WUS) or a DCP signal, etc. For example, the name of the wake-up signal is not limited, and it can be, for example, a low-power saving signal, a low-power wake-up signal, or a low-power wake-up signal, etc.

[0130] For example, the first transceiver may be a standalone transceiver; and / or, the second transceiver may be the master transceiver.

[0131] For example, the first transceiver and the second transceiver may have the function of simultaneously receiving and transmitting; or, the first transceiver and the second transceiver may only have the function of receiving.

[0132] For example, the power consumption of the first transceiver is less than that of the second transceiver. This less power consumption of the first transceiver can mean that the power consumed by the first transceiver in receiving and / or transmitting information is less than the power consumed by the second transceiver in receiving and / or transmitting information. For instance, the first transceiver consumes less power to decode each signal compared to the second transceiver decoding the same signal.

[0133] For example, the structure of the first transceiver is very simple compared to the structure of the second transceiver.

[0134] For example, the first transceiver may be a first receiver; and / or, the second transceiver may be a second receiver.

[0135] For example, the first transceiver is a secondary transceiver; the second transceiver is the primary transceiver. The secondary transceiver is used to assist the primary transceiver in receiving and / or sending information.

[0136] Optionally, the first information is used by the terminal to determine the terminal's first state.

[0137] Optionally, the first information is used by the terminal to determine a first action of the terminal in a first state. Here, the first action of the terminal in the first state includes: the terminal using a first transceiver to perform a first measurement relaxation in the first state.

[0138] Optionally, the first information is used by the terminal to determine whether to use the first transceiver to perform a first measurement relaxation in the first state.

[0139] Optionally, the first relaxation measurement period is greater than or equal to the second relaxation measurement period.

[0140] Optionally, the second measurement relaxation is a measurement performed by the terminal using the second transceiver in the second state, and the second measurement relaxation satisfies the good cell quality criterion and / or the low mobility criterion. Here, the second behavior of the terminal in the second state may include: the second terminal performing the second measurement relaxation using the second transceiver in the second state.

[0141] Optionally, a first measurement relaxation may be performed, including at least one of the following: performing measurement relaxation on the serving cell based on a first period, where the first period is greater than or equal to a first multiple of the second period; ceasing measurement on co-frequency and / or inter-frequency cells with a first priority; and performing measurement relaxation on co-frequency and / or inter-frequency cells with a second priority based on a third period, wherein the third period is the same as the period of the second measurement relaxation, or the third period is a predetermined value, or the third period is greater than or equal to a first multiple of the second period. Here, the second period is the measurement period when no measurement relaxation is performed.

[0142] Optionally, a first measurement relaxation may be performed, including at least one of the following: stopping the same-frequency measurement; stopping the different-frequency measurement with a first priority; or performing a measurement relaxation on the different-frequency measurement with a second priority, wherein the third period is the same as the period of the second measurement relaxation, or the third period is a predetermined value, or the third period is greater than or equal to a first multiple of the second period.

[0143] For example, the first state can be the state of the S criterion in the previous embodiment; or, the first state can be the state between the case1 state and the case3 state; the first state can be a part of the case1 state or a part of the case3 state.

[0144] For example, the condition for entering the first state is higher than the condition for entering case 3, and / or the condition for entering the first state is lower than the condition for case 1. That is, the threshold for the first state is higher than the threshold for case 3, and / or the threshold for the first state is lower than the threshold for case 1.

[0145] For example, the degree of relaxation in the first state is higher than that in case 3, and / or the degree of relaxation in the first state is lower than that in case 1. Here, the degree of relaxation is positively correlated with the size of the measurement period; and / or, the degree of relaxation is related to whether relaxation is measured, for example, the degree of relaxation when relaxation is measured is higher than the degree of relaxation when relaxation is not measured.

[0146] For example, the first multiple can be 16 times or greater than 16 times, etc.

[0147] For example, the first priority is lower than the second priority. The first priority can refer to low to medium priority, and the second priority can refer to high priority; low to medium priority and high priority can be relative.

[0148] For example, the relaxation criteria for the second behavior in the second state can be used for the first relaxation measurement, which may refer to the relaxation measurement using the S criterion. For example, it could be relaxation for 1 minute, 10 minutes, or 1 hour, etc.

[0149] For example, the second measurement relaxation satisfies the good cell quality criterion and / or low mobility criterion. For instance, for co-frequency neighboring cells, if the received signal strength (Srxlev) of the current serving cell is greater than a threshold value S... searchThresholdP And Squal is greater than the threshold value S searchThresholdQ If the signal strength (Srxlev) of the current serving cell is greater than the threshold value S, then the terminal will not perform measurements of neighboring cells on the same frequency. For example, for neighboring cells on different frequencies, if the signal strength (Srxlev) of the current serving cell is greater than the threshold value S... searchThresholdP And Squal is greater than the threshold value S searchThresholdQInter-frequency measurements at the first priority level are stopped, while measurements are performed on neighboring cells at the second priority level.

[0150] For example, the preset value can be 1 minute, 10 minutes, or 1 hour, or it can be any value. For instance, the preset value can be set for the relaxation measurement period of a second-priority same-frequency or different-frequency measurement.

[0151] Optionally, the degree of relaxation in the first state is higher than or equal to the degree of relaxation in the second state.

[0152] Optionally, the degree of relaxation of the first behavior in the first state is higher than or equal to the degree of relaxation of the second behavior in the second state.

[0153] Optionally, the name of the first information is not limited, and it may be, for example, the first message, the first status indication information, the terminal status indication information, or the terminal status indication, etc.

[0154] In some embodiments, “get,” “obtain,” “receive,” “transmit,” “send and / or receive” can be used interchangeably and can be interpreted as receiving from other entities, obtaining from protocols, obtaining from higher layers, obtaining through self-processing, or autonomously implementing, among other meanings.

[0155] In some embodiments, terms such as “send,” “transmit,” “report,” “distribute,” “transfer,” “bidirectional transmission,” “send and / or receive” can be used interchangeably.

[0156] In some embodiments, the names of information, etc., are not limited to the names described in the embodiments. Terms such as "information", "message", "signal", "signaling", "report", "configuration", "indication", "instruction", "command", "channel", "parameter", "domain", "field", "symbol", "bit", and "data" can be used interchangeably.

[0157] In some embodiments, terms such as "certain", "preset", "specified", "default", "set", "indicated", "a certain", "any", and "first" can be used interchangeably. "Certain A", "preset A", "specified A", "default A", "set A", "indicated A", "a certain A", "any A", and "first A" can be interpreted as A pre-defined in a protocol or the like, or as A obtained through setting, configuration, or instruction, or as specific A, specified A, a certain A, any A, or first A, but are not limited thereto.

[0158] In some embodiments, the determination or judgment can be made by a value represented by 1 bit (0 or 1), or by a true or false value (boolean), or by a comparison of numerical values ​​(e.g., a comparison with a predetermined value), but is not limited thereto.

[0159] In step S2102, the terminal determines its ability to support the first state.

[0160] In some examples, the terminal determines that it supports the capability of a first state. Here, the terminal introduces a separate capability to support the first state.

[0161] In some embodiments, the terminal determines that its support for the first state is a subset of its support for the first transceiver. Here, if the terminal supports the first transceiver (e.g., LP-WUS), then the terminal necessarily supports the first state.

[0162] In some embodiments, step S2102 may be performed before or after step S2101, or may be performed simultaneously with step S2101.

[0163] In step S2103, the terminal determines the first state. Optionally, the terminal supports the first transceiver.

[0164] In some embodiments, the terminal defines a first state. Optionally, the terminal configures the first state. Optionally, the terminal introduces a first state.

[0165] In some embodiments, the terminal determining the first state may include one of the following: the enhanced terminal's second state is the first state; the enhanced terminal's third state is the first state; or the enhanced terminal's fourth state is the first state. Here, the relaxation level of the third behavior in the third state is higher than the relaxation level of the second behavior in the second state. The threshold of the third state is higher than the threshold of the second state; and the threshold of the second state is higher than the threshold of the fourth state.

[0166] In some alternative embodiments, the terminal determines a first state of the terminal and performs a first measurement relaxation using a first transceiver.

[0167] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the first state of the terminal based on the second state of the terminal, wherein the threshold of the first state is the same as the threshold of the second state.

[0168] Optionally, the terminal determines the second state of the enhanced terminal as the first state. The threshold of the first state can be the threshold of the second state (e.g., S in the above embodiment). IntraSearchP S nonIntraSearchP wait).

[0169] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the conditions for entering the first state and / or the conditions for exiting the first state.

[0170] Optionally, the conditions for entering the first state are lower than the conditions for entering the third state. Here, the threshold for the third state is higher than the threshold for the second state.

[0171] For example, the third state can be the state of case 1 in the previous embodiment; the condition for entering the first state is that the signal reception strength and / or signal reception quality of the current serving cell is greater than the threshold of case 1; the threshold of case 1 can be greater than or equal to the first threshold (e.g., S). IntraSearchP S IntraSearchQ S nonIntraSearchP and / or S nonIntraSearchQ wait).

[0172] For example, if the terminal is in the third state and meets the conditions for entering the first state, the terminal enters the first state.

[0173] Optionally, the conditions for entering the first state are more stringent than the conditions for entering the fourth state. Here, the threshold for the fourth state is lower than the threshold for the second state.

[0174] For example, the fourth state can be state 3 in the previous embodiment; the condition for entering the first state is that the signal reception strength and / or signal reception quality of the current serving cell is higher than the threshold of state 3; the threshold of state 3 can be less than or equal to the first threshold (e.g., S). IntraSearchP S IntraSearchQ S nonIntraSearchP and / or S nonIntraSearchQ wait).

[0175] For example, if the terminal is in the fourth state and meets the conditions for entering the first state, the terminal enters the first state.

[0176] Optionally, the conditions for entering the first state are the same as those for entering the second state. That is, the conditions for entering the first state are reused from the conditions for entering the second state.

[0177] Optionally, the conditions for entering the first state are the same as those for entering the second state, including at least one of the following: the conditions for entering the first state satisfy the good cell quality criterion; the conditions for entering the first state satisfy the low mobility criterion. Here, the low mobility criterion can also be the stationary criterion. If the conditions for entering the first state are the same as those for entering the second state, then for terminals supporting LP-WUS, the first action is performed (first measurement relaxation based on the first transceiver), while for terminals not supporting LP-WUS, the second action is performed (second measurement relaxation based on the second transceiver). Thus, although the signal quality conditions are the same, two different actions are defined based on different terminal types. This improves the flexibility of energy-saving operation.

[0178] For example, satisfying the good cell quality criterion could be: the signal reception strength of the current serving cell is greater than a threshold, and / or, the signal reception quality of the current serving cell is greater than a threshold. For instance, if the serving cell satisfies: Srxlev > S IntraSearchP And Squal>S IntraSearchQ Then the terminal determines that it enters the first state. For example, if the serving cell satisfies: Srxlev > S nonIntraSearchP And Squal>S nonIntraSearchQ If so, the terminal will determine that it has entered the first state.

[0179] For example, the threshold for entering the first state can be greater than or equal to: S intraSearchP or S nonintraSearchP or S intraSearchQ or S nonintraSearchQ The maximum value of S. intraSearch It may include S IntraSearchP and / or S IntraSearchQ S nonintraSearch It may include S nonIntraSearchP and / or S nonIntraSearchQ Among them, S IntraSearchP For the same frequency level threshold or threshold; S IntraSearchQ For same-frequency measurement signal quality threshold; S nonIntraSearchP For different frequency or different system level thresholds or thresholds; S nonIntraSearchQ This is the threshold for measuring signal quality in different frequencies or different systems.

[0180] For example, satisfying the low mobility criterion can be: the difference between the reference signal received strength (e.g., SrxlevRef) of the current serving cell and the signal received strength (e.g., Srxlev) of the serving cell is less than a threshold value within a predetermined time period. SearchDeltaP ​For example, when (SrxlevRef - Srxlev). SearchDeltaP If so, the terminal is determined to enter the first state.

[0181] Optionally, the terminal determines the conditions for entering the first state based on the protocol agreement.

[0182] For example, the protocol can be any communication protocol, or it can be a protocol negotiated between the terminal and the network device.

[0183] For example, the protocol stipulates at least one of the following: the condition for entering the first state is lower than the condition for entering the third state; the condition for entering the first state is higher than the condition for entering the fourth state; the condition for entering the first state is the same as the condition for entering the second state; the terminal can determine the condition for the first state based on the protocol stipulations.

[0184] Optionally, the conditions for the terminal to exit the first state are: it is currently in the first state and meets the conditions for entering the third state, or it is currently in the first state and meets the conditions for entering the first state.

[0185] Optionally, the terminal determines the conditions for exiting the first state based on the protocol agreement.

[0186] For example, the protocol stipulates at least one of the following: the condition for exiting the first state is that the current state is in the first state and the conditions for entering the third state are met; the condition for exiting the first state is that the current state is in the first state and the conditions for entering the first state are met; the terminal can determine the conditions of the first state based on the protocol stipulations.

[0187] In some alternative embodiments, the network device sends a second message to the terminal.

[0188] In some alternative embodiments, the terminal receives second information sent by the network device.

[0189] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the conditions for entering the first state and / or the conditions for exiting the first state based on the second information.

[0190] Optionally, the second information is used to indicate the conditions for the terminal to enter the first state and / or exit the first state.

[0191] Optionally, the second information is used by the terminal to determine the conditions for entering the first state and / or exiting the first state.

[0192] Optionally, the second information used to indicate the conditions for the terminal to enter the first state includes at least one of the following: lower than the conditions for entering the third state, higher than the conditions for entering the fourth state, or the same as the conditions for entering the second state.

[0193] ​Optionally, the second information is used to indicate the conditions for the terminal to exit the first state, including one of the following: currently in the first state and meeting the conditions for entering the third state, or currently in the first state and meeting the conditions for entering the first state.

[0194] Optionally, the name of the second information is not limited; for example, it may be called conditional indication information or a second message.

[0195] In some alternative embodiments, the network device sends third information to the terminal. Here, the second state used by the terminal to enhance the terminal is the first state.

[0196] In some alternative embodiments, the terminal receives third information sent by the network device. Here, the second state used by the terminal to enhance the terminal is the first state.

[0197] Optionally, the third information is used to indicate whether the terminal supports the first state.

[0198] Optionally, the third information is used to indicate one of the following: the terminal supports configuring a first state, wherein the terminal configures a fourth state; the terminal supports not configuring a first state, wherein the terminal does not configure a fourth state and configures a third state. Here, when the terminal does not configure a fourth state and configures a third state, the third information can also be used to indicate that the terminal configures a first state.

[0199] Optionally, if the terminal is configured with a fourth state, the terminal also supports configuring a first state. For example, if the terminal is configured with state 3, then the terminal is configured with state 1. In this case, there might be a conflict where the relaxation level of state 3 is higher than the original relaxation level of state 2, therefore the second state needs to be upgraded to state 1. Optionally, if the terminal is not configured with a fourth state but is configured with state 3, the terminal may or may not configure state 1. Because state 3 does not exist in this case, there is no conflict where the relaxation level of state 3 is higher than the original relaxation level of state 2, therefore it is not necessary to upgrade state 2 to state 1 (i.e., it is not necessary to define state 1).

[0200] Optionally, if the first state is not configured or is introduced, for terminals supporting LP-WUS, even if the conditions for entering the second state are met, the second relaxation measurement will no longer be performed. That is, for terminals supporting LP-WUS, it will be determined whether the conditions of case 3 or case 1 are met. In this case, there are only two state decisions: case 3 or case 1. Compared with the method of introducing the first state, this is simpler and more convenient.

[0201] Optionally, the name of the third information is not limited, and it may be, for example, the first state configuration indication information.

[0202] In some embodiments, the terminal determines its first state based on its third state. Optionally, determining the first state based on the third state includes: the terminal modifying the conditions for entering the third state to be the same as the conditions for entering the second state.

[0203] Optionally, the terminal determines that the third state of the enhanced terminal is the first state. For example, determining that the third state of the enhanced terminal is the first state includes: the conditions for determining the third state are reused from the conditions of the second state.

[0204] For example, such as Figure 1B As shown, the state of case 1 is shifted to the right so that the state of case 1 includes the state of criterion S. For example, if the terminal meets the conditions of the good cell quality criterion and / or the mobility criterion, the terminal can enter the third state. Here, the threshold of the third state can be lowered so that the third state can include, for example, the state of criterion S. Figure 1B The state of the S criterion is shown.

[0205] Optionally, the first state can be a substate of the third state. Here, the third state includes the second state.

[0206] In some alternative embodiments, the network device sends a fourth piece of information to the terminal. Here, the terminal is used to enhance the third state to the first state.

[0207] In some alternative embodiments, the terminal receives fourth information sent by the network device. Here, the terminal is used to enhance the third state to the first state.

[0208] Optionally, the fourth information is used to indicate that the threshold of the third state is the same as the threshold of the second state.

[0209] Optionally, the fourth information is used by the terminal to determine that the threshold for the third state is the same as the threshold for the second state.

[0210] Optionally, the name of the fourth piece of information is not limited, and it may be, for example, threshold indication information.

[0211] Optionally, the terminal determines the threshold of the third state as the threshold of the second state, such as the first threshold in the previous embodiment.

[0212] Optionally, after the terminal determines that the enhanced third state is the first state, the terminal's behavior as a third terminal remains unchanged, that is, it can still execute the third behavior.

[0213] In some embodiments, the terminal determines a first state based on a fourth state of the terminal. Optionally, determining a first state based on a fourth state of the terminal includes: the terminal modifying the conditions for entering the fourth state to satisfy both the conditions for entering the fourth state and the conditions for entering the second state.

[0214] Optionally, the terminal determines that the fourth state of the enhanced terminal is the first state. For example, determining that the fourth state of the enhanced terminal is the first state includes: determining that the fourth behavior in the fourth state includes at least one of the following: the relaxation measurement period of the serving cell is greater than or equal to a first multiple of the measurement period, or the serving cell stops measuring; and measurements at the same frequency and / or different frequency with the first priority stop. For example, the first multiple is equal to or greater than 16.

[0215] For example, such as Figure 1B As shown, the state of case 3 is shifted to the left so that the state of case 3 includes the state of criterion S. For example, if the terminal meets the conditions of the good cell quality criterion and / or the mobility criterion, the terminal can enter the fourth state.

[0216] Optionally, the first state can be a substate of the fourth state. Here, the fourth state includes the first state.

[0217] Optionally, the terminal determines that it performs at least one of the following measurement relaxations in the fourth state: performing measurement relaxation on the serving cell based on a fourth cycle, where the fourth cycle is greater than or equal to a second multiple of the second cycle; the second multiple is greater than or equal to a first multiple; stopping measurement on the serving cell; or stopping measurement on co-frequency and / or inter-frequency cells with the first priority. Here, the fourth action determined by the terminal in the fourth state may include at least one of the above measurement relaxations performed by the terminal in the fourth state.

[0218] Optionally, if the terminal enhances the terminal's fourth state to the first state; if the signal quality is higher than the threshold, then the measurement of the serving cell is relaxed (possibly greater than or equal to 16 times) or the measurement of the serving cell is stopped; if the signal quality is higher than the threshold, then the measurement of medium and low priority levels is stopped.

[0219] For example, when Srxlev>S nonIntraSearchP And Squal>S nonIntraSearchQ At this time, the master receiver (MR) is expected to perform relaxed higher-priority frequency layer measurements using K2*Thigher_priority_search and K2=60. “Thigher_priority_search” indicates the periodic time parameters for searching high-priority inter-system / inter-frequency cells.

[0220] For example, when Srxlev>S nonIntraSearchP And Squal>S nonIntraSearchQ At that time, it is expected that MR will not be measured for frequency layers of equal and low priority.

[0221] When Srxlev>S nonIntraSearchP And Squal>S nonIntraSearchQUnder the condition that the requirements for higher priority, equal priority, and lower priority carriers are the same: apply 16 times T detect,NR_Inter, T measure,NR_Inter andT evaluate,NR_Inter .

[0222] When Srxlev>S IntraSearchP And Squal>S IntraSearchQ Under certain conditions, the service application should be measured at a relaxation factor of 16 times or higher.

[0223] When the conditions of case 3 are met, apply a relaxation factor of 16 times or higher to the serving cell for measurement.

[0224] Optionally, the state of case 3 can be further enhanced by distinguishing thresholds, specifically those exceeding a threshold (e.g., S). nonIntraSearchP S nonIntraSearchQ Further relaxation is achieved by prioritizing high-frequency relaxation for up to one hour; below the threshold, a lower level of relaxation is used, such as a 16x relaxation factor. Here, a 16x relaxation factor means using a 16x relaxation factor for measurement.

[0225] Optionally, the state of case 3 can be further enhanced by distinguishing thresholds, specifically those exceeding a threshold (e.g., S). nonIntraSearchP S nonIntraSearchQ When the threshold is reached, measurements of carriers of equal and lower priority are stopped; below the threshold, a lower degree of relaxation is used, such as a relaxation factor of 16 times.

[0226] Optionally, the state of case 3 can be further enhanced by distinguishing thresholds, specifically those exceeding a threshold (e.g., S). IntraSearchP S IntraSearchQ When the threshold is reached, the frequency measurement stops. Below the threshold, a lower level of relaxation is used, such as a relaxation factor of 16 times.

[0227] In one embodiment, the state of case 3 is further enhanced by distinguishing thresholds. The relaxation level of the serving cell can also be distinguished by a threshold, i.e., above a threshold (e.g., S). IntraSearchP S IntraSearch When the threshold is reached, a higher relaxation factor of 16 times is used for measurement; below the threshold, a lower relaxation level is used, such as a relaxation factor of 16 times.

[0228] In one embodiment, the relaxation level of the serving cell can be further differentiated into thresholds in case 3, i.e., a 16x relaxation factor can be applied for measurement.

[0229] The above embodiments can be used in combination.

[0230] This method avoids introducing new state definitions and is simpler and more convenient than the previous method of introducing a first state.

[0231] Step S2104: The terminal determines the behavior after configuring the first state.

[0232] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the first state of the terminal based on the second state of the terminal; the terminal enters the first state when the terminal is in the fourth state and the conditions of the first state are met; and / or, the terminal enters the third state when the terminal is in the first state and the conditions of the third state are met.

[0233] Optionally, the terminal determines the first state of the terminal based on the second state of the terminal; the terminal is in the fourth state and determines whether the conditions for entering the first state are met; if the conditions for entering the first state are met, the terminal enters the first state.

[0234] For example, the terminal determines the first state of the terminal based on the second state of the terminal; if the terminal is in the fourth state (i.e., the state of case 3), and it is determined that the signal reception strength of the current serving cell is greater than the threshold of the fourth state (i.e., the threshold of case 3) and / or the signal reception quality of the current serving cell is greater than the threshold of the fourth state, then it is determined that the conditions for entering the first state are met and the terminal enters the first state.

[0235] Optionally, the terminal determines its first state based on its second state; the terminal is in the first state and determines whether the conditions for entering the third state are met; if the conditions for entering the third state are met, the terminal enters the first state.

[0236] For example, the terminal determines the first state of the terminal based on the second state of the terminal; if the terminal is in the first state and it is determined that the signal reception strength and / or signal reception quality of the current serving cell is greater than the threshold of the first state (or meets the threshold of the third state (i.e. the threshold of case 1)), then it is determined that the conditions for entering the third state are met and the terminal enters the third state.

[0237] In some embodiments, the terminal determines its first state based on its third state; if the terminal is in its fourth state and the conditions of the third state are met, the terminal determines not to perform the second measurement relaxation and / or enters the third state. Here, determining not to perform the second measurement relaxation may mean not performing the second action in the second state.

[0238] Optionally, the second measurement relaxation can be: performing measurement relaxation for co-frequency and / or inter-frequency cells with a second priority, and / or not performing measurements for co-frequency and / or inter-frequency cells with a first priority. The second measurement relaxation can be the absence of relaxation for the measurement cell under the S-criterion. For example, the second measurement behavior can be: not performing measurements for co-frequency and / or inter-frequency cells with a first priority, and / or performing measurement relaxation for inter-frequency cells with a second priority.

[0239] Optionally, the terminal determines its first state based on its third state; the terminal is in its fourth state and determines whether the conditions for entering the third state are met; if the conditions for entering the third state are met, the terminal enters the third state. Optionally, if the terminal determines that the conditions for entering the third state are met, it does not perform the second measurement action.

[0240] For example, the terminal determines the first state of the terminal based on the third state of the terminal; the terminal is in the fourth state (i.e., the state of case 3); if it is determined that the signal reception strength of the current serving cell is greater than the threshold of the third state (i.e., the threshold of case 1) and / or the signal reception quality of the current serving cell is greater than the threshold of the third state, then it is determined that the conditions for entering the third state are met and the terminal enters the third state.

[0241] For example, the terminal determines the first state of the terminal based on the third state of the terminal; if the terminal is normal or legacy, and meets the conditions of the second state, it enters the second state and performs the second measurement relaxation (i.e., performs the second behavior in the second state).

[0242] Step S2105: The terminal determines the behavior when the first state is not configured.

[0243] In some embodiments, the terminal does not configure a first state. Optionally, the terminal does not define a first state. Optionally, the terminal does not introduce a first state.

[0244] In some embodiments, if the terminal is not configured with a first state, it enters a third state based on the terminal being in a fourth state and satisfying the third state.

[0245] Optionally, if the terminal is not configured with a first state, and it is in a fourth state, it determines whether the conditions of the third state are met; if the conditions of the third state are met, it enters the third state.

[0246] Optionally, if the terminal is not configured with a first state, and it is in a third state, it determines whether the conditions for a fourth state are met; if the conditions for a fourth state are met, it enters the fourth state.

[0247] In some alternative embodiments, the case where the terminal is configured or not configured with a first state includes the following options:

[0248] Option 1: The terminal determines the enhanced second state as the first state (i.e., the terminal determines the first state based on the second state). The terminal enters the first state if it is in the fourth state and meets the conditions of the first state; and / or, if it is in the first state and meets the conditions of the third state, it enters the third state.

[0249] Option 2: The terminal determines that the first state is not configured. If the terminal is in the fourth state and the conditions of the third state are met, the terminal enters the third state; or, if the terminal is in the third state and the conditions of the fourth state are met, the terminal enters the fourth state.

[0250] Option 3: The terminal determines the enhanced third state as the first state (i.e., the terminal determines the first state based on the third state). If the terminal is in the fourth state and the third state condition is met, the terminal determines not to perform the second measurement relaxation and / or enter the third state.

[0251] Option 4: The terminal determines the enhanced fourth state as the first state (i.e., the terminal determines the first state based on the fourth state). The terminal enters the fourth state when it is in the third state and meets the requirements of the fourth state.

[0256] Figure 3 This is an interactive schematic diagram illustrating an information processing method according to an embodiment of this disclosure. For example... Figure 3 As shown, this disclosure relates to an information processing method for a communication system 100, the method comprising one of the following steps:

[0257] In step S3101, the network device sends first information to the terminal. The first information is used by the terminal to determine whether to use the first transceiver to perform a first measurement relaxation in a first state; wherein the period of the first measurement relaxation is greater than or equal to the period of the second measurement relaxation. Optionally, the terminal supports both the first and second transceivers.

[0264] In some embodiments, the conditions for entering the second state are the same as those for entering the second state, including at least one of the following: meeting the good cell quality criterion; meeting the low mobility criterion.

[0265] In some embodiments, the terminal receives second information sent by the network device, wherein the second information is used to indicate the conditions under which the terminal enters the first state.

[0270] In some embodiments, the terminal receives third information sent by the network device, wherein the third information is used to indicate one of the following: the terminal supports configuring a first state, wherein the terminal configures a fourth state; the terminal supports not configuring the first state, wherein the terminal does not configure the fourth state and configures the third state.

[0271] In some embodiments, the terminal determines a first state of the terminal, and the method further includes: determining the first state of the terminal based on a third state; wherein, determining the first state of the terminal based on the third state includes: modifying the conditions for entering the third state to be the same as the conditions for entering the second state.

[0278] In some embodiments, the terminal determines that the terminal supports a portion of the capabilities of the first transceiver, which are the capabilities of the terminal supporting the first state.

[0279] In some embodiments, the steps and their optional implementations in other embodiments described before or after this embodiment, as well as other related parts in the specification, can be referred to, and will not be repeated here.

[0280] The information processing method provided in this disclosure may include the following:

[0281] In some embodiments, for terminals that support LP-WUS, a first state is introduced; in the first state, the terminal behaves in at least one of the following ways (first behavior):

[0282] (1) The service area is more relaxed than case 3, possibly by more than 16 times;

[0283] (2) Stop same-frequency / different-frequency measurements (medium to low priority);

[0284] (3) High priority measurements may include at least one of the following: the original relaxation criteria may be followed, relaxation may be for 1 minute or 1 hour; it may be set directly to 1 hour; or it may be 16 times higher or higher.

[0285] In some embodiments, the network may be configured with conditions for entering and / or exiting a first state.

[0286] Optionally, the agreement stipulates that the conditions for entering the first state must be higher than the conditions for entering case 3.

[0287] Optionally, the agreement stipulates that the conditions for entering the first state must be lower than the conditions for entering case 1.

[0288] Optionally, if the signal quality is better after satisfying case 3, the terminal may further evaluate whether the first state is satisfied; if it is satisfied, the terminal may enter the first state.

[0289] Optionally, if the signal quality is better after satisfying the first state, the terminal may further evaluate whether case 1 is satisfied; if it is satisfied, then proceed to case 1.

[0290] In some embodiments, the protocol stipulates that the conditions for entering the first state are reused as the conditions for entering the second state, meaning that the network does not need to configure additional thresholds.

[0291] Optionally, the agreement stipulates that the condition for entering the first state is: the serving cell satisfies Srxlev>S IntraSearchP And Squal>S IntraSearchQ .

[0292] Optionally, the agreement stipulates that the condition for entering the first state is: the serving cell satisfies Srxlev>S nonIntraSearchP And Squal>S nonIntraSearchQ .

[0293] Optionally, the first state entry threshold = max(S) intraSearch S nonintraSearch ).

[0294] In some embodiments, the network can be configured to support the first state.

[0295] Optionally, if case3 is configured, the first state must also be configured.

[0296] Optionally, if the network is only configured with case 1, then there is no need to configure the first state.

[0297] In some embodiments, for the first state, the terminal introduces a separate support capability for the first state or incorporates the first state as an element of the LP-WUS support capability, that is, supporting LP-WUS necessarily means supporting the first state.

[0298] In some embodiments, for terminals supporting LP-WUS, even if the conditions for entering the second state are met, the second action will not be executed. Here, the second state and the associated second action refer to the existing protocol: if the serving cell Srxlev > S... IntraSearchP And Squal>S IntraSearchQ， The terminal does not perform co-frequency neighbor cell measurements or Srxlev>S nonIntraSearchP And Squal>S nonIntraSearchQWhen this happens, the UE only performs high-priority measurements, while measurements for mid- and low-frequency frequencies are not required; measurements of the serving cell will not be relaxed at this time.

[0299] If the protocol defines that the conditions for entering the first state are the same as the conditions for entering the second state, then for terminals supporting LP-WUS, the first action is performed, while for terminals not supporting LP-WUS, the second action is executed. Thus, although the signal quality conditions are the same, two different actions are defined based on different terminal types, improving the flexibility of power-saving operation.

[0300] In some embodiments, if the terminal is configured in case3 state, the signal quality becomes stronger, and it is possible to further consider whether the case1 condition is met; if the condition is met, the behavior of case1 is entered.

[0301] In some embodiments, if the first state is not introduced or the network is not configured with the first state, the terminal is configured with the case3 state, the signal quality becomes stronger, and the case1 condition can be further considered; if the condition is met, the behavior of case1 is entered.

[0302] Therefore, for terminals that support LP-WUS, even if the conditions for entering the second state are met, the second action will no longer be executed. That is, for terminals that support LP-WUS, it will determine whether the conditions of case 3 or case 1 are met. In other words, there are only two states to decide at this time, case 3 or case 1, which is simpler and more convenient than the method of introducing the first state mentioned above.

[0303] In some embodiments, if the network is configured as case 1, then the conditions for case 1 are reused to enter the second state.

[0304] Alternatively, no additional threshold needs to be configured for case 1 in the network.

[0305] Optionally, the network is configured with the same threshold value as in case 1 and the second state evaluation.

[0306] Optionally, if the terminal is configured in case 3 state, the signal quality becomes stronger, and the condition of case 1 can be further considered. If the condition is met, the behavior of case 1 is entered. At this time, for terminals supporting LP-WUS, even if the condition of the second state is met, the second behavior will not be executed, and the terminal will directly enter case 1. However, for traditional (egacy) terminals, the second behavior is still executed when the condition of the second state is met (i.e., directly entering case 1 from case 3, skipping the second state, similar to the above scheme). That is, at this time there are only two state decisions: case 3 or case 1, which is simpler and more convenient than the above method of introducing a first state.

[0307] In some embodiments, case 3 is enhanced by limiting the terminal to a greater degree of relaxation than the original case 3 if the same conditions of the first state or the second state are further met under the condition that case 3 is met.

[0308] Optionally, if the signal quality is above a threshold, the measurement of the serving cell is relaxed (possibly by more than 16 times) or the measurement of the serving cell is stopped.

[0309] Optionally, measurements of medium to low priority levels can be stopped if the signal quality is above a threshold.

[0310] For example, when Srxlev>S nonIntraSearchP And Squal>S nonIntraSearchQ At that time, it is expected that MR will perform relaxed higher-priority frequency layer measurements using K2*Thigher_priority_search and K2=60. “Thigher_priority_search” indicates the search for periodic time parameters of high-priority inter-system / inter-frequency cells.

[0311] For example, when Srxlev>S nonIntraSearchP And Squal>S nonIntraSearchQ At that time, it is expected that MR will not be measured for frequency layers of equal and low priority.

[0312] When Srxlev>S nonIntraSearchP And Squal>S nonIntraSearchQ Under the condition that the requirements for higher priority, equal priority, and lower priority carriers are the same: apply 16 times T detect,NR_Inter, T measure,NR_Inter andT evaluate,NR_Inter .

[0313] When Srxlev>S IntraSearchP And Squal>S IntraSearchQUnder certain conditions, the service application should be measured at a relaxation factor of 16 times or higher.

[0314] When the conditions of case 3 are met, apply a relaxation factor of 16 times or higher to the serving cell for measurement.

[0315] Optionally, the state of case 3 can be further enhanced by distinguishing thresholds, specifically those exceeding a threshold (e.g., S). nonIntraSearchP S nonIntraSearchQ Further relaxation is achieved by prioritizing high-frequency relaxation for up to one hour; below the threshold, a lower level of relaxation is used, such as a 16x relaxation factor. Here, a 16x relaxation factor means using a 16x relaxation factor for measurement.

[0316] Optionally, the state of case 3 can be further enhanced by distinguishing thresholds, specifically those exceeding a threshold (e.g., S). nonIntraSearchP S nonIntraSearchQ When the threshold is reached, measurements of carriers of equal and lower priority are stopped; below the threshold, a lower degree of relaxation is used, such as a relaxation factor of 16 times.

[0317] Optionally, the state of case 3 can be further enhanced by distinguishing thresholds, specifically those exceeding a threshold (e.g., S). IntraSearchP S IntraSearchQ When the threshold is reached, the frequency measurement stops. Below the threshold, a lower level of relaxation is used, such as a relaxation factor of 16 times.

[0318] In one embodiment, the state of case 3 is further enhanced by distinguishing thresholds. The relaxation level of the serving cell can also be distinguished by a threshold, i.e., above a threshold (e.g., S). IntraSearchP S IntraSearch When the threshold is reached, a higher relaxation factor of 16 times is used for measurement; below the threshold, a lower relaxation level is used, such as a relaxation factor of 16 times.

[0319] In one embodiment, the relaxation level of the serving cell can be further differentiated into thresholds in case 3, i.e., a 16x relaxation factor can be applied for measurement.

[0320] The above embodiments can be used in combination.

[0321] This method avoids introducing new state definitions and is simpler and more convenient than the previous method of introducing a first state.

[0322] In some embodiments, the above four options are discussed: Option 1: Introduce case 2, where the threshold of case 2 is the threshold of the S criterion; Option 2: Ignore the S criterion; Option 3: Reuse the threshold of the S criterion in case 1, but clarify the terminal's behavior, either entering case 1 or entering case 2; Option 4: Enhance case 3.
