The entities shown in FIG1 are illustrative only. The communication system may include all or part of the entities shown in FIG1 , or may include other entities outside of FIG1 . The number and form of the entities are arbitrary, and the entities may be physical or virtual. The connection relationships between the entities are illustrative only.

Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0207] In the communication system, non-terrestrial network (NTN) is an important technology in 5G. NTN can provide wireless resources through satellites (or drones) instead of ground base stations. Figure 2A is a schematic diagram of the framework of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) measurement system provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2A, the GNSS measurement system includes a terminal device, which can also be called user equipment (UE) or terminal, beam projection, service link, satellite, unmanned aircraft system (UAS) platform, feeder link, gateway, data network and satellite field of view. According to the different ways in which the satellite processes signals, it can be divided into transparent transmission mode and regeneration mode.

[0208] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 2B is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a transparent transmission mode provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2B, the NTN ground station transmits the signal from the next generation NodeB (gNB) to the satellite. The satellite converts the signal to the satellite frequency band and then transmits it to the UE via the satellite frequency band. Besides frequency conversion and signal amplification, the satellite does not demodulate the gNB signal. The satellite can be similar to a repeater. A 5G base station, called a gNB, provides the UE with a terminal node for the New Radio (NR) user and control plane protocols and is connected to the 5G core network (5GC) via the NG interface.

[0209] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 2C illustrates an example of a retransmission mode. As shown in Figure 2C, after the NTN ground station sends the gNB signal to the satellite, the satellite first demodulates and decodes the signal, then re-encodes and modulates it (a process known as regeneration), and transmits the regenerated signal via the satellite frequency band.

[0210] In some embodiments, users can intentionally select a suitable location to initiate calls or messages. However, using NTN paging as an example, users may experience poor reception conditions, resulting in missed calls and messages. This is particularly detrimental for public safety or emergency paging. This poor reception can occur when the terminal is placed in a pocket, backpack, vehicle, or boat, or in conditions with clutter loss.

[0211] In some embodiments, shadow fading and clutter loss in suburban and rural scenarios - Non Light of Sight (NLOS) caused by clutter loss can exceed 18 dB. In some embodiments, Line of Sight (NLOS) probabilities show that at an altitude of 30 degrees, approximately 10% of rural users and 50% of urban users will experience NLOS.

[0212] The following describes in detail a message monitoring method, apparatus, device, and storage medium provided by embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0213] FIG3A is an interactive diagram of a message monitoring method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG3A , the method may include the following steps:

[0214] Step S3101: The network device sends a paging message to the terminal;

[0215] In some embodiments, the names of information, etc. are not limited to the names described in the embodiments, and terms such as "information", "message", "signal", "signaling", "report", "configuration", "indication", "instruction", "command", "channel", "parameter", "domain", and "field" can be used interchangeably.

[0216] In some embodiments, "obtain", "get", "get", "receive", "transmit", "bidirectional transmission", "send and / or receive" can be interchangeable, and can be interpreted as receiving from other entities, obtaining from protocols, obtaining from higher layers, obtaining by self-processing, autonomous implementation, etc.

[0217] In some embodiments, terms such as "send", "transmit", "report", "download", "transmit", "bidirectional transmission", "send and / or receive" can be used interchangeably.

[0218] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the name of the paging message is not limited. The paging message may be called, for example, a paging robust notification message, a paging extension message, a paging notification message, etc.

[0219] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a paging message may, for example, be used to indicate terminal movement. After the network device determines that the current link quality is lower than a threshold, the network device may send a paging enhanced notification message to the terminal. After the UE receives the paging robust notification message, it may move. During the movement of the terminal, the network device and / or the UE may determine the link quality. After the terminal moves to a position where the link quality is higher than the threshold, it may correctly receive a normal paging message. The terminal may determine the current link quality and notify the network device of the current link quality so that the network device may determine the current link quality. The link quality may be measured in a variety of ways, such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), RSRP, etc.

[0220] In the case where the network device is a satellite in an NTN, for example, the terminal's movement can refer to the relative movement between the terminal and the network device, i.e., it can be either terminal movement or network device movement. Because some satellites are asynchronous, after a certain period of waiting, even when the terminal is relatively stationary, the relative position of the network device and the terminal may change. Specifically, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a paging message can, for example, be used to instruct a terminal to wait for a first period of time before listening for or receiving a paging message.

[0221] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the network device may send first configuration information to the terminal, wherein the first configuration information is used to configure at least one of a first offset value offset1 and a second offset value offset2, wherein the same-frequency cell selection reception level value Srxlev (Cell selection RX level value) is greater than or equal to the first offset value offset1, and the same-frequency cell selection quality value Squal (Cell selection quality value) is greater than or equal to the second offset value offset2. The first offset value offset1 may, for example, be an offset value corresponding to the same-frequency cell selection reception level value Srxlev in the enhanced cell selection criteria. The first in the first offset value is only used to distinguish from the other offset values ​​and does not specifically refer to a fixed offset value. The second offset value may, for example, be an offset value corresponding to the same-frequency cell selection quality value Squal in the enhanced cell selection criteria.

[0222] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the network device may send second configuration information to the terminal, wherein the second configuration information is used to configure Q rxlevmin The enhanced cell selection criteria include the introduction of the first paging specific parameter in the Srxlev determination process, the minimum acceptable received signal strength Q in Srxlev rxlevmin Q is the first paging specific parameter rxlevmin The first paging specific parameter may be, for example, a first paging Robust notification specific parameter.

[0223] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the cell selection criterion includes: when the following conditions are met, the cell selection criterion S is met: Srxlev>0 and Squal>0.

[0224] The calculation formula of Srxlev can be, for example, as shown in formula (1): Srxlev=Q rxlevmeas –(Q rxlevmin +Q rxlevminoffset )–P compensation -Q offsettemp (1)

[0225] The calculation formula of Squal can be shown as formula (2): Squal=Q qualmeas –(Q qualmin +Q qualminoffset )-Q offsettemp (2)

[0226] in,

[0227] Among other things, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the signaled value Q is applied only when evaluating a cell for cell selection as a result of a periodic search for a higher priority PLMN. rxlevminoffset and Q qualminoffset During this periodic search for a higher priority PLMN, the terminal may check the S criterion of a cell using parameter values ​​stored from different cells in the higher priority PLMN.

[0228] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the enhanced cell selection criteria include introducing the paging specific parameter in the process of determining the cell selection reception level value Srxlev of the same frequency, and the minimum acceptable received signal strength Q in the cell selection reception level value Srxlev of the same frequency. rxlevmin The first paging-specific parameter Qrxlevmin .

[0229] Among them, the first paging specific parameter Q rxlevmin For example, it can be Q rxlevmin1 , the calculation formula of Srxlev can be shown as formula (3): Srxlev = Q rxlevmeas –(Q rxlevmin1 +Q rxlevminoffset )–P compensation -Q offsettemp (3)

[0230] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the enhanced cell selection criteria include introducing a second paging specific parameter in the determination process of the cell selection quality value Squal of the same frequency, and the cell selection parameter minimum quality standard Q in Squal is qualmin Q is the second paging specific parameter qualmin The network device may send third configuration information to the terminal, wherein the third configuration information is used to configure Q qualmin The paging specific parameter may also be a paging enhanced notification specific parameter, for example, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0231] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the Q of the second paging specific parameter qualmin For example, it can be Q qualmin1 The calculation formula of Squal can be shown as formula (4): Squal=Q qualmeas –(Q qualmin1 +Q qualminoffset )-Q offsettemp (4)

[0232] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the network device may send fourth configuration information to the terminal, wherein the fourth configuration information is used to configure at least one of the third offset value offset and the fourth offset value offset. The enhanced cell selection criteria include introducing a first paging-specific parameter in the Srxlev determination process. The terminal may determine Srxlev based on the third offset value offset of the first paging-specific parameter, for example, as shown in formula (5); the terminal may determine Srxlev based on the fourth offset value offset of the first paging-specific parameter, for example, as shown in formula (6). Srxlev = Q rxlevmeas –(Q rxlevmin +Q rxlevminoffset )–P compensation -Q offsettemp -Q offset (5) Srxlev=Qrxlevmeas –(Q rxlevmin +Q rxlevminoffset )–P compensation -Q offsettemp +Q offset (6)

[0233] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the network device may send fifth configuration information to the terminal, wherein the fifth configuration information is used to configure at least one of the fifth offset value offset and the sixth offset value offset. The enhanced cell selection criteria include introducing a second paging specific parameter in the determination process of the same-frequency cell selection quality value Squal. The terminal may determine Squal based on the fifth offset value offset of the second paging specific parameter, for example, as shown in formula (7); the terminal may determine Squal based on the sixth offset value offset of the second paging specific parameter, for example, as shown in formula (8). Squal=Q qualmeas –(Q qualmin +Q qualminoffset )-Q offsettemp -Q offset (7) Squal=Q qualmeas –(Q qualmin +Q qualminoffset )-Q offsettemp +Q offset (8)

[0234] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the network device may send sixth configuration information to the terminal, where the sixth configuration information is used to configure a frequency for receiving paging messages.

[0235] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, an enhanced cell selection criterion includes Srxlev>0 and Squal>0, where Srxlev can be determined, for example, by formula (3), (5), or (6), and Squal can be determined, for example, by formula (4), (7), or (8). The enhanced cell selection criterion can be, for example, a selection criterion obtained by adjusting the cell selection criterion of some embodiments.

[0293] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one of a fourth cell with the strongest signal and a cell whose signal quality meets a fourth signal quality requirement is selected from the cells configured for paging, and a cell storing valid system information is selected from the cells configured for paging; and at least one of a fourth cell with the strongest signal and a cell whose signal quality meets the fourth signal quality requirement is selected from the cells storing valid system information.

[0294] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, selecting at least one of the fourth cell with the strongest signal and the cell whose signal quality meets the fourth signal quality requirement from the configured message transmission includes:

[0295] The cells configured for paging include multiple frequencies, and at least one of a fourth cell with the strongest signal among the high-priority frequencies and a cell with signal quality meeting a fourth signal quality requirement is selected from the configured message transmission.

[0296] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, selecting at least one of the fourth cell with the strongest signal and the cell whose signal quality meets the fourth signal quality requirement from the configured message transmission includes:

[0297] The configured message transmission includes multiple frequencies, and according to the second frequency priority, the fourth cell with the strongest signal in the high priority frequency and the cell whose signal quality meets the fourth signal quality requirement are selected from the configured message transmission.

[0298] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second frequency priority may be preset, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present disclosure. The second frequency priority may be used, for example, to determine the frequency priority of a fourth cell or a cell whose signal quality meets a fourth signal quality requirement. The second frequency priority does not specifically refer to a fixed frequency priority. The second in the second frequency priority is used to distinguish it from the remaining frequency priorities.

[0299] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, if the cells configured for paging include multiple frequencies, the terminal may, based on the second frequency priority, preferentially select the cell with the strongest signal on the high-priority frequency, or a cell whose signal quality meets the fourth signal quality requirement, to monitor for robust notifications. The terminal may also simultaneously determine whether valid system information for the cell is stored. If the signal quality of the cell with the strongest signal on the frequency does not meet the requirement or no cell signal quality meets the requirement, the terminal may select the cell with the strongest signal on the lower-priority frequency, or a cell that meets the signal quality requirement, to monitor for robust notifications, and so on.

[0300] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the cell signal quality is measured according to at least one of the following: a system synchronization block SSB of the cell; and a robust notification signal.

[0301] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the cell signal quality is measured according to the system synchronization block SSB of the cell.

[0302] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the cell signal quality is measured according to a robust notification signal.

[0303] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the cell determined for receiving the paging message can be, for example, a third cell with the strongest signal selected from cells that store valid system information of the cell where the terminal is located and support paging messages, or a cell that meets the third signal quality requirement.

[0304] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, cells storing valid system information are on different frequencies, and a third cell with the strongest signal or a cell that meets a third signal quality requirement is selected from cells that store valid system information of the cell where the terminal is located and support paging messages according to frequency priority.

[0305] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, frequency priority can be used to determine the frequency priority of a third cell or a cell that meets a third signal quality requirement. This frequency priority does not specifically refer to a fixed frequency priority. For example, when the method for determining frequency priority changes, the frequency priority can also change accordingly. This frequency priority can, for example, be the third frequency priority.

[0306] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the frequency priority may be determined according to implementation; the frequency priority may also be determined according to the frequency priority of the last server cell configuration.

[0307] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, if cells storing valid system information are on different frequencies, the terminal may determine the frequency priority based on implementation or based on the frequency priority configured by the last serving cell, and select the cell with the strongest signal or the cell with signal quality that meets the requirements on one frequency to monitor paging messages.

[0308] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the frequency determined for receiving the paging message may be the frequency of the serving cell.

[0309] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the frequency determined for receiving the paging message may be, for example, the frequency of the last serving cell.

[0310] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the frequency determined for receiving the paging message may be a frequency corresponding to a neighboring cell of at least one of the serving cell and the last serving cell.

[0311] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the frequency determined for receiving the paging message may be, for example, a frequency configured by the network device.

[0312] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the frequency for receiving paging messages is determined to be a frequency configured by the network device, and sixth configuration information sent by the network device is received, wherein the sixth configuration information is used to configure the frequency for receiving paging messages.

[0313] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the frequency for receiving paging messages is determined to be the frequency configured by the network device, and the sixth configuration information sent by the network device is received through at least one of the following, wherein the sixth configuration information is used to configure the frequency for receiving paging messages: system message; dedicated signaling.

[0314] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the sixth configuration information is further used to configure at least one of the following: effective duration; effective area.

[0315] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the frequency is at least one of the following: an absolute radio channel number (ARFCN) value, wherein the ARFCN value is at least one of a center frequency, an upper boundary frequency, and a lower boundary frequency; or an ARFCN value plus a bandwidth configuration value.

[0316] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the frequency is an absolute radio channel number (ARFCN) value, wherein the ARFCN value is at least one of a center frequency point, an upper boundary frequency point, and a lower boundary frequency point.

[0317] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the frequency is the ARFCN value plus the bandwidth configuration value.

[0318] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the sixth configuration information is further used to configure at least one sub-frequency band within the same frequency band, and the at least one sub-frequency band is used to monitor paging messages.

[0319] Step S3103: The terminal monitors a paging message in at least one of a frequency and a cell.

[0320] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the frequency determined for receiving the paging message can be, for example, the frequency corresponding to the serving cell and the neighboring cell of at least one cell in the last serving cell, and the paging message is detected on the frequency, where the frequency is the center frequency.

[0322] The communication method involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps S3101 to S3103. For example, step S3101 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, step S3102 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, and steps S3102 and S3103 may be implemented as independent embodiments, but are not limited thereto.

[0343] In some embodiments, the network can configure the paging robust notification specific offset through system messages or dedicated signaling. For UEs that support paging robust notification, this specific parameter is used. For example:

[0345] where Q offset The offset specific to paging Robust notification.

[0346] In some embodiments, a paging robust notification specific offset may be added to or subtracted from the calculation formula in Squal.
