Description

Mobility management methods, communication equipment, communication systems, storage media Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to mobility management methods, communication devices, communication systems, and storage media. Background Technology

[0002] In communication systems, terminals typically perform mobility operations, such as cell handover and primary / secondary cell (PSCell) changes. Optionally, terminals primarily base their mobility operations on measurement results (such as signal strength and location) of candidate cells. For example, if the signal strength of a candidate cell meets the conditions for a mobility operation, the terminal will determine to perform the operation. However, current mobility operation execution methods can only ensure that the cell the terminal accesses meets its signal strength or location requirements, but cannot guarantee that the cell meets its computing power requirements. This may result in the terminal being unable to complete its computing services, impacting user experience.

[0040] This disclosure provides a mobility management method, a communication device, a communication system, and a storage medium.

[0041] In a first aspect, embodiments of this disclosure propose a mobility management method, executed by a terminal, the method comprising:

[0042] Receive first configuration information, which is used to configure the computing power of at least one candidate cell and / or at least one candidate node;

[0043] The first cell and / or the first node are determined based on the computing power requirements and computing power capabilities of the terminal.

[0044] Mobility operations are performed based on the first cell or the first node.

[0045] In the above embodiments, the terminal receives first configuration information, which is used to configure the computing power capabilities of at least one candidate cell and / or at least one candidate node. Then, the terminal can determine a first cell and / or a first node based on its computing power requirements and the computing power capabilities of the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes. The first cell can be a cell that meets the terminal's computing power requirements, and the first node can be a node corresponding to a cell that meets the terminal's computing power requirements. Subsequently, the terminal performs mobility operations based on the first cell and / or the first node. Therefore, in the mobility management method of this disclosure, when the terminal performs mobility operations, it takes into account the computing power capabilities of the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes, thereby avoiding the terminal from accessing candidate cells that do not meet its computing power requirements. This ensures that the cell accessed after the terminal performs mobility operations can meet the terminal's computing power requirements, guaranteeing the successful execution of terminal computing power services and improving user experience. Furthermore, in the above embodiments, the network device can enable the terminal to access a candidate cell that meets its computing power requirements by configuring the computing power capabilities of candidate cells and / or candidate nodes to the terminal, without the terminal frequently updating and reporting its computing power requirements so that the network device can configure a candidate cell that meets its computing power requirements based on the terminal's computing power requirements, which can greatly reduce signaling overhead.

[0046] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the mobility operation includes at least one of the following:

[0047] Cell handover;

[0048] Changes to the PSCell in the primary and secondary cells;

[0049] Add to PSCell;

[0054] In the above embodiments, it is explained which operations mobility operations may specifically include, so that when the terminal performs these mobility operations, the computing power of candidate cells and / or candidate nodes can be taken into consideration. This can avoid the terminal accessing candidate cells that do not meet its computing power requirements, ensure that the cell accessed after the terminal performs mobility operations can meet the terminal's computing power requirements, guarantee the successful execution of terminal computing power services, and improve user experience.

[0067] The candidate cells;

[0068] The candidate nodes;

[0069] The second node is a network node other than the candidate node;

[0072] Internet upper-layer service OTT Server;

[0073] An external server, wherein the external server includes: a non-communication server associated with the candidate node or candidate cell that can provide computing resources.

[0074] In the above embodiments, it is explained what the computing power capabilities of candidate cells and / or candidate nodes may include, so that the terminal can successfully determine the first cell and / or the first node that meets the terminal's computing power requirements based on these computing power capabilities of candidate cells and / or candidate nodes, and perform mobility operations based on the first cell and / or the first node, so as to ensure that the cell accessed by the terminal after performing mobility operations can meet the terminal's computing power requirements, guarantee the successful execution of terminal computing power services, and improve user experience.

[0075] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first configuration information includes second configuration information corresponding to at least one candidate cell and / or candidate node, the second configuration information being used to configure one or more second execution conditions corresponding to at least one candidate cell and / or candidate node, the second execution conditions being related to the computing power capability of the candidate cell and / or candidate node.

[0076] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the second execution condition includes at least one of the following:

[0077] The computing power of the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes meets the computing power requirements of the terminal.

[0078] The computing power of the serving cell and / or serving node does not meet the computing power requirements of the terminal;

[0079] The computing power of the candidate cell and / or candidate node is greater than that of the serving cell and / or serving node.

[0080] The computing power requirement of the terminal is less than or equal to the amount of computing power resources that the serving cell and / or serving node can provide to the terminal;

[0081] The computing power requirement of the terminal is greater than or equal to the amount of computing power resources that the serving cell and / or serving node can provide to the terminal;

[0082] The computing power requirement of the terminal is less than or equal to the amount of computing power resources that the candidate cell and / or candidate node can provide to the terminal;

[0083] The computing power requirement of the terminal is greater than or equal to the amount of computing power resources that the candidate cell and / or candidate node can provide to the terminal;

[0084] The amount of computing resources that the candidate cell and / or candidate node can provide to the terminal is greater than the amount of computing resources that the serving cell and / or serving node can provide to the terminal by a first offset value.

[0085] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the second configuration information is further used to configure at least one of the following:

[0086] Condition identifiers corresponding to different second execution conditions;

[0087] Whether the computing power of the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes meets the computing power requirements of the terminal;

[0088] Whether the computing power of the serving cell and / or serving node meets the computing power requirements of the terminal;

[0091] The source of computing power resources for the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes;

[0092] The source of computing power resources for the service cell and / or service node.

[0093] In the above embodiments, it was explained what the first configuration information can specifically be used to configure. Optionally, the first configuration information can be used to configure a first execution condition and a second execution condition. The second execution condition can be related to the computing power of the candidate cell and / or candidate node. Both the first and second execution conditions can be used to trigger the terminal to perform mobility operations. When the terminal triggers a mobility operation based on the first and second execution conditions, it can consider not only the computing power of the candidate cell and / or candidate node based on the second execution condition, but also other dimensions of information (such as the terminal's signal strength) based on the first execution condition. This ensures that the cell accessed after the terminal performs the mobility operation can meet the terminal's needs in multiple dimensions, ensuring the accuracy of the mobility operation and guaranteeing the user experience. Furthermore, in the above embodiments, when the terminal considers the computing power of the candidate cell and / or candidate node based on the second execution condition, it can also determine whether the effective time and source of the candidate cell and / or candidate node's computing power resources meet the terminal's computing power requirements. This ensures that the computing power of the cell accessed after the terminal performs the mobility operation meets the terminal's computing power requirements in multiple aspects, thereby guaranteeing the accurate execution of the terminal's computing power services.

[0094] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the computing power of the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes meets the computing power requirements of the terminal, including at least one of the following:

[0095] The terminal has computing power requirements, and the candidate cell and / or candidate node support providing computing power resources for the terminal.

[0096] The terminal has no computing power requirement, and the candidate cell and / or candidate node support providing computing power resources for the terminal.

[0097] The terminal has no computing power requirement, and the candidate cell and / or candidate node do not support providing computing power resources for the terminal.

[0098] And / or, the computing power of the serving cell and / or serving node meets the computing power requirements of the terminal, including at least one of the following:

[0099] The terminal has computing power requirements, and the serving cell and / or serving node supports providing computing power resources to the terminal.

[0100] The terminal has no computing power requirement, and the serving cell and / or serving node support providing computing power resources for the terminal.

[0101] The terminal has no computing power requirement, and the serving cell and / or serving node do not support providing computing power resources to the terminal.

[0102] The above embodiments illustrate under what conditions the computing power of candidate cells, candidate nodes, serving cells, and serving nodes is considered to meet the computing power requirements of the terminal. This facilitates the terminal in successfully determining whether the computing power of at least one of the candidate cells, candidate nodes, serving cells, and serving nodes meets the terminal's computing power requirements. Consequently, the terminal can perform mobility operations based on candidate cells and / or candidate nodes that meet the computing power requirements, ensuring that the computing power of the candidate cells accessed by the terminal meets the terminal's computing power requirements, thereby guaranteeing the successful execution of the terminal's computing power services.

[0103] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes at least one of the following:

[0104] If the computing power of the candidate cell and / or candidate node is not within the effective time of the computing power resources of the candidate cell and / or candidate node, it is determined that the computing power capability of the candidate cell and / or candidate node does not meet the computing power requirements of the terminal.

[0105] If the terminal has computing power requirements outside the effective time of the computing power resources of the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes, it is determined that the computing power capabilities of the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes do not meet the computing power requirements of the terminal.

[0106] If the computing power of the serving cell and / or serving node is not within the effective time of the computing power resources of the serving cell and / or serving node, it is determined that the computing power capability of the serving cell and / or serving node does not meet the computing power requirements of the terminal.

[0107] If the terminal has computing power requirements outside the effective time of computing power resources of the serving cell and / or serving node, it is determined that the computing power capability of the serving cell and / or serving node does not meet the computing power requirements of the terminal.

[0108] If the computing power resources of the candidate cell and / or candidate node are not within their effective time, the amount of computing power resources that the candidate cell and / or candidate node can provide to the terminal is determined to be 0.

[0109] If the computing power resources of the serving cell and / or serving node are not available within the effective time period, it is determined that the amount of computing power resources that the serving cell and / or serving node can provide to the terminal is 0.

[0110] If the source of computing power resources of the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes does not meet the computing power source required by the terminal, it is determined that the computing power capability of the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes does not meet the computing power requirements of the terminal.

[0111] If the source of computing power resources of the serving cell and / or serving node does not meet the computing power source required by the terminal, it is determined that the computing power capability of the serving cell and / or serving node does not meet the computing power requirements of the terminal.

[0112] The source of computing power resources of the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes does not meet the computing power source required by the terminal, and it is determined that the amount of computing power resources that the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes can provide to the terminal is 0.

[0113] If the source of computing power resources of the serving cell and / or serving node does not meet the computing power source required by the terminal, it is determined that the amount of computing power resources that the serving cell and / or serving node can provide to the terminal is 0.

[0114] In the above embodiments, the terminal determines whether the computing power of the candidate cells, candidate nodes, serving cells, and serving nodes meets the terminal's computing power requirements based on the effective time of their computing power resources. It also determines the amount of computing power resources provided by the candidate cells, candidate nodes, serving cells, and serving nodes based on the source of their computing power resources. This allows the terminal to determine whether the computing power of the candidate cells, candidate nodes, serving cells, and serving nodes meets its computing power requirements based on the amount of computing power resources provided. In other words, the above embodiments provide a method for "how a terminal determines whether the computing power of the candidate cells, candidate nodes, serving cells, and serving nodes meets its computing power requirements based on the effective time and source of their computing power resources." This allows the terminal to comprehensively consider the effective time and source of computing power resources when performing mobility operations based on computing power capabilities, ensuring that the computing power capabilities of the candidate cells accessed by the terminal meet the terminal's computing power requirements in multiple aspects, thereby guaranteeing the accurate execution of the terminal's computing power services.

[0115] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, determining the first cell and / or the first node based on the computing power requirements of the terminal and the computing power capability includes:

[0116] At least one of the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes that meet the first execution condition is identified as the third cell and / or third node;

[0117] At least one of the third cells and / or third nodes that meets the second execution condition is identified as the fourth cell and / or fourth node;

[0118] The first cell and / or the first node are selected from at least one of the fourth cells and / or the fourth node.

[0119] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, determining the first cell and / or the first node based on the computing power requirements of the terminal and the computing power capability includes:

[0120] At least one of the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes that satisfy the first execution condition and the second execution condition is determined as the fifth cell and / or the fifth node;

[0121] The first cell and / or the first node are selected from at least one of the fifth cells and / or the fifth node.

[0122] In the above embodiments, it is explained how the terminal determines the first cell and / or the first node based on the computing power requirements and computing power capabilities, so that the terminal can successfully determine the first cell and / or the first node. Then, when the terminal performs mobility operations based on the first cell and / or the first node, it can ensure that the cell accessed after the terminal performs mobility operations can meet the terminal's computing power requirements, thus ensuring the successful execution of the terminal's computing power services and improving the user experience.

[0123] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0124] If no candidate cell and / or candidate node satisfy the second execution condition, wait for the candidate cell and / or candidate node to satisfy the second execution condition.

[0125] In the above embodiments, when neither the candidate cell nor the candidate node meets the second execution condition, it indicates that the computing power of the candidate cell and / or the candidate node does not meet the computing power requirements of the terminal. Therefore, the mobility operation can be suspended, and the terminal can wait for the candidate cell and / or the candidate node to meet the second execution condition. This can prevent the terminal from accessing a cell that does not meet the computing power requirements and avoid the situation where "the cell accessed by the terminal cannot meet the computing power requirements of the terminal, resulting in the inability of the terminal to complete the computing power service".

[0126] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0127] Send a first message to the network device, the first message indicating at least one of the following:

[0128] Does the terminal support artificial intelligence (AI) services?

[0129] Does the terminal support network devices providing computing resources to the terminal?

[0130] The types of computing resources that the terminal is interested in.

[0131] In the above embodiments, the first information sent by the terminal to the network device can be used to inform the network device whether the terminal supports AI services, whether the terminal supports the network device providing computing resources to the terminal, and the type of computing resources the terminal is interested in. Therefore, when the network device subsequently sends the first configuration information to the terminal, if the terminal does not support AI services and / or does not support the network device providing computing resources, it means that the terminal cannot receive the computing resources provided by the network device. That is, the network device cannot assist the terminal in performing computing services. In this case, the computing power of the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes is useless to the terminal. Therefore, the network device can avoid configuring the computing power of the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes using the first configuration information, thus avoiding unnecessary configuration of computing power and saving configuration resources. Furthermore, in the above embodiments, after determining the type of computing resources the terminal is interested in based on the first information, the network device can configure candidate cells that can provide the computing resources the terminal is interested in, so that the terminal can subsequently perform mobility operations in these candidate cells. This ensures that the computing resources provided by the access cell after the terminal's mobility operation are the computing resources the terminal is interested in, thus ensuring the accuracy of computing service execution.

[0132] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0133] Send a second message to the network device, the second message being used to indicate whether the terminal has the ability to evaluate the second execution condition.

[0134] In the above embodiments, the terminal can send second information to the network device. The second information is used to indicate whether the terminal has the ability to evaluate the second execution condition. When the terminal has the ability to evaluate the second execution condition, the network device will configure the second execution condition for the terminal. When the terminal does not have the ability to evaluate the second execution condition, the network device will not configure the second execution condition for the terminal. This avoids unnecessary configuration of the second execution condition and saves configuration resources.

[0135] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes at least one of the following:

[0136] The computing power requirement is determined based on the instructions from the terminal application layer.

[0137] The computing power requirement is determined based on the indication from the terminal non-access layer (NAS) layer.

[0138] The computing power requirement is determined based on the instructions from the NAS layer of the network device;

[0139] The computing power requirement is determined based on the instructions from the network device application (APP) layer.

[0140] The terminal autonomously determines the computing power requirement;

[0141] The computing power requirement is determined based on the agreement.

[0142] The computing power requirement is determined based on the terminal's own capabilities.

[0143] The above embodiments illustrate how the terminal determines its computing power requirements so that it can successfully determine its computing power requirements and subsequently perform mobility operations based on these requirements. This ensures that the cell the terminal accesses after performing mobility operations can meet the terminal's computing power requirements, guarantees the successful execution of the terminal's computing power services, and improves the user experience.

[0144] Secondly, embodiments of this disclosure provide a mobility management method, executed by a network device, the method comprising:

[0145] Send first configuration information, which is used to configure the computing power of at least one candidate cell and / or at least one candidate node.

[0385] Figure 2 is an interactive schematic diagram of a mobility management method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2, the present disclosure relates to a mobility management method for a communication system 100, the method comprising:

[0386] Step 2101: The terminal sends the first information to the network device.

[0387] Optionally, the first information may be used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0388] Does the terminal support artificial intelligence (AI) services?

[0389] Does the terminal support network devices providing computing resources to the terminal?

[0390] The types of computing resources that the terminal is interested in.

[0391] Optionally, the aforementioned "network device providing computing resources to the terminal" may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: network device providing computing resources for the terminal's services, network device providing read / write resources for the terminal's services, network device providing storage resources for the terminal's services, network device providing algorithm resources for the terminal's services, network device providing AI models for the terminal, network device assisting the terminal in performing AI model inference, network device assisting the terminal in performing AI training, network device assisting the terminal in performing AI verification, and network device distributing data related to the terminal's services to the terminal.

[0392] Optionally, the aforementioned computing resources may include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: computing resources, read / write resources, storage resources, algorithm resources, AI model-related resources, AI model inference-related resources, AI training-related resources, AI verification-related resources, and data distribution resources.

[0393] For example, the terminal may send first information to the network device through any one or more of the following: physical layer information, medium access control control element (MACCE), radio resource control (RRC) messages, and non-access (NAS) layer messages.

[0394] Step 2102: The terminal sends the second information to the network device.

[0395] Optionally, the second information can be used to indicate whether the terminal has the ability to evaluate the second execution condition. Optionally, the second execution condition can be related to the computing power of the terminal's candidate cells and / or candidate nodes. Optionally, the terminal can evaluate the computing power of the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes based on the second execution condition. In some embodiments, when the terminal determines that the computing power of the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes meets the second execution condition, it can be considered that the computing power of the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes meets the computing power requirements. Then, the terminal can subsequently perform mobility operations based on the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes that meet the computing power requirements, to ensure that the cells and / or nodes accessed after the terminal performs the mobility operation meet the terminal's computing power requirements, and to ensure that the terminal's computing power task can be successfully executed. Optionally, the mobility operation can include at least one of the following:

[0396] Cell handover;

[0397] PSCell changed;

[0398] Add to PSCell;

[0399] Conditional Handover (CHO);

[0400] Conditional primary and secondary cell addition / change (CPAC);

[0401] Layer 1 (L1) / Layer 2 (L2) triggered mobility (LTM);

[0402] Conditional Layer 1 / Layer 2 triggered mobility (CLTM)

[0403] Optionally, the above content only introduces the function of the second execution condition, without introducing what specific conditions the second execution condition includes. A detailed description of the "contents included in the second execution condition" will be provided in subsequent steps.

[0404] Optionally, the second execution condition can be configured by the network device. In some embodiments, the network device can configure the second execution condition based on the second information sent by the terminal. For example, when the network device determines based on the second information that the terminal has the ability to evaluate the second execution condition, the network device will configure the second execution condition for the terminal. When the network device determines based on the second information that the terminal does not have the ability to evaluate the second execution condition, the network device will not subsequently configure the second execution condition for the terminal. This avoids the situation where "the terminal does not have the ability to evaluate the second execution condition, but the network device has configured the second execution condition for the terminal," preventing unnecessary configuration of the second execution condition and saving configuration resources.

[0405] For example, a terminal can send second information to a network device through any one or more of physical layer information, MACCE, RRC messages, and NAS layer messages.

[0406] Step 2103: The network device sends the first configuration information to the terminal.

[0407] Optionally, the first configuration information can be used to configure the computing power of at least one candidate cell and / or at least one candidate node.

[0408] In some embodiments, the candidate cell may also be referred to as a non-serving cell, neighboring cell, target cell, candidate target cell, mobility candidate cell, cell corresponding to the candidate configuration, etc.

Optionally, the aforementioned "amount of computing power resources that can be provided to the terminal" can include at least one of the following: the maximum amount of computing power resources that the network device can provide to the terminal, and the minimum amount of computing power resources that the network device can provide to the terminal. For example, the threshold value for the maximum amount of computing power resources that the network device can provide to the terminal can be 100 Flops, and the threshold value for the minimum amount of computing power resources that the network device can provide to the terminal can be 50 Flops.

[0412] Optionally, the "valid time of computing resources" mentioned above may include at least one of a valid duration, a valid timer, and a valid time range. Optionally, when the "valid time of computing resources" includes a valid duration, after receiving the first configuration information, the terminal may start timing, or may activate a first timer, the timing duration of which may be the valid duration. Optionally, when the terminal timing exceeds the valid duration, or when the first timer times out, the computing resource is considered invalid. Optionally, when the "valid time of computing resources" includes a valid timer, after receiving the first configuration information, the terminal may activate the valid timer, and when the valid timer times out, the computing resource is considered invalid. Optionally, when the "valid time of computing resources" includes a valid time range, the computing resource is considered valid within the valid time range, and invalid outside the valid time range. For example, the valid time range may include: XXX year XXX month 01 to XXX year XXX month 02.

[0421] Optionally, the second node mentioned above can be a network node other than the candidate node.

[0422] Optionally, the aforementioned OTT Server may refer to content or services built on top of basic telecommunications services, and the OTT Server does not require additional support from network operators.

[0423] Optionally, the aforementioned external server may include a non-communication server associated with the candidate node or candidate cell that can provide computing resources.

[0424] Optionally, when the computing power resources of a candidate cell or candidate node originate from the candidate cell or candidate node itself, it is considered that the computing power resources of the candidate cell or candidate node are directly provided by the candidate cell or candidate node. When the computing power resources of a candidate cell or candidate node do not originate from the candidate cell or candidate node, it is considered that the computing power resources of the candidate cell or candidate node are not directly provided, but indirectly provided by devices other than the candidate cell or candidate node.

[0425] Optionally, the "source of computing power resources provided by candidate cells or candidate nodes" mentioned above may include any one or more of direct and indirect sources. Direct sources include, for example, "directly provided by candidate cells or candidate nodes" mentioned above, while indirect sources include, for example, "indirectly provided by devices other than candidate cells and candidate nodes" mentioned above.

[0426] For example, the "source of computing power resources provided by candidate cells or candidate nodes" mentioned above can be indicated as direct or direct / directly.

[0427] For example, the "source of computing power resources provided by candidate cells or candidate nodes" mentioned above can be indicated as indirect or indirectly.

[0428] For example, the "source of computing power resources provided by candidate cells or candidate nodes" mentioned above can indicate whether it is a direct source. For example, if the source parameter indicates 1, it is a direct source; if the source parameter indicates 0, it is a non-direct source, that is, an indirect source.

For example, the candidate configuration information may include access configuration, communication configuration, etc., of the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes. Optionally, the terminal can access the candidate cell or candidate node based on the candidate configuration information corresponding to the candidate cell or candidate node.

[0436] Optionally, the aforementioned "first execution condition" can be used to trigger mobility operations, and this first execution condition may not be related to the computing power of the candidate cell or candidate node. For example, the first execution condition may include at least one of the following: events based on measurement results (e.g., A3 event, A4 event, A5 event), time-based events (T1 event), location-based events (D1 event, D2 event), and altitude-based events (H1 event, H2 event). Optionally, when the first execution condition includes events based on measurement results, the first execution condition may be related to the terminal's measurement results (e.g., signal strength measurement results). Optionally, the first execution condition may include, for example, that the signal strength measurement result of the terminal's serving cell is less than a first threshold, and / or that the signal strength measurement result of the terminal's candidate cell is greater than a second threshold.

[0439] A4 event (convent A4): The measurement result of the candidate cell for conditional reconfiguration is greater than the absolute threshold, where convent A4 can also be used for the current PSCell (i.e., if the current PSCell is configured as a candidate PSCell for convent A4 evaluation). Optionally, the A4 event can be used for the current PSCell when there is a CHO with candidate SCG(s) cases.

[0440] CondEvent A5: The measurement result of PCell / PSCell is less than the absolute threshold 1, and the measurement result of the conditional reconfiguration candidate cell is higher than another absolute threshold 2.

In this case, it is considered that the terminal's computing power requirement is greater than or equal to the amount of computing power resources that the serving cell and / or serving node can provide to the terminal.

[0508] Optionally, the aforementioned "the source of computing power resources of candidate cells and / or candidate nodes does not conform to the source of computing power required by the terminal" may include, for example, assuming that the source of computing power required by the terminal is directly provided by the candidate cells or candidate nodes. However, if the source of computing power resources of candidate cells or candidate nodes is not directly provided by the candidate cells or candidate nodes, but indirectly provided by OAM, then it is considered that the source of computing power resources of candidate cells and / or candidate nodes does not conform to the source of computing power required by the terminal.

[0509] Similarly, the aforementioned "the source of computing power resources of the serving cell and / or serving node does not conform to the source of computing power required by the terminal" may include, for example, assuming that the source of computing power required by the terminal is directly provided by the serving cell or serving node. However, if the source of computing power resources of the serving cell or serving node is not directly provided by the serving cell or serving node, but indirectly provided by OAM, then it is considered that the source of computing power resources of the serving cell and / or serving node does not conform to the source of computing power required by the terminal.

[0510] It should be noted that in some embodiments, if no candidate cell and / or candidate node meets the second execution condition, the terminal may wait for the candidate cell and / or candidate node to meet the second execution condition. Specifically, in a communication system, the computing power of a cell is dynamically changing. The computing power of a candidate cell may not currently meet the second execution condition, but with the scheduling of resources in the communication system, the available computing power resources of that candidate cell may increase in the next moment, and it may meet the second execution condition. In this case, the terminal can identify that candidate cell as the first cell. Alternatively, in a communication system, the terminal's computing power requirements are dynamically changing. The computing power of a candidate cell may not currently meet the second execution condition, but with the scheduling of resources in the communication system, the terminal's computing power requirements may change in the next moment, and a candidate cell may meet the second execution condition. In this case, the terminal can identify that candidate cell as the first cell.

[0511] Step 2106: The terminal performs mobility operations based on the first cell and / or the first node.

[0512] Optionally, the terminal performing mobility operations based on the first cell and / or the first node may include any of the following:

[0513] The terminal switches to the first cell or the first node;

[0514] The terminal adds / changes PSCell to this first cell;

[0515] The terminal performs CHO based on the first cell and / or the first node;

[0516] The terminal performs CPAC based on the first cell and / or the first node;

[0517] The terminal performs LTM based on the first cell and / or the first node;

[0518] The terminal performs conditional LTM based on the first cell and / or the first node.

[0519] In summary, in the above embodiments, the terminal receives first configuration information, which is used to configure the computing power capabilities of at least one candidate cell and / or at least one candidate node. Then, the terminal can determine a first cell and / or a first node based on its computing power requirements and the computing power capabilities of the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes. The first cell can be a cell that meets the terminal's computing power requirements, and the first node can be a node corresponding to a cell that meets the terminal's computing power requirements. Subsequently, the terminal performs mobility operations based on the first cell and / or the first node. Therefore, in the mobility management method of this disclosure, when the terminal performs mobility operations, it takes into account the computing power capabilities of the candidate cells and / or candidate nodes, thereby avoiding the terminal accessing candidate cells that do not meet its computing power requirements. This ensures that the cell accessed after the terminal performs mobility operations can meet the terminal's computing power requirements, guaranteeing the successful execution of terminal computing power services and improving user experience. Furthermore, in the above embodiments, the network device can enable the terminal to access a candidate cell that meets its computing power requirements by configuring the computing power capabilities of candidate cells and / or candidate nodes to the terminal, without the terminal frequently updating and reporting its computing power requirements so that the network device can configure a candidate cell that meets its computing power requirements based on the terminal's computing power requirements, which can greatly reduce signaling overhead.

[0520] The mobility management method disclosed herein may include at least one of steps 2101 to 2106. For example, step 2101 may be implemented as a standalone embodiment, step 2102 may be implemented as a standalone embodiment, step 2103 may be implemented as a standalone embodiment, and step 2101+S2102 may be implemented as a standalone embodiment, but is not limited thereto.

[0521] In some embodiments, any two or more steps in steps 2101 to 2106 can be executed in an interchangeable order. For example, the order of steps 2101 and 2102 can be interchanged, such as executing step 2102 first and then executing step 2101.

[0522] In this implementation or embodiment, unless there is contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined, and can be arbitrarily combined with any steps of other implementations or other embodiments.

As shown in Figure 5, the present disclosure relates to a mobility management method for a communication system, the communication system including a terminal and a network device, and the method includes at least one of the following:

[0680] In some embodiments, the above methods may include the methods described in the embodiments of the communication system side, the first device side, the network device side, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0681] The mobility management method disclosed herein may include at least one of steps 5101 to 5104. For example, step 5101 may be implemented as a separate embodiment, and step 5102 may be implemented as a separate embodiment, but is not limited thereto.

[0682] In this implementation or embodiment, unless there is contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined, and can be arbitrarily combined with any steps of other implementations or other embodiments.

[0683] The following is an exemplary description of the above method.

[0684] This disclosure proposes a condition-based mobility assessment method that considers computing power. In this scheme, the UE evaluates whether the computing power provided by candidate cells for condition-triggered mobility meets the UE's computing power requirements. The UE selects candidate cells that meet both the computing power requirements and the measurement event-based requirements as the target cells for mobility. In this way, the UE can simultaneously access cells where both channel conditions and computing power requirements are met.

[0685] Optional embodiments

[0686] The network side sends configuration information to indicate the computing resources that the candidate cells corresponding to the condition-triggered mobility can provide to the UE. The UE evaluates whether the computing resources of the candidate cells configured by the network side can meet its own computing power requirements. When the computing power requirements and radio channel conditions of the candidate cells are met, the UE triggers mobility, applies the candidate configuration, and accesses the candidate cells.

[0687] The computing resource information mentioned includes whether computing power can be provided to the UE, the effective time of the computing resources, and the source of the computing resources.

[0688] Computing resources are used as a new type of condition-triggered mobility event; these computing resource-based events and measurement result-based mobility events are used in combination as the configuration of mobility execution conditions.

[0689] The following are exemplary embodiments described in this disclosure, wherein each entry corresponds to an embodiment or implementation. For example, the entries corresponding to X, XY, XYZ, and XYZQ each correspond to an embodiment or implementation, wherein X, Y, Z, and Q are positive integers greater than 0.

[0690] 1. Optionally, the UE sends mobility configuration assistance information to the network. The assistance information informs the network whether the UE is a UE that supports AI services, whether the UE supports the network providing computing resources to the UE, and the type of computing resources the UE prefers.

[0691] Optionally, the terminal sends capability information, which indicates whether the UE can perform an assessment of mobility execution conditions based on computing power.

[0692] 1.1 (This section describes the base station implementation and is not standard content; it explains the purpose of auxiliary information.) Based on the above information, the serving node selects a suitable candidate target cell for the UE, requests the target cell to provide corresponding resources, and configures the corresponding execution conditions, etc. For example, if the UE supports AI and the network side can provide computing power to meet the UE's needs, then when preparing for the UE, the serving node can request candidate nodes to reserve computing power resources for the UE.

[0693] 2. The UE receives conditional mobility configuration information sent by the network side. The conditional mobility configuration information includes computing resource information that one or more candidate cells (or candidate nodes corresponding to candidate cells) can provide to the UE.

Each condition-based mobility configuration includes a candidate configuration identifier, candidate configuration information, and computing resource information that the candidate cell (or the candidate node corresponding to the candidate cell) can provide to the UE.

[0695] In addition, it may include information on the computing resources that the serving cell (serving node) can provide to the UE, such as whether it can provide computing resources, the amount of computing resources it can provide, whether the computing resources come from this node, and computing resource time information.

[0696] The computing resource information mentioned in 32 includes any one or more of the following:

[0697] 3.1 Instruction information, indicating the ability to provide computing resources (computing resource capability) to the UE.

[0698] 3.2 The amount of computing resources that can be provided to the UE (or the maximum amount of computing resources that can be met for the UE)

[0699] 3.2.1 This can be indicated by a computing power resource threshold (in Flops).

[0700] 3.3 It can provide the UE with time information on computing resources.

[0701] 3.3.1 It can be represented by a timer, duration, or time range.

[0702] For example, regarding timers and durations, when the UE receives the configuration, the UE starts the timer or enables duration counting.

[0703] 3.4 Computing power source information: Indicates the computing power source provided by the candidate cell to the UE.

[0704] 3.4.1 Directly provided: Sourced from this community (or the node where this community is located)

[0705] 3.4.2 Indirect provision: originating from other network nodes, such as other base stations (nodes) or core network nodes.

[0706] 4. Based on 3, the computing resource information is configured through computing resource events. These computing resource events can be one of the events associated with the execution conditions of mobility. The computing resource events can be any one or more of the following:

[0707] 4.1 Computing power event A1: The computing power resources of the candidate cell meet the computing power requirements of the UE.

[0708] The computing power event configuration described in 4.1.1 may include a configuration identifier (or event identifier) ​​and indication information: indicating whether the candidate cell is capable of providing computing power resources to the UE, for example, True indicates that it can, and false indicates that it cannot.

[0709] 4.2 Computing power event A2: The computing power resources of the serving cell do not meet the computing power requirements of the UE.

[0710] 4.2.1 The computing power event configuration may include a configuration identifier (or event identifier) ​​and indication information: indicating whether the serving cell is able to provide computing power resources to the UE, for example, True indicates that it can, and false indicates that it cannot.

[0711] 4.3 Computing power event A3: The computing power resources of the serving cell do not meet the UE's computing power requirements, while the computing power resources of the candidate cell meet the UE's computing power requirements.

[0712] The computing power event configuration described in 4.3.1 may include a configuration identifier (or event identifier) ​​and indication information: indicating whether the serving cell is capable of providing computing power resources to the UE (e.g., True indicates yes, false indicates no) and whether the candidate cell is capable of providing computing power resources to the UE (e.g., True indicates yes, false indicates no).

[0713] 4.4 Computing power event B1: The UE's computing power requirement is less than (or less than or equal to) the amount of computing power resources that the serving cell can provide (first computing power resource threshold).

[0714] The computing resource event configuration described in 4.4.1 may include a configuration identifier (or event identifier) ​​and a first computing resource threshold.

[0715] 4.5 Computing power event B2: The UE's computing power requirement is greater than (or greater than or equal to) the amount of computing power resources that the serving cell can provide (second computing power resource threshold).

[0716] The computing resource event configuration described in 4.5.1 may include a configuration identifier (or event identifier) ​​and a second computing resource threshold.

[0717] 4.6 Computing power event B3: The UE's computing power requirement is less than (or less than or equal to) the amount of computing power resources that the candidate cell (neighboring cell) can provide (third computing power resource threshold).

[0718] The computing resource event configuration described in 4.6.1 may include a configuration identifier (or event identifier) ​​and a third computing resource threshold.

[0719] 4.7 Computing power event B4: The UE's computing power requirement is greater than (or greater than or equal to) the amount of computing power resources that the candidate cell (neighboring cell) can provide (fourth computing power resource threshold).

[0720] The computing resource event configuration described in 4.7.1 may include a configuration identifier (or event identifier) ​​and a fourth computing resource threshold.

[0721] 4.8 Computing power event B5: The UE's computing power requirement is less than (or less than or equal to) the computing power resources that the candidate cell (neighboring cell) can provide (the fifth computing power resource threshold) and the UE's computing power requirement is greater than (or greater than or equal to) the computing power resources that the serving cell can provide (the sixth computing power resource threshold).

[0722] The computing resource event configuration described in 4.8.1 may include a configuration identifier (or event identifier) ​​and a fifth and a sixth computing resource threshold.

[0723] The computing power resources described in section 54 meet the computing power requirements of the UE (computing power resource event type A), including any one or more of the following three situations:

[0724] 5.1 The UE has computing power requirements, and the cell (or corresponding node) can provide computing power resources.

[0725] 5.2 The UE has no computing power requirement, and the cell (or corresponding node) can provide computing power resources.

[0726] 5.3 UE has no computing power requirement, and the cell (or corresponding node) cannot provide computing power resources.

[0727] 6. The configuration of computing resource events described in section 4 may also include the time information of computing resources of candidate cells (neighboring cells) or serving cells as described in section 3.3.

[0728] 6.1 For Event Series A, if the computing resource duration corresponding to the candidate cell (neighboring cell) or serving cell exceeds the limit, the timer times out, or it is outside the valid time range, the corresponding indication information changes from "Yes" to "No".

[0729] 6.2 For Event B series, if the computing power resource duration corresponding to the candidate cell (neighboring cell) or serving cell exceeds the time limit, the timer expires, or it is outside the valid time range, then the computing power resource that the corresponding candidate cell (neighboring cell) or serving cell can provide becomes 0, and the corresponding computing power resource threshold is set to 0.

[0730] 7. The configuration of the computing resource events described in section 4 may also include the computing source information from section 3.4.

[0731] 7.1 When evaluating an event, it is necessary to consider whether the source of computing power matches the UE's computing power requirements. If they do not match, it should be considered that the computing power resources do not meet the UE's computing power requirements.

[0732] 7.1.1 For example, for series A events, if the UE's computing power requirement is that the source of computing power must be directly provided, but the corresponding source of computing power from the candidate cell (neighboring cell) or serving cell is indirectly provided, then the computing power resources do not meet the UE's computing power requirements.

[0733] 7.1.2 For example, for Event Series B, an evaluation needs to be performed based on the type of computing resources required by the UE and the corresponding threshold for the type of computing resources provided by the candidate cell (neighboring cell) or serving cell.

[0734] 8. Based on any one of 4 to 7, and based on the computing power resource information corresponding to the candidate configuration, the UE performs condition-based mobility assessment and triggering, and the UE selects the cell corresponding to the candidate configuration whose computing power resources are satisfied as the triggering cell for the condition-based mobility.

[0735] For example, it should be noted that the computing power resource requirements on the UE side can come from the UE's application layer or NAS layer, or from the network side's NAS layer indication or APP layer indication, or be determined by the UE according to its own business needs.

[0736] 9. Based on any one of 4 to 7, the computing power resource event is an event associated with the execution conditions of conditional mobility configuration. When all execution conditions are met, the UE triggers a handover and accesses the candidate cell corresponding to the execution conditions.

[0737] 9.1 The condition-based mobility configuration information includes execution conditions corresponding to one or more candidate cells. These execution conditions are associated with computing resource events, measurement result-based events (e.g., A3, A4, A5), time-based events (T1), location-based events (D1), and altitude-based events (H1, H2), or any one or more of these.

[0738] 9.2 Optionally, computing resource events need to be configured simultaneously with measurement-based events.

[0739] 10. The UE selects a target cell for mobility from the cells that trigger the event that meets the computing power requirement. The UE then performs mobility and accesses the candidate cell.

[0740] 10.1 Based on 8, the computing resource event serves as a filtering event for triggering cells. Based on the computing resource event, cells that meet the computing resource event criteria are selected from the triggering cells as target cells for mobility.

[0741] 10.1.1 When the mobility execution conditions corresponding to one or more candidate cells are met (these cells can be called trigger cells), the UE performs filtering based on the computing resource events corresponding to these trigger cells.

[0742] 10.1.1.1 If the computing resource events corresponding to one or more triggering cells are satisfied, the UE selects one of these triggering cells as the target cell for mobility, performs mobility, and accesses these target cells.

[0743] If none of the corresponding computing resource events for all triggering cells are met, mobility will not be triggered, and the evaluation of mobility execution conditions will continue.

[0744] This disclosure also provides an apparatus for implementing any of the above methods. For example, an apparatus is provided that includes units or modules for implementing the steps performed by the terminal in any of the above methods. Alternatively, another apparatus is provided that includes units or modules for implementing the steps performed by a network device (e.g., an access network device, a core network functional node, a core network device, etc.) in any of the above methods.

[0745] It should be understood that the division of units or modules in the above device is only a logical functional division. In actual implementation, they can be fully or partially integrated into a single physical entity, or they can be physically separated. Furthermore, the units or modules in the device can be implemented by a processor calling software: for example, the device includes a processor connected to a memory containing instructions. The processor calls the instructions stored in the memory to implement any of the above methods or to implement the functions of the units or modules in the above device. The processor can be, for example, a general-purpose processor, such as a Central Processing Unit (CPU) or a microprocessor, and the memory can be internal or external to the device. Alternatively, the units or modules in the device can be implemented in the form of hardware circuits. The functionality of some or all of the units or modules can be achieved through the design of these hardware circuits, which can be understood as one or more processors. For example, in one implementation, the hardware circuit is an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). The functionality of some or all of the units or modules is achieved through the design of the logical relationships between the components within the circuit. In another implementation, the hardware circuit can be implemented using a programmable logic device (PLD). Taking a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) as an example, it can include a large number of logic gates. The connection relationships between the logic gates are configured through configuration files, thereby achieving the functionality of some or all of the units or modules. All units or modules of the above device can be implemented entirely through processor-called software, entirely through hardware circuits, or partially through processor-called software with the remaining parts implemented through hardware circuits.

[0746] In this embodiment, the processor is a circuit with signal processing capabilities. In one implementation, the processor can be a circuit with instruction read and execute capabilities, such as a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a microprocessor, a graphics processing unit (GPU) (which can be understood as a microprocessor), or a digital signal processor (DSP). In another implementation, the processor can implement certain functions through the logical relationships of hardware circuits. The logical relationships of the aforementioned hardware circuits are fixed or reconfigurable. For example, the processor is a hardware circuit implemented using an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a programmable logic device (PLD), such as an FPGA. In a reconfigurable hardware circuit, the process of the processor loading a configuration document and configuring the hardware circuit can be understood as the process of the processor loading instructions to implement the functions of some or all of the above units or modules. Furthermore, it can also be a hardware circuit designed for artificial intelligence, which can be understood as an ASIC, such as a Neural Network Processing Unit (NPU), a Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), or a Deep Learning Processing Unit (DPU).
