[0020] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used in this application to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "when," "when," or "in response to determination."

[0021] First, the communication technologies involved in the embodiments of this application will be introduced: Radio Resource Control (RRC) status: RRC Idle State (RRC_IDLE): Mobility in RRC idle state refers to cell selection and cell reselection based on the user equipment (UE). Paging is initiated by the core network (CN), and the paging area is configured by the core network. There is no access stratum (AS) context for the UE on the access network device side, and there is no RRC connection between the UE and the access network device.

[0022] RRC Connected State (RRC_CONNECTED): Mobility in RRC connected state refers to network-controlled mobility. An RRC connection exists between the UE and the access network equipment, and both the UE and access network equipment sides have AS contexts. Unicast data can be transmitted between the UE and the access network equipment. The network side knows the UE's location at the cell level.

[0023] RRC Inactive State (RRC_INACTIVE): Mobility in the RRC inactive state refers to UE-based cell selection and cell reselection. A connection exists between the core network and access network equipment, but the connection between the access network equipment and the UE is suspended (Suspend). The UE's AS context resides on a specific access network equipment. Paging is triggered by the Radio Access Network (RAN), and the RAN-based paging area is managed by the RAN. The network side knows the UE's location at the RAN paging area level.

[0024] Measurements of RRC in idle and inactive states: In both the RRC idle state and the RRC inactive state, the UE's serving cell measurement is continuous, and the UE's neighbor cell measurement behavior is constrained by relevant parameters in the system broadcast message. For example: For the initiation of co-frequency measurements, when the serving cell Srxlev > S IntraSearchP Furthermore, the serving cell Squal>S IntraSearchQ At this time, neighboring cell measurements on the same frequency will not be initiated. Otherwise, if the serving cell Srxlev IntraSearchP And / or, serving Squal IntraSearchQ If so, then the measurement of neighboring cells at the same frequency will be initiated.

[0025] For inter-frequency measurements of the same or lower priority, when the serving cell Srxlev > S nonIntraSearchP Furthermore, the serving cell Squal>S nonIntraSearchQ When this occurs, inter-frequency measurements of the same or lower priority will not be initiated. Otherwise, if the serving cell Srxlev nonIntraSearchP And / or, serving Squal nonIntraSearchQ If the priority is low, then inter-frequency measurement with the same or lower priority will be initiated. Inter-frequency measurement with the same priority corresponds to the case of reselection to an inter-frequency cell with the same priority; inter-frequency measurement with lower priority corresponds to the case of reselection to an inter-frequency cell with lower priority.

[0026] For high-priority inter-frequency measurements, that is, when reselecting to a high-priority inter-frequency cell, high-priority inter-frequency measurements are always initiated.

[0027] ​​​​The above Srxlev is calculated based on Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), where Srxlev=Qrxlevmeas–(qRxlevMin+qRxlevMinOffset)–pCompensation. Wherein, Qrxlevmeas represents the RSRP value of the measured cell, qRxlevMin represents the minimum received level (usually 0-128dbm), qRxlevMinOffset represents the minimum received level offset (usually 0), and pCompensation represents power compensation (usually 0).

[0028] Neighboring neighborhood measurement relaxation: To achieve energy saving on the UE side, two criteria are defined for Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement of UE, namely the Not-Cell-Edge criterion and the Low-Mobility criterion. When both criteria are configured simultaneously, the network device further indicates whether the relationship between the two criteria is "AND" or "OR". The Not-Cell-Edge criterion mainly defines an RSRP threshold. When the RSRP measurement value of the serving cell is greater than this threshold, UE can relax neighbor cell RRM measurement. The Low-Mobility criterion means that when the RSRP of the serving cell changes very little, it indicates that UE has little demand for cell reselection, so neighbor cell measurement can be relaxed to achieve the purpose of energy saving. Specifically: Configuring the s-SearchDeltaP parameter in the system message means that the cell supports UE to relax neighbor cell measurement. When the RSRP measurement result of the serving cell meets the neighbor cell measurement relaxation condition within the time range TSearchDeltaP, UE can relax neighbor cell measurement.

[0029] Neighbor cell measurement relaxation condition: (SrxlevRef – Srxlev)<s-SearchDeltaP. Wherein, Srxlev is the current Srxlev measurement value of the serving cell, and SrxlevRef is the reference Srxlev value of the serving cell.

[0030] When UE selects or reselects to a new cell, or if (Srxlev - SrxlevRef)>0, or if the relaxation measurement condition is not satisfied within the TSearchDeltaP time, UE sets SrxlevRef as the current Srxlev measurement value of the serving cell.

[0031] If the network side only configures one of the non-cell edge criteria and the low mobility criteria, that is, only one of the parameters lowMobilityEvaluation and cellEdgeEvaluation, or if the network side configures both parameters but does not configure combineRelaxedMeasCondition, then the UE performs neighbor cell measurement relaxation when the configured criteria are met. In this case, the intra-frequency measurement requirement under the neighbor cell measurement relaxation condition is increased by K1 times (3 times) compared to the normal condition (i.e., when neighbor cell measurement is not relaxed). The inter-frequency measurement requirement under the neighbor cell measurement relaxation condition is also increased by K1 times (3 times) compared to the normal condition (i.e., when neighbor cell measurement is not relaxed).

[0032] When the network side configures the parameters lowMobilityEvaluation and cellEdgeEvaluation, and also configures the parameter combineRelaxedMeasCondition, then when both the non-cell edge criterion and the low mobility criterion are met, the UE will use a 1-hour measurement interval for in-frequency and out-of-frequency measurements.

[0033] Wake-Up Receiver (WUR): To further enhance UE energy efficiency, a WUR (Wake-up Receiver) mechanism for receiving energy-saving signals is introduced. The WUR features extremely low cost, low complexity, and extremely low power consumption, primarily receiving energy-saving signals through envelope detection. The energy-saving signal is mainly the envelope signal, and demodulation of this signal can be achieved by driving low-power circuitry powered by the energy provided by the radio frequency signal; therefore, it can be passive. The WUR can also be powered by the UE. Regardless of the power supply method, the WUR significantly reduces power consumption compared to the UE's traditional receiver. For example, the WUR can achieve power consumption of less than 1 milliwatt (mW), far lower than the tens to hundreds of milliwatts of power consumption of traditional receivers. The WUR can be integrated with the UE as an add-on module to the UE's traditional receiver, or it can be a standalone module of the UE, such as a wake-up function module.

[0034] like Figure 1As shown, if the UE needs to turn on the Main Radio (MR) 101, the network side can turn on the UE's Main Radio 101 by sending a Wake-Up Signal (WUS). Otherwise, the UE's Main Radio 101 can be in an OFF state or a Deep Sleep state. Therefore, the UE can use WUR 103 to listen for WUS, and the UE can use WUR 103 continuously when there is no service or paging message. Only when there is service will the UE receive WUS and wake up the Main Radio 101 to send and receive data. Therefore, compared with the traditional mode where the UE always uses the Main Radio, WUR 103 can significantly reduce the overall power consumption of the UE, achieving energy saving on the UE side.

[0035] In some embodiments, whether the master transceiver is enabled is implicitly indicated via WUS. For example, sending a WUS on the network side means indicating that the master transceiver is enabled, while not sending a WUS on the network side means indicating that the master transceiver is not enabled.

[0036] In some embodiments, whether the master transceiver is enabled is explicitly indicated via a WUS (Wake-up Notification). For example, if the WUS sent by the network side carries a wake-up indication, it means that the master transceiver is enabled. Figure 1 As shown in (a). For example, if the WUS sent by the network side carries a no-wake-up indication, it means that the master transceiver will not be woken up, and the master transceiver will remain in a powered-off state or a deep sleep state, such as... Figure 1 As shown in (b).

[0037] The introduction of WUR allows UEs to listen to WUS via WUR instead of using the main transceiver to listen to the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), which helps to achieve energy saving on the UE side.

[0038] However, the RRM measurement mechanism after the introduction of WUR is still undecided. In other words, there is no solution yet for how UEs supporting WUR should perform RRM measurements.

[0039] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a wireless communication system provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application is shown. The wireless communication system includes a network device 110 and a terminal device 120, which are not limited thereto in this application.

[0048] Figure 3 This illustration shows a flowchart of a measurement method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. The method is executed by a UE and includes: Step 320: Determine the RRM measurement behavior based on the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength.

[0049] The first signal strength is the signal strength of the first signal, which includes the measurement signal corresponding to the first receiver.

[0050] The second signal strength is the signal strength of the second signal, which includes the measurement signal corresponding to the second receiver.

[0051] In this embodiment of the application, the UE has a first receiver and a second receiver, and the operating power consumption of the first receiver is lower than that of the second receiver.

[0052] In some embodiments, the power consumption of the first receiver is lower than that of the second receiver, which can be reflected in at least one of the following aspects: the structure of the first receiver is simpler than that of the second receiver; the waveform used in the first signal is simpler than that used in the second signal; the power consumption required to generate the first signal is lower than that required to generate the second signal; the power consumption required to receive the first signal is lower than that required to receive the second signal; and the power consumption required to detect the first signal is lower than that required to detect the second signal.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first receiver may be referred to as at least one of the following: a wake-up receiver (WUR), a low-power wake-up receiver (LP-WUR), an ultra-low-power wake-up receiver (ULP-WUR), a low-power receiver, an ultra-low-power receiver, a zero-power receiver, or an auxiliary receiver.

[0054] In some embodiments, the second receiver may be referred to as at least one of the following: a legacy receiver or a main receiver.

[0055] In some embodiments, RRM measurement behavior can also be understood as RRM measurement operation or RRM measurement mode. Determining RRM measurement behavior can also be understood as the UE determining its own behavior, operation, and mode for performing RRM measurements. The UE determining RRM measurement behavior based on a first signal strength and / or a second signal strength can also be understood as the UE determining how it performs RRM measurements based on the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength, or it can be understood as the UE determining the RRM measurement mode it adopts based on the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength.

[0056] In summary, the method provided in this application provides a feasible RRM measurement scheme for a UE equipped with a first receiver and a second receiver, and supports the UE in determining RRM measurement behavior based on the signal strength of the measurement signal corresponding to different receivers.

[0057] In some embodiments, the RRM measurement behaviors supported by the UE include a first RRM measurement behavior and / or a second RRM measurement behavior, and step 320 can be implemented as step 420, such as... Figure 4 As shown. Figure 4 The diagram illustrates a flow chart of a measurement method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. The method is performed by a UE and includes step 420. Optionally, the method further includes step 440.

[0058] Step 420: Determine the RRM measurement behavior based on the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength, the RRM measurement behavior including the first RRM measurement behavior and / or the second RRM measurement behavior.

[0059] In this embodiment, RRM measurement behavior can also be understood as RRM measurement operation or RRM measurement mode. The first RRM measurement behavior can also be called the first RRM measurement operation or the first RRM measurement mode, and the second RRM measurement behavior can also be called the second RRM measurement operation or the second RRM measurement mode.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first RRM measurement action includes performing RRM measurements of the serving cell using a first receiver. The second RRM measurement action includes performing RRM measurements of the serving cell and / or neighboring cells using a second receiver.

[0061] In some embodiments, signal strength can be represented by at least one of the following measurements: Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ), Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR), Cross Link Interference (CLI), Channel State Information (CSI), etc.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first signal strength and the second signal strength can be instantaneous measurement results or average measurement results. For example, the first signal strength is the instantaneous RSRP value of the first signal, and the second signal strength is the instantaneous RSRP value of the second signal. For example, the first signal strength is the instantaneous RSSI value of the first signal, and the second signal strength is the instantaneous RSSI value of the second signal. For example, the first signal strength is the average RSRQ value of the first signal, and the second signal strength is the average RSRQ value of the second signal, and so on, not listed here.

[0063] In some embodiments, step 420 may also be implemented as step 420(a).

[0064] Step 420(a): When the first signal strength is below a first threshold, the RRM measurement behavior is determined to include the second RRM measurement behavior.

[0065] Among them, determining the RRM measurement behavior includes the second RRM measurement behavior, which can also be understood as determining to use the second RRM measurement behavior.

[0066] In some embodiments, when the UE operates in a first RRM measurement mode and the first signal strength is below a first threshold, the UE switches from the first RRM measurement mode to a second RRM measurement mode. That is, the UE can switch between the first and second RRM measurement modes based on the first signal strength, i.e., it can switch between performing RRM measurements using a first receiver and performing RRM measurements using a second receiver. When the reception quality of the first receiver is poor, it is difficult to obtain accurate RRM measurement results through the first receiver. Therefore, the operating mode can be switched to perform RRM measurements using the second receiver, achieving more accurate and efficient RRM measurements through the second receiver.

[0067] In some embodiments, step 420 may also be implemented as step 420(b).

[0068] Step 420(b): When the first signal strength is below a first threshold, the RRM measurement behavior is determined to include the first RRM measurement behavior and the second RRM measurement behavior.

[0069] The determination of RRM measurement behavior includes a first RRM measurement behavior and a second RRM measurement behavior, which can also be understood as determining whether to use the first RRM measurement behavior and the second RRM measurement behavior. That is, when the first signal strength is lower than a first threshold, the UE uses both the first receiver to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell and the second receiver to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell and / or neighboring cells.

[0070] For example, when the first signal strength is lower than a first threshold, the UE uses a second receiver to perform RRM measurement of the neighboring cell and uses a first receiver to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell.

[0071] For example, when the first signal strength is lower than a first threshold, the UE uses a second receiver to perform RRM measurements of the serving cell and neighboring cells, and uses a first receiver to perform RRM measurements of the serving cell.

[0072] For example, when the first signal strength is lower than a first threshold, the UE uses a second receiver to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell, and uses a first receiver to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell.

[0073] It should be noted that in the above examples, there are cases where both the first receiver and the second receiver perform RRM measurements of the serving cell. In this case, the first receiver and the second receiver can use the same measurement configuration or different measurement configurations. For example, the first receiver and the second receiver can perform RRM measurements of the serving cell in a time-division manner. Alternatively, the second receiver can perform more sparse RRM measurements of the serving cell than the first receiver, meaning that the measurement interval (or measurement period) used by the second receiver when performing RRM measurements of the serving cell is greater than the measurement interval used by the first receiver.

[0074] In some embodiments, when the UE operates in a first RRM measurement mode and the first signal strength is below a first threshold, the UE switches the first RRM measurement mode to a second RRM measurement mode. That is, the UE can switch between performing RRM measurements with a first receiver and performing RRM measurements with both receivers based on the first signal strength. When the reception quality of the first receiver is poor, it is difficult to obtain accurate RRM measurement results through the first receiver. Therefore, it is possible to switch to a mode where both the first and second receivers perform RRM measurements, achieving more accurate and efficient RRM measurements through the operation of both receivers.

[0075] In some embodiments, step 420 may also be implemented as step 420(c).

[0076] Step 420(c): If the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength satisfy the first condition, the RRM measurement behavior is determined to include the first RRM measurement behavior.

[0077] The determination of RRM measurement behavior includes the first RRM measurement behavior, which can also be understood as determining to use the first RRM measurement behavior. That is, under the condition that the first condition is met, the UE uses the first receiver to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell.

[0078] In some embodiments, the situation where the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength satisfy the first condition includes at least one of the following: • The first signal strength is higher than the second threshold; • The second signal strength is higher than the third threshold; • The strength of the third signal is higher than the fourth threshold. The strength of the third signal is determined based on the strength of the first signal and the strength of the second signal.

[0079] In other words, the conditions for satisfying the first condition may be: the first signal strength is higher than the second threshold; or, the second signal strength is higher than the third threshold; or, the third signal strength is higher than the fourth threshold; or, the first signal strength is higher than the second threshold and the second signal strength is higher than the third threshold; or, the first signal strength is higher than the second threshold and the third signal strength is higher than the fourth threshold; or, the second signal strength is higher than the third threshold and the third signal strength is higher than the fourth threshold; or, the first signal strength is higher than the second threshold, the second signal strength is higher than the third threshold, and the third signal strength is higher than the fourth threshold.

[0080] In some embodiments, the third signal strength is the minimum value between the first signal strength and the second signal strength. Alternatively, the third signal strength is the maximum value between the first signal strength and the second signal strength. Alternatively, the third signal strength is the average value of the first signal strength and the second signal strength. Alternatively, the third signal strength is a weighted average of the first signal strength and the second signal strength, for example, the third signal strength = [m...]. First signal strength + (1-m) The second signal strength is [2] / 2, where m and 1-m are the weighting coefficients, and 0≤m≤1. Alternatively, the third signal strength is the corrected weighted average of the first and second signal strengths. For example, a correction value is added to the first and / or second signal strengths, and then the weighted average is taken.

[0081] In some embodiments, when the UE operates using a first RRM measurement behavior and a second measurement behavior, and the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength meets a first condition, the UE switches from the first RRM measurement behavior to the second RRM measurement behavior, that is, the UE switches to operating using the first RRM measurement behavior. In other words, the UE can switch between dual-receiver RRM measurement and first-receiver RRM measurement based on the first condition. When the first condition is met, it means that the communication quality within the current system is good, and accurate RRM measurement results can be obtained through the first receiver. Therefore, the operating mode of first-receiver RRM measurement can be switched, saving power consumption on the UE side.

[0082] In some embodiments, the first threshold value may be agreed upon by the communication protocol, configured by the network side, determined autonomously by the UE, or determined through negotiation between the network side and the UE. For example, the first threshold value is configured by the network device through higher-layer signaling, where the higher-layer signaling includes, for example, system messages, RRC signaling, or Media Access Control (MAC) control elements (CE). The second, third, and fourth threshold values ​​are similar to the first threshold value and will not be described further.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first threshold value is the same as the second, third, and fourth threshold values, or the first threshold value is different from the second, third, and fourth threshold values.

[0084] For other details, please refer to step 320; they will not be repeated here.

[0085] It should be noted that steps 420(a), 420(b), and 420(c) can be implemented individually or in combination. For example, steps 420(a) and 420(b) can be executed, or steps 420(a) and 420(c) can be executed, or steps 420(b) and 420(c) can be executed, or steps 420(a), 420(b), and 420(c) can be executed.

[0086] Step 440: Perform RRM measurement based on the determined RRM measurement behavior.

[0087] In some embodiments, if the UE determines that the RRM measurement behavior includes a first RRM measurement behavior, then it performs the first RRM measurement behavior. For example, if the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength satisfy a first condition, the UE performs RRM measurements of the serving cell using a first receiver.

[0088] In some embodiments, if the UE determines that the RRM measurement behavior includes a second RRM measurement behavior, then it performs the second RRM measurement behavior. For example, if the first signal strength is below a first threshold, the UE uses a second receiver to perform RRM measurements of the serving cell and / or neighboring cells. For example, if the first signal strength is below a first threshold, the UE uses a second receiver to perform RRM measurements of neighboring cells, and uses a first receiver to perform RRM measurements of the serving cell.

[0089] In some embodiments, the UE reports an RRM measurement report.

[0090] In summary, the method provided in this application provides a feasible RRM measurement scheme for a UE equipped with a first receiver and a second receiver. It supports the UE in determining RRM measurement behavior based on a first signal strength and a second signal strength, facilitating the UE to use a suitable receiver to perform appropriate RRM measurement behavior. It also supports the UE in switching between different measurement behaviors based on the first and second signal strengths, allowing the UE to adjust RRM measurement behavior promptly according to the current communication quality. While ensuring energy saving, it also helps improve the accuracy and efficiency of RRM measurement.

[0091] In some embodiments, the RRM measurement behaviors supported by the UE include a first RRM measurement behavior and / or a third RRM measurement behavior, and step 320 can be implemented as step 520, such as... Figure 5 As shown. Figure 5 The diagram illustrates a flow chart of a measurement method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. The method is performed by a UE and includes step 520. Optionally, the method further includes step 540.

[0092] Step 520: Determine the RRM measurement behavior based on the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength, the RRM measurement behavior including the first RRM measurement behavior and / or the third RRM measurement behavior.

[0093] In this embodiment of the application, RRM measurement behavior can also be understood as RRM measurement operation. The first RRM measurement behavior can also be called the first RRM measurement operation, and the third RRM measurement behavior can also be called the third RRM measurement operation.

[0094] In some embodiments, the first RRM measurement action includes: performing RRM measurements of the serving cell using a first receiver. The third RRM measurement action includes: performing RRM relaxation measurements of the serving cell using the first receiver. It can be understood that the first RRM measurement action is a normal measurement action compared to the third RRM measurement action. When the UE operates using the first RRM measurement action, it performs normal measurements of the serving cell using the first receiver; when the UE operates using the third RRM measurement action, it performs relaxation measurements of the serving cell using the first receiver.

[0095] In some embodiments, the measurement time interval corresponding to the third RRM measurement action is greater than the measurement time interval corresponding to the first RRM measurement action; and / or, the number of measurement signals corresponding to the third RRM measurement action is less than the number of measurement signals corresponding to the first RRM measurement action; and / or, the measurement period corresponding to the third RRM measurement action is greater than the measurement period corresponding to the first RRM measurement action. That is, compared to normal measurement of the serving cell, relaxed measurement of the serving cell can be reflected in at least one of the following aspects: a larger measurement time interval, a larger measurement period, and fewer measurement signals. Therefore, the third RRM measurement action saves more UE power consumption than the first RRM measurement action.

[0096] In some embodiments, step 520 may also be implemented as step 520(a).

[0097] Step 520(a): If the first signal strength is higher than the fifth threshold, the RRM measurement behavior is determined to include the third RRM measurement behavior.

[0098] The determination of RRM measurement behavior includes the third RRM measurement behavior, which can also be understood as determining whether to operate using the third RRM measurement behavior. For example, when the first signal strength is higher than the fifth threshold, the UE uses the first receiver to perform RRM relaxation measurement of the serving cell.

[0099] In some embodiments, when the UE operates using a first RRM measurement behavior and the first signal strength is higher than a fifth threshold, the UE switches from the first RRM measurement behavior to a third RRM measurement behavior. That is, the UE can switch between the first and third RRM measurement behaviors based on the first signal strength, i.e., it can switch between performing normal measurements of the serving cell using the first receiver and performing relaxed measurements of the serving cell. In other words, when the reception quality of the first receiver is good, it can switch to the operating mode of performing relaxed measurements by the first receiver, saving UE power consumption while ensuring the accuracy of the RRM measurement results.

[0100] In some embodiments, step 520 may also be implemented as step 520(b).

[0101] Step 520(b): When the first signal strength is below the sixth threshold, the RRM measurement behavior is determined to include the first RRM measurement behavior.

[0102] The determination of RRM measurement behavior includes the first RRM measurement behavior, which can also be understood as determining to operate using the first RRM measurement behavior. For example, when the first signal strength is lower than the sixth threshold, the UE uses the first receiver to perform normal measurements of the serving cell.

[0103] In some embodiments, when the UE operates in the third RRM measurement mode and the first signal strength is below the sixth threshold, the UE switches from the third RRM measurement mode to the first RRM measurement mode. That is, the UE can switch between the third and first RRM measurement modes based on the first signal strength, i.e., it can switch between using the first receiver to perform relaxed measurements of the serving cell and performing normal measurements of the serving cell. In other words, when the reception quality of the first receiver is poor, it can switch to the operating mode of performing normal measurements by the first receiver, improving the accuracy of the RRM measurement results.

[0104] In some embodiments, the fifth threshold value may be agreed upon by the communication protocol, configured by the network side, determined autonomously by the UE, or determined through negotiation between the network side and the UE. For example, the fifth threshold value is configured by the network device through higher-layer signaling, where higher-layer signaling includes, for example, system messages, RRC signaling, or MAC CE.

[0105] In some embodiments, the sixth threshold value can be agreed upon by the communication protocol, configured by the network side, determined autonomously by the UE, or determined through negotiation between the network side and the UE. For example, the sixth threshold value is configured by the network device through higher-layer signaling, where higher-layer signaling includes, for example, system messages, RRC signaling, or MAC CE.

[0106] In some embodiments, the fifth threshold value may be the same as or different from the sixth threshold value.

[0107] For other details, please refer to steps 320 and 420; they will not be repeated here.

[0108] It should be noted that steps 520(a) and 520(b) can be implemented individually or in combination.

[0109] Step 540: Perform RRM measurement based on the determined RRM measurement behavior.

[0110] In some embodiments, if the UE determines that the RRM measurement behavior includes a first RRM measurement behavior, then it performs the first RRM measurement behavior. For example, if the first signal strength is below a sixth threshold, the UE uses a first receiver to perform normal measurements of the serving cell.

[0111] In some embodiments, if the UE determines that the RRM measurement behavior includes a third RRM measurement behavior, then it performs the third RRM measurement behavior. For example, if the first signal strength is higher than a fifth threshold, the UE uses a first receiver to perform an RRM relaxation measurement of the serving cell.

[0112] In some embodiments, the UE reports an RRM measurement report.

[0113] In summary, the method provided in this application provides a feasible RRM measurement scheme for a UE equipped with a first receiver and a second receiver. It supports the UE in determining RRM measurement behavior based on a first signal strength, and also supports the UE in switching between normal measurement and relaxed measurement based on the first signal strength. This facilitates the UE in adjusting the RRM measurement behavior of the serving cell in a timely manner according to the current communication quality. While ensuring energy saving, it also helps to improve the accuracy and efficiency of RRM measurement.

[0114] In some embodiments, the RRM measurement behaviors supported by the UE include a fourth RRM measurement behavior and / or a fifth RRM measurement behavior, and step 320 can be implemented as step 620, such as... Figure 6 As shown. Figure 6 The illustration shows a flowchart of a measurement method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. The method is performed by a UE and includes step 620. Optionally, the method further includes step 640.

[0115] Step 620: Determine the RRM measurement behavior based on the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength, the RRM measurement behavior including the fourth RRM measurement behavior and / or the fifth RRM measurement behavior.

[0116] In this embodiment, RRM measurement behavior can also be understood as RRM measurement operation or RRM measurement mode. The fourth RRM measurement behavior can also be called the fourth RRM measurement operation or the fourth RRM measurement mode, and the fifth RRM measurement behavior can also be called the fifth RRM measurement operation or the fifth RRM measurement mode.

[0117] In some embodiments, the fourth RRM measurement action includes performing RRM measurements of neighboring cells. The fifth RRM measurement action includes performing RRM relaxation measurements of neighboring cells.

[0118] In some embodiments, the fourth RRM measurement action includes: performing RRM measurements of neighboring cells using the second receiver. The fifth RRM measurement action includes: performing RRM relaxation measurements of neighboring cells using the second receiver.

[0119] In some embodiments, the fourth RRM measurement action includes: performing RRM measurements of neighboring cells using the first receiver. The fifth RRM measurement action includes: performing RRM relaxation measurements of neighboring cells using the first receiver.

[0120] In some embodiments, the fourth RRM measurement action includes performing RRM measurements of neighboring cells using a first receiver. The fifth RRM measurement action includes performing RRM relaxation measurements of neighboring cells using a second receiver.

[0121] In some embodiments, the fourth RRM measurement action includes performing RRM measurements of neighboring cells using a second receiver. The fifth RRM measurement action includes performing RRM relaxation measurements of neighboring cells using a first receiver.

[0122] In some embodiments, the fifth RRM measurement behavior is a normal measurement behavior compared to the fourth RRM measurement behavior. When the UE operates using the fourth RRM measurement behavior, it performs normal measurements of neighboring cells using the first receiver and / or the second receiver. When the UE operates using the fifth RRM measurement behavior, it performs relaxed measurements of neighboring cells using the first receiver and / or the second receiver.

[0123] In some embodiments, the measurement time interval corresponding to the fifth RRM measurement action is greater than the measurement time interval corresponding to the fourth RRM measurement action; and / or, the number of measurement cells corresponding to the fifth RRM measurement action is less than the number of measurement cells corresponding to the fourth RRM measurement action; and / or, the number of measurement signals corresponding to the fifth RRM measurement action is less than the number of measurement signals corresponding to the fourth RRM measurement action; and / or, the number of measurement frequency points corresponding to the fifth RRM measurement action is less than the number of measurement frequency points corresponding to the fourth RRM measurement action; and / or, the measurement period corresponding to the fifth RRM measurement action is greater than the measurement period corresponding to the fourth RRM measurement action. In other words, compared to normal measurement of neighboring cells, relaxed measurement of neighboring cells can be reflected in at least one of the following aspects: a larger measurement time interval, a larger measurement period, fewer measurement signals, fewer measurement cells, and fewer measurement frequency points. Therefore, the fifth RRM measurement action saves more UE power consumption than the fourth RRM measurement action.

[0124] In some embodiments, step 620 may also be implemented as step 620(a).

[0125] Step 620(a): If the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength satisfy the second condition, the RRM measurement behavior is determined to include the fifth RRM measurement behavior.

[0126] The determination of RRM measurement behavior includes the fifth RRM measurement behavior, which can also be understood as determining whether to operate using the fifth RRM measurement behavior. For example, if the second condition is met, the UE performs RRM relaxation measurement of neighboring cells.

[0127] In some embodiments, the situation where the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength satisfy the second condition includes at least one of the following: • The strength of the first signal is higher than the seventh threshold; • The second signal strength is higher than the eighth threshold; • The strength of the third signal is higher than the ninth threshold. The strength of the third signal is determined based on the strength of the first signal and the strength of the second signal.

[0128] In other words, the conditions for satisfying the second condition may be: the first signal strength is higher than the seventh threshold; or, the second signal strength is higher than the eighth threshold; or, the third signal strength is higher than the ninth threshold; or, the first signal strength is higher than the seventh threshold and the second signal strength is higher than the eighth threshold; or, the first signal strength is higher than the seventh threshold and the third signal strength is higher than the ninth threshold; or, the second signal strength is higher than the eighth threshold and the third signal strength is higher than the ninth threshold; or, the first signal strength is higher than the seventh threshold, the second signal strength is higher than the eighth threshold, and the third signal strength is higher than the ninth threshold.

[0129] In some embodiments, the third signal strength is the minimum value between the first signal strength and the second signal strength. Alternatively, the third signal strength is the maximum value between the first signal strength and the second signal strength. Alternatively, the third signal strength is the average value of the first signal strength and the second signal strength. Alternatively, the third signal strength is a weighted average of the first signal strength and the second signal strength. Alternatively, the third signal strength is a modified weighted average of the first signal strength and the second signal strength.

[0130] In some embodiments, when the UE operates in the fourth RRM measurement behavior and the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength meet the second condition, the UE switches from the fourth RRM measurement behavior to the fifth RRM measurement behavior. That is, the UE can switch between the fourth and fifth RRM measurement behaviors based on the second condition, i.e., switch between normal and relaxed measurement of neighboring cells. When the second condition is met, it means that the communication quality within the current system is good, and accurate neighboring cell measurement results can be obtained. Therefore, the operating mode of performing relaxed neighboring cell measurement can be switched to save power consumption on the UE side.

[0131] In some embodiments, step 620 may also be implemented as step 620(b).

[0132] Step 620(b): If the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength do not meet the second condition, the RRM measurement behavior is determined to include the fourth RRM measurement behavior.

[0133] The determination of RRM measurement behavior includes the fourth RRM measurement behavior, which can also be understood as determining whether to use the fifth RRM measurement behavior. For example, if the second condition is not met, the UE performs normal measurements of neighboring cells.

[0134] In some embodiments, the case where the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength does not meet the second condition includes at least one of the following: the first signal strength is lower than the seventh threshold; the first signal strength is equal to the seventh threshold; the second signal strength is lower than the eighth threshold; the second signal strength is equal to the eighth threshold; the third signal strength is lower than the ninth threshold; the third signal strength is equal to the ninth threshold.

[0135] In some embodiments, when the UE operates using the fifth RRM measurement behavior, and the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength do not meet the second condition, the UE switches from the fifth RRM measurement behavior to the fourth RRM measurement behavior. That is, the UE can switch between the fifth and fourth RRM measurement behaviors based on the second condition, i.e., switch between relaxed neighbor cell measurement and normal measurement. When the second condition is not met, it means that the communication quality within the current system is poor, making it difficult to obtain accurate neighbor cell measurement results through the fifth RRM measurement behavior. Therefore, the operating mode of performing normal neighbor cell measurement can be switched to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the RRM measurement results.

[0136] In some embodiments, the seventh threshold value may be agreed upon by the communication protocol, configured by the network side, determined autonomously by the UE, or determined through negotiation between the network side and the UE. For example, the seventh threshold value is configured by the network device through higher-layer signaling, where higher-layer signaling includes, for example, system messages, RRC signaling, or MAC CE.

[0137] In some embodiments, the eighth threshold value can be agreed upon by the communication protocol, configured by the network side, determined autonomously by the UE, or determined through negotiation between the network side and the UE. For example, the eighth threshold value is configured by the network device through higher-layer signaling, where higher-layer signaling includes, for example, system messages, RRC signaling, or MAC CE.

[0138] In some embodiments, the ninth threshold value may be agreed upon by the communication protocol, configured by the network side, determined autonomously by the UE, or determined through negotiation between the network side and the UE. For example, the ninth threshold value is configured by the network device through higher-layer signaling, where higher-layer signaling includes, for example, system messages, RRC signaling, or MAC CE.

[0139] In some embodiments, the seventh threshold, the eighth threshold, and the ninth threshold may have the same or different values.

[0140] For other details, please refer to steps 320, 420, and 520; they will not be repeated here.

[0141] It should be noted that steps 620(a) and 620(b) can be implemented individually or in combination. For example, steps 620(a) and 620(b) can be executed.

[0142] Step 640: Perform RRM measurement based on the determined RRM measurement behavior.

[0143] In some embodiments, if the UE determines that the RRM measurement behavior includes a fourth RRM measurement behavior, then it performs the fourth RRM measurement behavior. For example, if the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength do not meet the second condition, the UE uses a second receiver to perform normal measurements of neighboring cells.

[0144] In some embodiments, if the UE determines that the RRM measurement behavior includes a fifth RRM measurement behavior, then it performs the fifth RRM measurement behavior. For example, if the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength meet the second condition, the UE uses a second receiver to perform a relaxation measurement of the neighboring cell.

[0145] In some embodiments, the UE reports an RRM measurement report.

[0146] In summary, the method provided in this application provides a feasible RRM measurement scheme for a UE equipped with a first receiver and a second receiver. It supports the UE in determining RRM measurement behavior based on a first signal strength and a second signal strength, facilitating the UE to execute appropriate RRM measurement behaviors, enabling switching between different measurement behaviors, and allowing the UE to adjust RRM measurement behavior promptly according to the current communication quality. While ensuring energy saving, it also helps improve the accuracy and efficiency of RRM measurements.

[0150] In some embodiments, Figure 4 The illustrated embodiments Figure 5 The illustrated embodiments and Figure 6 The embodiments shown can be used in combination, that is, the UE performs at least steps 420, 520 and 620.

The method is performed by a network device and includes: Step 720: Send a first signal and / or a second signal; the strength of the first signal and / or the strength of the second signal are used to determine the RRM measurement behavior.

[0153] The second signal strength is the signal strength of the second signal, which includes the measurement signal corresponding to the second receiver.

[0154] In some embodiments, the power consumption of the first receiver is lower than that of the second receiver. For example, this can be manifested in at least one of the following aspects: the structure of the first receiver is simpler than that of the second receiver; the waveform used in the first signal is simpler than that used in the second signal; the power consumption required to generate the first signal is lower than that required to generate the second signal; the power consumption required to receive the first signal is lower than that required to receive the second signal; and the power consumption required to detect the first signal is lower than that required to detect the second signal.

[0156] In some embodiments, the second receiver may be referred to as at least one of the following: a conventional receiver, a main receiver.

[0157] In some embodiments, RRM measurement behavior can also be understood as RRM measurement operation or RRM measurement mode. Determining RRM measurement behavior can also be understood as the UE determining its own behavior, operation, and mode for performing RRM measurements. The first signal strength and / or the second signal strength are used to determine the RRM measurement behavior, which can also be understood as the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength being used to determine how to perform RRM measurements, or the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength being used to determine the RRM measurement mode adopted.

[0158] Referring to step 420, the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength can be used to determine the first RRM measurement behavior and / or the second RRM measurement behavior, which will not be elaborated here.

[0159] Referring to step 520, the first signal strength and / or the second signal strength can be used to determine the first RRM measurement behavior and / or the third RRM measurement behavior, which will not be elaborated here.

[0162] In summary, the method provided in this application embodiment supports network devices in sending a first signal and / or a second signal to determine RRM measurement behavior, and provides a feasible RRM measurement scheme for UEs equipped with a first receiver and a second receiver.
