Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wireless technology, and in particular to a measurement reporting method and apparatus, user equipment, storage medium, and program product. Background Technology

[0002] In-Device Coexistence Interference (IDC) refers to the phenomenon of mutual interference caused by the simultaneous operation of multiple wireless technologies in User Equipment (UE). This interference mainly occurs in mobile devices, which typically support multiple Radio Access Technologies (RATs), such as 5G, Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), and Bluetooth. When these different wireless technologies operate simultaneously, if their transceiver modules are placed close together, interference will occur on the same or adjacent frequency bands, affecting the receiver's sensitivity and thus reducing signal quality or causing data loss.

[0003] Minimization Drive Test (MDT) is a technique used in communication systems to automatically collect and analyze UE measurement reports containing location information, minimizing the workload of manual drive testing. When the UE is idle, it can record measurements according to network configuration and stop recording upon detecting IDC interference, marking the recording interval where the interference was detected. Once the IDC interference is resolved within a recording interval, the UE resumes measurement recording in the next interval. Current UE measurement recording methods have some problems. For recording intervals where IDC interference occurs, the UE does not record measurement information within that interval, leading to a reduction in the measurement information acquired by the network, which is detrimental to MDT. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, embodiments of this application provide a measurement reporting method and apparatus, user equipment, computer storage medium, and computer program product.

[0005] The measurement reporting method provided in this application includes:

[0006] The UE receives first configuration information sent by the network device, the first configuration information including idle state measurement record configuration;

[0007] The UE performs idle-state measurement recording based on the measurement recording configuration; wherein, during the measurement recording process:

[0008] If the UE detects IDC interference within the first recording interval, the UE determines a first time, which is the time during which the UE is subjected to IDC interference within the first recording interval; if the first time is less than a first time threshold, the UE records the measurement information within the first recording interval; if the first time is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, the UE discards the measurement information within the first recording interval.

[0009] The measurement reporting device provided in this application embodiment is applied to a UE, and the device includes:

[0010] A receiving unit is configured to receive first configuration information sent by a network device, wherein the first configuration information includes idle state measurement record configuration;

[0011] A measurement recording unit is used to perform idle-state measurement recording based on the measurement recording configuration; wherein, during the measurement recording process:

[0012] If IDC interference is detected within the first recording interval, a first time is determined, which is the time during which the UE is subjected to IDC interference within the first recording interval; if the first time is less than a first time threshold, the measurement information within the first recording interval is recorded; if the first time is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, the measurement information within the first recording interval is discarded.

[0013] The network device provided in this application includes a processor and a memory. The memory is used to store computer programs, and the processor is used to call and run the computer programs stored in the memory to execute any of the above-described measurement reporting methods.

[0014] The computer-readable storage medium provided in this application embodiment is used to store a computer program that causes a computer to execute any of the above-described measurement reporting methods.

[0015] The computer program product provided in this application includes computer program instructions that cause a computer to execute any of the above-described measurement reporting methods.

[0016] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, for a first recording interval where IDC interference exists, the UE determines the time (i.e., the first time) during which it is subjected to IDC interference within the first recording interval. If the first time is less than a first time threshold, the UE records the measurement information within the first recording interval; if the first time is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, the UE discards the measurement information within the first recording interval. By using this measurement recording method, even if IDC interference exists within the first recording interval, the UE can determine whether to record the measurement information within the first recording interval by comparing the time of IDC interference with the first time threshold. This enables the recording of usable measurement information with less interference and avoids recording unusable measurement information with more interference, thus ensuring that the network can obtain more usable measurement information as much as possible, which is beneficial for MDT.

[0031] The following describes three types of IDC interference and the traditional measurement and recording methods under these three types of IDC interference.

[0032] Scenario 1: IDC interference spans multiple record intervals (or simply intervals).

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, after the UE detects IDC interference in interval X, it records IDC indication information to indicate that the current interval X is subject to IDC interference. The UE stops recording in the next interval until the IDC interference is resolved in interval X+N-1. Recording resumes in the next interval after the IDC interference is resolved (i.e., interval X+N).

[0034] Scenario 2: IDC interference spans two recording intervals (or simply intervals).

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, after the UE detects IDC interference within interval X, it records IDC indication information to indicate that the current interval X is subject to IDC interference. The UE stops recording in the next interval (i.e., interval X+1), detects that the IDC interference has been resolved in the next interval (i.e., interval X+1), and resumes recording in the next interval after the IDC interference has been resolved (i.e., interval X+2).

[0036] Scenario 3: IDC interference occurs and is resolved within only one recording interval (or simply interval).

[0037] like Figure 4As shown, after the UE detects IDC interference within interval X, it records IDC indication information to indicate that the current interval X is subject to IDC interference. Since the IDC interference has been resolved within interval X, the UE will continue to record in the next interval (i.e., interval X+1).

[0038] Current UE measurement recording methods have some problems. For recording intervals where IDC interference occurs, the UE does not record measurement information within that interval, leading to a reduction in network-acquired measurement information, which is detrimental to MDT (Mean Distribution Technology). Therefore, the following technical solution, as proposed in this application, is presented.

[0039] Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating the measurement reporting method provided in the embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the measurement reporting method includes the following steps:

[0040] Step 501: The UE receives the first configuration information sent by the network device. The first configuration information includes the idle state measurement record configuration.

[0041] Step 502: The UE performs idle state measurement recording based on the measurement recording configuration; wherein, during the measurement recording process: if the UE detects IDC interference within the first recording interval, the UE determines the first time, which is the time during which the UE is subjected to IDC interference within the first recording interval; if the first time is less than the first time threshold, the UE records the measurement information within the first recording interval; if the first time is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, the UE discards the measurement information within the first recording interval.

[0042] In this embodiment of the application, the first time is the time during which the UE is subjected to IDC interference within the first recording interval, that is, the duration of IDC interference for the UE within the first recording interval.

[0043] In some implementations, the time during which the UE is subjected to IDC interference within the first recording interval is: the end time of the first recording interval minus the time during which DCI interference is detected within the first recording interval.

[0044] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the time when DCI interference is detected within the first recording interval is t1, the end time of the first recording interval is t2, and the first time is t2-t1.

[0045] In some implementations, the time during which the UE is subjected to IDC interference within the first recording interval is: the time during which the interference is resolved within the first recording interval minus the start time of the first recording interval.

[0046] For example, such as Figure 7As described above, the start time of the first recording interval is t3, the time when the interference is resolved within the first recording interval is t4, and the first time is t4-t3.

[0047] In the embodiments of the present application, during the measurement recording process: if the UE detects IDC interference within the first recording interval, the UE determines a first time, where the first time is the duration that the UE is subjected to the IDC interference within the first recording interval; if the first time is less than the first time threshold, the UE records the measurement information within the first recording interval; if the first time is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, the UE discards the measurement information within the first recording interval. Here, the first recording interval generally refers to any recording interval.

[0048] According to the manner in which the UE acquires / determines the above first time threshold, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application include the following two scenarios.

[0049] Scenario 1: The first time threshold is configured by the network device in the first configuration information. That is, the first configuration information includes not only the measurement recording configuration for the idle state, but also the first time threshold.

[0050] In some implementations, the first time threshold is configured based on the measurement information of other UEs in the area where the UE is located and / or the importance degree of the measurement information of the UE. The area herein may be, for example, a cell or an area covered by a base station.

[0051] Specifically, before the network device configures the first time threshold for the current UE, if the network device receives "measurement information indicating that IDC interference is detected" reported by other UEs in the local area (that is, the area where the current UE is located), the network device determines whether to lower or raise the first time threshold of the current UE based on the measurement information reported by the other UEs. If before configuring the first time threshold for the current UE, the network device does not receive the "measurement information indicating that IDC interference is detected" reported by other UEs in the local area (that is, the area where the current UE is located), the network device configures the first time threshold for the current UE by itself, for example, configuring the first time threshold as recording interval * coefficient, and the value of the coefficient may be 0.1, for example.

[0052] In an example, before the network device configures the first time threshold for UE1, the network device receives measurement information of UE2 / 3 / 4, where the measurement information of UE2 / 3 includes indication information indicating that IDC interference is detected, and the first time threshold configured by the network device for UE2 / 3. If the network device evaluates based on the measurement information of UE2 / 3 and considers that the measurement information of UE2 is unavailable and the measurement information of UE3 is available, the network device may configure the first time threshold of UE1 to satisfy the following relationship: the first time threshold of UE3 < the first time threshold of UE1 < the first time threshold of UE2.

[0053] In some implementations, if the first time interval is less than a first time threshold, the UE carries one or more of the following information in the measurement information within the first recording interval:

[0054] First-time information is used to indicate the time of IDC interference within the first recording interval;

[0055] The first indication information is used to indicate whether IDC interference was detected or resolved within the first recording interval;

[0056] The direction affected by IDC interference;

[0057] Frequency affected by IDC interference;

[0058] The second indication information is used to indicate whether the IDC interference has been resolved within the first recording interval;

[0059] The third indication information is used to indicate that IDC interference was detected in the measurement information within the first recording interval.

[0060] In some implementations, if the first indication information indicates that IDC interference was resolved within the first recording interval, then the measurement information does not include the second indication information.

[0061] In one example, for the above Figure 4 In scenario three (where IDC interference occurs and is resolved within a single recording interval), a first indication and a second indication can be included in the measurement information. The first indication indicates that IDC interference was detected within the current recording interval, and the second indication indicates that the IDC interference was resolved within the current recording interval.

[0062] In one example, for the above Figure 2 Case 1 shown Figure 3 In scenario two, if the UE does not discard the measurement information of the recording interval for IDC interference resolution, the UE includes a first indication information but does not include a second indication information in the measurement information. The first indication information is used to indicate that the IDC interference has been resolved within the current recording interval.

[0063] Scenario 2: The first time threshold is set by the UE based on the intensity of the detected IDC interference.

[0064] Here, the UE can set a first time threshold based on the intensity of the detected IDC interference. When the UE detects a high intensity of IDC interference, the interference may have a significant impact on the measurement information. In this case, the UE can set a smaller first time threshold to avoid recording unusable measurement information that is heavily affected by interference. If the UE detects a low intensity of IDC interference, the interference may have little impact on the measurement information. In this case, the UE can set a relatively lenient first time threshold (or a larger first time threshold), allowing the UE to report more measurement information for network devices to reference and assist in network optimization.

[0065] It should be noted that the smaller the first time threshold, the lower the probability that the first time is less than the first time threshold, and the lower the probability that the UE will record measurement information, resulting in the UE reporting less measurement information. Conversely, the larger the first time threshold, the higher the probability that the first time is less than the first time threshold, and the higher the probability that the UE will record measurement information, resulting in the UE reporting more measurement information.

[0066] In some implementations, if the first time interval is less than a first time threshold, the UE carries one or more of the following information in the measurement information within the first recording interval:

[0067] First-time information is used to indicate the time of IDC interference within the first recording interval;

[0068] The first indication information is used to indicate whether IDC interference was detected or resolved within the first recording interval;

[0069] First time threshold;

[0070] The direction affected by IDC interference; here, the direction is divided into uplink and downlink;

[0071] Frequency affected by IDC interference;

[0072] The second indication information is used to indicate whether the IDC interference has been resolved within the first recording interval;

[0073] The third indication information is used to indicate that IDC interference was detected in the measurement information within the first recording interval.

[0074] In some implementations, if the first indication information indicates that IDC interference was resolved within the first recording interval, then the measurement information does not include the second indication information.

[0075] In one example, if the UE determines that all recording intervals affected by IDC interference do not meet the recording conditions (i.e., the first time interval is greater than or equal to the first time threshold), the UE needs to include the first time threshold in the measurement information of the recording intervals where IDC interference was detected. This is to assist the network device in understanding whether the UE's setting of the first time threshold is reasonable, or to assist the network device in configuring an appropriate first time threshold for this UE. It should be noted that when a network device configures a first time threshold for the UE, the network device can use the configured first time threshold to evaluate the reasonableness of the first time threshold set by the UE.

[0076] In some implementations, after entering the connected state, the UE sends measurement information within one or more recording intervals to the network device; or, in other words, after entering the connected state, the UE reports measurement information within one or more recording intervals to the network device. Here, the methods by which the UE reports measurement information include, but are not limited to, the following:

[0077] Method 1: The UE reports measurement information based on a request from the network device. Specifically, after receiving a request from the network device, the UE reports measurement information within one or more recording intervals to the network device.

[0078] Method 2: The UE actively reports measurement information. Specifically, the UE reports measurement information within one or more recording intervals to the network device according to its own implementation.

[0079] Method 3: The UE informs the network device of relevant measurement information and then reports the measurement information at the request of the network device. Specifically, the UE informs the network device that it has locally recorded measurement information, and the network device sends a request to the UE to request the UE to report the measurement information; after receiving the request from the network device, the UE reports measurement information within one or more recording intervals to the network device.

[0080] In some implementations, the network device receives measurement information reported by the UE and centrally stores the measurement information indicating the detection of IDC interference, so that the network device can use it as a reference for configuring the first time threshold for subsequent UEs.

[0081] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are illustrated below with specific application examples.

[0082] Application Example 1

[0083] The network device configures a first time threshold related to IDC interference for the UE. When the UE is recording measurements in idle mode, if IDC interference is detected within a certain recording interval, the relationship between the first time and the first time threshold configured by the network device is determined, and based on the determination result, it is decided whether to discard the measurement information for that measurement interval. Here, the first time is the time during which the UE experiences IDC interference within the current recording interval. The specific process is as follows:

[0084] 1. The UE receives first configuration information sent by the network device, wherein the first configuration information includes, in addition to the idle state measurement record configuration, a first time threshold.

[0085] Here, the specific implementation of configuring the first time threshold for network devices can be referred to the aforementioned... Figure 5 Description of the relevant solutions.

[0086] 2. The UE performs idle state measurement recording based on the measurement recording configuration; when the UE detects IDC interference within a certain recording interval, the UE determines the first time, which is the time when the UE is subjected to IDC interference within the current recording interval.

[0087] Scenario 1: If the first time interval is less than the first time threshold, the UE continues to record measurement information within the current recording interval, and includes one or more of the following information in the measurement information of the current recording interval:

[0088] First-time information is used to indicate the time of IDC interference within the current recording interval;

[0089] The first indication information is used to indicate whether IDC interference was detected or resolved within the current recording interval; or, the first indication information is used to indicate whether the measurement affected by IDC interference was in the first or second part of the current recording interval.

[0090] The direction affected by IDC interference; or in other words, whether the interference is upstream or downstream.

[0091] Frequency affected by IDC interference;

[0092] The second indication information is used to indicate whether the IDC interference has been resolved within the current recording interval; if the first indication information indicates that the IDC interference has been resolved within the current recording interval, the second indication information may not be included in the measurement information.

[0093] The third indication information is used to indicate that IDC interference was detected in the measurement information within the current recording interval.

[0094] Scenario 2: If the first time information is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, the UE discards the measurement information of the current recording interval.

[0095] 3. When the UE enters the connected state, it reports the recorded measurement information to the network device.

[0096] The ways in which the UE reports measurement information include, but are not limited to:

[0097] Method 1: The UE reports measurement information based on a request from the network device. Specifically, after receiving a request from the network device, the UE reports measurement information to the network device.

[0098] Method 2: The UE actively reports measurement information. Specifically, the UE reports measurement information to the network device according to its own implementation.

[0099] Method 3: The UE informs the network device of relevant measurement information and then reports the measurement information at the request of the network device. Specifically, the UE informs the network device that it has locally recorded measurement information, the network device sends a request to the UE to report the measurement information, and after receiving the request from the network device, the UE reports the measurement information to the network device.

[0100] 4. The network device receives the measurement information reported by the UE and centrally stores the measurement information that indicates the detection of IDC interference, so that the network device can use it as a reference for configuring the first time threshold for subsequent UEs.

[0101] Application Example 2

[0102] The network device has not configured a first time threshold related to IDC interference for the UE. When the UE performs measurement recording in idle state, after detecting IDC interference within a certain recording interval, it automatically sets a first time threshold, determines the relationship between the first time and the first time threshold configured by the network device, and decides whether to discard the measurement information for that measurement interval based on the determination result. Here, the first time is the time the UE experiences IDC interference within the current recording interval. The specific process is as follows:

[0103] 1. The UE receives first configuration information sent by the network device, wherein the first configuration information includes idle state measurement record configuration.

[0104] 2. The UE performs idle state measurement recording based on the measurement recording configuration; when the UE detects IDC interference within a certain recording interval, the UE determines the first time and sets the first time threshold according to the detected IDC interference intensity. The first time is the time when the UE is subjected to IDC interference within the current recording interval.

[0105] Here, the specific implementation of setting the first time threshold for the UE can be found in the aforementioned section. Figure 5 Description of the relevant solutions.

[0106] Scenario 1: If the first time interval is less than the first time threshold, the UE continues to record measurement information within the current recording interval, and includes one or more of the following information in the measurement information of the current recording interval:

[0107] First-time information is used to indicate the time of IDC interference within the current recording interval;

[0108] The first indication information is used to indicate whether IDC interference was detected or resolved within the current recording interval; or, the first indication information is used to indicate whether the measurement affected by IDC interference was in the first or second part of the current recording interval.

[0109] The first time threshold is used to instruct the UE to set a threshold based on the IDC interference intensity to evaluate whether to discard measurement information, and to help the network determine whether the measurement information of the current recording interval can be retained.

[0110] The direction affected by IDC interference; or in other words, whether the interference is upstream or downstream.

[0111] Frequency affected by IDC interference;

[0112] The second indication information is used to indicate whether the IDC interference has been resolved within the current recording interval; if the first indication information indicates that the IDC interference has been resolved within the current recording interval, the second indication information may not be included in the measurement information.

[0113] The third indication information is used to indicate that IDC interference was detected in the measurement information within the current recording interval.

[0114] Scenario 2: If the first time information is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, the UE discards the measurement information of the current recording interval.

[0115] 3. When the UE enters the connected state, it reports the recorded measurement information to the network device.

[0116] The ways in which the UE reports measurement information include, but are not limited to:

[0117] Method 1: The UE reports measurement information based on a request from the network device. Specifically, after receiving a request from the network device, the UE reports measurement information to the network device.

[0118] Method 2: The UE actively reports measurement information. Specifically, the UE reports measurement information to the network device according to its own implementation.

[0119] Method 3: The UE informs the network device of relevant measurement information and then reports the measurement information at the request of the network device. Specifically, the UE informs the network device that it has locally recorded measurement information, the network device sends a request to the UE to report the measurement information, and after receiving the request from the network device, the UE reports the measurement information to the network device.

[0120] 4. The network device receives the measurement information reported by the UE and centrally stores the measurement information that indicates the detection of IDC interference, so that the network device can use it as a reference for configuring the first time threshold for subsequent UEs.

[0121] The technical solution of this application embodiment proposes a measurement reporting method. On the one hand, the network can configure a first time threshold for the UE to discard measurement information after detecting IDC interference, so that the network can obtain more measurement information. On the other hand, the UE can also set a first time threshold according to the intensity of the detected IDC interference and evaluate whether to retain the measurement information accordingly. However, the UE needs to report its self-set first time threshold to help the network understand which measurement information is available and which measurement information has lower priority or reliability.

[0122] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structural composition of the measurement reporting device provided in the embodiments of this application, applied to a UE, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the measurement reporting device includes:

[0123] The receiving unit 801 is configured to receive first configuration information sent by the network device, the first configuration information including idle state measurement record configuration;

[0124] The measurement recording unit 802 is used to perform idle-state measurement recording based on the measurement recording configuration; wherein, during the measurement recording process:

[0125] If IDC interference is detected within the first recording interval, a first time is determined, which is the time during which the UE is subjected to IDC interference within the first recording interval; if the first time is less than a first time threshold, the measurement information within the first recording interval is recorded; if the first time is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, the measurement information within the first recording interval is discarded.

[0126] In some embodiments, the measurement recording unit 802 is configured to carry one or more of the following information in the measurement information within the first recording interval if the first time is less than a first time threshold:

[0127] First-time information is used to indicate the time during which IDC interference occurred within the first recording interval;

[0128] The first indication information is used to indicate whether IDC interference was detected or IDC interference was resolved within the first recording interval;

[0129] The first time threshold;

[0132] The second indication information is used to indicate whether the IDC interference has been resolved within the first recording interval;

[0133] The third indication information is used to indicate that IDC interference was detected in the measurement information within the first recording interval.

[0134] In some embodiments, the apparatus further includes a transmitting unit 803, configured to transmit measurement information within one or more recording intervals to the network device after the UE enters the connected state.

[0135] In some implementations, the first time threshold is configured by the network device in the first configuration information.

[0136] In some implementations, the first time threshold is configured based on the measurement information of other UEs in the area where the UE is located and / or the importance of the measurement information of the UE.

[0137] In some implementations, the first time threshold is set by the UE based on the intensity of detected IDC interference.

[0138] In some implementations, the time during which the UE is subjected to IDC interference within the first recording interval is:

[0139] The end time of the first recording interval minus the time during which DCI interference was detected within the first recording interval; or,

[0140] The time it takes for the interference to be resolved within the first recording interval minus the start time of the first recording interval.
