[0021] Hereinafter, the measuring relaxation method and device / storage medium / apparatus provided by the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0022] FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a measurement relaxation method performed by a UE provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the measurement relaxation method may include the following steps 101-102.

[0023] In step 101, obtain at least one relax criterion of a first release set by a network side device.

[0024] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE may be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user. The terminal device may communicate with one or more core networks via a RAN (Radio Access Network), and the UE may be, for example, a sensor device, an Internet of Things such as a mobile phone (also called a "cellular" phone), and a computer with the Internet of Things, and may be, for example, a fixed, portable, pocket, handheld, computer-embedded, or vehicle-mounted device. For example, a station (STA), subscriber unit, subscriber station, mobile station, mobile, remote station, access point, remote terminal, access terminal, user terminal, or user agent. Or, the UE may be an unmanned aerial vehicle device. Or, the UE may be an in-vehicle device, and may be, for example, a mobile computer with wireless communication capabilities, or a wireless communication device with an external mobile computer. Or, the UE may be a roadside device, such as a street lamp, a traffic light or other roadside device with wireless communication capabilities.

[0025] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE may be a Redcap UE.

[0026] And, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first release may be Release-17.

[0027] Further, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the at least one relaxation criterion of the first release comprises: Criterion 1, which is a stationary user relaxation criterion (e.g., stationaryMobilityEvaluation); and criterion 2, which is a stationary user relax criterion located at a non-cell edge (eg, cellEdgeEvaluationWhileStationary).

[0028] In step 102, the UE performs a measured relaxation operation in response to meeting one or more relaxation criterion of the at least one relaxation criterion of the first release.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, it is determined whether the UE satisfies the relax criterion for the first release mainly by determining whether the UE satisfies a "stationary" condition and / or a "non-cell edge" condition. Specifically, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, if the UE only satisfies the "stationary" condition, it is determined that the UE satisfies the above criterion 1, and if the UE simultaneously satisfies the "stationary" condition and the "non-cell edge" condition, it is determined that the UE satisfies the above criterion 2.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for determining whether the UE satisfies a condition of "stationary" may include: when determining that the received signal strength of the UE has decreased, a first preset time period (T SearchDeltaP-Stationary ) the preset received signal strength reference value Srxlev of the current serving cell Ref (in dB) and the UE's actual received signal strength Srxlev (in dB) in the current serving cell is equal to or greater than a first preset threshold S SearchDeltaP-Stationary and within the first preset time period, determine whether (Srxlev Ref -Srxlev) is always S SearchDeltaP-Stationary If it is smaller, the UE's current signal amplitude change is considered to be small, i.e., the UE is almost in a stationary state, thereby determining that the UE meets the stationary user relaxation criterion; otherwise, determining that the UE does not meet the stationary user relaxation criterion.

[0031] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the reference value SrxlevRef Specifically, the reference value Srxlev may be preset in the serving cell, where Srxlev Ref The setting conditions may include at least one of the following (1) to (3). (1) The UE selects or reselects a new cell. That is, when the UE reselects a new cell, the corresponding reference value Srxlev for the newly selected serving cell is Ref Set. (2) (Srxlev-SrxlevRef>0). That is, the reference value Srxlev set for the serving cell Ref must be less than the UE's actual received signal strength Srxlev in the current serving cell. (3) T SearchDeltaP-Stationary The judgment condition (Srxlev Ref -Srxlev SearchDeltaP-Stationary ) is not satisfied. That is, T SearchDeltaP-Stationary Inside, Srxlev Ref -Srxlev is S SearchDeltaP-Stationary If it is determined that the Ref Reconfigure .

[0032] And in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for determining whether the UE meets the condition of "non-cell edge" may include: searchThresholdP2 Determine whether Srxlev>S searchThresholdP2 If so, the UE is considered to be located at a non-cell edge and is determined to meet the criteria for the UE being located at a non-cell edge; otherwise, the UE is determined to not meet the criteria for the UE being located at a non-cell edge. Then, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the third preset threshold S searchThresholdQ2 In some cases, S searchThresholdQ2 If set, when the UE determines whether it meets the "non-cell edge" condition, the UE's current Srxlev is less than or equal to S searchThresholdP2 It is necessary to determine whether the actual received signal quality Squal of the UE in the current serving cell is greater than or equal to a third preset threshold S searchThresholdQ2 ​Determine whether Srxlev>S searchThresholdP2 And Squal>S searchThresholdQ2 If so, then the UE is considered to be located at a non-cell edge and it is determined that the UE meets the criteria for being located at a non-cell edge; otherwise, it is determined that the UE does not meet the criteria for being located at a non-cell edge.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first preset time period and the first to third preset thresholds may be provided by a base station, and the determination condition (for example, (Srxlev Ref -Srxlev) is S SearchDeltaP (determining whether the UE meets the stationary condition by determining whether the Rx_UE_ID is smaller than the Rx_UE_ID) may be agreed upon by a protocol.

[0034] Further, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the measurement relax operation includes: Stopping the measurement for a preset length of time (e.g., the measurement may be stopped within the preset length of time); and relaxing the measurement interval with an expansion factor.

[0035] Here, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the expansion coefficient may specifically be a real number greater than 1, and relaxing the measurement interval using the expansion coefficient may specifically include achieving the purpose of relaxing the measurement interval by setting the product of the expansion coefficient and the measurement period in a normal measurement state as the measurement period of the relaxed measurement.

[0036] And in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the UE meets the relaxation criteria of different first releases, the operation of performing measurement relaxation is also different accordingly. Here, the contents of this part will be described in detail in the following embodiment.

[0037] From the above, in the measurement relax method and device / storage medium / apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE can obtain at least one relax criterion of a first release set by a network side device, and perform a measurement relax operation in response to the UE satisfying one or more of the relax criterion of the at least one relax criterion of the first release. As can be seen from the above, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a measurement relax method for a first release, so that the UE can perform a corresponding measurement relax according to the relax criterion of the first release set by a network side device, and save power consumption.

[0038] It should be noted that in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the execution steps of the measurement relax method provided by the above embodiment are related to area information of the area where the UE is located in the current serving cell (e.g., cell center area, non-cell center area), frequency domain information between the measurement target cell and the current serving cell (e.g., same frequency or different frequency), and priority information between the measurement target cell and the current serving cell (e.g., same priority, low priority, or high priority). Here, when the above area information, frequency domain information, or priority information is different, the specific execution steps of the measurement relax method are also different accordingly. Below, the measurement relax methods corresponding to "area information, different frequency domain information, and priority information" in different cases will be introduced in detail.

[0039] 2a is a schematic flowchart of another measurement relax method performed by a UE provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, where in the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 2, the UE may be located in a non-cell center area, and the measurement target cell corresponding to the UE may be at least one of the following: a same-frequency cell of the cell where the UE is located, a same-priority different-frequency cell of the cell where the UE is located, and a low-priority different-frequency cell of the cell where the UE is located. As shown in FIG. 2, the measurement relax method may include the following steps 201-202.

[0040] In step 201, criterion 1 and criterion 2 set by the network side device are obtained.

[0041] That is, in this embodiment, the network side device simultaneously sets criterion 1 and criterion 2 for the UE.

[0042] In step 202, the UE performs a measured relaxation operation in response to meeting one or more relaxation criterion(s) of the at least one relaxation criterion of the first release.

[0043] Here, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the UE satisfies different relaxation criteria, the measurement relaxation operations performed are also different.

[0044] Specifically, as can be seen from the above, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above criterion 1 is a "stationary user relax criterion", and the above criterion 2 is a "stationary user relax criterion located at a non-cell edge", and thus the criterion 2 can be considered as an additional restrictive condition of "non-cell edge" based on the criterion 1. Based on this, if the UE satisfies the criterion 2 or if the UE satisfies the criterion 1 and the criterion 2 at the same time, it indicates that the UE satisfies the condition of "stationary" and the condition of "non-cell edge" at the same time, and at this time, the measurement relax operation can be directly performed on the UE. Also, if the UE only satisfies the criterion 1, it indicates that the UE currently only satisfies the condition of "stationary" and does not satisfy the condition of "non-cell edge", and at this time, the measurement relax operation cannot be directly performed on the UE, and it is necessary to determine whether to perform the measurement relax operation on the UE based on the setting by the network side device.

[0045] Here, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the network side device can set "whether to perform a measurement relax operation on the UE when criterion 1 and criterion 2 are configured in the UE and the UE satisfies only criterion 1" by sending a first instruction message to the UE. Specifically, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first instruction message is used to instruct the UE whether to perform a measurement relax operation on the UE when criterion 1 and criterion 2 are configured in the UE and the UE satisfies only criterion 1. Here, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first instruction message may include a first carrier field for carrying a first instruction value, and if the first instruction value is a first numerical value, the first instruction message instructs the UE to perform a measurement relax operation on the UE when criterion 1 and criterion 2 are configured in the UE and the UE satisfies only criterion 1, and if the first instruction value is a second numerical value, the first instruction message instructs the UE not to perform a measurement relax operation based on the relaxation criterion of the first release when criterion 1 and criterion 2 are configured in the UE and the UE satisfies only criterion 1.

[0046] Here, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first indication message may be, for example, an RRC (Radio Resource Control) message, the first carrier field may be, for example, an IE combineRelaxedMeasCondition-17, the first value may be, for example, false, and the second value may be, for example, true. Also, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the combineRelaxedMeasCondition-17 can reuse an IE combineRelaxedMeasCondition of a second release, where the second release precedes the first release, and the second release may be, for example, Release-15 and / or Release-16.

[0047] Based on this, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned method of "performing a measurement relaxation operation in response to the UE satisfying one or more relaxation criteria of at least one relaxation criterion of a first release" may specifically include the following: In response to the UE simultaneously satisfying criterion 1 and criterion 2, the UE performs a first measurement relax action, which is to stop measuring for a first preset length of time, where the first preset length of time may be, for example, X1 time (X1>1).

[0048] In response to the UE satisfying only criterion 1, determine whether the UE receives a first indication message sent from the network side device, and determine whether the UE satisfies a first preset condition or a second preset condition, if the UE satisfies the first preset condition, perform a second measurement relax operation, which includes relaxing the measurement interval using an expansion factor K1 (K1>3) and / or stopping measuring a second preset time length, which may be, for example, X2 time (X2≦X1), if the UE satisfies the second preset condition, do not perform the measurement relax operation based on the relax criterion of the first release. In addition, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the UE decides not to perform the measurement relax operation based on the relaxation criteria for the first release, the UE may further determine whether or not the relaxation criteria for the second release are set, and if the relaxation criteria for the second release are not set in the UE, the measurement relax operation may not be performed, if the relaxation criteria for the second release are set in the UE and the UE satisfies the relaxation criteria for the second release, the UE may perform the measurement relax operation according to the relaxation criteria for the second release, and if the relaxation criteria for the second release are set in the UE but the UE does not satisfy the relaxation criteria for the second release, the measurement relax operation may not be performed (here, the content of this section is also valid for "not performing the measurement relax operation based on the relaxation criteria for the first release" in subsequent embodiments).

[0049] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first preset condition is: The UE does not receive the first indication message; and The method may include at least one of: the UE receives a first instruction message, the first instruction message includes a first carrier field, and the first instruction value carried by the first carrier field is a first numerical value.

[0050] The second preset condition is: The UE may receive a first indication message, the first indication message may include a first carrier field and a first indication value carried by the first carrier field being a second numerical value.

[0051] Illustratively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, assuming that a network side device sets criterion 1 and criterion 2 in a UE and the UE only satisfies criterion 1, if the UE receives a first indication message and determines that the first indication message includes a first carrier field and the first indication value carried by the first carrier field is a second numerical value, it determines not to perform a measurement relax operation based on the relaxation criterion of the first release, and if it determines that the UE has not received the first indication message, it determines to relax the measurement interval using an extension factor 4.

[0052] In addition, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 2b is a schematic diagram of a cell provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in FIG. 2b, the cell includes an edge area, a middle area, and a cell center area, where the edge area and the middle area are both circular areas, and the cell center area is an elliptical area. And the non-center area includes the edge area and the middle area, and the not in cell edge area includes the middle area and the cell center area. Based on this, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when a UE is located in a non-cell center area and the UE satisfies the above criterion 2 (i.e., the stationary user relaxation criterion located in a non-cell edge), it can be determined that the UE is not located in the cell center area and not located in the edge area, but located in the middle area between the cell center area and the edge area.

[0053] From the above, in the measurement relax method and device / storage medium / apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE can obtain at least one relax criterion of a first release set by a network side device, and perform a measurement relax operation in response to the UE satisfying one or more of the relax criterion of the at least one relax criterion of the first release. As can be seen from the above, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a measurement relax method for a first release, so that the UE can perform a corresponding measurement relax according to the relax criterion of the first release set by a network side device, and save power consumption.

[0054] 3 is a schematic flowchart of a further measurement relaxation method performed by a UE provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, in which the UE may be located in a non-cell center area, and the measurement target cell corresponding to the UE may be at least one of the following: a same-frequency cell of the cell where the UE is located, a same-priority different-frequency cell of the cell where the UE is located, and a low-priority different-frequency cell of the cell where the UE is located. As shown in FIG. 3, the measurement relaxation method may include the following steps 301 to 302.

[0055] In step 301, a criterion 1 set by a network side device is obtained.

[0056] That is, in this embodiment, the network side device only sets criterion 1 for the UE.

[0057] At step 302, in response to the UE satisfying one or more relaxation criterion of the at least one relaxation criterion of the first release, a measured relaxation operation is performed.

[0058] Here, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to the UE satisfying criterion 1, the UE performs a second measurement relax operation.

[0059] And, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second measurement relax operation may include relaxing the measurement interval using an expansion factor K1 (K1>3) and / or stopping the measurement for a second preset length of time, which may be, for example, X2 hours (X2≦X1).

[0060] From the above, in the measurement relax method and device / storage medium / apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE can obtain at least one relax criterion of a first release set by a network side device, and perform a measurement relax operation in response to the UE satisfying one or more of the relax criterion of the at least one relax criterion of the first release. As can be seen from the above, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a measurement relax method for a first release, so that the UE can perform a corresponding measurement relax according to the relax criterion of the first release set by a network side device, and save power consumption.

[0061] As can be seen in combination with the above content, for the case where "the UE is located in a non-cell center area, and at the same time, the cell to be measured is at least one of the same frequency cell of the cell in which the UE is located, the same priority different frequency cell of the cell in which the UE is located, and the low priority different frequency cell of the cell in which the UE is located," the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a specific measurement relaxation method.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when performing a measurement relax operation, the relaxation level of the measurement relax operation performed when the cell to be measured is a same-frequency cell of the cell in which the UE is located, a same-priority different-frequency cell of the cell in which the UE is located, or a low-priority different-frequency cell of the cell in which the UE is located may be the same (for example, the time length for stopping measurement is the same and / or the expansion coefficient used is the same).

[0063] FIG. 4 is a schematic flowchart of another measurement relaxation method performed by a UE provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. When the UE is located in a non-cell center area, the cell to be measured is a high-priority different-frequency cell. As shown in FIG. 4, the measurement relaxation method may include the following steps 401 to 402.

[0064] In step 401, criterion 1 and criterion 2 set by the network side device are obtained.

[0065] That is, in this embodiment, the network side device simultaneously sets criterion 1 and criterion 2 for the UE.

[0066] At step 402, in response to the UE satisfying one or more relaxation criterion of the at least one relaxation criterion of the first release, a measured relaxation operation is performed.

[0067] Here, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, for a detailed explanation of steps 401-402, please refer to the related explanation of steps 201-202 in the above embodiment, and a detailed explanation will be omitted in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0068] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when performing a measurement relax operation, the relaxation level of the measurement relax operation performed when the cell to be measured is a high-priority different-frequency cell may be the same as the relaxation level of the measurement relax operation performed when the cell to be measured is an same-frequency cell, an same-priority different-frequency cell, and a low-priority different-frequency cell, or may be more relaxed (e.g., the time length for which measurement is stopped is longer and / or the expansion coefficient used is larger).

[0069] From the above, in the measurement relax method and device / storage medium / apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE can obtain at least one relax criterion of a first release set by a network side device, and perform a measurement relax operation in response to the UE satisfying one or more of the relax criterion of the at least one relax criterion of the first release. As can be seen from the above, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a measurement relax method for a first release, so that the UE can perform a corresponding measurement relax according to the relax criterion of the first release set by a network side device, and save power consumption.

[0070] FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of another measurement relaxation method performed by a UE provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, the measurement relaxation method may include the following steps 501-502.

[0071] In step 501, a criterion 1 set by a network side device is obtained.

[0072] That is, in this embodiment, the network side device only sets criterion 1 for the UE.

[0073] At step 502, in response to the UE satisfying one or more relaxation criterion of the at least one relaxation criterion of the first release, a measured relaxation operation is performed.

[0074] Here, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, for a detailed explanation of steps 501-502, please refer to the related explanation of steps 301-302 in the above embodiment, and a detailed explanation will be omitted in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0075] From the above, in the measurement relax method and device / storage medium / apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE can obtain at least one relax criterion of a first release set by a network side device, and perform a measurement relax operation in response to the UE satisfying one or more of the relax criterion of the at least one relax criterion of the first release. As can be seen from the above, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a measurement relax method for a first release, so that the UE can perform a corresponding measurement relax according to the relax criterion of the first release set by a network side device, and save power consumption.

[0076] FIG. 6 is a schematic flowchart of another measurement relaxation method performed by a UE provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. When the UE is located in a cell center area, the cell to be measured is a high-priority different-frequency cell. As shown in FIG. 6, the measurement relaxation method may include the following steps 601 to 602.

[0077] In step 601, criteria 1 and criterion 2 set by the network side device are obtained.

[0078] That is, in this embodiment, the network side device simultaneously sets criterion 1 and criterion 2 for the UE.

[0079] At step 602, in response to the UE satisfying one or more relaxation criterion of the at least one relaxation criterion of the first release, a measured relaxation operation is performed.

[0080] In addition, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the UE is located in a cell center area and the measurement target cell is a high-priority different frequency cell, the network side device may configure a second instruction message for the UE, and the second instruction message instructs the UE located in the cell center area to perform a measurement relax operation on the high-priority different frequency cell. Here, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second instruction message may include a second carrier field carrying a second instruction value, and when the second instruction value is a third numerical value, the second instruction message instructs the UE located in the cell center area to perform a measurement relax operation on the high-priority different frequency cell, and when the first instruction value is a fourth numerical value, the second instruction message instructs the UE located in the cell center area not to perform a measurement relax operation on the high-priority different frequency cell based on the relaxation criterion of the first release.

[0081] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second instruction message may be, for example, an RRC message, the second carrier field may be, for example, highPriorityMeasRelax, the third value may be, for example, true, and the fourth value may be, for example, false.

[0082] Based on this, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned method of "performing a measurement relaxation operation in response to the UE satisfying one or more relaxation criteria of the at least one relaxation criterion of the first release" specifically includes: In response to the UE satisfying criterion 1 and criterion 2, determining whether the UE receives a second instruction message sent from the network side device, and determining whether the UE satisfies a third preset condition or a fourth preset condition, if the UE satisfies the third preset condition, the UE performs a third measurement relax operation, which is to stop measuring for a third preset time length, the third preset time length may be, for example, X3 time (X3>1), and if the UE satisfies the fourth preset condition, the UE does not perform the measurement relax operation based on the relaxation criterion of the first release.

[0083] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the third preset condition is: The UE may receive a second indication message, the second indication message may include a second carrier field and the second indication value carried by the second carrier field may be a third numerical value.

[0084] The fourth preset condition is: The UE may receive a second indication message, the second indication message may include a second carrier field and the second indication value carried by the second carrier field may be a fourth numerical value.

[0085] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the network side device sets criterion 1 and criterion 2 for the UE, and the UE simultaneously satisfies criterion 1 and criterion 2, if the UE receives a second indication message and determines that the second indication message includes a second carrier field and the second indication value carried by the second carrier field is a third numerical value, it determines to perform a third measurement relax operation, for example, stop measurement for 3 hours. If the UE determines that it has not received the second indication message, it determines not to perform a measurement relax operation based on the relax criterion of the first release.

[0086] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned method of “performing a measurement relaxation operation in response to the UE satisfying one or more relaxation criterion of the at least one relaxation criterion of the first release” specifically includes: In response to the UE satisfying criterion 1 and criterion 2, determining whether the UE satisfies a fifth preset condition or a sixth preset condition, and if the UE satisfies the fifth preset condition, performing a third measurement relax operation, which is to stop measuring for a third preset time length, the third preset time length may be, for example, X3 time (X3>1); and may include if the UE satisfies the sixth preset condition, not performing the measurement relax operation based on the first release relax criterion.

[0087] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the fifth preset condition is: The UE may receive second indication information, the second indication message may include a second carrier field and a second indication value carried in the second carrier field.

[0088] Furthermore, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the sixth preset condition is: The UE does not receive the second indication message; and The UE may include at least one of receiving a second indication message and the second indication message does not include a second carrier field.

[0089] Further, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to the UE only satisfying criterion 1, determine whether the UE receives a first indication message sent from a network side device (please refer to the description of the above embodiment for details on the first indication message), determine whether the UE satisfies a first preset condition or a second preset condition (please refer to the description of the above embodiment for details on the first preset condition or the second preset condition), and if the UE satisfies the second preset condition, the UE does not perform a measurement relax operation based on the relax criterion of the first release. If the UE satisfies the first preset condition, further determine whether the UE receives a second indication message sent from a network side device, and perform a measurement relax operation based on the second indication message.

[0090] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, performing the measurement relax operation based on the second instruction message may include determining whether the UE satisfies a fifth preset condition or a sixth preset condition, and if the UE satisfies the fifth preset condition, performing a fourth measurement relax operation, which is to stop measuring for a fourth preset time length, where the fourth preset time length may be, for example, X4 hours (X4≦X3), and / or relaxing the measurement interval using an expansion factor K2 (K2>3), and if the UE satisfies the sixth preset condition, not performing the measurement relax operation based on the relaxation criterion of the first release.

[0091] Here, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the fifth preset condition is: The UE may receive second indication information, the second indication message may include a second carrier field and a second indication value carried in the second carrier field.

[0092] Furthermore, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the sixth preset condition is: The UE does not receive the second indication message; and The UE may include at least one of receiving a second indication message and the second indication message does not include a second carrier field.

[0093] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, assuming that the network side device sets criterion 1 and criterion 2 for the UE and the UE only satisfies criterion 1, when the UE determines that it has not received the first indication message and receives the second indication message, the second indication message includes a second carrier field and carries a second indication value in the second carrier field, it determines to perform a fourth measurement relax operation, for example, stop measurement for one hour. If the UE determines that it has not received the first indication message and has not received the second indication message, the UE does not perform a measurement relax operation based on the relax criterion of the first release.

[0094] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, performing the measurement relax operation based on the second instruction message may include determining whether the UE satisfies a third preset condition or a fourth preset condition, and if the UE satisfies the third preset condition, performing a fourth measurement relax operation, which is to stop measuring for a fourth preset time length, where the fourth preset time length may be, for example, X4 hours (X4≦X3), and / or relaxing the measurement interval using an expansion factor K2 (K2>3), and if the UE satisfies the fourth preset condition, not performing the measurement relax operation based on the relax criterion of the first release.

[0095] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the third preset condition is: The UE may receive a second indication message, the second indication message may include a second carrier field and the second indication value carried by the second carrier field may be a third numerical value.

[0096] The fourth preset condition is: The UE may receive a second indication message, the second indication message may include a second carrier field and the second indication value carried by the second carrier field may be a fourth numerical value.

[0097] From the above, in the measurement relax method and device / storage medium / apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE can obtain at least one relax criterion of a first release set by a network side device, and perform a measurement relax operation in response to the UE satisfying one or more of the relax criterion of the at least one relax criterion of the first release. As can be seen from the above, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a measurement relax method for a first release, so that the UE can perform a corresponding measurement relax according to the relax criterion of the first release set by a network side device, and save power consumption.

[0098] FIG. 7 is a schematic flowchart of another measurement relaxation method performed by a UE provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. When the UE is located in a cell center area, the cell to be measured is a high-priority different-frequency cell. As shown in FIG. 7, the measurement relaxation method may include the following steps 701 to 702.

[0099] In step 701, the criterion 1 set by the network side device is obtained.

[0100] That is, in this embodiment, the network side device only sets criterion 1 for the UE.

[0101] At step 702, in response to the UE satisfying one or more relaxation criterion of the at least one relaxation criterion of the first release, a measured relaxation operation is performed.

[0102] Here, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to the UE satisfying criterion 1, determine whether the UE receives a second instruction message sent from the network side device, and determine whether the UE satisfies a fifth preset condition or a sixth preset condition; if the UE satisfies the fifth preset condition, perform a fourth measurement relax operation, which is to stop measuring a fourth preset time length, and the fourth preset time length may be, for example, X4 time (X4≦X3), and / or relax the measurement interval using an expansion coefficient K2 (K2>3); if the UE satisfies the sixth preset condition, the UE does not perform the measurement relax operation based on the relaxation criterion of the first release.

[0103] Here, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the fifth preset condition is: The UE may receive second indication information, the second indication message may include a second carrier field and a second indication value carried in the second carrier field.

[0104] Furthermore, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the sixth preset condition is: The UE does not receive the second indication message; and The UE may include at least one of receiving a second indication message and the second indication message does not include a second carrier field.

[0105] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the network side device sets criterion 1 for the UE and the UE satisfies criterion 1, if the UE receives a second indication message and determines that the second indication message includes a second carrier field and carries a second indication value in the second carrier field, it determines to perform a fourth measurement relax operation, for example, stops measurement for one hour. If the UE determines that it has not received the second indication message, the UE does not perform a measurement relax operation based on the relax criterion of the first release.

[0106] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to the UE satisfying criterion 1, determine whether the UE receives a second indication message sent from the network side device, and determine whether the UE satisfies a third preset condition or a fourth preset condition, if the UE satisfies the third preset condition, perform a fourth measurement relax operation, which is to stop measuring for a fourth preset time length, the fourth preset time length may be, for example, X4 time (X4≦X3), and / or relax the measurement interval using an expansion factor K2 (K2>3), and if the UE satisfies the fourth preset condition, the UE does not perform the measurement relax operation based on the relaxation criterion of the first release.

[0107] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the third preset condition is: The UE may receive a second indication message, the second indication message may include a second carrier field and the second indication value carried by the second carrier field may be a third numerical value.

[0108] The fourth preset condition is: The UE may receive a second indication message, the second indication message may include a second carrier field and the second indication value carried by the second carrier field may be a fourth numerical value.

[0109] From the above, in the measurement relax method and device / storage medium / apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE can obtain at least one relax criterion of a first release set by a network side device, and perform a measurement relax operation in response to the UE satisfying one or more of the relax criterion of the at least one relax criterion of the first release. As can be seen from the above, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a measurement relax method for a first release, so that the UE can perform a corresponding measurement relax according to the relax criterion of the first release set by a network side device, and save power consumption.

[0110] FIG. 8 is a schematic flowchart of another measurement relaxation method performed by a UE provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 8, the measurement relaxation method may include the following steps 801 to 804.

[0111] In step 801, obtain at least one relax criterion of a first release set by a network side device.

[0112] In step 802, at least one relax criterion of a second release set by a network side device is obtained.

[0113] Illustratively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second release precedes the first release, and the second release may include Release-15 and / or Release-16, and the first release may include Release-17.

[0114] In step 803, in response to the UE satisfying one or more relaxation criteria of the at least one relaxation criterion of the first release, the UE performs a measurement relaxation action, otherwise, the UE does not perform a measurement relaxation action based on the relaxation criterion of the first release.

[0115] For other detailed explanations regarding steps 801 to 803, please refer to the explanations of the above embodiments, and detailed explanations will be omitted in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0116] In step 804, in response to the UE not satisfying all the relaxation criteria of the first release, the UE performs a measured relaxation action based on at least one relaxation criterion of the second release.

[0117] That is, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when a network side device simultaneously sets at least one relaxation criterion of a first release and at least one relaxation criterion of a second release for a UE, the UE will prioritize judgment on the relaxation criterion of the first release, and if the relaxation criterion of the first release is not satisfied, will continue to judge on the relaxation criterion of the second release.

[0118] From the above, in the measurement relax method and device / storage medium / apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE can obtain at least one relax criterion of a first release set by a network side device, and perform a measurement relax operation in response to the UE satisfying one or more of the relax criterion of the at least one relax criterion of the first release. As can be seen from the above, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a measurement relax method for a first release, so that the UE can perform a corresponding measurement relax according to the relax criterion of the first release set by a network side device, and save power consumption.

[0119] In addition, when the network side device simultaneously sets at least one relaxation criterion of a first release and at least one relaxation criterion of a second release for the UE, if the UE simultaneously satisfies the relaxation criterion of the first release (i.e., Release-17) and the relaxation criterion of the second release (i.e., Release-16), the behavior of the measurement relaxation method performed when the relaxation criteria of different releases are satisfied is different, so that it is possible to select a measurement relaxation method corresponding to a specific relaxation criterion of which release to use based on the power saving gain.

[0120] Specifically, one embodiment of the present disclosure may include the following cases: Case 1: the UE meets the low mobility relaxation criterion in Release-16 and the stationary user relaxation criterion in Release-17, and the UE directly uses the measurement relaxation method corresponding to the stationary user relaxation criterion in Release-17. Case 2: The UE meets the non-cell edge relaxation criterion in Release-16 and the stationary user relaxation criterion in Release-17, and it cannot determine which measurement relaxation method can bring more power saving effect. At this time, it is more likely to use the measurement relaxation method corresponding to the stationary user relaxation criterion in Release-17. Case 3: The UE meets the non-cell edge relaxation criteria and low mobility relaxation criteria in Release-16 and meets the stationary user relaxation criteria in Release-17, and it cannot determine which measurement relaxation method can bring more power saving effect. At this time, the measurement relaxation method corresponding to the stationary user relaxation criterion in Release-17 is selected. Case 4: The UE satisfies the low mobility relaxation criterion in Release-16 and also satisfies the non-cell edge relaxation criterion and the stationary user relaxation criterion in Release-17, and simultaneously uses the measurement relaxation method corresponding to the stationary user relaxation criterion in Release-17 and the measurement relaxation method corresponding to the non-cell edge relaxation criterion. Case 5: the UE satisfies the non-cell edge relaxation criterion in Release-16 and also satisfies the non-cell edge relaxation criterion and the stationary user relaxation criterion in Release-17, and uses a measurement relaxation method corresponding to the stationary user relaxation criterion in Release-17 and a measurement relaxation method corresponding to the non-cell edge relaxation criterion. The specific reason is that the UE that does not meet the non-cell edge relaxation criterion in Release-16 may meet the stationary user relaxation criterion in Release-17, so the number of UEs that meet the non-cell edge relaxation criterion in Release-16 is greater than the number of UEs that meet the non-cell edge relaxation criterion and the stationary user relaxation criterion in Release-17, so it is more power-saving to use the measurement relaxation method corresponding to the stationary user relaxation criterion in Release-17. Case 6: The UE satisfies the non-cell edge relaxation criterion and low mobility criterion in Release-16 and satisfies the non-cell edge relaxation criterion and stationary user relaxation criterion in Release-17, and uses a measurement relaxation method corresponding to the stationary user relaxation criterion in Release-17 and a measurement relaxation method corresponding to the non-cell edge relaxation criterion.

[0121] FIG. 9 is a schematic flowchart of another measurement relaxation method performed by a network side device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 9, the measurement relaxation method includes the following step 901:

[0122] In step 901, at least one relax criterion for a first release is set in the UE.

[0123] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE may be a Redcap UE.

[0124] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first release may be Release-17.

[0125] Further, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the at least one relaxation criterion of the first release comprises: Criterion 1, which is a stationary user relaxation criterion (e.g., stationaryMobilityEvaluation); and criterion 2, which is a stationary user relax criterion located at a non-cell edge (eg, cellEdgeEvaluationWhileStationary).

[0126] Thus, in the measurement relaxation method and device / storage medium / apparatus provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the network side device can set at least one relaxation criterion of the first release for the UE. As can be seen from the above, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a measurement relaxation method for the first release, so that the UE can perform corresponding measurement relaxation according to the relaxation criterion of the first release set by the network side device, and save power consumption.

[0127] FIG. 10 is a schematic flowchart of another measurement relaxation method performed by a network side device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 10, the measurement relaxation method may include the following step 1001.

[0128] In step 1001, criterion 1 and criterion 2 are set in the UE.

[0129] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the network side device may further set "whether to perform a measurement relax operation for the UE when the UE satisfies only criterion 1 if the network side sets criterion 1 and criterion 2" by sending first instruction information to the UE. Specifically, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first instruction message is used to instruct the UE whether to perform a measurement relax operation when the UE satisfies only criterion 1 if the network side device sets criterion 1 and criterion 2 for the UE. Here, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first instruction message may include a first carrier field carrying a first instruction value, and if the first instruction value is a first numerical value, the first instruction message instructs the UE to perform a measurement relax operation when the UE satisfies only criterion 1 if the network side device sets criterion 1 and criterion 2 for the UE, and if the first instruction value is a second numerical value, the first instruction message instructs the UE not to perform a measurement relax operation based on the relaxation criterion of the first release if the UE satisfies only criterion 1 if the network side device sets criterion 1 and criterion 2 for the UE.

[0130] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first indication message may be, for example, an RRC (Radio Resource Control) message, the first carrier field may be, for example, an IE combineRelaxedMeasCondition-17, the first value may be, for example, false, and the second value may be, for example, true. Note that, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the combineRelaxedMeasCondition-17 can reuse an IE combineRelaxedMeasCondition of a second release, where the second release precedes the first release, and the second release may be, for example, Release-15 and / or Release-16.

[0131] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the network side device may set "whether or not the UE located in the cell center area performs a measurement relax operation on the high-priority different frequency cell" by sending a second instruction message to the UE. Specifically, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second instruction message instructs whether or not the UE located in the cell center area performs a measurement relax operation on the high-priority different frequency cell. Here, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second instruction message may include a second carrier field carrying a second instruction value, and if the second instruction value is a third numerical value, the second instruction message instructs the UE located in the cell center area to perform a measurement relax operation on the high-priority different frequency cell, and if the second instruction value is a fourth numerical value, the second instruction message instructs the UE located in the cell center area not to perform a measurement relax operation on the high-priority different frequency cell based on the relaxation criterion of the first release.

[0132] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second instruction message may be, for example, an RRC message, the second carrier field may be, for example, highPriorityMeasRelax, the third value may be, for example, true, and the fourth value may be, for example, false.

[0133] Thus, in the measurement relaxation method and device / storage medium / apparatus provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the network side device can set at least one relaxation criterion of the first release for the UE. As can be seen from the above, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a measurement relaxation method for the first release, so that the UE can perform corresponding measurement relaxation according to the relaxation criterion of the first release set by the network side device, and save power consumption.

[0134] FIG. 11 is a schematic flowchart of another measurement relaxation method performed by a network side device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 11, the measurement relaxation method may include the following step 1101.

[0135] In step 1101, criterion 1 is set in the UE.

[0136] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the network side device may set "whether the UE located in the cell center area performs a measurement relax operation on the high-priority different frequency cell" by sending a second instruction message to the UE. Specifically, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second instruction message instructs whether the UE located in the cell center area performs a measurement relax operation on the high-priority different frequency cell. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second instruction message may include a second carrier field carrying a second instruction value, and if the second instruction value is a third numerical value, the second instruction message instructs the UE located in the cell center area to perform a measurement relax operation on the high-priority different frequency cell, and if the second instruction value is a fourth numerical value, the second instruction message instructs the UE located in the cell center area not to perform a measurement relax operation on the high-priority different frequency cell based on the relaxation criterion of the first release.

[0137] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second instruction message may be, for example, an RRC message, the second carrier field may be, for example, highPriorityMeasRelax, the third value may be, for example, true, and the fourth value may be, for example, false.

[0138] Thus, in the measurement relaxation method and device / storage medium / apparatus provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the network side device can set at least one relaxation criterion of the first release for the UE. As can be seen from the above, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a measurement relaxation method for the first release, so that the UE can perform corresponding measurement relaxation according to the relaxation criterion of the first release set by the network side device, and save power consumption.
