[0020] Referring to Figure 1, a structural schematic diagram of a wireless communication system provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. As shown in Figure 1, the wireless communication system is a communication system based on cellular mobile communication technology, and may include a plurality of UEs 11 and a plurality of access devices 12.

[0021] Here, UE 11 may refer to a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user.

Here, the network management device 13 may be a core network device in a wireless communication system, for example, the network management device 13 may be a Mobility Management Entity (MME) in an evolved data packet core network (Evolved Packet Core, EPC). Or, the network management device may be another core network device, for example, a Serving GateWay (SGW), a Public Data Network GateWay (PGW), a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), or a Home Subscriber Server (HSS), etc. The implementation form of the network management device 13 is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 2, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method performed by a UE, and the method includes the following S210.

[0029] S210: Obtain a measurement mitigation parameter used for measurement mitigation by the UE for a radio signal transmitted from a network node; wherein the network node: MN node, and / or Includes SN nodes.

[0030] The UE described in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be a UE supporting dual connectivity. The dual connectivity supported by the UE may include Multi Radio Dual Connectivity (MR-DC), Evolution Universal mobile telecommunications system Terrestrial Radio Access Network-New Radio (E-UTRAN-NR) E-UTRAN-NR dual connectivity, Next Generation Radio Access Network- Universal mobile telecommunications system Terrestrial Radio Access-New Radio (NG-RAN-UTRA-NR) dual connectivity, or New Radio-New Radio (NR-NR) dual connectivity.

[0031] The dual connectivity UE may be in a connected state or a disconnected state, including but not limited to an inactive state and / or an idle state.

[0032] The measurement mitigation parameters may be used to mitigate measurements of radio signals transmitted from one or more network nodes to which the UE is connected.

[0033] Exemplarily, the measured relaxation parameter is Measurement relaxation criteria indicating the measurement relaxation conditions under which measurement relaxation is performed; and / or It may also include a measurement mitigation configuration used for radio signal measurement mitigation of the UE.

[0034] The measurement frequency at which wireless signal measurements are performed in accordance with the measurement relaxation setting is lower than the measurement frequency at which wireless signal measurements are performed without following the measurement relaxation setting.

[0035] The measurement relaxation setting is A measurement stop parameter for instructing the UE to decide to stop measuring the radio signal, where the measurement stop parameter can be used, exemplarily, to determine at least a start time and an end time by the UE to stop measuring the radio signal; a measurement period determination parameter for determining a measurement period after the frequency of wireless signal measurement is reduced; An evaluation period determination parameter for determining an evaluation period after the evaluation is lowered after the measurement relaxation; and a detection period determination parameter for determining the detection period after the detection period is shortened after the measurement relaxation.

[0036] Here, any of the network nodes may be a base station, which may be an eNB and / or a gNB.

[0037] Since the UE supports dual connectivity, the network nodes to which the UE connects can be divided into a master MN node of a master serving cell and an SN node of a secondary serving cell.

[0038] In some embodiments, the dual connectivity UE performing radio signal measurements in accordance with the measurement mitigation parameters may include mitigating radio signal measurements for a MN node and / or a SN node.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a dual connectivity UE relaxes its own measurements by obtaining a measurement relaxation parameter, thereby reducing unnecessary measurements when infrequent measurements are required or when measurements are not required, and reducing power consumption of the dual connectivity UE due to measurements.

[0040] In some embodiments, step S210 includes: receiving the measurement mitigation parameters transmitted from the network node; Or, Determining the measurement relaxation parameters according to a protocol convention.

[0041] The measurement mitigation parameters may be transmitted from a network node to the UE, for example, the MN node and / or the SN node of the UE transmits the measurement mitigation parameters to the UE.

[0042] If the measurement mitigation parameters are transmitted from a network node to the UE, the UE may receive the measurement mitigation parameters in advance, and when it needs to perform measurement mitigation, it may receive an effectuation instruction transmitted from the network device, and perform mitigation of radio signal measurements based on the effectuation instruction and the measurement mitigation and parameters received in advance.

[0043] Exemplarily, the UE may receive RRC signaling or MAC CE in which the measurement mitigation parameters are carried.

[0044] The UE may also determine the measurement mitigation parameter according to a protocol agreement. Exemplarily, when the protocol agrees on multiple candidate measurement mitigation parameters, the UE may select and use one candidate measurement mitigation parameter as a target measurement mitigation parameter according to its current battery remaining capacity and / or its mobility. After selecting the target measurement mitigation parameter, the UE may report information of the target measurement mitigation parameter to the network node, so as to easily inform the network node of the current measurement status of the wireless signal of the dual connectivity UE. Of course, the UE may not report information of the target measurement mitigation parameter.

[0045] In summary, there are various ways for the UE to obtain the measurement mitigation parameters, and the specific implementation is not limited to any one of the above.

[0046] The UE uses an Evolution Universal mobile telecommunications system Terrestrial Radio Access Network-New Radio (E-UTRAN-NR) E-UTRAN-NR dual connectivity, and the network node includes an SN node of E-UTRAN-NR dual connectivity; Or, The UE uses Next Generation Radio Access Network- Universal mobile telecommunications system Terrestrial Radio Access-New Radio (NG-RAN-UTRA-NR) dual connectivity, and the network node includes an SN node with NG-RAN-UTRA-NR dual connectivity; or The UE includes a New Radio- Evolution Universal mobile telecommunications system Terrestrial Radio Access Network (NR-E-UTRA) dual connectivity, and the network node includes a MN node with NR-E-UTRA dual connectivity; Or, The UE includes a New Radio-New Radio (NR-NR) dual connectivity, and the network node includes an MN node for NR-NR dual connectivity and / or an SN node for NR-NR dual connectivity.

[0047] If the UE supports dual connectivity, there is an RRC connection between the dual connectivity UE in a connected state and both the MN node and the SN node, at which time one of the MN node and the SN node has more frequent signaling and / or data communication with the UE, at which time the UE can exchange any information related to mitigation measurements with the network node, such as mitigation measurement parameters, capability information indicating the UE's measurement mitigation capability, mitigation measurement request information and / or mitigation measurement indication.

[0048] In some embodiments, the measured relaxation parameter is: RLM measured relaxation parameters, BFD measurement mitigation parameters, RRM measurement mitigation parameters.

[0049] After obtaining the RLM measurement mitigation parameters, the UE stops RLM measurement for a certain period of time or reduces the RLM measurement frequency based on the RLM measurement mitigation parameters.

[0050] What is RLM measurement? This is the process by which a UE in a connected (RRC_CONNECTED) state monitors the quality of the downlink radio link by measuring the downlink RLM-RS (SSB-RS and / or CSI-RS) of the serving cell (SpCell, inside active BWP) and determines whether the UE and the serving cell are in downlink synchronous (IS) or out-of-sync (OOS) state.

[0051] Specifically, the UE periodically measures each RLM-RS and compares the obtained measurements with a synchronization threshold (Q in ) and the asynchronous threshold (Q out ) to determine the IS / OOS state of the UE, and the physical layer reports the determined IS / OOS state to a higher layer. The higher layer here includes, but is not limited to, the RRC layer, and may be any layer higher than the physical layer.

[0052] Within the out-of-sync evaluation period (TEvaluate_out), the threshold Q out Evaluate whether the measurement results are lower than Q out If lower, Layer 1 (L1) reports an out-of-sync (OOS) indication to higher layers.

[0053] Within the in-sync evaluation period (TEvaluate_in), the threshold Q in If one of the measurements is better than the other, in If it is better than , L1 reports an IS indication to upper layers.

[0054] The higher layers decide the next action based on the reported information, i.e., if the OOS counter records N310 consecutive OOS indications, the UE starts the RLF timer T310 configured by the network.

[0055] When the IS counter has recorded N311 consecutive IS indications reported by the physical layer, it stops the T310 timing and the UE reports an RLF when T310 expires.

[0056] After obtaining the BFD measurement mitigation parameters, the UE may stop BFD measurement for a certain period of time or reduce the measurement frequency of BFD based on the BFD measurement mitigation parameters.

[0057] Since the beam-level communication link is easily blocked, the communication quality is easily deteriorated, and even communication failure may occur. When a downlink beam failure occurs, if the UE has a new candidate beam to replace the current failed beam, the recovery process of RLF beam failure caused by beam failure may be simplified, and the recovery process of the beam failure is as follows: 1) Beam Failure Detection (BFD): The detection target is the UE’s current service beam (SpCell and SCell), and the measurement content is the SSB-RS / CSI-RS (up to 2) of the corresponding service beam. The measurement results within the evaluation period (TEvaluate_BFD) are compared with the Qout_LR (BLER=10%) threshold. If all measurement results are lower than the threshold, a Beam Failure Instance Indication is triggered once. 2) If the number of L1 beam failure indications reaches the configured threshold (beamFailureInstanceMaxCount) before the configured beam failure detection timeout (beamFailureDetectionTimer) times out, the UE declares beam failure and initiates candidate beam detection (Candidate Beam Detection, CBD). 3) Candidate Beam Detection: The detection target is a set of candidate beams configured by the network for the UE, and the measurement content is the SSB-RS and / or CSI-RS of the corresponding candidate beam. The detection is based on a comparison of the measurement results within the evaluation period (TEvaluate_CBD) with the configured threshold Qin_LR (L1-RSRP), and among the candidate beams, those with measurement results higher than the threshold are selected as new available beams.

[0058] The UE notifies the network that it has found a new beam available, so that the network knows that it can utilize the new beam for downlink transmission.

[0059] After obtaining the RRM measurement mitigation parameters, the UE may stop RRM measurement for a certain period of time or reduce the frequency of RRM measurement based on the RRM measurement mitigation parameters.

[0060] The RRM measurements include measurements on the serving cell's SSB and / or neighboring cells' SSBs, and perform cell switching and / or cell reselection based on the SSB measurement results. The neighboring cells may include intra-frequency neighboring cells, different frequency neighboring cells, and / or different system neighboring cells.

[0061] As shown in FIG. 3, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method performed by a UE, and the method includes the following steps S310 to S320.

[0062] S310: Send capability information of the UE to a network node.

[0063] The UE may be a UE that supports dual connectivity and / or a UE that has dual connectivity.

[0064] Some of the capability information may be used to measure mitigation parameters by the network node and / or whether or not the network node instructs the UE to measure mitigation radio signals.

[0065] The measured relaxation parameters here may be the measured relaxation parameters provided by any of the embodiments described above.

[0066] Exemplarily, the capability information indicates mitigation measurements supported by the UE and / or indicates the degree of mitigation of radio signal measurements supported by the UE, and thus, based on the capability information, the network node can determine whether the UE supports radio signal measurement mitigation and / or the degree of mitigation when the UE supports radio signal measurement mitigation.

[0067] In some embodiments, the UE capability information report may be used in combination with or alone the method shown in Figure 2. For example, referring to Figure 3, after the UE reports its capability information, the network node determines measurement relaxation parameters for measurement relaxation by the UE for MCG and / or SCG based on the UE capability information, and sends the determined measurement relaxation parameters to the UE at S320.

[0068] Exemplarily, the capability information is: a first capability indicator indicating whether the UE supports RLM measurement mitigation; a second capability indicator indicating whether the UE supports BFD measurement mitigation; a third capability indicator indicating whether the UE supports RRM measurement mitigation.

[0069] The first capability indicator may be configured with one or more bits, different bit values ​​of which represent two capability states: the UE supports RLM measurement relaxation and the UE does not support RLM measurement relaxation.

[0070] The second capability indicator may be configured with one or more bits, different bit values ​​of which represent two capability states: the UE supports BFD measurement mitigation and the UE does not support BFD measurement mitigation.

[0071] The third capability indicator may be configured with one or more bits, with different bit values ​​of these bits representing two capability states: the UE supports RRM measurement mitigation and the UE does not support RRM measurement mitigation.

[0072] In some embodiments, the capability information may include one field, and different bits of the field may each correspond to one or more of the first capability indicator, the second capability indicator, and the third capability indicator, respectively.

[0073] In some embodiments, when there is an associated relationship between the measurement mitigation capabilities supported by the UE, the UE may unifiedly indicate that it supports two or three of RLM, BFD, and RRM measurement mitigation. For example, assuming that the UE supports RRM measurement mitigation, it indicates that the UE synchronously supports RLM measurement mitigation, and then one indicator may synchronously indicate whether the UE supports the mitigation of these two measurements, thereby reducing bit overhead.

[0074] In some embodiments, the capability information comprises: Type 1 capability information that unifies the measurement mitigation capability of the UE for all cell groups (CGs); A second type of capability information individually indicating the measurement mitigation capability of the UE for a primary cell group (Master Cell Group, MCG) and / or the measurement mitigation capability of the UE for a secondary cell group (Second Cell Group, SCG); and a third type of capability information indicating an association relationship between the measurement mitigation capability of the UE for an MCG and the measurement mitigation capability of the UE for an SCG.

[0075] For a dual connectivity UE, the radio measurements by the UE may include measurements on a primary cell and measurements on a secondary cell.

[0076] One of the cell groups may include at least one cell.

[0077] The first type of capability information uniformly indicates the UE's measurement relaxation capability for MCG and SCG, and in this case, if the first type of capability information indicates that the UE supports measurement relaxation, it indicates that the UE supports measurement relaxation in both MCG and SCG, and if the first type of capability information indicates that the UE does not support measurement relaxation, it indicates that the UE does not support measurement relaxation in both MCG and SCG.

[0078] The first type of capability information may be indicated by one bit, and has the characteristic of small bit overhead.

[0079] The second type capability information is for distinguishing CGs and individually indicating whether the UE supports mitigation, for example, the second type capability information includes an indicator indicating whether the UE supports MCG measurement mitigation and / or an indicator indicating whether the UE supports SCG measurement mitigation. For example, the second type capability indication information may also set two bits for each type of measurement, one bit indicating whether the UE's measurement in MCG supports mitigation, and another bit indicating whether the UE's measurement in SCG supports mitigation.

[0080] The third type capability information is a related indication, for example, if the UE indicates RLM measurement relaxation in the MCG, it must support RLM measurement relaxation in the SCG, and therefore can be indicated by the third type capability information. Also, if the UE supports BDF measurement relaxation in the SCG, it can be considered that it necessarily supports BDF measurement relaxation in the MCG.

[0081] Exemplarily, S310 includes: the UE sending the first type capability information of the UE to an SN node or an MN node of the EN-DC dual connectivity using the EN-DC dual connectivity; the UE sending the first type capability information of the UE to the MN node of the NE-DC dual connectivity using the NE-DC dual connectivity; The method may include at least one of the following steps: the UE transmits, using an NR-DC dual connection, the first type capability information of the UE to an MN node of the NR-DC dual connection.

[0082] According to the dual connectivity type of the UE, the first type of capability information is selected to be sent to the MN node or the SN node. If a measurement relaxation parameter is set in the network node, the capability information can be set by the receiving network node and sent to the UE, thus reducing the information exchange between the MN node and the SN node connected to the UE.

[0083] In some embodiments, the step of transmitting the UE capability information to the network node comprises: sending the second type capability information to the MN node, the second type capability information individually indicating the measurement mitigation capability of the UE for MCG; sending the second type capability information to an SN node, the second type capability information individually indicating the measurement mitigation capability of the UE for an SCG.

[0084] If the UE reports the second type of capability information, it reports the second type of capability information for MCG measurement mitigation capability to the MN node, and sends the second type of capability information of the UE's measurement mitigation capability for SCG measurement to the SN node.

[0085] In some embodiments, the step of transmitting the UE capability information to the network node comprises: transmitting said capability information to said MN node via a Signal Radio Bearer (SRB) SRB of said MN node; in response to an SRB being established in the SN node, transmitting the capability information to the SN node via an SRB of the SN node; a step of transmitting the capability information to the MN node via the SRB of the MN node in response to an SRB not being set up in the SN node, wherein the capability information is forwarded or transparently transmitted by the MN node to the SN node.

[0086] Usually, the MN node of the UE is configured with an SRB for signaling transmission with the UE, and the SN node may not be configured with an SRB for signaling transmission with the UE. In this case, the UE's second type capability information for MCG and SCG measurement relaxation can be transmitted to the MN node through the SRB configured by the MN node, and if the UE transmits the second type capability information for SCG measurement relaxation, the MN node receives it and then forwards or transparently transmits it to the SN node.

[0087] If an SRB is configured in the SN node itself, the UE may choose to transmit the second type capability information to the SN node via the SRB configured in the SN node.

[0088] In some cases, even if an SRB is configured in the SN node, considering that the MN node may know the UE's mitigation capability for SCG measurements, the UE may still choose to transmit the second type capability information for SCG measurement mitigation capability to the MN node via the SRB configured in the MN node.

[0089] Exemplarily, the MN node may configure SRB1 and / or SRB2 for the UE, and the SN node may configure at least SRB3 if an SRB is configured to communicate with the UE.

[0090] When a UE sends capability information to an MN node, the UE can send the capability information to the MN node via SRB1; thus, when the UE sends capability information to an SN node, it can send the capability information to the SN node via SRB3.

[0091] As shown in FIG. 4, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method performed by a UE, and the method includes the following S410.

[0092] S410: In response to detecting that a measurement relaxation condition is satisfied, send measurement relaxation request information to a network node, where the measurement relaxation request information triggers the network node to determine whether to allow measurement relaxation by the UE.

[0093] The information processing method may be performed individually or in combination with the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0094] For example, the measurement relaxation conditions may be indicated by the measurement relaxation criteria in the measurement relaxation parameters described above.

[0095] The network node here may be a MN node and / or an SN node corresponding to any one of the dual connections mentioned above.

[0096] Exemplarily, after receiving the measurement relaxation parameters from the network node or after determining the measurement relaxation parameters to be used by the protocol agreement, the UE determines whether the current situation meets the relaxation conditions based on the measurement relaxation criteria in the measurement relaxation parameters, and if the relaxation conditions are met, sends measurement relaxation request information to the network node, and if the network node allows the UE to perform measurement relaxation, the UE will receive a confirmation indication, and if the network node does not allow the UE to perform the UE relaxation measurement, the UE may receive a rejection indication or may not receive a response. When the UE receives the confirmation indication, it performs at least one measurement relaxation among RLM measurement, RRM measurement, and / or BFD measurement according to the relaxation setting in the measurement relaxation parameters, otherwise the UE does not relax the measurement.

[0097] In some embodiments, embodiments of the present disclosure provide an information processing method performed by a UE, the method comprising: In response to detecting that the relaxed measurement condition is satisfied, sending a notification to the network node indicating that the relaxed measurement condition is satisfied.

[0098] The information processing method may be performed individually or in combination with the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0099] For example, the measurement relaxation conditions may be indicated by the measurement relaxation criteria in the measurement relaxation parameters described above.

[0100] The network node here may be a MN node and / or an SN node corresponding to any one of the dual connections mentioned above.

[0101] Exemplarily, after receiving the measurement relaxation parameters from the network node or after determining the measurement relaxation parameters to be used by the protocol agreement, the UE determines whether the current situation meets the relaxation conditions based on the measurement relaxation criteria in the measurement relaxation parameters, and if the relaxation conditions are met, sends a measurement notification to the network node, and if the network node allows the UE to perform measurement relaxation, the UE will receive a confirmation indication, and if the network node does not allow the UE to perform the UE relaxation measurement, the UE may receive a rejection indication or may not receive a response. When the UE receives the confirmation indication, it performs at least one measurement relaxation among RLM measurement, RRM measurement, and / or BFD measurement according to the relaxation setting in the measurement relaxation parameters, otherwise the UE does not relax the measurement.

[0102] As shown in FIG. 5A, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method performed by a UE, and the method includes the following steps S510A to S530A.

[0103] S510A: In response to detecting that a measurement relaxation condition is met, send measurement relaxation request information to a network node, where the measurement relaxation request information triggers the network node to determine whether to allow measurement relaxation by the UE.

[0104] S520A: Receive a measurement relaxation instruction returned based on the measurement relaxation request information.

[0105] S530A: In response to the measurement mitigation indication allowing measurement mitigation by the UE, measure a wireless signal based on a mitigation setting of the measurement mitigation parameter.

[0106] After the dual connectivity UE detects that the measurement relaxation condition is met, it sends measurement relaxation request information to the network node, and after the MN node and / or SN node of the dual connectivity UE receives the measurement transmission request information, if the MN node and / or SN node allows the UE to perform measurement relaxation, the UE may receive an enable instruction in the measurement relaxation instruction, and if the MN node and / or SN node does not allow the UE to perform measurement relaxation, the UE may not receive an enable instruction in the measurement relaxation instruction or may receive a disable instruction.

[0107] As shown in FIG. 5B, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method performed by a UE, and the method includes the following steps S510B to S530B.

[0108] S510B: In response to detecting that the measurement relaxation condition is satisfied, send a notification to the network node indicating that the measurement relaxation condition is satisfied.

[0109] S520B: Receive a measurement relaxation instruction returned based on the notification.

[0110] S530B: In response to the measurement mitigation indication allowing measurement mitigation by the UE, measure a radio signal based on a mitigation setting of the measurement mitigation parameter.

[0111] After the dual connectivity UE detects that the measurement relaxation condition is met, it sends a notification to the network node, and after the MN node and / or SN node of the dual connectivity UE receives the notification, if the MN node and / or SN node allows the UE to perform measurement relaxation, the UE may receive an enable instruction in the measurement relaxation instruction, and if the MN node and / or SN node does not allow the UE to perform measurement relaxation, the UE may not receive an enable instruction in the measurement relaxation instruction or may receive a disable instruction.

[0112] When the network node indicates that the UE is allowed to transmit measurements, the UE may measure the radio signal based on a relaxation configuration in the measurement relaxation parameters. The relaxation configuration may include stopping the measurement configuration and / or reducing the measurement frequency configuration. When measuring the radio signal according to the stopping of the measurement configuration, the UE stops the radio signal for a certain period of time, and when measuring the radio signal according to the reducing of the measurement frequency configuration, the UE reduces the measurement frequency of the radio signal.

[0113] In some embodiments, the measurement relaxation instruction comprises: an enablement instruction for enabling measurement mitigation by the UE; a disable instruction to disable measurement mitigation by the UE.

[0114] The enable instruction may trigger the UE to initiate measurement relaxation, and the disable instruction may instruct the UE to stop measurement transmissions and / or not initiate measurement transmissions.

[0115] In some embodiments, the measurement relaxation instruction may be transmitted in a measurement relaxation parameter, and when transmitted to the UE in a measurement relaxation parameter, the measurement relaxation instruction may be explicitly indicated by the network device or may be implicitly indicated depending on whether other contents in the measurement relaxation parameter are transmitted, where the other contents include, but are not limited to, measurement relaxation criteria and / or measurement relaxation settings.

[0116] In the above-described embodiment, the satisfaction of the measurement relaxation condition is A first condition is satisfied, that is, a displacement amount of the UE within a preset time length is lower than a first threshold value, and / or a fluctuation value of a radio signal quality measured by the UE is lower than a third threshold value; Or, The method may include satisfying a second condition that the wireless signal quality measured by the UE is higher than a second threshold.

[0117] When the amount of displacement of the UE within a predetermined time period is smaller than a first threshold and / or the amount of change in radio signal quality is smaller than a third threshold, it can be recognized that the UE's movement state satisfies a stationary condition and / or a quasi-stationary or low mobility state, which indicates that the UE is less likely to perform cell switching and / or beam switching based on the measurement results of various radio signal measurements. By appropriately reducing the measurements made by the UE on radio signals, the electrical energy consumed by the UE measurements can be reduced and the standby time can be extended.

[0118] The preset time length may be any time length value limited by the relaxation condition, and for example, the time length value may be 10 min, 5 min, 1 min, 30 s, etc.

[0119] Assuming that the UE movement amount is extremely small and the transmission power of the radio signals of the MCG and / or SCG is kept constant, in the same radio environment, the radio signal quality measured by the UE also remains relatively stable.

[0120] For example, the radio signal quality may be Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), or Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) obtained by the UE measuring a synchronization signal block and / or a channel state information reference signal.

[0121] If the radio signal quality measured by the UE is higher than the corresponding radio signal quality threshold, it indicates that the UE is moving very little or is in the cell center, in which case the radio signal measurement can be appropriately stopped and / or the measurement frequency can be reduced to reduce the power consumption of the UE and extend the standby time of the UE.

[0122] In some embodiments, if the radio signal quality measured by the UE is always good, even if there are certain fluctuations, the UE can remain parked in the current serving cell, and therefore it can be determined whether the measurement relaxation condition is met based only on whether the radio signal quality value measured by the UE is higher than the second threshold.

[0123] The variation value may be the variance or standard deviation of the radio signal quality measured by the UE within a certain time length, or may be the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the radio signal quality measured by the UE within a certain time length. The variation value more intuitively reflects the variation of the radio signal quality measured by the UE. Thus, in some embodiments, it is possible to determine whether the current situation satisfies the measurement relaxation condition based only on the variation value of the radio signal quality.

[0124] In order for the UE to accurately control whether to perform measurement relaxation, when determining whether the measurement relaxation condition is met based on the radio signal quality, it can determine whether the current situation meets the measurement relaxation condition based on whether the radio signal quality is higher than a second threshold, and in combination with the fluctuation value of the radio signal quality.

[0125] Exemplarily, the second condition to be satisfied is: The radio signal quality of the MCG measured by the UE is greater than an MCG signal quality threshold, and / or the radio signal quality of the MCG measured by the UE is greater than an MCG fluctuation threshold; The radio signal quality of the SCG measured by the UE is greater than an SCG signal quality threshold, and / or the radio signal quality of the SCG measured by the UE is greater than an SCG fluctuation threshold; The radio signal quality of the MCG and / or the SCG measured by the UE is greater than a shared signal quality threshold, and / or the radio signal quality of the MCG and / or the SCG measured by the UE is greater than a shared variation threshold.

[0126] Here, the radio signal quality of the MCG is measured, that is, the radio signal quality of the cells of the MCG is measured, for example, the radio signal quality of the primary cell (Pcell) of the MCG, or the radio signal quality of all the MCG cells.

[0127] Here, the measurement of the radio signal quality of the SCG means the measurement of the radio signal quality of the cells of the SCG, for example, the measurement of the radio signal quality of the primary cell (Pscell) of the SCG, or the measurement of the radio signal quality of all SCG cells.

[0128] The same or different thresholds may be set for the MCG and SCG taking into account the location of the UE.

[0129] When thresholds for MCG and SCG are set separately, the MCG signal quality threshold may or may not be equal to the SCG signal quality threshold, and the SCG variation quality threshold may or may not be equal to the MCG signal quality threshold.

[0130] When a shared signal threshold and a shared variation threshold are used, the UE receives only one signal quality threshold and / or one variation threshold, and all UE measurements for the SCG and MCG are made using this one signal quality threshold and / or this one variation threshold to determine whether the measurement relaxation conditions are met.

[0131] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the step of detecting that the measurement relaxation condition is satisfied and sending measurement relaxation request information to the network node comprises: When the radio signal quality of the MCG measured by the UE satisfies the measurement relaxation condition, the UE sends a notification that the radio signal quality of the MCG satisfies the measurement relaxation condition to the network node, or reports measurement relaxation request information requesting relaxation of the MCG measurement; When the radio signal quality of the SCG measured by the UE satisfies the measurement relaxation condition, the UE sends a notification that the radio signal quality of the SCG satisfies the measurement relaxation condition to the network node, or reports measurement relaxation request information requesting relaxation of the SCG measurement; When the radio signal quality of the MCG measured by the UE satisfies the measurement relaxation condition, the UE sends a notification to the network node that the radio signal quality of the MCG satisfies the measurement relaxation condition, or reports measurement relaxation request information requesting relaxation of the MCG measurement and relaxation of the SCG; When the radio signal quality of the SCG measured by the UE satisfies the measurement relaxation condition, the UE sends a notification to the network node that the radio signal quality of the SCG satisfies the measurement relaxation condition, or reports measurement relaxation request information requesting relaxation of the SCG measurement and relaxation of the MCG; The method includes at least one of the following steps: when the radio signal quality of the MCG measured by the UE satisfies the measurement relaxation condition and the radio signal quality of the SCG satisfies the measurement relaxation condition, the UE notifies the network that the radio signal qualities of the MCG and SCG satisfy the measurement relaxation condition, or reports measurement relaxation request information that can request relaxation of the MCG measurement and / or the SCG measurement.

[0132] When it is measured that the radio signal quality of one CG group meets the measurement relaxation conditions, it requests relaxation of the radio signal measurement of the corresponding CG, so as to reduce the radio measurement of the UE as much as possible, while at the same time ensuring the stability of the communication quality of the two connections of the UE.

[0133] If it is measured that the radio signal quality of one of the CG groups satisfies the measurement relaxation conditions, simultaneous relaxation of the radio measurements of the MCG and SCG is requested, thereby reducing the radio measurements of the UE as much as possible and maximizing the reduction in power consumption due to the radio measurements of the UE.

[0134] Measurement relaxation is requested only when it is detected that the radio signal qualities of both the MCG and SCG meet the measurement relaxation conditions, thereby ensuring the communication quality of the UE's dual connection as much as possible while reducing the power consumption caused by UE measurements.

[0135] In one embodiment, the step of sending measurement relaxation request information to the network node or sending a notification of compliance with a measurement relaxation condition to the network node in response to detecting that the measurement relaxation condition is satisfied comprises: In response to detecting that the measurement relaxation condition is satisfied, the method includes the step of sending the measurement relaxation request information to the network node via an SRB of the network node, or sending a notification of compliance with the measurement relaxation condition to the network node.

[0136] The UE reports the measurement relaxation request information or notification to a corresponding network node via an SRB associated with the MN node and / or SN node.

[0137] Exemplarily, the measured relaxation parameters are: A first type of mitigation configuration that is a measurement mitigation configuration that is uniformly targeted at all cell groups, in which in some embodiments, the first type of mitigation configuration may be a mitigation configuration that is targeted at the entire UE and can be considered as a single UE-level configuration; A second type of relaxation setting which is a measurement relaxation setting targeted individually to the MCG and / or a measurement relaxation setting targeted individually to the SCG, i.e. in some embodiments, the second type of relaxation setting may be a setting targeted to the CG, i.e. a CG granularity setting.

[0138] The first type of mitigation configuration is a measurement mitigation configuration that targets MCG and SCG simultaneously, and therefore the UE relaxes radio measurements for MCG and SCG according to the same measurement mitigation configuration, or performs measurements for MCG; for example, in the case of a low mobility measurement configuration, the terminal only needs to measure the Pcell of the MCG.

[0139] The second type relaxation configuration is a measurement relaxation configuration that distinguishes CGs, and may include, for example, the measurement relaxation configuration of the MCG and / or the measurement relaxation configuration of the SCG when the measurement relaxation configuration included in the measurement relaxation parameters is the second type relaxation configuration. When the UE performs measurement relaxation, it relaxes the radio measurement of the MCG based on the measurement relaxation configuration of the MCG, and / or relaxes the radio measurement of the SCG based on the measurement relaxation configuration of the SCG. Here, the measurement is determined by measuring the cells in a specific CG one by one, or by combining all the cells.

[0140] When the relaxation measurement parameters use the second type relaxation measurement settings, they may be flexibly set according to the conditions of MCG and SCG.

[0141] In some embodiments, receiving the measured mitigation parameters transmitted from the network node comprises: receiving the first type mitigation configuration transmitted from the MN node; Or, receiving the second type mitigation configuration transmitted from the MN node and individually targeting the MCG, and / or the second type mitigation configuration transmitted from the SN node and individually targeting the SCG; Or, The method includes a step of receiving the second type mitigation measurement configuration transmitted from the MN node and targeting the MCG individually, and / or receiving the second type mitigation configuration transmitted from the MN node and targeting the SCG individually.

[0142] If the measurement mitigation parameters include a first type mitigation configuration and the UE has received the measurement mitigation configuration from the network node, then the UE has received the measurement mitigation parameters from the MN node, or at least has received a first type mitigation configuration from the MN node.

[0143] If the measurement mitigation parameters include the second type mitigation configuration, the UE may receive the second type mitigation configuration for the MCG from the MN node alone, and the second type mitigation configuration for the SCG by the SN node may be transmitted from the MN node to the UE in a unified manner.

[0144] In some embodiments, when the mitigation configuration is received from an MN node, all the measurement mitigation parameters may be received from the MN node in a unified manner, and when the mitigation configuration is received from an SN node, all the measurement mitigation parameters may be received from the SN node in a unified manner, thereby reducing the number of interactions between the UE and the MN node and reducing power consumption due to too many interactions, such as in an EN-DC scenario.

[0145] When the measurement relaxation parameters are transmitted via an MN node, the UE may receive the measurement relaxation parameters in an SRB (e.g., SRB1) configured in the MN node. When the measurement relaxation parameters are transmitted via an SN node, the UE may receive the measurement relaxation parameters in an SRB (e.g., SRB3) configured in the SN node.

[0146] In some embodiments, the measurement mitigation configuration can be divided into multiple parameter sets, and the above different transmission methods can be combined, for example, the first type of mitigation configuration parameters can be uniformly transmitted by the MN node to the UE, and the second type of mitigation configuration can be transmitted from the MN node and the SN node to the UE respectively.

[0147] As shown in FIG. 6, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method performed by a network node, where the network node includes an MN node or an SN node of a dual connectivity UE, and the method includes the following S610.

[0148] S610: Sending measurement relaxation related information to the UE; Here, the related information is Measurement mitigation parameters used for measurement mitigation of the UE; and a measurement mitigation indication for enabling or disabling measurement mitigation for the UE.

[0149] The network node exchanges measurement mitigation parameters related to the measurement mitigation with the dual connectivity UE.

[0150] The measurement mitigation parameters are used by the UE to mitigate measurements of radio signals transmitted from one or more network nodes to which it is connected.

[0151] Exemplarily, the measured relaxation parameter is Measurement relaxation criteria indicating the measurement relaxation conditions under which measurement relaxation is performed; and / or It may also include a measurement mitigation configuration used for radio signal measurement mitigation of the UE.

[0152] The measurement frequency at which wireless signal measurements are performed in accordance with the measurement relaxation setting is lower than the measurement frequency at which measurements are performed without following the measurement relaxation setting.

[0153] The measurement relaxation setting is A measurement stop parameter for instructing the UE to decide to stop measuring the radio signal, where the measurement stop parameter can be used, exemplarily, to determine at least a start time and an end time by the UE to stop measuring the radio signal; a measurement period determination parameter for determining a measurement period after the frequency of wireless signal measurement is reduced; An evaluation period determination parameter for determining an evaluation period after the evaluation is lowered after the measurement relaxation; a detection period determination parameter for determining a detection period after the detection period is shortened after the measurement relaxation; Any of the network nodes herein may be a base station, which may be an eNB and / or a gNB.

[0154] The network node performing the information processing method may be a MN node or an SN node of UE dual connectivity. Exemplarily, the UE uses Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access Network-New Radio E-UTRAN-NR dual connectivity, and the network node performing the information processing method includes an SN node of E-UTRAN-NR dual connectivity; Or, The UE uses Next Generation Radio Access Universal Terrestrial Radio Access - New Radio NG-RAN-UTRA-NR dual connectivity, and the network node that executes the information processing method includes an SN node of NG-RAN-UTRA-NR dual connectivity; Or, The UE uses a New Radio-Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (NR-E-UTRA) terrestrial radio access network (RTA) dual connectivity, and the network node that executes the information processing method includes a MN node of NR-E-UTRA dual connectivity; Or, The UE uses new radio-new radio NR-NR dual connectivity, and the network node that performs the information processing method includes an MN node of NR-NR dual connectivity and / or an SN node of NR-NR dual connectivity.

[0155] Through the exchange of the relevant information, the dual connectivity UE can realize relaxation of radio signal measurement, thereby reducing the power consumption caused by the measurement and extending the standby time of the UE.

[0156] As shown in FIG. 7, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method performed by a network node, where the network node includes an MN node or an SN node of a dual connectivity UE, and the method includes the following S710.

[0157] S710: Receive capability information of the UE, the capability information indicating a measurement mitigation capability of the UE.

[0158] The information processing method may be implemented in combination with the information processing method performed by the network node described above, or may be implemented independently from the information processing method performed by the network node described above.

[0159] Exemplarily, the capability information is used to determine the measurement mitigation parameters. The measurement mitigation parameters determined by the network node may be provided to the UE so as to perform measurement mitigation by the UE. Exemplarily, the capability information is used by the network node to determine the measurement mitigation parameters selected by the UE, and thus, the UE determines the measurement mitigation parameters to be used for the measurement mitigation that the UE enters under the situation where the UE does not report the measurement mitigation parameters selected by the UE based on the protocol commitment.

[0160] In some embodiments, the capability information comprises: Type 1 capability information that uniformly indicates the measurement mitigation capability of the UE for all CGs; Second type capability information individually indicating the measurement mitigation capability of the UE for a master MCG and / or the measurement mitigation capability of the UE for an SCG; and a third type of capability information indicating an association relationship between the measurement mitigation capability of the UE for an MCG and the measurement mitigation capability of the UE for an SCG.

[0161] One of the cell groups may include at least one cell.

[0162] The first type of capability information uniformly indicates the UE's measurement relaxation capability for MCG and SCG, and in this case, if the first type of capability information indicates that the UE supports measurement relaxation, it indicates that the UE supports measurement relaxation in both MCG and SCG, and if the first type of capability information indicates that the UE does not support measurement relaxation, it indicates that the UE does not support measurement relaxation in both MCG and SCG.

[0163] The first type of capability information may be indicated by one bit, and has the characteristic of small bit overhead.

[0164] The second type capability information is for distinguishing CGs and individually indicating whether the UE supports mitigation, for example, the second type capability information includes an indicator indicating whether the UE supports MCG measurement mitigation and / or an indicator indicating whether the UE supports SCG measurement mitigation. For example, the second type capability indication information may also set two bits for each type of measurement, one bit indicating whether the UE's measurement in MCG supports mitigation, and another bit indicating whether the UE's measurement in SCG supports mitigation.

[0165] The third type capability information is a related indication, for example, if the UE indicates RLM measurement relaxation in the MCG, it must support RLM measurement relaxation in the SCG, and therefore can be indicated by the third type capability information. Also, if the UE supports BDF measurement relaxation in the SCG, it can be considered that it necessarily supports BDF measurement relaxation in the MCG.

[0166] In some embodiments, the capability information comprises: a first capability indicator indicating whether the UE supports RLM measurement mitigation; a second capability indicator indicating whether the UE supports BFD measurement mitigation; a third capability indicator indicating whether the UE supports RRM measurement mitigation.

[0167] The first capability indicator may be configured with one or more bits, different bit values ​​of which represent two capability states: the UE supports RLM measurement relaxation and the UE does not support RLM measurement relaxation.

[0168] The second capability indicator may be configured with one or more bits, different bit values ​​of which represent two capability states: the UE supports BFD measurement mitigation and the UE does not support BFD measurement mitigation.

[0169] The third capability indicator may be configured with one or more bits, with different bit values ​​of these bits representing two capability states: the UE supports RRM measurement mitigation and the UE does not support RRM measurement mitigation.

[0170] In some embodiments, the capability information may include one field, and different bits of the field may each correspond to one or more of the first capability indicator, the second capability indicator, and the third capability indicator, respectively.

[0171] In some embodiments, when there is a relationship between the measurement mitigation capabilities supported by the UE, the UE can unifiedly indicate that it supports two or three of RLM, BFD and RRM measurement mitigation. For example, assuming that the UE supports RRM measurement mitigation, it indicates that the UE supports RLM measurement mitigation, and then one indicator can synchronously indicate whether the UE supports the mitigation of these two measurements, thereby reducing bit overhead.

[0172] In some embodiments, the step S710 includes: in response to the network node being the MN node, the MN node receiving the capability information of the UE in an SRB established in the MN node; Or, in response to the network node being the SN node and an SRB being established in the SN node, the SN node receiving the capability information of the UE in an SRB established in the SN node; Or, In response to the network node being the MN node and no SRB configured in the SN node, the MN node may receive an SRB including the capability information received from the UE in an SRB configured in the SN node, wherein at least a portion of the capability information indicating measurement mitigation capability of the UE with respect to an SCG is transmitted from the MN node to the SN node.

[0173] Usually, the MN node of the UE is configured with an SRB for signaling transmission with the UE, and the SN node may not be configured with an SRB for signaling transmission with the UE. In this case, the UE's capability information for MCG and SCG measurement relaxation can be transmitted to the MN node through the SRB configured by the MN node, and if the UE transmits capability information for SCG measurement relaxation, the MN node receives it and then forwards or transparently transmits it to the SN node.

[0174] In some embodiments, the step of transmitting measurement mitigation related information to the UE comprises: in response to the network node being the MN node, transmitting measurement mitigation parameters covering all CGs to the UE; in response to the network node being the MN node, transmitting measurement mitigation parameters intended for an MCG to the UE; in response to the network node being the SN node and an SRB being configured in the SN node, sending measurement mitigation parameters targeted to an SCG to the UE; in response to the network node being the MN node and no SRB being configured in the SN node, transmitting measurement mitigation parameters targeted to the SCG to the UE.

[0175] Here, the measured relaxation parameters for all SGs, i.e., the measured relaxation parameters covering MCGs and SCGs simultaneously.

[0176] Usually, the MN node of the UE is configured with an SRB for signaling transmission between the UE and the UE, and the SN node may not be configured with an SRB for signaling transmission between the UE and the UE. Therefore, in some embodiments, the measurement relaxation parameters may be transmitted to the UE via the SRB configured in the MN node itself, whether the measurement relaxation parameters are for all CGs or for MCG or SCG individually. If the SN node is also configured with an SRB, the measurement relaxation parameters may be transmitted to the UE via the SRB configured in the SN node itself.

[0177] In short, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the aforementioned related information and capability information can be transmitted in an RRC message or User Assistance Information (UAI) corresponding to the SRB.

[0178] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: The method may further include a step of the MN node receiving auxiliary information for transmitting measurement mitigation parameters targeted to an SCG from the SN node before transmitting the measurement mitigation parameters targeted to an SCG to the UE.

[0179] The auxiliary information may be used for measurement mitigation parameters for the MN node SCG and / or the timing of transmitting measurement mitigation parameters for the SCG.

[0180] For example, the auxiliary information may be measurement relaxation parameters for the SCG directly provided by the SN node, or the MN node may transmit the measurement relaxation parameters for the SCG received from the SN node to the UE, or may transmit the measurement relaxation parameters for the SCG after appropriately adjusting them to the measurement relaxation parameters for the MCG configured in the MN node.

[0181] The aiding information may also enable the SN node to select one or more sets of measurement mitigation parameters for SCGs and to enable the MN node to select the measurement mitigation parameters for SCGs to send to the UE.

[0182] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: The method further includes receiving measurement relaxation request information reported by the UE when the UE detects that a measurement relaxation condition is met, or a notification indicating that a measurement relaxation condition is met.

[0183] The step of sending measurement relaxation related information to the UE includes: The method includes sending the measurement relaxation instruction to the UE based on the measurement relaxation request information or the notification.

[0184] The network node may also receive measurement relaxation request information sent by the UE when the UE detects that the current situation meets the measurement relaxation condition, at this time, the network node can decide whether to allow the UE to perform measurement relaxation according to the situation such as the needs of communication between the network side and the UE and / or the network environment, etc. If the network node allows the UE to perform measurement relaxation, it sends an instruction to the UE to allow the UE or enable the UE's measurement relaxation instruction, otherwise, it sends an instruction to prohibit the UE or an instruction to disable the UE's measurement relaxation.

[0185] Exemplarily, the measurement relaxation instruction includes: an enablement instruction for enabling measurement mitigation by the UE; a disable instruction to disable measurement mitigation by the UE.

[0186] The measurement relaxation indication may include one bit, and two bit values ​​of the bit may correspond to an enable indication or a disable indication, respectively.

[0187] In some other embodiments, the measurement relaxation instruction may include only an enable instruction, and if the network node prohibits or disables measurement relaxation for the UE, the network node may not return the enable instruction to the UE, and thus the UE considers that the network node has rejected measurement relaxation by the UE if it does not receive the enable instruction even after a pre-configured length of time for transmitting the measurement relaxation request information.

[0188] In some other embodiments, the measurement relaxation instruction may include only a disable instruction, and if the network node allows the UE to relax the measurement, the network node does not send the disable instruction to the UE within the preset time length of receiving the measurement relaxation request information, otherwise, it may send the disable instruction within the preset time length. In this way, when the UE receives the disable instruction within the preset time length, it will know that the network node does not allow the measurement relaxation, and if the UE does not receive the disable instruction within the preset time length, the UE will consider that the network node allows the measurement relaxation and relax the measurement of the radio signal after the end of the preset time length or when it detects again that the measurement relaxation condition is met.

[0189] In some embodiments, the measured relaxation parameter is: RLM measured relaxation parameters, BFD measurement mitigation parameters, RRM measurement mitigation parameters.

[0190] For details of the RLM measurement mitigation parameters, BFD measurement mitigation parameters, and RRM measurement mitigation parameters, please refer to any of the above-mentioned embodiments, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted here.

[0191] In some embodiments, the measured relaxation parameter is: a measurement relaxation criterion indicating a measurement relaxation condition of the UE; A mitigation configuration used for measurement mitigation of the UE.

[0192] When the measured relaxation parameters are RLM measured relaxation parameters, the RLM measured relaxation parameters are an RLM measurement relaxation criterion indicating a measurement relaxation condition under which the UE relaxes the RLM measurement; and an RLM mitigation configuration used by the UE to mitigate RLM measurements.

[0193] When the measurement mitigation parameter is an RRM measurement mitigation parameter, the RRM measurement mitigation parameter is An RRM measurement relaxation criterion indicating a measurement relaxation condition under which the UE relaxes the RRM measurement; and an RRM mitigation configuration used by the UE to mitigate RRM measurements.

[0194] When the measurement mitigation parameters are BFD measurement mitigation parameters, the BFD measurement mitigation parameters are a BFD measurement relaxation criterion indicating a measurement relaxation condition under which the UE relaxes BFD measurements; and a BFD mitigation configuration used by the UE to mitigate BFD measurements.

[0195] In some embodiments, the measurement relaxation condition is: A first condition is that a displacement amount of the UE within a preset time length is lower than a first threshold value, and / or a fluctuation value of a radio signal quality measured by the UE within a second time length is lower than a third threshold value; Or, A second condition includes that the radio signal quality measured by the UE within a second period of time is greater than a second threshold.

[0196] The first to third thresholds used in the first and second conditions may be the same or different for different measurements. For example, the thresholds used for the first and / or second conditions of the RRM measurement may be different from the thresholds used for the first and / or second conditions of the RLM measurement.

[0197] It should be noted that in some cases, the relevant settings of the measurement relaxation conditions may be included in the measurement relaxation parameters, and in some other cases, the relevant settings of the measurement relaxation conditions may not be included in the measurement relaxation parameters. Exemplarily, the measurement relaxation conditions may be agreed upon by a protocol, and the measurement relaxation settings may be dynamically transmitted to the UE via a network node, and the network node may provide the measurement relaxation settings for the location where the UE is currently located, for the current radio environment and / or base station settings, etc., based on the signature data of the UE.

[0198] Exemplarily, satisfying the second condition is The radio signal quality measured by the UE during the second time period is higher than an MCG signal quality threshold, and / or the radio signal quality measured by the UE during the second time period is higher than an MCG fluctuation threshold; The radio signal quality measured by the UE within the second time length of time is greater than an SCG signal quality threshold, and / or the radio signal quality measured by the UE within the second time length of time is greater than an SCG fluctuation threshold; The radio signal quality measured by the UE within the second time period is higher than a shared signal quality threshold, and / or the radio signal quality measured by the UE within the second time period is higher than a shared variation threshold.

[0199] As shown in FIG. 8, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method performed by an SN node, and the method includes the following S810.

[0200] S810: Transmitting information related to measurement mitigation by the UE between the MN node and the UE; Here, the related information is Capability information of the UE for determining measurement mitigation parameters; a measurement mitigation instruction for enabling or disabling measurement mitigation for the UE; Measured relaxation parameters for SCG, and auxiliary information used by the MN node to determine measurement mitigation parameters of the UE for an SCG.

[0201] The information processing method is applied to an SN node of a dual connectivity UE.

[0202] The SN node may be various types of dual connectivity SN nodes, for example, an MR-DC SN node, an EN-DC SN node, an NGEN-DC dual connectivity, an NE-DC SN node or an NR-DC SN node.

[0203] The SN node has configured an SRB for the dual connectivity UE or has not configured an SRB. If the SN node has not configured an SRB for the dual connectivity UE, the capability information exchanged between the SN node and the UE, the measurement relaxation parameters and / or the measurement relaxation instructions for the SCG are all forwarded or transparently transmitted by the MN node.

[0204] When an SN node configures an SRB for a dual connectivity UE, the SN node may exchange all or part of the capability information, measurement relaxation parameters for SCG and / or measurement relaxation indication with the UE, however, some or all of the capability information, measurement relaxation parameters for SCG and / or measurement relaxation indication may be forwarded or transparently transmitted by the MN node instead of the SN node.

[0205] The MN and SN nodes connected to the dual connectivity UE perform one or more pieces of information related to measurement mitigation by the UE, and such information is referred to as related information.

[0206] The capability information is information that the UE reports to the MN node and transmits from the MN node to the SN node, and indicates whether the UE supports measurement relaxation.

[0207] The capability information received by the SN node may be at least the measurement mitigation capability of the UE for the SCG.

[0208] Exemplarily, the capability information indicates mitigation measurements supported by the UE and / or indicates the degree of mitigation of radio signal measurements supported by the UE, and thus, based on the capability information, the network node can determine whether the UE supports radio signal measurement mitigation and / or the degree of mitigation in radio signal measurement mitigation supported by the UE.

[0209] In some embodiments, the reporting of the UE's capability information may be used in combination with the method shown in FIG. 2 or may be used separately. Exemplarily, the capability information may include: a first capability indicator indicating whether the UE supports RLM measurement mitigation; a second capability indicator indicating whether the UE supports BFD measurement mitigation; a third capability indicator indicating whether the UE supports RRM measurement mitigation.

[0210] The first capability indicator may be configured with one or more bits, different bit values ​​of which represent two capability states: the UE supports RLM measurement relaxation and the UE does not support RLM measurement relaxation.

[0211] The second capability indicator may be configured with one or more bits, different bit values ​​of which represent two capability states: the UE supports BFD measurement mitigation and the UE does not support BFD measurement mitigation.

[0212] The third capability indicator may be configured with one or more bits, with different bit values ​​of these bits representing two capability states: the UE supports RRM measurement mitigation and the UE does not support RRM measurement mitigation.

[0213] In some embodiments, the capability information may include one field, and different bits of the field may each correspond to one or more of the first capability indicator, the second capability indicator, and the third capability indicator, respectively.

[0214] In some embodiments, when there is a relationship between the measurement mitigation capabilities supported by the UE, the UE can unifiedly indicate that it supports two or three of RLM, BFD and RRM measurement mitigation. For example, assuming that the UE supports RRM measurement mitigation, it indicates that the UE supports RLM measurement mitigation, and then one indicator can synchronously indicate whether the UE supports the mitigation of these two measurements, thereby reducing bit overhead.

[0215] In some embodiments, the capability information comprises: Type 1 capability information that unifies the measurement mitigation capability of the UE for all cell groups (CGs); A second type of capability information individually indicating the measurement mitigation capability of the UE for a primary cell group (Master Cell Group, MCG) and / or the measurement mitigation capability of the UE for a secondary cell group (Second Cell Group, SCG); and a third type of capability information indicating an association relationship between the measurement mitigation capability of the UE for an MCG and the measurement mitigation capability of the UE for an SCG.

[0216] For a dual connectivity UE, the radio measurements by the UE may include measurements on a primary cell and measurements on a secondary cell.

[0217] One of the cell groups may include at least one cell.

[0218] The first type of capability information uniformly indicates the UE's measurement relaxation capability for MCG and SCG, and in this case, if the first type of capability information indicates that the UE supports measurement relaxation, it indicates that the UE supports measurement relaxation in both MCG and SCG, and if the first type of capability information indicates that the UE does not support measurement relaxation, it indicates that the UE does not support measurement relaxation in both MCG and SCG.

[0219] The first type of capability information may be indicated by one bit, and has the characteristic of small bit overhead.

[0220] The second type capability information is for distinguishing CGs and individually indicating whether the UE supports mitigation, for example, the second type capability information includes an indicator indicating whether the UE supports MCG measurement mitigation and / or an indicator indicating whether the UE supports SCG measurement mitigation. For example, the second type capability indication information may also set two bits for each type of measurement, one bit indicating whether the UE's measurement in MCG supports mitigation, and another bit indicating whether the UE's measurement in SCG supports mitigation.

[0221] The third type capability information is a related indication, for example, if the UE indicates RLM measurement relaxation in the MCG, it must support RLM measurement relaxation in the SCG, and therefore can be indicated by the third type capability information. Also, if the UE supports BDF measurement relaxation in the SCG, it can be considered that it necessarily supports BDF measurement relaxation in the MCG.

[0222] The measurement relaxation indication sent by the SN node may include at least a UE measurement relaxation indication for SCG, which may include an enable indication for enabling UE measurement relaxation for SCG and / or a disable indication for disabling UE measurement relaxation for SCG.

[0223] The measured relaxation parameters for the SCG are: a measurement relaxation criterion indicating the measurement relaxation conditions under which measurement relaxation is performed for the SCG; and / or It may also include a measurement mitigation configuration used for UE's radio signal measurement mitigation for the SCG.

[0224] The measurement frequency at which SCG radio signal measurements are performed in accordance with the measurement relaxation settings for the SCG is lower than the measurement frequency at which measurements are performed without complying with the measurement relaxation settings.

[0225] The measurement relaxation setting for the SCG is: A measurement stop parameter for indicating that the UE decides to stop measuring the radio signal of the SCG, where the measurement stop parameter can be used, exemplarily, to determine at least a start time and an end time for the UE to stop measuring the radio signal; a measurement period determination parameter for determining a measurement period after the SCG radio signal measurement frequency is reduced; An evaluation period determination parameter for determining an evaluation period after the evaluation is lowered after the SCG measurement relaxation; a detection period determination parameter for determining a detection period after which the detection period is shortened after the SCG measurement relaxation.

[0226] The measured relaxation parameters are RLM measured relaxation parameters, BFD measurement mitigation parameters, RRM measurement mitigation parameters.

[0227] In some embodiments, the measurement relaxation parameters of the SCG may not be determined by the SN node alone, but require negotiation between the SN node and the MN node. At this time, the SN node may send auxiliary information to the MN node, which may include one or more sets of recommended configurations of measurement relaxation parameters for the SCG provided by the SN node, and the MN node can finally determine the measurement relaxation parameters for the UESCG based on the auxiliary information provided by the SN node after receiving.

[0228] In some other embodiments, the auxiliary information may include request information provided by the SN node for the UE to relax radio signal measurements of the SCG, and after the MN node receives the request information, it specifies measurement relaxation parameters of the SCG that match the request information.

[0229] Of course, the above are merely examples of auxiliary information, and the specific implementation is not limited to the above examples.

[0230] In some embodiments, the step of transmitting information related to measurement mitigation by the UE to and from the MN node comprises: The method includes transmitting information related to measurement relaxation by the UE between the MN node and the UE in response to the SRB not being configured in the SN node.

[0231] If the SN node has configured an SRB for the dual connectivity UE, the SN node may transmit the required information directly to and from the UE, thereby reducing the transmission load of the MN node. If the SN node has not configured an SRB for the dual connectivity UE, the MN node may forward and / or transparently transmit instead.

[0232] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a negotiation mechanism for measurement relaxation in a dual connectivity scenario, specifically: Providing an information exchange method between a network node and a UE, the network node being a MN node and / or a SN node; When the UE is a 5G terminal, the network node is a gNB, and for an EN-DC UE, the network node may be an SN node; For a UE in a NE-DC, the network node may be a MN node; For an NR-DC UE, the network node may be an MN node and / or an SN node.

[0233] The information exchanged between the dually connected UE and the network node may be used for RLM measurement mitigation, BFD measurement mitigation and / or RRM measurement mitigation.

[0234] The UE reports its own capability information to the MN node and / or the SN node, which may at least indicate whether the UE supports measurement relaxation.

[0235] Exemplarily, for RLM measurement mitigation, the capability information reported by the UE may be as follows:

[0236] In one case, there is no CG distinction and the UE reports one indication of whether it supports RLM measurement relaxation or not, which corresponds to the UE supporting RLM measurement relaxation for MCG and SCG simultaneously or not supporting RLM measurement relaxation for MCG and SCG simultaneously. In the other case, the CG is distinguished and the UE reports two mutually independent indications of supporting RLM measurement relaxation for MCG and / or RLM measurement relaxation for SCG.

[0237] In another situation, the UE reports one related indication of supporting RLM measurement relaxation for MCG and / or RLM measurement relaxation for SCG, the related indication notifying the network node UE's RLM measurement relaxation capability for MCG and measurement relaxation capability for SCG in one go. For example, the UE indicates through the related indication that it supports RLM measurement relaxation for SCG and does not support RLM measurement relaxation for MCG, indicates that it supports RLM measurement relaxation for MCG and does not support RLM measurement relaxation for SCG, indicates that it supports RLM measurement relaxation for SCG and supports RLM measurement relaxation for MCG, or indicates that it does not support RLM measurement relaxation for SCG and does not support RLM measurement relaxation for MCG.

[0238] Exemplarily, for BFD measurement mitigation, the capability information reported by the UE may be as follows:

[0239] In one situation, the UE does not distinguish between CGs, and reports one related indication that supports BFD measurement relaxation in MCG or BFD measurement relaxation in SCG. In this situation, the UE supports BFD measurement relaxation in MCG and SCG simultaneously, or does not support BFD measurement relaxation in MCG and SCG. In another situation, the CGs are distinguished, and the UE supports BFD measurement relaxation in MCG and / or BFD measurement relaxation in SCG, and the network node may receive an indication from the UE that the MCG and SCG support BFD measurement relaxation, respectively.

[0240] In another situation, the UE reports a related indication supporting BFD measurement relaxation of the MCG and / or BFD measurement relaxation of the SCG. For example, the UE indicates through the related indication that it supports BFD measurement relaxation of the SCG and does not support BFD measurement relaxation of the MCG, indicates that it supports BFD measurement relaxation of the MCG and does not support BFD measurement relaxation of the SCG, indicates that it supports BFD measurement relaxation of the SCG and supports BFD measurement relaxation of the MCG, or indicates that it does not support BFD measurement relaxation of the SCG and does not support BFD measurement relaxation of the MCG.

[0241] Exemplarily, for RRM measurement mitigation, the capability information reported by the UE may be as follows:

[0242] In one situation, the CGs are distinguished and the UE reports a unified indication of whether it supports RRM measurement relaxation, in which the UE supports RRM measurement relaxation for MCG and SCG simultaneously, or does not support RRM measurement relaxation for MCG and SCG simultaneously.

[0243] In another situation, the CGs are differentiated and the UE reports two independent indications of support for RRM measurement relaxation in the MCG and / or RRM measurement relaxation in the SCG, i.e. whether the UE supports RRM measurement relaxation for the SCG of the MCG is reported separately.

[0244] In some other situations, the UE reports a related indication supporting MCG RRM measurement relaxation and / or SCG RRM measurement relaxation, in which the UE indicates through the related indication that it supports SCG RRM measurement relaxation and does not support MCG RRM measurement relaxation, indicates that it supports MCG RRM measurement relaxation and does not support SCG RRM measurement relaxation, indicates that it supports SCG RRM measurement relaxation and supports MCG RRM measurement relaxation, or indicates that it does not support SCG RRM measurement relaxation and does not support MCG RRM measurement relaxation.

[0245] Specifically, the capability information reported by the UE may be as follows: For UE capabilities that do not distinguish CG, they are reported to the MN node or SN node, respectively. For an EN-DC UE, the UE reports capability information to the SN node or MN node. For a UE in NE-DC, the UE reports capability information to the MN node. For NR-DC UEs, the UE reports capability information to the MN node. For UE capability of distinguishing CG, for measurement mitigation capability of MCG, the UE reports capability information for MCG to the MN node. For the measurement mitigation capability of SCG, the UE reports the capability information for SCG to the enabled MN node or SN node. If the capability information of SCG is sent to the MN node, the MN node forwards or transparently transmits it to the SN node.

[0246] Exemplarily, for a UE in an EN-DC, the measurement mitigation capability information of the SCG is reported to an SN node, and for a UE in an NE-DC, the measurement mitigation capability information of the MCG is reported to an MN node.

[0247] For NR-DC UE, the measurement mitigation capability of the MCG is reported to the MN node and / or the measurement mitigation capability information of the SCG is reported to the SN node.

[0248] When reporting capability information to an MN node, an SRB1 report may be used.

[0249] If capability information is reported to the SN node and SRB3 is configured in the SN node, SRB3 reporting is used. If SRB3 is not configured in the SN node, it is sent to the MN node via SRB1, and then forwarded to the SN node via the MN node.

[0250] The MN node and / or the SN node may transmit RLM measurement mitigation, BFD measurement mitigation and / or RRM measurement measurement mitigation parameters to the UE.

[0251] The RLM measured relaxation parameters are RLM Measurement Relaxation Standard Setting, RLM measurement mitigation enable / disable indication.

[0252] In some embodiments, the RLM measurement mitigation enable / disable indication may be implicitly indicated by whether the network node sends the RLM measurement mitigation parameters and other contents, for example, if the network node sends the RLM measurement mitigation parameters and other contents (which may include the RLM measurement mitigation criteria and / or the RLM measurement mitigation configuration), it indicates that the network node allows RLM measurement mitigation by the UE, and otherwise, it determines that the network node does not allow RLM measurement mitigation by the UE.

[0253] The BFD measurement mitigation parameters are BFD measurement relaxation criteria, and a BFD measurement mitigation enable / disable indication. In some embodiments, the BFD measurement mitigation enable / disable indication may be implicitly indicated by whether the network node sends BFD measurement mitigation parameters and other contents. For example, if the network node sends BFD measurement mitigation parameters and other contents (which may include BFD measurement mitigation criteria and / or BFD measurement mitigation configuration), it indicates that the network node allows BFD measurement mitigation by the UE, and otherwise, it indicates that the network node does not allow BFD measurement mitigation by the UE.

[0254] The RRM measurement mitigation parameters are RRM measurement relaxation criteria, and an RRM measurement mitigation enable / disable indication. In some embodiments, the RRM measurement mitigation enable / disable indication may be implicitly indicated by whether the network node transmits RRM measurement mitigation parameters and other contents. For example, if the network node transmits RRM measurement mitigation parameters and other contents (which may include RRM measurement mitigation criteria and / or RRM measurement mitigation configuration), it indicates that the network node allows RRM measurement mitigation by the UE, and otherwise it determines that the network node does not allow RRM measurement mitigation by the UE.

[0255] In one embodiment, the measured relaxation parameters can be divided into: MCG and SCG shared parameters: ie, no distinction is made between CGs, ie, UE granularity configuration. One embodiment is a mobility criterion in RLM measurement relaxation / BFD measurement relaxation / RRM measurement relaxation parameters. The mobility criterion may be at least the measurement relaxation condition of the first condition described above. MCG measurement relaxation parameters: Only MCG measurement relaxation parameters can be set for NE-DC scenes. In one embodiment, the signal quality goodness criteria are in the measurement relaxation parameters of RLM measurement relaxation / BFD measurement relaxation / RRM measurement. The signal quality goodness criteria may be all or part of the measurement relaxation conditions indicating the above-mentioned second condition. SCG measurement mitigation parameters: For EN-DC scenes, only SCG measurement mitigation parameters can be configured. In one embodiment, these are RLM measurement mitigation, BFD measurement mitigation, and mobility criteria in RRM measurement mitigation parameters.

[0256] The transmission of the measurement mitigation parameters may be as follows. The shared measurement mitigation parameter transmission parameters of the MCG and SCG are transmitted by the MN node to the UE. For example, the MN node transmits the shared measurement mitigation parameters to the UE via an SRB1 configured therein. Here, the shared measurement mitigation parameters may be measurement mitigation parameters for the MCG and SCG at the same time. The shared measurement mitigation parameters may be transmitted by the SN node to the UE. For example, the SN node transmits the shared measurement mitigation parameters to the UE via an SRB3 configured therein.

[0257] The transmission of MCG measurement relaxation parameters and / or SCG measurement relaxation is performed in the following manner.

[0258] Method 1: The MN node and the SN node are responsible for the MCG measurement relaxation parameters and / or the SCG measurement relaxation parameters of their own nodes, respectively.

[0259] The MCG measurement mitigation parameters are sent by the MN node to the UE, for example, the MN node sends the MCG measurement mitigation parameters for the MCG measurement mitigation to the UE via SRB1.

[0260] The SCG measurement mitigation parameters are sent by the SN node to the UE, for example, the SN node sends the SCG measurement mitigation parameters for the SCG measurement mitigation to the UE via SRB3. In this case, the SRB3 is configured in the SN node. If the SRB3 is not configured in the SN node, the SN node first conveys the SCG measurement mitigation parameters to the MN node, and then sends them to the UE via the MN node via SRB1.

[0261] After the MN node obtains the SCG measurement relaxation parameters, it may transmit them to the UE transparently, or it may analyze and modify the SCG measurement relaxation parameters by itself before sending them to the UE.

[0262] The MN node notifies the SN node of auxiliary information so that the SN node can transmit SCG measurement mitigation parameters.

[0263] Method 2: The MN node is responsible for transmitting the measured mitigation parameters of the MN node and / or the SN node.

[0264] The MCG measurement mitigation parameters are transmitted by the MN node to the UE, for example, the MN node may transmit the MCG measurement mitigation parameters to the UE using SRB1.

[0265] The MN node may obtain auxiliary information provided by the SN node. The SN node provides the auxiliary information to the MN node. After the MN obtains the auxiliary information of the SN node through grounding, it can transmit the SCG measurement relaxation parameters transparent to the UE after determination, or it can modify the measurement relaxation parameters of the SN node by itself and send them to the UE, and then carry the MCG measurement relaxation parameters to notify the UE together.

[0266] The measurement relaxation parameters are transmitted in the following manner.

[0267] For a UE in EN-DC, the SN node or MN node transmits measurement mitigation parameters.

[0268] For the UE in the NE-DC, the MN node transmits the measurement mitigation parameters.

[0269] For NR-DC UEs, the MN node transmits measurement mitigation parameters.

[0270] The measurement mitigation parameters are transmitted by the MN node to the UE. The MN node may transmit the measurement mitigation parameters to the UE using SRB1.

[0271] If SRB3 is configured in the SN node, the transmission of the measurement mitigation parameters is sent by the SN node to the UE, and the SN node can use SRB3 to send the measurement mitigation parameters to the UE.

[0272] If SRB3 is not configured in the SN node, the measurement mitigation parameters are first transmitted to the MN node, and then transmitted to the UE via SRB1 via the MN.

[0273] The UE is transmitted to the MN node and / or the SN node when it meets or leaves the relaxed conditions.

[0274] For an EN-DC UE, the UE reports measurement relaxation request information or a notification indicating that the measurement relaxation conditions are met to the SN node or MN node, and the measurement relaxation request information may be reported when the UE detects that the measurement relaxation conditions are met.

[0275] The NE-DC UE reports to the MN node a notification indicating that the measurement relaxation conditions are met.

[0276] For an NR-DC UE, the UE reports measurement relaxation request information or a notification indicating that the measurement relaxation conditions are met based on the MCG or SCG relaxation criteria to the corresponding network element (i.e., network node).

[0277] For reporting the measurement relaxation request information or a notification indicating that the measurement relaxation condition is met to the MN node, the UE may use SRB1 to transmit the measurement relaxation request information to the MN node.

[0278] When an SRB3 is configured in the SN node, the UE can use the SRB3 to send measurement relaxation request information to the SN node to report measurement relaxation request information or a notification indicating that the measurement relaxation conditions are met to the SN node.

[0279] If SRB3 is not configured in the SN node, in reporting the measurement relaxation request information or a notification indicating that the measurement relaxation conditions are met to the MN node, the UE may use SRB1 to send the measurement relaxation request information or a notification indicating that the measurement relaxation conditions are met to the MN node and forward it to the SN node via the MN node.

[0280] When the UE meets or leaves the mitigation condition, it reports the measurement or reports the measurement mitigation request information in the manner of UAI signaling.

[0281] Satisfying the RRM measurement relaxation conditions indicates that the UE satisfies the resting conditions, and leaving the relaxation conditions indicates that the UE's resting conditions no longer satisfy the measurement relaxation conditions.

[0282] Satisfying the RLM / BFD measurement relaxation conditions indicates that the UE is stationary and / or the signal quality is good enough, and leaving the relaxation conditions indicates that the UE is stationary and / or the signal quality is good enough that the measurement relaxation conditions are no longer satisfied.
