It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, only the base station in the NR system is taken as an example for description, and the specific types of the base station are not limited.

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to clearly understand the embodiments of this application, first, the following explanations are provided.

[0026] 1. Conditional Handover (CHO). Conditional handover is defined as a handover that is executed when one or more handover execution conditions are met. Once the UE receives the CHO configuration, it starts to evaluate the execution conditions and stops the evaluation once the handover starts to execute.

[0027] Principles of CHO: The CHO configuration includes the configuration of the CHO candidate cells generated by the candidate gNB and the execution conditions generated by the source gNB.

[0028] One execution condition may include one or two trigger conditions (CHO event A3 / A5). One candidate cell supports only a single type of reference signal (RS), and a maximum of two different trigger quantities (for example, reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), signal-to-noise and interference ratio (SINR), etc.) can be set simultaneously.

[0029] Once a handover (HO) command is received before any CHO execution condition is satisfied, the UE executes the HO procedure regardless of the previously received CHO configuration.

[0030] When executing CHO, that is, from the time when the UE starts to synchronize with the target cell, the UE stops detecting the source cell.

[0031] 2. Dual Connectivity (DC). Dual Connectivity means that the network provides the UE with the resources of two network nodes / base stations (access network elements). One of the network nodes is called the Master Node (MN), and the other is called the Secondary Node (SN). For each network node, one cell can provide services to the UE, and Carrier Aggregation (CA) technology may be used, that is, multiple serving cells controlled by the node may be configured for the UE. One or more cells controlled by one node constitute a Cell Group (CG). The cells controlled by the Master Node MN form the Master Cell Group (MCG), and the cells controlled by the Secondary Node SN form the Secondary Cell Group (SCG). Any cell group includes one Special Cell (SpCell) and M Secondary Cells (Scell). In NR, currently, the value of M is in the range of [0, 31], but it may be extended in the future. In the MCG, the special cell is called the Primary Cell (PCell), and in the SCG, the special cell is called the Primary Secondary Cell (PSCell).

[0032] In NR, if the SCG configuration including the ReconfigurationWithSync IE provided by the NW is applied to the UE and the UE successfully completes the RACH at the candidate / target PSCell, the PSCell change of the UE is successful.

[0033] 3. Conditional Primary Secondary Cell Change (CPC) process. The network (NetWork, NW) pre-configures the CPC setting for the dual-connected UE, and the UE evaluates whether the execution conditions are met. Once the execution conditions are satisfied, the UE applies the pre-configured target Secondary Cell Group (SCG) setting and performs a PSCell change.

[0034] 4. Conditional Primary Secondary Cell Addition (CPA). The setting method and execution process of CPA are similar to those of CPC. However, when performing CPA evaluation, as the trigger condition for applying the SCG re-configuration parameters, generally, it is different in that the time when the signal quality of the candidate / target PSCell is greater than a predetermined threshold reaches a predetermined time. At this time, since the UE still does not have a serving PSCell, the signal quality of the candidate / target PSCell cannot be compared with the signal quality of the serving PSCell.

[0035] The current Cell Handover (CHO) and Conditional Primary Secondary Cell Addition / Change (CPAC) are executed separately, that is, the CHO message does not include the setting information of CPAC. Therefore, the current serving cell will never become a candidate PSCell. However, in R18, since the case where CHO includes the target MCG and candidate SCG for CPC / CPA is the research object, in such a scenario, the CHO setting information may include the CPA setting information. The UE that was originally single-connected or dual-connected can directly switch to the DC mode when the CHO conditions and the corresponding CPA conditions are met.

[0036] In R18, before the UE executes CHO with CPAC (CPAC setting information is included in the CHO message), the serving cell (PCell / PSCell / SCells) may become the candidate PSCell of the candidate PCell. In the current protocol, CPAC only uses events A4 (the quality of the adjacent cell is above the threshold) and B1 (the Inter-RAT adjacent cell is above the threshold), or events A3 (the quality of the candidate adjacent cell for conditional reconfiguration is above the primary (SpCell) cell PCell / PSCell) and A5 (the quality of the primary (SpCell) cell is below threshold 1, and the quality of the candidate adjacent cell for conditional reconfiguration is above threshold 2) as execution conditions, and only focuses on the scenario where the adjacent cell becomes the candidate PSCell. However, in the scenario where the serving cell (PSCell / PCell / SCell) also becomes a CPAC candidate cell, the UE cannot use this execution condition, so the setting information for this part is completely wasted.

[0037] Similarly, for the candidate PCell, in the current protocol, only events A3 (the quality of the candidate adjacent cell for conditional reconfiguration is above the primary (SpCell) cell PCell / PSCell) and A5 (the quality of the primary (SpCell) cell is below threshold 1, and the quality of the candidate adjacent cell for conditional reconfiguration is above threshold 2) are used as execution conditions, and only focuses on the scenario where the adjacent cell becomes the candidate PCell, and similarly does not consider the scenario where the serving cell (PCell / PSCell / SCells) becomes the candidate PCell.

[0038] In the following, with reference to the drawings, the processing method of the condition setting information provided in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail by several embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0039] As shown in Figure 2, the embodiments of the present application provide a processing method for condition setting information including the following steps 201 and 202.

[0040] In step 201, the terminal obtains at least one set of first configuration information and the execution conditions of conditional handover. Each set of the first configuration information includes a set of candidate primary cell configuration information for conditional handover and / or at least one set of conditional primary-secondary cell addition or modification CPAC configuration information. Each set of the CPAC configuration information includes the configuration information of the candidate primary-secondary cell corresponding to the candidate primary cell and the CPAC execution conditions corresponding to the configuration information of the candidate primary-secondary cell. The candidate primary cell includes the serving cell of the terminal, and / or the candidate primary-secondary cell includes the serving cell of the terminal.

[0041] The serving cell of the terminal includes the serving cell when the UE receives the first configuration information, and includes at least one of a PCell, an SCell, and a PSCell.

[0042] Optionally, the terminal obtains at least one set of first configuration information and the execution conditions of conditional handover from a first network-side device (source base station).

[0043] In step 202, the terminal determines the target execution conditions and / or target CPAC execution conditions of the conditional handover based on the first configuration information.

[0044] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal acquires at least one set of first configuration information and the execution conditions for conditional handover. The candidate primary cells in the first configuration information include the serving cell of the terminal, and / or the candidate primary / secondary cells in the first configuration information include the serving cell of the terminal. Based on the first configuration information, the terminal determines the target execution conditions and / or the target CPAC execution conditions for conditional handover, that is, determines the target execution conditions and / or the target CPAC execution conditions corresponding to the case where the serving cell of the terminal becomes a candidate primary cell or a candidate primary / secondary cell. Thereby, the purpose of accurately processing the execution conditions corresponding to the case where the serving cell becomes a candidate primary cell or a candidate primary / secondary cell is achieved. Further, the terminal can subsequently perform condition evaluation based on the target execution conditions and / or the target CPAC execution conditions, that is, when the target execution conditions and / or the target CPAC execution conditions are satisfied, corresponding operations such as CHO or CPAC or CHO with CPAC can be executed.

[0045] Here, for the UE to execute CHO with CPAC, it includes either: when the execution conditions of the candidate primary cell and the execution conditions corresponding to the candidate primary / secondary cell corresponding to the candidate primary cell are satisfied, the UE executes a handover to the candidate primary cell and adds the candidate primary / secondary cell; or when the execution conditions of the candidate primary cell are satisfied but the execution conditions corresponding to the candidate primary / secondary cell corresponding to the candidate primary cell are not satisfied, the UE executes a handover to the candidate primary cell.

[0046] As an alternative implementation form, when the candidate primary / secondary cell corresponding to the candidate primary cell is the same cell as the serving cell of the terminal, the execution conditions for CPAC corresponding to the candidate primary / secondary cell are the first execution conditions. Here, the first execution conditions are associated with a first trigger condition, and the first trigger condition is The quality of the serving cell included in the condition setting information is equal to or higher than a first threshold value, and the quality of the serving cell included in the condition setting information is equal to or higher than the quality of the special cell SpCell, and at least one of the following is included: the quality of the SpCell is equal to or lower than a third threshold value, and the quality of the serving cell included in the condition setting information is equal to or higher than a fourth threshold value, the condition setting information includes a set of first setting information and the execution conditions for a corresponding conditional handover.

[0047] The above first execution conditions may be set by a candidate master base station or a candidate secondary base station.

[0048] In this implementation form, when the candidate primary secondary cell corresponding to the candidate primary cell is the same cell as the serving cell of the terminal, the network-side device sets the CPAC execution conditions corresponding to the candidate primary secondary cell as the first execution conditions, so that the terminal can determine the CPAC execution conditions for the serving cell.

[0049] As an alternative implementation form, when the candidate primary cell is the same cell as the serving cell of the terminal, the conditional execution conditions corresponding to the candidate primary cell become the second execution conditions. Here, the second execution conditions are associated with a second trigger condition, and the second trigger condition is the quality of the serving cell included in the condition setting information is equal to or higher than the quality of the special cell SpCell, and at least one of the following is included: the quality of the SpCell is equal to or lower than a third threshold value, and the quality of the serving cell included in the condition setting information is equal to or higher than a fourth threshold value, the condition setting information includes a set of first setting information and the execution conditions for a corresponding conditional handover.

[0050] Optionally, the second execution conditions are set by the source base station.

[0051] In this implementation, when the candidate primary cell is the same cell as the serving cell of the terminal, the network-side device sets the conditional execution condition corresponding to the candidate primary cell to the second execution condition, so that the terminal can determine the conditional execution condition for the serving cell.

[0052] Optionally, before the step in which the terminal determines the target CPAC execution condition based on the first setting information, when the trigger condition associated with the CPAC execution condition is the third trigger condition, and the candidate primary secondary cell corresponding to the CPAC execution condition is the serving cell, the method includes determining the trigger condition associated with the target CPAC execution condition as the fourth trigger condition, wherein the third trigger condition includes at least one of: the quality of the candidate neighboring cell included in the condition setting information is greater than or equal to a fifth threshold; the quality of the different radio access technology (Inter-RAT) neighboring cells included in the condition setting information is greater than or equal to a sixth threshold; the quality of the candidate neighboring cell included in the condition setting information is greater than or equal to the quality of the special cell SpCell; the quality of the SpCell is less than or equal to a seventh threshold, and the quality of the candidate neighboring cell included in the condition setting information is greater than or equal to an eighth threshold; The fourth trigger condition includes at least one of: the quality of the serving cell included in the condition setting information is greater than or equal to the fifth threshold or the sixth threshold; the quality of the serving cell included in the condition setting information is greater than or equal to the quality of the special cell SpCell; the quality of the SpCell is less than or equal to a seventh threshold, and the quality of the serving cell included in the condition setting information is greater than or equal to an eighth threshold; The condition setting information includes a set of first setting information and the execution condition of the corresponding conditional handover.

[0053] Optionally, before the terminal determines the target execution condition of the conditional handover based on the first setting information, the step is: When the trigger condition associated with the execution condition of the conditional handover is the fifth trigger condition, and the candidate primary cell corresponding to the execution condition of the conditional handover is the serving cell, the method includes determining the trigger condition associated with the execution condition of the conditional handover as the sixth trigger condition. Here, the fifth trigger condition is: The quality of the candidate neighboring cell included in the condition setting information is equal to or higher than the quality of the special cell SpCell, The quality of the SpCell is equal to or lower than the ninth threshold, and the quality of the candidate neighboring cell included in the condition setting information is equal to or higher than the tenth threshold, including at least one of them. The sixth trigger condition is: The quality of the serving cell included in the condition setting information is equal to or higher than the quality of the special cell SpCell, The quality of the SpCell is equal to or lower than the ninth threshold, and the quality of the serving cell included in the condition setting information is equal to or higher than the tenth threshold, including at least one of them. The condition setting information includes a set of first setting information and the execution condition of the corresponding conditional handover.

[0054] Optionally, after the terminal determines the target execution condition and / or the target CPAC execution condition of the conditional handover based on the first setting information, The method further includes the terminal performing a condition evaluation based on the target execution condition and / or the target CPAC execution condition.

[0055] In the embodiments of the present application, after determining the target execution condition and / or the target CPAC execution condition, condition evaluation can be performed according to the conventional method, and the detailed description is omitted here.

[0056] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal acquires at least one set of first configuration information and the execution conditions of conditional handover. The candidate primary cells in the first configuration information include the serving cell of the terminal, and / or the candidate primary / secondary cells in the first configuration information include the serving cell of the terminal. The terminal determines the target execution conditions and / or the target CPAC execution conditions of conditional handover based on the first configuration information, that is, determines the target execution conditions and / or the target CPAC execution conditions corresponding to the case where the serving cell of the terminal becomes a candidate cell. Thereby, the purpose of accurately processing the execution conditions corresponding to the case where the serving cell becomes a candidate primary cell or a candidate primary / secondary cell is achieved.

[0057] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the quality of a cell (serving cell or neighboring cell) can be indicated, for example, by the sum of the measurement result of the cell and one or more parameters set by the network side, or by the difference between the measurement result of the cell and one or more parameters set by the network side. The parameters include at least one of an offset value corresponding to an event, an offset value specific to a frequency point corresponding to a reference signal, and an offset value specific to a cell corresponding to the cell.

[0082] Hereinafter, the processing method of the condition setting information of the present application will be described by specific embodiments.

[0083] In the first specific embodiment of the present application, a first execution condition associated with a serving cell is defined, and the first execution condition is set by the network side only when the serving cell is a candidate primary secondary cell. The first execution condition is associated with N first trigger conditions, and the first trigger conditions are associated with a conditional event A1 (condEvent A1) or a conditional event similar to A1 (condEvent A1-like), and the definitions of condEvent A1 and condEvent A1-like are as shown in Table 1.

Table 1

[0084] Here, Ms is the measurement result of the serving cell (without considering any offset), Ofs is the offset amount of the serving cell measurement event, and Ocs is the offset amount specific to the serving cell. Both are set by RRC. If not set by RRC, they are set to 0. Hys is the hysteresis parameter of the serving cell measurement event and is set by RRC. For RSRP, Ms is expressed in dBm. For RSRQ and RS-SINR, Ms is expressed in dB. Ofs, Ocs, and Hys are expressed in dB, and Thresh is expressed in the same unit as Ms.

[0085] Optionally, the setting information of the first trigger condition includes a first trigger time in addition to the parameters defined above.

[0086] Regarding the execution condition associated with CPA or CPC, when including the first execution condition, if the measurement result of the serving cell satisfies the entry condition of the event associated with the trigger condition included in the first execution condition within the first trigger time, the serving cell is recognized as satisfying the trigger condition. If the measId corresponding to the trigger condition is modified / deleted or no longer exists, or if the measurement result of the serving cell satisfies the exit condition of the event associated with the trigger condition within the first trigger time, the serving cell is considered not to satisfy the trigger condition. If the serving cell satisfies all the trigger conditions included in the first execution condition, the serving cell is considered to satisfy the first execution condition.

[0087] As shown in Figure 5, the method of the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps 501 to 506.

[0088] In step 501, the source base station sends one or more first messages instructing the target base station to prepare for CHO with CPAC to one or more candidate base stations.

[0089] Optionally, when the source base station and the UE support CHO with CPAC, step 501 is executed.

[0090] Optionally, the first message is a handover request message (HANDOVER REQUEST message), or it may be other messages. When the first message is a HANDOVER REQUEST message, it may be explicitly specified (for example, adding indication information indicating CHO with CPAC to the message) or implicitly indicated (for example, including configuration information associated with CPAC in the message) that the HANDOVER REQUEST message is for CHO with CPAC.

[0091] Optionally, the first message includes candidate PCell(s) and / or PSCell(s) recommended by the source base station. Optionally, the first message includes the cell identifier of the UE's current serving cell (PCell, PSCell, and / or SCell), and the cell identifier may be one or more of a frequency point, PCI, and serving cell Id.

[0092] In step 502, the candidate target base station 1 (the first MN) performs access control, and the first MN selects candidate SN(s) for each PCell associated therewith and communicates with the candidate SN(s).

[0093] The first MN or the first SN sets execution conditions for the candidate PSCell associated with the candidate Pcell, and the first SN is the SN associated with the candidate PSCell.

[0094] Here, the communication process between the first MN and the first SN includes the first MN sending a SN addition request to the first SN, and the first SN sending a SN addition request acknowledgement message to the first MN.

[0095] Optionally, if the cell identifier of the PSCell included in the first response message of the candidate SN (the first SN) is the same as the serving cell, the first MN determines the execution conditions corresponding to the PSCell configuration information as the first execution conditions, and the first response message includes the PSCell configuration information of the candidate PSCell sent by the first SN to the first MN.

[0096] Optionally, if the cell identifier of the candidate PSCell selected by the first SN is the same as the serving cell, the first SN determines the execution conditions corresponding to the PSCell configuration information as the first execution conditions.

[0097] In step 503, the first MN sends a response message to the source base station.

[0098] The response message sent by the first MN to the source base station may be a HANDOVER REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE message, which includes one or more sets of CHO with CPAC configuration information. The set of CHO with CPAC configuration information includes the configuration information of one candidate PCell and the configuration information and CPAC execution conditions of one or more candidate PSCell(s) associated with the candidate PCell. Optionally, the set of CHO with CPAC configuration further includes the configuration information of other MCG / SCG Scells within the target MCG and / or target SCG.

[0099] In step 504, the source base station sends RRC reconfiguration information including one or more sets of CHO with CPAC configuration information and the execution conditions of the CHO to the UE.

[0100] Here, one piece of RRC reconfiguration information includes a set of CHO with CPAC configuration information, or all the CHO with CPAC configuration information included in the response information sent by one candidate target base station, or all the CHO with CPAC configuration information included in the response information sent by all candidate target base stations.

[0101] In step 505, the UE sends an RRC reconfiguration complete message to the source base station.

[0102] Here, the UE sends an RRC reconfiguration complete message to the source base station to notify the source base station that it has received the RRC reconfiguration information. The UE stores the RRC reconfiguration message.

[0103] This step 505 is an optional step.

[0104] In step 506, the UE begins to evaluate the CHO with CPAC conditions.

[0105] Specifically, this step 506 includes at least one of the following.

[0106] First, the UE first evaluates the CHO execution conditions of all the configured candidate cells. If the CHO execution conditions of one or more candidate cells are satisfied, the UE recognizes these candidate cells that satisfy the CHO execution conditions as the first candidate cells. The UE then continues to evaluate the execution conditions of the candidate PSCell corresponding to the first candidate cell. If the candidate PSCell of the first candidate cell satisfies the CPAC execution conditions, the UE sets the first candidate cell and the candidate PSCell associated therewith as a set of trigger cells. Second, the UE evaluates the CHO execution conditions of all the configured candidate cells and evaluates the CPAC execution conditions of the candidate PSCells corresponding to all the CHO candidate cells. When the CHO candidate cell and at least one of its corresponding candidate PSCells satisfy the CPAC execution conditions, the UE sets the candidate cell that satisfies the CHO execution conditions and one candidate PSCell that satisfies the conditions and is associated therewith as a set of trigger cells. Optionally, if only the CHO execution conditions of the candidate cell are satisfied and there is no corresponding candidate PSCell that satisfies the CPAC execution conditions, the UE arbitrarily selects one candidate PCell that satisfies the execution conditions as the target PCell.

[0107] If there is only one set of trigger cells, the UE executes the CHO with CPA procedure for it. If there are multiple sets of trigger cells, the UE arbitrarily selects one set of trigger cells and executes the CHO with CPA procedure.

[0108] In the second specific embodiment of the present application, for a candidate PSCell, when the CPAC execution condition included in the CHO condition reset is determined by the protocol / set by the network to be A4 / B1, if the candidate PSCell corresponding to the CPAC execution condition is the current serving cell, the UE recognizes that A4 / B1 means that the quality of the serving cell is equal to or higher than the threshold value, that is, it is recognized that A4 is A4&A1 and B1 is B1&A1. As shown in Table 2, when evaluating the execution condition, the UE applies some or all of the parameters corresponding to the execution condition associated with A4 / B1 set by the network.

Table 2

[0109] For a candidate PCell or a candidate PSCell, when the CHO execution condition or the CPAC execution condition included in the CHO condition reset or the CPAC condition reset is determined by the protocol / set by the network to be A3 / A5, if the candidate PCell corresponding to the CHO execution condition is the current serving cell, the UE recognizes that A3 / A5 means A3&A1 or A5&A1.

Table 3

[0110] The relevant parameters in Table 2 and Table 3 have already been described in the corresponding description of Table 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0111] In the third specific embodiment of the present application, a first execution condition associated with a serving cell is defined, and the first execution condition is set by the network side only when the serving cell is a candidate primary secondary cell. The first execution condition is associated with N first trigger conditions, and the first trigger conditions are associated with a conditional event A1 (condEvent A1), or are associated with a conditional event similar to A1 (condEvent A1-like), and the definitions of condEvent A1 and condEvent A1-like are as shown in Table 1.

[0112] The method of this embodiment includes the following steps 601 and 602.

[0113] In step 601, the source base station transmits one or more first messages instructing the target base station to prepare for CHO with CPAC to one or more candidate base stations.

[0114] In step 602, the candidate target base station 1 (the first MN) performs access control. The first MN selects candidate SN(s) for each PCell associated therewith, communicates with the candidate SN(s), recognizes the node corresponding to the candidate target base station 1 as the first MN, and the first MN sets the corresponding CPAC configuration information for each selected PCell.

[0115] Here, the communication process between the first MN and the first SN includes the first MN transmitting a SN addition request (SN Addition Request) to the first SN, and the first SN transmitting a SN addition request acknowledgement message (SN Addition Request Acknowledge) to the first MN.

[0116] Optionally, if the cell identifier of the PSCell included in the first response message of the candidate SN (the first SN) is the same as that of the serving cell, the first MN discards the configuration information of the candidate PSCell and sends rejection information indicating the reason for rejection that it is the same cell as the serving cell to the candidate SN. After receiving the rejection message, the candidate SN releases the corresponding resources. The first response message includes the configuration information of the candidate PSCell sent by the first SN to the first MN.

[0117] In the fourth specific embodiment of the present application, the method includes the following steps 701 and 702.

[0118] In step 701, the source base station sends a first message instructing the target base station to prepare for CHO with CPAC to one or more candidate base stations.

[0119] This step 701 is the same as the above step 501.

[0120] If the first message includes candidate Pcell(s) and / or PSCell(s) recommended by the source base station, it is ensured by protocol determination / network configuration / network implementation that the candidate PCell(s) and / or PSCell(s) included in the first message do not include the serving cell.

[0121] In step 702, the candidate MN sends the recommended PSCell(s) to the candidate SN. When determining the PSCell(s), the candidate SN can only select the candidate PSCell(s) from the recommended candidate PSCell(s) included in the first message, and / or when the candidate MN corresponding to the candidate target base station determines the PCell(s), it can only select the candidate PCell(s) from the recommended candidate PSCell(s) included in the first message.

[0122] In the fifth specific embodiment of the present application, a second execution condition associated with the serving cell is defined, and the second execution condition is set by the network side only when the serving cell is a candidate primary cell. The second execution condition is associated with N second trigger conditions, and the second trigger conditions are associated with a condition event A1-like similar to A1, and the definition of condEvent A1-like is as shown in Table 4.

[0123] Here, Ms is the measurement result of the serving cell (candidate PCell) (without considering any offset), Mp is the measurement result of the SpCell (without considering any offset), Mn is the measurement result of the adjacent cell (without considering any offset), Ofs is the offset amount of the serving cell measurement event, Ocs is the offset amount specific to the serving cell, both are set by RRC, and if not set by RRC, they are set to 0. Ofp is the offset amount of the primary cell measurement event, Ocp is the offset amount specific to the primary cell, both are set by RRC, and if not set by RRC, they are set to 0. Ofn is the offset amount of the adjacent cell measurement event, Ocn is the offset amount specific to the adjacent cell, both are set by RRC, and if not set by RRC, they are set to 0. Hys is the hysteresis parameter of this event, set by RRC, Off is the offset parameter of this event, set by RRC. For RSRP, Ms and Mp are indicated in dBm, or for RSRQ and RS-SINR, Ms and Mp are indicated in dB. Ofs, Ocs, Hys, Ofp, Ocp, off are indicated in dB, and Thresh is indicated in the same unit as Ms / Mp.

[0124] The method includes the following steps 801 and 802.

[0125] In step 801, the source base station sends one or more first messages requesting the preparation of CHO with CPAC or the preparation of CHO to one or more candidate base stations, In step 802, the candidate target base station performs access control, and the candidate target base station sends a CHO request to the candidate PCell cells controlled thereby, and sets execution conditions for each candidate PCell cell. When the candidate PCell cell identifier is the same cell as the serving cell, the candidate target base station determines the execution condition corresponding to the candidate PCell cell as the second execution condition.

[0126] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal acquires at least one set of first setting information and the execution conditions for conditional handover, the candidate primary cell in the first setting information includes the serving cell of the terminal, and / or the candidate primary and secondary cell in the first setting information includes the serving cell of the terminal. The terminal determines the target execution conditions and / or target CPAC execution conditions for conditional handover based on the first setting information, that is, determines the target execution conditions and / or target CPAC execution conditions corresponding to the case where the serving cell of the terminal becomes a candidate cell, thereby achieving the purpose of accurately processing the execution conditions corresponding to the case where the serving cell becomes a candidate primary cell or a candidate primary and secondary cell.
