Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technology, but is not limited to wireless communication technology, and in particular to information processing methods and apparatus, communication devices and storage media. [Background technology]

[0002] In multi-rate dual connectivity (MR-DC), a user equipment (UE) can utilize radio resources provided by two different schedules located at two different next generation radio access network (NG-RAN) nodes connected via a non-ideal backhaul, one providing New Radio (NR) access and the other providing E-UTRA (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access) or NR access. One node is designated as the master node (MN) and the other as the secondary node (SN). The MN and SN are connected via a network interface, with at least the MN connected to the core network.

[0003] In the related art, in order to improve mobility, selective activation of cell groups in MR-DC is proposed, in which a network device can provide a UE with a cell group to be activated, so that subsequent configuration can still be performed after a CG (Cell Group) is changed, and the network device does not need to reset or reinitialize the selective activation configuration of the corresponding cell group. That is, in the selective activation of a cell group, after activating a new cell group configuration, the UE does not delete the selective activation configuration of the corresponding cell group, which can reduce signaling overhead and shorten the interruption duration of a CG change.

[0015] 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 includes at least one UE 11 and at least two access network devices 12.

[0016] UE 11 may refer to a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user. UE 11 can communicate with one or more core networks via a Radio Access Network (RAN), and the UE can connect to external network devices, other UEs, etc., via the core network. UE 11 may be an Internet of Things UE, such as a sensor device, a mobile phone (also called a "cellular" phone), or a computer with an Internet of Things UE, and may be, for example, a fixed, portable, pocket, handheld, computer-integrated, or vehicle-mounted device. For example, UE 11 may be a station (STA), subscriber unit, subscriber station, mobile station, mobile, remote station, access point, remote terminal, access terminal, user terminal, user agent, user device, or user equipment (UE). Alternatively, the UE 11 may be an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) device, an in-vehicle device, such as a driving computer with wireless communication capabilities, or a wireless communication device connected to an external driving computer, or a roadside device, such as a street lamp, traffic light, or other roadside device with wireless communication capabilities.

[0017] The access network device 12 may be a network-side device in a wireless communication system. Here, the wireless communication system may be the 4th generation mobile communication (4G) system, also called a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, or the wireless communication system may be a 5G system, also called a new radio (NR) system or a 5G NR system. Or the wireless communication system may be a system that is a next-generation 5G system. Here, the access network in the 5G system may be called a New Generation-Radio Access Network (NG-RAN) or a Machine Type Communication (MTC) system.

[0018] The access network device 12 may be an evolved access device (eNB) used in a 4G system. Alternatively, the access network device 12 may be an access device (gNB) using a centralized-distributed architecture in a 5G system. When the access network device 12 uses a centralized-distributed architecture, it typically includes a centralized unit (CU) and at least two distributed units (DUs). The centralized unit includes protocol stacks for a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer, a Radio Link Control (RLC) layer, and a Media Access Control (MAC) layer, while the distributed units include a physical (PHY) layer protocol stack. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the specific implementation of the access network device 12.

[0019] A wireless connection can be established between the access network device 12 and the UE 11 via a wireless air interface. In different embodiments, the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on a fourth generation mobile communication network technology (4G) standard, or the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on a fifth generation mobile communication network technology (5G) standard, for example, the wireless air interface may be a new radio, or the wireless air interface may be a wireless air interface based on a 5G next generation communication network technology standard.

[0020] An E2E (End to End) or D2D (Device to Device) connection may be established between the UE 11. For example, in a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) scenario, such as V2V (Vehicle to Vehicle) communication, V2I (Vehicle to Infrastructure) communication, and V2P (Vehicle to Pedestrian) communication, the like may be used.

[0021] The access network device 12 is located in a communication system integrated with a satellite communication system, and can provide connection services to satellites and allow them to access a core network. For example, the access network device 12 may be an access network device having a satellite gateway function in the communication system, such as a gateway device, a ground station device, a non-terrestrial network gateway / satellite gateway (NTN-Gateway), etc.

[0022] The wireless communication system may include a core network device 13. The plurality of access network devices 12 are each connected to the core network device 13.

[0023] Exemplarily, the core network device 13 may be a Mobility Management Entity (MME) in an Evolved Packet Core (EPC), or may be an Enhanced Serving Mobile Location Centre (E-SMLC), etc.

[0024] Exemplarily, the core network device 13 may be an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), a Location Management Function (LMF), a Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC), etc. The implementation form of the core network device 13 is not limited to the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0025] The network architecture shown in FIG. 1 is merely an example to which the embodiments of the present disclosure are applied, and does not limit the scope of application of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0026] In order to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a number of embodiments to clearly explain the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Of course, those skilled in the art can understand that the multiple embodiments provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented alone, can be implemented in combination with the methods of other embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and can be implemented alone or in combination with some methods in other related technologies, and are not limited to the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0027] Depending on the difference in the core network to which the MR-DC is connected, the MR-DC may include an MR-DC connected to an EPC and an MR-DC connected to an NGC.

[0028] 1. MR-DC connected to EPC E-UTRAN (Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network) supports MR-DC via E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity (EN-DC), where a UE is connected to one eNB acting as a MN and one en-gNB acting as a SN. The eNB is connected to the EPC via an S1 interface and to the en-gNB via an X2 interface. The en-gNB may be connected to the EPC via an S1-U interface and to other en-gNBs via an X2-U interface.

[0029] 2. MR-DC connected to NGC A) E-UTRA-NR dual connection (NGEN-DC) NG-RAN supports NG-RAN and E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity (NGEN-DC), where a UE is connected to one ng-eNB acting as MN and one gNB acting as SN. The ng-eNB is connected to the 5GC, and the gNB is connected to the ng-eNB via the Xn interface. B) NR-E-UTRA Dual Connectivity (NE-DC) The NG-RAN supports NR-E-UTRA dual connectivity (NE-DC), where a UE is connected to one gNB acting as the MN and one ng-eNB acting as the SN. The gNB is connected to the 5GC, and the ng-eNB is connected to the gNB via the Xn interface. C) NR-NR dual connection (NR-DC) NG-RAN supports NR-NR dual connectivity (NR-DC), where a UE is connected to one gNB acting as a mobile node (MN) and another gNB acting as a system node (SN). The master gNB may be connected to the 5GC via the NG interface, the connection between the two gNBs via the Xn interface, and the secondary gNB may be connected to the 5GC via the NG-U interface. NR-DC may also be used for a UE to access a single gNB, simultaneously configuring a master cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG) as both the mobile node and the system node.

[0030] As shown in Figure 2, with dual connectivity, a UE can access two cell groups: a master cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG). Multiple cells can exist in an MCG. Among them, there is a cell for initiating initial access, which is called a PCell (Primary Cell). The PCell in the MCG and the SCell (Secondary Cell) in the MCG are combined as a single entity through carrier aggregation (CA). The primary cell in the MCG is a PCell, and the secondary cell is an SCell. The primary secondary cell in the SCG is a PSCell, and the secondary cell is an SCell. Because much signaling is transmitted only via the PCell and PSCell, for ease of explanation, the protocol also defines the concept of a special cell (sPCell), and the PCell and PSCell are collectively referred to as sPCell.

[0031] In condition-based mobility operations such as conditional handover (CHO), conditional primary secondary cell change (CPC), or conditional primary secondary cell addition (CPA), a UE configured with CHO / CPC / CPA must deconfigure the CHO / CPC / CPA when completing random access to the target PCell / PSCell. Therefore, if the network does not reconfigure and reinitialize the CHO / CPC / CPA, the UE loses the opportunity to continue running the CHO / CPC / CPA. This increases the delay and signaling overhead of handover or SCG change, especially when CGs (cell groups) are frequently changed in frequency range (FR) 2 application scenarios.

[0032] Therefore, in the launch of related mobility enhancement projects, selective activation of cell groups in MR-DC is proposed, which allows subsequent configuration to be performed even after CG change, and the network does not need to reconfigure or reinitialize the selective activation configuration of the corresponding cell group, which can reduce signaling overhead and shorten the interruption time of CG change.

[0033] In the selective activation of a cell group, a network device can provide a cell group to be activated to a UE, and then activate or deactivate the cell group to be activated without providing the cell group configuration again. That is, in the selective activation of a cell group, after activating a new cell group configuration, the UE does not delete the selective activation configuration of the corresponding cell group.

[0034] Selective activation of cell groups may also be referred to as cell group activation. Through cell group activation, the corresponding configuration information can be performed even after a cell group or cell is changed, and the network does not need to reconfigure or reinitialize the corresponding cell group activation configuration information. Therefore, cell group activation can reduce signaling overhead and shorten the interruption time of a cell group change.

[0035] In one embodiment, the configuration information for cell group activation may include a configuration identity (identifier) ​​and a target cell configuration or a target cell group configuration. Optionally, the configuration information for cell group activation may include a trigger condition (which may also be called an execution condition or an activation condition).

[0036] In one embodiment, the selective activation of a cell group is a mobility management process, including the following mobility management process: A terminal device activates or deactivates a corresponding cell or cell group based on signaling sent from the network, or a criterion specified in a protocol, or independently by the terminal device, by setting a cell group activation configuration, or accesses a cell or cell group after applying a corresponding cell configuration or cell group configuration.

[0037] In one embodiment, the selective activation of the cell group is a mobility management process, which includes the following mobility management process: after performing the mobility process, not deleting or releasing some or all of the corresponding configuration information, where not deleting or releasing some or all of the corresponding configuration information may be understood as retaining some or all of the corresponding configuration information.

[0038] In the present disclosure, the cell group is one or more of a Master Cell Group (MCG) and a Secondary Cell Group (SCG), where the MCG includes one or more of a Primary Cell (PCell) and a Secondary Cell (SCell), where the SCG includes one or more of a Primary Secondary Cell (PSCell) and a Secondary Cell (SCell).

[0039] In the present disclosure, selective activation of cell groups may be referred to as cell group activation, and may include one or more of MCG activation and SCG activation.

[0040] In the present disclosure, selective activation of a cell may be referred to as cell activation, and may include one or more of PCell activation, PSCell activation, and SCell activation.

[0041] In the selective activation introduced by cell groups, there are multiple cell groups to be activated, and a cell is selectively activated from the multiple cell groups to be activated. Unlike condition-based mobility operations (CHO / CPA / CPC), in the process of selective activation of cell groups, after a UE performs a cell group change or cell group addition, it stores corresponding configuration information, including the configuration information corresponding to the cell group currently activated by the UE. For the configuration information stored in the UE, the UE needs to perform corresponding measurements and evaluate whether the trigger conditions are met, which on the one hand causes unnecessary resource waste; on the other hand, if the UE meets the trigger conditions corresponding to the current serving cell group, the UE reapplies the configuration of the original serving cell group and initiates a random access channel (RACH), which causes unnecessary interruptions and radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration.

[0042] 3 is a schematic flowchart of an information processing method shown in an exemplary embodiment. The information processing method is applied to a UE, and as shown in FIG. 3, the method may include the following step 301:

[0043] In step 301, it is determined whether to perform an operation related to mobility configuration of the first cell based on whether the first cell is the serving cell of the UE.

[0044] In this embodiment, the UE includes, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, an in-vehicle terminal, and / or an Internet of Things terminal.

[0045] The serving cell of the UE refers to the cell in which the UE is currently located or the cell that provides data transmission to the UE.

[0046] In some examples, the first cell may be any cell, for example, the first cell may be a cell that the UE is not currently randomly accessing, i.e., the first cell may be any cell other than the serving cell of the UE, and of course, the first cell may be the serving cell of the UE.

[0047] In some examples, the UE may determine by itself whether the first cell is the serving cell of the UE, or may determine through other network elements whether the first cell is the serving cell of the UE and notify the UE of the result through specific signaling, and the present disclosure is not limited in this regard.

[0048] Optionally, the method may further include determining whether the first cell is a serving cell of the UE.

[0049] In some examples, the first cell may be a candidate cell group and the serving cell is a serving cell group, or the first cell is a candidate cell in a candidate cell group and the serving cell is a serving cell in a serving cell group.

[0050] Here, the candidate cell group may be a master cell group or a secondary cell group to be accessed.

[0051] As an example, the number of first cells may be multiple, i.e., multiple first cells are grouped into candidate cell groups for the UE, and the number of serving cells may be multiple, and multiple serving cells are grouped into serving cell groups for the UE.

[0052] As an example, the number of first cells may be one, and the first cell is a candidate cell in the candidate cell group of the UE, and the number of serving cells may be one, and the serving cell is a serving cell in the serving cell group of the UE.

[0053] In some examples, the candidate cell group is a master cell group (MCG) or a secondary cell group (SCG), and the candidate cell is a primary cell (PCell), a primary secondary cell (PSCell), or a secondary cell (SCell).

[0054] In some examples, the first cell may be a candidate cell group, for example, a candidate master cell group or a candidate secondary cell group.

[0055] In some examples, the first cell may be a candidate cell, such as a candidate primary cell, a candidate primary secondary cell, or a candidate secondary cell.

[0056] Exemplarily, determining whether the first cell is a serving cell of the UE includes: In response to the first cell being in a candidate cell group, determining whether the first cell is in a serving master cell group of the UE; In response to the first cell being in a candidate cell group, determining whether the first cell is in a serving secondary cell group of the UE; In response to the first cell being a candidate cell, determining whether the first cell is a serving primary cell for the UE; In response to the first cell being a candidate cell, determining whether the first cell is a serving primary secondary cell for the UE; in response to the first cell being a candidate cell, determining whether the first cell is a serving secondary cell for the UE.

[0057] Exemplarily, taking the first cell as an example of a candidate cell group, in response to the first cell being a candidate cell group, it can be determined whether the first cell is a serving master cell group of the UE based on whether the configuration information included in the mobility configuration of the candidate cell group corresponds to the cell group identifier of the serving master cell group.

[0058] For example, if the configuration information included in the mobility configuration of a candidate cell group corresponds to the cell group identifier of the serving master cell group, it is determined that the first cell is the serving master cell group of the UE, and if the configuration information included in the mobility configuration of a candidate cell group does not correspond to the cell group identifier of the serving master cell group, it is determined that the first cell is not the serving master cell group of the UE.

[0059] In some examples, the mobility configuration can be used for selective activation of a group of cells or selective activation of a cell.

[0060] In some examples, the mobility configuration of the first cell comprises: A configuration identifier; and a trigger condition associated with one or more measurement identifiers; Configuration information of a candidate cell group or a candidate cell; and indication information indicating that the mobility configuration is to be used for mobility operation.

[0061] In this example, the configuration identifier may be, for example, condReconfigId (i.e., the ID where the condition has been reset), The trigger condition may be, for example, condExecutionCond and / or condExecutionCondSCG, where the trigger condition may be represented by one or more measurement identifiers.

[0062] The configuration information of the candidate cell group or the candidate cell may be, for example, condRRCReconfig, where the configuration information of the candidate cell group or the candidate cell may be represented by RRCReconfiguration.

[0063] In some examples, the operation related to mobility configuration of the first cell includes: initiating measurements corresponding to trigger conditions of a mobility configuration of the first cell; evaluating a trigger condition of a mobility configuration of the first cell, the trigger condition being included in the mobility configuration of the first cell; and performing mobility configuration of the first cell when a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell is met.

[0064] That is, in some embodiments, in response to a first cell being the serving cell of the UE, no operation related to the mobility configuration of the first cell is performed, for example, no measurement corresponding to a trigger condition of the mobility configuration of the first cell is initiated, or no trigger condition of the mobility configuration of the first cell is evaluated, and the trigger condition is included in the mobility configuration of the first cell, or if the trigger condition of the mobility configuration of the first cell is satisfied, no mobility configuration of the first cell is performed.

[0065] In some embodiments, in response to the first cell not being the serving cell of the UE, an operation related to a mobility configuration of the first cell is performed, such as initiating measurements corresponding to a trigger condition of a mobility configuration of the first cell or evaluating a trigger condition of a mobility configuration of the first cell and, if the trigger condition is included in the mobility configuration of the first cell or the trigger condition of a mobility configuration of the first cell is satisfied, performing a mobility configuration of the first cell.

[0066] For example, if the first cell is the UE's serving cell group / cell, the UE does not initiate measurement of the first cell as a candidate cell group / cell, for example, does not initiate measurement corresponding to the trigger condition of mobility configuration of the first cell, which may be, for example, measurement of the signal strength of the first cell; or the UE does not evaluate the trigger condition of mobility configuration of the first cell after obtaining the measurement result of the first cell; or the UE may not perform mobility configuration of the first cell if the first cell meets the trigger condition of mobility configuration of the first cell, for example, does not select the first cell as a target cell (i.e., selected cell) to be used for mobility.

[0067] Also, for example, if the first cell is not the serving cell group / cell of the UE, the UE may initiate measurement of the first cell for the first cell as a candidate cell group / cell, for example, initiate measurement corresponding to the trigger condition of mobility configuration of the first cell, which may be, for example, measurement of the signal strength of the first cell, or the UE may evaluate the trigger condition of mobility configuration of the first cell based on the measurement result of the first cell, or the UE may not perform mobility configuration of the first cell if the first cell meets the trigger condition of mobility configuration of the first cell, for example, select the first cell as a target cell (i.e., selected cell) to be used for mobility.

[0068] In some examples, performing mobility configuration of the first cell includes: determining the first cell as a trigger cell; If the first cell is a trigger cell, selecting the first cell as the selected cell; and applying the configuration information of the first cell when the first cell is set as the selected cell.

[0069] In some embodiments, in response to a first cell being the serving cell of the UE, if a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell is satisfied, an operation related to mobility configuration of the first cell is not performed, for example, the first cell is not determined as a trigger cell, or if the first cell is the trigger cell, the first cell is not selected as a selected cell, or if the first cell is the selected cell, configuration information of the first cell is not applied.

[0070] In some embodiments, in response to the first cell not being the serving cell of the UE, if a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell is satisfied, an operation related to mobility configuration of the first cell is performed, such as determining the first cell as a trigger cell, or if the first cell is the trigger cell, selecting the first cell as a selected cell, or if the first cell is the selected cell, applying configuration information of the first cell.

[0071] In the present disclosure, if the trigger condition of the mobility configuration of a candidate cell is satisfied, the candidate cell may be the trigger cell.

[0072] In the present disclosure, after a candidate cell is activated, the candidate cell is changed to a serving cell, where the candidate cell is activated when the configuration information included in the mobility configuration of the candidate cell is applied.

[0073] In the information processing method of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a UE determines whether to perform an operation related to a mobility setting of a first cell based on whether the first cell is the serving cell of the UE, and performs a different operation depending on whether the first cell is the current serving cell of the UE, compared to when the UE performs an operation related to a mobility setting of the UE's current serving cell regardless of whether the first cell is the serving cell of the UE, thereby reducing unnecessary resource waste caused by performing an operation related to a mobility setting of the serving cell or avoiding the occurrence of situations such as signal interruption.

[0074] In one embodiment, in step 301, the step of determining whether to perform an operation related to mobility configuration of the first cell based on whether the first cell is a serving cell of the UE includes: determining whether to start a measurement corresponding to a trigger condition of a mobility configuration of the first cell based on whether the first cell is a serving cell of the UE; determining whether to evaluate a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell based on whether the first cell is a serving cell of the UE; and determining whether to perform mobility configuration of the first cell based on whether the first cell is a serving cell of the UE.

[0075] In some possible embodiments, if the UE determines that the first cell is not the UE's serving cell, it initiates measurements corresponding to a trigger condition of a mobility configuration of the first cell.

[0076] In some possible embodiments, if the UE determines that the first cell is the UE's serving cell, it does not initiate measurements corresponding to a trigger condition of a mobility configuration of the first cell.

[0077] In some possible embodiments, if the UE determines that the first cell is not the UE's serving cell, it evaluates a mobility configuration trigger condition for the first cell.

[0078] In some possible embodiments, if the UE determines that the first cell is the UE's serving cell, it does not evaluate the mobility configuration trigger condition of the first cell.

[0079] In some possible embodiments, if the UE determines that the first cell is not the UE's serving cell, it performs mobility configuration for the first cell if a trigger condition for mobility configuration for the first cell is met.

[0080] In some possible embodiments, if the UE determines that the first cell is the UE's serving cell, it does not perform mobility configuration for the first cell even if a trigger condition for mobility configuration for the first cell is met.

[0081] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is applied to a UE. As shown in FIG. 4, the method may include the following step 401:

[0082] In step 401, it is determined whether to initiate measurements corresponding to trigger conditions of mobility configuration of the first cell based on whether the first cell is the serving cell of the UE.

[0083] In some examples, the measurement corresponding to the trigger condition is a measurement according to a measurement identifier corresponding to the trigger condition, and a corresponding measurement target can be determined based on the measurement identifier, and a frequency corresponding to the measurement target is a frequency corresponding to a measurement reference signal corresponding to the first cell. By measuring the measurement identifier corresponding to the trigger condition, a measurement result of the first cell can be obtained.

[0084] In some examples, the measurement corresponding to the trigger condition may be, for example, a measurement of RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power), RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality) and / or SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio) for the first cell.

[0085] In this embodiment, determining whether to start a measurement corresponding to a trigger condition of a mobility setting of a first cell based on whether the first cell is the serving cell of the UE can reduce the occurrence of situations such as unnecessary resource waste caused by starting a measurement corresponding to a trigger condition of a mobility setting of a serving cell, compared to starting a measurement corresponding to a trigger condition of a mobility setting of the first cell regardless of whether the first cell is the serving cell of the UE.

[0086] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the step of determining whether to start measurements corresponding to the trigger conditions of the mobility configuration of the first cell based on whether the first cell is the serving cell of the UE includes at least one of the following steps 4011 to 4012.

[0087] In step 4011, in response to the first cell being the serving cell of the UE, not start measurements corresponding to trigger conditions of mobility configuration of the first cell.

[0088] In some embodiments, if a first cell is a serving cell of the UE, the UE may decide not to initiate measurements corresponding to a triggering condition of a mobility configuration of said first cell.

[0089] In this embodiment, in response to the first cell being the serving cell of the UE, measurements corresponding to the trigger conditions of the mobility configuration of the first cell may not be initiated, and the measurements may be, for example, measurements on the RSRP, RSRQ and / or SINR of the first cell.

[0090] In step 4012, in response to the first cell not being the serving cell of the UE, initiate measurements corresponding to trigger conditions of mobility configuration of the first cell.

[0091] In some embodiments, if the first cell is not the UE's serving cell, the UE may decide to initiate measurements corresponding to a triggering condition of a mobility configuration of said first cell.

[0092] In response to the first cell not being the serving cell of the UE, measurements corresponding to trigger conditions of the mobility configuration of the first cell may be initiated, and the measurements may be, for example, measurements on RSRP, RSRQ and / or SINR of the first cell.

[0093] In one embodiment, in step 4011, the step of not starting measurements corresponding to a trigger condition of a mobility configuration of the first cell in response to the first cell being the serving cell of the UE includes: The method may include a step of not starting measurement of a measurement identifier corresponding to a trigger condition of a mobility setting of the first cell in response to the first cell being a serving cell of the UE and the measurement identifier corresponding to a trigger condition of a mobility setting of the first cell not being associated with the mobility setting of another cell.

[0094] That is, when the first cell is the serving cell of the UE, the UE further determines whether to start measuring the measurement identifier corresponding to the trigger condition of the mobility setting of the first cell based on whether the measurement identifier corresponding to the trigger condition of the mobility setting of the first cell is associated with the mobility setting of another cell.

[0095] For example, if a measurement identifier corresponding to a trigger condition of the mobility configuration of the first cell is not associated with a mobility configuration of another cell, the UE does not initiate measurement of the measurement identifier corresponding to the trigger condition of the mobility configuration of the first cell.

[0096] Also, for example, if a measurement identifier corresponding to a trigger condition of a mobility setting of a first cell is associated with a mobility setting of another cell, the UE initiates measurement of the measurement identifier corresponding to the trigger condition of the mobility setting of the first cell.

[0097] The other cells refer to other candidate cells other than the first cell. For example, if a network device configures mobility configurations for four candidate cells for a UE, the four candidate cells are Cell1, Cell2, Cell3, and Cell4, respectively, and the serving cell of the UE is Cell1, the first cell is the serving cell of the UE, and the other cells are Cell2, Cell3, and Cell4.

[0098] The trigger condition may correspond to one or more measurement identifiers, which may be related to or correspond to a combination of a measurement object and a reporting configuration, where the measurement identifier, the measurement object, and the reporting configuration may all be determined based on the measurement configuration received by the UE from a network device. The measurement object may indicate object information that the UE should measure. For example, the object information may include a measurement frequency and / or a reference signal configuration.

[0099] One measurement identifier may be associated with only one triggering condition for mobility configuration of a candidate cell, or may be associated with triggering conditions for mobility configuration of multiple candidate cells.

[0100] For example, when the first cell is the serving cell of the UE, if a measurement identifier is associated only with the trigger condition of the mobility setting of the first cell, i.e., if the measurement identifier associated with the trigger condition of the mobility setting of the first cell is not associated with any other mobility setting, measurement of the measurement identifier corresponding to the trigger condition of the mobility setting of the first cell may not be initiated.

[0101] In another embodiment, in step 4011, the step of not starting measurements corresponding to a trigger condition of a mobility configuration of the first cell in response to the first cell being the serving cell of the UE includes: The method may include a step of not starting measurement of a measurement identifier corresponding to a trigger condition of a mobility setting of the first cell when the first cell is a serving cell of the UE and a measurement object associated with a measurement identifier corresponding to a trigger condition of a mobility setting of the first cell is not associated with another measurement identifier.

[0102] In this embodiment, if the first cell is the serving cell of the UE and there is only one measurement object associated with the trigger condition of the mobility configuration of the first cell, it is not necessary to start measuring the measurement identifier corresponding to the trigger condition of the mobility configuration of the first cell.

[0103] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is applied to a UE. As shown in FIG. 6, the method may include the following step 501:

[0104] In step 501, it is determined whether to evaluate a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell based on whether the first cell is the serving cell of the UE.

[0105] In some examples, the trigger condition for the mobility configuration of the first cell may include a trigger condition consisting of one or more mobility events, such as, but not limited to, one or more of: event A3, event A4, event A5, event A3 and event A3, event A5 and event A5, event A3 and event A5, and event A4 and event A4.

[0106] Here, event A3 indicates that the conditional reconfiguration candidate is higher than the PCell / PSCell by a certain offset, Event A4 indicates that the conditional reconfiguration candidate is higher than the absolute threshold; Event A5 indicates that the PCell / PSCell is below one absolute threshold and the conditional reconfiguration candidate is above another absolute threshold.

[0107] For example, the trigger condition may include, for example, event A3 and event A3, and the measurement quantity corresponding to one of the two events A3 may be RSRP, and the measurement quantity corresponding to the other event A3 may be RSRQ.

[0108] For example, the trigger condition may include, for example, event A3 and event A5, where the measurement quantity corresponding to event A3 may be RSRP and the measurement quantity corresponding to event A5 may be RSRQ.

[0109] For example, the trigger condition may include, for example, event A3 and event A5, where the measurement quantity corresponding to event A3 may be RSRQ and the measurement quantity corresponding to event A5 may be RSRP.

[0110] In this embodiment, whether to evaluate the mobility configuration trigger conditions of the first cell is determined based on whether the first cell is the serving cell of the UE, thereby reducing the occurrence of situations such as unnecessary resource waste caused by evaluating the mobility configuration trigger conditions of the serving cell compared to when the UE evaluates the mobility configuration trigger conditions of the first cell regardless of whether the first cell is the serving cell of the UE.

[0111] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the step of determining whether to evaluate the trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell based on whether the first cell is the serving cell of the UE may include at least one of the following steps 5011 to 5012.

[0112] In step 5011, in response to the first cell being the serving cell of the UE, not evaluate a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell.

[0113] In some embodiments, if a first cell is a serving cell of the UE, the UE may decide not to evaluate a trigger condition for mobility configuration of said first cell.

[0114] Wherein, a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell corresponds to a measurement identifier, and the trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell can be evaluated based on a measurement result of a measurement object (e.g., a measurement frequency) associated with the measurement identifier corresponding to the trigger condition.

[0115] In some examples, the first cell is a candidate cell group / cell, and for each mobility configuration stored in the UE, if a cell group / cell identifier corresponding to the configuration information of the candidate cell group / cell included in the mobility configuration corresponds to a current serving cell group / cell, evaluation of the corresponding trigger condition is not initiated.

[0116] For example, when a first cell is a candidate MCG, if a mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate MCG and the cell group identifier of the candidate MCG corresponds to the UE's current serving master cell group, evaluation of the trigger condition of the mobility configuration is not initiated.

[0117] For example, when a first cell is a candidate SCG, if a mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate SCG and the cell group identifier of the candidate SCG corresponds to the UE's current serving secondary cell group, evaluation of the trigger condition of the mobility configuration is not initiated.

[0118] For example, when a first cell is a candidate PCell, if a mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate PCell and the cell identifier of the candidate PCell corresponds to the UE's current serving primary cell, evaluation of the trigger condition of the mobility configuration is not initiated.

[0119] For example, when a first cell is a candidate PSCell, if a mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate PSCell and the cell identifier of the candidate PSCell corresponds to the UE's current serving primary secondary cell, evaluation of the trigger condition of the mobility configuration is not initiated.

[0120] For example, when a first cell is a candidate SCell, if a mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate SCell and the cell identifier of the candidate SCell corresponds to the UE's current serving secondary cell, evaluation of the trigger condition of the mobility configuration is not initiated.

[0121] In some examples, if any one mobility configuration identifier is the mobility identifier corresponding to the most recent triggered mobility operation, it can be determined that the first cell is the serving cell of the UE and not start evaluating the corresponding trigger condition.

[0122] For example, if any one mobility configuration includes configuration information of a candidate MCG and the mobility configuration identifier of the mobility configuration is the mobility identifier corresponding to the most recently triggered mobility operation, it can be determined that the candidate MCG is the current serving master cell group of the UE, and evaluation of the trigger conditions of the mobility configuration is not started.

[0123] For example, if any mobility configuration includes configuration information of a candidate SCG and the mobility configuration identifier of the mobility configuration is the mobility identifier corresponding to the most recently triggered mobility operation, it can be determined that the candidate SCG is the current serving secondary cell group of the UE, and evaluation of the trigger conditions of the mobility configuration is not initiated.

[0124] For example, if any mobility configuration includes configuration information of a candidate PCell and the mobility configuration identifier of the mobility configuration is the mobility identifier corresponding to the latest triggered mobility operation, it can be determined that the candidate PCell is the current serving master cell group of the UE, and evaluation of the trigger conditions of the mobility configuration is not started.

[0125] For example, if any mobility configuration includes configuration information of a candidate PSCell and the mobility configuration identifier of the mobility configuration is the mobility identifier corresponding to the most recently triggered mobility operation, it can be determined that the candidate PSCell is the current serving primary secondary cell group of the UE, and evaluation of the trigger conditions of the mobility configuration is not initiated.

[0126] For example, if any mobility configuration includes configuration information of a candidate SCell and the mobility configuration identifier of the mobility configuration is the mobility identifier corresponding to the latest triggered mobility operation, it can be determined that the candidate SCell is the current serving secondary cell group of the UE, and evaluation of the trigger conditions of the mobility configuration is not started.

[0127] In some examples, if any one mobility configuration matches the configuration of the current serving cell group / cell, the evaluation of the corresponding trigger condition is not initiated.

[0128] For example, if the configuration information of the candidate MCG included in any one mobility configuration is consistent with the configuration information of the UE's current serving master cell group, evaluation of the trigger condition for that mobility configuration is not initiated.

[0129] For example, if the configuration information of the candidate SCG included in any one mobility configuration matches the configuration information of the UE's current serving secondary cell group, evaluation of the trigger condition for that mobility configuration is not initiated.

[0130] For example, if the configuration information of a candidate PCell included in any one mobility configuration is consistent with the configuration information of the UE's current serving primary cell, evaluation of the trigger condition for that mobility configuration is not initiated.

[0131] For example, if the configuration information of a candidate PSCell included in any one mobility configuration matches the configuration information of the UE's current serving primary secondary cell, evaluation of the trigger condition for that mobility configuration is not initiated.

[0132] For example, if the configuration information of a candidate SCell included in any one mobility configuration matches the configuration information of the UE's current serving secondary cell, evaluation of the trigger condition for that mobility configuration is not initiated.

[0133] In some examples, if the applicable cell corresponding to any one mobility configuration identifier is the current serving cell, evaluation of the corresponding trigger condition is not initiated.

[0134] For example, for each mobility configuration identifier stored in the UE, if the mobility configuration corresponding to the mobility configuration identifier includes configuration information of a candidate MCG, and the cell indicated in the serving cell public configuration included in the configuration information of the candidate MCG is an applicable cell, when the applicable cell is a serving primary cell, evaluation of the trigger condition of the mobility configuration is not started.

[0135] For example, for each mobility configuration identifier stored in the UE, if the mobility configuration corresponding to the mobility configuration identifier includes configuration information of a candidate SCG, and the cell indicated in the serving cell public configuration included in the configuration information of the candidate SCG is an applicable cell, when the applicable cell is a serving primary secondary cell, evaluation of the trigger condition of the mobility configuration is not started.

[0136] In step 5012, in response to the first cell not being the serving cell of the UE, evaluate a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell.

[0137] In some embodiments, if the first cell is not the UE's serving cell, the UE may determine to evaluate a mobility configuration trigger condition for said first cell.

[0138] In some examples, the first cell is a candidate cell group / cell, and for each mobility configuration stored in the UE, if the cell group / cell identifier corresponding to the configuration information of the candidate cell group / cell included in the mobility configuration is not the current serving cell group / cell, start evaluating the corresponding trigger condition.

[0139] In some examples, if the mobility setting identifier of any one mobility setting is not the mobility identifier corresponding to the most recently triggered mobility operation, an evaluation of the trigger condition for that mobility setting is initiated.

[0140] In some examples, if any one mobility configuration does not match the configuration of the current serving cell, an evaluation of the trigger conditions for the mobility configuration is initiated.

[0141] In some examples, if the applicable cell corresponding to any one mobility configuration identifier is not the current serving cell, an evaluation of the corresponding trigger condition is initiated.

[0142] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which is applied to a UE. As shown in FIG. 8, the method may include the following step 601:

[0143] In step 601, based on whether the first cell is the serving cell of the UE, if a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell is met, it is determined whether to perform mobility configuration of the first cell.

[0144] In this embodiment, when the trigger condition for the mobility configuration of the first cell is met, it is determined whether to perform the mobility configuration of the first cell based on whether the first cell is the serving cell of the UE. Thus, compared to performing the mobility configuration of the first cell when the trigger condition for the mobility configuration of the first cell is met regardless of whether the first cell is the serving cell of the UE, it is possible to avoid the interruption and RRC reconfiguration caused by reapplying the configuration of the current serving cell and initiating RACH when the UE meets the trigger condition corresponding to the current serving cell.

[0145] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, if a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell is met based on whether the first cell is a serving cell of the UE, the step of determining whether to perform mobility configuration of the first cell may include at least one of the following steps 6011 to 6012.

[0146] In step 6011, in response to the first cell being the serving cell of the UE, if a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell is met, do not perform mobility configuration of the first cell.

[0147] In step 6012, in response to the first cell not being the serving cell of the UE, if a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell is met, perform mobility configuration of the first cell.

[0148] In some embodiments, if a first cell is a serving cell of a UE and a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell is met, the UE may decide not to perform mobility configuration of the first cell.

[0149] In some embodiments, if a first cell is not a serving cell of a UE and a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell is satisfied, the UE may determine to perform mobility configuration of the first cell. In this embodiment, the UE may not perform mobility configuration of the first cell when the first cell is a serving cell of the UE and a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell is satisfied, and may perform mobility configuration of the first cell when the first cell is not a serving cell of the UE and a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell is satisfied, thus avoiding interruptions and RRC reconfiguration caused by reapplying the configuration of the current serving cell and initiating RACH when the UE satisfies the trigger condition corresponding to the current serving cell.

[0150] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, in the above step 6011, if a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell is met in response to the first cell being the serving cell of the UE, the step of not performing mobility configuration of the first cell may include any one of the following steps 60111 to 60113.

[0151] In step 60111, in response to the trigger condition of the mobility configuration of the first cell being met and the first cell being the serving cell of the UE, the first cell is not a trigger cell.

[0152] Here, the first cell is a candidate cell group / cell, and if the candidate cell group / cell that satisfies the trigger condition is the UE's current serving cell group / cell, the candidate cell group / cell should not be the trigger cell group / cell, i.e., the first cell is not a trigger cell group / cell.

[0153] For example, for each mobility configuration stored in the UE, if the trigger condition corresponding to the mobility configuration is met and the corresponding candidate cell group / cell is the current serving cell group / cell, the candidate cell group / cell shall not be the trigger cell group / cell.

[0154] In step 60112, in response to a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell being met and the first cell being the serving cell of the UE, not selecting the first cell as a selected cell.

[0155] In some examples, when performing a mobility operation, the UE does not select the serving cell group / cell as the selected cell group / cell, that is, if the trigger cell group / cell is a non-serving cell group / cell, the trigger cell group / cell can be the selected cell group / cell.

[0156] In step 60113, in response to the first cell that satisfies the trigger condition being the serving cell of the UE and the first cell being the selected cell, the configuration information included in the mobility configuration of the first cell is not applied.

[0157] In some examples, if the selected cell group / cell is the current serving cell group / cell, the UE does not apply the corresponding cell group / cell configuration information.

[0158] Exemplarily, when performing a mobility operation, if the selected access cell group / cell is the current serving cell group / cell, the UE does not apply the corresponding cell group / cell configuration information.

[0159] Exemplarily, when performing a condition-based mobility operation, if the previous mobility operation is also a condition-based mobility operation and the selected access cell group / cell is the current serving cell group / cell, the UE does not apply the corresponding cell group / cell configuration information.

[0160] Exemplarily, when performing a mobility operation, if the selected access cell group / cell is the current serving cell group / cell and the configuration information of the serving cell of the current UE is the same as the configuration corresponding to this selected cell, the corresponding cell group / cell configuration information is not applied.

[0161] In one embodiment, in step 60112, in response to a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell being satisfied and the first cell being a serving cell of the UE, the step of not selecting the first cell as a selected cell comprises: If the mobility operation currently being performed and the previous mobility operation are both condition-based mobility operations, the method may include a step of not selecting the first cell as a selected cell if a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell is met and the first cell is a serving cell of the UE.

[0162] In some examples, the condition-based mobility operation may be, for example, a conditional handover (CHO), a conditional primary secondary cell change (CPC), or a conditional primary secondary cell addition (CPA).

[0163] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, in the above step 6012, in response to the first cell not being the serving cell of the UE, if a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell is met, the step of deciding to perform mobility configuration of the first cell may include any one of the following steps 60121 to 60123.

[0164] In step 60121, in response to the trigger condition of the mobility configuration of the first cell being met and the first cell not being the serving cell of the UE, the first cell is a trigger cell.

[0165] Here, the first cell is a candidate cell group / cell, and if the candidate cell group / cell that meets the trigger condition is not the current serving cell group / cell of the UE, the candidate cell group / cell may be the trigger cell group / cell, i.e., the first cell is the trigger cell group / cell.

[0166] Exemplarily, for each mobility configuration stored in the UE, if the trigger condition corresponding to the mobility configuration is met and the corresponding candidate cell group / cell is not the current serving cell group / cell, the candidate cell group / cell can be the trigger cell group / cell.

[0167] In step 60122, in response to a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell being met and the first cell not being a serving cell of the UE, select a selected cell from the first cell.

[0168] In some examples, when performing a mobility operation, the UE may select a selected cell group / cell from a trigger cell group / cell of a non-serving cell group / cell.

[0169] Exemplarily, when performing a condition-based mobility operation, if the previous mobility operation is also a condition-based mobility operation, the UE does not select the current serving cell group / cell as the selected cell group / cell.

[0170] Exemplarily, when performing a mobility operation, if a candidate cell group / cell corresponding to the mobility operation configuration stored in the UE is the UE's current serving cell group / cell, and the configuration information of the UE's current serving cell group / cell is the same as the configuration corresponding to the candidate cell group / cell, the UE selects a selected cell group / cell from the trigger cell group / cell of the non-serving cell group / cell.

[0171] For example, if there are multiple trigger cell groups / cells that are not serving cell groups / cells, the trigger cell group / cell of one of the non-serving cells is selected as the selected cell group / cell, and if there is one trigger cell group / cell that is not a serving cell group / cell, this trigger cell group / cell is the selected cell group / cell.

[0172] Exemplarily, if there are multiple selected cell groups / cells, the selected cell group / cell is selected from the trigger cell groups / cells of the non-serving cell groups / cells.

[0173] In step 60123, in response to the first cell that satisfies the trigger condition not being the serving cell of the UE and the first cell being selected as the selected cell, the configuration information included in the mobility configuration of the first cell is applied.

[0174] In some examples, when performing a mobility operation, if the selected access cell group / cell is not the current serving cell group / cell, the corresponding cell group / cell configuration information is applied.

[0175] Exemplarily, when performing a mobility operation, if the selected access cell group / cell is not the current serving cell group / cell, the UE applies the corresponding cell group / cell configuration information.

[0176] Exemplarily, when performing a condition-based mobility operation, if the previous mobility operation was also a condition-based mobility operation, the UE applies the corresponding cell group / cell configuration information when the selected access cell group / cell is not the current serving cell group / cell.

[0177] Exemplarily, when performing a mobility operation, if the selected access cell is not the current serving cell group / cell, or if the configuration information of the current UE's serving cell is different from the configuration corresponding to this selected cell, the corresponding cell group / cell configuration information is applied.

[0178] Exemplarily, when performing a mobility operation, for a selected cell, if this cell is not the serving cell, the stored configuration information of the selected cell (e.g., condRRCReconfig) is applied, and operations related to receiving RRC reconfiguration information are performed.

[0179] In one embodiment, in step 60122, in response to a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell being satisfied and the first cell not being a serving cell of the UE, selecting the first cell as a selected cell comprises: If the currently performed mobility operation and the previous mobility operation are both condition-based mobility operations, the method may include determining to select the first cell as a selected cell if a trigger condition for mobility configuration of the first cell is met and the first cell is not a serving cell of the UE.

[0180] In some examples, the condition-based mobility operation may be, for example, a conditional handover (CHO), a conditional primary secondary cell change (CPC), or a conditional primary secondary cell addition (CPA).

[0181] In one embodiment, the method comprises: determining whether the first cell is a serving cell of the UE based on whether configuration information included in a mobility configuration of the first cell corresponds to a cell identifier of the serving cell; determining whether the first cell is a serving cell of the UE based on whether a configuration identifier of a mobility configuration of the first cell corresponds to a most recently triggered mobility operation; determining whether the first cell is a serving cell of the UE based on whether a mobility configuration of the first cell matches a mobility configuration of the serving cell; and determining whether the first cell is a serving cell of the UE based on whether an applicable cell indicated by the mobility configuration of the first cell is the serving cell.

[0182] In some examples, determining whether the first cell is a serving cell of the UE based on whether configuration information included in a mobility configuration of the first cell corresponds to a cell identifier of the serving cell includes: The method may include determining that the first cell is a serving cell of the UE if configuration information included in the mobility configuration of the first cell corresponds to a cell identifier of the serving cell, or determining that the first cell is not a serving cell of the UE if configuration information included in the mobility configuration of the first cell does not correspond to a cell identifier of the serving cell.

[0183] For example, when a first cell is a candidate MCG, if any one mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate MCG and the configuration information of the candidate MCG corresponds to the cell group identifier of the serving master cell group of the UE, it is determined that the first cell is the serving master cell group of the UE; or if any one mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate MCG and the configuration information of the candidate MCG does not correspond to the cell group identifier of the serving master cell group of the UE, it is determined that the first cell is not the serving master cell group of the UE.

[0184] For example, when a first cell is a candidate SCG, if any one mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate SCG and the configuration information of the candidate SCG corresponds to the cell group identifier of the UE's serving secondary cell group, it is determined that the first cell is the serving secondary cell group of the UE; or if any one mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate SCG and the configuration information of the candidate SCG does not correspond to the cell group identifier of the UE's serving secondary cell group, it is determined that the first cell is not the serving secondary cell group of the UE.

[0185] For example, when a first cell is a candidate PCell, if any one mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate PCell and the configuration information of the candidate PCell corresponds to the cell identifier of the serving primary cell of the UE, it is determined that the first cell is the serving primary cell of the UE; or if any one mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate PCell and the configuration information of the candidate PCell does not correspond to the cell identifier of the serving primary cell of the UE, it is determined that the first cell is not the serving primary cell of the UE.

[0186] For example, when a first cell is a candidate PSCell, if a mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate PSCell and the configuration information of the candidate PSCell corresponds to the cell identifier of the UE's serving primary secondary cell, it is determined that the first cell is the serving primary secondary cell of the UE; or if a mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate PSCell and the configuration information of the candidate PSCell does not correspond to the cell identifier of the UE's serving primary secondary cell, it is determined that the first cell is not the serving primary secondary cell of the UE.

[0187] For example, when a cell is a candidate SCell, if a mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate SCell and the configuration information of the candidate SCell corresponds to the cell identifier of the serving secondary cell of the UE, it is determined that the first cell is the serving secondary cell of the UE; or if a mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate SCell and the configuration information of the candidate SCell does not correspond to the cell identifier of the serving secondary cell of the UE, it is determined that the first cell is not the serving secondary cell of the UE.

[0188] In some examples, determining whether the first cell is a serving cell of the UE based on whether a configuration identifier of a mobility configuration of the first cell corresponds to a most recent triggered mobility operation includes: If the configuration identifier of the mobility configuration of the first cell corresponds to the most recent triggered mobility operation, determine that the first cell is the serving cell of the UE, or if the configuration identifier of the mobility configuration of the first cell does not correspond to the most recent triggered mobility operation, determine that the first cell is not the serving cell of the UE.

[0189] For example, when the first cell is a candidate MCG, if any one mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate MCG and the mobility configuration identifier corresponding to the mobility configuration is the mobility identifier corresponding to the most recently triggered mobility operation, it can be determined that the candidate MCG is the serving master cell group of the UE; or, if any one mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate MCG and the mobility configuration identifier of the mobility configuration is not the mobility identifier corresponding to the most recently triggered mobility operation, it can be determined that the candidate MCG is not the serving master cell group of the UE.

[0190] For example, when the first cell is a candidate SCG, if any one mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate SCG and the mobility configuration identifier of the mobility configuration is the mobility identifier corresponding to the most recently triggered mobility operation, it can be determined that the candidate SCG is the serving secondary cell group of the UE; or, if any one mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate SCG and the mobility configuration identifier of the mobility configuration is not the mobility identifier corresponding to the most recently triggered mobility operation, it can be determined that the candidate SCG is not the serving secondary cell group of the UE.

[0191] For example, when the first cell is a candidate PCell, if any one mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate PCell and the mobility configuration identifier of the mobility configuration is the mobility identifier corresponding to the most recently triggered mobility operation, it can be determined that the candidate PCell is the serving primary cell of the UE; or if any one mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate PCell and the mobility configuration identifier of the mobility configuration is not the mobility identifier corresponding to the most recently triggered mobility operation, it can be determined that the candidate PCell is not the serving primary cell of the UE.

[0192] For example, when a first cell is a candidate PSCell, if a mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate PSCell and the mobility configuration identifier of the mobility configuration is the mobility identifier corresponding to the most recent triggered mobility operation, it can be determined that the candidate PSCell is the serving primary secondary cell of the UE; or if a mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate PSCell and the mobility configuration identifier of the mobility configuration is not the mobility identifier corresponding to the most recent triggered mobility operation, it can be determined that the candidate PSCell is not the serving primary secondary cell of the UE.

[0193] For example, when a first cell is a candidate SCell, if a mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate SCell and the mobility configuration identifier of the mobility configuration is the mobility identifier corresponding to the latest triggered mobility operation, it can be determined that the candidate SCell is a serving secondary cell of the UE; or if a mobility configuration includes configuration information of the candidate SCell and the mobility configuration identifier of the mobility configuration is not the mobility identifier corresponding to the latest triggered mobility operation, it can be determined that the candidate SCell is not a serving secondary cell of the UE.

[0194] In some examples, determining whether the first cell is a serving cell for the UE based on whether a mobility configuration of the first cell matches a mobility configuration of the serving cell includes: The method may include determining that the first cell is a serving cell for the UE if the mobility configuration of the first cell matches the mobility configuration of the serving cell, or determining that the first cell is not a serving cell for the UE if the mobility configuration of the first cell does not match the mobility configuration of the serving cell.

[0195] For example, when a first cell is a candidate MCG, if the mobility setting of the candidate MCG matches the mobility setting of the serving master cell group of the UE, it is determined that the first cell is the serving master cell group of the UE, or if the mobility setting of the candidate MCG does not match the mobility setting of the serving master cell group of the UE, it is determined that the first cell is not the serving master cell group of the UE.

[0196] For example, when a first cell is a candidate SCG, if the mobility setting of the candidate SCG matches the mobility setting of the UE's serving secondary cell group, it is determined that the first cell is the UE's serving secondary cell group; or if the mobility setting of the candidate SCG does not match the mobility setting of the UE's serving secondary cell group, it is determined that the first cell is not the UE's serving secondary cell group.

[0197] For example, when a first cell is a candidate PCell, if the mobility configuration of the candidate PCell matches the mobility configuration of the UE's serving primary cell, it is determined that the first cell is the serving primary cell of the UE, or if the mobility configuration of the candidate PCell does not match the mobility configuration of the UE's serving primary cell, it is determined that the first cell is not the serving primary cell of the UE.

[0198] For example, when a first cell is a candidate PSCell, if the mobility configuration of the candidate PSCell matches the mobility configuration of the UE's serving primary secondary cell, it is determined that the first cell is the serving primary secondary cell of the UE, or if the mobility configuration of the candidate PSCell does not match the mobility configuration of the UE's serving primary secondary cell, it is determined that the first cell is not the serving primary secondary cell of the UE.

[0199] For example, when a first cell is a candidate SCell, if the mobility configuration of the candidate SCell matches the mobility configuration of the serving secondary cell of the UE, it is determined that the first cell is in the serving master cell group of the UE, or if the mobility configuration of the candidate SCell does not match the mobility configuration of the serving secondary cell of the UE, it is determined that the first cell is not the serving secondary cell of the UE.

[0200] In some examples, determining whether the first cell is a serving cell of the UE based on whether an applicable cell indicated by a mobility configuration of the first cell is the serving cell includes: The method includes a step of determining that the first cell is the serving cell of the UE if the applicable cell indicated by the mobility configuration of the first cell is the serving cell, or determining that the first cell is not the serving cell of the UE if the applicable cell indicated by the mobility configuration of the first cell is not the serving cell.

[0201] For example, when a first cell is a candidate MCG or a candidate PCell, and the cell indicated in the serving cell public configuration included in the configuration information of the corresponding mobility configuration of the candidate MCG or candidate PCell is an applicable cell, if the applicable cell is a serving primary cell, it is determined that the first cell is the serving primary cell of the UE, or if the applicable cell is not a serving primary cell, it is determined that the first cell is not the serving primary cell of the UE.

[0202] For example, when a first cell is a candidate SCG or a candidate PSCell, and the cell indicated in the serving cell public configuration included in the configuration information of the mobility configuration corresponding to the candidate SCG or candidate PSCell is an applicable cell, if the applicable cell is a serving primary secondary cell, it is determined that the first cell is a serving primary secondary cell for the UE, or if the applicable cell is not a serving primary secondary cell, it is determined that the first cell is not a serving primary secondary cell for the UE.

[0203] In one embodiment, the method comprises: The method may include storing one or more mobility configurations configured by a network device for the UE, where different mobility configurations correspond to different cells or cell groups.

[0204] In some examples, the network device may be a base station, e.g., the network device may be a gNB, an eNB, etc.

[0205] In some examples, the mobility configuration of the first cell may be stored by the UE as a variable. Illustratively, the variable may be a Var variable, for example, the Var variable may be VarConditionalReconfig.

[0206] Below, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in an illustrative manner in combination with specific application scenarios. Note that the application scenarios here are merely intended to more clearly explain the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, and do not limit the application scenarios of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0207] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, which regulates the evaluation of selective activation execution and the UE actions performed after a UE performs a cell change or after a UE maintains a selective activation configuration for activating a cell group configuration.

[0208] In some embodiments, the mobility configuration corresponding to the current serving cell group / cell is not evaluated, or the mobility configuration corresponding to a non-serving cell group / cell is evaluated.

[0209] In some embodiments, if the mobility configuration that satisfies the trigger condition is the mobility configuration that corresponds to the current serving cell group / cell, the corresponding cell group / cell configuration information in this mobility configuration may not be applied, or for a cell group / cell that satisfies the trigger condition, if this cell group / cell is not the current serving cell group / cell, the configuration information of this cell group / cell in this mobility configuration may be applied.

[0210] In some embodiments, measurements corresponding to trigger conditions in the mobility configuration information corresponding to the current serving cell group / cell are not initiated.

[0211] In some examples, if a measurement identifier corresponds only to the mobility configuration of the current serving cell, the UE will not initiate measurements corresponding to that measurement identifier.

[0212] In some examples, if all measurement identifiers associated with a measurement object are measurement identifiers corresponding to the mobility configuration of the current serving cell, the UE will not measure the measurement object.

[0213] In some examples, the cell group may be a master cell group (MCG) or a secondary cell group (SCG), and the cell may be one of a primary cell (PCell), a primary secondary cell (PSCell), or a secondary cell (SCell).

[0214] In some examples, the mobility configuration comprises: A configuration identifier (e.g., condReconfigId), a trigger condition (e.g., condExecutionCond and / or condExecutionCondSCG), which may be represented by one or more measurement identifiers; Candidate cell group / cell configuration information that can be displayed by RRCReconfiguration (e.g., condRRCReconfig), and indication information indicating that the mobility configuration is to be used for a first mobility operation (e.g., selective activation of a cell group).

[0215] In some examples, the UE receives one or more mobility configurations sent from a network device and stores the received mobility configurations in a Var variable, for example, the Var variable is VarConditionalReconfig.

[0216] In some embodiments, not evaluating the mobility configuration corresponding to the serving cell group / cell or evaluating the mobility configuration corresponding to the non-serving cell group / cell against the mobility configuration stored in the UE may include one of the following manners:

[0217] Method 1: If a candidate cell group / cell corresponding to any one mobility configuration is the current serving cell group / cell, do not start the corresponding evaluation, or if a candidate cell group / cell corresponding to any one mobility configuration is not the current serving cell group / cell, start the corresponding evaluation.

[0218] Exemplarily, for each mobility configuration identifier stored in the UE, if the cell group / cell identifier corresponding to the configuration information of the candidate cell group / cell included in the corresponding mobility configuration is the current serving cell group / cell, the corresponding evaluation process is not initiated; or, for each mobility configuration identifier stored in the UE, if the cell group / cell identifier corresponding to the configuration information of the candidate cell group / cell included in the corresponding mobility configuration is not the current serving cell group / cell, the corresponding evaluation is initiated.

[0219] Method 2: If any one mobility configuration identifier is the mobility identifier corresponding to the most recently triggered mobility operation, do not start the corresponding evaluation, or if any one mobility configuration identifier is not the mobility identifier corresponding to the most recently triggered mobility operation, start the corresponding evaluation.

[0220] Illustratively, for each mobility configuration identifier stored in the UE, if the corresponding mobility configuration is the mobility configuration identifier corresponding to the most recent triggered mobility operation, the corresponding evaluation process is not initiated, or, for each mobility configuration identifier stored in the UE, if the corresponding mobility configuration is the mobility configuration corresponding to the most recent triggered mobility operation, the corresponding evaluation is initiated for the configuration identifier corresponding to this mobility configuration.

[0221] Method 3: If any one of the mobility settings matches the current serving cell group or cell configuration, do not initiate the corresponding evaluation, or if any one of the mobility settings does not match the current serving cell group or cell configuration, initiate the corresponding evaluation.

[0222] Exemplarily, for each mobility configuration identifier stored in the UE, if the candidate cell group / cell configuration information included in the corresponding mobility configuration is currently applied configuration information, the corresponding evaluation process is not initiated, or, for each mobility configuration identifier stored in the UE, if the corresponding candidate cell group / cell configuration information in the corresponding mobility configuration is not currently applied configuration information, the corresponding evaluation is initiated.

[0223] Method 4: If an applicable cell corresponding to any one mobility configuration identifier is the current serving cell, do not start the corresponding evaluation, or if an applicable cell corresponding to any one mobility configuration identifier is not the current serving cell, start the corresponding evaluation.

[0224] For example, for each mobility configuration identifier stored in the UE, if the cell indicated in the serving cell public configuration included in the candidate cell group / cell configuration information included in the corresponding mobility configuration is an applicable cell, when the applicable cell is the serving cell, the evaluation process is not performed, or when the applicable cell is not the current serving cell, a subsequent evaluation process is performed to evaluate whether the trigger condition in this mobility configuration is met.

[0225] In some embodiments, if the mobility configuration corresponding to the candidate cell group / cell that satisfies the trigger condition is the mobility configuration corresponding to the current serving cell group / cell, not applying the configuration information of the corresponding cell group / cell in this mobility configuration; or, for the cell group / cell that satisfies the trigger condition, if this cell group / cell is not the current serving cell group / cell, applying the configuration information of the cell group / cell in this mobility configuration may include at least one of the following manners:

[0226] Method 1: If the candidate cell group / cell that meets the trigger condition is the current serving cell group / cell, it is not the trigger cell group / cell, or if the candidate cell group / cell that meets the trigger condition is not the current serving cell group / cell, it is the trigger cell group / cell.

[0227] Exemplarily, for each mobility configuration identifier stored in the UE, if the corresponding trigger condition is met and the corresponding candidate cell group / cell is not the current serving cell group / cell, then the candidate cell group / cell is a trigger cell group / cell; otherwise, for each mobility configuration identifier stored in the UE, if the corresponding trigger condition is met but the corresponding candidate cell group or cell is the current serving cell group / cell, then the candidate cell group / cell is not a trigger cell group / cell.

[0228] Method 2: When performing a mobility operation, the UE selects a selected cell group / cell from the trigger cell group / cell of a non-serving cell group / cell, or the UE does not select the serving cell group / cell as the selected cell group / cell.

[0229] For example, when performing a mobility operation, the UE selects a selected cell group / cell from the trigger cell group / cell of a non-serving cell group / cell, or the UE does not select the serving cell group / cell as the selected cell group / cell.

[0230] For example, when performing a condition-based mobility operation, if the previous mobility operation was also a condition-based mobility operation, the UE selects a selected cell group / cell from the trigger cell group / cell of a non-serving cell group / cell, or the UE does not select the serving cell group / cell as the selected cell group / cell.

[0231] For example, when performing a mobility operation, if the candidate cell corresponding to the mobility operation configuration stored in the UE is this serving cell group / cell, and the serving cell group / cell configuration information of the current UE is the same as the configuration corresponding to this candidate cell, the UE selects a selected cell group / cell from the trigger cell group / cell of the non-serving cell group / cell, or the UE does not select the serving cell group / cell as the selected cell group or cell.

[0232] Illustratively, if there are multiple trigger cells that are not serving cells, one non-serving trigger cell is selected as the selected cell, and if there is one trigger cell that is not the serving cell, this trigger cell is the selected cell.

[0233] Illustratively, if there are multiple selected cells, select a selected cell from the trigger cell of the non-serving cell group or cell, otherwise, if the trigger cell is a non-serving cell, this trigger cell is the selected cell.

[0234] Method 3: When performing a mobility operation, if the selected access cell group / cell is the current serving cell group / cell, the UE does not apply the corresponding cell group / cell configuration information, or if the selected access cell group / cell is not the current serving cell group / cell, the UE applies the corresponding cell group / cell configuration information.

[0235] For example, when performing a mobility operation, if the selected access cell group / cell is the current serving cell group / cell, the UE does not apply the corresponding cell group / cell configuration information, or if the selected access cell group / cell is not the current serving cell group / cell, the UE applies the corresponding cell group / cell configuration information.

[0236] For example, when performing a condition-based mobility operation, if the previous mobility operation was also a condition-based mobility operation, if the selected access cell group / cell is the current serving cell group / cell, the UE does not apply the corresponding cell group / cell configuration information, or if the selected access cell group / cell is not the current serving cell group / cell, the UE applies the corresponding cell group / cell configuration information.

[0237] For example, when performing a mobility operation, if the selected access cell group / cell is the current serving cell group / cell and the configuration information of the serving cell group / cell of the current UE is the same as the configuration corresponding to the selected cell group / cell, the corresponding cell group / cell configuration information is not applied; or if the selected access cell group / cell is not the current serving cell group / cell or the configuration information of the serving cell group / cell of the current UE is different from the configuration corresponding to the selected cell group / cell, the corresponding cell group / cell configuration information is applied.

[0238] Exemplarily, when performing a mobility operation, for a selected cell, if this cell is not the serving cell, the stored configuration information of the selected cell (e.g., condRRCReconfig) is applied to perform actions related to receiving RRC reconfiguration information.

[0239] In some embodiments, not initiating the corresponding measurement of the trigger condition in the mobility configuration information corresponding to this serving cell may include one of the following manners:

[0240] Method 1: If a certain measurement identifier only corresponds to the mobility configuration of the current serving cell, the UE does not initiate the measurement corresponding to this measurement identifier.

[0241] Illustratively, for each measurement identifier in the measurement configuration variables stored by the UE, if the reporting type is a condition trigger configuration and the cell group identifier (or cell identifier PCI) indicated by the cell group configuration (or serving cell configuration) included in the RRC reconfiguration corresponding to the associated cell group configuration is not the current serving cell group / cell, the corresponding measurement result is obtained.

[0242] Method 2: If all measurement identifiers associated with a measurement object correspond to the mobility configuration of the current serving cell, and this measurement object is not a measurement object of the serving cell, the UE will not measure this measurement object.
