Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] cross reference This application claims priority to a Chinese patent application filed on January 8, 2021, bearing application number 202110024367.7 and entitled "UE capability information processing method, device, equipment and storage medium," the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of communications, and in particular to a UE capability information processing method, device, apparatus, and storage medium. [Background technology]

[0003] New Radio (NR) introduces secondary cell group (SCG) deactivation, where SCG deactivation is equivalent to SCG dormant state, SCG suspended, primary secondary cell (PSCell) / SCG primary cell suspended or dormant state, or PSCell deactivation state, etc., and is intended for infrequent large data streams. When there is no relatively large data package transmission or no data transmission on the SCG side, the SCG is suspended, and the terminal / user equipment (UE) and network side equipment retain the SCG context but stop some operations, for example, the UE stops listening to the SCG side's physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), saving UE power consumption. When there is a relatively large data stream interaction or data transmission on the SCG side, the UE's SCG is quickly activated to transmit data.

[0004] However, in the related art, it is still unclear whether the UE supports the SCG deactivation state and the UE capability related to the SCG deactivation state.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0053] To improve the data transmission rate, the network can configure an SCG for the UE to perform load balancing and improve the data transmission rate of the UE. After the network configures an SCG for the UE, the UE connects to the SN in the SCG primary cell, i.e., the PSCell. The network configures and transmits bearers in the SCG for the UE. The UE simultaneously maintains configuration information for the primary cell group (MCG: Master Cell Group) and the SCG.

[0054] The NR R17 project is expected to support SCG deactivation, suspension, or dormant state, or PSCell deactivation, suspension, or dormant state, which is intended for infrequent large data streams. When there is no relatively large data package transmission or no data transmission on the SCG side, the SCG is suspended, and the UE and network side preserve the SCG context but stop some operations, for example, the UE stops listening to the PDCCH on the SCG side, the UE does not listen to the SCG channel, and stops data transmission on the SCG side, thereby saving UE power consumption. When there is a relatively large data stream interaction or data transmission on the SCG side, the UE's SCG is quickly activated to transmit data.

[0055] When the SCG is in a deactivated state, the PSCell is in a deactivated state, and at least one secondary cell (SCell) should be in a deactivated state.

[0056] Wireless communication depends on accurate and efficient coordination and interoperability between a UE and a base station, where UE capabilities are an important part of the coordination between the base station and the UE. UE capabilities include security capabilities, positioning capabilities, measurement capabilities, physical channel capabilities, transmission channel capabilities, etc. A base station can perform accurate scheduling for a UE only after knowing the UE capabilities. If a UE has the capability to support a certain function, the base station can configure the UE with that function; if the UE does not have the capability to support a certain function, the base station cannot configure the UE with that function. In addition, since UEs differ in manufacturer and specification and have different capabilities, after a connection is established by Radio Resource Control (RRC), the UE should exchange its UE capability information with the network so that the network can configure it according to the UE's capability parameters.

[0057] The relevant configuration and operation on the network side should be based on the corresponding UE capabilities, otherwise problems will arise. The R17 multi-connectivity considerations are expected to introduce an SCG inactivation state, which is expected to suspend the SCG to save power consumption when there is no data transmission on the SCG side, and quickly activate the SCG when necessary to perform normal data transmission. However, the UE capabilities for the SCG inactivation state are still unclear. Therefore, the UE capabilities for the SCG inactivation state in multi-connectivity scenarios should be considered, and the network should be assisted in configuring SCG inactivation in multi-connectivity scenarios.

[0058] In order to clarify the purpose, technical means and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in the present disclosure without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0059] The meaning of "related" in this disclosure may also be understood as "related to," both of which mean that something is associated with another.

[0060] FIG. 1 is a first flow diagram of a UE capability information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a UE capability information processing method, the execution body of which may be a terminal, for example, a mobile phone, etc., and the method includes: Step 101: reporting first capability information to a network side device, where the first capability information is UE capability information related to an SCG deactivation state; Step 102: receiving first configuration information sent by a network side device, the first configuration information being for instructing the UE to perform configuration related to an SCG deactivation state; and step 103 of performing settings related to the SCG deactivation state.

[0061] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, before reporting the first capability information to the network side device: The method further includes obtaining a capability request message sent by a network side device, where the capability request message includes first indication information for instructing the UE to report first capability information.

[0062] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE actively reports its capability regarding the SCG deactivation state to the network side equipment.

[0063] In step 1, the UE reports the UE capability regarding the SCG deactivation state mentioned in the above embodiment to the core network in the case of initial registration or registration area update (TAU).

[0064] In step 2, the core network stores the capability regarding the SCG deactivation state reported by the UE in the corresponding UE context.

[0065] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, if the base station side does not store the capability for SCG deactivation state, the base station obtains the UE capability from the core network side.

[0066] In step 1, the base station sends an NG interface message to the core network, bearing an instruction requesting UE capability for SCG deactivation state.

[0067] In step 2, the core network inquires from the UE context stored in it whether the UE capability for SCG deactivation state is stored.

[0068] In step 3a, if the core network queries it that the UE capability for SCG deactivation state is stored, the core network bears the requested UE capability for SCG deactivation state in a response message to the base station.

[0069] In step 3b, if the core network does not store the UE capabilities for the SCG deactivated state, the core network bears an indication in the response message to the base station indicating that the UE capabilities for the SCG deactivated state are not stored.

[0070] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, if the core network and base station do not store the UE capability for the SCG deactivation state, the UE will negotiate the capability with the network.

[0071] In step 1, the base station sends a capability request message to the UE, requesting the UE to report its UE capability regarding its SCG deactivation state.

[0072] In step 2, when the UE receives the UE capability request message sent by the base station, the UE encapsulates it into a corresponding MR-DC capability (UE-MRDC-Capability), NR capability (UE-NR-Capability), and / or E-UTRA capability (UE-E-UTRA-Capability) based on the UE capability level for the SCG deactivation state requested by the base station, i.e., the Multi-Radio Dual Connectivity (MR-DC) level and / or the Master Base Station / Master Node (MN) level and / or the Secondary Base Station / Secondary Node (SN) level, and reports it to the base station.

[0073] In step 3, after receiving the UE capability regarding the SCG deactivation state reported by the UE, the base station stores the UE capability in a UE context corresponding to the base station side, and optionally, the base station transmits the UE capability to the core network via an NG interface message to store it in a UE context corresponding to the core network side.

[0074] In step 4, if the UE capability for the SCG deactivation state is received, the master base station / master node (MN) transmits the corresponding MR-DC level capability and SN level capability to the secondary base station / secondary node (SN) side through an interface message, where: In the case of EUTRA-NR dual connectivity ((NG)EN-DC: (NG-RAN) E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity) or NR-NR connectivity (NR-DC: NR-NR Dual Connectivity), the UE capabilities included in UE-MRDC-Capability and UE-NR-Capability are transmitted to the SN side, In the case of NR-EUTRA dual connectivity (NE-DC: NR-E-UTRA Dual Connectivity), the UE capabilities included in UE-MRDC-Capability and UE-EUTRA-Capability are transmitted to the MN side.

[0075] In step 5, if the network needs to perform corresponding operations, the network queries the UE capabilities stored in the UE context, and performs corresponding configurations and operations according to the UE capabilities.

[0076] For example, if the first capability information indicates that the capability related to the SCG deactivation state of UE1 supports SCG state conversion, the network can instruct UE1 to perform SCG state conversion by transmitting the first configuration information. If the first capability information indicates that the capability related to the SCG deactivation state of UE1 does not support SCG state conversion, the network does not instruct UE1 to perform SCG state conversion by transmitting the first configuration information.

[0077] For example, if the first capability information indicates that the capability associated with the SCG deactivation state of UE1 supports the full-duplex mode, the network can instruct UE1 to perform data transmission in the full-duplex mode by transmitting the first configuration information.If the first capability information indicates that the capability associated with the SCG deactivation state of UE1 supports the half-duplex mode, the network can instruct UE1 to perform data transmission in the half-duplex mode by transmitting the first configuration information.

[0078] The corresponding configuration and operation methods based on other capabilities of the UE are similar to the above examples, and therefore will not be described further.

[0079] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first capability information comprises: Whether the UE supports capabilities related to the SCG deactivation state; Whether the UE supports capabilities related to SCG state transition; Whether the UE supports capabilities related to performing Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) measurements and reporting when the SCG is in a deactivated state; and Whether the UE supports capabilities related to performing radio resource management (RRM) measurements and reporting when the SCG is in a deactivated state; and Whether the UE supports capabilities related to performing radio link monitoring (RLM) measurements and radio link failure (RLF) reporting when the SCG is in a deactivated state; Whether the UE supports capabilities related to performing beam management when the SCG is in a deactivated state; Whether the UE supports capabilities related to performing Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) transmission when the SCG is in a deactivated state; and Whether the UE supports capabilities related to maintaining an uplink timing advance amount when the SCG is in a deactivated state; and The UE supports the ability to directly set the SCG to the deactivated state; and whether the UE supports the ability to perform reconfiguration when the SCG is in a deactivated state.

[0080] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first capability information comprises: The frequency bands supported by the UE; A frequency band group supported by the UE; The duplex modes supported by the UE; a transmission frequency range supported by the UE; and the radio access network types supported by the UE; the multi-connection network architecture type supported by the UE; the radio access network type of the MN supported by the UE; The UE is distinguished by at least one of the following: the radio access network type of the SN supported by the UE;

[0081] Specifically, the capabilities related to the SCG deactivation state mentioned in the above embodiments are configured per-UE.

[0082] Optionally, the UE capabilities for the above SCG deactivation states can be differentiated for different frequency bands, and / or different frequency band combinations, and / or different duplex modes (TDD, FDD), and / or different transmission frequency ranges (FR1, FR2), and / or different radio access network types (NR, EUTRA, and new radio access network types that may be introduced in the future), and / or different multi-connection network architecture types (EN-DC, NEEN-DC, NE-DC, NR-DC, and new radio access network types that may be introduced in the future), and / or radio access network types of MNs (MNs are NR, EUTRA, and new radio access network types that may be introduced in the future), and / or radio access network types of SNs (SNs are NR, EUTRA, and new radio access network types that may be introduced in the future).

[0083] Alternatively, the UE capabilities for the above SCG deactivation states can be set at the MR-DC level, and / or the MN level, and / or the SN level, where the MR-DC level capabilities are included in the UE-MRDC-Capability, and / or the UE-NR-Capability, and / or the UE-E-UTRA-Capability.

[0084] That is, different UE capabilities can be distinguished by different frequency bands, and if two UEs support different frequency bands, the capabilities related to the SCG deactivation state of the two UEs are not the same. For example, if UE1 supports frequency band A, then the capability related to the SCG deactivation state of UE1 is to support SCG state conversion, and if UE2 supports frequency band B, then the capability related to the SCG deactivation state of UE2 is to not support SCG state conversion.

[0085] Furthermore, different duplex modes can distinguish different UE capabilities, and if two UEs support different duplex modes, the capabilities related to the SCG deactivation state of the two UEs are not the same. For example, if UE1 supports full duplex mode, the capability related to the SCG deactivation state of UE1 is to support performing CSI-RS measurement and reporting when the SCG is deactivated, and if UE2 supports half duplex mode, the capability related to the SCG deactivation state of UE2 is to not support performing CSI-RS measurement and reporting when the SCG is deactivated.

[0086] Furthermore, different UE capabilities can be distinguished by different duplex modes and radio access network types, and if two UEs support different duplex modes and radio access network types, the capabilities related to the SCG deactivation state of the two UEs are also not identical. For example, if UE1 supports full-duplex mode and supports NR, the capability related to the SCG inactivation state of UE1 is to support performing CSI-RS measurement and reporting when the SCG is inactivated; if UE2 supports half-duplex mode and supports NR, the capability related to the SCG inactivation state of UE2 is to not support performing CSI-RS measurement and reporting when the SCG is inactivated; if UE3 supports full-duplex mode and supports EUTRA, the capability related to the SCG inactivation state of UE3 is to support performing SRS transmission when the SCG is inactivated; and if UE4 supports half-duplex mode and supports EUTRA, the capability related to the SCG inactivation state of UE4 is to not support performing SRS transmission when the SCG is inactivated.

[0087] The methods for distinguishing UE capabilities based on other conditions are similar to the examples above, so they will not be described further.

[0167] Specifically, the specific steps of the configuration related to setting the SCG to the deactivated state are as follows:

[0168] In step 1, when the network tries to set the SCG to a deactivated state, if the corresponding UE capability is stored on the network side, the network directly inquires whether the UE supports the capability for the SCG deactivated state; if the corresponding UE capability is not stored on the network side, the network requests the core network to obtain the UE capability for the SCG deactivated state stored in the core network; if the corresponding UE capability is not stored on either the network side or the core network, the network requests the UE to report its UE capability for its SCG deactivated state, and the report includes at least whether the UE supports the UE capability for the SCG deactivated state.

[0169] In step 2, if the UE supports the SCG deactivation state, the network side can send an instruction to the UE to set the SCG to the deactivation state.

[0176] and / or In step 2g, if the UE supports the ability to set the SCG in a deactivated state when the MN is in EUTRA, the network may send an instruction to the UE to set the SCG in a deactivated state when the MN is in EUTRA.

[0177] and / or In step 2h, if the UE supports the ability to set the SCG inactive state when the MN is an NR, the network may send an instruction to the UE to set the SCG in the deactivated state when the MN is an NR.

[0181] In step 3, after receiving the command to set the SCG to a deactivated state, the UE sets the SCG to a deactivated state.

[0182] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the settings related to setting the state transition of the SCG described above include: setting the state of the SCG to transform from an activated state to a deactivated state; and setting the state of the SCG to convert from a deactivated state to an activated state; Here, the first setting information is a control element MAC CE for media access control; Downlink control information DCI, and radio resource control (RRC).

[0183] Specifically, the embodiment of the present disclosure performs configuration related to SCG state transition in the manner of MAC CE, and / or DCI, and / or RRC signaling. Specific steps are as follows:

[0184] In step 1, the network side configures an SCG for the UE, and the SCG is in an activated state. When the network wants to configure the SCG to be converted to a deactivated state, if the network side stores a corresponding UE capability, the network directly inquires about the UE's supported capability for performing SCG state conversion; if the network side does not store a corresponding UE capability, the network requests the core network to obtain the UE capability for the SCG deactivated state stored in the core network; if neither the network side nor the core network stores a corresponding UE capability, the network requests the UE to report its UE capability for the SCG deactivated state, and the report includes at least whether the UE supports the UE capability for SCG state conversion.

[0185] In step 2, if the UE supports SCG state transition through MAC CE, and / or DCI, and / or RRC signaling, the network side performs corresponding operations according to the corresponding UE capabilities; (1) If the UE supports SCG state conversion using the MAC CE method, the network generates a MAC CE command to convert one SCG from an activated state to a deactivated state and sends it to the UE. (2) If the UE supports SCG state conversion using the DCI method, the network generates a DCI command to convert one SCG from an activated state to a deactivated state and sends it to the UE. (3) If the UE supports SCG state conversion by RRC command, the network generates an RRC command to convert one SCG from an activated state to a deactivated state and sends it to the UE.

[0186] In step 3, when the UE receives a MAC CE command and / or a DCI command and / or RRC signaling sent from the network side, the UE converts the SCG in an activated state to a deactivated state.

[0187] In step 4, when the UE receives a MAC CE command and / or a DCI command and / or RRC signaling sent from the network side, the UE converts the SCG in a deactivated state into an activated state.

[0188] In addition, the network side configures an SCG in the UE, and the SCG is in a deactivated state. When the network decides to convert an SCG to an activated state, the situation in which the network generates and sends a MAC CE command, a DCI command, and / or an RRC signaling to the UE to convert an SCG from an activated state to a deactivated state is similar to the situation described above, and therefore, no further description is provided here.

[0189] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the settings related to setting the state transition of the SCG described above include: Starting a first timer and setting it to transition the state of the SCG from a deactivated state to an activated state; or starting a second timer and setting it to transition the state of the SCG from an activated state to a deactivated state;

[0190] Specifically, the embodiment of the present disclosure uses a timer to configure the SCG state transition. The specific steps are as follows:

[0191] In step 1, the network side configures an SCG for the UE, and the SCG is in a deactivated state. When the network wants to configure the SCG to convert to an activated state, if the network side stores corresponding UE capabilities, the network directly inquires whether the UE supports capabilities related to the SCG activated state; if the network side does not store corresponding UE capabilities, the network requests the core network to obtain UE capabilities related to the SCG deactivated state stored in the core network; if neither the network side nor the core network stores corresponding UE capabilities, the network requests the UE to report its UE capabilities related to its SCG deactivated state, and the report includes at least whether the UE supports UE capabilities related to SCG state conversion.

[0192] In step 2, if the UE supports SCG state transition in the manner of a timer, the network configures a state transition timer T1 in the UE and sends corresponding configuration information to the UE.

[0193] In step 3a, after the UE receives the state transition timer setting information, it turns on the timer T1 to transition the SCG to the activated state.

[0194] In step 3b, when there is no data transmission in the SCG, the UE turns off timer T1 to transition the SCG to a deactivated state.

[0195] In step 3c, when timer T1 expires, the UE converts the SCG to a deactivated state.

[0196] In step 3d, optionally, when there is data transmission on the SCG side and just before the timer expires, the UE restarts the timer to keep the SCG in the activated state.

[0197] In addition, the network side configures the SCG in the UE, and the SCG is in an activated state. When the network decides to convert the SCG to a deactivated state, it can set a timer, and the timer being on corresponds to the case of the SCG being in a deactivated state, which is similar to the situation described above, and therefore will not be described further here.

[0198] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the performing of the configuration related to CSI-RS measurement and reporting when the SCG is in a deactivated state may include: When the SCG is in a deactivated state, the MN side periodically reports the CSI-RS measurement results; When the SCG is in a deactivated state, the MN side semi-persistently reports the CSI-RS measurement results; aperiodically reporting CSI-RS measurement results by the MN side when the SCG is in a deactivated state; and reporting CSI-RS measurement results over pre-configured SCG resources when the SCG is in a deactivated state.

[0199] Specifically, the UE performs configuration related to CSI-RS measurement and reporting when in an SCG deactivated state. Specific steps are as follows:

[0200] In step 1, when the network attempts to configure the UE to perform CSI-RS measurement and reporting when the UE is in an SCG deactivated state, if the corresponding UE capability is stored on the network side, the network directly inquires whether the UE supports the capability for performing CSI-RS measurement and reporting when the UE is in an SCG deactivated state; if the corresponding UE capability is not stored on the network side, the network requests the core network to obtain the UE capability for the SCG deactivated state stored in the core network; if the corresponding UE capability is not stored on either the network side or the core network, the network requests the UE to report its UE capability for its SCG deactivated state, and the report includes at least whether the UE supports the UE capability for performing CSI-RS measurement and reporting when the UE is in an SCG deactivated state.

[0201] In step 2, if the UE supports CSI-RS measurement reporting using pre-configured resources on the SCG side when the UE is in an SCG deactivated state, the network side pre-configures SCG-side resources for measurement and reporting in the UE when the UE is in an SCG deactivated state.

[0202] Optionally, the network side sends the reserved SCG resources to the UE before converting the SCG into a deactivated state, and then converts the SCG into a deactivated state to instruct the UE to maintain the previously pre-configured SCG resources; Or, Optionally, when the network side converts the SCG to a deactivated state, it sends a pre-configured SCG resource in an SCG state conversion command; Or, Alternatively, the network side first converts the SCG into a deactivated state, and then sends the pre-configured SCG resources to the UE.

[0203] In step 2a, if the UE supports periodic and / or semi-persistent and / or aperiodic CSI-RS measurement reporting by the MN side when the UE is in an SCG deactivated state, and / or supports CSI-RS measurement reporting by a pre-configured resource on the SCG side; Optionally, the network side sends a corresponding CSI-RS measurement configuration to the UE before converting the SCG into a deactivated state, and then converts the SCG into a deactivated state to instruct the UE to maintain the previous CSI-RS measurement configuration; Or, Optionally, when the network side converts the SCG to a deactivated state, it sends a corresponding CSI-RS measurement configuration in the SCG state conversion command; Or, Alternatively, the network side may first convert the SCG into a deactivated state and then send the corresponding CSI-RS measurement configuration to the UE.

[0204] It should be noted that the CSI-RS measurement configuration here may be periodic and / or aperiodic and / or semi-persistent configuration, and may also include MN-side and / or SN-side configuration at the same time, depending on the corresponding UE capabilities.

[0205] In step 3, after entering the SCG deactivated state, the UE continues to perform CSI-RS measurements and performs CSI-RS measurement reporting periodically, aperiodically, or semi-persistently on the MN side, and / or performs CSI-RS measurement reporting using pre-configured SCG-side resources (the method of CSI-RS measurement reporting depends on the UE capabilities and network configuration).

[0206] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the performing of the configuration related to RRM measurement and reporting when the SCG is in a deactivated state may include: performing RRM measurements and reporting when the SCG is in a deactivated state; performing relaxed RRM measurements when the SCG is in a deactivated state; When the SCG is in a deactivated state, performing RRM measurements based on the measurement configuration set on the SCG side; and performing relaxed RRM measurements based on measurement settings set on the SCG side when the SCG is in a deactivated state.

[0207] Specifically, the UE performs configuration related to RRM measurement and reporting when the UE is in an SCG deactivated state. The specific steps are as follows:

[0208] In step 1, when the network attempts to configure the UE to perform RRM measurements and reports when the UE is in an SCG deactivated state, if the corresponding UE capability is stored on the network side, the network directly inquires whether the UE supports the capability for performing RRM measurements and reports when the UE is in an SCG deactivated state; if the corresponding UE capability is not stored on the network side, the network requests the core network to obtain the UE capability for the SCG deactivated state stored in the core network; if the corresponding UE capability is not stored on either the network side or the core network, the network requests the UE to report its UE capability for its SCG deactivated state, and the report includes at least whether the UE supports the UE capability for performing RRM measurements and reports when the UE is in an SCG deactivated state.

[0209] In step 2a, if the UE supports RRM measurement and reporting in SCG deactivated state and / or relaxed RRM measurements, Optionally, the network side sends a corresponding RRM measurement configuration to the UE before converting the SCG into a deactivated state, and then converts the SCG into a deactivated state to instruct the UE to maintain the previous RRM measurement configuration; Or, Optionally, when the network side converts the SCG into a deactivated state, it sends a corresponding RRM measurement configuration in the SCG state conversion command; Or, Alternatively, the network side may first convert the UE to a deactivated state and then send the corresponding RRM measurement configuration to the UE.

[0210] The RRM configuration here includes the configuration by the MCG side and / or the configuration by the SCG side, and may also be the normal RRM measurement configuration and / or the relaxed RRM measurement configuration, which specifically depends on the corresponding UE capabilities.

[0211] In step 2b, when the UE is in an SCG deactivated state, the UE performs RRM measurements based on a measurement configuration pre-configured on the SCG side, and / or performs relaxed RRM measurements based on a measurement configuration pre-configured on the SCG side; Optionally, the network side sends a corresponding RRM measurement configuration to the UE before converting the SCG into a deactivated state, and then converts the SCG into a deactivated state to instruct the UE to maintain the previous RRM measurement configuration; Or, Optionally, when the network side converts the SCG into a deactivated state, it sends a corresponding RRM measurement configuration in the SCG state conversion command; Or, Alternatively, the network side may first convert the SCG into a deactivated state, and then send the corresponding RRM measurement configuration to the UE.

[0212] The RRM settings here are settings configured on the SCG side, and may be normal RRM measurement settings and / or relaxed RRM measurement settings, and specifically depend on the corresponding UE capabilities.

[0213] In step 3, the UE enters the SCG deactivated state and continues to perform RRM measurements and reporting based on the RRM configuration signaled by the network side, or performs relaxed RRM measurements and reporting (which operation depends on the UE capabilities and network deployment).

[0215] Specifically, the UE performs configuration related to RLM measurement and RLF reporting when the UE is in an SCG deactivated state. Specific steps are as follows:

[0216] In step 1, when the network attempts to configure the UE to perform RLM measurements and / or RLF reporting when the UE is in an SCG deactivated state, if the corresponding UE capability is stored on the network side, the network directly inquires whether the UE supports the capability for performing RLM measurements and RLF reporting when the UE is in an SCG deactivated state; if the corresponding UE capability is not stored on the network side, the network requests the core network to obtain the UE capability for the SCG deactivated state stored in the core network; if the corresponding UE capability is not stored on either the network side or the core network, the network requests the UE to report its UE capability for its SCG deactivated state, and the report includes at least whether the UE supports the capability for performing RLM measurements and RLF reporting when the UE is in an SCG deactivated state.

[0217] In step 2, if the UE supports RLM measurements and / or RLF reporting when in SCG deactivated state: Optionally, the network side sends an RLM measurement configuration and / or an RLF reporting configuration to the UE before converting the SCG to a deactivated state, and then converts the SCG to a deactivated state and instructs the UE to maintain the previous RLM measurement configuration; Or, Optionally, when the network side converts the SCG to a deactivated state, it sends an RLM measurement configuration and / or an RLF reporting configuration in the SCG state conversion command; Or, Alternatively, the network side may first convert the SCG to a deactivated state, and then send configurations for RLM measurements and / or RLF reporting to the UE.

[0218] Note that the configuration here may be an RLM measurement configuration and / or an RLF reporting configuration, which specifically depends on the corresponding UE capabilities.

[0219] In step 3, the UE enters the SCG deactivated state and continues to perform RLM measurements and / or RLF reporting (which operations depend on the UE capabilities and network deployment).

[0239] Specifically, the SCG is directly set to a deactivated state when an SCG is added (and / or an SCG is reconfigured, and / or a conditional PSCell is added, and / or a PSCell change, and / or a conditional PSCell change, and / or an RRC recovery, and / or a PSCell is synchronously reconfigured). Specific steps are as follows:

[0240] In step 1, when the network attempts to set up an SCG addition operation, if the network side has stored corresponding UE capabilities, the network directly inquires whether the UE supports the capability of directly setting the SCG to a deactivated state when adding an SCG; if the network side has not stored corresponding UE capabilities, the network requests the core network to obtain the UE capabilities related to the SCG deactivated state stored in the core network; if neither the network side nor the core network has stored corresponding UE capabilities, the network requests the UE to report its UE capabilities related to its SCG deactivated state, and the report includes at least whether the UE supports the capability of directly setting the SCG to a deactivated state when adding an SCG.

[0241] In step 2, if the UE has the capability to directly set the SCG to a deactivated state when adding the SCG, the network sends an RRC reconfiguration message to the UE to directly set the SCG to a deactivated state when adding the SCG.

[0242] In step 3, after receiving the RRC reconfiguration message including directly setting the SCG to the deactivated state, the UE completes the SCG addition process and directly sets the SCG to the deactivated state. Otherwise, the UE can only convert the SCG to the deactivated state by performing the operation in the embodiment of setting the SCG to the deactivated state after adding the SCG.

[0243] Although the addition of an SCG has been used as an example, other processes involving operations such as SCG reconfiguration, and / or conditional PSCell addition, and / or PSCell change, and / or conditional PSCell change, and / or RRC recovery, and / or synchronous PSCell reconfiguration are similar and will not be described further here.

[0244] Specifically, the SCG is directly set to a deactivated state upon synchronous reconfiguration of the PCell (and / or PCell change).

[0245] In step 1, when the network attempts to configure synchronous reconfiguration of the PCell, if the network side has stored corresponding UE capabilities, the network directly inquires whether the UE supports the capability of directly setting the SCG to a deactivated state when synchronously reconfiguring the PCell; if the network side has not stored corresponding UE capabilities, the network requests the core network to obtain the UE capabilities related to the SCG deactivated state stored in the core network; if neither the network side nor the core network has stored corresponding UE capabilities, the network requests the UE to report its UE capabilities related to its SCG deactivated state, and the report includes at least whether the UE supports the capability of directly setting the SCG to a deactivated state when synchronously reconfiguring the PCell.

[0246] In step 2, if the UE has the capability to directly set the SCG to a deactivated state when performing synchronous reconfiguration of the PCell, the network sends an RRC reconfiguration message to the UE to directly set the SCG to a deactivated state when performing synchronous reconfiguration of the PCell.

[0247] In step 3, after receiving the RRC reconfiguration message including directly setting the SCG to the deactivated state, the UE completes the synchronous reconfiguration of the PCell and directly sets the SCG to the deactivated state. Otherwise, the UE can only convert the SCG to the deactivated state by performing the synchronous reconfiguration of the PCell and then performing the operation in the embodiment of setting the SCG to the deactivated state.

[0248] Although synchronous reconfiguration of the PCell is taken as an example, other processes involving a PCell change operation are similar, and therefore will not be further described here.

[0249] Specifically, when the RRC is restored, the SCG is directly set to a deactivated state. The specific steps are as follows:

[0250] In step 1, when the network attempts to set up an RRC connection recovery, if the network side has stored corresponding UE capabilities, the network directly inquires whether the UE supports the capability of directly setting the SCG to a deactivated state upon RRC recovery; if the network side has not stored corresponding UE capabilities, the network requests the core network to obtain the UE capabilities related to the SCG deactivated state stored in the core network; if neither the network side nor the core network has stored corresponding UE capabilities, the network requests the UE to report its UE capabilities related to its SCG deactivated state, and the report includes at least whether the UE supports the capability of directly setting the SCG to a deactivated state upon RRC recovery.

[0251] In step 2, if the UE has the capability to directly set the SCG to a deactivated state when performing RRC recovery, the network sends an RRC Resume or RRC Connection Resume message to the UE when performing RRC recovery, which directly sets the SCG to a deactivated state.

[0252] In step 3, after the UE receives a message including RRC Resume or RRC Connection Resume that directly sets the SCG to the deactivated state, the UE completes the RRC recovery process and directly sets the SCG to the deactivated state. Otherwise, the UE can only convert the SCG to the deactivated state by performing the operation in the embodiment of setting the SCG to the deactivated state after performing RRC recovery.

[0253] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the above-mentioned setting related to reconfiguration when the SCG is in a deactivated state may be: Adding an SCell when the SCG is in a deactivated state; Releasing the SCell when the SCG is in a deactivated state; Reconfiguring the SCell when the SCG is in a deactivated state; Modifying the PSCell when the SCG is in a deactivated state; synchronously reconfiguring the PSCell when the SCG is in a deactivated state; conditionally modifying the PSCell when the SCG is in a deactivated state; Releasing the SCG when the SCG is in a deactivated state; Reconfiguring the PSCell when the SCG is in a deactivated state; Switching the PCell when the SCG is in a deactivation state; and synchronously reconfiguring the PCell when the SCG is in a deactivated state.

[0254] Specifically, when the SCG is in the deactivated state, an SCell addition (and / or SCell release and / or SCell reconfiguration) operation is performed. Specific steps are as follows.

[0255] In step 1, the network configures an SCG for the UE, and the SCG is in a deactivated state. When the network attempts to configure an SCell addition operation, if the network side stores a corresponding UE capability, the network directly inquires whether the UE supports the capability of adding an SCell in an SCG deactivated state; if the network side does not store a corresponding UE capability, the network requests the core network to obtain the UE capability for the SCG deactivated state stored in the core network; if neither the network side nor the core network stores a corresponding UE capability, the network requests the UE to report its UE capability for the SCG deactivated state, and the report includes at least whether the UE supports the capability of adding an SCell in an SCG deactivated state.

[0256] In step 2, if the UE has the capability to add an SCell when in an SCG deactivated state, the network performs an SCell addition operation to complete the SCell addition.

[0257] In step 2-1, if the UE does not have the capability, the network can only first convert the SCG to an activated state according to the operation in the embodiment of setting the SCG to a deactivated state, and then complete the SCell addition operation.

[0258] Although the addition of an SCell is taken as an example, the process involving the release of an SCell and / or the reconfiguration of an SCell is similar, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0259] Specifically, when the SCG is in an inactive state, a PSCell reconfiguration (and / or a PSCell change, and / or a conditional PSCell change, and / or a synchronous reconfiguration of the PSCell, and / or an SCG release) operation is performed. Specific steps are as follows:

[0260] In step 1, the network configures an SCG for the UE, and the SCG is in a deactivated state. When the network attempts to configure a PSCell reconfiguration operation, if the network side stores a corresponding UE capability, the network directly inquires whether the UE supports the capability of reconfiguring the PSCell in an SCG deactivated state; if the network side does not store a corresponding UE capability, the network requests the core network to obtain the UE capability for the SCG deactivated state stored in the core network; if neither the network side nor the core network stores a corresponding UE capability, the network requests the UE to report its UE capability for the SCG deactivated state, and the report includes at least whether the UE supports the capability of reconfiguring the PSCell in an SCG deactivated state.

[0261] In step 2, if the UE has the capability to reconfigure the PSCell when in SCG deactivation state, the network performs a PSCell reconfiguration operation to complete the PSCell reconfiguration.

[0262] In step 2-1, if the UE does not have the capability, the network first converts the SCG to an activated state according to the operation in the embodiment of setting the SCG to a deactivated state, and then completes the PSCell reconfiguration operation.

[0263] Note that, taking PSCell reconfiguration as an example, other processes involving PSCell change, and / or PSCell synchronous reconfiguration, and / or conditional PSCell change, and / or SCG release operations are similar, so no further details will be given here.

[0264] Specifically, the PCell switching (and / or PCell synchronous reconfiguration) operation is performed in the SCG deactivation state. Specific steps are as follows:

[0265] In step 1, the network configures an SCG for the UE, and the SCG is in a deactivated state. When the network attempts to configure a PCell switching, if the network side stores corresponding UE capabilities, the network directly inquires whether the UE supports the capability of performing a PCell switching in an SCG deactivated state; if the network side does not store corresponding UE capabilities, the network requests the core network to obtain UE capabilities related to the SCG deactivated state stored in the core network; if neither the network side nor the core network stores corresponding UE capabilities, the network requests the UE to report its UE capabilities related to its SCG deactivated state, and the report includes at least whether the UE supports the capability of performing a PCell switching in an SCG deactivated state.

[0266] In step 2, if the UE has the capability to perform PCell switching when in SCG deactivated state, the network performs the PCell switching operation and completes the PCell switching.

[0267] In step 2-1, if the UE does not have the capability, the network first converts the SCG to an activated state according to the operation in the embodiment of setting the SCG to a deactivated state, and then completes the PCell switching operation.

[0268] Although PCell switching is taken as an example, other processes involving synchronous reconfiguration of PCell are similar to this, and therefore will not be further described here.
