Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of communications, and more particularly to a measurement instruction method, a terminal, and a network side device. [Background technology]

[0002] The network side device can instruct a terminal in a non-connected state (including an idle state and an inactive state) to perform measurements and report the validity of the measurement results after the terminal transitions to a connected state, and when the network side device requests the terminal to report the measurement results, the terminal reports the measurement results. According to the above method, the network side device can quickly configure or activate a secondary cell (Scell) for the terminal according to the measurement results reported by the terminal, and quickly restore the terminal data.

[0003] Currently, the measurement configuration sent by the network side device to the terminal is based on Synchronization Signal and Physical Broadcast Channel Block (SSB) measurements, and the terminal in the disconnected state can perform SSB measurements using the measurement configuration. Release 17 (R17) may allow the sending of measurement configuration based on Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) to the terminal, so that the terminal in the disconnected state can also perform CSI-RS measurements.

[0004] Although the number of reference signal types has increased, the related art does not define how a terminal performs reference signal measurement reporting, which may result in wasted network resources. For example, a terminal has valid CSI-RS measurement results and reports a measurement result validity indication to a network-side device, where the validity indication indicates that the terminal has valid measurement results available. The network-side device cannot determine whether the CSI-RS measurement results or the SSB measurement results are valid based on the validity indication. Therefore, when the network-side device wants to obtain SSB measurement results, it requests the terminal to report the measurement results. However, the terminal reports CSI-RS measurement results that the network-side device is not interested in, which may result in wasted network resources. Furthermore, considering that the related art does not define how a terminal performs measurement reporting based on measurement quantities, frequency bands, etc., this may also result in wasted network resources.

As long as the same technical effect can be achieved, the base station is not limited to a specific technical term. In the embodiments of the present application, only a base station in an NR system is taken as an example, but it should be noted that the specific type of the base station is not limited.

[0021] The measurement instruction method, terminal, and network side device provided in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings according to specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a measurement instruction method 200, which may be performed by a terminal, in other words, the method 200 may be performed by software or hardware implemented in the terminal, and the method includes the following step S202:

[0023] In S202, at least one of first information, second information and third information is obtained, where the first information relates to a granularity at which the terminal performs non-connected state measurements, the second information relates to a granularity at which the terminal reports the validity of non-connected state measurement results, and the third information relates to a granularity at which the terminal reports the non-connected state measurement results, and the granularity relates to at least one of a reference signal, a measurement quantity and a frequency band.

[0024] The granularity described in each embodiment of the present application may indicate the level of detail or division of the related information, or the amount of information included in a protocol basic unit, etc. The related information may be information related to a reference signal, a measurement quantity, a frequency band, etc. For example, the terminal reports the validity of the measurement results of the reference signal at a certain granularity, where the granularity may be as follows: 1) The terminal reports that there are valid measurement results but does not indicate which reference signal measurement results are valid; 2) The terminal reports that there are valid measurement results and indicates or defaults that all SSB and CSI-RS measurement results are valid; 3) The terminal reports whether the measurement results of the SSB reference signal are valid and whether the CSI-RS measurement results are valid; 4) The terminal only reports which reference signal measurement results are valid.

[0025] The granularity in the first information, second information and third information relates to at least one of a reference signal, a measured quantity and a frequency band, for example, the granularity in the first information relates to a reference signal, a measured quantity and a frequency band, the granularity in the first information relates to a reference signal, the granularity in the first information relates to a measured quantity, the granularity in the first information relates to a frequency band, the granularity in the first information relates to a reference signal and a frequency band. For the same reason, the granularity in the second information relates to at least one of a reference signal, a measured quantity and a frequency band, and the granularity in the third information relates to at least one of a reference signal, a measured quantity and a frequency band.

[0026] The granularity includes the granularity of the reference signal, the granularity of the measurement quantity, or the granularity of the frequency band.

[0027] In one example, the reference signals include a first type including a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) and a second type including a Synchronization Signal and physical broadcast channel Block (SSB).

[0028] In another example, the measurements include a first type comprising a Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) and a second type comprising a Channel Occupancy Ratio (COR).

[0029] In yet another example, the frequency bands include a first type that encompasses licensed frequency bands and a second type that encompasses unlicensed frequency bands.

[0030] As is clear from the following description, when the first type and the second type appear simultaneously, for example, when the first information instructs the terminal to perform measurements based on the "first type and the second type," the "first type" and "second type" appear simultaneously generally refer to the first type and the second type listed in any of the three examples above. Specifically, for example, when the first type is CSI-RS, the second type generally refers to SSB, not COR and unlicensed frequency bands. In other words, in the following embodiments, when the first type belongs to a certain dimension, the corresponding second type in the same language environment also belongs to the same dimension, where the dimension may be a reference signal, a measurement, or a frequency band.

[0031] The first information described in this embodiment relates to the granularity at which the terminal performs measurements in an unconnected state; for example, the first information is used to instruct the terminal whether to perform CSI-RS measurements or whether to perform SSB measurements in an unconnected state; further, for example, the first information is used to instruct the terminal whether to perform RSSI measurements or whether to perform COR measurements in an unconnected state; and further, for example, the first information is used to instruct the terminal whether to perform licensed frequency band measurements or whether to perform unlicensed frequency band measurements in an unconnected state.

[0032] The second information described in this embodiment relates to the granularity at which the terminal reports the validity of the measurement result in the disconnected state, for example, the second information is used to instruct the terminal to report the validity of the measurement result in the disconnected state under the first condition, and the measurement result in the disconnected state may be a CSI-RS measurement result, an SSB measurement result, an RSSI measurement result, a COR measurement result, a licensed frequency band measurement result, or an unlicensed frequency band measurement result, etc. For a detailed introduction of the first condition, please refer to the following embodiment.

[0033] The third information described in this embodiment relates to the granularity at which the terminal reports non-connected state measurement results, and for example, the third information is used to instruct the terminal when to report (or whether to report, how to report, etc.) CSI-RS measurement results, SSB measurement results, RSSI measurement results, COR measurement results, licensed frequency band measurement results, or unlicensed frequency band measurement results, etc.

[0034] The first information, second information, and third information may be defined by a protocol or may be obtained from downlink instruction information transmitted from a network-side device. In this way, the first information may be obtained based on a protocol specification or may be obtained from a received first network instruction message (which may be referred to as a first downlink message) in the acquisition of the first information described in S202. For the same reason, the second information may be obtained based on a protocol specification or may be obtained from a received second network instruction message (which may be referred to as a second downlink message) in the acquisition of the second information. The third information may be obtained based on a protocol specification or may be obtained from a received third network instruction message (which may be referred to as a third downlink message) in the acquisition of the third information.

[0035] According to the measurement instruction method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal can obtain at least one of the first information, the second information, and the third information, where the first information is related to the granularity at which the terminal performs non-connected state measurement, the second information is related to the granularity at which the terminal reports the validity of the non-connected state measurement result, and the third information is related to the granularity at which the terminal reports the non-connected state measurement result, and the above-mentioned granularity is related to at least one of the reference signal, the measurement quantity, and the frequency band. In this way, the terminal can perform non-connected state measurement reporting, etc. based on at least one of the first information, the second information, and the third information, thereby avoiding transmission problems caused by inconsistent information between the terminal and the network side device, avoiding waste of network resources, and improving communication efficiency.

[0036] In order to explain the above-mentioned first information, second information, third information, etc. in detail, a detailed explanation will be given below with reference to several examples. Example 1

[0037] The first information relates to a granularity at which the terminal performs disconnected state measurements, and the first information is used to instruct the terminal's behavior, including one of the following: 1) Perform measurements based on the first type and the second type. For example, the first information instructs the terminal to perform measurements based on CSI-RS and SSB, instructs the terminal to perform measurements based on RSSI and COR, and instructs the terminal to perform measurements based on licensed frequency bands and unlicensed frequency bands. 2) Not performing measurements based on the first type and the second type. For example, the first information instructs the terminal not to perform measurements based on CSI-RS and SSB, instructs the terminal not to perform measurements based on RSSI and COR, and instructs the terminal not to perform measurements based on licensed frequency bands and unlicensed frequency bands. 3) Performing at least one of measurements based on the first type and the second type, for example, the first information instructs the terminal to perform at least one of measurements based on CSI-RS and SSB, instructs the terminal to perform at least one of measurements based on RSSI and COR, and instructs the terminal to perform at least one measurement based on unlicensed spectrum. 4) Performing one of measurements based on the first type and the second type. For example, the first information instructs the terminal to perform measurements based on CSI-RS, or the first information instructs the terminal to perform measurements based on SSB, further for example, the first information instructs the terminal to perform measurements based on RSSI, or instructs the terminal to perform measurements based on COR, further for example, the first information instructs the terminal to perform measurements based on unlicensed spectrum, or instructs the terminal to perform measurements based on licensed spectrum.

[0038] As is necessary to explain, any of the measurements described in each embodiment of the present application may be non-connected state measurements, which include idle and inactive states, and which may be referred to as early measurements or idle / inactive measurements.

[0039] As mentioned above, the first information may be defined by a protocol or may be obtained from the received first network indication message.

[0040] When the first information is specified by a protocol, for example, the protocol specifies that the terminal performs measurements based on CSI-RS and SSB during the cell selection or reselection process. Furthermore, for example, the protocol specifies that the first information is determined based on the measurement configuration received by the terminal. Specifically, for example, when receiving CSI-RS measurement configuration information transmitted by the serving cell, the terminal performs CSI-RS measurement, and when receiving SSB measurement configuration information transmitted by the serving cell, the terminal performs SSB measurement. For the same reason, the protocol-specified method also applies when the first and second types are RSSI and COR, respectively, and similarly when the first and second types are licensed and unlicensed frequency bands, respectively.

[0041] When the first information is obtained from a received first network instruction message, the first network instruction message may include a first instruction field and a second instruction field, or the first network instruction message may include a third instruction field.

[0042] The first indication field can be used to instruct the terminal whether to perform measurements based on the first type. The first type may be CSI-RS, RSSI, licensed frequency band, etc. In this example, for example, a first indication field value of 1 indicates that the terminal performs CSI-RS measurements, and a value of 0 indicates that the terminal does not perform CSI-RS measurements.

[0043] The second instruction field is used to instruct the terminal whether to perform measurements based on the second type. The second type may be SSB, COR, unlicensed frequency band, etc. In this example, for example, a value of 1 in the second instruction field indicates that SSB measurements are to be performed, and a value of 0 indicates that SSB measurements are not to be performed.

[0044] The third instruction field is used to instruct the terminal to perform at least one of the following actions: perform measurements based on the first type and the second type; perform at least one of measurements based on the first type and the second type; perform one of measurements based on the first type and the second type; or not perform measurements based on the first type and the second type. The first type may be CSI-RS, RSSI, licensed frequency band, etc., and correspondingly, the second type may be SSB, COR, unlicensed frequency band, etc.

[0045] The first network indication message described in each embodiment of the present application may be a broadcast message or a dedicated signaling.

[0046] In a specific example, the third instruction field includes at least one of the following: A first value used to instruct the terminal to perform measurements based on the first type and the second type (for example, the first value is Both, two, CSIRS-SSB, etc.), or when the third instruction field is the first value, the terminal performs measurements based on the first type and the second type. a second value (e.g., the second value is Least, CSIRS-or-SSB, etc.) used to instruct the terminal to perform at least one of measurements based on the first type and the second type. In this example, when the third instruction field is the second value, the terminal performs at least one of measurements based on the first type and the second type. a third value used to instruct the terminal to perform measurements based on the first type. In this example, when the third instruction field is the third value, the terminal performs measurements based on the first type. For example, when the third value is CSI-RS, the terminal performs measurements based on CSI-RS. A fourth value used to instruct the terminal to perform measurements based on the second type. In this example, when the third instruction field is the fourth value, the terminal performs measurements based on the second type. For example, when the fourth value is SSB, the terminal performs measurements based on SSB.

[0047] In another example, if the third indication field does not appear in the first network indication message, the first network indication message may instruct the terminal not to perform measurements based on the first type and the second type. If the third indication field has another specific value (a value other than the first value, the second value, the third value, or the fourth value, for example, null), the first network indication message instructs the terminal not to perform measurements based on the first type and the second type.

[0048] In another example, when the third instruction field has a specified value (e.g., 1), the default is to instruct the terminal to perform one of the following: perform measurements based on the first type and the second type; perform at least one of the measurements based on the first type and the second type; or perform one or a specific one (e.g., the first type) of the measurements based on the first type and the second type. When the third instruction field has another predetermined value (e.g., 0), the default is to not perform measurements based on the first type and the second type, or to perform one (e.g., the second type) of the measurements based on the first type and the second type.

[0049] In the above example, the method for indicating the value of the third indication field is introduced using a reference signal as an example, but the method can also be applied to measurement quantities and frequency bands.

[0050] In this embodiment 1, the terminal can be made to understand whether to perform measurement based on the first type or the second type by using protocol specifications or network-side device instructions, thereby avoiding transmission problems caused by inconsistent information between the terminal and the network-side device, avoiding network resource waste, and improving communication efficiency. Example 2

[0051] The second information relates to the granularity at which the terminal reports the validity of the measurement results in the disconnected state, and for example, the second information is used to instruct the terminal to report the validity of the measurement results when the first condition is met.

[0052] Optionally, the first condition includes one of the following: 1) At least one of the first type measurement result and the second type measurement result is valid. For example, the second information instructs the terminal to report the validity of the measurement result when all CSI-RS measurement results and SSB measurement results are valid, or only CSI-RS measurement results are valid, or only SSB measurement results are valid. In yet another example, the second information instructs the terminal to report the validity of the measurement result when all RSSI measurement results and COR measurement results are valid, or only RSSI measurement results are valid, or only COR measurement results are valid. For the same reason, the above instruction method also applies to instructing the terminal to report the validity of measurement results of licensed and unlicensed spectrum. 2) The first type measurement result and the second type measurement result are all valid. For example, when the CSI-RS measurement result and the SSB measurement result are all valid, the second information instructs the terminal to report the validity of the measurement result. For the same reason, this instruction method also applies to instructing the terminal to report the validity of RSSI and COR measurement results, and similarly applies to instructing the terminal to report the validity of measurement results of licensed and unlicensed frequency bands. 3) One of the first type measurement result and the second type measurement result is valid. For example, the second information instructs the terminal to report the validity of the measurement result when the CSI-RS measurement result is valid. Or, the second information instructs the terminal to report the validity of the measurement result when the SSB measurement result is valid. For the same reason, this indication method is also applicable to instructing the terminal to report the validity of RSSI and COR measurement results, and is similarly adapted to instructing the terminal to report the validity of licensed and unlicensed spectrum measurement results.

[0053] When the first type is CSI-RS and the second type is SSB, the measurement results described in each embodiment of the present application are valid, for example, when the terminal acquires a CSI-RS measurement result that satisfies a first predetermined requirement, or when the terminal acquires an SSB measurement result that satisfies a second predetermined requirement, where the first predetermined requirement may be that the CSI-RS measurement result is higher than a first threshold, and the second predetermined requirement may be that the SSB measurement result is higher than a second threshold, where the first threshold and the second threshold may be the same or different.

[0054] When the first type is RSSI and the second type is COR, the measurement results described in each embodiment of the present application may be valid, for example, when the terminal acquires an RSSI that satisfies a third predetermined requirement, or when the terminal acquires a COR that satisfies a fourth predetermined requirement.

[0055] When the first type is a licensed frequency band and the second type is an unlicensed frequency band, the measurement results described in each embodiment of the present application are valid, for example, when the terminal obtains a measurement result that satisfies the fifth predetermined requirement based on the licensed frequency band, or when the terminal obtains a measurement result that satisfies the sixth predetermined requirement based on the unlicensed frequency band.

[0056] As mentioned above, the second information may be defined by a protocol or may be obtained from a received second network indication message.

[0057] When the second information is specified by a protocol, for example, the protocol specifies that the terminal can report that the measurement results are valid if at least one of the first type measurement results and the second type measurement results is valid.Further, for example, the protocol specifies that the terminal will not report that the measurement results are valid unless all of the first type and second type measurement results are valid.Further, for example, the protocol specifies that the terminal will report the validity of a measurement result of a higher priority type (e.g., reporting an SSB measurement result).

[0058] If the second information is obtained from the received second network instruction message, the second network instruction message includes a fourth instruction field, and the fourth instruction field includes at least one of the following: A fifth value (e.g., the fifth value is least, CSIRS-or-SSB, etc.) used to instruct the terminal to report the validity of the measurement result when at least one of the first type measurement result and the second type measurement result is valid. In this example, when the fourth indication field is the fifth value, the terminal reports the validity of the measurement result when at least one of the first type measurement result and the second type measurement result is valid. A sixth value (e.g., the sixth value is both, two, CSIRS-SSB, etc.) used to instruct the terminal to report the validity of the measurement results when the first type measurement result and the second type measurement result are both valid. Examples given when the fourth indicator field is a value of 6, 7, or 8 are similar to the examples given when the fourth indicator field is a value of 5, and therefore, a duplicate explanation will be omitted. A seventh value used to instruct the terminal to report the validity of the first type measurement result when the first type measurement result is valid. An eighth value used to instruct the terminal to report the validity of the second type measurement result when the second type measurement result is valid.

[0059] The second network indication message described in each embodiment of the present application may be a broadcast message or dedicated signaling.

[0060] Optionally, the second information can be realized by multiplexing the first information or the first network instruction information in Example 1, for example, the first network instruction message instructs the terminal to perform CSI-RS measurement and, when the CSI-RS measurement result is valid, instructs the terminal to report the validity of the measurement result.

[0061] In the second embodiment, the terminal can be made to acknowledge that the measurement result is valid when the first condition is met by protocol specification or network-side device instruction, thereby avoiding transmission problems caused by inconsistent information between the terminal and the network-side device, avoiding network resource waste, and improving communication effectiveness. Example 3

[0062] In this embodiment, after the terminal obtains the second information, the terminal can further report fourth information, where the fourth information includes at least one of the following: 1) At least one of the first type measurement result and the second type measurement result is valid. For a detailed example of the indication method, see the description in Example 2. 2) The first type measurement result and the second type measurement result are all valid. For example, the fourth information indicates that the CSI-RS measurement result and the SSB measurement result are all valid. For a detailed example of this indication method, see the description in Example 2. 3) One of the first type measurement result and the second type measurement result is valid. For example, the fourth information indicates that the CSI-RS measurement result is valid, or the fourth information indicates that the SSB measurement result is valid. For detailed examples of the indication method, see the description in Example 2.

[0063] In one example, the fourth information is carried in a first upstream message, and the first upstream message includes a fifth indication field and a sixth indication field, or the first upstream message includes a seventh indication field.

[0064] The fifth indication field is used to indicate whether the first type measurement result is valid or not, and the sixth indication field is used to indicate whether the second type measurement result is valid or not.

[0065] The seventh indication field is used to indicate at least one of the following: all of the first type measurement results and the second type measurement results are valid; at least one of the first type measurement results and the second type measurement results is valid; or one of the first type measurement results and the second type measurement results is valid.

[0066] In a specific example, the seventh instruction field is: a ninth value used to indicate that the first type measurement result and the second type measurement result are all valid; and a tenth value used to indicate that at least one of the first type measurement result and the second type measurement result is valid; and an eleventh value used to indicate that the first type measurement result is valid; and and a twelfth value used to indicate that the second type measurement result is valid.

[0067] In another example, if the seventh indicator field does not appear in the first uplink message, it can indicate that all of the first type measurement results and the second type measurement results are invalid. If the seventh indicator field has another specific value (a value other than values ​​9 to 12, for example, null), it indicates that all of the first type measurement results and the second type measurement results are invalid.

[0068] In another example, when the seventh indicator field is set to a specified value (e.g., 1), the default is to indicate to the terminal that all of the first type measurement results and the second type measurement results are valid, that at least one of the first type measurement results and the second type measurement results is valid, or that one of the first type measurement results and the second type measurement results is valid.When the seventh indicator field is set to a different specified value (e.g., 0), the default is to indicate that all of the first type measurement results and the second type measurement results are invalid, or that one of the first type measurement results and the second type measurement results is valid (e.g., the second type is valid).

[0069] In this embodiment 3, the terminal can report the fourth information, which can be used to indicate whether the first type measurement result is valid or not, whether the second type measurement result is valid or not, etc., thereby avoiding transmission problems caused by inconsistent information between the terminal and the network side device, avoiding waste of network resources, and improving communication effectiveness. Example 4

[0070] The third information relates to the granularity at which the terminal reports the non-connected state measurement results, and for example, the third information is used to instruct the terminal to perform at least one of the following: 1) Broadcast the first type measurement results and the second type measurement results. For example, the third information instructs the terminal to broadcast CSI-RS and SSB measurement results, instructs the terminal to broadcast RSSI and COR measurement results, and instructs the terminal to broadcast licensed frequency band and unlicensed frequency band measurement results. 2) Broadcast at least one of the first type measurement results and the second type measurement results. For example, the third information instructs the terminal to broadcast CSI-RS and SSB measurement results, instructs the terminal to broadcast RSSI measurement results, and instructs the terminal to broadcast unlicensed spectrum measurement results. For the same reason, this instruction method also applies to broadcasting RSSI and COR measurement results, and similarly applies to broadcasting licensed and unlicensed spectrum measurement results. 3) Broadcast one of the first type measurement results or the second type measurement results. For example, the third information instructs the terminal to broadcast SSB measurement results and instructs the terminal to broadcast COR measurement results. For the same reason, this instruction method also applies to broadcasting RSSI and COR measurement results, and similarly applies to broadcasting measurement results of licensed and unlicensed frequency bands. 4) The first type measurement result and the second type measurement result are not broadcast. For example, the third information instructs the terminal not to broadcast CSI-RS and SSB measurement results, instructs the terminal not to broadcast RSSI and COR measurement results, and instructs the terminal not to broadcast licensed frequency band and unlicensed frequency band measurement results.

[0071] As described above, the third information may be defined by a protocol or may be obtained from a received third network indication message.

[0072] When the third information is defined by a protocol, the protocol definition method is similar to the method of defining the first information and the second information in the first and second embodiments, and the overlapping description will be omitted here.

[0073] If the third information is obtained from the received third network instruction message, the third network instruction message includes an eighth instruction field and a ninth instruction field, or the third network instruction message includes a tenth instruction field.

[0074] The eighth instruction field is used to instruct the terminal whether to report the first type measurement result, and the ninth instruction field is used to instruct the terminal whether to report the second type measurement result.

[0075] The 10th instruction field is used to instruct the terminal to at least one of reporting the first type measurement result and the second type measurement result, reporting at least one of the first type measurement result and the second type measurement result, reporting one of the first type measurement result and the second type measurement result, and not reporting the first type measurement result and the second type measurement result.

[0076] The third network indication message described in each embodiment of the present application may be a broadcast message or a dedicated signaling.

[0077] In a specific example, the tenth instruction field includes at least one of the following: A thirteenth value used to instruct the terminal to report the first type measurement result and the second type measurement result. In this example, when the tenth indication field is the thirteenth value, the terminal reports the first type measurement result and the second type measurement result. A fourteenth value used to instruct the terminal to report at least one of the first type measurement result and the second type measurement result. In this example, when the tenth indication field is the fourteenth value, the terminal reports at least one of the first type measurement result and the second type measurement result. A 15th value used to instruct the terminal to report the first type measurement result. In this example, when the 10th indication field is the 15th value, the terminal reports the first type measurement result. A sixteenth value used to instruct the terminal to report the second type measurement result. In this example, when the tenth indication field is the sixteenth value, the terminal reports the second type measurement result.

[0078] Optionally, in one example, the tenth instruction field may further include a seventeenth value used to instruct the terminal not to report the first type measurement result and the second type measurement result.

[0079] Optionally, if a tenth indication field does not appear, the terminal is instructed not to broadcast the first type measurement result and the second type measurement result.

[0080] As is clear from the above description, the first network indication information, the second network indication information, and the third network indication information described in each embodiment may be the same or different. For example, if the first network indication information and the second network indication information are the same, it means that the terminal obtains the first information and the second information through the same network indication information sent by the network. Example 5

[0081] In this embodiment, the terminal (UE) performs the disconnected state measurement by broadcasting messages.

[0082] In step 1, the UE is in an inactive state, and the CSI-RS measurement configuration and the SSB measurement configuration are stored, and the measurement configuration can be obtained by dedicated signaling (e.g., RRCRelease) or a broadcast message (e.g., SIB1).

[0083] In step 2, the UE performs cell selection or reselection and selects cell 1.

[0084] In step 3, the UE reads the broadcast message (eg, SIB1) of cell 1 and determines whether to perform disconnected state measurements.

[0085] If SIB1 instructs the UE to measure CSI-RS (for example, SIB1 includes idleModeMeasurementsNR-CSIRS), the UE measures only CSI-RS.

[0086] If SIB1 instructs the UE to measure the SSB (for example, SIB1 includes idleModeMeasurementsNR-SSB), the UE measures only the SSB.

[0087] If SIB1 instructs the UE to measure two types of reference signals (for example, if SIB1 includes idleModeMeasurementsNR, or includes both idleModeMeasurementsNR-CSIRS and idleModeMeasurementsNR-SSB), the UE measures CSI-RS and SSB.

[0088] If the UE is instructed not to measure in SIB1 (for example, if SIB1 does not include idleModeMeasurementsNR, or if idleModeMeasurementsNR-CSIRS and idleModeMeasurementsNR-SSB are not included), the UE will not perform measurements in the disconnected state.

[0089] In step 4, the UE performs disconnected state measurements. Example 6

[0090] In this embodiment, the UE reports the validity of the measurement results in response to a broadcast message.

[0091] In step 1, the UE performs disconnected state measurements to obtain valid CSI-RS measurements.

[0092] In step 2, the network system message instructs the UE to report the validity of the measurement result in the following manner:

[0093] Step 2 can be divided into the following four situations, 2.1 to 2.4. In 2.1, when the CSI-RS measurement result is valid, the validity of the measurement result is reported. In 2.2, when the SSB measurement result is valid, the validity of the measurement result is notified. In 2.3, when at least one of the SSB and CSI-RS measurement results is valid, the measurement results are reported as valid. In 2.4, when all SSB and CSI-RS measurement results are valid, the measurement results are reported as valid.

[0094] In step 3, the UE reports the validity of the measurement result in the following manner: For step 2.1, the UE indicates to the network that the measurement results are valid. For step 2.2, the UE does not instruct the network. For step 2.3, the UE indicates to the network that the measurements are valid. Additionally, the UE may indicate that the CSI-RS measurements are valid (e.g., idleMeasAvailable-CSIRS). The UE does not instruct the network for step 2.4.

[0095] In the above process, the instruction information in the broadcast message can simultaneously instruct the UE to perform measurement and validity notification. For example, the network instructs the UE to perform CSI-RS measurement (idleModeMeasurementsNR-CSIRS), and when the UE measures CSI-RS and the result is valid, it notifies the UE that the measurement result is valid. Example 7

[0096] In this embodiment, the UE reports the measurement results by broadcasting messages.

[0097] In step 1, the UE performs disconnected state measurements and obtains CSI-RS measurement results.

[0098] In step 2, the UE broadcasts the measurement results via the network indication information.

[0099] Step 2 can be divided into the following three situations: 2.1 to 2.3. In 2.1, the network instructs the UE to report the CSI-RS measurement results. In 2.2, the network instructs the UE to broadcast the SSB measurement results. In 2.3, the network instructs the UE to broadcast at least one of the CSI-RS and SSB measurement results.

[0100] In step 3, the UE performs the following according to the indication information in step 2: For step 2.1, the UE reports the CSI-RS measurements. For step 2.2, the UE does not have valid SSB measurements and therefore does not report. For step 2.3, the UE reports the CSI-RS measurements.
