For illustrative purposes, the embodiments of this application only take base stations in an NR system as examples, but do not limit the specific type of base station.
[0020] The following describes in detail the method for adjusting monitoring behavior according to the embodiment of the present application through specific examples and application scenarios, in conjunction with the drawings.
[0021] 2 shows a flow diagram of a method for adjusting monitoring behavior according to an embodiment of the present application. This method may be performed by a terminal, that is, the method may be performed by software or hardware installed on the terminal. As shown in FIG. 2, the method may include the following steps:
[0022] In step S201, the measurement parameters and adjustment parameters of the target measurement configured by the network side are obtained.
[0023] The target measurement Measurements corresponding to Radio Link Monitoring (RLM) and Measurements corresponding to beam fault detection (BFD) and and measurements corresponding to Radio resource management (RRM).
[0024] After step S201, the method includes: The method further includes performing a first target operation. The terminal may perform the first target operation after receiving the configuration by the network side.
[0025] Here, the first target operation is: stopping counting and / or timing corresponding to determining whether to initiate said measurement adjustment; stopping counting and / or timing corresponding to determining whether to terminate said measurement adjustment; restarting counting and / or timing corresponding to the determination of whether to initiate said measurement adjustment; restarting counting and / or timing corresponding to determining whether to terminate said measurement adjustment; backing off to the normal measurement; No measurement relaxation, and not performing measurement enhancement.
[0026] In step S203, a measurement adjustment is performed on the target measurement based on the measurement parameters of the target measurement and the adjustment parameters, where the measurement adjustment is to adjust the manner of the target measurement, and the manner of the target measurement includes measurement relaxation, measurement enhancement, or normal measurement.
[0027] The measurement relaxation or measurement strengthening of the target measurement and the trigger conditions are given as follows, taking RLM and BFD as examples:
[0028] RLM / BFD measurement mitigation may include at least one of the following:
[0029] 1. Time domain RLM / BFD measurement relaxation is a) Extending the RLM / BFD measurement period L1 or reducing the number of measurement samples, b) Or, for normal measurement, a measurement period P1 is used, for relaxed measurement, a measurement period P2 is used, and for enhanced measurement, a measurement period P3 is used, where P3 <P2<P1であること、 c) Includes an extension of the RLM / BFD measurement L2 / L3 indication interval.
[0030] 2. Do not perform RLM / BFD measurements or reduce RLM / BFD measurements within a certain period of time.
[0031] 3. Do not issue RLM / BFD upper layer instructions or reduce RLM / BFD upper layer instructions within a certain period of time.
[0032] 4. Do not perform RLM / BFD measurements on resources that meet the condition and do not resume measurements until they back off to normal measurements or enhanced measurements.
[0033] 5. Measure some resources less.
[0034] 6. The spatial domain RLM / BFD measurements are relaxed, i.e. the RLM / BFD measurement beam is reduced, or the corresponding time-domain and frequency-domain measurements on the beam are relaxed.
[0035] 7. Reduce the number of reference signals for RLM / BFD measurements.
[0036] Correspondingly, the measurement enhancements for RLM / BFD may include the opposite of each of the measurement relaxations listed above.
[0037] Measurement adjustment can adjust the target measurement between measurement relaxation, measurement strengthening, and normal measurement, allowing the terminal to better adapt to the current network configuration. However, as measurement adjustment progresses, the target measurement may gradually deviate from the normal measurement. If the backoff mechanism of RLM / BFD relaxation is not taken into account, when the network reconfigures parameters to the terminal, the terminal may not be able to quickly adapt to the network configuration, which may affect the terminal's mobility performance.
[0038] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the measurement parameters and adjustment parameters of the target measurement configured by the network side are obtained, and the terminal performs a first target operation and performs measurement adjustment for the target measurement based on the measurement parameters and the adjustment parameters of the target measurement, so that the terminal can quickly back off to the normal measurement mode when a change in configuration occurs, and quickly adapt to the network configuration, thereby realizing power saving while not affecting the target measurement performance and mobility performance of the terminal.
[0039] 3 shows another schematic flow diagram of a method for adjusting monitoring behavior according to an embodiment of the present application. This method may be performed by a terminal, that is, the method may be performed by software or hardware installed on the terminal. As shown in FIG. 3, the method may include the following steps:

[0041] The step S301 performs the same steps as step S201 in FIG. 2 and can achieve the same or similar effects, and for the sake of brevity, will not be further described here.
[0042] In step S302, if at least one of the first conditions is satisfied, the first target operation is executed.
[0043] If at least one of the first conditions is met, indicating that a change in the configuration has occurred, the terminal may execute the first target operation.
[0044] The first condition is: A change occurs in the measurement parameters (for example, a rearrangement occurs in the measurement parameters, and the measurement parameters include a Bandwidth Part (BWP), a Reference Signal (RS), T310, N310, N311, BFI Max number, etc.); A change has occurred in the adjustment parameter (for example, a rearrangement has occurred in the adjustment parameter); and A change has occurred in the cell in which the terminal is located (which may include at least one of: a relocation has occurred in the cell in which the terminal is located; a synchronous relocation has occurred in the cell in which the terminal is located; a change in a primary cell (Pcell) in which the terminal is located; a cell change has occurred in a primary secondary cell (Pscell) in which the terminal is located; and a change in a secondary cell (Scell) in which the terminal is located).

[0045] In one embodiment, when the terminal performs counting or timing corresponding to a determination of whether to start the measurement adjustment or performs counting or timing corresponding to a determination of whether to end the measurement adjustment, specifically, for example, when the terminal is in measurement relaxation and makes a determination of measurement increase or normal measurement, or when the terminal is in measurement intensification and makes a determination of measurement relaxation or normal measurement, if the terminal determines that the first condition described above has occurred, it executes the first target operation, and the first target operation is Stopping counting and / or timing corresponding to the determination of whether to initiate the measurement adjustment (i.e., the terminal stops all or some of the counters and / or timers associated with the trigger conditions of the determination of whether to initiate the measurement adjustment); Stopping counting and / or timing corresponding to the determination of whether to terminate the measurement adjustment (i.e., the terminal stops all or some of the counters and / or timers associated with the trigger conditions of the determination of whether to terminate the measurement adjustment); restarting counts and / or timers corresponding to the determination of whether to initiate the measurement adjustment (i.e., the terminal restarts all or some of the counters and / or timers associated with the trigger conditions for the determination of whether to initiate the measurement adjustment); and restarting counting and / or timing corresponding to the determination of whether to terminate the measurement adjustment (i.e., the terminal restarts all or some of the counters and / or timers associated with the trigger conditions for the determination of whether to terminate the measurement adjustment).
[0046] In another embodiment, when the target measurement is measurement relaxation or measurement enhancement, the terminal executes the first target operation when it determines that the first condition as described above has occurred, and the first target operation includes: Stopping counting and / or timing corresponding to the determination of whether to initiate the measurement adjustment (i.e., the terminal stops all or some of the counters and / or timers associated with the trigger conditions of the determination of whether to initiate the measurement adjustment); Stopping counting and / or timing corresponding to the determination of whether to terminate the measurement adjustment (i.e., the terminal stops all or some of the counters and / or timers associated with the trigger conditions of the determination of whether to terminate the measurement adjustment); restarting counts and / or timers corresponding to the determination of whether to initiate the measurement adjustment (i.e., the terminal restarts all or some of the counters and / or timers associated with the trigger conditions for the determination of whether to initiate the measurement adjustment); restarting counts and / or timers corresponding to the determination of whether to terminate the measurement adjustment (i.e., the terminal restarts all or some of the counters and / or timers associated with the trigger conditions for the determination of whether to terminate the measurement adjustment); Backing off to the normal measurement (i.e., the terminal backs off from the relaxed measurement or the strengthened measurement to the normal measurement), No measurement relaxation, and not performing measurement enhancement.
[0047] In one embodiment, when the terminal performs the target measurements on multiple resources simultaneously, step S302 comprises: When simultaneously performing the target measurements on a plurality of resources, if a first resource of the plurality of resources satisfies at least one of the first conditions, performing the target operation on a second resource, wherein the second resource: One of the first resource, the plurality of resources, and some of the plurality of resources, where the some of the plurality of resources includes the first resource.

[0052] When the network side configures the measurement parameters and adjustment parameters of the target measurement to the terminal, it may not be able to accurately estimate the terminal state, including the moving speed, channel state, and the environment in which the terminal is located, and therefore it is not possible to accurately and dynamically configure appropriate measurement parameters and adjustment parameters to the terminal.

[0057] In one embodiment, the adjustment parameters are: A trigger condition for the measurement adjustment desired by the user (i.e., a preset rule, where the trigger condition or preset rule includes triggering measurement adjustment when the terminal determines that a predetermined condition is met. The predetermined condition may be a condition configured by the network side or a condition agreed upon by a protocol, and includes at least one of: a) when the terminal is located at the cell center (e.g., determined by comparing the measurement performance of the local cell and / or neighboring cells with a predetermined threshold); b) when the terminal's moving speed is relatively low (e.g., determined by the amount of change in the measurement performance of the local cell and / or neighboring cells with a predetermined threshold); and c) when the terminal detects some in-sync indications (IS) or out-of-sync indications (OOS) or beam failure instances (BFI), etc. Or, it is a preset condition agreed upon by another protocol). a counter threshold corresponding to a user-desired decision as to whether to start or end the measurement adjustment, and / or a timer threshold corresponding to a user-desired decision as to whether to start or end the measurement adjustment; and the measurement adjustment desired by the user (i.e., the method of target measurement that can be adjusted by the user).

[0060] In step S403, a measurement adjustment is performed on the target measurement based on the measurement parameters of the target measurement and the adjustment parameters.
[0061] The steps S402 and S403 perform the same steps as steps S201 and S203 in Figure 2, and achieve the same or similar effects, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be further described here. The step S401 may be performed after steps S402 and S403, and the embodiments of the present application will only be described with the example of step S401 being the preceding step.
