The present disclosure provides a processing method for the situation where "recording of location information of successful PSCell addition or modification is not supported" and provides an additional confirmation opportunity to ensure the success rate of the PSCell addition or modification.

[0044] In addition, the location information recording method for a successful report of a PS cell addition or modification provided by the following embodiment can distinguish between NR (New Radio) networks and EUTRA (Evolved UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) Terrestrial Radio Access Network), and can report a successful report of a PS cell addition or modification in an NR network and an EUTRA network, respectively.

[0045] FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a location information recording method for a successful report of PScell ​​addition or modification provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is performed by a terminal device.

The available location information is regarded as the location information of the terminal device.

[0048] As described above, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device can record the location information of the terminal device in response to a triggered report of successful PScell ​​addition or modification. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, if the terminal device determines that the terminal device has available location information, it records the available location information of the terminal device, thereby recording the location information of the terminal device when the PScell ​​addition or modification is successful, and further confirming the success of the PScell ​​addition or modification.

[0049] Figure 3 is a schematic flowchart of a location information recording method for a successful report of PScell ​​addition or modification provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is performed by a terminal device. As shown in Figure 3, the method may include the following steps:

[0050] In step 301, a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message sent by a network side device in response to a successful report of a PScell ​​addition or modification is received.

[0051] In step 302, after a successful PScell ​​addition or modification report is triggered in response to an RRC reconfiguration message, it is determined whether the RRC reconfiguration message includes location information indication information.

[0052] In step 303, in response to the RRC reconfiguration message including the location information indication information, determine whether the terminal device has available location information.

[0053] In step 304, in response to the terminal device having available location information, the available location information is recorded.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a Ratio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message indicates the addition or modification of a PSCell, and the terminal device can initiate the addition or modification of a PSCell and determine a success report of the addition or modification of a PSCell.

[0055] In addition, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, for Multi-Radio Dual Connectivity (MR-DC), a network side device can add or change a PSCell through an RRC reconfiguration message, where MR-DC includes Long Term Evolution (LTE)-new radio (NR) DC, NR-LTE DC, NR-NR DC, and LTE-LTE DC.

[0056] Illustratively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, after a terminal device initiates a PScell ​​addition or modification, if the terminal device determines that the PScell ​​addition or modification is successful, it determines a success report of the PScell ​​addition or modification.

[0057] For example, before configuring a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message for a successful PS cell addition or modification report, the network side device may obtain user consent, which may specifically be a user-defined feature (UPF) from the core network.

[0058] As described above, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device can record the location information of the terminal device in response to the triggering of a successful PScell ​​addition or modification report. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device performs an operation of recording the location information of the terminal device depending on whether the RRC reconfiguration message includes location information indication information, thereby recording the location information of the terminal device when the PScell ​​addition or modification is successful and further confirming the success of the PScell ​​addition or modification. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device can record the location information of the terminal device using different recording methods. The present disclosure provides a handling method for a situation where "recording of location information of successful PSCell addition or modification is not supported" and provides an additional confirmation opportunity to ensure the success rate of the PSCell addition or modification.

[0059] Figure 4 is a schematic flowchart of a location information recording method for a successful report of PScell ​​addition or modification provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is performed by a terminal device. As shown in Figure 4, the method may include the following steps:

[0060] In step 401, measurement configuration information sent from a network side device in response to a triggered PScell ​​addition or modification success report is received.

[0061] Here, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the measurement configuration information is a report configuration add / modify list (reportConfigToAddModList) in a measurement configuration information element (MeasConfig).

[0062] In step 402, in response to the measurement setting information including location measurement instruction information, record location information of the terminal device, where the location measurement instruction information includes at least one of include common location information (includeCommonLocationInfo), include Bluetooth measurement information (includeBT-Meas), include wireless local area network (WLAN) measurement information (includeWLAN-Meas), and include sensor measurement information (includeSensor-Meas).

[0064] Illustratively, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the success report of a PSCell addition or modification and the immediate Minimization of Drive-Test (MDT) reuse the same user consent.

[0065] As described above, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device can record the location information of the terminal device in response to a trigger of a successful PScell ​​addition or modification report. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device records the location information of the terminal device in response to the measurement configuration information transmitted from the network side device including location measurement instruction information, thereby recording the location information of the terminal device when the PScell ​​addition or modification is successful, and further confirming the success of the PScell ​​addition or modification. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device can record the location information of the terminal device using different recording methods. The present disclosure provides a handling method for a situation where "recording of location information of successful PSCell addition or modification is not supported" and provides an additional confirmation opportunity to ensure the success rate of the PSCell addition or modification.

[0066] Figure 5 is a schematic flowchart of a location information recording method for a successful report of PScell ​​addition or modification provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is performed by a terminal device. As shown in Figure 5, the method may include the following steps:

[0067] In step 501, an RRC reconfiguration message sent from a network side device is received in response to a triggered PScell ​​addition or modification success report.

[0068] In step 502, in response to an instruction to obtain a common location (obtainCommonLocation) being instructed in other configuration information (OtherConfig) in the RRC reconfiguration message, location information of the terminal device is recorded.

[0069] Here, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the message delivery location of other configuration information (OtherConfig) in the RRC reconfiguration message is different from the message delivery location where the location information indication information is located in the RRC reconfiguration message.

[0070] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when a terminal device receives an RRC reconfiguration message transmitted from a network side device, the terminal device can determine whether to record location information of the terminal device based on whether other configuration information (OtherConfig) in the RRC reconfiguration message indicates obtaining a common location (obtainCommonLocation). In response to the indication of obtaining CommonLocation in OtherConfig in the RRC reconfiguration message, the terminal device records the location information of the terminal device.

[0071] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, when recording the location information of the terminal device, the terminal device may determine whether there is Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) location information available for the terminal device. If there is no Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) location information available for the terminal device, the terminal device acquires GNSS location information. The terminal device records the GNSS location information and uses it as the location information of the terminal device.

[0072] As described above, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device can record the location information of the terminal device in response to a trigger of a successful PScell ​​addition or modification report. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device records the location information of the terminal device in response to an instruction to acquire a common location in other configuration information in an RRC reconfiguration message transmitted from a network side device, thereby recording the location information of the terminal device when the PScell ​​addition or modification is successful and further confirming the success of the PScell ​​addition or modification. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device can record the location information of the terminal device using different recording methods. The present disclosure provides a handling method for a situation in which "recording of location information of successful PSCell addition or modification is not supported" and provides an additional confirmation opportunity to ensure the success rate of the PSCell addition or modification.

[0073] Figure 6 is a schematic flowchart of a location information recording method for a successful report of PScell ​​addition or modification provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is performed by a terminal device. As shown in Figure 6, this method may include the following steps:

[0074] In step 601, if user consent is obtained by the terminal device in response to the triggering of a successful report of PScell ​​addition or modification, location information of the terminal device is obtained based on the user consent.

[0075] In step 602, the location information of the terminal device is recorded.

[0076] Here, the user virtual information acquired by the terminal device may specifically be user virtual information acquired by the terminal device itself, rather than user consent transmitted from the network-side device.

[0077] For example, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device may determine whether to acquire the location information of the terminal device, for example, according to a flag bit in the user virtual information. For example, if the terminal device determines that the flag bit in the user virtual information indicates recording location information, it may acquire the location information of the terminal device and record the location information of the terminal device.

[0078] As described above, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal device can record its location information in response to a triggered report of a successful PScell ​​addition or modification. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device obtains the location information of the terminal device based on user consent, thereby recording the location information of the terminal device when the PScell ​​addition or modification is successful, and further confirming the success of the PScell ​​addition or modification. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device can record the location information of the terminal device using different recording methods. The present disclosure provides a handling method for a situation in which "recording of location information of a successful PSCell addition or modification is not supported," and provides an additional confirmation opportunity to ensure the success rate of the PSCell addition or modification.

[0079] Figure 7 is a schematic flowchart of a location information recording method for a successful PScell ​​addition or modification report provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is performed by a network side device. As shown in Figure 7, the method may include the following steps:

[0080] In step 701, location information transmitted from a terminal device is received.

[0081] Here, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, before the step of receiving location information transmitted from the terminal device, the method further includes the steps of obtaining user virtual information (user consent) by a user-defined feature (UDF) in the core network, and in response to the user consent, transmitting an RRC reconfiguration message to the terminal device in response to a successful report of PScell ​​addition or modification, wherein the RRC reconfiguration message includes indication information of the location information.

[0082] Also, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method further includes a step of transmitting measurement setting information to the terminal device before the step of receiving location information transmitted from the terminal device, wherein the measurement setting information includes location measurement instruction information, and the location measurement instruction information includes at least one of include common location information (includeCommonLocationInfo), include Bluetooth measurement information (includeBT-Meas), include wireless local area network (WLAN) measurement information (includeWLAN-Meas), and include sensor measurement information (includeSensor-Meas).

[0083] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, before the step of receiving location information transmitted from the terminal device, the method further includes a step of transmitting an RRC reconfiguration message to the terminal device in response to a successful report of PScell ​​addition or modification, in which other configuration information (OtherConfig) in the RRC reconfiguration message indicates obtaining a common location (obtainCommonLocation).

[0084] As described above, in the location information recording method for a successful report of a PScell ​​addition or modification provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device can record the location information of the terminal device and then transmit the location information to a network-side device. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the network-side device can receive the location information of the terminal device transmitted from the terminal device and confirm whether the PSCell addition or modification was successful. The present disclosure provides a processing method for the situation where "recording of location information of a successful PSCell addition or modification is not supported" and provides an additional confirmation opportunity to ensure the success rate of the PSCell addition or modification.

[0085] Figure 8 is a schematic flowchart of a location information recording method for a successful PScell ​​addition or modification report provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is performed by a network side device. As shown in Figure 8, the method may include the following steps:

[0086] In step 801, user consent is obtained by a user-defined feature (UDF) in the core network.

[0087] In step 802, in response to user consent, an RRC reconfiguration message sent in response to a successful report of PScell ​​addition or modification is sent to the terminal device, where the RRC reconfiguration message includes location information indication information.

[0088] In step 803, location information transmitted from the terminal device is received.

[0089] Here, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, NR / LTE simultaneously supports condition-based PS cell addition and modification. The network side device can configure trigger events for an RRC reconfiguration message. Up to two trigger events can be configured. The network side device can transmit an RRC reconfiguration message to the terminal device.
