Method and user apparatus

Abstract

The presently disclosed embodiments relate to a communication method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium. A terminal device receives, in a connected state, configurations related to application layer measurements. The configurations include at least one of a set of measurement settings, a set of timer values, or a set of validity ranges. When the terminal device enters an idle state or an inactive state, the terminal device performs application layer measurements based on the configurations. In this way, it is possible to support application layer measurements in the idle state and the inactive state.

Claims

1. A method of communication for user equipment (UE), A Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message is received from a network device, which includes first configuration information for application layer measurement, the first configuration information including second configuration information for the application layer measurement applicable to idle and inactive states, and an instruction indicating whether the UE sends a notification when a measurement session in the application layer is started and stopped. The report of the application layer measurement is transmitted to the network device. method.

2. The first configuration information further includes the identity of the application layer measurement, The method according to claim 1.

3. The first configuration information further includes the service type, The method according to claim 1.

4. The second configuration information includes an instruction indicating whether the application layer measurement is used for signaling-based application layer measurement or for management-based application layer measurement. The method according to claim 1.

5. Furthermore, if the second setting information is not present in the settings for the application layer measurement, the setting is released when the idle state is entered. The method according to claim 1.

6. Furthermore, discard at least part of the report regarding application layer measurements. The method according to claim 1.

7. The first setting information includes an instruction indicating the region in which the application layer measurement should be performed, The instruction indicating the region includes at least one of a set of cell identities, a set of tracking region codes, and a set of tracking region identities. The method according to claim 1.

8. If the UE is outside the region, the application layer measurement is not started. The method according to claim 7.

9. The RRC layer of the UE is If the aforementioned UE moves from the area to outside the area, the higher layer of the aforementioned UE is notified, or When the aforementioned UE moves from outside the area to the area, the higher layer of the aforementioned UE is notified. Further including, The method according to claim 7.

10. The first setting information is not released when transitioning to an idle state. The method according to claim 1.

11. A method of communication for network devices, A Radio Resource Control (RRC) reset message is sent to the User Equipment (UE), which includes first configuration information for application layer measurement, which includes second configuration information for the application layer measurement applicable to idle and inactive states, and an instruction indicating whether the UE sends a notification when a measurement session in the application layer is started or stopped. method.

12. User equipment (UE), Means for receiving a Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message from a network device, which includes first configuration information for application layer measurement, comprising second configuration information relating to the application layer measurement applicable to idle and inactive states, and instructions indicating whether the UE sends a notification when a measurement session in the application layer is started and stopped. The system includes means for transmitting the application layer measurement report to the network device. UE.
