[0021] FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a wireless communication system that can be applied to an embodiment of the present invention. The wireless communication system may include a terminal (101) and a network-side device (102). The terminal (101) is also referred to as a terminal device, a receiver, or a User Equipment (UE). The terminal (101) may be a terminal-side device such as a mobile phone, a Tablet Personal Computer, a Laptop Computer or Notebook, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a Palmtop, a Netbook, an Ultra-Mobile Personal Computer (UMPC), a Mobile Internet Device (MID), a Vehicle-mounted Device (VUE), or a Pedestrian Terminal (PUE).

[0022] Hereinafter, with reference to the attached drawings, the user information transmission method, device, and terminal provided by the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0023] FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a user information transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, said method may be executed by a terminal, said terminal may specifically be the terminal (101) shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 2, said method may include the following steps. That is:

[0024] Step 201, if the preset conditions for transmitting user information are satisfied, the transmission of target user information is initialized.

[0025] Specifically, when a network is changed, such as through network handover, modification, or alteration, or when a system is changed, such as through system reset or reconfiguration, there is a very high probability that user information will not match between the terminal and the network. An embodiment of the present invention monitors the operation process of the network to check whether a preset condition is satisfied, and if the preset condition is satisfied, triggers the initialization of transmission of the target user information. The entity executing the embodiment of the present invention may be a terminal.

[0026] For example, in the case of a network handover, when the network handover is completed or after the network handover is completed, the terminal detects whether a preset condition is satisfied, and if satisfied, triggers a procedure to initialize the transmission of target user information accordingly. In this case, since the terminal has been handed over to a new cell base station, the transmission initialization procedure is actually the initialization of the transmission of target user information to the new cell base station.

[0027] The above-mentioned preset conditions are constraints based on the network's operating procedures. That is, the operation to initialize a transmission is constrained by the above constraints, and the transmission initialization procedure is triggered only when the said constraints are satisfied. Otherwise, the transmission initialization procedure is not triggered.

[0028] The above target user information is user information to be transmitted, and may be relevant user information that the terminal must report to the network side, relevant user information that the terminal must provide that the network side requires, or other user information of the terminal.

[0029] Alternatively, the above target user information may be at least one of the following information, namely: UE assistance information (UAI), Sidelink UE information (SL UE information), terminal capability information, temporary capability information, and configuration information requested by and reported by the terminal.

[0030] In an embodiment of the present invention, the method for uploading user information is applied to the determination of the validity and retransmission of user information reported by a terminal; the user information may include not only UAI or SL UE messages, but also terminal capabilities, temporary capabilities, terminal requests (e.g., system message requests, service-related configuration requests, RRC configuration requests, etc.) or configuration information reported by a terminal. For example, in LTE and NR systems, a terminal must transmit relevant auxiliary information to the network side to report the following to the network side: power saving, delay budget report, terminal overheating, the terminal does not want to transmit or receive data in the near future, whether reference time information is provided, and reporting of sidelink traffic patterns in frequencies affected by In Device Coexistence (IDC) or direct connection networks. The said auxiliary information includes DRX-related parameters, SCG configuration, number of Scell ​​configurations, integrated bandwidth, MIMO layer, minimum scheduling offset K0 / K2, RRC status (connected, inactive, idle mode), reference time, IDC interference frequency, or SL service information, and such information to be transmitted is called target user information.

[0031] In a user information transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, by setting and detecting a preset condition for transmitting user information, the transmission of target user information is initialized when the preset condition is satisfied, thereby effectively transmitting user information in cases such as network handover, reconfiguration, and reconfiguration, ensuring consistency between user information on the network side and the terminal side, and further improving the performance of the terminal.

[0032] Alternatively, the above preset condition may include a first preset condition, and correspondingly, if the first preset condition for transmitting user information is satisfied, the transmission of the target user information is initialized.

[0033] The above first preset condition is the following condition, i.e.:

[0034] If the transmission of user information is initialized before receiving the target message;

[0035] If the transmission of user information was initialized before receiving the above target message, and if the user information was not transmitted or was not successfully transmitted before receiving the above target message;

[0036] If the transmission of user information was initialized before a preset time prior to receiving the above target message, and the user information was not transmitted or was not successfully transmitted before receiving the above target message;

[0037] If the transmission of user information was initialized before receiving the above target message, and the user information was successfully transmitted before receiving the above target message;

[0038] It includes at least one of the cases where the transmission of user information was initialized before a preset time prior to receiving the target message, and the user information was successfully transmitted before receiving the target message.

[0039] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, a corresponding preset condition is set according to the transmission initialization of user information by the terminal before receiving a target message. One or any combination of the items listed above may be configured as the preset condition.

[0040] The user information related to the above transmission initialization may be the target user information of an embodiment of the present invention, may be part of the target user information, or may not be the target user information, and the embodiment of the present invention does not particularly limit this.

[0041] The above preset time is a preset time length, for example, 1 second. The above preset time length is related to the transmission initialization procedure of related user information.

[0042] The above target message refers to a notification or request message received prior to a change in the network or system. Depending on the change in the different network or system, the message may be a message transmitted by the network or generated by the terminal.

[0043] Alternatively, the target message may include a handover command, a synchronous reconfiguration message, a reconfiguration message, a reset message, a primary secondary cell change (Pscell chang) message, a primary secondary cell addition (PScell ​​addition) message, a primary secondary cell modification (PScell ​​modification) message, a secondary cell change (Scell ​​change) message, a secondary cell addition (Scell ​​addition) message, a secondary cell dormancy (Scell ​​dormancy) message, a secondary cell group deactivate (SCG Deactivate) message, a secondary cell group suspend (SCG suspend) message, or a secondary cell group dormancy (SCG dormancy) message.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present invention, for different changes occurring in a network or system, a notification or request message corresponding to said change may be set as a target message. For example, in a Dual Active Protocol Stack (DAPS) handover procedure, a handover command received by a terminal is used as a target message; in a synchronous reconfiguration network, a synchronous reconfiguration message received by a terminal is used as a target message; in a network where the primary secondary cell is changed, a primary secondary cell change message received by a terminal is used as a target message; and in a network where the primary secondary cell is modified, a primary secondary cell modification message is used as a target message.

[0045] The statement that the primary secondary cell is changed refers to a procedure in which the primary secondary cell is changed to another cell, such as a change in a PScell, for example, that is, a conversion from cell1 to cell2. The statement that the primary secondary cell is modified refers to a modification that occurs within the primary secondary cell; this is a modification within the same cell, for example, if the PScell ​​is not changed, the internal configuration or active state of the PScell ​​is changed.

[0046] Alternatively, the target user information includes related user information and / or other user information of the terminal; the related user information includes user information where the transmission is initialized or related to the transmission before receiving the target message.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the preset condition is satisfied, a transmission initialization procedure for target user information is triggered. The target user information may be user information for which transmission is initialized or is concerned with transmission before receiving the target message mentioned in the preset condition.

[0048] For example, in a DAPS handover procedure or a general handover (non-DAPS) procedure, if the terminal has initiated the transmission of User Auxiliary Information (UAI1) before receiving the target message, i.e., the handover command, the target User Information may point to UAI1. Additionally, the target User Information may be other User Information of the terminal unrelated to UAI1, such as UAI2, UAI3, or other types of User Information such as temporary capabilities, terminal requests, etc. The UAI1 may be a reduced maximum MIMO layer, UAI2 may be a DRX parameter having a similar function, and may be other UAI Information excluding the MIMO layer, such as an IDC interference frequency.

[0049] Alternatively, the step of initializing the transmission of the above-mentioned target user information is, specifically,

[0050] A step of initializing the transmission of the above-mentioned related user information and / or other user information of the terminal;

[0051] Alternatively, it includes the step of retransmitting the relevant user information.

[0052] Specifically, regarding the transmission initialization of target user information when a preset condition is satisfied, different transmission procedures may be triggered depending on the type of target user information of the above embodiment. A transmission initialization procedure may be executed for the relevant user information and / or other user information of the terminal. Since transmission initialization was already performed for the relevant user information before receiving the target message, retransmission is required here; that is, transmission initialization refers to retransmitting the relevant user information.

[0053] Alternatively, the step of initializing the transmission of the target user information specifically includes, in a corresponding cell, the step of initializing the transmission of the relevant user information and / or other user information of the terminal, or retransmitting the relevant user information.

[0054] Specifically, an embodiment of the present invention limits the location where target user information is uploaded. That is, the terminal initializes the transmission of the relevant user information and / or other user information of the terminal at the corresponding cell, or retransmits the relevant user information.

[0055] The above-mentioned corresponding cell can be understood as the cell, node, or base station where the terminal is located, i.e., the terminal's current serving cell, after the change process corresponding to the above-mentioned target message is completed.For example, in the case of a DAPS handover procedure, the corresponding cell refers to the target cell after the handover is successful; PScell ​​change refers to the cell where the terminal is located after the change; if the corresponding target message is a handover command or a process of synchronously reconstructing a message, the corresponding cell refers to the target cell after the handover; if the corresponding target message is a process of reconstructing a message, the corresponding cell refers to the current cell after the reconstruction is completed; if the corresponding target message is a process of resetting a message, the corresponding cell refers to the current cell after the resetting is completed; if the corresponding target message is a process where a primary secondary cell modifies a message, the corresponding cell refers to the primary secondary cell located after the modification is completed; if the corresponding target message is a process where a primary secondary cell adds a message, the corresponding cell refers to the primary secondary cell located after the addition is completed; if the corresponding target message is a process where a primary secondary cell modifies a message, the corresponding cell refers to the primary secondary cell located after the modification is completed; If the corresponding target message is a process in which a secondary cell modifies a message, the corresponding cell refers to the secondary cell located after the modification is completed; if the corresponding target message is a process in which a secondary cell adds a message, the corresponding cell refers to the primary cell located after the addition is completed; if the corresponding target message is a process in which a secondary cell puts a message to sleep, the corresponding cell refers to the serving cell located after the sleep is completed; if the corresponding target message is a process in which a secondary cell group deactivates a message, the corresponding cell refers to the serving cell located after the deactivation is completed; and if the corresponding target message is a process in which a secondary cell group suspends a message or puts a message to sleep, the corresponding cell refers to the serving cell located after the suspension or sleep is completed.

[0056] Taking the above embodiment as an example, assuming the target user information is terminal auxiliary information (UAI), the preset condition is the following condition, i.e.:

[0057] If the terminal initializes the transmission of a UAI message before receiving a synchronous reconfiguration or handover command or a reconfiguration message or a reset message;

[0058] If the terminal initializes the transmission of a UAI message before receiving Pscell change, PScell ​​addition, PScell ​​modification, Scell ​​change, Scell ​​addition, Scell ​​dormancy, SCG Deactivate, SCG suspend, or SCG dormancy;

[0059] Before the terminal receives the above message, it initializes the transmission of the UAI message, and if the UAI message was not transmitted or was not successfully transmitted before receiving the above message, the above message is the message received in the first and second messages;

[0060] A situation in which the terminal initializes the transmission of a UAI message outside of a preset time prior to receiving the above message, and the UAI message was not transmitted or was not successfully transmitted before receiving the above message, because transmission is generally performed after initialization, there may exist cases where the transmission was initialized before the preset time but was not transmitted or was not successfully transmitted thereafter;

[0061] If the terminal initializes the transmission of the UAI message before receiving the above message, and successfully transmits the UAI message before receiving the above message;

[0062] It includes at least one of the cases where the terminal initializes the transmission of a UAI message other than a preset time before receiving the message, and successfully transmits the UAI message before receiving the message.

[0063] An embodiment of the present invention can reflect changes in the terminal's user information by setting a preset condition based on the transmission initialization of user information performed by the terminal before receiving a target message, thereby helping to make a more reliable transmission initialization or retransmission decision.

[0064] In addition, for each condition among the preset conditions in the above embodiment, the transmission initialization or transmission occurrence time may be additionally limited.

[0065] Alternatively, the step of initializing the transmission of user information before receiving the target message specifically includes the step of initializing the transmission of user information within the preset time prior to receiving the target message;

[0066] or,

[0067] The step of user information not being transmitted or not being successfully transmitted before receiving the target message specifically includes the step of user information not being transmitted or not being successfully transmitted before the preset time prior to receiving the target message;

[0068] or,

[0069] The step of user information not being transmitted or not being successfully transmitted before receiving the target message specifically includes the step of user information not being transmitted or not being successfully transmitted before the preset time prior to receiving the target message;

[0070] or,

[0071] The step of successfully transmitting user information before receiving the target message specifically includes the step of successfully transmitting user information within the preset time prior to receiving the target message;

[0072] or,

[0073] The step of successfully transmitting user information before receiving the target message specifically includes the step of successfully transmitting user information within the preset time prior to receiving the target message.

[0074] Specifically, an embodiment of the present invention specifically limits the occurrence time of user information transmission under preset conditions. For example, specifically limiting means initializing the transmission of user information within a preset time prior to receiving a target message. That is, the time at which the transmission of user information is initialized is earlier than the time at which the target message is received, and the time difference between the time at which the target message is received and the time at which the transmission of user information is initialized is smaller than the preset time.

[0075] Likewise, regarding cases where user information is not transmitted or is not successfully transmitted, it is limited to cases where the user information was not transmitted or was not successfully transmitted prior to the preset time prior to receiving the target message. That is, the time at which the user information was not transmitted or was not successfully transmitted must be earlier than the time at which the target message was received, and the time difference between the time at which the target message was received and the time at which the user information was not transmitted or was not successfully transmitted must be longer than the preset time.

[0076] Among the above items, "or" indicates that each of the above items may be one of them or any combination of several items, and embodiments of the present invention do not specifically limit this.

[0077] Still, the UAI information of the above embodiment, for example, additionally restricts the time at which transmission occurs during preset conditions, and restricts it to at least one of the following items. That is:

[0078] Additionally, the terminal is restricted to initializing the transmission of a UAI message within a preset time before receiving a synchronization configuration or handover command or a reconfiguration message or a reset message, where "within" indicates that the time difference between the two is smaller than the preset time;

[0079] The terminal is additionally restricted to initializing the transmission of a UAI message within a preset time prior to receiving Pscell change, PScell ​​addition, PScell ​​modification, Scell ​​change, Scell ​​addition, Scell ​​dormancy, SCG Deactivate, SCG suspend, or SCG dormancy;

[0080] The terminal additionally restricts the UAI message to not have transmitted it or not successfully transmitted it, except for a preset time prior to receiving the message, and indicates that the time difference between reception and transmission is longer than the preset time.

[0081] The terminal additionally restricts the case to the point where it did not transmit the UAI message or failed to transmit it successfully, except for a preset time prior to receiving the message;

[0082] The terminal additionally limits the successful transmission of the UAI message within a preset time prior to receiving the message;

[0083] The terminal additionally limits the successful transmission of the UAI message within a preset time prior to receiving the above message.

[0084] An embodiment of the present invention can effectively maintain consistency between user information on the network side and the terminal side by effectively avoiding retransmission and omitted transmission of user information by additionally limiting the time for initializing the transmission of user information.

[0085] Alternatively, the above preset time is the following procedure, i.e.:

[0086] Relevant preparation steps of the procedure corresponding to the above target message;

[0087] It is determined according to at least one of the user information transmission procedures, and the user information transmission procedure is,

[0088] Initialization procedure for transmission, or,

[0089] Includes the initialization procedure and transmission procedure of the transmission.

[0090] The initialization procedure of the above transmission includes at least one of a parameter initialization procedure, a parameter loading procedure, and an information transmission procedure to a lower layer;

[0091] Alternatively, the above transmission procedure includes a procedure for transmitting information from a lower layer to the network side and / or a retransmission procedure.

[0092] Specifically, an embodiment of the present invention sets the preset time according to one or more steps of initializing a user information transmission procedure. The preset time may be configured by the network side or specified by a protocol, and may be, for example, 1 second.

[0093] Each of the above steps includes a relevant preparation step of a procedure corresponding to a target message and a user information transmission procedure, and additionally, the user information transmission procedure may be a separate transmission initialization procedure or a transmission initialization procedure and a transmission procedure.

[0094] For example, in the case where the UAI information of the above embodiment is transmitted in the DAPS handover procedure, the target message refers to a handover command, the procedure corresponding to the target message is the DAPS handover procedure, and the relevant preparation step of the procedure corresponding to the target message is the handover preparation step in the DAPS handover procedure. The handover preparation step includes a procedure in which the source node initiates a handover request to the target node and the target node responds with an ACK message.

[0095] The procedure for transmitting user information refers to the procedure for transmitting UAI messages, and the transmission procedure specifically includes at least one of the following:

[0096] a) includes at least one of the procedures for initiating transmission, i.e., the procedure for initializing parameters, the procedure for loading a message into signaling radio bearers (SRBs), and the procedure for delivering the corresponding message to lower layers.

[0097] b) Transmission procedure, that is, a procedure in which the lower layer transmits and / or retransmits UAI messages to the network side.

[0098] Since the transmission procedure naturally occurs after the initialization procedure, the preset time can be determined independently based on the transmission initialization procedure, or the preset time can be determined based on the entire processing procedure from the transmission initialization procedure to the actual transmission procedure.

[0099] Also, for example, in the case of transmitting an SL UE message, the preset time is determined according to the procedure for transmitting the SL UE message. The procedure for transmitting the above SL UE message is the following procedure, namely:

[0100] a) includes at least one of the procedures for initiating transmission, namely, initializing parameters, loading a message into an SRB, and transmitting a corresponding message to lower layers.

[0101] b) a transmission procedure, i.e., a procedure in which the lower layer transmits and / or retransmits an SL UE message to the network side; at least one of these is included.

[0102] An embodiment of the present invention determines a preset time according to the transmission procedure of related user information, so that the determined preset time is more in accordance with the transmission procedure of related user information, thereby effectively improving transmission efficiency and effectively preventing inconsistency in information.

[0103] Additionally, the above preset condition further includes a second preset condition, and accordingly, if the first preset condition for transmitting user information is satisfied and the second preset condition for transmitting user information is satisfied simultaneously, the transmission of the target user information is initialized.

[0104] Specifically, an embodiment of the present invention may trigger the initialization of transmission of target user information when a first preset condition is satisfied alone, and may also trigger the initialization of transmission of target user information only when a second preset condition is satisfied on the basis of satisfying the first preset condition.

[0105] Alternatively, the second preset condition is the following condition, namely:

[0106] When the terminal is configured by the network to provide the above target user information;

[0107] In the case where the target user information of the terminal is changed; at least one of the above is included.

[0108] An embodiment of the present invention detects whether a second preset condition is satisfied based on satisfying a first preset condition. Specifically, the second preset condition may be a setting requirement of the network side, that is, the network side may be configured to have the terminal provide target user information; or, the target user information of the terminal may be changed; or, it may be a combination of the two, that is, the network side is configured to have the terminal provide such target user information at the same time that the corresponding target user information of the terminal is changed.

[0109] For example, in the case of transmitting UAI information, the second preset condition may include at least one of the following:

[0110] The network is configured to allow the terminal to provide UAI information;

[0111] In addition, the network can be configured so that the terminal provides a UAI message related to the above-mentioned preset conditions.

[0112] The fact that the terminal's UAI message has not changed can be understood as retransmission being triggered solely by the first preset condition. Alternatively, the fact that the terminal's UAI message has not changed or that the corresponding user information has not changed is implicitly included in the first preset condition.

[0113] The fact that the terminal's UAI message is changed can be understood as retransmission being triggered only when the change in the UAI message and the first preset condition are simultaneously satisfied.

[0114] Alternatively, the step of configuring the terminal to provide the target user information by the network side specifically includes the step of configuring the terminal to provide the target user information in a corresponding cell by the network side.

[0115] Specifically, an embodiment of the present invention specifically limits the location of the network side in the step in which the terminal is configured to provide target user information by the network side in the above embodiment. That is, the network side is specifically configured to have the terminal provide target user information in a corresponding cell.

[0116] The corresponding cell above refers to the cell, node, or base station where the terminal is located after the change corresponding to the target message is completed. For example, in a DAPS handover procedure, the corresponding cell refers to the target cell after the handover is successful, and the PScell ​​change refers to the cell where the terminal is located after the change. For examples of other types of target user information transmission, the above embodiments may be referenced and are not described repeatedly here.

[0117] Additionally, the step of initializing the transmission of the target user information includes the step of initializing the transmission of the target user information after a set time or at a set time.

[0118] Specifically, embodiments of the present invention are limited to triggering the transmission initialization of target user information at a specific time (when) or after said specific time (after). That specific time may be called a set time.

[0119] Alternatively, the time set above is the next time, i.e.:

[0120] Handover successfully completed, synchronous reconfiguration, reconfiguration, reset, primary secondary cell change (Pscell change), primary secondary cell addition (PScell ​​addition), primary secondary cell modification (PScell ​​modification), secondary cell change (Scell ​​change), secondary cell addition (Scell ​​addition), secondary cell dormancy (Scell ​​dormancy), secondary cell group deactivation (SCG Deactivate), secondary cell group suspend (SCG suspend) or secondary cell group dormancy (SCG dormancy) time;

[0121] Time when the target node or cell was successfully accessed;

[0122] It includes at least one of the time at which the random access procedure (RACH) was successfully completed. That is, the time at which the random access procedure (RACH) was successfully completed.
