[0036] In the above embodiment, it is possible to clarify whether the terminal measures the serving cell and / or the neighboring cell when leaving the first state or after leaving the first state, thereby facilitating the measurement of the serving cell and / or the neighboring cell by the terminal when leaving the first state or after leaving the first state.

[0037] If the first transceiver (i.e., the main transceiver) of the terminal is awakened when leaving the first state, the embodiment of the present disclosure can determine that after the separate transceiver (i.e., the second transceiver) introduced by the main transceiver is awakened, the measurement of the serving cell and / or neighboring cell is clear.

[0038] In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes: receiving first information, wherein the first information is used by the terminal to determine a measurement mode.

[0039] In the above embodiment, the measurement mode of the terminal can be determined by receiving the first information sent by the network device; in this way, the network device can configure the measurement mode for the terminal.

[0040] In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the first state is at least one of the following:

[0365] In some embodiments, the above method may include the method described in the above-mentioned embodiments of the information processing system 100 side, the network device side, the terminal side, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0366] The present disclosure relates to an information processing method, which includes:

[0367] In some embodiments, the terminal determines a measurement method for neighboring cell measurements when leaving the first state.

[0368] Optionally, the first state is a state in which the terminal is relaxed in performing serving cell measurement or a state in which an independent transceiver is used to work.

[0369] Optionally, when the terminal is in the first state, the terminal is in a relaxed measurement state for the serving cell, that is, the primary transceiver does not measure the serving cell or measures the serving cell at longer time intervals.

[0370] Optionally, when the terminal is in the first state, the measurement of the neighboring cells is relaxed, that is, the terminal main transceiver does not measure the neighboring cells or measures at longer time intervals.

[0371] Optionally, the measurement relaxation may be the measurement relaxation in the previous embodiment; the independent transceiver may be the second transceiver in the previous embodiment; the main transceiver may be the first transceiver in the previous embodiment; and the measurement at a longer time interval may be the measurement at the first time interval in the previous embodiment.

[0372] Optionally, in the first state, the main transceiver is in a sleep state.

[0373] When the terminal leaves the first state, the terminal turns on or wakes up the main transceiver.

[0374] The following solution is used to determine how to measure neighboring cells after the terminal turns on or wakes up the main transceiver when leaving the first state. The neighboring cell measurement refers to the measurement of neighboring cells.

[0375] Solution 1: After the terminal turns on the main transceiver when leaving the first state, it will measure the neighboring cells (at this time, the relaxation criteria for neighboring cell measurement do not need to be considered).

[0376] In some embodiments, when the terminal leaves the first state, the primary transceiver is enabled to perform neighboring cell measurements. This means that there is no need to perform neighboring cell measurement relaxation criteria evaluation. Alternatively, even if a neighboring cell measurement relaxation criteria evaluation is performed, for example, even if the measured serving cell signal quality is sufficiently good, this result is ignored and the terminal is still required to perform neighboring cell measurements. For example, the terminal may perform intra-frequency, inter-frequency, or inter-system measurements.

[0377] Optionally, the terminal turns on a main transceiver to measure the serving cell and simultaneously turns on measurement of neighboring cells.

[0378] Optionally, if the previous neighboring cell measurement relaxation criteria are met, the neighboring cell measurement relaxation criteria will no longer be effective. For example, even if the neighboring cell measurement relaxation criteria are met before the terminal enters the first state and the neighboring cell measurement is stopped for 1 hour (including same-frequency, and / or low priority, and / or equal priority, and / or high priority different frequencies), when the terminal enters the first state; and then when the terminal leaves the first state, if the timer has not timed out, the neighboring cell measurement relaxation criteria will no longer be effective; the terminal will start measuring the neighboring cell.

[0379] Solution 2: After the terminal turns on the main transceiver when leaving the first state, the neighboring cell measurement operation depends on whether the neighboring cell measurement relaxation rule is still in effect. If so, the measurement is determined according to the neighboring cell measurement relaxation rule.

[0380] Optionally, if the previous neighboring area measurement relaxation criteria are met, the neighboring area measurement relaxation criteria will continue to be effective. For example, before the terminal enters the first state, the neighboring area measurement relaxation criteria are met for 1 hour, and the neighboring area measurement is stopped (including the same frequency, and / or low priority, and / or equal priority, and / or high priority different frequency). When the terminal enters the first state; then when the terminal leaves the first state, if the timer has not timed out, the neighboring area measurement relaxation criteria will continue to be effective; the terminal does not start measurement of the neighboring area.

[0381] Solution 3: After the terminal leaves the first state and turns on the primary transceiver, the neighboring cell measurement operation depends on the evaluation of the neighboring cell measurement relaxation criteria. As an embodiment, after waking up the primary transceiver, the terminal evaluates the neighboring cell measurement relaxation criteria to determine how to perform the measurement.

[0382] In some embodiments, when the terminal evaluates the relaxation criterion for neighbor cell measurement, it needs to consider the measurement result of the primary transceiver on the local area when the terminal leaves the first state as a comparison reference value.

[0383] Optionally, if the terminal needs to relax the low mobility criterion evaluation for neighboring cell measurement when leaving the first state: when the terminal leaves the first state, the current measurement result of the main transceiver on the serving cell is set as the comparison reference value.

[0384] For example, the relaxed measurement criterion for a low-mobility terminal is as follows in Embodiment 1; the relaxed measurement criterion for this mobility terminal can be a low-mobility criterion.

[0385] Embodiment 1: The relaxed measurement criterion for a low-mobility terminal. This terminal can be a RedCap terminal.

[0386] When (SrxlevRef – Srxlev) < ssearch deltap is satisfied, the relaxed measurement criterion for the low-mobility terminal is satisfied; where Srxlev is the signal reception strength of the serving cell (e.g., the SRX lev value (dB)); SrxlevRef is the reference signal reception strength of the serving cell (e.g., the Srxlev value (dB) or a comparison reference value. For example, after selecting or reselecting a new cell, or when the terminal leaves the first state, such as exiting ultra-deep sleep, or if (Srxlev – SrxlevRef) > 0, or if the predetermined time (T SearchDeltaP ) does not satisfy the relaxed measurement criterion for the low-mobility terminal, the terminal should set the value of SrxlevRef to the current Srxlev value of the serving cell, that is, set the current measurement value as the comparison reference value.

[0387] Optionally, when the terminal needs to evaluate the relaxed stationarity criterion for neighbor cell measurements when leaving the first state: when the terminal leaves the first state, set the current measurement result of the main transceiver for the serving cell as the comparison reference value. For example, the relaxed measurement criterion for a stationary terminal is as follows in Embodiment 2; the relaxed measurement criterion for this stationary terminal can be a stationary criterion.

[0388] Embodiment 2: The relaxed measurement criterion for a stationary terminal. This terminal can be a RedCap terminal.

[0389] When (SrxlevRefStationary – SRX lev) < ssearch deltap-Stationary is satisfied, the relaxed measurement criterion for low stationary terminals is satisfied; where Srxlev is the signal reception intensity of the serving cell (e.g., the Srxlev value (dB)) or a comparison reference value; SrxlevRefStationary is the reference signal reception intensity of the serving cell (e.g., the Srxlev value (dB)). For example, after selecting or reselecting a new cell, or when the terminal leaves the first state, such as exiting ultra-deep sleep, or if (Srxlev - SrxlevRefStationary) > 0, or if the predetermined time (TSearchDeltaP-Stationary) does not satisfy the relaxed measurement criterion for low stationary terminals, the terminal should set the value of SrxlevRefStationary to the current Srxlev value of the serving cell, that is, set the current measurement value as the comparison reference value.
