[0035] The event configuration method, terminal, and network-side device provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0036] FIG2 is one of the flowcharts of the method for configuring combined events provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG2 , the method for configuring combined events includes step 201 and step 202 .

[0037] Step 201: The terminal receives first configuration information sent by a network-side device, where the first configuration information is used to indicate configuration of a combination event by the network-side device.

[0038] The combination event refers to an event that is a combination of a first event and a second event, the first event is an event that is highly relevant to the terminal, and the second event is an event related to mobility management.

[0039] Optionally, the terminal can be an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, unmanned combat aircraft, or a bee-shaped aircraft. In a broad sense, it refers to various remote-controlled aircraft that do not require a driver. The following application is explained using the terminal as an example of a UAV, but the terminal in this application is not limited to this.

[0040] Interference issues for UAV UEs are primarily caused by their high flight altitudes. Therefore, LTE introduces events H1 and H2, which are related to terminal altitude. Event H1 occurs when the UE's altitude exceeds the configured altitude threshold 1, and H2 occurs when the UE's altitude falls below the configured altitude threshold 2. When a UE enters event H1 or H2, it triggers measurement result reporting. The reported measurement results may include: the measurement result corresponding to the measurement identifier measID; the UE's altitude; and, if instructed by the network, the UE may also report its location information.

[0041] It should be noted that, given that the terminal in the network needs to measure not only the co-frequency and inter-frequency neighboring cells of the serving cell, it may also need to measure the heterogeneous system (neighboring cell); in order to simplify the identification of the neighboring cells in the measurement and reporting process, the measurement object is associated with the reporting configuration and identified by the measurement identity (measID). Each cell has a measurement identity list, and one measurement object in each measurement identity is associated with one measurement report. By configuring multiple measurement identities, multiple measurement objects can be linked to the same reporting configuration, and multiple reporting configurations can also be linked to the same measurement object. The measurement results can be reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), and the available signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) of the serving cell.

[0042] The network side device can perform corresponding interference avoidance / resolving measures based on the measurement report reported by the terminal. When leaving event H1 or H2, the terminal deletes the corresponding measurement result.

[0043] During the period between the terminal entering and leaving event H1 / H2, the UE may continuously report according to the configured reporting interval and reporting times.

[0044] The entering and leaving conditions of events H1 and H2 are as follows:

[0045] Conditions for entering Event H1 (entering H1 when the value is higher than a certain value): Ms-Hys>Thresh+Offset

[0046] Conditions for leaving Event H1 (leaving H1 when the value is lower than a certain value): Ms+Hys<Thresh+Offset

[0047] Conditions for entering event H2 (entering H2 when the value is lower than a certain value): Ms+Hys<Thresh+Offset

[0048] Conditions for leaving event H2 (leaving H2 if the value is higher than a certain value): Ms-Hys>Thresh+Offset

[0049] Ms is the measurement result; Hys is the hysteresis factor used to avoid the ping-pong effect caused by signal fluctuations; Thresh is the common altitude reference point for events H1 and H2; network-side devices can also be configured with different Hys and offsets for events H1 and H2.

[0050] Optionally, the first event may be an event that is highly relevant to the terminal, or may be an event formed by combining multiple different highly relevant events.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the first event may be event H1, or event H2, or a combination of events H1 and H2.

[0052] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the entry condition of the combination of events H1 and H2 is satisfied means that the entry conditions of H1 and H2 are both satisfied, and the exit condition of the combination of events H1 and H2 is satisfied means that the exit condition of H1 or H2 is satisfied.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, mobility management related events include events A3 / A4 / A5, or enhanced A3 / A4 / A5 events. The entry conditions and exit conditions of events A3 / A4 / A5 are as follows:

[0054] The A3 event indicates that the neighboring cell is better than the serving cell. The entry and exit conditions of the A3 event are:

[0055] Entry condition: Mn+Ofn+Ocn–Hys>Mp+Ofp+Ocp+Off;

[0056] Departure conditions: Mn+Ofn+Ocn+Hys <Mp+Ofp+Ocp+Off;

[0057] Where Mn is the neighboring cell measurement result, Mp is the serving cell measurement result; Ofn and Ocn are the offsets configured by the neighboring cell parameter (offsetMO), Ofp and Ocp are the offsets configured by the serving cell parameter (cellIndividualOffset); Off is the offset configured by the A3 event (a3-Offset). Hys is the hysteresis factor.

[0058] The A4 event indicates that the neighboring cell's exit threshold is higher than the threshold. The entry and exit conditions of the A4 event are:

[0059] Entry conditions: Mn+Ofn+Ocn–Hys>Thresh

[0060] Departure conditions: Mn+Ofn+Ocn+Hys <Thresh

[0061] Among them, Mn: measurement results of neighboring cells, without considering any offset; Ofn: measurement object specific offset of neighboring cells (i.e., offsetMO defined in measObjectNR corresponding to neighboring cells); Ocn: measurement object specific offset of neighboring cells (i.e., cellIndividualOffset defined in measObjectNR corresponding to neighboring cells), which is set to zero if not configured for neighboring cells; Hys: hysteresis parameter of this event (hysteresis defined in reportConfigNR of this event); Thresh: threshold parameter of this event (A4-Threshold defined in reportConfigNR of this event).

[0062] The A5 event indicates that the serving cell is lower than the neighboring cell threshold by 1, and the neighboring cell is higher than the serving cell threshold by 2. The entry and exit conditions of the A5 event are:

[0063] Entry conditions:

[0064] Mp+Hys <Thresh1;

[0065] Mn+Ofn+Ocn–Hys>Thresh2;

[0066] Departure conditions:

[0067] Mp–Hys>Thresh1

[0068] Mn+Ofn+Ocn+Hys <Thresh2。

[0069] In order to solve the above-mentioned interference problem of UAVs without increasing the signaling overhead of excessive measurement reports, LTE has also enhanced the RRM (Radio Resource Management) measurements triggered by events A3, A4, and A5. The network will configure numberOfTriggeringCells for event A3, A4, and A5. When the number of cells entering the event is greater than or equal to numberOfTriggeringCells, the UE triggers measurement reporting. For A4, A5 also defines a4-a5-ReportOnLeave (which A3 originally had), which indicates whether the UE initiates measurement reporting for a cell in the cell trigger list cellsTriggeredList when the leave condition is met.

[0070] Optionally, the second event is a mobility management related event.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, the second event may be event A3 (enhanced event A3), or event A4 (enhanced event A4), or event A5 (enhanced event A5).

[0072] The combination of the first event and the second event forms a new event type, called a combined event. The introduction of the combined event can effectively reduce the signaling overhead of measurement report reporting.

[0073] Optionally, the network side device sends the first configuration information to the terminal through dedicated signaling, and the terminal receives the first configuration information sent by the network side device through dedicated signaling. The dedicated signaling can be radio resource control (RRC), media access control layer control unit (MAC CE) signaling, etc.

[0074] The first configuration information is used to instruct the network side device to configure the combined event, thereby realizing the configuration of the combined event.

[0075] Step 202: The terminal performs measurement and determines whether to submit a measurement report based on the first configuration information and whether an entry condition or an exit condition of the combined event is satisfied during the measurement process.

[0076] After the terminal receives the first configuration information, it can obtain the configuration of the combined event by the network side device according to the first configuration information, so that during the measurement process, it can determine whether the entry condition of the combined event is met, whether the exit condition of the combined event is met, whether the value of reportOnLeave is true, or whether the number of cells in the cell trigger list corresponding to the combined event meets the cell number threshold, and then determine whether to perform measurement reporting.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present application, by receiving the first configuration information sent by the network side device, the configuration of the combined event by the network side device is obtained. The combined event is a combined event composed of an event that is highly relevant to the terminal and an event related to mobility management. The terminal then performs measurement and determines whether to perform measurement reporting based on whether the entry condition and exit condition of the combined event are met during the measurement process or whether the number of cells in the cell trigger list corresponding to the combined event meets the cell number threshold. This can achieve measurement report reporting for the combined event formed by an event that is highly relevant to the terminal and an event related to mobility management only when the conditions for measurement report reporting are met, thereby reducing the interference received by the terminal and reducing the signaling overhead of measurement report reporting.

[0078] In some embodiments, the first configuration information includes at least one of the following: 1) type information of at least one combination event; 2) a threshold value of the number of cells that triggers measurement report reporting corresponding to each of the combination events.

[0079] The network-side device configures at least one combination event type information. This combination event type information allows the terminal to learn the specific type of the combination event, as well as parameters related to the entry / exit conditions and measurement reporting for the combination event. For example, a combination event is formed by combining the first event H1 and the second event A4, and the combination event is H1A4. The network-side device can configure parameters in the entry / exit conditions of H1A4, measurement reporting parameters such as those related to the conditions that trigger measurement reporting, the measurement report corresponding to the event, the reporting interval, and the number of uploads.

[0080] Optionally, the network side device configures a numberOfTriggeringCells for each combined event, where numberOfTriggeringCells is a threshold value of the number of cells that triggers the reporting of the measurement report, referred to as the cell number threshold.

[0081] Optionally, each combined event corresponds to a measurement identifier measID, and each measID maintains a cellsTriggeredList and numberOfTriggeringCells. cellsTriggeredList is a cell trigger list maintained locally in the terminal, and numberOfTriggeringCells is configured by the network side device.

[0082] When a cell meets the entry condition of the combined event, the cell is added to cellsTriggeredList. When the number of cells in cellsTriggeredList is greater than or equal to numberOfTriggeringCells, measurement reporting is triggered. When a cell meets the exit condition of the combined event, the cell is removed from cellsTriggeredList.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal obtains type information of at least one combined event configured by the network side device by receiving the first configuration information, and optionally obtains the cell quantity threshold corresponding to each combined event, so as to determine the entry condition and exit condition of the combined event, the condition for triggering measurement reporting, etc., thereby effectively reducing the measurement reporting overhead.

[0084] In some embodiments, for each binding event, the type information of the binding event includes at least one of the following:

[0085] a) hysteresis factors, including a hysteresis factor of the first event and a hysteresis factor of the second event;

[0086] That is, for the first event and the second event, the network-side device configures corresponding hysteresis factors (Hysteresis) respectively.

[0087] b) threshold values, including a threshold value of the first event and a threshold value of the second event;

[0088] For the first event and the second event, the network-side device configures corresponding threshold values ​​respectively.

[0089] The terminal may determine the entry condition and the exit condition of the binding event based on the hysteresis factor and the threshold value.

[0090] c) Time to trigger (TTT), where the trigger hold time is used to indicate that a measurement report is triggered when the entry condition of the combination event is met and the duration is greater than or equal to the trigger hold time;

[0091] If the entry conditions of the combined event are met, the TTT timer is started. Within the TTT allowed time, the entry conditions of the combined event are always met, or the entry conditions of any one of the first event and the second event are always met, or the entry conditions of the specific event in the first event and the second event indicated by the network side device are always met, then the measurement report is triggered.

[0092] It can be understood that if the entry condition of the combined event is met and the duration of meeting the entry condition is less than the trigger holding time, the measurement report will not be triggered.

[0093] d) The value of reportOnLeave, which is used to indicate whether to initialize the measurement reporting process when the leaving condition of the combined event is met.

[0094] When the value of reportOnLeave is True, when the leaving condition of the combined event is met, the measurement reporting process is initialized, that is, measurement reporting is performed; when the value of reportOnLeave is False, when the leaving condition of the combined event is met, measurement reporting is not triggered.

[0095] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal can obtain at least one of the hysteresis factor, threshold value, trigger holding time, and reportOnLeave value by combining the type information of the event, so as to determine the entry condition and exit condition of the combined event, as well as the condition for triggering the measurement report reporting, thereby effectively reducing the interference to the terminal and reducing the overhead of measurement report reporting.

[0096] Optionally, the entry condition of the combined event includes: the entry condition of the first event and the entry condition of the second event are satisfied at the same time.

[0097] For example, for the combined event Event A4H1, it can be written as Ms–Hys1>H1-Threshold+Offset&Mn+Ofn+Ocn–a4-hysteresis>a4-Threshold;

[0098] For another example, the combined event Event A4H1H2 can be written as: H1-Threshold+Hys1+offsetH1 <Ms<H2-Threshold–Hys2+OffsetH2&Mn+Ofn+Ocn–a4-hysteresis> a4-Threshold.

[0099] It can be understood that only when the entry conditions of the first event and the second event are met at the same time can it be said that the entry condition of the combined event is met.

[0100] In the embodiment of the present application, only when the entry conditions of the first event and the second event are met at the same time, is it considered that the entry condition of the combined event is met, which can effectively reduce the overhead of measurement report reporting.

[0101] Optionally, the exit condition of the binding event includes at least one of the following:

[0102] a) The exit condition of the first event and the exit condition of the second event are simultaneously met;

[0103] For example, for the combined event Event A4H1, its leaving condition can be written as: Ms+Hys1

[0104] For another example, for the combined event Event A4H1H2, its exit condition can be written as: H2-Threshold+Hys2+offsetH1 <Ms

[0105] b) the exit condition of any one of the first event and the second event is met;

[0106] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, if any event constituting the combined event satisfies the leaving condition, it is considered that the leaving condition of the combined event is satisfied.

[0107] c) the exit condition of a first specific event among the first event and the second event is satisfied;

[0108] It can be understood that when the exit condition of the first specific event is satisfied, it is considered that the exit condition of the combined event is satisfied.

[0109] The first specific event is configured by the network side device or agreed upon by the protocol.

[0110] In the embodiment of the present application, multiple scenarios combining the leaving conditions of an event are provided, which can effectively reduce the overhead of reporting the measurement report.

[0111] Optionally, the trigger holding time is used to indicate that, when the entry condition is met and the duration is greater than or equal to the trigger holding time, triggering measurement report reporting includes at least one of the following:

[0112] ​​a) after the entry conditions of the first event and the second event are both met, if the entry conditions of the first event and the second event are always met within the trigger holding time, triggering measurement report reporting or adding the first cell to the cell trigger list corresponding to the combined event, wherein the first cell is a neighbor cell that meets the entry conditions of the first event and the second event;

[0113] In one embodiment, after the entry conditions of the first event and the second event are both met, if the entry conditions of the first event and the second event are always met within the trigger holding time, the measurement report is triggered.

[0114] In another optional embodiment, after the entry conditions of the first event and the second event are met, if the entry conditions of the first event and the second event are always met within the trigger holding time, the first cell is added to the cell trigger list corresponding to the combined event, and when the number of cells in the cell trigger list is greater than or equal to the cell number threshold corresponding to the combined event, the terminal performs measurement report reporting.

[0115] b) after the entry conditions of the first event and the second event are both met, if the entry conditions of either of the first event and the second event are always met within the trigger holding time, triggering measurement report reporting or adding the first cell to the cell trigger list corresponding to the combined event, wherein the first cell is a neighbor cell that meets the entry conditions of either of the first event and the second event;

[0116] In one embodiment, after the entry conditions of the first event and the second event are both met, if the entry condition of any one of the first event and the second event is always met within the trigger holding time, the measurement report is triggered.

[0117] In another optional embodiment, after the entry conditions of the first event and the second event are met, if the entry conditions of any one of the first event and the second event are always met within the trigger holding time, the first cell is added to the cell trigger list corresponding to the combined event, and when the number of cells in the cell trigger list is greater than or equal to the cell number threshold corresponding to the combined event, the terminal performs measurement report reporting.

[0118] c) after the entry conditions of the first event and the second event are both met, if the entry condition of the second specific event among the first event and the second event is always met within the trigger holding time, triggering measurement report reporting or adding the first cell to the cell trigger list corresponding to the combined event, wherein the first cell is a neighbor cell that meets the entry condition of the second specific event;

[0119] In one embodiment, after the entry conditions of the first event and the second event are both met, if the entry conditions of the second specific event are always met within the trigger holding time, then a measurement report is triggered. The second specific event is configured by the network side device or agreed upon by the protocol.

[0120] In another optional embodiment, after the entry conditions of the first event and the second event are met, if the entry conditions of the first event and the second event are always met within the trigger holding time, the first cell is added to the cell trigger list corresponding to the combined event, and when the number of cells in the cell trigger list is greater than or equal to the cell number threshold corresponding to the combined event, the terminal performs measurement report reporting.

[0121] The embodiment is described in detail below through two specific examples.

[0122] Example 1, combining the addition of cells to cellsTriggeredList in the event and the triggering of the measurement report, includes the following steps:

[0123] Step 1: The UE receives first configuration information through dedicated signaling. The first configuration information includes event-related configuration, such as Event A4H1 configured by the network side in ReportConfigNR and the corresponding numberOfTriggeringCells;

[0124] Step 2: The UE performs measurement. During the measurement process, cell 1, cell 2, and cell 3 meet the entry conditions of Event A4H1. The TTT timer is started. During the TTT timer, both Event A4 and Event H1 always meet the entry conditions.

[0125] Step 3: The UE adds the corresponding measurement report to the measurement report list VarMeasReportList for the corresponding measurement identifier measID, and at the same time, the UE adds cell1, cell2 and cell3 to the corresponding cellsTriggeredList under the corresponding measID;

[0126] Step 4: When the UE determines that the number of cells in cellsTriggeredList is greater than or equal to numberOfTriggeringCells corresponding to Event A4H1, the UE reports a measurement report.

[0127] Example 2: The network indicates that a specific event has occurred and lasted for TTT, triggering measurement result reporting, including the following steps:

[0128] Step 1: The UE receives first configuration information through dedicated signaling. The first configuration information includes event-related configuration and indicates that when the entry conditions of Event A4H1 are met, if H1 continues to meet the entry conditions within the TTT time, the measurement report can be triggered or added to the cellsTriggeredList corresponding to the corresponding measID;

[0129] Step 2: The UE performs measurement. During the measurement process, cell 1 meets the entry conditions of Event A4H1. The TTT timer is started for the H1 event. During the TTT time, the H1 event in Event A4H1 always meets the entry conditions.

[0130] Step 3: The UE adds the corresponding measurement report to VarMeasReportList for the measID corresponding to Event A4H1, and adds cell1 to the cellsTriggeredList corresponding to the corresponding measID.

[0131] In an embodiment of the present application, the network side device configures a trigger holding time for the terminal to instruct the terminal that after the entry condition of the combined event is met, the terminal will only perform measurement report reporting if the entry condition of the combined event is always met within the trigger holding time, or the entry condition of any one of the first event and the second event is always met within the trigger holding time, or the entry condition of the second specific event is always met within the trigger holding time. The terminal will add the cells that meet the above entry conditions to the cell trigger list corresponding to the combined event. When the number of cells in the cell trigger list is greater than or equal to the cell number threshold corresponding to the combined event, the terminal will perform measurement report reporting to use less measurement reporting overhead and solve the interference problem suffered by the terminal.

[0132] In some embodiments, the trigger holding time is a plurality of trigger holding times configured by the network side device for the first event and the second event, respectively. Optionally, the trigger holding time may also be a trigger holding time configured by the network side device for the combined event.

[0133] In this way, the conditions for the terminal to report the measurement report can be flexibly configured, thereby using less measurement reporting overhead and solving the interference problem suffered by the terminal.

[0134] In some embodiments, when the value of reportOnLeave is True, the terminal performs at least one of the following:

[0135] When the exit condition of any one of the first event and the second event is met, reporting a measurement report and removing the second cell from the cell triggering list corresponding to the combined event, wherein the second cell is a neighbor cell that meets the exit condition of any one of the first event and the second event;

[0136] When the exit conditions of the first event and the second event are both met, reporting a measurement report and removing the second cell from the cell triggering list corresponding to the combined event, wherein the second cell is a neighbor cell that meets the exit conditions of the first event and the second event;

[0137] When a third specific event among the first event and the second event meets the leaving condition, reporting a measurement report and removing the second cell from the cell triggering list corresponding to the combined event, wherein the second cell is a neighboring cell that meets the leaving condition of the third specific event, wherein the third specific event is configured by the network side device or agreed upon by the protocol;

[0138] When the first event meets the leaving condition, the cell trigger list corresponding to the combined event is deleted.

[0139] It is understood that the network-side device configures a corresponding reportOnLeave value for each combined event. If the reportOnLeave value for a combined event is True, a measurement report is reported when the leaving condition for the combined event is met, and the cell that meets the leaving condition for the combined event is removed from the cell trigger list corresponding to the combined event. The leaving condition for the combined event has been explained in the previous embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0140] Optionally, when the leaving condition of any one of the first event and the second event is met, a measurement report is reported and the second cell is removed from the cell trigger list corresponding to the combined event, wherein the second cell is a neighboring cell that meets the leaving condition of any one of the first event and the second event, and the measurement report carries first indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate to the network side device the specific event that meets the leaving condition.

[0141] Optionally, the first event is an event related to the terminal height. When the first event meets the departure condition, it means that the terminal has flown out of a specific height at this time. The second event in the combined event does not meet the specific height range, that is, all cells in the cell trigger list do not meet the height range in the combined event. Therefore, the cell trigger list corresponding to the combined event can be directly deleted.

[0142] The embodiment is described in detail below through a specific example.

[0143] Example 3: The network indicates that a specific event has left, triggering measurement result reporting, including the following steps:

[0144] Step 1: The UE receives first configuration information through dedicated signaling. The first configuration information includes event-related configurations. For example, the network side configures Event A4H1 in ReportConfigNR, as well as the corresponding ReportOnLeave value and numberOfTriggeringCells. The network side indicates that when the terminal's height does not meet the event H1 threshold and ReportOnLeave is set to true, the measurement report is triggered; or the network can indicate that when a specific event leaves, the entire combined event leaves. When the specific event leaves and ReportOnLeave is set to true, the measurement report is triggered;

[0145] Step 2: The UE performs measurement. During the measurement process, the UE's altitude meets the exit condition of the event H1 threshold;

[0146] Step 3: Clear or delete the UE cellsTriggeredList and report the measurement report at the same time.

[0147] In an embodiment of the present application, the network side device configures the corresponding reportOnLeave value for each combined event to indicate whether the terminal reports the measurement report when the combined event leaving condition is met. This can flexibly configure the conditions for the terminal to report the measurement report, thereby using less measurement reporting overhead and solving the interference problem suffered by the terminal.

[0148] In some embodiments, the determining whether to perform reporting of the measurement report according to the first configuration information and whether an entry condition or an exit condition of the combination event is satisfied during the measurement process includes:

[0149] If the terminal determines that the cell trigger lists corresponding to the N combined events are exactly the same or contain the same cells, and the number of cells contained in the cell trigger lists corresponding to the N combined events is greater than the cell number threshold corresponding to each of the N combined events, the terminal only reports the measurement report once;

[0150] The measurement report reported by the terminal is a measurement report corresponding to any one of the N combined events, or a measurement report reported according to an instruction of a network-side device;

[0151] N is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0152] It can be understood that the network side device configures multiple combined events for the terminal. When there is overlap between different cellsTriggeredLists corresponding to different measIDs, and at the same time, the number of cells in cellsTriggeredList is greater than or equal to numberOfTriggeringCells, the UE performs the following operations: the UE reports the measurement report corresponding to one of the measIDs. The specific one to be reported can be configured by the network or implemented based on the UE.

[0153] The overlap occurs when different cellsTriggeredLists corresponding to different measIDs contain exactly the same cells, or contain the same cells.

[0154] In an embodiment of the present application, when different cellsTriggeredLists corresponding to different measIDs overlap, and at the same time, the number of cells in cellsTriggeredList is greater than or equal to numberOfTriggeringCells, the terminal only reports the measurement report once, which can effectively reduce the overhead of measuring report reporting.

[0155] Optionally, it also includes:

[0156] During the measurement process of the terminal, if the same or different cells meet the leaving condition in the overlapping cell trigger lists corresponding to different measurement identifiers at the same time, the cell meeting the leaving condition is removed from the corresponding cell trigger list and a measurement report is reported;

[0157] The measurement report reported by the terminal is a measurement report corresponding to any measurement identifier in the measurement identifiers, or a measurement report reported according to an instruction of a network side device;

[0158] N is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0159] It can be understood that when the same or different cells meet the leaving conditions in the overlapping cellsTriggeredList corresponding to different measIDs at the same time, the UE performs the following operations: for the cells that meet the leaving conditions, they are removed from their respective corresponding cellsTriggeredLists, but only one measurement report is reported. The specific measurement report corresponding to which measID is reported can be configured by the network or implemented based on the UE. Since only one measurement report is reported, the overhead of measurement report reporting can be effectively reduced.

[0160] In some optional embodiments, determining whether to perform reporting of the measurement report according to the first configuration information and whether an entry condition or an exit condition of the combination event is satisfied during the measurement process includes:

[0161] During the measurement process, if the third cell meets the entry condition of the first combined event among the N combined events and the duration of the entry condition being met is greater than or equal to the trigger holding time corresponding to the first combined event, the third cell is added to the cell trigger list of the first combined event, the number of cells included in the cell trigger list corresponding to the first combined event is greater than the corresponding cell number threshold, the terminal reports a measurement report, and starts a first timer;

[0162] During the running of the first timer, if the third cell meets the entry condition of the second combined event in the N combined events and the duration of the entry condition being met is greater than or equal to the trigger holding time corresponding to the second combined event, the third cell is added to the cell trigger list of the second combined event, where the cell trigger lists corresponding to the first combined event and the second combined event are the same, then the terminal no longer reports the measurement report;

[0163] The duration of the first timer is configured by the network side device or agreed upon by the protocol;

[0164] N is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0165] Specifically, the terminal performs measurement. If, during the measurement process, the third cell satisfies the entry condition of the first combined event among the N combined events, and the duration for which the entry condition is satisfied is greater than or equal to the trigger hold time corresponding to the first combined event, that is, the third cell satisfies the entry condition of the first combined event for a duration greater than the trigger hold time corresponding to the first combined event, or the third cell satisfies the entry condition of any event constituting the first combined event for a duration greater than the trigger hold time corresponding to the first combined event, or the third cell satisfies the entry condition of a specific event constituting the first combined event for a duration greater than the trigger hold time corresponding to the first combined event, then the third cell is added to the cell trigger list of the first combined event, the number of cells included in the cell trigger list corresponding to the first combined event is greater than the corresponding cell number threshold, and the terminal reports a measurement report and starts a first timer;

[0166] During the running of the first timer, if the third cell meets the entry condition of the second combined event among the N combined events, and the duration of the entry condition being met is greater than or equal to the trigger holding time corresponding to the second combined event, that is, the third cell meets the entry condition of the second combined event for a duration greater than the trigger holding time corresponding to the second combined event, or the third cell meets the entry condition of any event constituting the second combined event for a duration greater than the trigger holding time corresponding to the second combined event, or the third cell meets the entry condition of a specific event constituting the second combined event for a duration greater than the trigger holding time corresponding to the second combined event, then the third cell is added to the cell trigger list corresponding to the second combined event. At this time, the cell trigger list corresponding to the second combined event among the N combined events is exactly the same as the cell trigger list corresponding to the first combined event, and the number of cells contained in the cell trigger list corresponding to the second combined event is also greater than the corresponding cell number threshold, but the terminal no longer reports the measurement report;

[0167] The duration of the first timer is configured by the network side device or agreed upon by a protocol.

[0168] Optionally, the determining whether to perform reporting of the measurement report according to the first configuration information and whether an entry condition or an exit condition of the combined event is satisfied during the measurement process includes:

[0169] If, during the measurement process, different cell trigger lists corresponding to different combined events overlap successively, and each of the combined events meets its own entry conditions, if the terminal has reported a measurement report within the first time period, the terminal no longer reports the measurement report;

[0170] The first duration is configured by a network-side device or agreed upon by a protocol.

[0171] Specifically, the terminal performs measurement. If, during the measurement process, the third cell satisfies the entry condition of the first combined event among the N combined events, and the duration for which the entry condition is satisfied is greater than or equal to the trigger hold time corresponding to the first combined event (that is, the third cell satisfies the entry condition of the first combined event for a duration greater than the trigger hold time corresponding to the first combined event, or the third cell satisfies the entry condition of any event constituting the first combined event for a duration greater than the trigger hold time corresponding to the first combined event, or the third cell satisfies the entry condition of a specific event constituting the first combined event for a duration greater than the trigger hold time corresponding to the first combined event), then the third cell is added to the cell trigger list of the first combined event, the number of cells included in the cell trigger list corresponding to the first combined event is greater than the corresponding cell number threshold, and the terminal reports a measurement report;

[0172] If the third cell meets the entry condition of the second combined event among the N combined events within the first duration, and the duration of the entry condition being met is greater than or equal to the trigger holding time corresponding to the second combined event (that is, the third cell meets the entry condition of the second combined event for a duration greater than the trigger holding time corresponding to the second combined event, or the third cell meets the entry condition of any event constituting the second combined event for a duration greater than the trigger holding time corresponding to the second combined event, or the third cell meets the entry condition of the specific event constituting the second combined event for a duration greater than the trigger holding time corresponding to the second combined event), then the third cell is added to the cell trigger list corresponding to the second combined event. At this time, the cell trigger list corresponding to the second combined event among the N combined events is exactly the same as the cell trigger list corresponding to the first combined event, and the number of cells contained in the cell trigger list corresponding to the second combined event is also greater than the corresponding cell number threshold, but the terminal no longer reports the measurement report;

[0173] The first duration is configured by the network side device or agreed upon by protocol.

[0174] Optionally, when different cellsTriggeredLists corresponding to different measIDs overlap successively within a short period of time and the entry conditions are met, or measurement reporting is triggered successively within a short period of time, the UE performs one of the following operations:

[0175] If a measurement report has been submitted within a specific time, the same cellTriggeredList will not be reported again. The specific time can be configured by the network or agreed upon by the protocol.

[0176] If a measurement report has been submitted within a specific time period, no further reports will be submitted. The specific time period may be configured by the network or agreed upon by the protocol.

[0177] When the number of cells in a cellsTriggeredList meets the reporting conditions, the first timer is started. During the timer running, if the same cellsTriggeredList meets the reporting conditions or the measurement report is triggered again, the measurement report will no longer be reported.

[0178] The embodiment of the present application can effectively reduce the overhead of measurement report reporting when different cellsTriggeredLists corresponding to different measIDs overlap one after another in a short period of time.

[0179] In some embodiments, further comprising:

[0180] During the terminal measurement process, the cell triggering lists corresponding to the first combined event and the second combined event are the same;

[0181] During the continued measurement process of the terminal, if the fourth cell meets the leaving condition of the first combined event, the fourth cell is removed from the cell triggering list corresponding to the first combined event, the terminal reports a measurement report, and starts a second timer;

[0182] During the running of the second timer, if the fifth cell meets the leaving condition of the second combined event, the fifth cell is removed from the cell triggering list corresponding to the second combined event, and the terminal no longer reports the measurement report;

[0183] The duration of the second timer is configured by the network side device or agreed upon by protocol, and the fifth cell is the same as or different from the fourth cell.

[0184] In some embodiments, it further includes:

[0185] During the measurement process of the terminal, there is a cell trigger list corresponding to the first combined event and the cell trigger list corresponding to the second combined event that is the same;

[0186] During the terminal's continued measurement process, if the fourth cell meets the leaving condition of the first combined event, the fourth cell is removed from the cell triggering list corresponding to the first combined event, and the terminal reports a measurement report;

[0187] If the fifth cell meets the leaving condition of the second combined event within the second duration, the fifth cell is removed from the cell triggering list corresponding to the second combined event, and the terminal no longer reports the measurement report;

[0188] The second duration is configured by the network side device or agreed upon by protocol, and the fifth cell is the same as or different from the fourth cell.

[0189] Optionally, when the same or different cells successively meet the leaving condition in the overlapping cellsTriggeredList corresponding to different measIDs, or trigger measurement reporting successively within a short period of time, the UE performs one of the following operations:

[0190] If a cell satisfies the leave condition and reports a measurement report within a specific time, it will no longer report if it meets the leave condition in another cell in the same cellsTriggeredList. The specific time can be configured by the network or agreed upon by the protocol.

[0191] If a cell meets the leave condition and has reported a measurement report within a specific time, it will no longer report. The specific time can be configured by the network or agreed upon by the protocol;

[0192] When a cell in cellsTriggeredList meets the leaving condition and has reported a measurement report, the second timer is started. During the timer running, if a cell leaves other cellsTriggeredList or triggers measurement reporting again, no measurement report will be reported.

[0193] In the embodiment of the present application, when the same or different cells successively meet the leaving condition in the overlapping cellsTriggeredList corresponding to different measIDs, or when measurement reporting is triggered successively in a short period of time, measurement reports will no longer be reported, thereby effectively reducing the overhead of measurement report reporting.

[0194] In an embodiment of the present application, by receiving the first configuration information sent by the network side device, the configuration of the combined event by the network side device is obtained. The combined event is a combined event composed of events that are highly relevant to the terminal and mobility management-related events. The terminal then performs measurement and determines whether to perform measurement reporting based on whether the entry condition and exit condition of the combined event are met during the measurement process or whether the number of cells in the cell trigger list corresponding to the combined event meets the cell number threshold. It can be achieved that the measurement report is reported only when the entry condition of the combined event is met or the exit condition of the combined event is met and the value of reportOnLeave is True or the number of cells in the cell trigger list corresponding to the combined event is greater than the cell number threshold, thereby reducing the signaling overhead of the measurement report reporting while reducing the interference to the terminal.
