Description

A cell management method, device and equipment

[0001] This disclosure claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on September 6, 2023, with application number 202311145581.3 and application name “A Cell Management Method, Device and Equipment”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this disclosure. Technical Field

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a cell management method, apparatus, and device. Background Art

[0003] The R18 Mobility Enhancement Project studies the Layer 1 (L1) and Layer 2 (L2) triggered mobility (L1 / L2-Triggered Mobility, or L1L2 Mob, or LTM) mechanism. Specifically, the base station notifies the user equipment (UE) to change its serving cell by sending an L1L2 command, and decides on cell changes or timing advance (TA) acquisition based on the L1 measurement results reported by the UE. However, it does not specify how to implement UE-triggered LTM, and it is not clear how the UE makes decisions on cell management (such as cell changes).

[0004] As mentioned above, the R18 mobility enhancement project supports the LTM mechanism based on network decision-making, but does not specify the LTM mechanism based on UE decision-making, and cannot support the solution of implementing UE decision-making on whether to perform cell management.

[0431] Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a wireless communication system to which embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied. The wireless communication system includes a terminal device (also referred to as a terminal) and a network device.

[0432] The terminal device involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user, a handheld device with wireless connection function, or other processing device connected to a wireless modem. In different systems, the name of the terminal device may also be different. For example, in a 5G system, the terminal device may be called User Equipment (UE). A wireless terminal device can communicate with one or more core networks (CN) via a radio access network (RAN). The wireless terminal device can be a mobile terminal device, such as a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal device. For example, it can be a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-built-in or vehicle-mounted mobile device that exchanges voice and / or data with a radio access network. For example, personal communication service (PCS) phones, cordless phones, session initiation protocol (SIP) phones, wireless local loop (WLL) stations, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and other devices. The wireless terminal device may also be referred to as a system, a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, an access point, a remote terminal device, an access terminal device, a user terminal device, a user agent, or a user device, but is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0433] The network device involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be a base station, which may include multiple cells providing services to terminals. Depending on the specific application scenario, the base station may also be called an access point, or may be a device in an access network that communicates with a wireless terminal device through one or more sectors on an air interface, or may be named by another name. The network device may be used to interchange received air frames with Internet Protocol (IP) packets, acting as a router between the wireless terminal device and the rest of the access network, wherein the rest of the access network may include an Internet Protocol (IP) communication network.

In some network structures, the network device may include a centralized unit (CU) node and a distributed unit (DU) node, and the centralized unit and the distributed unit may also be geographically separated.

[0434] Network devices and terminal devices can each use one or more antennas for Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) transmission. MIMO transmission can be single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO) or multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO). Depending on the form and number of antenna combinations, MIMO transmission can be two-dimensional MIMO (2D-MIMO), three-dimensional MIMO (3D-MIMO), full-dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO), or massive MIMO. It can also use diversity transmission, precoding transmission, or beamforming transmission.

[0435] The following first introduces the contents involved in the solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0436] 1. About the handover or the Primary SCG Cell (PSCell) change process;

[0437] In the New Radio (NR) system, UE cell switching or PSCell change is performed based on Layer 3 (L3) commands. Taking handover as an example, when the network side decides that the UE performs handover, the source cell initiates a handover preparation process to the target cell and obtains a handover command, which contains the configuration information of the target cell. The handover command is the Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration information; the source cell directly sends the handover command obtained from the target cell to the UE. After receiving the handover command, the UE synchronizes to the target cell according to the configuration information in the handover command, initiates a random access process, accesses the target cell, and completes the handover process.

[0438] Furthermore, R16 in the NR system introduced conditional handover (CHO) and conditional PSCell change (CPC). The principles of CHO and CPC are similar, namely: the network pre-configures at least one pre-configured target cell and related execution conditions to the UE through RRC signaling; after the UE receives the CHO and / or CPC configuration information, it performs measurement and evaluation according to the execution conditions configured on the network side; when the UE finds that the configured execution conditions are met, it determines the cell as the target cell, accesses the target cell, and completes the handover or PSCell change process. After the UE completes the handover or the PSCell change, the stored CHO and / or CPC configuration will be released. The execution conditions of the current CHO and / or CPAC configuration are execution conditions based on the L3 measurement results.

[0439] 2. Special Cell (SpCell) and Secondary Cell (SCell);

[0440] The network can configure dual connectivity and carrier aggregation (CA) for the UE to increase the UE's transmission bandwidth and improve throughput. If the network configures dual connectivity for the UE, it needs to configure a master cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG) for the UE; wherein, the MCG and SCG can each contain at least one service cell, and the at least one service cell contains at least an SpCell; specifically, the SpCell in the MCG is called the primary cell (PCell); the SpCell in the SCG is called the primary SCG cell (PSCell), and the remaining cells are secondary cells (SCell). The UE needs to perform actions such as wireless link monitoring on the SpCell.

[0441] 3. About R18 L1L2 Mob (i.e. LTM);

[0442] The R18 cell change mechanism triggered by L1L2 commands includes: the network pre-configures the configuration information of candidate cells to the UE and configures the UE with relevant candidate cell measurement reference signal information; the UE performs L1 measurements of neighboring cells based on the configured candidate cell measurement reference signal and reports the measurement results to the network. The source cell makes a cell change decision based on the L1 measurement results of the candidate cells reported by the UE; and notifies the UE to perform the cell change by sending a MAC CE (specifically, an LTM MAC CE) that triggers the UE to perform the cell change. After receiving this LTM MAC CE, the UE applies the candidate cell configuration information specified in the MAC CE and accesses the target cell. A MAC CE represents a Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element. Before sending the LTM MAC CE command, the source cell may also, based on, for example, the L1 measurement results, trigger a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) order (command) to notify the UE to obtain the TA value of the candidate cell, without limitation here.

[0443] Based on the foregoing, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a cell management method, apparatus, and device to address the problem in related technologies that cannot support a solution for a UE to determine whether to perform cell management. The method, apparatus, and device are based on the same patent application. Since the principles of the method, apparatus, and device are similar, their implementation can refer to each other, and any repetitions will not be repeated.

[0444] The cell management method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to a terminal, as shown in FIG2 , and includes:

[0445] Step 21: Get execution conditions;

[0446] Step 22: Evaluate whether there is at least one target candidate cell that meets the execution condition;

[0447] Step 23: If at least one target candidate cell exists, determine the target cell and / or determine the target beam of the target cell; wherein the execution condition is a beam-level execution condition based on the layer 1 measurement configuration.

[0448] Among them, the obtaining of the execution condition may include: receiving the execution condition sent by the network device, but is not limited thereto. Regarding the "beam-level execution condition based on the layer 1 measurement configuration", in the scenario where multiple beams are configured, the beam-level execution condition based on the layer 1 measurement configuration may be the execution condition used to evaluate the beam measurement result based on the L1 measurement; when only one beam is configured or multiple beams are not supported, the beam-level execution condition based on the layer 1 measurement configuration may be the execution condition used to evaluate the single beam measurement result based on the layer 1 measurement or the cell measurement result based on the layer 1 measurement, which is not limited here.

[0449] "Determining the target cell" may include determining the target cell's configuration information, or identification information of the target cell (e.g., cell identification, cell frequency, and / or cell PCI), or candidate cell identification information, etc., to identify the target cell, which is not limited here. A possible implementation of determining the "target cell" is to determine a target PCell cell, a target PSCell cell, or a target SpCell cell, which is not limited here.

[0450] The cell management method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure obtains an execution condition; evaluates whether there is at least one target candidate cell that meets the execution condition; if there is at least one target candidate cell, determines the target cell, and / or determines the target beam of the target cell; wherein the execution condition is an execution condition at the beam level configured based on layer 1 measurement; and can support the UE to clarify the target cell and / or target beam (that meets the execution condition), and then determine whether to perform a cell change, or determine whether or through which beam the TA of the target cell can be obtained, thereby supporting the implementation of a solution for the UE to decide whether to perform cell management. The cell management may include operations such as cell change, or TA management of the target cell (for example, determining that the TA of the target cell can be obtained, thereby triggering the TA calculation of the target cell, or requesting the network side to trigger the TA acquisition process of the target cell).

[0451] Wherein, the evaluation of whether there is at least one target candidate cell that meets the execution condition includes: when a first evaluation condition is met, determining that the candidate cell is a target candidate cell that meets the execution condition; wherein, the first evaluation condition includes at least one of the following: (1) the beam signal quality of the serving cell is less than a first preset threshold and meets the first preset condition; or, the beam signal quality of the serving cell is less than or equal to the first preset threshold and meets the first preset condition; (2) the beam signal quality of the candidate cell is greater than a second preset threshold and meets the second preset condition; or, the beam signal quality of the candidate cell is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold and meets the first preset condition. Second preset condition; (3) the difference between the beam signal quality of the candidate cell and the beam signal quality of the serving cell is at least greater than a third preset threshold (corresponding to the first preset deviation value described below) and satisfies the third preset condition; or, the difference between the beam signal quality of the candidate cell and the beam signal quality of the serving cell is at least greater than or equal to the third preset threshold and satisfies the third preset condition; (4) the beam signal quality of the serving cell is greater than a fourth preset threshold and satisfies the fourth preset condition; or, the beam signal quality of the serving cell is greater than or equal to the fourth preset threshold and satisfies the fourth preset condition; (5) the beam signal quality of the candidate cell is less than a fifth preset threshold and satisfies the fifth preset condition; or, the beam signal quality of the candidate cell is less than or equal to the fifth preset threshold and satisfies the fifth preset condition.

[0452] In this way, the candidate cells that meet the execution condition can be accurately determined. In combination with the above items (1)-(5), the first evaluation condition may specifically include at least one of the following:

[0501] Specifically, the above item (1) may correspond to the above second target condition including the seventh sub-condition, and satisfy at least one of the above 1)-7) and 15). For example: the above item (1) corresponds to the above second target condition including the seventh sub-condition, and satisfies the above 2).

[0502] Among them, the above item (2) may correspond to the above second target condition including the eighth sub-condition and satisfy at least one of the above 1)-7) and 17); the above item (3) may correspond to the above second target condition including the sixth sub-condition and satisfy at least one of the above 1)-7) and 13); the above item (4) may correspond to the above second target condition including the ninth sub-condition and satisfy at least one of the above 7)-11) and 19); the above item (5) may correspond to the above second target condition including the tenth sub-condition and satisfy at least one of the above 7)-11) and 21); but it is not limited to this. It is explained here that the preset information involved above (such as the sixth preset time and the seventh preset time) may be the same or different, the variables (such as X6 and X7) may be the same or different, the conditions (such as the twelfth condition and the thirteenth condition) may be the same or different, the candidate cells in the above items may be the same or different, and the candidate cells and the serving cells may be the same or different; in addition, the conditions involved in the second evaluation condition (such as the second condition) and the conditions involved in the first evaluation condition (such as the thirteenth condition) may be the same or different, and the preset parameters of the second evaluation condition and the first evaluation condition (such as the first preset time and the sixth preset time) may also be the same or different, and are not limited here.

[0503] Furthermore, the cell management method also includes: obtaining configuration information; wherein the configuration information includes at least one of the following: preset time; preset deviation value; preset threshold; preset number of beams; preset number of times; preset probability; statistical number of times; cell measurement configuration information.

[0504] In this way, configuration information can be accurately obtained, supporting the terminal to accurately determine the above-mentioned conditions. For example, the preset time may include the above-mentioned first preset time, the preset threshold may include the above-mentioned first preset threshold, and other parameters are similar. Among them, the cell measurement configuration information may include at least one of: measurement cell configuration; measurement frequency; measurement physical cell identifier (PCI); synchronization signal block (SSB) configuration information; and obtaining the configuration information may include, but is not limited to, receiving configuration information sent by a network device.

[0505] The cell beam signal quality is the serving cell beam signal quality or the candidate cell beam signal quality; wherein the cell beam signal quality includes at least one of the following: (1) the signal quality of the beam with the best signal quality contained in the cell; (2) the beam signal quality obtained by filtering the n beams contained in the cell according to the first preset rule; the n beams are the beams ranked in the top n positions in terms of signal quality from high to low; (3) the beam signal quality obtained by filtering the beams contained in the cell with signal quality higher than the eleventh preset threshold according to the second preset rule; (4) the beam signal quality obtained by filtering the first beams of the first number contained in the cell according to the third preset rule; the first number is less than or equal to m, and the signal quality of the first beam is higher than the twelfth preset threshold; (5) the signal quality of any beam contained in the cell; (6) the beam signal quality obtained by filtering all beams of the cell measured by the terminal according to the seventh preset rule; (7) the signal quality of the beam with the worst signal quality among the second beams contained in the cell; the signal quality of the second beam is higher than the thirteenth preset threshold.

[0506] This can support expressing the cell beam signal quality in multiple ways. Wherein, n can be an integer greater than or equal to 1, and m can be an integer greater than or equal to 1. Wherein, n is a network configuration or protocol provision, and m is a network configuration or protocol provision; wherein the cell beam signal quality is an L1 measurement quantity, specifically, it can be a measurement quantity such as L1 Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), L1 Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ), or L1 Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR). The specific measurement quantity can be a network configuration or protocol provision, which is not limited here.

[0507] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the determination of the target cell includes: determining the target cell from the at least one target candidate cell according to a first method; wherein the first method includes at least one of the following: selecting the target cell based on the terminal; selecting the cell where the beam with the highest signal quality is located as the target cell; selecting the cell with the largest number of beams that meets the execution conditions as the target cell; selecting the cell with the highest signal quality obtained after filtering the beam signal quality according to the fourth preset rule as the target cell; selecting at least one of the target candidate cells as the target cell; selecting the cell with the best cell-level measurement result based on layer 3 measurement as the target cell.

[0508] In this way, the target cell can be determined. Among them, the "cell with the best cell-level measurement results" may include: the cell with the best measurement results in measurement quantities such as Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ), and Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR). Specifically, it may be that the protocol stipulates that the measurement results of the cell are determined based on a certain measurement quantity (such as RSRP), or based on the network configuration (such as a measurement quantity based on the network configuration (such as RSRQ)), but it is not limited to this. Among them, when there is only one target candidate cell, the UE can determine that the target candidate cell is the target cell. Among them, "selecting at least one of the target candidate cells as the target cell" may include: all target candidate cells that meet the execution conditions are used as target cells (for example, TA scenarios can be used, but there is no limitation).

[0509] Wherein, the target beam of the target cell is determined, including: determining the target beam of the target cell according to the second method; wherein, the second method includes at least one of the following: selecting the beam with the best signal quality in the target cell as the target beam; among the beams contained in the target cell, selecting the beam with the best signal quality obtained after filtering according to the fifth preset rule within the first preset time as the target beam; among the beams contained in the target cell, selecting the beam with the best signal quality obtained after filtering according to the sixth preset rule within the first preset number of times as the target beam; among the beams contained in the target cell, selecting the beam that meets the execution condition and reaches the terminal first The beam is a target beam; among the beams contained in the target cell, the target beam is selected based on the terminal implementation; among the beams contained in the target cell, the beam that meets the execution condition and is associated with the pre-configured uplink resource is selected as the target beam (the pre-configured uplink resource can be used by the terminal to send the first uplink data); among the beams contained in the target cell, the beam that meets the execution condition and is associated with the pre-configured uplink resource (the pre-configured uplink resource can be used by the terminal to send the first uplink data) and reaches the terminal first is selected as the target beam; among the beams contained in the target cell, the beam that meets the execution condition is selected as the target beam.

[0510] In this way, the target beam of the target cell can be determined. Among them, "best signal quality" can specifically include: the best measurement result among the measurement quantities such as RSRP, RSRQ, SINR of Layer 1. Specifically, it can be that the protocol stipulates that the signal quality is determined based on a certain measurement quantity (such as RSRP), or based on the network configuration (such as a measurement quantity based on the network configuration (such as RSRQ)), but it is not limited to this. Among them, when the target cell has only one beam, or only one beam meets the execution condition (for example, greater than a preset threshold within a preset time), the UE can determine that the beam is the target beam.

[0511] Furthermore, the cell management method also includes: adopting a third method to manage the target cell; wherein the third method includes at least one of the following: triggering a random access process to the target cell; sending uplink data on pre-configured uplink resources; monitoring the physical downlink control channel PDCCH in the target cell; when the valid timing advance TA of the target cell is obtained, sending uplink data on the pre-configured uplink resources; when the valid TA of the target cell is obtained, monitoring the PDCCH according to the target transmission configuration indication TCI or the target beam index; when the valid TA of the target cell is not obtained, triggering a random access process to the target cell; before accessing the target cell, sending a first indication information to the network device, the first indication information is used to indicate the target cell and / or target beam information; when the valid TA of the target cell is obtained, sending a second indication information to the network device before accessing the target cell, the second indication information is used to indicate the target cell and / or target beam information; determining to obtain the TA of the target cell.

[0512] In this way, the target cell can be managed. Regarding "determining to obtain the TA of the target cell", it can be understood as: determining that the TA of the target cell or the target beam of the target cell needs to be obtained, that is, determining that the relevant operations of obtaining the TA of the target cell or the target beam of the target cell need to be performed, such as determining that the TA of the target cell can be obtained, thereby triggering the TA calculation of the target cell, or requesting the network side to trigger the target cell TA acquisition process, but not limited to this. The target beam information is used to indicate the target beam, and one possible implementation method is: indicating the reference signal information associated with the target beam (such as SSB index, or channel state information reference signal (Channel State Information-reference signal, CSI-RS) index information), or indicating the target transmission configuration indicator (Transmission Configuration Indicator, TCI), where the target TCI may be a joint TCI (used to indicate uplink transmission and downlink transmission at the same time, or it can only indicate downlink TCI, or only indicate uplink TCI), or include uplink TCI and downlink TCI at the same time, or indicate TCI of different channels respectively, without limitation. One implementation method of the above specific behavior (the operation involved in the third method) may be: the UE performs an operation on the target beam of the target cell (that is, the operation is associated with the target beam), for example, "sending uplink data on the pre-configured uplink resources", and one implementation method is: the pre-configured uplink resources are the uplink resources of the target beam associated with the target cell; for example, one implementation method of "monitoring the physical downlink control channel PDCCH in the target cell" is: monitoring the PDCCH of the target beam associated with the target cell, but is not limited to this.

[0513] The execution condition is configured for each cell separately, or configured for all cells together, or configured for each cell group separately.

[0514] This can support diverse configurations. Specifically, it may include: all configuration parameters are configured separately for different cells; or, all cells are configured together; or, all configuration parameters are configured separately for different cell groups, and cells within the cell group share the configuration; or, some configuration parameters are configured separately for different cells, and some configuration parameters are configured together for all cells (for example, preset thresholds are configured separately for different cells, i.e., each cell is individually configured with a preset threshold, while preset time is configured together for all cells, i.e., a unique preset time is configured for all cells); or, some configuration parameters are configured separately for different cells, while some configuration parameters are applied together for cell groups, and some parameters are configured together for all cells, for example: preset thresholds are configured separately for different cells, i.e., each cell is individually configured with a preset threshold, while preset time is configured together for all cells, i.e., a unique preset time is configured for all cells, preset probability 1 is applied to cell group 1, and preset probability 2 is applied to cell group 2, wherein cell group 1 includes at least one cell and cell group 2 includes at least one cell, and there is no limitation on this.

[0515] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the evaluation of whether there is at least one target candidate cell that meets the execution condition includes: determining at least one candidate cell to be evaluated; determining whether there is at least one target candidate cell that meets the execution condition from the at least one candidate cell to be evaluated; wherein the candidate cell to be evaluated includes at least one of the following: a candidate cell for which the terminal has acquired a valid TA; a candidate cell for which pre-configured uplink resources are set for the terminal to send the first uplink data; a candidate cell for evaluation indicated by network configuration indication information; all candidate cells configured by the network; and all candidate cells associated with the execution condition.

[0516] In this way, the target candidate cell can be accurately determined. A possible implementation of "the network configuration indication information indicates the candidate cells to be evaluated" includes: the network instructs the UE via signaling which candidate cells can be evaluated, or carries indication information to instruct the UE whether to perform candidate cell evaluation; but is not limited thereto.

[0517] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the evaluation of whether there is at least one target candidate cell that meets the execution condition includes: evaluating whether there is at least one target candidate cell that meets the execution condition according to the fourth method; wherein the fourth method includes at least one of the following: the media access control MAC entity of the terminal evaluates according to the information reported by the physical layer of the terminal; the physical layer of the terminal evaluates; the radio resource control RRC layer of the terminal evaluates according to the information reported by the bottom layer of the terminal.

[0518] Specifically, (1) a possible implementation manner of the UE evaluating the candidate cell is as follows: the MAC layer entity evaluates according to the information reported by the physical layer, specifically for example, the physical layer performs L1 measurement, and determines whether the condition is met according to the configured preset threshold, for example, determines whether the L1 measurement result of the candidate cell is greater than the preset threshold, reports indication information to the MAC layer when the condition is met, and / or reports to the MAC layer when the condition is not met, and the MAC layer evaluates according to the indication information of the physical layer; or, the physical layer reports the measurement result to the MAC layer, and the MAC layer evaluates based on the measurement result reported by the physical layer (for example, determines whether the indication information that the condition is met is continuously reported within a preset time), the MAC layer determines whether the candidate cell meets the execution condition, and decides on the cell management, or notifies the RRC to decide on the cell management; or, the MAC layer evaluates based on the L1 measurement result, determines whether the candidate cell meets the execution condition, and decides (2) Another implementation method for UE to evaluate candidate cells is: the physical layer performs evaluation, that is, the physical layer determines whether the candidate cell meets the execution conditions according to the execution conditions, and makes a decision on cell management, or notifies the upper layer such as MAC or RRC to make a decision on cell management; (3) Another implementation method for UE to evaluate candidate cells is: the radio resource control RRC layer performs evaluation based on the information reported by the lower layer, and the RRC layer performs evaluation based on the information reported by the lower layer to make a decision on cell management, specifically: RRC receives the measurement results of the candidate cell from the lower layer (such as the physical layer or MAC layer), or the indication information of whether the candidate cell meets the conditions, and thus performs evaluation; specifically, for example, it determines whether the indication information of the candidate cell meeting the conditions reported by the lower layer is continuously received within a preset time, and based on this, the RRC layer determines whether the candidate cell meets the execution conditions and makes a decision on cell management. The bottom layer performs L1 measurement and determines whether the conditions are met based on the configured preset threshold. For example, it determines whether the L1 measurement result of the candidate cell is greater than the preset threshold. When the conditions are met, it reports the indication information to the RRC layer. Alternatively, the RRC layer evaluates the L1 measurement result to determine whether the candidate cell meets the execution conditions and makes decisions on cell management.

[0519] The present disclosure also provides a cell management method, which is applied to a network device, as shown in FIG3 , and includes:

[0520] Step 31: Send execution conditions; wherein the execution conditions are beam-level execution conditions based on layer 1 measurement configuration.

[0521] Among them, the sending execution condition may include: sending the execution condition to the terminal, but is not limited to this. Regarding the "beam-level execution condition based on layer 1 measurement configuration", in the scenario where multiple beams are configured, the beam-level execution condition based on layer 1 measurement configuration may be the execution condition used to evaluate the beam measurement result based on L1 measurement; when only one beam is configured or multiple beams are not supported, the beam-level execution condition based on layer 1 measurement configuration may be the execution condition used to evaluate the single beam measurement result based on layer 1 measurement or the cell measurement result based on layer 1 measurement, which is not limited here.

[0633] -If the UE has a valid TA of the target cell, the UE sends an indication message to the source cell before accessing the target cell, indicating the source cell, target cell and / or target SSB index and / or target TCI (uplink and downlink TCI or combined TCI); corresponding to the above-mentioned case where the valid TA of the target cell is obtained, before accessing the target cell, the UE sends a second indication message to the network device, and the second indication message is used to indicate the target cell and / or target beam information; and determines to obtain the TA of the target cell.

[0634] 9) Based on any of 1)-3), the above conditions can be per-cell configuration, for example, the serving cell and each candidate cell are configured separately, or publicly configured, that is, the candidate cell configuration is not distinguished; corresponding to the above execution conditions, each cell is configured separately, or all cells are configured together, or each cell group is configured separately.

[0635] 10) Based on 1), the candidate cell evaluated by the UE (corresponding to the candidate cell to be evaluated) has at least one of the following characteristics:

[0636] The UE obtains the valid TA of the candidate cell; corresponding to the candidate cell for which the terminal obtains the valid TA;

[0637] The candidate cell includes pre-configured uplink resources for the UE to send the first uplink data in the target cell (specific resources are prepared for the UE); corresponding to the candidate cell in which the pre-configured uplink resources for the terminal to send the first uplink data are set;

[0638] The network configuration indication information instructs the UE to evaluate; corresponding to the candidate cell to be evaluated indicated by the above network configuration indication information;

[0639] All candidate cells configured by the network; corresponding to all candidate cells configured by the above network;

[0640] All candidate cells associated with the execution condition; corresponding to all candidate cells associated with the execution condition.

[0641] Part 2, Network side:

[0642] The network side will send some information to the terminal to support the terminal to implement the above solution, such as sending at least one of the execution conditions, the first evaluation conditions and other information. For details, please refer to the above UE side content, which will not be repeated here.

[0643] The following is a specific example to illustrate this solution.

[0644] Example 1: Implementation process;

[0645] Step 1: Assuming that the current serving cell of the UE is cell0, the network sends signaling to configure the configuration information of the candidate cells cell1 and cell2 for the UE; wherein, the configuration information takes cell1 as an example and includes the configuration information of cell1, but is not limited to only including the configuration information of cell1. For example, it may include the configuration information of the cellgroup with cell1 as the SpCell. In addition, the candidate cells cell1 and / or cell2 may be candidate primary cells (PCell), primary cells of secondary cell groups (PSCell), special cells (SpCell), or secondary cells (SCell), which are not limited here; wherein, the serving cell cell0 may be a PCell, PSCell, SpCell or any serving cell. In addition, the signaling may also include the execution conditions configured by the network for the candidate cells.

[0646] Step 2: The UE receives the candidate cells and execution conditions configured by the network and evaluates whether the candidate cells meet the execution conditions. The evaluated candidate cells include at least one of the following:

[0647] a) All candidate cells configured by the network;

[0648] b) associate all candidate cells for execution conditions;

[0649] c) Candidate cells designated by the network, for example, the network notifies the UE through an identifier to evaluate cell 1 without evaluating cell 2;

[0650] d) The UE obtains a candidate cell with a valid TA, where the candidate cell with a valid TA obtained by the UE may be a candidate cell with a valid TA configured to the UE by the network through signaling, or a candidate cell with a valid TA obtained by the UE through UE-based calculation. For example, if the network configures cell1 and cell2 and associates both with execution conditions, but the UE obtains a valid TA for cell1 but not cell2, the UE evaluates whether cell1 meets the execution condition without evaluating cell2.

[0651] e) A candidate cell including pre-configured uplink resources, where the pre-configured uplink resources are used for the UE to send the first uplink data in the target cell.

[0652] Among them, the candidate cell to be evaluated has one of the above characteristics, for example, the candidate cell with characteristic b) can be the candidate cell evaluated by the UE; or, it has a combination of the above characteristics, for example, it can be the intersection of cells with characteristics b), d) and e) at the same time.

[0653] Step 3: The UE evaluates that at least one candidate cell meets the execution conditions, then:

[0654] The UE determines the target cell, such as cell 1, or

[0655] The UE determines the target cell and target beam.

[0656] Correspondingly, proceed to step 4-1 and / or step 4-2:

[0657] Step 4-1: The UE accesses the target cell, where the method for accessing the target cell (corresponding to the third method above) includes any one of the following:

[0658] Method 1: The UE triggers a random access procedure to access the target cell. One possible implementation method is that the UE triggers a random access procedure on the target beam of the target cell.

[0659] Mode 2: The UE sends uplink data on the pre-configured uplink resources, where the selected uplink resources are optionally uplink resources associated with the target beam.

[0660] Method 3: monitoring PDCCH in the target cell, optionally monitoring PDCCH occasion associated with the target beam;

[0661] Method 4: Determine whether there is a valid TA for the target cell. If yes, execute according to Method 2 or Method 3; otherwise, execute according to Method 1.

[0662] In some embodiments, another implementation is that before step 4-1, that is, before the UE accesses the target cell, the UE performs step 4-0: sending indication information to the source cell, which is cell0 in this embodiment, to notify the source cell cell0 of information about the target cell to which the UE is accessing, where the information is:

[0663] Target cell (information), for example, cell1;

[0664] Or, target cell and / or target beam information, where the target beam information is, for example, the SSB index associated with accessing the target cell, or the target TCI used (uplink TCI and / or downlink TCI, or one TCI, applied to the downlink, or applied to both the uplink and downlink simultaneously);

[0665] In some embodiments, before the UE executes step 4-0, it determines whether there is a valid TA for the target cell. If there is a valid TA for the target cell, it then executes step 4-0, but this is not limiting.

[0666] Step Four-2: The UE determines that the target cell needs to obtain a TA (corresponding to the above third method). For example, if the UE determines that cell1 meets the execution condition, the UE determines that it needs to obtain the TA of cell1, and then needs to perform the relevant operations for obtaining the TA of cell1; or, if the UE determines that cell1 meets the execution condition and simultaneously determines the target beam (for example, SSB1, where the beam can be distinguished by the SSB), the UE determines that it needs to obtain the TA associated with cell1 SSB1, or determines that it needs to obtain the TA of cell1 through SSB1 of cell1, and then performs the relevant operations for obtaining the TA of cell1. Among them, the relevant operations may include: triggering the TA acquisition process, or requesting the network to trigger the TA acquisition process.

[0667] Among them, the above step Four-1 and step Four-2 are independent and parallel steps.

[0668] Embodiment 2: Execution conditions (including entry conditions, execution condition entry conditions, departure conditions, execution condition departure conditions);

[0669] Embodiment 2-1: Entry condition (corresponding to the above first target condition);

[0670] The UE evaluates the first condition, where the first condition may include at least one of the following:

[0671] 1) The beam signal quality of the serving cell + X < (or ≤) the beam signal quality of the neighboring cell - the first preset deviation value + Y;

[0672] That is, the beam signal quality of the serving cell is less than (or less than or equal to) a certain deviation value of the beam signal quality of the neighboring cell (that is, the beam signal quality of the serving cell is less than (or less than or equal to) a certain deviation value compared to the beam signal quality of the neighboring cell). For example, the beam signal quality of cell (cell) 0 is Ms, the beam signal quality of cell1 is Mn, and the first preset deviation value is offset (offset) 1. One implementation of offset1 is network configuration. Then, if Ms + X < Mn - offset1 + Y, it is considered that the first condition is met.

[0673] 2) The number of beams satisfying 1) is greater than (or greater than or equal to) the first preset number of beams;

[0674] Assume that the number of the first preset beams is n, that is, the neighboring cell has more than (or not less than) n beams that meet the condition 1). One possible implementation method is that the beam signal quality of the serving cell described in 1) is the signal quality M of the beam with the best signal quality in the serving cell. s-best , when the neighboring area has more than n beams with a signal quality higher than M s-best If it is greater than a certain deviation value, such as offset1, then 2) is satisfied.

[0675] 3) Serving cell beam signal quality + X < (or ≤) second preset threshold + Y;

[0676] That is, the serving cell signal quality is lower than (or less than or equal to) a preset threshold. One implementation method is that the preset threshold is configured by the network;

[0677] 4) Neighboring cell beam signal quality + X > (or ≥) first preset threshold + Y;

[0678] That is, the signal quality of the neighboring cell is higher than (or greater than or equal to) a preset threshold. One implementation method is that the preset threshold is configured by the network;

[0679] 5) The number of beams satisfying 3) is greater than (or greater than or equal to) the first preset number of beams;

[0680] Assume that the first preset number of beams is n1, that is, the serving cell has more than (or not less than) n1 beams that meet condition 3);

[0681] 6) The number of beams satisfying 4) is greater than (or greater than or equal to) the first preset number of beams;

[0682] Assume that the first preset number of beams is n1, that is, the neighboring cell has more than (or not less than) n1 beams that meet the condition 4);

[0683] 7) Serving cell beam signal quality + X > (or ≥) the second preset threshold + Y;

[0684] That is, the serving cell signal quality is higher than (or greater than or equal to) a preset threshold. One implementation method is that the preset threshold is configured by the network;

[0685] 8) Neighboring cell beam signal quality + X < (or ≤) first preset threshold + Y;

[0686] That is, the signal quality of the neighboring cell is lower than (or less than or equal to) a preset threshold. One implementation method is that the preset threshold is configured by the network;

[0687] 9) The number of beams satisfying 7) is less than (or less than or equal to) the first preset number of beams;

[0688] Assume that the first preset number of beams is n1, that is, the serving cell has less than (or not more than) n1 beams that meet the condition 7);

[0689] 10) The number of beams satisfying 8) is less than (or less than or equal to) the first preset number of beams;

[0690] Assume that the first preset number of beams is n1, that is, the neighboring cell has more than (or no more than) n1 beams that meet the condition 8);

[0691] Among them, the above conditions can be independently configured to the UE, for example, only 1) is configured as the first condition, or combined with any two or more conditions to the UE as the first condition, for example, 3) and 4) are configured as the first condition at the same time. When the above combination is used as the first condition, the parameters involved can be independently configured, for example, when 5) and 6) are combined, the first preset number of beams configured for 5) and 6) respectively, that is, the first preset number of beams configured for 5) is n1, and the first preset number of beams configured for 6) is n2; it can also be a common parameter configuration for both 5) and 6), for example, a unique n is configured as the first preset number of beams for both 5) and 6). In addition, when the execution condition is a combination of the above multiple items (for example, 3) and 4), one implementation method is that when all items are met (that is, when 3) and 4) are met), the UE determines that the candidate cell or a beam of the candidate cell meets the execution condition; another implementation method is that when any one item is met (that is, when 3) or 4) is met), the UE determines that the candidate cell or a beam of the candidate cell meets the execution condition, but it is not limited to this.

[0692] In addition, X and / or Y involved in the above inequality may or may not exist. X and Y may be other parameters that affect the inequality and are not limited here.

[0693] Example 2-2: The UE determines that the execution condition is met and enters the evaluation condition (corresponding to the first evaluation condition above);

[0694] The UE evaluates the first condition according to Example 2-1, but when the following conditions are met, the UE considers that the execution condition entry condition is met:

[0695] a) satisfying the first condition within a first preset time;

[0696] Taking the first condition as 1) in Example 2-1 as an example, the first preset time is the target time (Time-to-Trigger, TTT). If 1) in Example 2-1 is always met during the TTT duration, it is considered that the execution condition entry condition is met.

[0697] b) within a first preset time period, the number of times the first condition is satisfied is greater than (or greater than or equal to) the first preset number of times;

[0698] Taking the first condition as 1) in Example 2-1 as an example, the first preset time is TTT, and the first preset number is n. Then within the TTT duration, the number of measurements is, for example, m. If the number of times 1) in Example 2-1 is satisfied is greater than (or greater than or equal to) n, it is considered that the execution condition entry condition is satisfied.

[0699] c) the probability of satisfying the first condition within the first preset time is greater than (or greater than or equal to) the first preset probability;

[0700] Taking the first condition as 1) in Example 2-1 as an example, the first preset time is TTT, and the first preset probability is 90%. Then, within the TTT duration, the number of measurements is, for example, m, and the number of times 1) in Example 2-1 is satisfied is n, where n / m>90%, then it is considered that the execution condition entry condition is satisfied.

[0701] d) the number of times the first condition is continuously satisfied is greater than (or greater than or equal to) a first preset number;

[0702] Taking the first condition as 1) in Example 2-1 as an example, the first preset number is n. If n consecutive measurements satisfy 1) in Example 2-1, it is considered that the execution condition and entry condition are satisfied.

[0703] e) within a first preset number of statistical times, the probability of satisfying the first condition is greater than (or greater than or equal to) a first preset probability;

[0704] Taking the first condition as 1) in Example 2-1 as an example, the first preset statistical number is m, and the first preset probability is 90%. Then, among m consecutive measurements, the number of times 1) in Example 2-1 is satisfied is n. When n / m>90%, it is considered that the execution condition and entry condition are satisfied.

[0705] f) within a first preset number of statistical times, the number of times the first condition is satisfied is greater than (or greater than or equal to) the first preset number of times;

[0706] Taking the first condition as 1) in Example 2-1 as an example, the first preset statistical number is m, and the first preset number is n. Then, among m consecutive measurements, if the number of times 1) in Example 2-1 is satisfied is greater than n, it is considered that the execution condition entry condition is satisfied.

[0707] g) satisfying the first condition;

[0708] Taking the first condition as 2) in Example 2-1 as an example, when this condition is met, it is considered that the execution condition entry condition is met.

[0709] h) the number of times the first condition is satisfied within the first preset time is less than (or less than or equal to) the first preset number;

[0710] Taking 7) in Example 2-1 as an example, the first preset time is TTT, and the first preset number is n. Then within the TTT duration, the number of measurements is, for example, m. If the number of times 7) in Example 2-1 is satisfied is less than (or less than or equal to) n, it is considered that the execution condition entry condition is satisfied.

[0711] i) the probability of satisfying the first condition within the first preset time is less than (or less than or equal to) the first preset probability;

[0712] Taking the first condition as 7) in Example 2-1 as an example, the first preset time is TTT, and the first preset probability is 10%. Then within the TTT duration, the number of measurements is, for example, m, and the number of times 7) in Example 2-1 is satisfied is n, where n / m<10%, then it is considered that the execution condition entry condition is satisfied.

[0713] j) within a first preset number of statistical times, the probability of satisfying the first condition is less than (or less than or equal to) a first preset probability;

[0714] Taking the first condition as 7) in Example 2-1 as an example, the first preset statistical number is m, and the first preset probability is 10%. Then, among m consecutive measurements, the number of times 7) in Example 2-1 is satisfied is n. When n / m<10%, it is considered that the execution condition and entry condition are met.

[0715] k) within a first preset number of statistical times, the number of times the first condition is satisfied is less than (or less than or equal to) the first preset number of times;

[0716] Taking the first condition as 7) in Example 2-1 as an example, the first preset statistical number is m, and the first preset number is n. Then, among m consecutive measurements, if the number of times 7) in Example 2-1 is satisfied is less than n, it is considered that the execution condition entry condition is satisfied.

[0717] Among them, the parameters involved above can be independently configured. For example, taking a) as an example, when conditions 3) and 4) are combined, the first preset time is configured for 3) and 4) respectively, that is, the first preset time configured for 3) is TTT1, and the first preset time configured for 4) is TTT2; it can also be a common parameter configured for both 3) and 4), for example, a unique TTT is configured as the first preset time for both 3) and 4).

[0718] In addition, when the execution condition is a combination of multiple conditions (for example, c) and d), one implementation method is that only when all conditions are met (i.e., both c) and d) are met) does the UE determine that the candidate cell or a beam of the candidate cell meets the execution condition; another implementation method is that only when any one condition is met (i.e., c) or d) is met) does the UE determine that the candidate cell or a beam of the candidate cell meets the execution condition, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The first condition in c) and d) may be the same or different.

[0719] Example 2-3: Leaving condition (corresponding to the second target condition above);

[0720] The UE evaluates a second condition, where the second condition may include at least one of the following:

[0721] 1) Serving cell beam signal quality + X > neighboring cell beam signal quality - first preset deviation value + Y;

[0722] That is, the beam signal quality of the serving cell is greater than the difference obtained by subtracting a certain offset value from the beam signal quality of the neighboring cell. For example, the beam signal quality of cell0 is Ms, and the beam signal quality of cell1 is Mn. The first preset offset value is offset1, where one implementation method of offset1 is network configuration. Then Ms+X>Mn-offset1+Y, and the second condition is considered to be met.

[0723] 2) The number of beams satisfying 1) is greater than the first preset number of beams;

[0724] Assume that the number of the first preset beams is n, that is, the serving cell has more than n beams that meet the condition 1). One possible implementation method is that the beam signal quality of the neighboring cell described in 1) is the signal quality M of the beam with the best signal quality in the neighboring cell. n-best , when the serving cell has more than n beams and the signal quality is greater than M n-best Subtracting the difference from a certain offset value (e.g., offset1) will satisfy 2).

[0725] 3) Serving cell beam signal quality + X > second preset threshold + Y;

[0726] That is, the signal quality of the serving cell is greater than a preset threshold. One implementation method is that the preset threshold is configured by the network.

[0727] 4) Neighboring cell beam signal quality + X < first preset threshold + Y;

[0728] That is, the signal quality of the neighboring cell is less than a preset threshold. One implementation method is that the preset threshold is configured by the network.

[0729] 5) The number of beams satisfying 3) is greater than the first preset number of beams;

[0730] Assume that the first preset number of beams is n1, that is, the serving cell has more than n1 beams that meet the condition 3).

[0731] 6) The number of beams satisfying 4) is greater than the first preset number of beams;

[0732] Assume that the first preset number of beams is n1, that is, there are more than n1 beams in the neighboring area that meet the condition 4).

[0733] 7) Serving cell beam signal quality + X < second preset threshold + Y;

[0734] That is, the signal quality of the serving cell is less than a preset threshold. One implementation method is that the preset threshold is configured by the network.

[0735] 8) Neighboring cell beam signal quality + X > first preset threshold + Y;

[0736] That is, the signal quality of the neighboring cell is greater than a preset threshold. One implementation method is that the preset threshold is configured by the network.

[0737] 9) The number of beams satisfying 7) is less than the first preset number of beams;

[0738] Assume that the first preset number of beams is n1, that is, the serving cell has less than n1 beams that meet the condition 7).

[0739] 10) The number of beams satisfying 8) is less than the first preset number of beams;

[0740] Assume that the first preset number of beams is n1, that is, there are more than n1 beams in the neighboring area that meet the condition 8).

[0741] Among them, the above conditions can be independently configured to the UE, for example, only 1) is configured as the second condition, or combined with any two or more of them to the UE as the second condition, for example, 3) and 4) are configured as the second condition at the same time. When the above combination is used as the second condition, the parameters involved can be independently configured, for example, when 5) and 6) are combined, the first preset number of beams configured for 5) and 6) respectively, that is, the first preset number of beams configured for 5) is n1, and the first preset number of beams configured for 6) is n2; it can also be a common parameter configuration for both 5) and 6), for example, a unique n is configured as the first preset number of beams for both 5) and 6). When the execution condition is a combination of the above multiple items (for example, 3) and 4), one implementation method is that when all items are met (that is, when 3) and 4) are met), the UE determines that the candidate cell or a beam of the candidate cell does not meet the execution condition; another implementation method is that when any one item is met (that is, when 3) or 4) is met), the UE determines that the candidate cell or a beam of the candidate cell does not meet the execution condition, but it is not limited to this.

[0742] X and Y involved in the above inequality may or may not exist. X and / or Y may be other parameters that affect the inequality and are not limited here.

[0743] Among them, the parameters involved in this embodiment may be the same as or different from the parameters configured in the first condition, and there is no restriction here; taking 1) in Example 2-1 and 1) in Example 2-3 as examples, taking the offset as an example, they can be configured separately, or one value can be configured for evaluating both the first condition and the second condition.

[0744] Embodiment 2-4: The UE determines that the execution condition leaving condition (corresponding to the above-mentioned second evaluation condition) is satisfied;

[0745] The UE evaluates the second condition according to embodiment 2-3, but when the following conditions are met, the UE considers that the execution condition and the leaving condition are met:

[0746] a) satisfying the second condition within the first preset time;

[0747] Taking the second condition as 1) in Example 2-3 as an example, the first preset time is TTT. If 1) in Example 2-3 is always satisfied during the duration of TTT, it is considered that the execution condition and the leaving condition are satisfied.

[0748] b) within the first preset time period, the second condition is satisfied for a number of times greater than (or greater than or equal to) the first preset number of times;

[0749] Taking the second condition as 1) in Example 2-3 as an example, the first preset time is TTT, and the first preset number is n. Then within the TTT duration, the number of measurements is, for example, m. If the number of times 1) in Example 2-3 is satisfied is greater than (or greater than or equal to) n, it is considered that the execution condition and the leaving condition are satisfied.

[0750] c) the probability of satisfying the second condition within the first preset time is greater than (or greater than or equal to) the first preset probability;

[0751] Taking the second condition as 1) in Example 2-3 as an example, the first preset time is TTT, and the first preset probability is 90%. Then, within the TTT duration, the number of measurements is, for example, m, and the number of times 1) in Example 2-3 is satisfied is n, where n / m>90%, then it is considered that the execution condition and the leaving condition are satisfied.

[0752] d) the number of times the second condition is continuously satisfied is greater than (or greater than or equal to) the first preset number of times;

[0753] Taking the second condition as 1) in Example 2-3 as an example, the first preset number is n, and if n consecutive measurements satisfy 1) in Example 2-3, it is considered that the execution condition and the exit condition are satisfied.

[0754] e) within a first preset number of statistical times, the probability of satisfying the second condition is greater than (or greater than or equal to) the first preset probability;

[0755] Taking the second condition as 1) in Example 2-3 as an example, the first preset statistical number is m, and the first preset probability is 90%. Then, among m consecutive measurements, the number of times 1) in Example 2-3 is satisfied is n. When n / m>90%, it is considered that the execution condition and the exit condition are satisfied.

[0756] f) within a first preset number of statistical times, the number of times the second condition is satisfied is greater than (or greater than or equal to) the first preset number of statistical times;

[0757] Taking the second condition as 1) in Example 2-3 as an example, the first preset statistical number is m, and the second preset number is n. Then, among m consecutive measurements, if the number of times 1) in Example 2-3 is met is greater than n, it is considered that the execution condition and the exit condition are met.

[0758] g) satisfying the second condition;

[0759] Taking the second condition as 2) in Example 2-3 as an example, when this condition is met, it is considered that the execution condition and the leaving condition are met;

[0760] h) the number of times the second condition is satisfied within the first preset time period is less than (or less than or equal to) the first preset number of times;

[0761] Taking 7) in Example 2-3 as an example, the first preset time is TTT, and the first preset number is n. Then within the TTT duration, the number of measurements is, for example, m. If the number of times 7) in Example 2-3 is satisfied is less than (or less than or equal to) n, it is considered that the execution condition and the leaving condition are satisfied.

[0762] i) the probability of satisfying the second condition within the first preset time is less than (or less than or equal to) the first preset probability;

[0763] Taking the second condition as 7) in Example 2-3 as an example, the first preset time is TTT, and the first preset probability is 10%. Then, within the TTT duration, the number of measurements is, for example, m, and the number of times 7) in Example 2-3 is satisfied is n, where n / m<10%, then it is considered that the execution condition and the exit condition are satisfied;

[0764] j) within a first preset number of statistical times, the probability of satisfying the second condition is less than (or less than or equal to) the first preset probability;

[0765] Taking the second condition as 7) in Example 2-3 as an example, the first preset statistical number is m, and the first preset probability is 10%. Then, among m consecutive measurements, the number of times 7) in Example 2-3 is satisfied is n. When n / m<10%, it is considered that the execution condition and the exit condition are satisfied.

[0766] k) within a first preset number of statistical times, the number of times the second condition is satisfied is less than (or less than or equal to) the first preset number of times;

[0767] Taking the second condition as 7) in Example 2-3 as an example, the first preset statistical number is m, and the second preset number is n. Then, among m consecutive measurements, if the number of times 7) in Example 2-3 is satisfied is less than n, it is considered that the execution condition and the exit condition are satisfied.

[0768] Among them, the parameters involved above can be independently configured. For example, taking a) as an example, when conditions 3) and 4) are combined, the first preset time is configured for 3) and 4) respectively, that is, the first preset time configured for 3) is TTT1, and the first preset time configured for 4) is TTT2; it can also be a common parameter configured for both 3) and 4), for example, a unique TTT is configured as the first preset time for both 3) and 4).

[0769] The parameters involved in this embodiment may be the same as or different from the parameters configured for the first condition, and this is not limited here. Taking 1) in Example 2-2 and 1) in Example 2-4 as examples, the first preset time can be configured separately, or a single value can be configured to evaluate both the first and second conditions.

[0770] In addition, when the execution condition is a combination of multiple conditions (for example, c) and d), one implementation method is that only when all conditions are met (i.e., c) and d) are met) does the UE determine that the candidate cell or a beam of the candidate cell does not meet the execution condition; another implementation method is that when any one condition is met (i.e., c) or d) is met), the UE determines that the candidate cell or a beam of the candidate cell does not meet the execution condition, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The second conditions in c) and d) may be the same or different.

[0771] Example 2-5: Cell beam signal quality;

[0772] The cell beam signal quality includes at least one of the following:

[0773] 1) The signal quality of the best beam in the cell. For example, if the serving cell has four beams, the beam with the best signal quality among the four beams is selected for evaluating the execution condition.

[0774] 2) The signal quality of the preset n best beams after filtering according to preset rules, where the preset value n can be a network configuration, for example, n = 2, the serving cell has 4 beams, and the 2 beams with the best signal quality among the 4 beams are selected and filtered according to the preset rules for the evaluation of the execution conditions.

[0775] 3) The beam signal quality of the beam above the preset threshold after filtering according to the preset rules, where the preset threshold can be a network configuration. For example, if the serving cell has 4 beams, and the signal quality of 2 of the 4 beams is higher than the threshold, the signal quality of the two beams above the threshold is selected and filtered according to the preset rules for the evaluation of the execution conditions.

[0776] 4) The signal quality of up to n best beams above a preset threshold, filtered according to preset rules. If the number of beams m above the threshold is less than n, then m beams are filtered according to the preset rules. For example, if n = 3, and the serving cell has 8 beams, and the signal quality of 2 of the 8 beams is above the threshold, the signal quality of the two beams above the threshold is selected and filtered according to the preset rules for evaluating the execution condition. Alternatively, if the signal quality of 4 of the 8 beams is above the threshold, the signal quality of the first 3 beams above the threshold is selected and filtered according to the preset rules for evaluating the execution condition.

[0777] 5) Signal quality of any beam. For example, if the serving cell has four beams, all four beams can be selected for evaluation of the execution condition (ie, the beam quality of all beams is used once for evaluation).

[0778] 6) The beam signal quality of all beams of the cell measured by the UE is obtained after filtering according to the preset rules. For example, if the serving cell has four beams and the UE can measure the signal quality of three beams, the beam signal quality obtained after filtering according to the preset rules is selected for evaluation;

[0779] 7) The signal quality of the worst beam in the cell is higher than the preset threshold. For example, if the serving cell has 8 beams and the signal quality of 3 beams among the 8 beams is higher than the preset threshold, the beam with the worst signal quality among the 3 beams is selected for evaluating the execution condition.

[0780] Among them, there is no restriction on whether the representation methods of the cell beam signal quality of the serving cell and the neighboring cell are the same or different. For example, taking 1) in Example 2-1 - that is, "1) serving cell beam signal quality + X < (or ≤) neighboring cell beam signal quality - first preset deviation value + Y" as an example, the serving cell (beam signal quality) involved in the evaluation can be the best beam (signal quality) of the cell, and the neighboring cell can be any beam (signal quality); or, the serving cell and the neighboring cell are both the average value of the (signal quality) of up to n best beams above the preset threshold, where n can be the same or configured to be different; or, the serving cell (beam signal quality) is the best beam (signal quality) of the cell, and the neighboring cell is the worst beam (signal quality) in the cell that is above the preset threshold, which is not limited here.

[0781] The beam signal quality may include at least one of the measurement results of parameters such as L1 SINR, L1 RSRP, and L1 RSRQ, and the specific implementation may be protocol provisions or network configuration.

[0782] Filtering according to a preset rule may include filtering based on an average of signal quality, or filtering according to a linear rule, which is not limited here.

[0783] Example 2-6: Signaling structure;

[0784] Before performing the evaluation, the UE receives at least one of the following configuration information from the network:

[0785] - A first time threshold (a time configuration for triggering execution, such as TTT, which may be equivalent to the first preset time in the above embodiment);

[0786] -L1 measurement threshold (for example, L1 RSRP, L1 SINR, or L1 RSRQ, which may be equivalent to the first preset threshold or the second preset threshold above);

[0787] -L1 measurement threshold deviation value (this deviation value is based on RSRP, RSRQ or SINR measured by L1, etc., and may be equivalent to the first preset deviation value above);

[0788] -The first number of beams (for example, the number of neighboring cell beams that satisfy the first deviation value may be equivalent to the first preset number of beams above).

[0789] - A first count number (equivalent to the first preset number above);

[0790] - a first probability (for example, the percentage of a beam measurement result exceeding a threshold within a preset time period, which may be equivalent to the first preset probability);

[0791] - A first statistical number (i.e., the total number, which may be equivalent to a first preset statistical number);

[0792] - Measurement cell configuration, such as pre-configured cell ID, measurement frequency, measurement PCI, or SSB configuration information (e.g., SSB measurement time window, or SSB burst bitmap);

[0793] It is hereby explained that the above configuration, as described in the above embodiments, can be configured separately for the serving cell and the neighboring cell, or only one common value can be configured for the serving cell and the neighboring cell (for example, only one first time threshold is configured for both the serving cell and the neighboring cell, but the L1 measurement threshold is configured for both the serving cell and the neighboring cell). Any parameter may be a common configuration for the serving cell and the neighboring cell or a common configuration for the cell group, but it can also be configured separately for the serving cell and the neighboring cell, which is not limited here. At the same time, meeting the execution conditions and not meeting the execution conditions are not limited to separate configurations. For example, TTT is configured separately to support the judgment of whether the execution conditions are met and whether the execution conditions are not met, that is, TTT1 is used to judge whether the conditions are met, and TTT2 is used to judge whether the leaving conditions are met. Alternatively, only one TTT can be configured to be used to judge whether the execution conditions or the leaving conditions are met.

[0794] In which, in a specific implementation, any or all of the above parameters are configured per candidate cell, for example, each candidate cell is configured with a first time threshold, an L1 measurement threshold and / or an L1 measurement threshold deviation value; or, any or all of the above parameters are publicly configured to apply to all candidate cells (for example, the first time threshold is publicly configured, and all candidate cells are evaluated using the same first time threshold) or publicly configured to apply to candidate cell groups (for example, the first time threshold is configured, and the evaluation of candidate cells in candidate cell group 1 uses the same first time threshold; the second time threshold is configured, and the evaluation of candidate cells in candidate cell group 2 uses the same second time threshold, and each candidate cell group contains at least one candidate cell); or, the first time threshold is publicly configured (all candidate cells are evaluated using the same first time threshold), but each candidate cell is individually configured with an L1 measurement threshold deviation value, but is not limited to this.

[0795] It is noted here that any of the above parameters can be configured to different protocol layers, or to the same protocol layer, for example, all parameters are configured in the RRC layer; or, some parameters are configured to the physical layer, and some parameters are configured to the MAC layer (for example, the L1 measurement threshold is configured to the physical layer, and the first count number is configured to the MAC layer). There is no restriction here.

[0796] Example 3: Selection of target cell and target beam;

[0797] The execution conditions of this solution can be configured in a combination of at least the following two items:

[0798] (1) Define an event that includes both the serving cell and the neighboring cell or only the neighboring cell;

[0799] (2) Define multiple events, for example, two events, event 1 includes the serving cell and event 2 includes the configuration of the neighboring cell;

[0800] (3) The UE determines that the candidate cell can be selected as the target cell only if the above execution conditions are met at the same time. Alternatively, the candidate cell can be selected as the target cell if any one of the execution conditions is met. When the exit condition of the execution condition is met, the candidate cell cannot be selected as the target cell.

[0801] Specifically, the selection of target cells and target beams is as follows:

[0802] 1. Target community;

[0803] When at least one candidate cell meets the execution condition, for example, both cell 1 and cell 2 meet the execution condition, the UE may determine the target cell in the following manner:

[0804] 1) UE selects the target cell based on the UE implementation. The UE implementation selects cell1 or cell2 as the target cell.

[0805] 2) The UE selects the cell with the best beam signal quality as the target cell. For example, if the signal quality of the best beam of cell 1 is higher than that of cell 2, cell 1 is selected.

[0806] 3) The UE selects the cell with the largest number of beams that meets the first condition as the target cell. For example, if cell 1 has three beams larger than the preset threshold, and cell 2 has two beams larger than the preset threshold, cell 1 is selected.

[0807] 4) The UE selects the cell with the highest beam signal quality after filtering according to a preset rule as the target cell. For example, according to any of 2), 3), and 4) mentioned in the above embodiments 2-5, the beam signal quality is obtained after filtering according to the preset rule. If the beam signal quality of cell 1 is greater than the beam signal quality of cell 2, then cell 1 is selected as the target cell. The filtering according to the preset rule can be filtering by averaging the signal quality or filtering according to a linear rule.

[0808] 5) The UE selects all cells that meet the execution conditions as target cells. For example, if both candidate cells cell1 and cell2 meet the execution conditions, the UE selects both cell1 and cell2 as target cells. One possible application scenario is to determine that both cell1 and cell2 are target cells for TA management, such as triggering operations related to cell1 and cell2 obtaining TA.

[0809] 6) The UE selects the cell with the best cell-level measurement result as the target cell. For example, the cell-level signal quality of cell 1 and cell 2 based on L3 measurement is calculated respectively, and the cell-level signal quality is compared. For example, if the cell 1 signal quality is greater than the cell 2 signal quality, cell 1 is selected as the target cell.

[0810] 2. Target beam;

[0811] Methods for determining the target beam of the target cell include:

[0812] 1) The beam with the best signal quality is the target beam. For example, if the target cell has four beams, the beam with the best signal quality is selected for access.

[0813] 2) The beam with the best quality after filtering according to a preset rule within a first preset time is selected as the target beam. For example, if the target cell has four beams, the signal quality of the four beams (or beams that meet the first condition) is filtered according to the preset rule within the first preset time. The filtering according to the preset rule can be filtering by taking the average of the signal quality, or filtering by calculating according to a linear rule, and the beam with the best quality after filtering is selected as the target beam;

[0814] 3) The beam with the best quality after filtering according to a preset rule within a first preset number of times is selected as the target beam. For example, if the target cell has four beams, the signal quality of the four beams (or beams that meet the first condition) is filtered according to the preset rule within the first preset number of times. The filtering according to the preset rule can be filtering by taking an average of the signal quality, or filtering by calculating according to a linear rule, and the beam with the best quality after filtering is selected as the target beam;

[0815] 4) The beam that meets the first condition and arrives first (the target beam) is selected. For example, if the target cell has four beams, and both beam 1 and beam 2 meet the first condition, but beam 1 arrives earlier than beam 2, beam 1 is selected as the target beam.

[0816] 5) UE-based selection. For example, if the target cell has four beams, the UE selects any beam as the target beam, or if both beam 1 and beam 2 meet the first condition, the UE selects beam 1 or beam 2 as the target beam. 6) Among the beams contained in the target cell, the beam that meets the execution condition and is associated with pre-configured uplink resources is selected as the target beam. For example, if the target cell has four beams, and beams 1, 2, and 3 all meet the execution condition, but beam 1 is associated with uplink pre-configured resources, beam 1 is selected as the target beam.

[0817] 7) Among the beams included in the target cell, the beam that meets the execution condition, is associated with the pre-configured uplink resources, and reaches the terminal first is selected as the target beam; for example, the target cell has four beams, of which beams 1, 2, and 3 all meet the execution condition, but beams 1 and 2 are associated with uplink pre-configured resources, but beam 1 arrives earlier than beam 2, then beam 1 is selected as the target beam;

[0818] 8) A beam that meets the first condition. For example, if the target cell has 4 beams and beam 1 meets the first condition, beam 1 is selected as the target beam. Alternatively, if the target cell has 4 beams and both beam 1 and beam 2 meet the first condition, both beam 1 and beam 2 are selected as target beams.

[0819] If the number of target cells is greater than 1, the above target beam selection is to select the target beam for each beam in each target cell respectively.

[0820] Example 4: Evaluation and decision protocol layer;

[0821] Example 4-1: The physical layer performs measurement and reporting, and the MAC layer performs evaluation;

[0822] First, perform step 1a or step 1b:

[0823] Step 1a: The UE physical layer performs L1 measurements and reports the measurement results to the MAC layer, where the measurement results may include indication information of candidate cells and / or beams;

[0824] Step 1b: The UE physical layer performs L1 measurement and evaluates and reports according to the configuration information of the configured execution conditions. For example, it determines whether to report indication information to the MAC layer based on the configured measurement threshold, such as:

[0825] - The measurement result of the candidate cell (e.g., cell1) meets the first condition of embodiment 2-1, and the UE physical layer reports indication information to the MAC layer, where the indication information indicates that cell1 meets the condition, or the indication information indicates that beam 1 of cell11 meets the condition; or,

[0826] -The measurement result of the candidate cell (for example, cell1) meets the second condition of Example 2-3, and the UE physical layer reports indication information to the MAC layer, where the indication information indicates that cell1 does not meet the condition, or the indication information indicates that beam 1 of cell11 does not meet the condition.

[0827] Step 2: The MAC layer of the UE receives the indication information of the physical layer, and performs statistics and evaluation in accordance with Example 2-2 and Implementation 2-4, for example: judging whether the entry condition or the exit condition of the execution condition is met based on the number of indication information that meets the conditions received within a preset time; or MAC performs an evaluation in accordance with Example 2 based on the measurement results reported by the physical layer, for example, judging whether the entry condition or the exit condition of the execution condition is met based on whether the measurement results within a preset time meet a preset threshold.

[0828] Step 3: The MAC layer of the UE determines that the candidate cell meets the entry conditions of the execution conditions, and then executes:

[0829] -MAC decision cell management, or,

[0830] -MAC indicates the RRC layer, and the RRC layer makes cell management decisions, where the MAC indication information may include indication information of the target cell and / or target beam.

[0831] Example 4-2: The physical layer performs measurement and evaluation;

[0832] Step 1: The UE physical layer performs L1 measurement and performs evaluation according to the configuration information of the configured execution condition, and determines the candidate cell that meets the execution condition according to the above embodiment 2.

[0833] Step 3: The UE's physical layer determines that the candidate cell meets the execution conditions and then executes:

[0834] - Physical layer decision cell management, or,

[0835] -The physical layer instructs the MAC layer and then the RRC layer, and the cell management decision is made by the MAC layer or the RRC layer, where the physical layer indication information may include indication information of the target cell and / or target beam.

[0836] Example 4-3: The RRC layer performs evaluation based on the indication information reported by the bottom layer;

[0837] First, perform step 1a or step 1b:

[0838] Step 1a: The UE performs L1 measurements and reports the measurement results to the RRC layer, where the measurement results include information indicating the candidate cells and / or beams.

[0839] Step 1b: The UE performs L1 measurement at the bottom layer and evaluates and reports according to the configuration information of the configured execution conditions. For example, it determines whether to report the indication information to the RRC layer based on the configured measurement threshold, such as:

[0840] The measurement result of the candidate cell (e.g., cell 1) meets the first condition of embodiment 2-1. The UE bottom layer reports indication information to the RRC layer, where the indication information indicates that cell 1 meets the condition, or the indication information indicates that beam 1 of cell 11 meets the condition.

[0841] -The measurement result of the candidate cell (for example, cell1) meets the second condition of Example 2-3, and the UE bottom layer reports indication information to the RRC layer, where the indication information indicates that cell1 does not meet the condition, or the indication information indicates that beam 1 of cell11 does not meet the condition.

[0842] Step 2: The RRC layer of the UE receives the measurement result or indication information reported by the bottom layer, and performs an evaluation according to Example 2, for example: judging whether the entry condition or the exit condition of the execution condition is met based on the number of indication information that meets the condition received within a preset time, or judging whether the entry condition or the exit condition of the execution condition is met based on whether the measurement result meets the preset threshold within the preset time.

[0843] Step 3: The RRC layer of the UE determines that the candidate cell meets the entry conditions of the execution conditions, and then the RRC makes a cell management decision.

[0844] The bottom layer may be a physical layer or a MAC layer, without limitation.

[0845] It is to be noted that the relevant contents of the above embodiments can be referred to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated here.

[0846] As described above, the solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can support: the UE determines whether candidate cells meet the execution conditions according to the execution condition evaluation based on L1 measurements; when the execution conditions are determined to be met, the UE selects the target cell and target beam for cell management.
