[0114] In some embodiments, the UE needs to periodically perform RRM (Radio Resource Management) measurements to determine the appropriate cell to access and ensure the reliability of the wireless communication connection. For example, RRM measurements are divided into the following situations: (1) RRM measurement of the serving cell; (2) RRM measurement of the intra-frequency cell; (3) RRM measurement of the inter-frequency cell. The RRM measurement of the inter-frequency cell is divided into three situations: high, medium, and low according to the frequency priority of each inter-frequency cell.

[0115] For example, for RRM measurement of the serving cell, the UE shall perform at least one RRM measurement every M1*N1 DRX (Discontinuous Reception) period. SMTC >20ms, and the DRX cycle ≤0.64s, then M1=2; otherwise M1=1; for the serving cell signal in the frequency range FR1 (Frequency range 1), N1=1.

[0116] For RRM measurements of other intra-frequency cells and inter-frequency cells, the interval period of RRM measurements can be increased under the preset conditions, thereby reducing the RRM measurement frequency and achieving power saving. For example, for RRM measurements of intra-frequency cells, when the RRM measurement of the serving cell meets the first condition (Srxlev>SIntraSearchP and Squal>SIntraSearchQ), the UE may not perform RRM measurements of the intra-frequency cells, where the first condition is: Srxlev>S IntraSearch-P , and Squal>S IntraSearch-Q , Srxlev is the signal strength of the UE received signal, S IntraSearch-P is the signal strength threshold for switching within the cell, Squal is the signal quality of the UE receiving signal, S IntraSearch-Q is the quality threshold for intra-cell signal switching; when the RRM measurement of the serving cell does not meet the first condition, the UE needs to frequently perform RRM measurements of the same-frequency cell based on a first set period. For example, the first set period indicates that the UE performs at least one RRM measurement in each DRX cycle.

[0117] For the RRM measurement of inter-frequency cells, when the RRM measurement result of the serving cell meets the second condition, the UE may not perform RRM measurement of the inter-frequency cells with medium and low frequency priority; wherein the second condition is: Srxlev>S nonIntraSearch-P , and Squal>S nonIntraSearch-Q , Srxlev is the signal strength of the UE received signal, S nonIntraSearch-P is the signal strength threshold for inter-cell signal switching, Squal is the signal quality of the UE receiving signal, S nonIntraSearch-Q is the quality threshold for inter-cell signal handover; when the RRM measurement result of the serving cell does not meet the second condition, the UE needs to frequently perform RRM measurements of the inter-frequency cell based on a second set period. For example, the second set period indicates that the UE performs RRM measurements at least once every X DRX cycles, where X is greater than or equal to 1. The value of X may be related to the number of inter-frequency points.

[0118] In some embodiments, for RRM measurements of intra-frequency cells, when the RRM measurement of the serving cell does not satisfy the first condition but satisfies the third condition (not at cell edge), the UE's RRM measurement period for the intra-frequency cell may be increased to K times the first set period. For example, if K = 3, the UE performs an RRM measurement of the intra-frequency cell once every three times the first set period. When the signal strength of the signal received by the UE and the signal threshold are greater than the third threshold, it is determined that the RRM measurement result of the serving cell satisfies the third condition.

[0119] In some implementations, for RRM measurements of inter-frequency cells, when the RRM measurement of the serving cell does not meet the second condition but meets the third condition, the UE's RRM measurement period may be increased to K times the second set period, for example, K = 3. When the RRM measurement of the serving cell meets the second condition, the UE may or may not relax the RRM measurement period for inter-frequency cells with high frequency priority.

[0120] In some embodiments, in order to further save power for the UE, a low-power wake-up receiver (LP-WUR) mechanism can be introduced to reduce the power consumption of the UE during the RRM measurement process. For example, in the power saving state, the UE can put the main receiver (Main Radio, MR) into the ultra-deep sleep state, and turn on the LP-WUR to listen for the wake-up signal (LP-WUS) that supports low-power reception. When the LP-WUR detects the LP-WUS (wake-up signal) for the UE, the UE turns on the MR for normal interactive transmission. The LP-WUS mechanism can greatly reduce the power consumption of the MR, and the power consumption of the LP-WUR is very low, so that the UE can obtain greater power saving gains.

[0121] In some implementations, to support LP-WUR synchronization requirements and LP-WUR-based RRM measurements, a low-power synchronization signal (LP-SS) is introduced. However, in pursuit of maximum power saving, the reception performance of LP-WUR is lower than that of MR, resulting in the inability of LP-WUR-based RRM measurements and wake-up signal reception to support full network coverage. In view of this, this proposal provides an RRM measurement method based on LP-WUS. Based on the above-supported RRM measurement mechanism, the UE can achieve greater power saving gains while meeting the UE's mobility and RRM measurement requirements.

[0122] FIG2 is an interactive diagram of an RRM measurement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2 , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to an RRM measurement method, which is performed by a terminal 101 and a network device 102. The method includes:

[0123] In step S2101, the terminal 101 performs radio resource management (RRM) measurement on the serving cell based on the first receiver, and generates an RRM measurement result.

[0124] For example, in this embodiment, terminal 101 performs RRM measurements on signals received in the current serving cell based on the first receiver to determine whether the signal of the currently used serving cell meets the quality requirements of communication interaction, and generates RRM measurement results. The RRM measurement results are used to optimize and control the allocation and use of radio resources.

[0125] In some embodiments, the first receiver includes a MR and / or a LP-WUR.

[0126] For example, in this embodiment, the terminal 101 is configured with MR and / or LP-WUR for receiving communication signals. RRM measurements can be performed on the communication signals of the current service cell through MR and / or LP-WUR to generate RRM measurement results of the service cell.

[0127] Step S2102 : The terminal 101 determines, based on the RRM measurement result, the measurement behavior of the terminal in the first cell based on the primary receiver.

[0128] In some embodiments, the measurement behavior may include an RRM measurement period of the primary receiver MR in the first cell. For example, based on the RRM measurement result, it is determined that the measurement period of the primary receiver in the first cell is Y, and the UE performs RRM measurement of the first cell at least once at an interval of Y period based on the primary receiver.

[0129] In some implementations, the first cell may be a serving cell, an intra-frequency cell, or an inter-frequency cell.

[0130] In some implementations, the above step S2102 includes:

[0131] Determining that the RRM measurement result satisfies the first condition, controlling the primary receiver not to perform the RRM measurement of the serving cell, or controlling the primary receiver to perform the RRM measurement of the serving cell at least every M discontinuous reception (DRX) cycles;

[0132] Determining that the RRM measurement result does not satisfy the first condition and the RRM measurement result satisfies the fourth condition, controlling the primary receiver to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least every N DRX cycles, where M>N;

[0133] Determining that the RRM measurement result does not satisfy the fourth condition and the RRM measurement result satisfies the sixth condition, controlling the primary receiver to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least every K DRX cycles, where N>K and K>1;

[0134] It is determined that the RRM measurement result does not meet the sixth condition, and the primary receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least every DRX cycle.

[0135] In some embodiments, the first condition, the second condition, the third condition, the fourth condition, the fifth condition, or the sixth condition is based on an RRM measurement value and a corresponding threshold of an RRM measurement performed by a first receiver on a serving cell, and the first receiver includes an MR and / or an LP-WUR.

[0136] For example, in this embodiment, the execution period of the RRM measurement behavior of the primary receiver is divided into multiple condition intervals through the first condition, the second condition, the third condition, the fourth condition, the fifth condition and / or the sixth condition. For example, the position of the condition interval where the RRM measurement result is located is determined by whether the RRM measurement result satisfies the first condition, the second condition, the third condition, the fourth condition, the fifth condition and / or the sixth condition.

[0137] For example, based on the first condition, the second condition, and / or the third condition of the above-mentioned RRM measurement, the fourth condition and the fifth condition for processing the RRM measurement of LP-WUR are introduced in this embodiment. According to the RRM measurement value of the serving cell, the RRM measurement results of the serving cell, the same-frequency cell and / or the different-frequency cell can be divided into multiple intervals, and a suitable RRM measurement mechanism can be defined in each interval respectively. For example, based on the multiple intervals where the RRM measurement results are located, different measurement interval periods are allocated to the RRM measurement of the UE, thereby improving the point-saving effect of the UE during the RRM measurement process.

[0138] In some embodiments, the first condition, the second condition, and / or the third condition may be based on the RRM measurement value of the serving cell by the MR and the corresponding threshold. Alternatively, the first condition, the second condition, and / or the third condition may be based on the RRM measurement value of the serving cell by the LP-WUR and the corresponding threshold. Alternatively, the first condition, the second condition, and / or the third condition may be based on a pair of RRM measurement values ​​of the serving cell by the MR and the LP-WUR and a corresponding pair of thresholds. Wherein, the method of adopting a pair of thresholds is: when the UE has available RRM measurement results based on the MR and RRM measurement results based on the LP-WUR, only when both the RRM measurement results of the MR and the RRM measurement results of the LP-WUR meet the threshold requirements, the UE considers that the corresponding condition is met. Alternatively, only when the RRM measurement results of the MR meet the threshold requirements, the UE considers that the corresponding condition is met. Alternatively, as long as one of the RRM measurement results of the MR and the RRM measurement results of the LP-WUR meets the threshold requirements, the UE considers that the corresponding condition is met. For the method using a pair of thresholds, when the UE has only one RRM measurement result of an MR or an RRM measurement result of an LP-WUR available, the UE determines whether the corresponding condition is met based on the available RRM measurement.

[0139] In some implementations, the fourth condition may be based on the MR's RRM measurement value of the serving cell and a corresponding threshold, or the fourth condition may be based on the LP-WUR's RRM measurement value of the serving cell and a corresponding threshold. Alternatively, the fourth condition may be based on the MR's RRM measurement result and the LP-WUR's RRM measurement result of the serving cell and a pair of corresponding thresholds. When the RRM measurement value of the serving cell is greater than the corresponding threshold, the UE is considered to meet the fourth condition.

[0140] In some embodiments, the fifth condition can be used to determine whether the RRM measurement of LP-WUR is available, that is, when the UE meets the fifth condition, it is determined that the RRM measurement based on LP-WUR in the UE is available. For example, when the RRM measurement accuracy of LP-WUR meets the fifth condition, it is considered that the RRM measurement of LP-WUR can be used as a reference for processing other RRM processes. The fifth condition can also be used to refer to whether the reception performance of the LP-WUS wake-up signal meets the performance requirements. When the reception performance of the LP-WUR wake-up signal of the UE meets the performance requirements, it is determined that the UE meets the fifth condition. For example, the fifth condition is related to the coverage range that LP-WUR can support. The larger the coverage range that LP-WUR in the UE can support, the smaller the threshold corresponding to the fifth condition; the smaller the coverage range that LP-WUR can support, the larger the threshold corresponding to the fifth condition.

[0141] In some embodiments, the first condition includes a first threshold based on the primary receiver performing RRM measurements on the first cell;

[0142] The second condition includes a second threshold for performing RRM measurements on the first cell based on the primary receiver;

[0143] The fourth condition includes a fourth threshold for performing RRM measurements on the first cell based on the primary receiver;

[0144] The sixth condition is that the third and fifth conditions are met;

[0145] The third condition includes a third threshold for performing RRM measurements on the first cell based on the primary receiver;

[0146] The fifth condition is that the RRM measurement results of LP-WUR meet the preset usage conditions;

[0147] Among them, the first threshold>the fourth threshold>the third threshold, the second threshold>the fourth threshold>the third threshold.

[0148] For example, in this embodiment, the first threshold is used to indicate the first threshold for the primary receiver to perform RRM measurement on the first cell, the second threshold is used to indicate the second threshold for the primary receiver to perform RRM measurement on the first cell, the third threshold is used to indicate the third threshold for the primary receiver to perform RRM measurement on the first cell, the fourth threshold is used to indicate the fourth threshold for the primary receiver to perform RRM measurement on the first cell, and the fifth threshold is used to indicate the fifth threshold for the primary receiver to perform RRM measurement on the first cell. The sixth condition is that the third condition and the fifth condition are met, that is, when the RRM measurement result meets the third condition and the fifth condition, it is determined that the RRM measurement result meets the sixth condition.

[0149] For example, in this embodiment, the first cell is a serving cell, and the RRM measurement result determination interval period is divided into four intervals according to the first threshold value of the first condition, the fourth threshold value of the fourth condition, and the sixth threshold value of the sixth condition:

[0150] Interval 1: If the RRM measurement result satisfies the first condition, the primary receiver is controlled not to perform RRM measurements on the serving cell, or is controlled to perform RRM measurements on the serving cell at least once every M DRX cycles. Specifically, if the RRM measurement result is greater than the first threshold, the primary receiver is controlled not to perform RRM measurements on the serving cell, or is controlled to perform RRM measurements on the serving cell at least once every M DRX cycles, where M>1.

[0151] Interval 2: When it is determined that the RRM measurement result does not meet the first condition and the RRM measurement result meets the fourth condition, that is, when the first threshold > the RRM measurement result > the fourth threshold, the primary receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least once every N DRX cycles, where M > N.

[0152] Interval 3: When it is determined that the RRM measurement result does not meet the fourth condition and the RRM measurement result meets the sixth condition, that is, when the fourth threshold > the RRM measurement result > the sixth threshold, the primary receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least once every K DRX cycles, where N > K and K > 1.

[0153] Interval 4: determining that the RRM measurement result does not satisfy the sixth condition, that is, the sixth threshold > the RRM measurement result, and controlling the primary receiver to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least once per DRX cycle.

[0154] In some implementations, M, N, and K are predefined parameters or high-layer signaling configuration parameters.

[0155] For example, in this embodiment, the values ​​of M, N, and K are all greater than 1, and M>N>K. The configuration of M, N, and K can be determined by predefined parameters in the terminal 101 or by high-layer signaling configuration parameters sent by the network device 102.

[0156] In some embodiments, the fifth condition includes a fifth threshold for performing RRM measurements on the serving cell based on the LP-WUR;

[0157] The third threshold > the fifth threshold, or the fourth threshold > the fifth threshold > the third threshold.

[0158] For example, the fifth condition in this embodiment is used to indicate the fifth threshold for RRM measurement of the serving cell based on LR-WUR in the UE. If the LP-WUR coverage range is large, the third threshold corresponding to the third condition is greater than the fifth threshold; if the LP-WUR coverage range is small, the fifth threshold is greater than the third threshold.

[0159] Step S2103: The network device 102 sends the first information.

[0160] In some implementations, the first information is used to indicate a period for the terminal to perform RRM measurement according to the first information.

[0161] In some implementations, the name of the first information is not limited. For example, the first information may also be called: "RRM measurement period information", "RRM measurement interval period information", "RRM measurement parameter indication information", "RRM measurement configuration parameter", etc.

[0162] In some embodiments, the first information includes at least one of M, N, and K.

[0163] For example, in this embodiment, the first information is used to indicate at least one of M, N, and K in the above embodiment, where M>N>K>1.

[0164] In some implementations, the first cell is a co-frequency cell of the serving cell, and step S2102 includes:

[0165] It is determined that the RRM measurement result does not meet the first condition and the RRM measurement result meets the fourth condition, and the primary receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurement of the intra-frequency cell at least every N DRX cycles.

[0166] For example, the first cell is a co-frequency cell of the serving cell. In this embodiment, the RRM measurement period of the co-frequency cell is determined based on the RRM measurement result. The RRM measurement period of the co-frequency cell is divided into four intervals by the first threshold of the first condition and the fourth threshold of the fourth condition.

[0167] Interval 1: If it is determined that the RRM measurement result meets the first condition, that is, the RRM measurement result is greater than the first threshold, the UE may not perform RRM measurement on the same-frequency cell;

[0168] Interval 2: If it is determined that the RRM measurement result does not meet the first condition and meets the fourth condition, that is, the first threshold > RRM measurement result > fourth threshold, the primary receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurement of the same-frequency cell at least once every N DRX cycles.

[0169] Interval 3: If it is determined that the RRM measurement result does not satisfy the fourth condition and satisfies the third condition, that is, the RRM measurement result is greater than the third threshold, the primary receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurement on the intra-frequency cell at least once every K DRX cycles, where N>K and K>1.

[0170] Interval 4: if it is determined that the RRM measurement result does not satisfy the third condition, that is, the third threshold > the RRM measurement result, the primary receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurement on the intra-frequency cell at least once per DRX cycle.

[0171] In some implementations, the first cell is an inter-frequency cell of the serving cell, and step S2102 includes:

[0172] It is determined that the RRM measurement result does not meet the second condition and the RRM measurement result meets the fourth condition, and the primary receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurement of the inter-frequency cell at least every N*X DRX cycles.

[0173] For example, the first cell is an inter-frequency cell of the serving cell. In this embodiment, the RRM measurement period of the inter-frequency cell is determined based on the RRM measurement result. The RRM measurement period of the inter-frequency cell is divided into four intervals by the first threshold of the first condition and the fourth threshold of the fourth condition.

[0174] Interval 1: If it is determined that the RRM measurement result meets the second condition, that is, the RRM measurement result is greater than the second threshold, the UE may not perform RRM measurement on the same-frequency cell for inter-frequency cells with medium and low frequency priorities; for inter-frequency cells with high frequency priority, the UE may reduce the frequency of RRM measurement. For example, RRM measurement of the inter-frequency cell is performed at least once every 60*Nlayers seconds, where Nlayers represents the number of antennas or antenna layers used simultaneously in the current communication system.

[0175] Interval 2: If it is determined that the RRM measurement result does not meet the second condition and the RRM measurement result meets the fourth condition, that is, the second condition > RRM measurement result > fourth threshold, then the primary receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurement of the inter-frequency cell at least once every N*X DRX cycles, where N > 1 and X is determined based on a preset measurement rule.

[0176] Interval 3: If it is determined that the RRM measurement result does not meet the fourth condition and the RRM measurement result meets the third condition, that is, the RRM measurement result is greater than the third threshold, the primary receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurement of the inter-frequency cell at least once every K*X DRX cycles, where N>K and X is determined based on a preset rule.

[0177] Interval 4: If it is determined that the RRM measurement result does not meet the third condition (i.e., the third threshold > the RRM measurement result), the primary receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurements on the inter-frequency cell at least once every X DRX cycles, where X is determined based on a preset rule. For example, the value of X may be related to the number of inter-frequency points.

[0178] In some implementations, the first cell is a serving cell, and step S2102 includes:

[0179] Determining that the RRM measurement result satisfies a fourth condition, and controlling the primary receiver to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least every N DRX cycles;

[0180] Determining that the RRM measurement result does not satisfy the fourth condition and the RRM measurement result satisfies the sixth condition, controlling the primary receiver to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least every K DRX cycles, where N>K;

[0181] It is determined that the RRM measurement result does not meet the sixth condition, and the primary receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least every DRX cycle.

[0182] For example, in this embodiment, the first cell is a serving cell. In this embodiment, the RRM measurement period of the serving cell is determined based on the RRM measurement result. The RRM measurement period of the serving cell is divided into three intervals by the fourth threshold of the fourth condition and the sixth threshold of the sixth condition.

[0183] Interval 1: if it is determined that the RRM measurement result satisfies the fourth condition, that is, the RRM measurement result is greater than the fourth threshold, the primary receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least once every N DRX cycles, where N>1.

[0184] Interval 2: If it is determined that the RRM measurement result does not meet the fourth condition and meets the sixth condition, that is, the fourth threshold > RRM measurement result > sixth threshold, the primary receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least once every K DRX cycles, where N > K.

[0185] Interval 3: if it is determined that the RRM measurement result does not satisfy the sixth condition, ie, the sixth threshold > the RRM measurement result, the primary receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least once per DRX cycle.

[0186] In some implementations, the first cell is a serving cell, and step S2102 includes:

[0187] Determining that the RRM measurement result satisfies a first condition, controlling the primary receiver not to perform the RRM measurement of the serving cell, or controlling the primary receiver to perform the RRM measurement of the serving cell at least every M DRX cycles;

[0188] Determining that the RRM measurement result does not satisfy the first condition and the RRM measurement result satisfies the fourth condition, controlling the primary receiver to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least every N DRX cycles, where M>N;

[0189] It is determined that the RRM measurement result does not satisfy the fourth condition and the RRM measurement result satisfies the sixth condition, and the primary receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least every DRX cycle.

[0190] In this example, the first cell is a serving cell. In this embodiment, the RRM measurement period of the serving cell is determined based on the RRM measurement result. The RRM measurement period of the serving cell is divided into three intervals by the first threshold of the first condition, the fourth threshold of the fourth condition, and the sixth threshold of the sixth condition.

[0191] Interval 1: Determine that the RRM measurement satisfies the first condition, ie, the RRM measurement result is greater than the first threshold, and control the primary receiver not to perform the RRM measurement of the serving cell, or control the primary receiver to perform the RRM measurement of the serving cell at least once every M DRX cycles.

[0192] Interval 2: If it is determined that the RRM measurement result does not meet the first condition and the RRM measurement result meets the fourth condition, that is, the first threshold > RRM measurement result > fourth threshold, then the primary receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least once every N DRX cycles, where M > N > 1.

[0193] Interval 3: If it is determined that the RRM measurement result does not meet the fourth condition and meets the sixth condition, that is, the fourth threshold > RRM measurement result > sixth threshold, the primary receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least once per DRX cycle.

[0194] In some implementations, the first cell is a serving cell, and step S2102 includes:

[0195] Determining that the RRM measurement result satisfies a fourth condition, and controlling the primary receiver to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least every N DRX cycles;

[0196] It is determined that the RRM measurement result does not meet the fourth condition, and the primary receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least every DRX cycle.

[0197] For example, the first cell is a serving cell. In this embodiment, the RRM measurement period of the serving cell is determined based on the RRM measurement result. The RRM measurement period of the serving cell is divided into two intervals by the fourth threshold of the fourth condition.

[0198] Interval 1: If the RRM measurement result satisfies the fourth condition, ie, the RRM measurement result is greater than the fourth threshold, the primary receiver is controlled to perform RRM measurement of the serving cell at least once every N DRX cycles, where N>1.

[0224] FIG5a is a schematic diagram illustrating an RRM measurement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG5a , an embodiment of the present disclosure relates to an RRM measurement method, the method comprising:

[0225] In step S5101, the terminal 101 performs RRM measurement on the serving cell based on the receiver and generates an RRM measurement result.

[0226] For example, in this embodiment, the receiver may include MR or LP-WUR. The terminal 101 may perform RRM measurement on the serving cell through MR, and may also perform RRM measurement on the serving cell through LP-WUR to generate corresponding RRM measurement results.

[0227] Step S5102: Determine the measurement behavior of the terminal 101 based on the receiver in the first cell according to the conditional interval in which the RRM measurement result is located.

[0228] In some implementations, the first cell may be a serving cell, an intra-frequency cell, or an inter-frequency cell.

[0229] In some embodiments, the execution period of the RRM measurement behavior is divided into multiple condition intervals by the first condition, the second condition, the third condition, the fourth condition, the fifth condition and / or the sixth condition. For example, the position of the condition interval where the RRM measurement result is located is determined by whether the RRM measurement result satisfies the first condition, the second condition, the third condition, the fourth condition, the fifth condition and / or the sixth condition.

[0230] For example, based on the first condition, the second condition, and / or the third condition of the above-mentioned RRM measurement, the fourth condition and the fifth condition for processing the RRM measurement of LP-WUR are introduced in this embodiment. According to the RRM measurement value of the serving cell, the RRM measurement results of the serving cell, the same-frequency cell and / or the different-frequency cell can be divided into multiple intervals, and a suitable RRM measurement mechanism can be defined in each interval respectively. For example, based on the multiple intervals where the RRM measurement results are located, different measurement interval periods are allocated to the RRM measurement of the UE, thereby improving the point-saving effect of the UE during the RRM measurement process.

[0231] In some embodiments, the first condition, the second condition, and / or the third condition may be based on the RRM measurement value of the serving cell by the MR and the corresponding threshold. Alternatively, the first condition, the second condition, and / or the third condition may be based on the RRM measurement value of the serving cell by the LP-WUR and the corresponding threshold. Alternatively, the first condition, the second condition, and / or the third condition may be based on a pair of RRM measurement values ​​of the serving cell by the MR and the LP-WUR and a corresponding pair of thresholds. Wherein, the method of adopting a pair of thresholds is: when the UE has available RRM measurement results based on the MR and RRM measurement results based on the LP-WUR, only when both the RRM measurement results of the MR and the RRM measurement results of the LP-WUR meet the threshold requirements, the UE considers that the corresponding condition is met. Alternatively, only when the RRM measurement results of the MR meet the threshold requirements, the UE considers that the corresponding condition is met. Alternatively, as long as one of the RRM measurement results of the MR and the RRM measurement results of the LP-WUR meets the threshold requirements, the UE considers that the corresponding condition is met. For the method using a pair of thresholds, when the UE has only one RRM measurement result of an MR or an RRM measurement result of an LP-WUR available, the UE determines whether the corresponding condition is met based on the available RRM measurement.

[0232] In some implementations, the fourth condition may be based on the MR's RRM measurement value of the serving cell and a corresponding threshold, or the fourth condition may be based on the LP-WUR's RRM measurement value of the serving cell and a corresponding threshold. Alternatively, the fourth condition may be based on the MR's RRM measurement result and the LP-WUR's RRM measurement result of the serving cell and a pair of corresponding thresholds. When the RRM measurement value of the serving cell is greater than the corresponding threshold, the UE is considered to meet the fourth condition.

[0233] In some embodiments, the fifth condition can be used to determine whether the RRM measurement of LP-WUR is available, that is, when the UE meets the fifth condition, it is determined that the RRM measurement based on LP-WUR in the UE is available. For example, when the RRM measurement accuracy of LP-WUR meets the fifth condition, it is considered that the RRM measurement of LP-WUR can be used as a reference for processing other RRM processes. The fifth condition can also be used to refer to whether the reception performance of the LP-WUS wake-up signal meets the performance requirements. When the reception performance of the LP-WUR wake-up signal of the UE meets the performance requirements, it is determined that the UE meets the fifth condition. For example, the fifth condition is related to the coverage range that LP-WUR can support. The larger the coverage range that LP-WUR in the UE can support, the smaller the threshold corresponding to the fifth condition; the smaller the coverage range that LP-WUR can support, the larger the threshold corresponding to the fifth condition.

[0234] FIG5 b is a schematic diagram of RRM measurement based on LP-WUR according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG5 b , the RRM measurement results are divided into multiple intervals, and the interval period of the RRM measurement in the UE is determined based on the multiple intervals.

[0235] In some implementations, based on the first condition, the second condition, the third condition, the fourth condition, and the fifth condition, RRM measurements of the serving cell, the intra-frequency cell, and the inter-frequency cell may be defined respectively.

[0236] (1) For RRM measurement of the serving cell, the RRM measurement results may be divided into four intervals according to the first condition, the fourth condition, the third condition, or the fifth condition, and the RRM measurement interval period is determined based on the interval in which the RRM measurement results are located.

[0237] Interval 1: When the RRM measurement result of the serving cell meets the first condition, the MR of the UE does not perform RRM measurement, or performs RRM measurement that is more relaxed than in interval 2. For example, the MR may perform RRM measurement at least once every M DRX cycles, where M>1. For example, the UE may perform RRM measurement through LP-WUR to assist the UE in performing RRM measurement of the serving cell.

[0238] Interval 2: When the RRM measurement result of the serving cell does not meet the first condition and the RRM measurement result meets the fourth condition, the UE's MR performs RRM measurements that are more relaxed than in interval 3. For example, the MR may perform RRM measurements at least once every N DRX cycles. For example, the UE may perform RRM measurements through LP-WUR to assist the UE in performing RRM measurements of the serving cell.

[0239] Interval 3: When the RRM measurement result satisfies both the third and fifth conditions, it is determined that the RRM measurement result satisfies the sixth condition. When the RRM measurement result of the serving cell does not satisfy the fourth condition, and the RRM measurement result satisfies the sixth condition, the UE's MR performs RRM measurements that are more relaxed than the preset first period. For example, in interval 3, the RRM measurement period of the MR may be the same as the measurement period of the same-frequency cell. For example, the MR may perform RRM measurements at least once every K1=3 DRX cycles. The UE may perform RRM measurements through LP-WUR to assist the UE in processing RRM.

[0240] Interval 4: When the RRM measurement result of the serving cell does not meet the sixth condition, the MR of the UE performs RRM measurement at least in every DRX cycle.

[0241] In one embodiment, for the aforementioned RRM measurement method for the serving cell, the first condition may be replaced by the second condition. For the aforementioned RRM measurement method for the serving cell, the RRM measurement of the serving cell may necessarily satisfy the sixth condition when the fourth condition is satisfied. If the parameters configured by the network device cause the UE's RRM measurement result to satisfy the fourth condition but not the sixth condition, the UE may deem the configuration parameters configured by the network device to be incorrect, or the UE may replace the fourth condition with the sixth condition. For the aforementioned RRM measurement method for the serving cell, the RRM measurement of the serving cell may necessarily satisfy the fourth condition when the first or second condition is satisfied. If the parameters configured by the base station cause the UE's RRM measurement result to satisfy the first or second condition but not the fourth condition, the UE may deem the configuration to be incorrect, or the UE may replace the fourth condition with the first or second condition. The UE may detect the synchronization signal of the LP-WUS for this UE in the RRM measurement results of intervals 1, 2, and 3. The UE may not detect the synchronization signal of the LP-WUS for this UE in the RRM measurement results of interval 4.

[0242] (2) For intra-frequency cell RRM measurements, when the RRM measurement value of the serving cell does not satisfy the first condition but satisfies the fourth condition, the UE's MR performs intra-frequency cell RRM measurements that are more relaxed than the K1 first set period. For example, the MR's RRM measurement period may be the same as the measurement period of interval 2 of the serving cell. For example, the MR may perform intra-frequency cell RRM measurements at least once every N>K1 DRX cycles.

[0243] For example, as shown in Figure 5b, Figure 5b is a schematic diagram of RRM measurement when the third condition is more stringent than the fifth condition. That is, the sixth condition is the same as the third condition. In this embodiment, the LP-WUR coverage area is large, and the threshold value corresponding to the fifth condition is lower than the threshold value of the third condition. For RRM measurements of intra-frequency cells, the RRM measurement behavior is divided into four intervals based on the first, fourth, and third conditions.

[0244] Interval 1: When the RRM measurement value of the serving cell meets the first condition, the MR of the UE may not perform RRM measurement of the same-frequency cell.

[0245] Interval 2: When the RRM measurement value of the serving cell does not meet the first condition but meets the fourth condition, the UE's MR performs RRM measurements on the intra-frequency cell more relaxed than in interval 3. For example, the MR may perform RRM measurements on the intra-frequency cell at least once every N>K1 DRX cycles.

[0246] Interval 3: When the RRM measurement value of the serving cell does not meet the fourth condition but meets the third condition, the MR of the UE performs RRM measurement on the intra-frequency cell at least once every K1 first set periods. For example, the MR may perform RRM measurement on the intra-frequency cell at least once every K1 first set periods.

[0247] Interval 4: When the RRM measurement value of the serving cell does not satisfy the third condition, the UE may perform RRM measurement on the intra-frequency cell at least every first set period.

[0248] (3) For RRM measurements of inter-frequency cells, when the RRM measurement result of the serving cell does not satisfy the second condition but satisfies the fourth condition, the MR of the UE performs RRM measurements of the inter-frequency cell that are more relaxed than K1 second preset periods. For example, the RRM measurement period of the MR for the inter-frequency cell may be consistent with the measurement period of interval 2 of the serving cell. For example, the MR may perform RRM measurements of the inter-frequency cell at least once every N>K1 second preset periods.

[0249] For example, as shown in FIG5 b , for RRM measurement of inter-frequency cells, the RRM measurement behavior is divided into four intervals according to the second condition, the fourth condition, and the third condition.

[0250] Interval 1: When the RRM measurement value of the serving cell meets the second condition, the MR of the UE may not perform RRM measurement of the inter-frequency cell.

[0251] Interval 2: When the RRM measurement value of the serving cell does not meet the second condition but meets the fourth condition, the UE's MR performs RRM measurements on inter-frequency cells that are more relaxed than in interval 3. For example, the MR may perform RRM measurements on inter-frequency cells at least once every N*X DRX cycles, where N>K1.

[0252] Interval 3: When the RRM measurement value of the serving cell does not meet the fourth condition but meets the third condition, the UE's MR performs RRM measurements on the single-frequency cell at least every K1 second set period. For example, the MR may perform RRM measurements on the inter-frequency cell at least once every K1*X DRX cycles.

[0253] Interval 4: When the RRM measurement value of the serving cell does not satisfy the third condition, the MR of the UE may perform RRM measurement on the intra-frequency cell at least every second set period.

[0254] Figure 5c is a schematic diagram of RRM measurement based on LP-WUR according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 5c, in this embodiment, the LP-WUR coverage range of the UE is small, and the corresponding fifth condition is stricter than the third condition, that is, the sixth condition is determined based on the fifth condition.

[0255] For example, as shown in Figure 5c, Figure 5c is a schematic diagram of RRM measurement when the fifth condition is stricter than the third condition, and the corresponding threshold value of the fifth condition is greater than the threshold value of the third condition. For RRM measurement of intra-frequency cells, RRM detection is divided into four intervals based on the above-mentioned first condition, the above-mentioned fourth condition, and the above-mentioned third condition. Among them, the interval period allocation of RRM measurement of intra-frequency cells in each interval is the same as that in the embodiment of Figure 5b above, and reference may be made to the embodiment of Figure 5b above, and no further description is given here. For RRM measurement of inter-frequency cells, RRM measurement behavior is divided into four intervals based on the above-mentioned second condition, the above-mentioned fourth condition, and the above-mentioned third condition. The interval period allocation of RRM measurement of inter-frequency cells in each interval is the same as that in the embodiment of Figure 5b above, and reference may be made to the embodiment of Figure 5b above, and no further description is given here.

[0256] Figure 5d is a schematic diagram illustrating three-interval RRM measurements of a serving cell according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 5d , in this embodiment, the RRM measurement behavior of the serving cell can be divided into three intervals. For example, A and B in the figure represent the case where the sixth condition corresponds to the third condition and the case where the sixth condition corresponds to the fifth condition, respectively.

[0257] Section 1: When the RRM measurement value of the serving cell satisfies the fourth condition, the MR of the UE performs RRM measurement that is more relaxed than Section 2. The UE performs RRM measurement through LP-WUR to assist the UE in processing RRM.

[0258] Interval 2: When the RRM measurement value of the serving cell does not meet the fourth condition but meets the sixth condition, the UE's MR performs RRM measurements at least once every K1 DRX cycles. The UE performs RRM measurements through LP-WUR to assist the UE in RRM processing. In interval 2, the MR's RRM measurement period can be the same as the measurement period of the same-frequency cell. For example, the MR can perform RRM measurements every K1 = 3 DRX cycles.

[0259] Interval 3: When the RRM measurement value of the serving cell does not meet the sixth condition, the UE's MR performs RRM measurement in each DRX cycle.

[0260] For example, in this embodiment, the UE may detect the LP-WUS for this UE in interval 1 and interval 2. The UE may not detect the LP-WUS for this UE in interval 3.

[0261] FIG5e is a schematic diagram of three-interval RRM measurement of a serving cell according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG5e , in this embodiment, the RRM measurement behavior of the serving cell can be divided into three intervals, and the third and fifth conditions are replaced by the sixth condition. The following intervals are obtained:

[0262] Interval 1: When the RRM measurement value of the serving cell meets the first condition, the UE's MR does not perform RRM measurements, or performs RRM measurements that are more relaxed than those in Interval 2. For example, the MR may perform RRM measurements once every M>N DRX cycles. The LP-WUR performs RRM measurements to assist the UE in handling RRM.

[0263] Interval 2: When the RRM measurement value of the serving cell does not meet the first condition but meets the fourth condition, the UE's mobile receiver (MR) performs RRM measurements on the serving cell at least once every N DRX cycles. In interval 2, the MR's RRM measurement period N can be the same as the measurement period of the intra-frequency cell. For example, the MR can perform RRM measurements every N > K1 DRX cycles. The LP-WUR performs RRM measurements to assist the UE in RRM processing.

[0264] Interval 3: When the RRM measurement value of the serving cell does not meet the fourth condition, the MR of the UE performs RRM measurement at least in each DRX cycle.

[0265] For example, in one embodiment, the UE may detect the LP-WUS for the UE in intervals 1 and 2. The UE may not detect the LP-WUS for the UE in interval 3. Alternatively, the UE may detect the LP-WUS for the UE in the above manner when the RRM measurement value of the serving cell meets the sixth condition.

[0266] Figure 5f is a schematic diagram of two-interval RRM measurement of a serving cell according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 5f, in this embodiment, the RRM measurement behavior of the serving cell can be divided into two intervals. For example, the sixth condition can be directly used to replace the third condition and the fifth condition.

[0267] Interval 1: When the RRM measurement value of the serving cell meets the fourth condition, the UE's MR performs relaxed RRM measurements. For example, the MR may perform RRM measurements once every N>K1 DRX cycles. The UE performs RRM measurements through LP-WUR to assist the UE in handling RRM.

[0268] Interval 2: When the RRM measurement value of the serving cell does not meet the fourth condition, the MR of the UE performs RRM measurement at least once per DRX cycle.

[0269] For example, the UE may detect the LP-WUS for this UE in interval 1. The UE may not detect the LP-WUS for this UE in interval 2. Alternatively, the UE may detect the LP-WUS for this UE in the above manner when the RRM measurement value of the serving cell meets the sixth condition.

[0270] In the above technical solution, when the LP-WUS mechanism is introduced, based on the RRM measurement mechanism already supported in the relevant technology, the LP-WUR-wake-up receiver is used to assist in performing RRM measurement, further relaxing the UE's RRM measurement requirements, thereby maximizing the UE's power saving effect and improving the UE's battery life.
