Technical Field

However, considering that the same cell is a different cell from the perspective of different terminals, how the network accurately triggers different terminals to perform conditional switching operations, CPC operations or secondary cell deactivation operations through public signaling is a problem to be solved.

[0065] FIG1 shows a block diagram of a wireless communication system applicable to embodiments of the present application. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network-side device 12 . The terminal 11 may be a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer, a laptop computer or a notebook computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a handheld computer, a netbook, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a mobile internet device (MID), an augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) device, a robot, a wearable device (Wearable Device), a vehicle user equipment (VUE), a pedestrian user equipment (PUE), a smart home (home appliances with wireless communication capabilities, such as refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, or furniture), a game console, a personal computer (PC), an ATM, or a self-service machine, etc. The wearable devices include: smart watches, smart bracelets, smart headphones, smart glasses, smart jewelry (smart bracelets, smart bracelets, smart rings, smart necklaces, smart anklets, smart anklets, etc.), smart wristbands, smart clothing, etc. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific type of the terminal 11.

It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, only the base station in the NR system is used as an example for introduction, and the specific type of the base station is not limited.

[0066] For ease of understanding, some of the contents involved in the embodiments of this application are described below:

[0067] 1. Network energy saving

[0068] Network energy efficiency is listed as one of the 13 performance requirements of IMT-2020. Most of the power consumption of the NR network comes from the base station, and 90% of the power consumption of the NR base station comes from the active antenna unit (AAU). Due to higher frequency bands, wider bandwidths, more transmitters and receivers (TRX), etc., the power consumption of a single NR base station is currently 3 to 4 times higher than that of LTE. In addition, in terms of operating expenses (OPEX), the electricity cost of the base station accounts for nearly 20% of the entire network operating cost. For some operators, electricity costs are more than half of the total profit. Therefore, NR's network energy saving has become more critical to achieving the great success of 5G. Depending on the actual load situation, the base station can implement different degrees of energy-saving measures, such as shutting down the base station, shutting down the carrier / cell, shutting down the channel, shutting down the synchronization signal block (SSB) / beam, shutting down the antenna / panel, cell discontinuous transmission (DTX) and / or discontinuous reception (DRX), channel state information (CSI) adaptation, etc.

[0069] 1.1 Cell DTX / DRX

[0070] User Equipment (UE) can be configured with a periodic Cell DTX / DRX pattern, which includes the active and non-active time of the cell, so that the base station can save network power consumption during the non-active period of the cell. The Cell DTX pattern and Cell DRX pattern can be configured independently. Each serving cell can be configured with cell DTX and / or DRX. When a cell is configured with cell DTX, the UE does not monitor the PDCCH and SPS during the non-active period on this cell. When a cell is configured with cell DRX, the UE does not send a configured grant (CG) and a scheduling request (SR) during the non-active period of this cell.

[0071] 1.2 CHO enhancement

[0072] The relevant technology involves whether to enhance the existing conditional handover CHO process to take into account the impact of the energy-saving mode of the source cell / target cell. The network can configure CHO (i.e. one or more candidate target cells and corresponding access configuration information) for the connected terminal in advance. When the source cell is about to enter the network energy-saving state (for example, the source cell is shut down, or the source cell turns on cell DTX / DRX, etc.), L1 group common signaling is sent to trigger multiple UEs to perform conditional handover. When the connected terminal under the source cell switches to the candidate target cell, the source cell can save energy, or reduce the impact of network energy saving on some UEs. Among them, the source cell is the main cell before the terminal switches, and the target cell is the main cell after the terminal switches.

[0073] 2. Conditional handover (CHO)

[0074] Conditional handover refers to the handover executed by the terminal when the handover execution conditions are met. The main steps are as follows:

[0075] Step 0: UE reports measurement report;

[0076] Step 1: The source base station decides to use CHO. The source base station sends a handover request message to one or more candidate base stations, requesting the configuration of multiple candidate cells;

[0077] Step 2: The source base station receives the handover request response message, which includes configuration information of one or more candidate cells;

[0078] Step 3: The source base station sends an RRC reconfiguration message to the UE, including the CHO configuration. The CHO configuration includes the configuration information of the candidate target cell and the corresponding execution conditions.

[0079] Step 4: After receiving the CHO configuration, the terminal starts evaluating the execution conditions of each candidate target cell and sends an RRC reconfiguration complete message to the source base station;

[0080] Step 5: If all the measurement identifiers (MeasId) of a candidate target cell satisfy the corresponding event (for example, event A3 or A5), the UE considers this candidate target cell to be a triggered cell. The UE determines a selected cell by itself in the triggered cell and performs conditional switching on the cell. Specifically, the terminal applies the radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message of the cell, initiates random access on the cell, and sends an RRC reconfiguration completion message to the cell. When the terminal starts to establish synchronization with the cell, the terminal stops monitoring the source cell. After performing the handover, the terminal stops condition evaluation and releases the CHO configuration;

[0081] Step 6: The target base station notifies the source base station that the terminal handover is successful;

[0082] Step 7: The source base station notifies other candidate base stations of the handover cancellation.

[0083] About CHO configuration:

[0084] The CHO configuration includes configuration information for multiple candidate target cells. Specifically, the network configures execution conditions and an RRC reconfiguration message for each candidate target cell, which is identified by a CHO identifier (ID). The execution condition consists of one or two measIds, which point to the measId in the radio resource management (RRM) measurement configuration measConfig. That is, the UE can obtain the trigger condition Cond trigger event corresponding to this measId based on the measId and measConfig. The Cond trigger event includes the following events:

[0085] Event A3: indicates that the quality of the same-frequency / inter-frequency neighboring cell is higher than the quality of the serving cell by an offset.

[0086] Event A4: indicates that the quality of the inter-frequency neighboring cell is higher than a certain threshold.

[0087] Event A5: indicates that the quality of the serving cell is lower than a certain threshold and the quality of the neighboring cell is higher than a certain threshold.

[0088] Event T1: indicates that the time measured by the terminal is within a certain time interval;

[0089] Event D1: indicates that the distance between the terminal's position and the reference point is within a given interval;

[0090] The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes in detail the operation execution method, apparatus, terminal, and network-side equipment provided by the embodiments of the present application through some embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0091] Referring to FIG. 2 , FIG. 2 is a flow chart of an operation execution method provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 2 , the operation execution method includes the following steps:

[0092] Step 101: The terminal receives target control signaling sent by a network-side device;

[0093] Step 102: When the target control signaling satisfies a target condition, the terminal determines to perform a first operation;

[0094] The first operation includes at least one of the following:

[0095] Conditional switch CHO operation;

[0096] Conditional PSCell Change (CPC) operation;

[0097] Secondary Cell (SCell) deactivation operation.

[0098] The target control signaling may be downlink control information (DCI) 2_9, or the target control signaling may be signaling included in DCI 2_9.

[0099] In one implementation, the terminal receives target control signaling, and determines whether to initiate a first operation according to the target control signaling, where the first operation includes at least one of the following: a CHO operation; a CPC operation; or an SCell deactivation operation.

[0100] In one implementation, the terminal determines to perform the CHO operation in the first operation when the target control signaling satisfies one of the following target conditions:

[0101] A value of the specific bit of the target control signaling is a specific value, wherein the specific bit of the target control signaling is associated with the terminal, or associated with the PCell of the terminal, and the association relationship between the specific bit and the PCell can be pre-configured;

[0102] The target control signaling carries a group ID, and the group ID is associated with the terminal, or associated with the PCell of the terminal. The association relationship may be pre-configured;

[0103] The target control signaling is received by the PCell of the terminal or a serving cell in a cell group (such as a Master Cell Group (MCG)) where the PCell is located. The target control signaling is used to indicate whether a special serving cell SpCell enters a network energy-saving state.

[0104] In one implementation, the terminal determines to perform the CPC operation in the first operation when the target control signaling satisfies one of the following target conditions:

[0105] The value of the specific bit of the target control signaling is a specific value, wherein the specific bit of the target control signaling is associated with the terminal, or associated with the PSCell of the terminal, and the association relationship between the specific bit and the PSCell can be pre-configured;

[0106] The target control signaling carries a group ID, and the group ID is associated with the terminal, or associated with the PSCell of the terminal, and the association relationship may be pre-configured;

[0107] The target control signaling is received through the PSCell of the terminal or a serving cell in a cell group (such as a secondary cell group (SCG)) where the PSCell is located.

[0108] In one embodiment, the terminal determines to perform a Scell ​​deactivation operation in the first operation on the first Scell ​​when the target control signaling satisfies one of the following target conditions:

[0109] The target control signaling instructs the first Scell ​​of the terminal to enter a network energy-saving state;

[0110] The Pcell or PScell ​​of the cell group (MCG or SCG) to which the first SCell of the terminal belongs does not enter the network energy-saving state.

[0111] It should be noted that in order to reduce network energy consumption, the network may take some energy-saving measures, such as shutting down some cells when the demand for communication services is low, or allowing some cells to enter a specific energy-saving mode (cell DTX / DRX). In fact, the same cell may be the primary cell for some terminals, but the secondary cell for other terminals. For a terminal, the performance loss caused by the network energy-saving operation of its primary cell is relatively large. At this time, the terminal needs to perform conditional switching to switch to other cells that are operating normally. The impact of the network energy-saving operation of the primary and secondary cells is similar. When the PSCell enters the network energy-saving state, the terminal needs to perform CPC operation. The impact of the network energy-saving operation of its secondary cell is smaller. At this time, the terminal does not need to perform conditional switching, but can perform deactivation operation of the secondary cell.

[0112] In an embodiment of the present application, a terminal receives target control signaling sent by a network-side device; if the target control signaling meets a target condition, the terminal determines to perform a first operation; wherein the first operation includes at least one of the following: a conditional handover (CHO) operation; a conditional primary / secondary cell (PSCell) change (CPC) operation; or a secondary cell (SCell) deactivation operation. In this way, the terminal triggers the first operation by determining whether the target control signaling meets the target condition, allowing the network to accurately trigger different terminals to perform conditional handover operations, CPC operations, or secondary cell deactivation operations through the target control signaling.

[0113] Optionally, the CHO operation includes at least one of the following:

[0114] CHO execution; CHO evaluation; enabling first CHO execution condition; CHO measurement;

[0115] or,

[0116] The CPC operation includes at least one of the following:

[0117] CPC execution; CPC evaluation; enabling first CPC execution condition; CPC measurement;

[0118] The first CHO execution condition is a CHO execution condition used by the terminal when a primary cell (PCell) enters a network energy-saving state;

[0119] The first CPC execution condition is a CPC execution condition used by the terminal when the PSCell enters a network energy-saving state.

[0120] The first CHO execution condition may be an NES specific CHO condition. Enabling the first CHO execution condition may be understood as applying the first CHO execution condition or making the first CHO execution condition effective.

[0121] The first CPC execution condition may be an NES specific CPC condition. Enabling the first CPC execution condition may be understood as applying the first CPC execution condition or making the first CPC execution condition effective.

[0122] Optionally, the target control signaling is L1 group common signaling, and the target control signaling is scrambled by a first radio network temporary identifier (Radio Network Temporary Identifier, RNTI).

[0123] It is understandable that the target control signaling is scrambled by the first RNTI, which may refer to the target control signaling being scrambled by a specific RNTI. The specific RNTI may be an RNTI related to network energy saving, such as an NES RNTI.

[0124] In this embodiment, the target control signaling is L1 group common signaling, and the target control signaling is encrypted by the first RNTI, so that when the terminal receives the L1 group common signaling, it can determine whether the target condition is met by determining the L1 group common signaling to trigger the execution of the CHO operation, CPC operation, or SCell deactivation operation. This can prevent the L1 group common signaling used to trigger the CHO operation, CPC operation, or SCell deactivation operation of other terminals from mistakenly triggering the CHO operation, CPC operation, or SCell deactivation operation of this terminal, thereby avoiding transmission anomalies or waste of resources.

[0125] Optionally, the target control signaling is used to indicate whether at least one serving cell of the terminal enters a network energy-saving state, or the target control signaling is used to indicate whether the terminal performs the first operation.

[0126] Among them, when the target control signaling instructs the terminal to perform a CHO operation, the terminal determines to perform a CHO operation; when the target control signaling instructs the terminal to perform a CPC operation, the terminal determines to perform a CPC operation; when the target control signaling instructs the terminal to perform an SCell deactivation operation, the terminal determines to perform an SCell deactivation operation.

[0127] The network energy-saving state may refer to Cell DTX / DRX entering an activated state or a cell being shut down.

[0128] In one embodiment, the target control signaling may include a target bit block, the target bit block including one or more bits, the target bit block being associated with the terminal and being used to instruct the terminal whether to perform the first operation. For example, when the value of the bit associated with the terminal in the target bit block is 1, the terminal is instructed to perform the first operation; and when the value of the bit associated with the terminal in the target bit block is 0, the terminal is instructed not to perform the first operation.

[0129] In one embodiment, the target control signaling may include a target bit block, where the target bit block is used to indicate whether at least one serving cell of the terminal has entered a network energy-saving state. The target bit block may include at least one first bit block, each first bit block being associated with at least one serving cell of the terminal, and different first bit blocks being used to indicate whether different serving cells have entered a network energy-saving state. Alternatively, the target bit block may include a second bit block, where the second bit block includes one bit, or multiple consecutive bits, each bit in the second bit block being associated with a serving cell of the terminal, or different values ​​of the second bit block indicating whether different serving cells of the terminal have entered a network energy-saving state. For example, the second bit block is two consecutive bits starting from the Xth bit in the target control signaling. When the second bit block has a value of "00", it indicates that the PCell of the terminal has entered a network energy-saving state; when the second bit block has a value of "01", it indicates that the PSCell of the terminal has entered a network energy-saving state; when the second bit block has a value of "10", it indicates that SCell 1 of the terminal has entered a network energy-saving state; and when the second bit block has a value of "11", it indicates that SCell 2 of the terminal has entered a network energy-saving state.

[0130] In this embodiment, the target control signaling is used to indicate whether at least one serving cell of the terminal enters a network energy-saving state, so that the terminal can determine whether the serving cell of the terminal enters a network energy-saving state through the target control signaling, and then the terminal can determine to perform a first operation based on the serving cell entering the network energy-saving state.

[0131] Optionally, the indicating whether at least one serving cell of the terminal enters a network energy-saving state includes at least one of the following:

[0132] Indicate whether the PCell of the terminal enters a network energy-saving state;

[0133] Indicate whether the PSCell of the terminal enters a network energy-saving state;

[0134] Indicate whether at least one SCell of the terminal enters a network energy-saving state.

[0135] The indicating whether at least one secondary cell (SCell) of the terminal enters a network energy-saving state may include at least one of the following:

[0136] Indicate whether one or more MCG SCells of the terminal enter a network energy-saving state;

[0137] Indicates whether one or more SCG SCells of the terminal enter the network energy-saving state.

[0138] In one implementation, the target control signaling may indicate whether the MCG of the terminal enters a network energy-saving state through 1-bit information.

[0139] In one implementation, the target control signaling may indicate whether the SCG of the terminal enters a network energy-saving state through 1-bit information.

[0140] Optionally, when the target control signaling satisfies a target condition, the terminal determines to perform a first operation, including at least one of the following:

[0141] When the terminal determines, according to the target control signaling, that the PCell of the terminal enters a network energy-saving state, the terminal determines to perform a CHO operation;

[0142] When the terminal determines, according to the target control signaling, that the PSCell of the terminal enters a network energy-saving state, the terminal determines to perform a CPC operation;

[0143] In a case where the terminal determines, according to the target control signaling, that the SCell of the terminal enters a network energy-saving state, the terminal determines to perform an SCell deactivation operation.

[0144] In this embodiment, when the terminal determines that the PCell of the terminal enters the network energy-saving state according to the target control signaling, the terminal determines to perform the CHO operation, so that the network side and the terminal side have the same understanding of whether to trigger the CHO operation after receiving the target control signaling, thereby avoiding erroneous triggering of the terminal's CHO operation.

[0145] In this embodiment, when the terminal determines that the PSCell of the terminal enters the network energy-saving state according to the target control signaling, the terminal determines to perform the CPC operation, so that the network side and the terminal side have the same understanding of whether the CPC operation is triggered after the terminal receives the target control signaling, thereby avoiding erroneous triggering of the CPC operation of the terminal.

[0146] In this embodiment, when the terminal determines that the SCell of the terminal enters the network energy-saving state according to the target control signaling, the terminal determines to perform the SCell deactivation operation, so that the network side and the terminal side have the same understanding of whether to trigger the SCell deactivation operation after receiving the target control signaling, which can avoid erroneous triggering of the terminal's SCell deactivation operation.

[0147] Optionally, the terminal receiving target control signaling sent by the network side device includes:

[0148] The terminal receives the target control signaling sent by the network side device through the first serving cell;

[0151] The terminal determines, as a serving cell entering a network energy-saving state, a special serving cell (SpCell) corresponding to the cell group where the first serving cell is located;

[0152] The terminal determines the serving cell associated with the first serving cell as the serving cell entering a network energy-saving state.

[0153] It should be noted that the target control signaling can be used to indicate whether the cell related to the cell that receives the target control signaling enters the network energy-saving state. The cell related to the cell that receives the target control signaling can include at least one of the following: the cell that receives the target control signaling; the sPCell corresponding to the cell group (cell group) in which the cell that receives the target control signaling is located.

[0154] Optionally, the target control signaling includes at least one first bit block, the first bit block is determined by a first starting position and a bit block length, each first bit block is associated with at least one service cell of the terminal, and the first bit block is used to indicate whether the associated service cell enters a network energy-saving state.

[0155] The association relationship between the first bit block and the serving cell of the terminal may be configured by a network device or predefined by a protocol. The first starting position may be predefined by a protocol or configured by a network device, and the bit length of the first bit block may be predefined by a protocol or configured by a network device.

[0156] In one implementation, the terminal may detect the value of the first bit block to determine whether the associated serving cell enters the network energy-saving state.

[0157] For example, the network-side device configures the first bit block as the Xth bit in the target control signaling, and the Xth bit corresponds to the PCell of the terminal; or, the network-side device configures the first bit block as the Yth bit in the target control signaling, and the Yth bit corresponds to the SCell 1 of the terminal; or, the network-side device configures the first bit block as the Zth bit in the target control signaling, and the Zth bit corresponds to the SCell 2 of the terminal; or, the network-side device configures the first bit block as the Kth bit in the target control signaling, and the Kth bit corresponds to the PSCell of the terminal. In this example, the length of the first bit block is 1 bit.

[0158] For example, the network side device configures the starting position of the first bit block to be the Xth bit in the target control signaling, and the Xth bit corresponds to the PCell of the terminal. The length of the first bit block can be given as 2 through network configuration or protocol agreement, and the Xth bit and the X+1th bit respectively indicate whether the PCell enters the cell shutdown and whether the Cell DTX / DRX is activated.

[0159] For example, when the first bit block takes a first value (for example, 1), it indicates that the corresponding service cell enters the network energy-saving state; when the first bit block takes a second value (for example, 0), it indicates that the corresponding service cell does not enter the network energy-saving state or leaves the network energy-saving state.

[0160] It should be noted that the at least one first bit block can be a discontinuous bit block in the target control signaling. For example, the target control signaling includes a first bit block 1 and a first bit block 2, and the first bit block 1 and the first bit block 2 are discontinuous bit blocks.

[0161] In one embodiment, before the terminal receives the target control signaling sent by the network side device, the method further includes:

[0162] The terminal receives third configuration information sent by the network-side device, where the third configuration information is used to indicate an association relationship between the first bit block and a serving cell of the terminal.

[0163] In this embodiment, the first bit block in the target control signaling indicates whether at least one serving cell of the terminal enters the network energy-saving state, so that after receiving the target control signaling, the terminal can determine the first bit block in the target control signaling based on the first starting position and the bit block length, and determine whether the serving cell of the terminal enters the network energy-saving state according to the value of the first bit block, and then the terminal can determine to perform the first operation based on the serving cell entering the network energy-saving state.

[0164] Optionally, the first starting position is configured by the network side, or the bit block length is configured by the network side or agreed upon by a protocol.

[0165] It should be noted that the terminal can determine the position of the first bit block in the target control signaling based on the first starting position and the bit block length, and determine whether the service cell of the terminal enters the network energy-saving state according to the value of the first bit block, and then the terminal can determine to perform the first operation based on the service cell entering the network energy-saving state.

[0166] Optionally, the serving cell corresponding to the first bit block is determined by a serving cell identifier configured by the network side device, or by a type of the serving cell;

[0167] The identifier of the serving cell includes at least one of the following:

[0168] The SCell identifier of the terminal; the PCell identifier of the terminal; the PSCell identifier of the terminal;

[0169] The type of the serving cell includes at least one of the following:

[0170] PCell; PSCell; special service cell.

[0171] It should be noted that the network side can configure the association between the identifier of the serving cell and the first bit block.

[0172] In addition, the serving cell identifier may further include: an SCell index (index).

[0173] The serving cell identifier may further include: a serving cell group identifier configured for the terminal.

[0174] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0175] The terminal obtains target configuration information, where the target configuration information is used to indicate an association relationship between the first bit block and at least one serving cell of the terminal.

[0176] Among them, the association relationship between the first bit block and the service cell of each terminal can be configured separately for each terminal. For example, the target configuration information configures the first bit block as the Xth bit in the target control signaling, and the Xth bit corresponds to the PCell of the terminal; or, the association relationship between the first bit block and the service cell can be configured separately for each service cell. For example, the target configuration information configures the first bit block as the Xth bit in the target control signaling, and the Xth bit corresponds to service cell 1. The target configuration information will be sent to the terminal under service cell 1. When service cell 1 is the PCell of the terminal, the terminal can determine whether the PCell of the terminal enters the network energy-saving state through the Xth bit.

[0177] In one implementation, the terminal acquiring the target configuration information may include the terminal receiving the target configuration information sent by a network-side device.

[0178] In one implementation, the target configuration information may be predefined by a protocol.

[0179] In this embodiment, the terminal obtains target configuration information, and the target configuration information is used to indicate the association relationship between the first bit block and at least one service cell of the terminal, so that the terminal can find the first bit block from the target control signaling and determine whether the associated service cell enters the network energy-saving state through the value of the first bit block.

[0180] Optionally, the target control signaling includes a second bit block, and the second bit block includes one bit, or multiple consecutive bits;

[0181] Among them, each bit in the second bit block is associated with a service cell of the terminal, the second bit block is used to indicate whether the associated service cell enters the network energy-saving state, and the association relationship between each bit in the second bit block and the service cell is predefined by the protocol or configured on the network side.

[0182] The association relationship between the second bit block and the serving cell of the terminal may be configured by a network-side device or predefined by a protocol.

[0183] Among them, the starting position of the second bit block in the target control signaling can be configured by the network side, and the bit length of the second bit block can be determined by at least one of the following: protocol predefinition; network side configuration; whether dual-connection DC is configured for the terminal; whether the first CHO execution condition is configured for the terminal.

[0184] In one embodiment, the bit block length of the second bit block may be predefined by the protocol or configured by the network side. For example, the bit block length of the second bit block may be predefined by the protocol or configured by the network side to be X bits (eg, X=1 or X=2).

[0185] It should be noted that the second bit block can correspond to the serving cell or serving cell group through a bit map; or the second bit block can indicate the serving cell or serving cell group identifier.

[0186] For example, the protocol predefines or the network-side device configures the second bit block to be two consecutive bits starting from the Xth bit in the target control signaling, where the Xth bit corresponds to the PCell of the terminal, and the X+1th bit corresponds to the PSCell of the terminal. When the Xth bit takes a first value (e.g., 1), it indicates that the PCell has entered the network energy-saving state; when the X+1th bit takes a second value (e.g., 0), it indicates that the PSCell has not entered the network energy-saving state.

[0187] For example, if the network configures the second bit block to be at bit X, then bit X corresponds to the terminal's PCell. If the terminal is not configured with other serving cells, the second bit block only contains bit X. If the terminal is configured with a serving cell other than the PCell, each bit starting from bit X+1 corresponds to a serving cell of the terminal. For example, if the terminal is configured with PCell, PSCell, SCell 1, SCell 2, and SCell 3, then the length of the second bit block is 5, and starting from bit X, the bits corresponding to PCell, PSCell, SCell 1, SCell 2, and SCell 3, respectively, are configured. Optionally, considering that some cells may not support network energy saving or never enter the network energy saving state, the network can configure the bits for certain serving cells to appear or not appear. For example, if the terminal is configured with PCell, PSCell, SCell 1, SCell 2, and SCell 3, PCell, SCell 1, and SCell 3 are configured to require obtaining the network energy saving state through target control signaling. When the UE receives the target control signaling, starting from the Xth bit, it corresponds to the network energy saving state of PCell, SCell 1, and SCell 3 respectively.

[0188] In one embodiment, before the terminal receives the target control signaling sent by the network side device, the method further includes:

[0189] The terminal receives fourth configuration information sent by the network-side device, where the fourth configuration information is used to indicate an association relationship between the second bit block and a serving cell of the terminal.

[0190] In this embodiment, the second bit block in the target control signaling indicates whether the associated service cell enters the network energy-saving state, so that after receiving the target control signaling, the terminal can determine whether the service cell of the terminal enters the network energy-saving state according to the value of the second bit block, and then the terminal can determine to perform the first operation based on the service cell entering the network energy-saving state.

[0191] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0192] The terminal determines the association between each bit in the second bit block and the service cell of the terminal based on whether it is configured with dual-connection DC, whether it is configured with CHO configuration related to network energy saving, the type of service cell, the identification size of the service cell, and whether the service cell is configured with at least one of the network energy saving characteristics.

[0193] Among them, the terminal can determine the bit block length of the second bit block based on whether it is configured with dual connection DC, or whether it is configured with CHO configuration related to network energy saving, and determine the association relationship between each bit in the second bit block and the service cell of the terminal based on the bit block length of the second bit block.

[0194] In one embodiment, the bit block length of the second bit block may be related to whether dual connectivity (DC) is configured. The terminal may determine the association between each bit in the second bit block and the terminal's serving cell based on the serving cell type and the bit block length of the second bit block. For example, when DC is configured, the bit block length of the second bit block is 2 bits, corresponding to the Pcell and PScell, respectively. When DC is not configured, the bit block length of the second bit block is 1 bit, corresponding to the Pcell.

[0195] In one embodiment, the bit block length of the second bit block may be related to whether a CHO configuration related to network energy saving is configured. When a CPC configuration related to network energy saving is not configured, the bit block length of the second bit block is 1 bit; when a CPC configuration related to network energy saving is configured, the bit block length of the second bit block is 2 bits.

[0196] For example, when NES specific CPC is not configured, the bit block length of the second bit block is 1 bit; when NES specific CHO or NES specific CPC is configured, the bit block length of the second bit block is 2 bits.

[0197] For example, the second bit block is a 1-bit bit block, and its position in the target control signaling is configured by the network. When the UE receives the target control signaling through the PCell or through the MCG, the second bit block indicates the network energy saving state of the PCell. When the UE receives the target control signaling through the PSCell or SCG, the second bit block indicates the network energy saving state of the PSCell.

[0198] For example, the network configures the second bit block as bit X, where bit X corresponds to the terminal's PCell. The terminal is configured with PCell, PSCell, SCell 1, SCell 2, and SCell 3, where PCell, SCell 1, and SCell 3 are configured with network energy saving features. When the UE receives target control signaling, it determines the network energy saving states corresponding to PCell, SCell 1, and SCell 3, respectively, starting from bit X.

[0199] In one embodiment, the network side device can configure the correspondence between each bit in the second bit block and the identifier of the service cell, and the terminal can determine the association between each bit in the second bit block and the service cell of the terminal based on the correspondence between each bit in the second bit block and the identifier of the service cell configured by the network side device.

[0200] In this embodiment, the terminal determines the association relationship between each bit in the second bit block and the service cell of the terminal based on whether it is configured with dual-connection DC, whether it is configured with CHO configuration related to network energy saving, the type of service cell, the identification size of the service cell, and whether the service cell is configured with network energy saving characteristics. At least one of the following determines that the terminal can determine whether the service cell of the terminal has entered the network energy saving state based on the association relationship between each bit in the second bit block and the service cell of the terminal, and further the terminal can determine to perform the first operation based on the service cell entering the network energy saving state.

[0201] Optionally, after the terminal receives the target control signaling sent by the network-side device, the method further includes at least one of the following:

[0202] In a case where the target control signaling carries the first group identifier associated with the terminal, the terminal determines that the PCell of the terminal enters a network energy-saving state;

[0203] In a case where the target control signaling carries the second group identifier associated with the terminal, the terminal determines that the PSCell of the terminal enters a network energy-saving state;

[0204] The first group identifier or the second group identifier is configured by the network side.

[0205] In one embodiment, the target control signaling instructing the PCell of the terminal to enter a network energy-saving state includes at least one of the following:

[0206] The first bit block or the second bit block in the target control signaling indicates that the PCell of the terminal enters a network energy-saving state;

[0207] The target control signaling carries a first group identifier associated with the terminal;

[0208] The target control signaling is received through the PCell of the terminal or a cell in the cell group where the PCell is located.

[0209] In one embodiment, the target control signaling instructs the PSCell of the terminal to enter a network energy-saving state, including at least one of the following:

[0210] The first bit block or the second bit block in the target control signaling indicates that the PSCell of the terminal enters a network energy-saving state;

[0211] The target control signaling carries a second group identifier associated with the terminal;

[0212] The target control signaling is received through the PSCell of the terminal or a cell in the cell group where the PSCell is located.

[0213] In one embodiment, the target control signaling instructing the SCell of the terminal to enter a network energy-saving state includes at least one of the following:

[0214] The first bit block or the second bit block in the target control signaling indicates that the SCell of the terminal enters a network energy-saving state;

[0215] The first bit block or the second bit block in the target control signaling indicates that the PCell or PSCell of the cell group (MCG or SCG) to which the SCell of the terminal belongs has not entered the network energy-saving state.

[0216] In this embodiment, when the target control signaling carries the first group identifier associated with the terminal, the terminal determines that the PCell of the terminal enters the network energy-saving state, thereby triggering the terminal to perform a CHO operation when the target control signaling carries the first group identifier associated with the terminal, so that the network side and the terminal side have a consistent understanding of whether the CHO operation is triggered after the terminal receives the target control signaling; when the target control signaling carries the second group identifier associated with the terminal, the terminal determines that the PSCell of the terminal enters the network energy-saving state, thereby triggering the terminal to perform a CPC operation when the target control signaling carries the second group identifier associated with the terminal, so that the network side and the terminal side have a consistent understanding of whether the CPC operation is triggered after the terminal receives the target control signaling.

[0217] Optionally, when the target control signaling satisfies the target condition and the first operation includes CHO execution, the terminal determining to execute the first operation includes: if it is determined that the CHO execution condition is satisfied, the terminal executing CHO;

[0218] or

[0219] In a case where the target control signaling satisfies the target condition and the first operation includes CPC execution, the terminal determines to execute the first operation, including: if it is determined that the CPC execution condition is satisfied, the terminal executes CPC.

[0220] In one embodiment, when the target control signaling satisfies the target condition and the first operation includes CHO execution or CPC execution, the terminal needs to satisfy other preconfigured CHO execution conditions or CPC execution conditions before initiating CHO execution or CPC execution.

[0221] Optionally, the DC configuration information of the terminal and the CHO configuration information related to network energy saving are not allowed to be configured at the same time.

[0222] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0223] In the case where the terminal receives the first configuration information sent by the network side device, if the terminal receives the second configuration information sent by the network side device, the terminal performs a second operation;

[0224] The second operation includes at least one of the following:

[0225] The terminal determines that the second configuration information is not effective;

[0226] The terminal determines that the reconfiguration fails;

[0227] The first configuration information is DC configuration information, and the second configuration information is CHO configuration information related to network energy saving; or the first configuration information is CHO configuration information related to network energy saving, and the second configuration information is DC configuration information.

[0228] In this implementation, when the terminal receives the first configuration information sent by the network side device, if the terminal receives the second configuration information sent by the network side device, the terminal performs the second operation. In this way, it can be ensured that the DC configuration information of the terminal and the CHO configuration information related to network energy saving are not configured at the same time.

[0229] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal's dual connectivity (DC) configuration information and network energy-saving related CHO configuration information are not allowed to be configured simultaneously, or the terminal's DC configuration information and network energy-saving related CHO configuration information are allowed to be configured simultaneously. The network energy-saving related CHO configuration information may be network energy-saving (NES) CHO configuration information.

[0230] An embodiment of the present application further provides a configuration method, the method including: configuration information of the DC of the terminal and configuration information of the CHO related to network energy saving are not allowed to be configured at the same time.

[0231] The present application also provides an operation execution method, which includes:

[0232] In the case where the terminal receives the first configuration information sent by the network side device, if the terminal receives the second configuration information sent by the network side device, the terminal performs a second operation;

[0233] The second operation includes at least one of the following:

[0234] The terminal determines that the second configuration information is not effective;

[0235] The terminal determines that the reconfiguration fails;

[0236] The first configuration information is DC configuration information, and the second configuration information is CHO configuration information related to network energy saving; or the first configuration information is CHO configuration information related to network energy saving, and the second configuration information is DC configuration information.

[0237] Referring to FIG3 , FIG3 is a flowchart of an operation execution method provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG3 , the operation execution method includes the following steps:

[0238] Step 201: The network side device sends target control signaling to the terminal;

[0239] Step 202: If the target control signaling satisfies a target condition, the target control signaling is used to determine to perform a first operation;

[0240] The first operation includes at least one of the following:

[0241] Conditional switch CHO operation;

[0242] Conditional primary and secondary cell PSCell CPC change operation;

[0243] SCell deactivation operation.

[0244] Optionally, the CHO operation includes at least one of the following:

[0245] CHO execution; CHO evaluation; enabling first CHO execution condition; CHO measurement;

[0246] or,

[0247] The CPC operation includes at least one of the following:

[0248] CPC execution; CPC evaluation; enabling first CPC execution condition; CPC measurement;

[0249] The first CHO execution condition is a CHO execution condition used by the terminal when the primary cell PCell enters a network energy-saving state;

[0250] The first CPC execution condition is a CPC execution condition used by the terminal when the PSCell enters a network energy-saving state.

[0251] Optionally, the target control signaling is L1 group common signaling, and the target control signaling is scrambled by a first radio network temporary identifier RNTI.

[0252] Optionally, the target control signaling is used to indicate whether at least one serving cell of the terminal enters a network energy-saving state, or the target control signaling is used to indicate whether the terminal performs the first operation.

[0253] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0254] When the network side device sends the first configuration information to the terminal, the network side device performs a third operation;

[0255] The third operation includes at least one of the following:

[0256] The network-side device determines not to configure the second configuration information for the terminal;

[0257] If the network side device determines to configure the second configuration information for the terminal, the network side device performs a deconfiguration operation on the terminal, where the deconfiguration operation is used to deconfigure the first configuration information;

[0258] The first configuration information is DC configuration information, and the second configuration information is CHO configuration information related to network energy saving; or the first configuration information is CHO configuration information related to network energy saving, and the second configuration information is DC configuration information.

[0259] In one embodiment, taking the first operation as a CHO operation as an example, the network-side device sends target control signaling to the terminal, instructing one or more cells of one or more terminals to enter a network energy-saving state; the network-side device configures the first terminal group, PCell = cell1, to use the same bit a to check whether the CHO operation in the first operation is triggered or whether the PCell is instructed to enter the network energy-saving state; the network-side device configures the second terminal group, PCell = cell 2, to use the same bit b to check whether the CHO operation in the first operation is triggered or whether the PCell is instructed to enter the network energy-saving state. Where a and b are different.

[0260] It should be noted that this embodiment is an implementation of the network side device corresponding to the embodiment shown in Figure 2. Its specific implementation can refer to the relevant description of the embodiment shown in Figure 2. To avoid repetition, this embodiment will not be repeated.

[0261] The following describes the operation execution method provided by the embodiment of the present application through several specific examples:

[0262] Example 1:

[0263] In this embodiment, specific bits of the target control signaling are mapped to specific UEs.

[0264] The operation execution method of this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0265] Step (11): The UE receives the CHO configuration, which includes candidate target cells and NES specific CHO execution conditions.

[0266] Step (12): The UE receives configuration information 1, where the configuration information 1 is used to indicate a mapping relationship between bits of target control signaling (such as DCI 2_9) and the UE. For example, the configuration information 1 indicates that the x-th bit in DCI 2_9 corresponds to the UE.

[0267] Step (13): The UE receives DCI 2_9. If DCI 2_9 carries the xth bit, or the value of the xth bit is y (for example, 1), the UE initiates a first operation. For example, the first operation may be performed by CHO.

[0268] Step (14): The UE completes random access on one of the candidate target cells.

[0269] Example 2:

[0270] In this embodiment, the target control signaling carries the group ID of the UE.

[0271] The operation execution method of this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0272] Step (21): The UE receives the CHO configuration, which includes candidate target cells and NES specific CHO execution conditions.

[0273] Step (22): The UE receives configuration information 2, where the configuration information 2 is used to indicate the grouping information of the UE, for example, the UE is assigned Group ID=1.

[0274] Step (23): The UE receives target control signaling (such as DCI 2_9). If DCI 2_9 carries the group ID of the UE, the UE initiates a first operation. For example, the first operation may be performed by CHO.

[0275] Step (24): The UE completes random access on one of the candidate target cells.

[0276] Example 3:

[0277] In this embodiment, each bit of the target control signaling corresponds to each serving cell.

[0278] The operation execution method of this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0279] Step (31): The UE receives the CHO configuration, which includes candidate target cells and NES specific CHO execution conditions.

[0280] Step (32): The UE receives configuration information 3, where the configuration information 3 is used to indicate a mapping relationship between bits of target control signaling (e.g., DCI 2_9) and the serving cell of the UE. For example, configuration information 3 indicates that the Xth bit in DCI 2_9 corresponds to the PCell of the UE, the Yth bit corresponds to the SCell 1 of the UE, and the Zth bit corresponds to the SCell 2 of the UE.

[0281] Step (33): The UE receives DCI 2_9. If the value of the Xth bit in DCI 2_9 is y (e.g., 1), it indicates that the PCell of the UE enters the network energy-saving state, and the UE initiates a first operation. For example, the first operation may be performed by CHO.

[0282] Step (34): The UE completes random access on one of the candidate target cells.

[0283] Optionally, when DC is configured, configuration information 3 indicates that the Mth bit in DCI 2_9 corresponds to the PSCell of the UE. When the UE receives DCI 2_9, if the value of the Mth bit in DCI 2_9 is y (e.g., 1), it indicates that the PSCell of the UE enters a network energy-saving state, and the UE initiates a first operation, which can be performed by CPC, for example.

[0284] Optionally, when DC is configured and DCI 2_9 is per CG configuration, the network side can configure the bits mapped by the SPCell in each CG in DCI 2_9.

[0285] Example 4:

[0286] In this embodiment, N consecutive bits of the target control signaling correspond to the CHO or CPC of the UE.

[0287] The operation execution method of this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0288] Step (41): The UE is configured with CHO and CPC.

[0289] Step (42): The UE receives configuration information 4, which is used to indicate the mapping relationship between the bits of the target control signaling (such as DCI 2_9) and the PCell and PSCell of the UE. For example, starting from the Xth bit of DCI 2_9, two consecutive bits represent the network energy saving status of the PCell and PSCell respectively.

[0290] Step (43): The UE receives DCI 2_9. If the value of the Xth bit in DCI 2_9 is y (e.g., 1), it indicates that the PCell of the UE enters a network energy-saving state, and the UE initiates a first operation. For example, the first operation may be performed by CHO. If the value of the X+1th bit in DCI 2_9 is y (e.g., 1), it indicates that the PSCell of the UE enters a network energy-saving state, and the UE initiates a first operation. For example, the first operation may be performed by CPC.

[0291] Example 5:

[0292] In this example, DC and NES CHO were not co-present.

[0293] The protocol stipulates that DC and NES CHO should not be configured at the same time.

[0294] The UE or the network can ensure that DC and NES CHO are not configured simultaneously. For example, the network ensures that when one of DC and NES CHO is configured for the terminal, the other is not configured or is configured. Alternatively, if the UE is configured with either DC or NES CHO and then receives an NES CHO configuration and a DC configuration, the UE ignores the latter configuration, or the UE determines that the reconfiguration has failed and initiates a re-establishment process.

[0295] Example 6:

[0296] In this example, DCs and NES CHO were co-present.

[0297] The network side and UE allow simultaneous configuration of DC and NES CHO.

[0298] The target control signaling may be per UE. Regardless of the cell group (CG) from which the UE receives the target control signaling, the target control signaling triggers the CHO of the UE according to the mapping rules of the above embodiment; or

[0299] The target control signaling can be per cell group (CG). When the target control signaling received by the UE is related to the SCG, the UE triggers CPC. Optionally, the configuration related to the SCG-related target control signaling, that is, the SCG-related configuration information in configuration information 1 to configuration information 4 in the above embodiment, can be configured by the secondary node (SN) or the master node (MN).

[0300] Through the operation execution method of this embodiment, the network side and the terminal side have a consistent understanding of whether the terminal receives DCI 2_9 and whether the CHO operation is triggered after receiving DCI 2_9, thereby avoiding problems such as transmission failure or resource waste caused by inconsistent understanding between the network side and the terminal side.

[0301] The operation execution method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by an operation execution device. In the embodiment of the present application, the operation execution device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the operation execution method executed by the operation execution device as an example.

[0302] Please refer to FIG4 , which is a structural diagram of an operation execution device provided in an embodiment of the present application. A terminal includes the operation execution device. As shown in FIG4 , the operation execution device 300 includes:

[0303] Receiving module 301, used to receive target control signaling sent by network side equipment;

[0304] A first determining module 302 is configured to determine to perform a first operation if the target control signaling satisfies a target condition;

[0305] The first operation includes at least one of the following:

[0306] Conditional switch CHO operation;
