[0305] It should be understood that references throughout this specification to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic associated with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. Therefore, the appearances of "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" throughout this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, these particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0306] In the various embodiments of the present disclosure, it should be understood that the size of the serial numbers of the following processes does not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0307] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "and / or" describes the association relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0308] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, and other quantifiers are similar thereto.

[0309] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0310] The network device sends an LTM cell switch command to the UE based on the L1 measurement results reported by the UE. When the UE receives the LTM cell switch command sent by the network device, the UE will execute an LTM cell change. If the UE fails to execute the MCG LTM cell change, the UE will execute a cell selection process. If the target cell selected by the UE cell selection is an LTM candidate cell, the UE will execute LTM recovery. When the target cell selected by the UE cell selection is not an LTM candidate cell, the UE triggers a reconstruction process. If the target cell selected by the UE cell selection is an LTM candidate cell, when the UE fails to execute LTM recovery, the UE will trigger a reconstruction process. For the situation where the UE has an LTM mobility failure, there is currently no optimization method. The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a mobility failure processing method, apparatus, terminal and network device for optimizing the problem of LTM mobility failure in the terminal.

[0311] Among them, the method and the device are based on the same application concept. Since the principles of solving problems by the method and the device are similar, the implementation of the device and the method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0312] As shown in FIG1 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for handling mobility failure, which is applied to a terminal and specifically includes the following steps:

[0313] Step 101: When a terminal is configured with layer 1 and / or layer 2 triggered mobility LTM configuration information, if a failure occurs, the terminal records first information, where the first information is LTM-related failure information.

[0314] Step 102: The terminal sends the first information to a network device.

[0315] In this embodiment, the network device configures LTM configuration information for the terminal. If a failure occurs in the terminal, the LTM-related failure information is recorded and reported to the network device. The network device can then perform LTM mobility optimization based on the LTM-related failure information, or the network device can send the LTM-related failure information to other relevant nodes for LTM mobility optimization. In some embodiments, the terminal failure can be an LTM execution failure or other failure conditions.

[0316] In some embodiments, the LTM may be an LTM on a Master Cell Group (MCG) side or an LTM on a Secondary Cell Group (SCG) side.

[0317] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when a terminal is configured with LTM configuration information and a terminal failure occurs, LTM-related failure information is recorded and reported to a network device, so that the network device or other related nodes perform mobility optimization.

[0318] As an optional embodiment, when the mobility LTM configuration information triggered by layer 1 and / or layer 2 is configured, if a failure occurs, recording the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0319] (1) When a terminal is configured with the mobility LTM configuration information triggered by layer 1 and / or layer 2, if a single failure occurs, the terminal records the first information;

[0320] (2) When the terminal is configured with the mobility LTM configuration information triggered by layer 1 and / or layer 2, if continuous failures occur, the terminal records the first information, where the continuous failures include at least two failures.

[0321] In this embodiment, the terminal may record LTM-related failure information in the event of a single failure, or in the event of consecutive failures. For example, the terminal may record failure information and report it to the network device when the first failure occurs, and / or may record failure information and report it to the network device when two or more consecutive failures occur.

[0322] In some embodiments, the single failure includes one of the following:

[0323] 11) LTM execution failure; for example: the terminal fails to execute LTM, but LTM is successfully restored or rebuilt. The terminal only experiences one LTM execution failure, and the terminal records and reports LTM-related failure information.

[0324] 12) Radio link failure (RLF) occurs in the source cell; for example, if a terminal experiences RLF in the source cell but LTM recovers or reestablishes successfully, the terminal only experiences one RLF failure. The terminal may record and report LTM-related failure information.

[0325] 13) Failure to perform a legacy handover (legacy HO). For example, if a terminal fails to perform a legacy HO but LTM recovery or reestablishment succeeds, and the terminal experiences only one legacy HO failure, the terminal records and reports LTM-related failure information. Legacy cell changes include legacy L3 handovers and legacy Primary SCG Cell (PSCell) changes.

[0326] The above LTM recovery is successful when the target cell selected by the UE during the cell selection process is a candidate cell among the LTM candidate cells. The UE directly executes the configuration information of the candidate cell for recovery, and the recovery is successful.

[0327] The candidate cell execution configuration information is the candidate cell configuration information executed by the UE when executing LTM, and the candidate cell execution configuration information may be the configuration information of the LTM candidate cell (when the configuration information of the LTM candidate cell is a complete configuration), or the candidate cell execution configuration information is the reference configuration information + the configuration information of the LTM candidate cell (when the configuration information of the LTM candidate cell is a delta configuration based on the reference configuration information).

[0328] In some embodiments, the consecutive failures include one of the following:

[0329] 21) LTM execution fails and LTM recovery fails;

[0330] In this embodiment, the failure to recover through LTM means that after the terminal fails to execute LTM, the terminal selects a cell, and the cell selected is a candidate cell among the LTM candidate cells. The terminal directly executes the configuration information of this candidate cell for recovery, and if the recovery fails, the terminal can record the first information.

[0331] 22) RLF occurs in the source cell and recovery through LTM fails;

[0332] In this embodiment, the failure to recover through LTM indicates that: after RLF occurs in the source cell, the terminal performs cell selection, the selected cell is a candidate cell among the LTM candidate cells, the terminal executes the configuration information of the candidate cell for recovery, and the recovery fails. In this case, the terminal can record the first information.

[0333] 23) The legacy cell change (legacy HO) fails, and recovery via LTM fails.

[0334] In this embodiment, the failure to recover through LTM indicates that: after the legacy HO fails, the terminal performs cell selection, the selected cell is a candidate cell among the LTM candidate cells, the terminal executes the configuration information of the candidate cell for recovery, and the recovery fails. In this case, the terminal can record the first information.

[0335] 24) Failure in executing LTM, successful recovery through LTM, and RLF occurs within the first time of accessing the target cell;

[0336] The first time is a short time and can be a preset value. If the terminal fails to execute LTM and successfully recovers through LTM, but RLF soon occurs in the target cell, the first information can be recorded. The successful LTM recovery means that the target cell selected by the UE during the cell selection process is a candidate cell among the LTM candidate cells, and the UE directly executes the configuration information of this candidate cell for recovery, and the recovery is successful.

[0337] 25) RLF occurs in the source cell, is successfully recovered through LTM, and RLF occurs within the second time of accessing the target cell;

[0338] The second time period is a shorter time period and may be a preset value. The second time period may be the same as or different from the first time period, and is not limited here. If the terminal successfully recovers through LTM after an RLF occurs in the source cell, but an RLF occurs in the target cell soon after, the terminal may record the first information.

[0339] The successful recovery through LTM means that the target cell selected by the UE during the cell selection process is a candidate cell among the LTM candidate cells, and the UE directly executes the configuration information of the candidate cell for recovery, and the recovery is successful.

[0340] 26) The traditional cell change fails, but is successfully recovered through LTM, and RLF occurs within the third time of accessing the target cell.

[0341] The third time is a shorter time and can be a preset value. The third time can be the same as or different from the first time and / or the second time, which is not limited here. After the terminal executes legacy HO, it successfully recovers through LTM, but RLF occurs soon in the target cell, then the first information can be recorded. The successful recovery through LTM means that the target cell selected by the UE when executing the cell selection process is a candidate cell among the LTM candidate cells, and the UE directly executes the configuration information of this candidate cell for recovery, and the recovery is successful.

The UE applies the configuration information of the LTM candidate cells based on the reference configuration information to generate a complete configuration.

[0360] 114) Configuration information of the LTM candidate cell. Each candidate cell is associated with an LTM candidate cell configuration information. The configuration information of a candidate cell can be a complete configuration or a delta configuration based on a reference configuration.

[0371] Refer to the configuration information;

[0372] Configuration information of the LTM recovery cell; the configuration information of the LTM recovery cell is the configuration information of the LTM candidate cell of this LTM recovery cell configured by the network for the UE, which can be complete configuration information or delta configuration information based on the reference configuration.

[0373] The identification information of the cell where the radio link failure occurs may be for a case where the terminal successfully recovers through LTM but RLF soon occurs in the target cell. The terminal may record the identification information of the cell where the radio link failure occurs.

[0374] (3) Information related to the time when the failure occurred;

[0375] In some embodiments, the information related to the time when the failure occurred includes at least one of the following:

[0376] The time between the time the terminal receives the LTM configuration information and the time when RLF occurs;

[0377] The time between the moment the terminal receives the LTM configuration information and the moment the legacy cell change (legacy HO) fails;

[0378] The time between the moment when the terminal receives the LTM configuration information and the moment when the first information is sent to the network device;

[0381] (4) Indication information indicating whether the UE supports subsequent LTM. This indication information is used to indicate whether the UE will perform subsequent LTM. Subsequent LTM means that after the UE performs an LTM cell switch, the UE does not release the LTM configuration information (that is, the UE does not release all LTM-related configuration information) and continues to perform subsequent LTM cell switches.

[0382] As an optional embodiment, the recording of the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0383] recording the first information in a report;

[0384] The first information is recorded in different reports, and association relationships are established between different reports.

[0385] In this embodiment, the terminal recording the first information may be recording multiple failure-related information in the first information in one report, or recording multiple failure-related information in the first information in different reports and establishing associations. For a single failure, the terminal records the first information in one report.

[0386] The terminal records the first information in a report, and the report may be in one or more forms such as an RLF report, other existing reports, and newly introduced reports. The other existing reports include, for example, a connection establishment failure (CEF) report, a random access report (RACH report), and a successful handover report (SHR).

[0389] Setting indication information in the report, and establishing association relationships between different reports through the indication information, for example: adding an indication information to report A to indicate that this report A has a related report B, and / or adding an indication information to report B to indicate that this report B has a related report A;

[0390] Establish associations between different reports through timestamps. That is, introduce timestamp information into multiple reports. If the timestamp information in multiple reports is the same or similar, they are related reports.

[0391] The association relationship between different reports is established through the identification information of the terminal, for example: the association is through the Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI), C-RNTI is introduced in Report A, and C-RNTI is also introduced in Report B. These two C-RNTIs are both C-RNTIs for UEs in the same cell (such as both are C-RNTIs of UEs in the source cell or both are C-RNTIs of UEs in the target cell). Therefore, when the C-RNTI in Report A and the C-RNTI in Report B are the same, Report A and Report B are associated reports. If they are different, Report A and Report B are unrelated reports.

[0392] In this embodiment, the terminal records multiple failure-related information in the first information in different reports and associates them, where the association method can be one or more of the above: association with parameters in multiple reports; association by introducing indication information in the report; association with timestamps; association with terminal identification information.

[0397] In some embodiments, before receiving the request message sent by the network device, the method further includes:

[0398] Send sixth indication information to the network device, where the sixth indication information is used to indicate that the terminal stores the first information.

[0399] In this embodiment, the terminal reporting the first information may be: the terminal directly reports the first information to the network device; or, the network device sends a request message to the terminal to request the first information, and the terminal reports the first information based on the situation of the network device; or, after recording the first information, the terminal sends an available indication information to the network device to notify the network device that the terminal has stored the LTM-related failure information, and the network device can then request the first information from the terminal based on the indication information, and the terminal reports the first information based on the request of the network device.

[0400] After receiving the first information, the network device may perform LTM mobility optimization or forward the information to a related node through interface signaling for LTM mobility optimization, where the interface signaling may be Xn, X2, E1, or F1 interface signaling.

[0401] The following example illustrates the implementation process of the mobility failure processing method.

[0402] Specifically, they include:

[0403] Step (1): UE experiences continuous failures.

[0404] When the UE is configured with LTM configuration information and executes LTM, scenarios in which the terminal fails to send messages continuously may include one or more of the following scenarios:

[0405] Scenario 1: The UE fails to execute LTM and fails to recover from LTM.

[0406] Scenario 2: The UE experiences RLF in the source cell and LTM recovery fails.

[0407] Scenario 3: The UE fails to perform legacy HO and fails to perform LTM recovery.

[0408] Scenario 4: The UE fails LTM and succeeds through LTM recovery, but soon experiences RLF in the target cell.

[0409] Scenario 5: The UE experiences RLF in the source cell and succeeds through LTM recovery, but soon experiences RLF in the target cell.

[0411] In addition, continuous LTM failures can also occur in the following scenarios:

[0412] Scenario 7: The UE fails LTM, succeeds LTM recovery, and then experiences RLF in the target cell after a period of time.

[0413] Scenario 8: The UE experiences RLF in the source cell, succeeds through LTM recovery, and then experiences RLF in the target cell some time later.

[0414] Scenario 9: The UE fails to perform legacy HO, succeeds through LTM recovery, and then experiences RLF in the target cell after a period of time.

[0415] Step (2): The UE records the first information.

[0416] When a UE encounters any of the consecutive failure scenarios in step (1) above, the UE shall record one or more of the following LTM-related failure information:

[0424] a2: information in LTM cell switch (one or more);

[0425] The information in the LTM cell switch includes TCI state identification information, target configuration identification information, target cell TA value, and CFRA resource information. The target cell TA value is the TA value for the target cell obtained through a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) order. The CFRA resource information includes the RACH dedicated configuration information required for the UE to access the target cell. The target configuration identification information indicates which target cell the UE will switch to or which target configuration the UE will apply. The TCI state identification information can be understood as indicating the beam to be applied after the UE switches to the target cell.

[0426] a3: Identification information of each LTM candidate cell.

[0427] The identification information of each candidate LTM cell can be physical cell ID (PCI) + frequency information, or CGI.

[0428] The identification information of each candidate cell in this LTM can be reported in the following ways:

[0429] Method 1: Candidate cell identification information list, that is, all candidate cell identification information is put into a list, and each entry in this list is the identification information of a candidate cell;

[0430] Method 2: Indication information in L3 neighbor measurement, that is, in the neighbor measurement result report, for each neighbor, add an indication information to indicate whether this neighbor is an LTM candidate cell; in addition, for LTM candidate cells that are not in the L3 neighbor measurement, record them in the same way as method 1, that is, record them in list form;

[0431] Method 3: Obtain candidate cell identification information through L1 measurement result reporting or L1 measurement configuration information.

[0432] a4: L1 measurement result information of each candidate LTM cell. The L1 measurement result information of each candidate LTM cell may be L1 reference signal received power (Layer 1 reference signal received power, L1-RSRP) information, etc.

[0434] The configured layer 1 measurement configuration information of each LTM candidate cell may be information such as the configured SSB frequency, subcarrier spacing, and SSB period.

[0435] a6: Information about the TCI state(s) activated in advance.

[0436] The information of the pre-activated TCI state(s) is the pre-activated TCI state(s) information sent by the network device through a Medium Access Control (MAC) control element (CE).

[0437] a7: Whether the LTM execution mode is RACH mode or RACH-less mode, which can indicate whether the access mode of the most recent LTM execution is RACH mode or RACH-less mode;

[0438] a8: Timing Advance (TA) value of the target cell determined by the UE. This can be the TA value of the target cell calculated by the UE itself.

[0439] a9: CG configuration information of the target cell. This can be the uplink resource / configuration authorization configured by the network device for the target cell and used by the UE to send the first UL data after accessing the target cell.

[0440] a10: LTM timer value (such as T304 value).

[0441] a11: The time from when the UE receives the LTM configuration information to when the LTM execution fails.

[0442] a12: The time from the UE failing to execute LTM to reporting the first information.

[0443] a13: Refer to the configuration information.

[0444] The reference configuration information is the reference configuration configured by the network device for the UE. That is, when the UE generates the target cell configuration, it needs to combine the candidate target cell configuration and the reference configuration to generate a complete target cell configuration. That is, the candidate target cell configuration is a delta configuration based on the reference configuration.

[0445] a14: Configuration information of LTM candidate cells.

[0446] a15: candidate cell execution configuration information.

[0447] In this embodiment, the information related to the LTM execution failure may be information that needs to be recorded and reported for the first LTM execution failure. The information related to the first LTM execution failure may be recorded and reported for the first failure in scenarios 7 to 9 in step (1), or recorded and reported for a single LTM execution failure. For example, if the LTM execution fails but LTM recovery succeeds and there is no subsequent failure in the target cell, the above information may be recorded and reported.

[0448] Regarding the above b) information related to the second LTM recovery failure, it may include one or more of the following information (mainly for information that needs to be recorded and reported during the LTM recovery process):

[0449] b1: LTM recovery cell identification information;

[0450] The LTM recovery cell identification information can be the physical cell ID (PCI) + frequency, or CGI. If the UE supports recording LTM related information in the RLF report, the LTM recovery cell identifier (such as LTMCellId) recorded in the RLF report is the global cell identification information (CGI) of the selected cell (if any), otherwise it is recorded as the physical cell ID (PCI) and frequency.

[0451] b2: Indication information of whether the UE has obtained the TA value of the LTM recovery cell. This indication information indicates whether the UE has obtained the TA value of the LTM recovery cell, that is, whether the UE has calculated the TA value of the LTM recovery cell by itself.

[0452] b3: TA value of the LTM recovery cell determined by the UE. This can be the TA value of the LTM recovery cell calculated by the UE itself or the TA value of the LTM recovery cell received by the UE from the network device.

[0453] b4: Indication information of whether the LTM recovery process is a RACH process or a RACH-less process. It can indicate whether the UE accesses the LTM recovery cell in RACH mode or RACH-less mode during the LTM recovery process.

[0454] b5: Indication information of whether the UE has been synchronized with the LTM recovery cell downlink; indicates whether the UE has been synchronized with the LTM recovery cell downlink when accessing the LTM recovery cell.

[0455] b6: CG configuration of LTM recovery cell;

[0456] It can be the CG configuration pre-configured by the network device for the LTM recovery cell, or the uplink resource / configuration authorization configured by the network device for the UE to send the first UL data when accessing the LTM recovery cell.

[0457] b7: reference configuration information; same as the reference configuration information in the information related to the first LTM execution failure, which will not be repeated here.

[0458] b8: configuration information of the LTM recovery cell; refers to the configuration information of the LTM recovery cell pre-configured by the network device (configuration information of a candidate cell among the candidate cells).

[0459] The third LTM recovery failure related information mentioned in c) may include one or more of the following information (mainly for information that needs to be recorded and reported when RLF occurs in the target cell shortly after successful LTM recovery):

[0460] c1: information related to the second LTM recovery failure;

[0461] c2: failed cell identification information; refers to the identification information of the failed target cell in which RLF occurs within a short period of time after the UE successfully performs LTM recovery. It can be PCI+frequency or CGI.

[0462] The fourth other LTM failure related information mentioned above (d) may include one or more of the following information (information that needs to be recorded and reported in addition to the above three types of information):

[0463] d1: The time from receiving the LTM configuration to the occurrence of RLF / legacy HO failure;

[0464] d2: the time from receiving the LTM configuration to reporting the first information;

[0465] d3: time from the occurrence of RLF / legacy HO failure to the reporting of the first information;

[0466] d4: Indication information of whether subsequent LTM is supported; this indication information indicates whether the network device configures the UE to execute subsequent LTM.

[0467] In some embodiments, the recording method of the first information may include:

[0468] The first information may be recorded in one or more of the following reports:

[0469] RLF report (report);

[0470] Other existing reports are used; for example, a Connection Establishment Failure (CEF) report, a Random Access Report (RACH) report, a Successful Handover Report (SHR) and the like.

[0471] Introducing new reports.

[0472] When the content of the first information is recorded in two or more reports, they can be associated in one or more of the following ways:

[0473] Method a: Associate with parameters from multiple reports;

[0474] For example, if multiple reports contain the same parameter, they can be associated using the same reference. When a network device receives these reports and finds the same parameter value, it considers them to be related to the same LTM switch. Otherwise, it considers them to be unrelated.

[0475] Method b: Introduce indicator information in the report for association.

[0476] The same indication information can be added to multiple reports of the same LTM switch to indicate that these reports are related to the same LTM execution. Alternatively, indication information can be introduced in some reports to indicate that there are other reports for this LTM switch, or even to indicate that there are several related reports.

[0477] Alternatively, you could also consider assigning a unique number to each report generated by this LTM execution. When submitting a report, you would include the report number and the numbers of the associated reports. Once the network receives the report, it will know which reports are associated with it.

[0478] Method c: Associate by timestamp.

[0479] For example, if the timestamps recorded in multiple reports are the same or the time interval between the timestamps recorded in these reports is very short, it indicates that these reports are related to the same LTM switch; otherwise, it indicates that there is no correlation between these reports.

[0480] Method d: associate with terminal identification information.

[0481] Taking the Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) of the source cell as an example, if the C-RNTI information of the source cell executed by this LTM is stored in multiple reports, then when the network device receives these reports, it can check whether the C-RNTI of the source cell recorded in these reports is the same. If they are the same, it indicates that they are reports related to the same LTM handover. If they are not the same, it indicates that they are not reports related to the same LTM handover, that is, there is no correlation between the reports.

[0482] Step (3): The UE reports the first information.

[0483] When the UE generates the first information, the UE may send an availability indication message to the network in an uplink completion message, notifying the network that the UE side stores the first information. The uplink completion message may be one or more of a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration complete message, an RRC connection establishment complete message, an RRC connection recovery complete message, and an RRC connection reestablishment complete message. The indication information may be 1-bit indication information.

[0484] When the network device receives the availability indication information sent by the UE, it sends a request message to the UE, requesting the UE to report the first information; alternatively, the network may also directly send a request message to the UE to request the UE to report the first information without the need for the availability indication information, that is, the UE may not report the availability indication information to the device.

[0485] After the UE receives the request information sent by the network device, the UE reports the first information based on the request of the network device.

[0486] The above-mentioned network device request and UE response may be sent using a UE Information Request / Response message pair.

[0487] Step (4): Network optimization.

[0488] When the network device receives the first information sent by the UE, it can perform mobility optimization based on the first information, or the network device can send this first information to the relevant node through interface signaling, and the relevant node will perform mobility optimization, where the interface signaling can be one or more of Xn, X2, E1, and F1 interface signaling.

[0489] In this embodiment, when a UE has a continuous LTM failure, the UE may record and report information related to the continuous LTM failure to a network device for network optimization.

[0490] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when a terminal is configured with LTM configuration information and a terminal failure occurs, LTM-related failure information is recorded and reported to a network device, so that the network device or other related nodes perform mobility optimization.

[0491] As shown in FIG2 , an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a method for handling mobility failure, which is applied to a network device and includes:

[0492] Step 201: A network-side device receives first information sent by a terminal. The first information is recorded when the terminal is configured with LTM configuration information and a failure occurs; the first information is LTM-related failure information.

[0555] In some embodiments, different reports are linked by at least one of the following:

[0558] Timestamp: that is, timestamp information is introduced in multiple reports. If the timestamp information in multiple reports is the same or similar, then they are related reports;

[0559] Terminal identification information. For example, through the Cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI), the association is introduced in Report A and Report B. These two C-RNTIs are for the UE in the same cell (such as the C-RNTI of the UE in the source cell or the C-RNTI of the UE in the target cell). Therefore, when the C-RNTI in Report A and the C-RNTI in Report B are the same, they are associated reports. If they are different, they are unrelated reports.
