Referring to FIG2d , the C-DRX cycle includes a working period, and the start offset of the C-DRX cycle may be before the start offset of the working period. The value of the start offset of the working period is generally located at a subframe boundary, and the value of the start offset of the C-DRX cycle is generally located at a system frame number (SFN) boundary.

[0152] Optionally, C-DRX may increase the latency of downlink data. The longer the C-DRX cycle, the more energy-efficient it is, but the greater the latency.

The network device 102 may configure the following parameters in the DRX configuration, such as the first configuration information:

[0155] In step S2102, the terminal 101 determines first parameter information in at least one set of C-DRX parameter information according to the first configuration information.

[0156] Optionally, the first parameter information is C-DRX parameter information applicable to this measurement (applicable DRX for measurement) or applicable to this measurement object (measurement object, MO).

[0157] Optionally, before performing each measurement, the terminal 101 may determine C-DRX parameter information applicable to the current measurement from multiple groups or sets of C-DRX parameter information, that is, determine the C-DRX parameter information applied to the current measurement.

[0158] In some embodiments, the measurement object is a layer 3 (Layer 3, L3) measurement object and / or a layer 1 L1 measurement object.

[0159] Optionally, the L3 measurement object includes co-frequency measurement, heterofrequency measurement or heterosystem measurement; it may also include measurement requirements under different types of measurements such as co-frequency measurement, heterofrequency measurement or heterosystem measurement, such as primary synchronization signal (PSS) or secondary synchronization signal (SSS) identification delay requirements, synchronization signal block (SSB) index detection requirements, measurement requirements, etc.

[0160] Optionally, the L1 measurement includes Radio Link Monitoring (RLM), Beam Failure Detection (BFD), L1 Reference Signal Received Power (L1-RSRP), or L1 Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (L1 SINR), etc.

[0161] In some embodiments, the first parameter information is:

[0162] In at least one set of C-DRX parameter information, a set of C-DRX parameter information including a maximum value of a C-DRX cycle; or

[0163] In at least one set of C-DRX parameter information, a set of C-DRX parameter information where the minimum value of the C-DRX cycle is located.

[0164] Optionally, the above two solutions can be recorded as Solution 1 and Solution 2 depending on the selected cycle. Assume that the network device 102 configures i groups or sets of C-DRX parameter information, wherein the cycle in the parameter information of the first group of C-DRX is recorded as DRX_cycle_1, the cycle in the parameter information of the second group of C-DRX is recorded as DRX_cycle_2, ..., and the cycle in the parameter information of the i-th group of C-DRX is recorded as DRX_cycle_i, then:

[0165] In the first solution, when determining the first parameter information, max(DRX_cycle_1, ..., DRX_cycle_i), i.e., the parameter information where the maximum values ​​of the multiple DRX cycles are located, is determined;

[0166] In the second solution, when determining the first parameter information, min(DRX_cycle_1, ..., DRX_cycle_i), ie, the parameter information where the minimum values ​​of the multiple DRX cycles are located, is determined.

[0167] In some embodiments, the first parameter information satisfies one of the following:

[0168] The terminal is determined based on the protocol definition;

[0169] The terminal is determined according to the configuration of the network equipment;

[0170] The terminal is selected based on the mobility status or communication status.

[0171] Optionally, the rules or principles for selecting the first parameter information may be defined by a protocol, for example, the first solution may be selected by a protocol to determine the parameter information applicable to the measurement; or the second solution may be selected by a protocol to determine the parameter information applicable to the measurement.

[0172] Optionally, the network device may configure or instruct the terminal to select a rule or scheme for the first parameter information. For example, the network device instructs the terminal to select the above-mentioned scheme 1 or scheme 2 to determine parameter information applicable for measurement.

[0173] Optionally, in an implementation where the terminal selects independently, the terminal may select based on a condition or event that triggers the terminal to select. The condition or event may be predefined, network-configured, or terminal-customized. For example, when the relevant state of the terminal satisfies a relevant condition or event, the terminal selects solution 1 or solution 2 corresponding to the condition or event.

[0174] In one example, terminal 101 evaluates its own mobility state. If it is in low mobility, it can determine the applicable measurement parameter information according to solution 1, that is, select a C-DRX cycle with a large cycle as the applicable measurement cycle. Conversely, if it is in high mobility, it can determine the applicable measurement parameter information according to solution 2.

[0175] In this example, terminal 101 can determine whether it is in low mobility or high mobility by performing multiple determinations over a set period of time to determine whether the difference between two measurement results meets a threshold condition. If so, the terminal is in low mobility; if not, the terminal is in high mobility. The measurement result can be RSRP or RSRQ. For example, within a specific period of time, the terminal can determine the difference between two consecutive signal measurement results multiple times. If the difference meets a threshold condition, such as being less than the corresponding threshold, the terminal is considered to be in low mobility.

[0176] Alternatively, when the terminal determines that the moving speed is less than the speed threshold, it is considered to be in low mobility; when the moving speed is greater than the speed threshold, it is considered to be in high mobility.

[0177] In another example, terminal 101 evaluates the link quality of communication. If the signal quality is good (e.g., RSRP is higher than a corresponding threshold), the terminal 101 may determine applicable measurement parameter information according to solution 1, i.e., select a C-DRX cycle with a longer cycle as the applicable measurement cycle. Conversely, if the signal quality is poor (e.g., RSRP is lower than a corresponding threshold), the terminal 101 may determine applicable measurement parameter information according to solution 2.

[0178] In some embodiments, C-DRX parameter information such as the C-DRX cycle affects measurement requirements such as measurement delay. Therefore, when the determined C-DRX cycle is different, the corresponding measurement requirements are different. Please refer to the description of the following embodiments for details.

[0179] Step S2103: The terminal 101 determines a first measurement delay of the measurement object according to the first parameter information.

[0180] Optionally, the terminal 101 may determine the first measurement delay according to the C-DRX cycle in the first parameter information.

[0181] In some embodiments, during RRM measurements, different measurements are performed based on configured measurement opportunities, including, for example, synchronization signal or physical broadcast channel block measurement time configuration (SSB Measurement Timing Configuration, SMTC), measurement gap repetition period (MGRP), SSB transmission timing (Tssb), or channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) transmission timing (Tcsi-rs). When C-DRX is configured, it is expected that terminal 101 performs measurements during the C-DRX operating period to meet the terminal's energy saving requirements.

[0182] Optionally, when C-DRX is configured, measurement requirements such as measurement delay are determined based on max(C-DRX cycle, measurement opportunity). Therefore, whether the C-DRX cycle in the first parameter information is the maximum or minimum value among multiple configurations will affect the measurement delay.

[0183] In one example, referring to Table 1, the measured delay (T PSS / SSS_sync_intra ) as an example, the measurement delay in different situations can be determined based on the method in Table 1, where DRX in the table corresponds to C-DRX in this embodiment.

[0184] Table 1

[0185] Among them, K p A coefficient determined based on the time domain relationship between the measurement timing (SMTC) of a measurement object that does not require a measurement gap (MG) and the MG timing of a measurement object that requires a measurement gap, used to avoid the MG position in the time domain. intra A factor that determines the shared relationship between measurement opportunities for different measurement objects. Ceil represents an operation that determines the smallest integer greater than or equal to the expression.

[0186] In this example, after determining the first parameter information, the terminal 101 may determine the first measurement delay based on Table 1 according to the C-DRX cycle in the first parameter information.

[0187] In another example, referring to Table 2, the measurement delay (T PSS / SSS_sync_intra ), wherein DRX in the table corresponds to C-DRX in this embodiment.

[0188] Table 2

[0189] Among them, K gap It is a coefficient determined according to the time domain relationship between the MG and the SMTC corresponding to the measurement object of the required measurement interval, for example, the time domain relationship satisfies the MG covering the SMTC in the time domain.

[0190] In this example, after determining the first parameter information, the terminal 101 may determine the first measurement delay based on Table 2 according to the C-DRX cycle in the first parameter information.

[0191] In some embodiments, after determining the first measurement delay, the terminal 101 may complete the measurement of the measurement object within the delay and obtain a measurement result that meets the accuracy requirement.

[0192] Step S2104: In at least one set of C-DRX parameter information, the terminal 101 re-determines second parameter information applicable to the measurement object.

[0193] Optionally, the second parameter information is different from the first parameter information.

[0194] In some embodiments, the terminal 101 may redetermine the C-DRX configuration applicable to the measurement object based on an indication from the network device 102, or may redetermine the C-DRX configuration applicable to the measurement object based on a condition or event trigger of its own state, at which time the C-DRX cycle applicable to the measurement changes.

[0195] In one example, in at least one set of C-DRX parameter information, terminal 101 determines first parameter information based on solution 1, i.e., parameter information at which the maximum value of the C-DRX cycle is located. Based on an instruction from network device 102 or when terminal 101 determines a change in its own state, such as a change from low mobility to high mobility, terminal 101 needs to determine second parameter information based on solution 2, i.e., parameter information at which the minimum value of the C-DRX cycle is located.

[0196] In this example, the number of C-DRX groups or the parameters of each C-DRX group configured by the network device 102 do not change, but the parameter information applicable to the measurement object is changed, that is, the C-DRX cycle applicable to the measurement is changed, and the measurement requirements such as the measurement delay will also change.

[0197] Step S2105: Terminal 101 determines a second measurement delay according to the second parameter information.

[0198] Optionally, the C-DRX cycle of the second parameter information is different from that of the first parameter information, and the determined measurement delay may be different.

[0199] Optionally, the second measurement delay may still be determined by referring to Table 1 or Table 2 in step S2103.

[0200] Step S2106: The terminal performs measurement of the measurement object according to the larger one of the second measurement delay and the first measurement delay.

[0201] Optionally, when a C-DRX cycle transition occurs, as shown in step S2104 , the terminal 101 may determine measurement requirements during the transition (RRM requirements at transition).

[0202] Optionally, the first measurement delay is a measurement requirement determined before the C-DRX cycle transition, and the second measurement delay is a measurement requirement determined after the C-DRX cycle transition. The terminal 101 may select a relatively relaxed or less stringent one of the two requirements for measurement, such as selecting the one with a larger measurement delay for measurement, to ensure that the terminal 101 can effectively complete the measurement.

[0215] In some embodiments, reference may be made to other optional implementations described before or after the description corresponding to FIG. 2 a .

[0216] Figure 2b is an interactive diagram of a method for receiving and sending configuration information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2b, an embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a method for receiving and sending configuration information, the method comprising:

[0217] Step S2201: The network device 102 sends first configuration information to the terminal 101.

[0218] In some embodiments, the implementation of step S2201 can refer to the optional implementation of step S2101 in Figure 2a, which will not be repeated here.

[0219] In step S2202, the terminal 101 determines first parameter information in at least one set of C-DRX parameter information according to the first configuration information.

[0220] In some embodiments, the implementation of step S2202 can refer to the optional implementation of step S2102 in Figure 2a, which will not be repeated here.

[0221] Step S2203: The terminal 101 determines a first measurement delay of the measurement object according to the first parameter information.

[0222] In some embodiments, the implementation of step S2203 can refer to the optional implementation of step S2103 in Figure 2a, which will not be repeated here.

[0223] Step S2204 : The network device 102 sends second configuration information to the terminal 101 .

[0224] Optionally, the second configuration information may be used to configure one or more groups of C-DRX configurations.

[0225] Optionally, the C-DRX parameter information configured in the second configuration information and the C-DRX parameter information configured in the first configuration information are at least partially changed.

[0226] In one example, the number of C-DRX parameter information groups configured in the second configuration information is the same as that in the first configuration information, and the parameters of one or more groups of C-DRX configurations in the first configuration information are changed, such as the second configuration information changes the C-DRX cycle of a group of C-DRX configurations in the first configuration information.

[0227] In this example, since the cycles of multiple groups of C-DRX signals received by the terminal 101 change (changing DRX cycle length), the C-DRX cycle applicable to the measurement will also change.

[0228] Optionally, the number of groups of C-DRX parameter information configured in the second configuration information is different from the number of groups of C-DRX parameter information configured in the first configuration information.

[0229] In one example, the second configuration information configures 2 groups of C-DRX configurations, and the first configuration information configures 1 group of C-DRX configurations, wherein the first configuration information and the second configuration information may have the same group of C-DRX configurations, or each group of C-DRX configurations may be different. For example, as shown in reference Figure 2e, the first configuration information configures 1 group of C-DRX configurations, recorded as DRX#1 or DRX_cycle_#1, and the terminal 101 can determine the measurement delay based on this group of configurations. After this, the network device 102 adds 1 group of C-DRX configurations through the second configuration information, recorded as DRX#2 or DRX_cycle_#2. After receiving the second configuration information, the terminal 101 needs to determine the DRX configuration applicable to the measurement according to scheme one or scheme two, such as determining the DRX configuration corresponding to max(DRX_cycle_#1, DRX_cycle_#2) or min(DRX_cycle_#1, DRX_cycle_#2). At this time, the cycle applicable to the measurement may change.

[0230] In this example, the C-DRX configuration received by the terminal 101 is a transition from a single DRX configuration to multiple DRX configurations; in other examples, it may be a transition in the opposite direction of the two states.

[0231] Optionally, after receiving the second configuration information, the terminal 101 may determine that the C-DRX cycle applicable to the measurement has changed, and needs to re-determine the C-DRX configuration and measurement requirements applicable to the measurement.

[0232] Step S2205: The terminal 101 determines third parameter information applicable to the measurement object based on the second configuration information.

[0233] Optionally, the terminal 101 determines the parameter information applicable to the measurement object according to the C-DRX configuration in the second configuration information, which may be Solution 1 or Solution 2. Please refer to the relevant implementation of step S2102 and will not be repeated here.

[0235] Optionally, the implementation of step S2206 may refer to the implementation of step S2103 or S2105 in FIG. 2 a , such as determining the second measurement delay by referring to Table 1 or Table 2, which will not be described in detail here.

[0236] Step S2207: Terminal 101 performs measurement of the measurement object according to the larger one of the second measurement delay and the first measurement delay.

[0237] Optionally, the implementation of step S2207 may refer to the implementation of step S2106 in FIG. 2 a , and will not be described in detail here.

[0238] The method involved in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps S2201 to S2207; for example, the method includes step S2201, or the method includes steps S2201 to S2202, or the method includes steps S2201 to S2204.

[0239] In some embodiments, at least one of steps S2202 to S2203 is optional, and one or more of these steps may be omitted or replaced in different embodiments.

[0240] In some embodiments, at least one of steps S2204 to S2207 is optional, and one or more of these steps may be omitted or replaced in different embodiments.

[0241] In some embodiments, reference may be made to other optional implementations described before or after the description corresponding to FIG. 2 b .

[0242] Figure 2c is an interactive diagram of a method for receiving and sending configuration information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2c, an embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a method for receiving and sending configuration information, the method comprising:

[0243] Step S2301: The network device 102 sends first configuration information to the terminal 101.

[0244] In some embodiments, the implementation of step S2301 can refer to the optional implementation of step S2101 in Figure 2a, which will not be repeated here.

[0245] Step S2302: The terminal 101 determines first parameter information in at least one set of C-DRX parameter information according to the first configuration information.

[0246] In some embodiments, the implementation of step S2302 can refer to the optional implementation of step S2102 in Figure 2a, which will not be repeated here.

[0247] Step S2303: The terminal 101 determines a first measurement delay of the measurement object according to the first parameter information.

[0248] In some embodiments, the implementation of step S2303 can refer to the optional implementation of step S2103 in Figure 2a, which will not be repeated here.

[0249] In step S2304, the terminal 101 determines the C-DRX second parameter information or third parameter information applicable to the measurement.

[0250] Optionally, this step is applicable to the C-DRX cycle transition of the measurement.

[0251] In one implementation manner, the implementation manner of step S2304 may refer to the implementation manner of step S2104 in FIG. 2 a , and will not be described in detail here.

[0252] In another implementation manner, the implementation manner of step S2304 may refer to the implementation manner of steps S2204 to S2205 in FIG. 2 b , which will not be described in detail here.

[0253] Step S2305: After determining the second parameter information or the third parameter information, the terminal 101 re-performs the measurement of the measurement object.

[0254] In some embodiments, if the terminal 101 redetermines a C-DRX configuration suitable for measurement, the terminal 101 may re-perform measurement of the measurement object after redetermining the C-DRX configuration suitable for measurement, i.e., reselect and restart the measurement after the A.DRX cycle transitions.

[0255] Optionally, the terminal 101 may determine a new measurement requirement, such as a second measurement delay, based on the re-determined second parameter information or third parameter information.

[0256] For example, the terminal 101 performs MO1 measurement based on the first measurement delay determined based on the first parameter information, and obtains partial measurement results or measurement samples; if the second measurement delay is re-determined based on the second parameter information or the third parameter information, the terminal 101 needs to re-execute MO1 measurement based on the second measurement delay to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results.

[0257] The method involved in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps S2301 to S2305; for example, the method includes step S2301, or the method includes steps S2301 to S2304.
