Cell measurement method and device

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on January 9, 2024, with application number 202410035454.6 and application name “Cell Measurement Method and Device”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0003] In a communication system, terminals are mobile. To ensure service continuity and communication quality, terminals typically need to perform RRM measurements to achieve cell reselection or handover. RRM measurements are cell measurements that can include serving cell measurements and neighboring cell measurements.

[0004] In the related art, a terminal includes a main receiver, and the main receiver needs to perform frequent RRM measurements, which results in the main receiver being unable to enter a deep sleep state to achieve terminal energy saving.

[0110] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0111] It should be noted that, in this application, the terms "comprises," "includes," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus comprising the element.

[0112] In this application, the term "include" and its variations may refer to non-restrictive inclusion; the term "or" and its variations may refer to "and / or". In this application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. In this application, "plurality" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the previous and subsequent associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0113] First of all, the professional terms involved in this application are explained.

[0114] Frequency is the number given to fixed frequency.

[0115] Co-frequency neighboring cells refer to adjacent cells with the same frequency as the serving cell.

[0116] A different-frequency neighboring cell refers to an adjacent cell with a different frequency from the serving cell.

[0117] In the related art, the related content of low power consumption wake-up signal is being discussed.

[0118] The above-mentioned content includes the following two interpretations:

[0119] 1. When the terminal's main receiver is in deep sleep mode, the network can send a low-power wake-up signal to wake up the terminal's host receiver for related data transmission. That is, the terminal receives the low-power wake-up signal through the low-power receiver to determine whether the terminal's main receiver needs to exit sleep mode and enter an active state.

[0120] 2. When the terminal's main receiver is powered off or in flight mode, the network can send a low-power wake-up signal to wake it up for data transmission. The terminal's low-power receiver receives the low-power wake-up signal to determine whether the terminal's main receiver needs to be powered on or activated after exiting flight mode. At this point, since the main circuit is powered off or in flight mode and cannot receive any signals, the terminal requires an independent receiving circuit to receive the wake-up signal.

[0121] In the above two understandings, in order to keep the terminal's main receiver in a deep sleep state, or in a power-off state or flight mode for a long time, the terminal's main receiver cannot perform frequent RRM measurement activities or cannot perform RRM measurement activities for a long time.

[0122] Furthermore, in other related technologies, the primary receiver in the terminal performs all RRM measurement activities.

[0123] The main receiver in the terminal performs all RRM measurements, which results in high energy consumption of the terminal, causing the main receiver of the terminal to be unable to enter or remain in a deep sleep state, a power-off state, or an airplane mode for a long time.

[0124] In order to reduce the energy consumption of a terminal and extend the standby time of the terminal, the present application provides a cell measurement method. In this method, a low-power wake-up receiver is used to receive and measure a reference signal of a serving cell to obtain a first signal quality. Based on the first signal quality and a signal quality threshold, it is determined whether a primary receiver performs cell measurement or not. This enables the low-power wake-up receiver to perform partial RRM measurements, thereby reducing the RRM measurement activities performed by the primary receiver, extending the standby time of the primary receiver of the terminal, and thus reducing the energy consumption of the terminal.

[0125] The following specific embodiments describe in detail the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0126] FIG1 is a flow chart of a cell measurement method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG1 , the method includes:

[0127] S101: A terminal receives and measures a reference signal of a serving cell through a low power-wakeup receiver (LP-WUP) to obtain a first signal quality.

[0128] The reference signal of the serving cell is a reference signal sent by a network-side device corresponding to the serving cell.

[0129] The first signal quality may also be referred to as a serving cell measurement result, or a serving cell measurement result, etc.

[0130] Optionally, the first signal quality may include a first reference signal received power (Reference Signal Receiving Power, RSRP) value and / or a first reference signal received quality (Reference Signal Receiving Quality, RSRQ) value.

[0131] S102: The terminal determines whether a master receiver (MR) performs cell measurement or not performs cell measurement according to the first signal quality and a signal quality threshold.

[0132] Optionally, when executing S102, the method provided in the present application may further include: receiving a signal quality threshold configured by a network-side device, and storing the signal quality threshold.

[0133] Optionally, the signal quality threshold may be carried in system information.

[0134] A cell measurement method provided in an embodiment of the present application uses a low-power wake-up receiver to receive and measure a serving cell's reference signal to obtain a first signal quality. This eliminates the need for a primary receiver to perform RRM measurements, thereby reducing terminal energy consumption and extending the terminal's standby time. Furthermore, based on the first signal quality and a signal quality threshold, the primary receiver is determined to perform or not perform cell measurements, thereby reducing the number of RRM measurements performed by the primary receiver, further reducing terminal energy consumption, and extending the terminal's standby time.

[0135] In this application, cell measurement includes one or more of the following:

[0136] Measurement of serving cells;

[0137] Same-frequency adjacent cell measurement;

[0138] Inter-frequency neighboring cell measurement corresponding to the first inter-frequency point;

[0139] Inter-frequency neighboring cell measurement corresponding to the second inter-frequency point;

[0140] The inter-frequency neighboring area measurement corresponding to the third inter-frequency point.

[0141] The co-frequency neighboring cell measurement refers to receiving and measuring the reference signal of the co-frequency neighboring cell of the serving cell. The co-frequency neighboring cell of the serving cell is adjacent to the serving cell and has the same frequency as the serving cell.

[0142] Inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement refers to receiving and measuring reference signals of inter-frequency neighbor cells of the serving cell. The inter-frequency neighbor cells of the serving cell are adjacent to the serving cell and have different frequencies from the serving cell.

[0143] In this application, the first inter-frequency frequency point is an inter-frequency frequency point with a priority greater than the priority of the frequency point of the serving cell among all inter-frequency frequency points; the second inter-frequency frequency point is an inter-frequency frequency point with a priority less than or equal to the priority of the frequency point of the serving cell among all inter-frequency frequency points; and the third inter-frequency frequency point is all inter-frequency frequency points. All inter-frequency frequency points are inter-frequency frequency points configured by the network side device for the terminal.

[0144] In some embodiments, the signal quality threshold includes a fourth threshold; waking up the receiver through low power consumption, receiving and measuring the reference signal of the serving cell, and obtaining the first signal quality, including: receiving and measuring the reference signal of the serving cell through the main receiver, and obtaining the second signal quality; when the second signal quality is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold, waking up the receiver through low power consumption, receiving and measuring the reference signal of the serving cell, and obtaining the first signal quality.

[0145] The second signal quality includes a second RSRP value and / or a second RSRQ value.

[0146] Optionally, the fourth threshold includes: a fourth RSRP threshold and / or a fourth RSRQ threshold.

[0147] For example, when the second signal quality is the second RSRP value, the fourth threshold may be a fourth RSRP threshold.

[0148] For example, when the second signal quality is the second RSRQ value, the fourth threshold may be a fourth RSRQ threshold.

[0149] In the embodiment of the present application, S102 can be implemented in the following two ways (way 1 and way 2).

[0150] Mode 1: The signal quality threshold includes a first threshold and / or a second threshold; S102 specifically includes:

[0151] If the first signal quality is less than (or less than or equal to) the first threshold, determining that the primary receiver performs the same-frequency neighboring cell measurement; otherwise, determining that the primary receiver does not perform the same-frequency neighboring cell measurement;

[0152] and / or,

[0153] If the first signal quality is less than (or less than or equal to) the second threshold, it is determined that the main receiver performs the inter-frequency neighboring area measurement corresponding to the third inter-frequency frequency point; otherwise, it is determined that the main receiver does not perform the inter-frequency neighboring area measurement corresponding to the third inter-frequency frequency point, or determines that the main receiver performs the inter-frequency neighboring area measurement corresponding to the first inter-frequency frequency point.

[0154] Optionally, when the first signal quality is greater than or equal to (or greater than) a first threshold, it is determined that the primary receiver does not perform same-frequency neighboring cell measurement, but performs inter-frequency neighboring cell measurement corresponding to the first inter-frequency point.

[0155] Optionally, the first threshold includes: a first RSRP threshold and / or a first RSRQ threshold.

[0156] Optionally, the second threshold includes: a second RSRP threshold and / or a second RSRQ threshold.

[0157] For example, when the first signal quality is a first RSRP value, the first threshold may be a first RSRP threshold, and the second threshold may be a second RSRP threshold.

[0158] For example, when the first signal quality is a first RSRQ value, the first threshold may be a first RSRQ threshold, and the second threshold may be a second RSRQ threshold.

[0159] For example, when the first signal quality includes a first RSRP value and a first RSRQ value, the first threshold includes a first RSRQ threshold and a first RSRQ threshold, and the second threshold may include a second RSRP threshold and a second RSRQ threshold.

[0160] Optionally, when the terminal is in the first state, the receiver is woken up through low power consumption to receive and measure the reference signal of the serving cell to obtain a first signal quality. If the first signal quality is less than (or less than or equal to) a first threshold, the main receiver is determined to perform same-frequency neighboring area measurement; otherwise, the main receiver is determined not to perform same-frequency neighboring area measurement; and / or, if the first signal quality is less than (or less than or equal to) a second threshold, the main receiver is determined to perform inter-frequency neighboring area measurement corresponding to a third inter-frequency frequency point; otherwise, the main receiver is determined to perform inter-frequency neighboring area measurement corresponding to the first inter-frequency frequency point.

[0161] Optionally, when the terminal is in the second state, the receiver is woken up through low power consumption to receive and measure the reference signal of the serving cell to obtain a first signal quality. If the first signal quality is less than (or less than or equal to) a first threshold, the main receiver is determined to perform same-frequency neighboring area measurement; otherwise, the main receiver is determined not to perform same-frequency neighboring area measurement; and / or, if the first signal quality is less than (or less than or equal to) a second threshold, the main receiver is determined to perform inter-frequency neighboring area measurement corresponding to a third inter-frequency frequency point; otherwise, the main receiver is determined not to perform inter-frequency neighboring area measurement corresponding to the third inter-frequency frequency point.

[0162] When the terminal is in the first state, the primary receiver is in a deep sleep state, and the primary receiver does not perform any data transmission and non-high priority RRM measurement.

[0163] When the terminal is in the second state, the primary receiver is in a deep sleep state, and the primary receiver does not perform any data transmission or any RRM measurement.

[0164] In method 1, if the first signal quality is less than (or less than or equal to) the first threshold, the main receiver is determined to perform the same-frequency neighboring area measurement; otherwise, the main receiver is determined not to perform the same-frequency neighboring area measurement. When the signal quality of the serving cell is poor, only the main receiver is determined to perform the same-frequency neighboring area measurement. When the signal quality of the serving cell is good, only the main receiver is determined not to perform the same-frequency neighboring area measurement. This can avoid the main receiver from performing all RRM measurements, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the terminal and extending the standby time of the terminal.

[0165] In mode 1, if the first signal quality is less than (or less than or equal to) the second threshold, the primary receiver is determined to perform inter-frequency neighbor cell measurements corresponding to the third inter-frequency point; otherwise, the primary receiver is determined not to perform inter-frequency neighbor cell measurements corresponding to the third inter-frequency point (i.e., perform all RRM measurements), or the primary receiver is determined to perform inter-frequency neighbor cell measurements corresponding to the first inter-frequency point (i.e., perform high-priority RRM measurements). When the signal quality of the serving cell is poor, the primary receiver is determined to perform inter-frequency neighbor cell measurements corresponding to all inter-frequency points, and when the signal quality of the serving cell is good, the primary receiver is determined not to perform all RRM measurements or is determined to perform high-priority RRM measurements. This can avoid the primary receiver from performing all RRM measurements, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the terminal and extending the standby time of the terminal.

[0166] Mode 2: The signal quality threshold includes: a third threshold; S102 specifically includes:

[0167] If the first signal quality is less than (or less than or equal to) the third threshold, it is determined that the main receiver performs measurement of the service cell; otherwise, it is determined that the main receiver performs inter-frequency neighboring area measurement corresponding to the first inter-frequency frequency point, or it is determined that the main receiver does not perform inter-frequency neighboring area measurement corresponding to the third inter-frequency frequency point.

[0168] Optionally, when the first signal quality is less than (or less than or equal to) a third threshold, it may also be determined that the primary receiver performs inter-frequency neighboring area measurement and serving cell measurement corresponding to the first inter-frequency frequency point.

[0169] Optionally, the third threshold includes: a third RSRP threshold and / or a third RSRQ threshold.

[0170] For example, when the first signal quality is the first RSRP value, the third threshold may be a third RSRP threshold.

[0171] For example, when the first signal quality is a first RSRQ value, the third threshold may be a third RSRQ threshold.

[0172] Optionally, if the first signal quality is less than (or less than or equal to) a third threshold, the low-power wake-up receiver is stopped from receiving the reference signal.

[0173] Optionally, if the first signal quality is less than (or less than or equal to) a third threshold, the low power consumption wake-up receiver stops measuring the serving cell.

[0174] In this application, measuring the serving cell means measuring the reference signal of the serving cell.

[0175] Optionally, when the terminal is in the first state, the receiver is woken up through low power consumption, and the reference signal of the service cell is received and measured to obtain the first signal quality. If the first signal quality is less than (or less than or equal to) the third threshold, the main receiver is determined to perform the measurement of the service cell; otherwise, the main receiver is determined to perform the inter-frequency neighboring area measurement corresponding to the first inter-frequency point.

[0176] Optionally, when the terminal is in the second state, the receiver is woken up through low power consumption, and the reference signal of the service cell is received and measured to obtain the first signal quality. If the first signal quality is less than (or less than or equal to) the third threshold, the main receiver is determined to perform the measurement of the service cell; otherwise, it is determined that the main receiver does not perform the inter-frequency neighboring area measurement corresponding to the third inter-frequency point.

[0177] Optionally, in the above-described method 1 and method 2, if the network-side device is not configured with the fourth threshold, the third threshold may be used to determine whether the terminal is in the first state. Specifically, the primary receiver receives and measures the reference signal of the serving cell to obtain a second signal quality; when the second signal quality is greater than or equal to the third threshold, the terminal is determined to be in the first state.

[0178] Optionally, in the above-described method 1 and method 2, when the network-side device is configured with a fourth threshold, the fourth threshold may be used to determine whether the terminal is in the first state. Specifically, the primary receiver receives and measures a reference signal of the serving cell to obtain a second signal quality; when the second signal quality is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold, the terminal is determined to be in the first state.

[0179] In mode 2, if the first signal quality is less than (or less than or equal to) the third threshold, the primary receiver is determined to perform measurements of the serving cell; otherwise, the primary receiver is determined to perform inter-frequency neighbor cell measurements corresponding to the first inter-frequency point, or the primary receiver is determined not to perform inter-frequency neighbor cell measurements corresponding to the third inter-frequency point. When the signal quality of the serving cell is poor, the primary receiver is determined to perform RRM measurements of the serving cell. When the signal quality of the serving cell is good, the primary receiver is determined to perform only high-priority RRM measurements or not to perform any RRM measurements. This avoids the primary receiver from performing all RRM measurements, thereby reducing terminal energy consumption and extending terminal standby time.
