Description

Mobility measurement method, terminal, network device, communication system and storage medium Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a mobility measurement method, a terminal, a network device, a communication system, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Network equipment can configure one or more measurement objects (MOs) for a terminal. An MO corresponds to measuring signals from neighboring cells and other carriers. The terminal typically performs mobility measurements for each MO configured by the network equipment and reports the measurement results to the network equipment. Based on the measurement results reported by the terminal, the network equipment can determine the terminal's current communication status and perform mobility management for the terminal.

[0003] Due to limitations in the terminal's software and / or hardware capabilities, the number of MOs that a terminal can measure concurrently is limited. Once the number of MOs configured for a terminal by the network device exceeds the number of MOs the terminal can measure concurrently, the terminal must perform measurements on each MO in a time-sharing manner, increasing the delay in the terminal reporting measurement results.

[0097] FIG2 is an interactive schematic diagram showing a mobility measurement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0098] As shown in Figure 2, the mobility measurement method includes:

[0099] Step S201: The terminal sends terminal capability information to a network device.

[0100] In some embodiments, the terminal capability information indicates that the terminal supports measurement enhancement capability. The measurement enhancement capability is a capability for reducing measurement time consumption; and / or, the measurement enhancement capability is a capability for shortening measurement result reporting delay; and / or, the measurement enhancement capability is a capability for eliminating the need to perform measurements on multiple configured measurement objects separately; and / or, the measurement enhancement capability is a capability for using measurement results of a portion of multiple measurement objects as measurement results of another portion of multiple measurement objects; and / or, the measurement enhancement capability is a capability for reducing the number of measurement samples required to perform measurements on another portion of multiple measurement objects after performing measurements on a portion of multiple measurement objects.

[0101] In some embodiments, the measurement objects configured by the network device for the terminal include SSB-based layer three (L3, also known as the network layer) measurement and / or Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS)-based L3 measurement. The measurement enhancement capability includes at least one of the following: a first capability; a second capability; and a third capability. The first capability enhances the SSB-based L3 measurement and the CSI-RS-based L3 measurement respectively. The second capability enhances the SSB-based L3 measurement, that is, limits the enhancement range to SSB based L3 measurement, and does not enhance the part involving CSI-RS based L3 measurement. The third capability enhances the SSB-based L3 measurement and the CSI-RS-based L3 measurement, that is, the enhancement range is not limited to SSB based L3 measurement.

[0102] In some embodiments, the network device receives the terminal capability information sent by the terminal.

[0103] In some embodiments, the network device determines, based on terminal capability information received from the terminal, that the terminal supports the measurement enhancement capability.

[0104] In some embodiments, the network device determines measurement configuration information to be sent to the terminal based on the terminal capability information.

[0105] In some embodiments, the network device calculates the corresponding delay requirement based on the terminal capability information and the measurement configuration information.

[0106] Step S202: The network device sends measurement configuration information to the terminal.

[0107] In some embodiments, the measurement configuration information is used to indicate that mobility measurements are performed on multiple measurement objects (MOs); and / or, the measurement configuration information is used to indicate multiple MOs configured by the network device for the terminal.

[0108] In some embodiments, one MO may be configured on one frequency point. Multiple MOs configured by the network device for a terminal may be configured on different frequencies or on the same frequency point.

[0109] In some embodiments, the frequency points of multiple MOs configured by the network device for the terminal may be in the same frequency band or may not be in the same frequency band.

[0110] In some embodiments, the multiple MOs configured by the network device for the terminal are within the FR2 frequency band. In some possible implementations, each of the multiple MOs configured by the network device for the terminal is within the FR2 frequency band. In some possible implementations, at least some of the multiple MOs configured by the network device for the terminal are within the FR2 frequency band.

[0111] In some embodiments, the terminal receives measurement configuration information sent by the network device.

[0112] Step S203: The terminal determines the delay requirement.

[0113] In some embodiments, the delay requirement includes at least one of the following: primary synchronization signal (PSS) detection delay requirement; secondary synchronization signal (SSS) detection delay requirement; synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal / PBCH Block, SSB) index acquisition delay requirement; measurement delay requirement.

[0114] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the delay requirements of multiple configured MOs based on the measurement configuration information.

[0115] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the CSSF of each configured MO according to the measurement configuration information; the terminal determines the delay requirement of each MO according to the carrier specific scaling factor (CSSF) of each MO.

[0116] In some embodiments, the CSSF includes at least one of the following: a CSSF outside the measurement interval; and a CSSF inside the measurement interval.

[0117] In some embodiments, the terminal determines, based on the measurement configuration information, a first type of MO among multiple configured MOs and a second type of MO among multiple configured MOs. The first type of MO may include one or more MOs. The second type of MO may include one or more MOs. The frequency point at which the second type of MO is located is in the same frequency band as the frequency point at which the first type of MO is located.

[0118] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the CSSF of the second type MO according to whether the frequency point where the second type MO is located is in the same frequency band as the component carrier (CC) where the first type MO is located.

[0119] In some embodiments, in response to the CC where the first type of MO is located being the primary carrier (Primary Carrier Component, PCC) and the frequency point where the second type of MO is located is in the same frequency band as the PCC, the CSSF of the second type of MO used for the secondary carrier (Secondary Carrier Component, SCC) that does not require neighboring area measurement does not exist; and / or, in response to the CC where the first type of MO is located being the primary secondary carrier (PSCC) and the frequency point where the second type of MO is located is in the same frequency band as the PSCC, the CSSF of the second type of MO used for the SCC that does not require neighboring area measurement does not exist; and / or, in response to the CC where the first type of MO is located being the SCC that requires neighboring area measurement and the frequency point where the second type of MO is located is in the same frequency band as the SCC that requires neighboring area measurement, the CSSF of the second type of MO used for the SCC that does not require neighboring area measurement does not exist.

[0120] In some embodiments, the network device may also determine the delay requirement based on the measurement configuration information. Specific implementations of the network device determining the delay requirement are described in the following embodiments and are not described here in detail.

[0121] Step S204: The terminal performs mobility measurement on the first type of measurement objects, and performs measurement enhancement on the second type of measurement objects.

[0122] In some embodiments, the terminal performs mobility measurement on the first type of MO to obtain a first measurement result, and performs enhanced measurement on the second type of MO to obtain a second measurement result.

[0123] In a possible implementation manner, the terminal does not perform mobility measurement on the second type MO, and uses the first measurement result as the second measurement result.

[0124] In a possible implementation manner, the terminal reduces the number of measurement samples required to perform mobility measurement on the second type MO, and performs mobility measurement on the second type MO according to the reduced number of measurement samples to obtain a second measurement result.

[0125] In some embodiments, the measurement enhancement capability supported by the terminal is a first capability, and the first type of MO includes a first MO configured with SSB-based L3 measurement and a second MO configured with CSI-RS-based L3 measurement.

[0126] In some embodiments, the measurement enhancement capability supported by the terminal is the second capability, and the first type of MO includes a third MO configured with SSB-based L3 measurement.

[0127] In some embodiments, the measurement enhancement capability supported by the terminal is the third capability, and the first type of MO includes the fourth MO configured with SSB-based L3 measurement or the fifth MO configured with CSI-RS-based L3 measurement.

[0128] Step S205: The terminal sends the measurement result to the network device.

[0129] In some embodiments, the measurement result sent by the terminal to the network device includes: a first measurement result, or a first measurement result and a second measurement result. When the network device does not include a second-type MO for measurement enhancement among multiple MOs configured for the terminal, the terminal performs mobility measurement on all of the configured MOs, and therefore the measurement result sent by the terminal to the network device includes only the first measurement result.

[0130] In some embodiments, the network device receives the measurement result sent by the terminal.

[0131] The communication method involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may include at least one of steps S201 to S205. For example, step S201 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, step S202 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, step S203 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, step S204 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, step S205 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, steps S202+S203 may be implemented as an independent embodiment, and steps S202+S204+S205 may be implemented as independent embodiments, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0132] In some embodiments, steps S203 and S204 may be executed in an interchanged order or simultaneously.

[0133] In some embodiments, step S201 is optional, and one or more of these steps may be omitted or replaced in different embodiments.

[0134] In some embodiments, step S203 is optional, and one or more of these steps may be omitted or replaced in different embodiments.

[0135] In some embodiments, reference may be made to other optional embodiments described before or after the description corresponding to FIG. 2 .

[0136] In some embodiments, the network device can configure one or more measurement objects (MOs) for the terminal. An MO corresponds to measuring signals from neighboring cells and other carriers. The terminal typically performs mobility measurements for each MO configured by the network device and reports the measurement results to the network device. Based on the measurement results reported by the terminal, the network device can determine the terminal's current communication status and perform mobility management for the terminal.

[0137] Affected by factors such as manufacturing cost and shape, the terminal can only operate at the same frequency at the same time, and the terminal can only perform measurements on the MO centered on the frequency at this moment. In some embodiments, when the terminal measures the neighboring cell signal with the same frequency as the current operating frequency, it can receive and / or send data in the serving cell at the same time. In some embodiments, when the terminal measures the heterofrequency neighboring cell signal or other communication system (such as 5G NR), it is necessary to suspend communication (TX / RX) with the serving cell and adjust the radio frequency (RF) module to configure the frequency, and restore the connection with the serving cell after a period of time. The time interval during which the terminal suspends communication with the serving cell to measure the heterofrequency neighboring cell or other wireless neighboring cell is called the measurement interval (MG).

[0138] It should be noted that the inter-frequency measurement involved in this disclosure can also be described as inter-frequency measurement, and this disclosure does not limit this. In some embodiments, the terms "component carrier (CC)", "cell", "frequency carrier", and "carrier frequency" can be used interchangeably.

[0139] Due to the limitations of the terminal's software and / or hardware capabilities, the number of MOs that a terminal can measure in parallel is limited. Once the number of MOs configured by the network device for a terminal exceeds the number of MOs that the terminal can measure in parallel, the terminal needs to perform measurements on each MO in a time-sharing manner. For each MO's measurement, time-sharing inevitably increases the time it takes the terminal to obtain the required measurement samples. This is reflected in the measurement indicators as a proportional extension of the latency requirements for each MO. In other words, the original latency requirement for a single MO is multiplied by a carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF).

[0140] In some embodiments, the delay requirement of MO#i can be calculated using the following formula: delay requirement = number of measurement samples required to perform measurement on MO#i*time required to obtain one measurement sample.

[0141] Among them, for multiple MOs that need to be measured based on MG, there may be multiple MOs competing for MG occasions. At this time, the terminal needs to determine the CSSF within the measurement interval of each MO (recorded as the CSSF of MO#i). within_gap,i ) to determine the corresponding measurement requirements, such as the measurement interval in the time domain. For multiple MOs that do not need to be measured based on the MG, there may be multiple MOs competing for the SSB Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC) opportunity. At this time, the terminal needs to determine the CSSF outside the measurement interval of each MO (denoted as the CSSF of MO#i). outside_gap,i ) to determine the corresponding measurement requirements.

[0142] In some embodiments, for MG-based measurements, from a time domain perspective, measurements can typically only be performed for one MO during a measurement gap occasion / instance. In this case, if the network device configures multiple MOs for MG-based measurements for the terminal, multiple measurement gaps are required to complete the measurements, resulting in a lengthy measurement process for multiple MOs.

[0143] In some embodiments, for measurements that do not require MG-based measurements, RAN4 introduces a searcher assumption in NR, assuming that the terminal's hardware and software resources support concurrent execution of up to two measurements that do not require MG-based measurements, denoted as searcher#1 and searcher#2. Searcher#1 is dedicated to neighbor cell measurements that do not require MG on the Primary Carrier Component (PCC) (if PCC is configured), or to neighbor cell measurements that do not require MG on the Primary Secondary Carrier Component (PSCC) (if no PCC is configured). Searcher#2 is evenly shared among other measurements that do not require MG, meaning that other measurements that do not require MG use searcher#2 in turn. For example, searcher#2 is used for neighbor cell measurements that do not require MG on the PSCC (if PCC is configured) and for neighbor cell measurements that do not require MG on the Secondary Carrier Component (SCC). In this case, if the network device configures multiple MOs for the terminal that need to be measured not based on the MG, and the number of configured MOs exceeds the number of search units supported by the terminal, the entire measurement process of the multiple MOs will take a long time.

[0144] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for measuring mobility. Figure 3 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a method for measuring mobility according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method for measuring mobility illustrated in this embodiment may be executed by a terminal.

[0145] As shown in FIG3 , the mobility measurement method may include the following steps:

[0146] In step S301, measurement configuration information sent by a network device is received, where the measurement configuration information includes multiple MOs.

[0147] In step S302, mobility measurement is performed on the first type of MO among the multiple MOs to obtain a first measurement result, and measurement enhancement is performed on the second type of MO among the multiple MOs to obtain a second measurement result, wherein the frequency point where the second type of MO is located is in the same frequency band as the frequency point where the first type of MO is located.

[0148] A frequency point can be a number assigned to a fixed frequency. For example, the operating frequency band is divided into multiple frequency bands according to fixed frequency intervals, and each frequency band is numbered. These numbers are frequency points. A frequency point can also be a frequency point in a frequency band.

[0149] In some embodiments, the terms "frequency point", "frequency point", "frequency", "frequency", "frequency band number", "frequency band number" and the like can be used interchangeably. The terms "frequency band", "frequency band", "frequency segment", "frequency range" and the like can be used interchangeably.

[0150] For example, the terminal receives measurement configuration information sent by the network device, and the measurement configuration information includes MO#1, MO#2 and MO#3, and these three MOs are configured at different frequency points; if the frequency points where MO#2 is located, the frequency points where MO#3 is located, and the frequency point where MO#1 is located are in the same frequency band, the terminal can perform mobility measurement on MO#1 to obtain a first measurement result, and perform measurement enhancement on MO#2 and MO#3 to obtain a second measurement result.

[0151] For another example, the terminal receives measurement configuration information sent by the network device, and the measurement configuration information includes MO#1, MO#2 and MO#3, and these three MOs are configured at different frequency points; if the frequency point where MO#3 is located is in the same frequency band as the frequency point where MO#1 is located, and the frequency point where MO#2 is located is not in the same frequency band as the frequency point where MO#1 is located, the terminal can perform mobility measurement on MO#1 and MO#2 respectively to obtain a first measurement result, and perform measurement enhancement on MO#3 to obtain a second measurement result.

[0152] In some embodiments, the multiple MOs configured by the network device for the terminal can be configured at different frequencies or at the same frequency.

[0153] In some embodiments, the frequency points of the multiple MOs configured by the network device for the terminal may be within the same frequency band or may not be within the same frequency band. It should be noted that different multiple frequency points may also be within the same frequency band. For example, the multiple frequency points corresponding to the multiple MOs may all be within the first frequency band, or at least two of the multiple frequency points corresponding to the multiple MOs may be within the first frequency band. The first frequency band may be, for example, the FR2 frequency band, but is not limited thereto. For example, it may also be a sub-band in the FR2 frequency band, the FR1 frequency band, a pre-configured frequency band, etc.

[0154] In some embodiments, since the terminal needs to perform measurements on multiple MOs configured by the network device in a time-sharing manner, the first category of MOs may include one or more MOs that have already performed mobility measurements among the multiple MOs configured by the network device for the terminal, and the second category of MOs may include one or more MOs that are to perform mobility measurements among the multiple MOs configured by the network device for the terminal. When the terminal starts to perform measurements on multiple configured MOs, it may first perform mobility measurements on any MO among the multiple MOs and determine this MO as a first category MO, or it may first perform mobility measurements on a MO with the highest frequency priority among the multiple MOs according to the configured frequency priority and determine this MO as a first category MO.

[0155] It should be noted that the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 can be implemented independently or in combination with at least one other embodiment in the present disclosure. The specific selection can be made as needed and the present disclosure does not limit it.

[0156] In a further embodiment, the terminal may send the first measurement result and the second measurement result to the network device. Optionally, the network device may receive the first measurement result and the second measurement result sent by the terminal.

[0157] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when a network device configures multiple MOs for a terminal, the terminal can perform mobility measurements on a first type of MO among the multiple MOs, and perform enhanced measurements on a second type of MO among the multiple MOs whose frequencies are in the same frequency band as the first type of MO. Accordingly, in the scenario of intra-band carrier aggregation (intra-band CA), the measurement time for the second type of MO can be shortened, thereby shortening the time taken to measure multiple MOs, reducing the delay in reporting measurement results, and helping to reduce latency requirements.

[0158] In some embodiments, said performing measurement enhancement on a second type of MO among the multiple MOs to obtain a second measurement result includes: not performing mobility measurement on the second type of MO, and using the first measurement result as the second measurement result.

[0159] For example, the terminal receives measurement configuration information sent by the network device, and the measurement configuration information includes MO#1, MO#2 and MO#3; if the frequency point where MO#2 is located, the frequency point where MO#3 is located and the frequency point where MO#1 is located are in the same frequency band, then the terminal can perform mobility measurement on MO#1 to obtain a first measurement result (that is, the measurement result of MO#1), and can use the measurement result of MO#1 as the second measurement result (that is, the measurement result of MO#1 as the measurement result of MO#2 and the measurement result of MO#3 respectively), without performing mobility measurement on MO#2 and MO#3.

[0160] In the above embodiment, when the network device configures multiple MOs for the terminal, since the terminal only needs to perform mobility measurements on the first type of MO among the multiple MOs, and uses the measurement results of the first type of MO to represent the measurement results of the second type of MO in the same frequency band, without having to perform mobility measurements on the second type of MO among the multiple MOs, the time spent on measuring the second type of MO can be omitted, thereby shortening the time spent on the entire measurement process for multiple MOs and reducing the delay in reporting measurement results, which is conducive to lowering latency requirements and improving measurement efficiency. In other words, only one MO is considered for the same frequency band, and other MOs on the same frequency band do not participate in the sharing of measurement opportunities.

[0161] In some embodiments, the measurement enhancement of the second type of MO among the multiple MOs to obtain a second measurement result includes: reducing the number of measurement samples required to perform mobility measurement on the second type of MO, and performing mobility measurement on the second type of MO according to the reduced number of measurement samples to obtain a second measurement result.

[0162] For example, the terminal receives measurement configuration information sent by the network device, and the measurement configuration information includes MO#1, MO#2 and MO#3; if the frequency point where MO#2 is located, the frequency point where MO#3 is located and the frequency point where MO#1 is located are in the same frequency band, the terminal can perform mobility measurement on MO#1 to obtain a first measurement result (that is, the measurement result of MO#1), and can reduce the number of measurement samples required to perform mobility measurement on MO#2 and MO#3 (for example, the number of measurement samples before reduction is N1, and the number of measurement samples after reduction is N2, and N2 is less than N1).

[0163] In the above embodiment, when the network device configures multiple MOs for the terminal, since the number of measurement samples required to perform mobility measurements on the second-class MO is reduced, the measurement time for the second-class MO can be shortened while the time required to obtain a measurement sample remains unchanged, thereby shortening the time required for the entire measurement process for multiple MOs and reducing the delay in reporting measurement results, which is conducive to lowering delay requirements and ensuring the reliability of measurement results while improving measurement efficiency. In other words, for multiple MOs that are still considered for configuration in the same frequency band, the multiple MOs all participate in the sharing of measurement opportunities, but since the number of measurement samples required to perform mobility measurements on the second-class MO is reduced, the measurement opportunities required to complete all measurements are also reduced.

[0164] In some embodiments, the frequencies of the multiple MOs are within the FR2 frequency band. In one possible implementation, the CCs where the first type of MOs are located include at least one of the following: a PCC; a PSCC; or one or more SCCs where neighbor cell measurement is required (FR2 SCC(s)). It should be noted that for the FR2 frequency band, the protocol distinguishes whether neighbor cell measurement is required for the FR2 SCC.

[0165] In the above embodiments, since the FR2 carriers of intra-band Carrier Aggregation (intra-band CA) / dual connection (DC) are generally co-located, the terminal usually uses the same RF front end to perform measurements on the PCC or PSCC and SCC(s).

[0166] In one possible implementation, on the same FR2 frequency band, only FR2PCC (if configured), FR2PSCC (if configured) or a certain SCC (if present) that requires neighboring cell measurement in FR2 can be measured, and the measurement of other CCs in the frequency band (intra-band) can be enhanced to reduce the measurement time of other CCs, thereby shortening the time of the entire measurement process of multiple configured MOs and reducing the delay in reporting measurement results. In other words, only one MO is considered for the same FR2 frequency band, and other MOs except this one MO on the frequency band do not participate in the sharing of measurement opportunities. Accordingly, for the CSSF on the frequency band, within_gap,i and / or CSSF outside_gap,i In the calculation of FR2 SCC, FR2 SCC where neighbor cell measurement is not required is not included.

[0167] In some embodiments, when a network device configures multiple MOs for a terminal, the CSSF for each MO can generally be determined separately, and the overall latency requirement for the measurement configuration information can be determined based on the CSSF for each MO. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, since the terminal performs measurement enhancement on a second-category MO among multiple MOs, that is, the terminal does not necessarily perform mobility measurements on the second-category MO according to the original number of measurement samples, the calculation method of the CSSF for the second-category MO also needs to be adjusted accordingly.

[0168] In this case, the method further includes: determining the CSSF of the second type MO according to whether the frequency point where the second type MO is located is in the same frequency band as the CC where the first type MO is located; and determining the delay requirement of the second type MO according to the CSSF of the second type MO.

[0169] The CSSF includes at least one of the following: CSSF outside the measurement interval (ie CSSF outside_gap,i ); CSSF within the measurement interval (also known as CSSF within_gap,i ).

[0170] The latency requirement includes at least one of the following: a primary synchronization signal (PSS) detection latency requirement; a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) detection latency requirement; a synchronization signal block (SSB) index acquisition latency requirement; and a measurement latency requirement. It should be noted that the TS38.133 protocol defines the above-mentioned latency requirements for connected neighbor cell measurements. For details not fully described in the embodiments of this disclosure, please refer to the relevant art.

[0171] In some embodiments, in response to the CC where the first type MO is located being a PCC and the frequency point where the second type MO is located is in the same frequency band as the PCC, the CSSF of the SCC where the second type MO is used and does not require neighboring cell measurement does not exist.

[0172] In some embodiments, in response to the CC where the first type MO is located being a PSCC and the frequency point where the second type MO is located being in the same frequency band as the PSCC, the CSSF of the SCC where the second type MO is used and does not require neighboring cell measurement does not exist.

[0173] In some embodiments, in response to the CC where the first type MO is located being an SCC requiring neighboring cell measurement and the frequency point where the second type MO is located is in the same frequency band as the SCC requiring neighboring cell measurement, the CSSF of the second type MO for the SCC that does not require neighboring cell measurement does not exist.

[0174] In one possible implementation, in the Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access-New Air Interface Dual Connection (EUTRA-NR Dual Connection, EN-DC) scenario, in response to the CC where the first type of MO is located being a PSCC and the frequency point where the second type of MO is located is in the same frequency band as the PSCC, or the CC where the first type of MO is located is an SCC that requires neighboring area measurement and the frequency point where the second type of MO is located is in the same frequency band as the SCC that requires neighboring area measurement, the CSSF of the second type of MO used for the SCC that does not require neighboring area measurement does not exist.

[0175] In one possible implementation, in a standalone (SA) scenario, in response to the CC where the first type of MO is located being a PCC and the frequency point where the second type of MO is located is in the same frequency band as the PCC, or the CC where the first type of MO is located is an SCC that requires neighboring area measurement and the frequency point where the second type of MO is located is in the same frequency band as the SCC that requires neighboring area measurement, the CSSF of the second type of MO used for the SCC that does not require neighboring area measurement does not exist.

[0176] In one possible implementation, in a new air interface dual connection (NR-NR Dual Connection, NR-DC) scenario, in response to the CC where the first type MO is located being a PSCC and the frequency point where the second type MO is located is in the same frequency band as the PSCC, or the CC where the first type MO is located is an SCC requiring neighboring area measurement and the frequency point where the second type MO is located is in the same frequency band as the SCC requiring neighboring area measurement, the CSSF of the second type MO for the SCC that does not require neighboring area measurement does not exist.

[0177] In one possible implementation, in the New Radio - Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Dual Connection (NR-EUTRA Dual Connection, NE-DC) scenario, in response to the fact that the CC where the first type of MO is located is a PCC and the frequency point where the second type of MO is located is in the same frequency band as the PCC, or the CC where the first type of MO is located is an SCC that requires neighboring area measurement and the frequency point where the second type of MO is located is in the same frequency band as the SCC that requires neighboring area measurement, the CSSF of the second type of MO for the SCC that does not require neighboring area measurement does not exist.

[0178] It should be noted that the “CSSF does not exist” involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may also be described as “the CSSF value is N / A”.

[0179] In some embodiments, before step S301, the method further includes: sending terminal capability information to the network device, wherein the terminal capability information indicates that the terminal supports the measurement enhancement capability. Optionally, the network device may receive the terminal capability information sent by the terminal. In a further embodiment, the network device may determine measurement configuration information to be sent to the terminal based on the terminal's support for the measurement enhancement capability. In a further embodiment, the network device may determine the CSSF of each MO based on the determined measurement configuration information, and may determine the latency requirement of each MO based on the CSSF of each MO.

[0180] In some embodiments, the multiple MOs include at least one of the following: layer three (L3, also known as network layer) measurement based on SSB; L3 measurement based on channel state information reference signal (Channel State Information-Reference Signal, CSI-RS).

[0181] In one possible implementation, the measurement enhancement capability supported by the terminal is a first capability, which enhances SSB-based L3 measurement and CSI-RS-based L3 measurement respectively; the first type of MO includes a first MO configured with SSB-based L3 measurement and a second MO configured with CSI-RS-based L3 measurement.

[0182] In the above implementation, if the SSB based L3 measurement and CSI-RS based L3 measurement are enhanced respectively, for one FR2band, the terminal only considers measuring one MO configured with SSB-based L3 measurement and one MO configured with CSI-RS-based L3 measurement, a total of 2 MOs. On this FR2band, other MOs (whether SSB based or CSI-RS based) except these two MOs do not participate in the sharing of measurement opportunities.

[0183] In one possible implementation, the measurement enhancement capability supported by the terminal is a second capability, and the second capability enhances SSB-based L3 measurement; the first type of MO includes a third MO configured with SSB-based L3 measurement.

[0184] In the above implementation, if the enhancement scope is limited to SSB-based L3 measurement, then for one FR2 band, the terminal only considers measuring one MO configured with SSB-based L3 measurement, for a total of one MO. Other SSB-based MOs on this FR2 band do not participate in measurement opportunity sharing. In this case, the part involving CSI-RS-based L3 measurement is not modified.

[0185] In one possible implementation, the measurement enhancement capability supported by the terminal is the third capability, and the third capability enhances the SSB-based L3 measurement and the CSI-RS-based L3 measurement; the first type of MO includes a fourth MO configured with SSB-based L3 measurement or a fifth MO configured with CSI-RS-based L3 measurement.

[0186] In the above implementation, if the enhancement range is not limited to SSB based L3 measurement, for one FR2band, the terminal only considers measuring one MO configured with SSB-based L3 measurement or one MO configured with CSI-RS-based L3 measurement, a total of 1 MO. On this FR2band, other MOs (whether SSB based or CSI-RS based) except this one MO do not participate in the sharing of measurement opportunities.

[0249] In a second aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a mobility measurement method. Figure 4 is a schematic flow chart illustrating another mobility measurement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The mobility measurement method illustrated in this embodiment may be executed by a network device.

[0250] As shown in FIG4 , the mobility measurement method may include the following steps:

[0251] In step S401, measurement configuration information is sent to the terminal, where the measurement configuration information includes multiple MOs.

[0252] In step S402, a first measurement result and a second measurement result sent by the terminal are received, wherein the first measurement result is obtained by the terminal performing mobility measurement on the first type of MO among the multiple MOs, and the second measurement result is obtained by the terminal performing measurement enhancement on the second type of MO among the multiple MOs, wherein the frequency point where the second type of MO is located is in the same frequency band as the frequency point where the first type of MO is located.

[0253] For example, the network device sends measurement configuration information to the terminal, and the measurement configuration information includes MO#1, MO#2 and MO#3, and these three MOs are configured at different frequency points; further, the network device can receive the first measurement result and the second measurement result sent by the terminal; wherein, if the frequency point where MO#2 is located, the frequency point where MO#3 is located and the frequency point where MO#1 is located are in the same frequency band, then the first measurement result is obtained by the terminal performing mobility measurement on MO#1, and the second measurement result is obtained by the terminal performing measurement enhancement on MO#2 and MO#3.

[0254] For another example, the network device sends measurement configuration information to the terminal, and the measurement configuration information includes MO#1, MO#2 and MO#3, and these three MOs are configured at different frequency points; further, the network device can receive the first measurement result and the second measurement result sent by the terminal; wherein, if the frequency point where MO#3 is located is in the same frequency band as the frequency point where MO#1 is located, and the frequency point where MO#2 is located is not in the same frequency band as the frequency point where MO#1 is located, then the first measurement result is obtained by the terminal performing mobility measurements on MO#1 and MO#2 respectively, and the second measurement result is obtained by the terminal performing enhanced measurement on MO#3.

[0255] It should be noted that the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 can be implemented independently or in combination with at least one other embodiment in the present disclosure. The specific selection can be made as needed and the present disclosure does not limit it.

[0256] Optionally, the terminal may receive measurement configuration information sent by the network device. In a further embodiment, the terminal may perform mobility measurement on a first type of MO among the multiple MOs to obtain a first measurement result, and perform measurement enhancement on a second type of MO among the multiple MOs to obtain a second measurement result. In a further embodiment, the terminal may send the first measurement result and the second measurement result to the network device.

[0257] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when a network device configures multiple MOs for a terminal, the network device can receive a first measurement result and a second measurement result sent by the terminal, wherein the first measurement result is obtained by the terminal performing mobility measurement on a first type of MO among the multiple MOs, and the second measurement result is obtained by the terminal performing enhanced measurement on a second type of MO among the multiple MOs, the frequency point of which is in the same frequency band as the frequency point of the first type of MO. Accordingly, in the scenario of intra-band carrier aggregation, the measurement time of the second type of MO can be shortened, thereby shortening the time of the entire measurement process of multiple MOs, reducing the delay in reporting the measurement results, and helping to reduce the delay requirements.

[0258] In some embodiments, the terminal is expected not to perform mobility measurement on the second type MO and to use the first measurement result as the second measurement result.

[0259] In the above embodiment, when the network device configures multiple MOs for the terminal, since the terminal only needs to perform mobility measurements on the first type of MO among the multiple MOs, and uses the measurement results of the first type of MO to represent the measurement results of the second type of MO in the same frequency band, without having to perform mobility measurements on the second type of MO among the multiple MOs, the time spent on measuring the second type of MO can be omitted, thereby shortening the time spent on the entire measurement process for multiple MOs and reducing the delay in reporting measurement results, which is conducive to lowering latency requirements and improving measurement efficiency. In other words, only one MO is considered for the same frequency band, and other MOs on the same frequency band do not participate in the sharing of measurement opportunities.

[0260] In some embodiments, the terminal is expected to reduce the number of measurement samples required to perform mobility measurement on the second type MO, and perform mobility measurement on the second type MO according to the reduced number of measurement samples to obtain a second measurement result.

[0261] In the above embodiment, when the network device configures multiple MOs for the terminal, since the number of measurement samples required to perform mobility measurements on the second-class MO is reduced, the measurement time for the second-class MO can be shortened while the time required to obtain a measurement sample remains unchanged, thereby shortening the time required for the entire measurement process for multiple MOs and reducing the delay in reporting measurement results, which is conducive to lowering delay requirements and ensuring the reliability of measurement results while improving measurement efficiency. In other words, for multiple MOs that are still considered for configuration in the same frequency band, the multiple MOs all participate in the sharing of measurement opportunities, but since the number of measurement samples required to perform mobility measurements on the second-class MO is reduced, the measurement opportunities required to complete all measurements are also reduced.

[0262] In some embodiments, the frequencies of the multiple MOs are within the FR2 frequency band. In one possible implementation, the CCs where the first type of MOs are located include at least one of the following: a PCC; a PSCC; or one or more SCCs where neighbor cell measurement is required (FR2 SCC(s)). It should be noted that for the FR2 frequency band, the protocol distinguishes whether neighbor cell measurement is required for the FR2 SCC.

[0263] In the above embodiments, since the FR2 carriers of intra-band Carrier Aggregation (intra-band CA) / dual connection (DC) are generally co-located, the terminal usually uses the same RF front end to perform measurements on the PCC or PSCC and SCC(s).

[0264] In one possible implementation, on the same FR2 band, only FR2PCC (if configured), FR2PSCC (if configured) or a SCC (if present) that requires neighboring cell measurement in FR2 can be measured, and the measurement of other CCs in the intra-band can be enhanced to reduce the measurement time of other CCs, thereby shortening the measurement time of the entire measurement process of multiple configured MOs and reducing the delay in reporting the measurement results. In other words, only one MO is considered for the same FR2 band, and other MOs except this one MO on the band do not participate in the sharing of measurement opportunities. Accordingly, for the CSSF on the band, within_gap,i and / or CSSF outside_gap,i In the calculation of FR2 SCC, FR2 SCC where neighbor cell measurement is not required is not included.

[0265] In some embodiments, when a network device configures multiple MOs for a terminal, the CSSF for each MO can generally be determined separately, and the overall latency requirement for the measurement configuration information can be determined based on the CSSF for each MO. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, since the terminal performs measurement enhancement on a second-category MO among multiple MOs, that is, the terminal does not necessarily perform mobility measurements on the second-category MO according to the original number of measurement samples, the calculation method of the CSSF for the second-category MO also needs to be adjusted accordingly.

[0266] In this case, the method further includes: determining the CSSF of the second type MO according to whether the frequency point where the second type MO is located is in the same frequency band as the CC where the first type MO is located; and determining the delay requirement of the second type MO according to the CSSF of the second type MO.

[0267] The CSSF includes at least one of the following: CSSF outside the measurement interval (ie CSSF outside_gap,i ); CSSF within the measurement interval (also known as CSSF within_gap,i ).

[0268] Among them, the delay requirement includes at least one of the following: PSS detection delay requirement; SSS detection delay requirement; SSB index acquisition delay requirement; measurement delay requirement.

[0269] In some embodiments, in response to the CC where the first type MO is located being a PCC and the frequency point where the second type MO is located is in the same frequency band as the PCC, the CSSF of the SCC where the second type MO is used and does not require neighboring cell measurement does not exist.

[0270] In some embodiments, in response to the CC where the first type MO is located being a PSCC and the frequency point where the second type MO is located being in the same frequency band as the PSCC, the CSSF of the SCC where the second type MO is used and does not require neighboring cell measurement does not exist.

[0271] In some embodiments, in response to the CC where the first type MO is located being an SCC requiring neighboring cell measurement and the frequency point where the second type MO is located is in the same frequency band as the SCC requiring neighboring cell measurement, the CSSF of the second type MO for the SCC that does not require neighboring cell measurement does not exist.

[0272] In one possible implementation, in the EN-DC scenario, in response to the CC where the first type MO is located being a PSCC and the frequency point where the second type MO is located is in the same frequency band as the PSCC, or the CC where the first type MO is located is an SCC that requires neighboring area measurement and the frequency point where the second type MO is located is in the same frequency band as the SCC that requires neighboring area measurement, the CSSF of the second type MO used for the SCC that does not require neighboring area measurement does not exist.

[0273] In one possible implementation, in the SA scenario, in response to the CC where the first type of MO is located being a PCC and the frequency point where the second type of MO is located is in the same frequency band as the PCC, or the CC where the first type of MO is located is an SCC that requires neighboring area measurement and the frequency point where the second type of MO is located is in the same frequency band as the SCC that requires neighboring area measurement, the CSSF of the second type of MO used for the SCC that does not require neighboring area measurement does not exist.

[0274] In one possible implementation, in the NR-DC scenario, in response to the CC where the first type of MO is located being a PSCC and the frequency point where the second type of MO is located is in the same frequency band as the PSCC, or the CC where the first type of MO is located is an SCC requiring neighboring area measurement and the frequency point where the second type of MO is located is in the same frequency band as the SCC requiring neighboring area measurement, the CSSF of the second type of MO for the SCC that does not require neighboring area measurement does not exist.

[0275] In one possible implementation, in the NE-DC scenario, in response to the CC where the first type of MO is located being a PCC and the frequency point where the second type of MO is located is in the same frequency band as the PCC, or the CC where the first type of MO is located is an SCC that requires neighboring cell measurement and the frequency point where the second type of MO is located is in the same frequency band as the SCC that requires neighboring cell measurement, the CSSF of the second type of MO used for the SCC that does not require neighboring cell measurement does not exist.

[0276] It should be noted that the “CSSF does not exist” involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may also be described as “the CSSF value is N / A”.

[0277] Optionally, the terminal sends terminal capability information to the network device, where the terminal capability information indicates that the terminal supports measurement enhancement capability.

[0278] In some embodiments, before step S401, the method further includes: receiving terminal capability information sent by the terminal, where the terminal capability information indicates that the terminal supports measurement enhancement capability.

[0279] In some embodiments, the network device may determine measurement configuration information to be sent to the terminal according to the terminal's support for measurement enhancement capability.

[0280] In a further embodiment, the network device may determine the CSSF of each MO according to the determined measurement configuration information, and may determine the delay requirement of each MO according to the CSSF of each MO.

[0281] In some embodiments, the multiple MOs include at least one of the following: layer three (L3, also known as network layer) measurement based on SSB; L3 measurement based on CSI-RS.

[0282] In one possible implementation, the measurement enhancement capability supported by the terminal is a first capability, which enhances SSB-based L3 measurement and CSI-RS-based L3 measurement respectively; the first type of MO includes a first MO configured with SSB-based L3 measurement and a second MO configured with CSI-RS-based L3 measurement.

[0283] In the above implementation, if the SSB-based L3 measurement and the CSI-RS-based L3 measurement are enhanced respectively, then for one FR2 band, the terminal only considers measuring one MO configured with SSB-based L3 measurement and one MO configured with CSI-RS-based L3 measurement, a total of two MOs. On this FR2 band, other MOs (whether SSB-based or CSI-RS-based) except these two MOs do not participate in the sharing of measurement opportunities.

[0284] In one possible implementation, the measurement enhancement capability supported by the terminal is a second capability, and the second capability enhances SSB-based L3 measurement; the first type of MO includes a third MO configured with SSB-based L3 measurement.

[0285] In the above implementation, if the enhancement scope is limited to SSB-based L3 measurement, then for one FR2 band, the terminal only considers measuring one MO configured with SSB-based L3 measurement, for a total of one MO. Other SSB-based MOs on this FR2 band do not participate in measurement opportunity sharing. In this case, the part involving CSI-RS-based L3 measurement is not modified.

[0286] In one possible implementation, the measurement enhancement capability supported by the terminal is the third capability, and the third capability enhances the SSB-based L3 measurement and the CSI-RS-based L3 measurement; the first type of MO includes a fourth MO configured with SSB-based L3 measurement or a fifth MO configured with CSI-RS-based L3 measurement.

[0287] In the above implementation, if the enhancement range is not limited to SSB based L3 measurement, for one FR2band, the terminal only considers measuring one MO configured with SSB-based L3 measurement or one MO configured with CSI-RS-based L3 measurement, a total of 1 MO. On this FR2band, other MOs (whether SSB based or CSI-RS based) except this one MO do not participate in the sharing of measurement opportunities.
