[0002] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese patent application number 202410098756.8 filed on January 23, 2024, entitled “Conditional Reconfiguration Evaluation Method, Configuration Method, Device Terminal and Network Side Equipment,” and the entire contents of this Chinese patent application are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present application belongs to the field of communication technology, and specifically relates to a conditional reconfiguration evaluation method, a configuration method, a device terminal, and a network-side device. Background Art

[0004] Conditional Primary Secondary Cell Addition / Change (CPAC) includes: Conditional PSCell Addition (CPA) or Conditional PSCell Change (CPC).

[0005] Conditional primary and secondary cell addition involves the user equipment (UE) evaluating execution conditions and executing the addition only when the conditions are met. CPA configuration includes the configuration of CPA candidate cells and execution conditions. Execution conditions may include one or two trigger conditions.

[0006] A conditional primary / secondary cell change involves the UE evaluating execution conditions and executing the change only when the execution conditions are met. The UE begins evaluating the execution conditions after receiving the CPC configuration. The UE stops evaluating the execution conditions after the CPC change is triggered. The CPC configuration includes the CPC candidate cell configuration and the execution conditions. The execution conditions may include one or two triggering conditions. Upon successful completion of the CPC change procedure, the UE releases all stored CPC configurations.

[0007] CPC includes various scenarios, such as:

[0008] - Change of conditions of primary and secondary cells within the secondary node (Intra-SN CPC);

[0009] -MN initiated Inter-SN CPC;

[0010] - SN initiated Inter-SN CPC (SN initiated Inter-SN CPC).

[0011] The network configures CPAC to support continuous CPAC procedures for the UE without requiring network reconfiguration.

[0012] During consecutive CPAC processes, the conditional reconfiguration of candidate cells is retained. Therefore, each candidate cell's conditional reconfiguration may be associated with more than one execution condition. However, there is no specification for how to use the appropriate execution condition in the conditional reconfiguration evaluation, leading to confusion regarding the use of execution conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0074] The conditional reconfiguration evaluation method and configuration method provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to some embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0075] As shown in FIG2 , an embodiment of the present application provides a conditional reconfiguration evaluation method, including:

[0076] Step 201: When a conditional reconfiguration identifier (condReconfigId) is associated with a first execution condition and a second execution condition, the terminal determines a conditional reconfiguration evaluation operation according to the first condition or the second condition;

[0077] Wherein, when the first condition is met, the conditional reconfiguration evaluation operation includes at least one of the following:

[0078] evaluating the first execution condition;

[0079] Considering that the measurement identifier (MeasID) indicated by the first execution condition is an applicable measurement identifier;

[0080] Considering that the measurement identifier (MeasID) indicated by the second execution condition is an inapplicable measurement identifier;

[0081] Ignore the second execution condition;

[0082] Alternatively, when the second condition is met, the conditional reconfiguration evaluation operation includes at least one of the following:

[0083] evaluating the second execution condition;

[0084] Considering that the measurement identifier (MeasID) indicated by the second execution condition is an applicable measurement identifier;

[0085] Considering that the measurement identifier (MeasID) indicated by the first execution condition is an inapplicable measurement identifier;

[0086] The first execution condition is ignored.

[0087] It should be noted that conditional reconfiguration identifiers with the same value are the same conditional reconfiguration identifier, and the conditional reconfiguration identifier appears in two locations:

[0088] Position 1: The conditional reconfiguration identifier included in the conditional reconfiguration entry of the candidate cell.

[0089] Position 2: conditional reconfiguration identifiers in the continuous conditional reconfiguration included in the conditional reconfiguration entries corresponding to other candidate cells.

[0090] Optionally, the conditional reconfiguration identifier in step 201 of the present application is the conditional reconfiguration identifier included in the conditional reconfiguration entry of the candidate cell, that is, the conditional reconfiguration identifier in the above position one.

[0091] Alternatively, the present application does not limit the position of the conditional reconfiguration identifier in step 201, and the conditional reconfiguration identifier is only calibrated by a value. That is, no matter where it is, the same value is the same conditional reconfiguration identifier.

[0092] In one implementation, the “consider” mentioned in the embodiments of the present application may also be understood as “determine,” “expect,” “judge,” etc., without specific limitation.

[0093] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0094] The terminal is in the process of adding CPA to the conditional primary and secondary cells;

[0095] The terminal is in the process of MN initiated inter-SN CPC;

[0096] The terminal is in the process of adding or changing the CPAC of the primary and secondary cells in the initial condition;

[0097] The subsequent conditional reconfiguration (subsequentCondReconfig) was not applied;

[0098] The continuous CPAC process has not started;

[0099] The secondary cell group SCG is released;

[0100] SCG not added;

[0101] The terminal is in single connection state.

[0102] In another optional embodiment of the present application, the second condition includes at least one of the following:

[0103] The continuous CPAC process has begun, which can also be called the continuous CPAC process;

[0104] The subsequent conditional reconfiguration (subsequentCondReconfig) is applied;

[0105] After the initial CPAC execution;

[0106] SCG has been added;

[0107] The terminal is in dual-connection DC state;

[0108] The terminal is in the multi-frequency dual-connectivity MR-DC state.

[0109] In one implementation, before the terminal performs conditional reconfiguration evaluation, the terminal receives conditional reconfiguration information from the network. The conditional reconfiguration information includes a conditional reconfiguration identifier condReconfigId, a first execution condition, a second execution condition, and continuous conditional reconfiguration.

[0110] The first execution condition and the second execution condition are used to trigger the execution of the conditional reconfiguration (or the execution conditions of the conditional switch) after they are satisfied. The continuous conditional reconfiguration includes at least one conditional reconfiguration identifier and an execution condition associated with the conditional reconfiguration identifier.

[0111] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the CPAC process for continuous conditional reconfiguration may include an initial CPAC process and a continuous CPAC process. After the initial CPAC process is executed, the continuous CPAC process begins. The initial CPAC process is also referred to as the initial CPAC phase. The continuous CPAC process is also referred to as the continuous CPAC phase.

[0112] The initial CPAC includes: SN initiated inter-SN CPC (change of primary and secondary cell conditions between secondary nodes initiated by the secondary node), SN initiated intra-SN CPC with MN involvement (change of primary and secondary cell conditions between secondary nodes initiated by the secondary node with the participation of the primary node), CPA (primary and secondary cell addition) or MN initiated inter-SN CPC (change of primary and secondary cell conditions between secondary nodes initiated by the primary node).

[0113] The continuous CPAC includes at least one of the following: SN initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC (continuous primary and secondary cell condition changes between secondary nodes initiated by the secondary node), SN initiated intra-SN subsequent CPAC with MN involvement (continuous primary and secondary cell condition changes within the secondary node initiated by the secondary node with the participation of the primary node) or MN initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC (continuous primary and secondary cell condition changes between secondary nodes initiated by the primary node).

[0114] In at least one embodiment of the present application, the first execution condition includes at least one of the following:

[0115] ExecutionCond;

[0116] The execution conditions for CPA;

[0117] Used for the execution conditions of the MN initiated inter-SN CPC.

[0118] Among them, "execution condition condExecutionCond" can be understood as: the execution condition that needs to be met to trigger the execution of the following conditional reconfiguration, including CHO (conditional switching), CPA, intra-SN CPC without MN participation, MN-initiated inter-SN CPC or SN-initiated intra-SN continuous CPAC without MN intervention.

[0119] “Execution condition for CPA” can be understood as: the execution condition that needs to be fulfilled in order to trigger the execution of a conditional reconfiguration for CPA.

[0120] The “execution condition for MN initiated inter-SN CPC” can be understood as: the execution condition that needs to be fulfilled in order to trigger the execution of a conditional reconfiguration for MN initiated inter-SN CPC.

[0121] In another optional embodiment of the present application, the second execution condition includes at least one of the following:

[0122] SCG execution condition condExecutionCondSCG; for example, condExecutionCondSCG associated with the conditional reconfiguration identifier;

[0123] An execution condition associated with the conditional reconfiguration identifier in a continuous conditional reconfiguration;

[0124] subsequent execution condition;

[0125] Execution conditions for continuous CPAC process.

[0126] Among them, "SCG execution condition condExecutionCondSCG" can be understood as: the execution condition that needs to be fulfilled in order to trigger the execution of a conditional reconfiguration for SN initiated inter-SN CPC, SN initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC, SN initiated intra-SN subsequent CPAC with MN involvement, or MN initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC).

[0127] The “subsequent execution condition” can be understood as: when the RRC reconfiguration message contained in condRRCReconfig has been applied, the subsequent execution condition is used for conditional reconfiguration evaluation for other candidate cells (The subsequent execution condition is used for conditional reconfiguration evaluation for other candidate cells when the RRCReconfiguration message contained in condRRCReconfig has been applied).

[0128] “Execution condition for continuous CPAC process” can be understood as: the execution condition that needs to be fulfilled in order to trigger the execution of a conditional reconfiguration for SN initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC, SN initiated intra-SN subsequent CPAC with MN involvement, or MN initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC.

[0129] In one implementation, the first execution condition and the second execution condition are included in the master cell group MCG conditional reconfiguration information (MCG ConditionalReconfig). The terminal saves the first execution condition and the second execution condition in the master cell group MCG conditional reconfiguration variable (MCG VarConditionalReconfig).

[0130] In another implementation, the first execution condition and the second execution condition are configured to be associated with one of the conditional reconfiguration identifiers.

[0131] For example, for each conditional reconfiguration identifier condReconfigId, the network side may simultaneously configure the first execution condition condExecutionCond and the second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG for continuous CPAC.

[0132] In at least one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0133] According to the conditional reconfiguration evaluation operation, the terminal performs CPAC;

[0134] After CPAC execution or during a continuous CPAC process, the terminal retains the first execution condition of the candidate cell.

[0135] In the embodiment of the present application, by retaining the first execution condition of each candidate cell, when CPA is required to restore dual connectivity, as many candidate cells as possible participate in CPA, thereby improving conditional switching performance.

[0136] In another optional embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0137] According to the conditional reconfiguration evaluation operation, the terminal performs CPAC;

[0138] After the initial CPAC process is executed, the terminal deletes the first execution condition in the conditional reconfiguration corresponding to the current primary and secondary cells.

[0139] In the embodiment of the present application, by deleting the first execution condition in the conditional reconfiguration corresponding to the current primary and secondary cells, the purpose of releasing storage space can be achieved, and confusion caused by the association of multiple execution conditions can be avoided.

[0140] In at least one optional embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0141] The terminal receives a radio resource control RRC reconfiguration message; the RRC reconfiguration message includes a continuous conditional reconfiguration;

[0142] The terminal updates the second execution condition associated with the condition reconfiguration identifier according to the continuous execution condition associated with the condition reconfiguration identifier included in the continuous condition reconfiguration.

[0143] For example, when a terminal receives an RRC reconfiguration message including a continuous CPC configuration, the terminal stores the RRC reconfiguration in a variable VarConditionalReconfig, namely, MCG VarConditionalReconfig or SCG VarConditionalReconfig.

[0144] For each conditional reconfiguration identifier, after the terminal receives the RRC reconfiguration message, the continuous execution condition associated with the conditional reconfiguration identifier contained in the continuous conditional reconfiguration is used to update the condExecutionCondSCG contained in CondReconfigToAddMo associated with the conditional reconfiguration identifier (ie, update the second execution condition).

[0145] The continuous conditional reconfiguration is the continuous conditional reconfiguration included in the conditional reconfiguration corresponding to the primary and secondary cells PSCell (ie, the current primary and secondary cells or serving cell).

[0146] Furthermore, in the continuous CPAC stage, or in other words, after the continuous conditional reconfiguration included in the conditional reconfiguration corresponding to the primary and secondary cells (PSCells) is applied, the above execution condition update operation is performed.

[0147] The continuous CPAC phase refers to the CPAC process that includes continuous conditional reconfiguration. The CPAC process for continuous conditional reconfiguration may include an initial CPAC phase and a continuous CPAC phase. After the initial CPAC phase is executed, the continuous CPAC phase begins.

[0148] As an optional embodiment, the method further includes:

[0149] The terminal receives a first configuration message, where the first configuration message includes: first indication information indicating whether to continue the continuous CPAC process, or second indication information indicating whether to restart the CPAC process;

[0150] The terminal performs a conditional reconfiguration evaluation using the first execution condition or the second execution condition according to the first configuration message.

[0151] For example, when the first indication information indicates to continue the continuous CPAC process, or when the second indication information indicates not to restart the CPAC process, the terminal uses the second execution condition to perform the conditional reconfiguration evaluation;

[0152] or,

[0153] When the first indication information indicates not to continue the continuous CPAC process, or the second indication information indicates to restart the CPAC process, the terminal uses the first execution condition to perform conditional reconfiguration evaluation.

[0154] In summary, in the embodiments of the present application, different execution conditions are used according to the scenarios, and the second execution condition is used for evaluation during the continuous CPAC process; the first execution condition of the initial CPAC initiated by the retained master node is used as the CPA configuration and used after the secondary cell group is released, but the first execution condition cannot be used for continuous CPAC evaluation, avoiding confusion in the use of multiple execution conditions, while retaining as many CPAC configurations as possible to improve communication quality.

[0155] As shown in FIG3 , the embodiment of the present application further provides a configuration method, including:

[0156] Step 301: A network-side device configures a first execution condition and a second execution condition to be associated with a condition reconfiguration identifier.

[0157] It should be noted that the same conditional reconfiguration identifier has the same value and appears in two locations:

[0158] Position 1: The conditional reconfiguration identifier included in the conditional reconfiguration entry of the candidate cell.

[0159] Position 2: conditional reconfiguration identifiers in the continuous conditional reconfiguration included in the conditional reconfiguration entries corresponding to other candidate cells.

[0160] Optionally, the conditional reconfiguration identifier in step 301 of the present application is the conditional reconfiguration identifier included in the conditional reconfiguration entry of the candidate cell, that is, the conditional reconfiguration identifier in the above position one.

[0161] Alternatively, the present application does not limit the position of the conditional reconfiguration flag in step 301, and the conditional reconfiguration flag is only calibrated by a value, that is, no matter where it is, the same value is the same conditional reconfiguration flag.

[0162] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the first execution condition includes at least one of the following:

[0163] ExecutionCond;

[0164] The execution conditions for CPA;

[0165] The execution conditions for the change of primary and secondary cell conditions between secondary nodes initiated by the primary node.

[0167] “Execution condition for CPA” can be understood as: the execution condition that needs to be fulfilled in order to trigger the execution of a conditional reconfiguration for CPA.

[0168] The “execution condition for MN initiated inter-SN CPC” can be understood as: the execution condition that needs to be fulfilled in order to trigger the execution of a conditional reconfiguration for MN initiated inter-SN CPC.

[0175] The “subsequent execution condition” can be understood as: when the RRC reconfiguration message contained in condRRCReconfig has been applied, the subsequent execution condition is used for conditional reconfiguration evaluation for other candidate cells (The subsequent execution condition is used for conditional reconfiguration evaluation for other candidate cells when the RRCReconfiguration message contained in condRRCReconfig has been applied).

[0176] “Execution condition for continuous CPAC process” can be understood as: the execution condition that needs to be fulfilled in order to trigger the execution of a conditional reconfiguration for SN initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC, SN initiated intra-SN subsequent CPAC with MN involvement, or MN initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC.

[0177] In one implementation, the method further includes:

[0178] The network side device configures MCG conditional reconfiguration information (MCG ConditionalReconfig), wherein the MCG conditional reconfiguration information includes a first execution condition and a second execution condition. The terminal saves the first execution condition and the second execution condition in a primary cell group MCG conditional reconfiguration variable (MCG VarConditionalReconfig).

[0179] In at least one optional embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0180] The network side device sends a radio resource control RRC reconfiguration message to the terminal; the RRC reconfiguration message includes continuous conditional reconfiguration;

[0181] The continuous execution condition associated with the conditional reconfiguration identifier in the continuous conditional reconfiguration is used to update the second execution condition associated with the conditional reconfiguration identifier.

[0182] For example, the network side device sends an RRC reconfiguration message to the terminal, which includes a continuous CPC configuration. The terminal stores the RRC reconfiguration in a variable VarConditionalReconfig, namely MCG VarConditionalReconfig or SCG VarConditionalReconfig.

[0183] For each conditional reconfiguration identifier, after the terminal receives the RRC reconfiguration message, the continuous execution condition associated with the conditional reconfiguration identifier contained in the continuous conditional reconfiguration is used to update the condExecutionCondSCG contained in CondReconfigToAddMo associated with the conditional reconfiguration identifier (ie, update the second execution condition).

[0184] The continuous conditional reconfiguration is the continuous conditional reconfiguration included in the conditional reconfiguration corresponding to the primary and secondary cells PSCell (ie, the current primary and secondary cells or serving cell).

[0185] Furthermore, in the continuous CPAC stage, or in other words, after the continuous conditional reconfiguration included in the conditional reconfiguration corresponding to the primary and secondary cells (PSCells) is applied, the above execution condition update operation is performed.

[0186] The continuous CPAC phase refers to the CPAC process that includes continuous conditional reconfiguration. The CPAC process for continuous conditional reconfiguration may include an initial CPAC phase and a continuous CPAC phase. After the initial CPAC phase is executed, the continuous CPAC phase begins.

[0187] As an optional embodiment, the method further includes:

[0188] The network side device sends a first configuration message to the terminal, where the first configuration message includes: first indication information indicating whether the continuous CPAC process continues, or second indication information indicating whether to restart CPAC.

[0189] For example, when the first indication information indicates to continue the continuous CPAC process, or when the second indication information indicates not to restart the CPAC process, the terminal uses the second execution condition to perform the conditional reconfiguration evaluation;

[0190] or,

[0191] When the first indication information indicates not to continue the continuous CPAC process, or the second indication information indicates to restart the CPAC process, the terminal uses the first execution condition to perform conditional reconfiguration evaluation.

[0192] In summary, in the embodiments of the present application, different execution conditions are used according to the scenarios, and the second execution condition is used for evaluation during the continuous CPAC process; the first execution condition of the initial CPAC initiated by the retained master node is used as the CPA configuration and used after the secondary cell group is released, but the first execution condition cannot be used for continuous CPAC evaluation, avoiding confusion in the use of multiple execution conditions, while retaining as many CPAC configurations as possible to improve communication quality.

[0193] In order to more clearly describe the conditional reconfiguration evaluation method provided in the embodiment of the present application, two examples are provided below for illustration.

[0194] Example 1: The conditional configuration that can be used for CPA is retained in the continuous CPAC process. The initial process is CPA.

[0195] 1. The terminal (UE) is in a single connected state and receives an RRC reconfiguration message, which contains: the MN initiated CPA configuration and the continuous CPC configuration provided by the candidate cell.

[0196] The UE stores the RRC reconfiguration in the variable MCG VarConditionalReconfig.

[0197] The RRC reconfiguration includes at least one of the following conditional reconfigurations:

[0198] a) RRC configuration of the candidate cell, including condReconfigId, condRRCReconfig, etc.

[0199] b) CPA configuration initiated by the master node (MN initiated CPA): includes the first execution condition, that is, the execution condition of the candidate cell, such as condExecutionCond.

[0200] The first execution condition includes at least one of the following:

[0201] condExecutionCond,

[0202] In other words, the first execution condition is used to trigger execution of the conditional reconfiguration after being satisfied, where the conditional reconfiguration is used for CPA or MN initiated inter-SN CPC.

[0203] c) The continuous CPAC configuration provided by the candidate cell, such as subsequentCondReconfig, includes the continuous CPAC execution conditions for condition evaluation of other candidate cells when the RRC configuration of the candidate cell is applied (understandably, when serving as the primary and secondary cells), that is, at least one second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG.

[0204] The second execution condition includes at least one of the following:

[0205] condExecutionCondSCG associated with the conditional reconfiguration identifier; wherein the conditional reconfiguration identifier corresponds to a candidate cell.

[0206] The second execution condition is used to trigger the execution of conditional reconfiguration after it is met, and the conditional reconfiguration is used for SN initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC, SN initiated intra-SN subsequent CPAC with MN involvement, or MN initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC.

[0207] For each conditional reconfiguration identifier condReconfigId, the network may configure the first execution condition and the second execution condition simultaneously.

[0208] For example, for each conditional reconfiguration identifier condReconfigId, the network may simultaneously configure the first execution condition condExecutionCond and the second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG for continuous CPAC.

[0209] For example, configure candidate cells Cell【1, 2, 3】;

[0210] Among them, candidate cells Cell1, Cell2, and Cell3 are all CPA candidate cells and are candidate cells for continuous CPAC.

[0211] in,

[0212] The first execution condition of the candidate cell Cell1 is condExecutionCond, and its value is measId1;

[0213] The first execution condition of the candidate cell Cell2 is condExecutionCond, and its value is measId2;

[0214] The first execution condition of candidate cell Cell3 is condExecutionCond, and its value is measId3;

[0215] After applying the conditional reconfiguration of Cell1, that is, when PScell ​​is Cell1:

[0216] The second execution condition of the candidate cell Cell2 is condExecutionCondSCG, and its value is measId1-2;

[0217] The second execution condition of the candidate cell Cell3 is condExecutionCondSCG, and its value is measId1-3;

[0218] After applying the conditional reconfiguration of Cell2, that is, when PScell ​​is Cell2:

[0219] The second execution condition of the candidate cell Cell1 is condExecutionCondSCG, and its value is measId2-1;

[0220] The second execution condition of the candidate cell Cell3 is condExecutionCondSCG, and its value is measId2-3;

[0221] After applying the conditional reconfiguration of Cell3, that is, when the PScell ​​is Cell3:

[0222] The second execution condition of the candidate cell Cell1 is condExecutionCondSCG, and its value is measId3-1;

[0223] The second execution condition of the candidate cell Cell2 is condExecutionCondSCG, and its value is measId3-1;

[0224] The value of the above execution condition is MeasID, which is associated with the MCG measurement configuration or the SCG measurement configuration.

[0225] 2. The UE uses a target execution condition to evaluate each candidate cell, where the target execution condition is the execution condition currently applied to the candidate cell being evaluated.

[0226] The target execution condition is condExecutionCond or condExecutionCondSCG included in CondReconfigToAddMod, which uses fixed parameters to indicate the target condition.

[0227] The target execution condition includes at least one of the following:

[0228] The first execution condition is condExecutionCond. For example, in this embodiment, during the CPA evaluation process, the target execution is used as the first execution condition for each candidate cell. The candidate cells are Cell1, Cell2, and Cell3.

[0229] The second execution condition is condExecutionCondSCG included in CondReconfigToAddMod, or the execution condition associated with the conditional reconfiguration identifier included in the continuous conditional reconfiguration.

[0230] If the condExecutionCondSCG included in CondReconfigToAddMod is used, then after CPAC occurs, the execution condition associated with the conditional reconfiguration identifier included in the continuous conditional reconfiguration is used to update the condExecutionCondSCG included in CondReconfigToAddMod associated with the conditional reconfiguration identifier.

[0231] The continuous conditional reconfiguration is the continuous conditional reconfiguration included in the conditional reconfiguration corresponding to the primary and secondary cells PSCell (ie, the current primary and secondary cells or serving cell).

[0232] For a CPAC process that includes continuous conditional reconfiguration:

[0233] In the initial CPAC phase, the first execution condition is adopted. After the initial CPAC is executed, the continuous CPAC phase begins.

[0234] In the continuous CPAC phase, that is, the continuous conditional reconfiguration included in the conditional reconfiguration corresponding to the primary and secondary cells (PSCells) is applied, the second execution condition is adopted.

[0235] It should be noted that the included continuous conditional reconfiguration is not applied in the initial CPAC stage.

[0236] An implementation mode A: a method for selecting execution conditions during a conditional reconfiguration evaluation process.

[0237] If the first execution condition condExecutionCondcond and the second execution condition ExecutionCondSCG are both associated with the conditional reconfiguration identifier condReconfigId:

[0238] If the subsequent conditional reconfiguration subsequentCondReconfig is applied, considering the measurement identifier MeasID indicated by the second execution condition as an applicable measurement identifier;

[0239] If the subsequent conditional reconfiguration subsequentCondReconfig is not applied, the measurement identifier MeasID indicated by the first execution condition is considered to be an applicable measurement identifier.

[0240] Alternative implementation B: Clarify the selection of execution conditions in the condExecutionCond and condExecutionCondSCG parameter descriptions.

[0241] For each conditional reconfiguration identifier condReconfigId, the network may simultaneously configure a first execution condition condExecutionCond and a second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG for continuous CPAC.

[0242] The execution condition selection method includes at least one of the following:

[0243] If the subsequent conditional reconfiguration subsequentCondReconfig is applied, the second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG is used for the continuous CPAC evaluation;

[0244] If the subsequent conditional reconfiguration subsequentCondReconfig is not applied, the conditional reconfiguration evaluation is performed using the first execution condition condExecutionCond;

[0245] The second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG is used as a continuous execution condition in the conditional reconfiguration evaluation of the continuous CPAC.

[0246] 3. After at least one execution condition is met, the UE performs CPA, for example, adding a PSCell as Cell1.

[0247] 4. After executing CPA, the UE enters the continuous CPC process, which includes the evaluation and execution of continuous CPC.

[0248] During the continuous CPC process, the UE uses the target execution condition to evaluate each candidate cell, where the target execution condition is the second execution condition for each candidate cell. That is, the UE uses the second execution condition to evaluate each candidate cell of the PSCell. The second execution condition is the execution condition associated with the conditional reconfiguration identifier of the candidate cell included in the continuous conditional reconfiguration.

[0249] For example, the PSCell is Cell1, and the candidate cells are candidate cells Cell2 and Cell3 configured by Cell1.

[0250] The second execution condition of the candidate cell Cell2 is condExecutionCondSCG, and its value is measId1-2;

[0251] The second execution condition of the candidate cell Cell3 is condExecutionCondSCG, and its value is measId1-3.

[0252] The UE retains the first execution condition of each candidate cell. For example, during the continuous CPAC process or after CPAC execution, the CPAC execution condition condExecutionCond configured by the MN for each candidate cell is retained.

[0253] The first execution condition of the candidate cell Cell1 is condExecutionCond, and its value is measId1;

[0254] The first execution condition of the candidate cell Cell2 is condExecutionCond, and its value is measId2;

[0255] The first execution condition of the candidate cell Cell3 is condExecutionCond, and its value is measId3.

[0256] In the embodiment of the present application, by retaining the first execution condition of each candidate cell, when CPA is needed to restore dual connectivity, as many candidate cells as possible participate in CPA, thereby improving conditional handover performance.

[0257] For example, after performing CPA, the UE performs a first operation, including one of the following:

[0258] The UE uses the second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG-r18[measId1-2] of candidate cell 2 to evaluate candidate cell 2.

[0259] The UE uses the second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG-r18[measId1-3] of candidate cell 3 to evaluate candidate cell 3.

[0260] The target execution condition of each candidate cell of the PSCell in the update variable MCG VarConditionalReconfig is the second execution condition.

[0261] For example, the target execution condition is condExecutionCondSCG included in CondReconfigToAddMod, and the second execution condition associated with the conditional reconfiguration identifier of the candidate cell included in the continuous conditional reconfiguration is used to update the target execution condition.

[0262] The continuous conditional reconfiguration is the continuous conditional reconfiguration included in the conditional reconfiguration corresponding to the primary and secondary cells PSCell (ie, the current primary and secondary cells or serving cell).

[0263] In the aforementioned process, the first execution condition of each candidate cell is retained. Furthermore, the conditional reconfiguration variable for the candidate cell may include both the first and second execution conditions. In the embodiment of the present application, determining the second condition, such as using the second execution condition during the continuous CPC process, avoids confusion over the use of multiple execution conditions and ensures communication quality.

[0264] 5. After continuous CPC evaluation, the UE performs CPC and the PSCell switches to Cell2. Cell2 configures candidate cells Cell1 and Cell3.

[0265] The target execution condition of each candidate cell of the PSCell is the second execution condition, ie, the continuous CPAC execution condition.

[0266] For example, after executing CPC, the UE performs a first operation, including one of the following:

[0267] The UE uses the second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG-r18[measId2-1] for selecting cell 1 to evaluate candidate cell 1.

[0268] The UE uses the second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG-r18[measId2-3] for selecting cell 3 to evaluate candidate cell 3.

[0269] Update condExecutionCondSCG in the variable MCG VarConditionalReconfig.

[0270] 6.SCG released.

[0271] 7. The UE performs CPA evaluation on candidate cells: Cell1, Cell2, and Cell3.

[0272] The target execution condition of each candidate cell is the first execution condition, ie, the CPA execution condition.

[0273] For example:

[0274] After executing CPC, the UE performs a first operation, including one of the following:

[0275] The first execution condition of the candidate cell Cell1 is condExecutionCond, and its value is measId1;

[0276] The first execution condition of the candidate cell Cell2 is condExecutionCond, and its value is measId2;

[0277] The first execution condition of the candidate cell Cell3 is condExecutionCond, and its value is measId3.

[0278] In the aforementioned process, the first execution condition of each candidate cell is retained. Furthermore, the conditional reconfiguration variable for the candidate cell may include both the first and second execution conditions. In the embodiment of the present application, determining the first execution condition, such as using the first execution condition during the CPA process, avoids confusion over the use of multiple execution conditions and ensures communication quality.

[0279] Example 2: Preserving the conditional configuration for CPA during continuous CPAC. The initial process is CPC initiated by MN.

[0280] 1. The UE is in dual connectivity (MR-DC) and receives an RRC reconfiguration message containing the MN initiated CPC configuration and the continuous CPC configuration provided by the candidate cell.

[0281] The UE stores the RRC reconfiguration in the variable MCG VarConditionalReconfig.

[0282] The RRC reconfiguration includes at least one of the following conditional reconfigurations:

[0283] a) RRC configuration of the candidate cell, including condReconfigId, condRRCReconfig, etc.

[0284] b) CPC configuration initiated by the master node (MN initiated CPC): includes the first execution condition, that is, the execution condition of the candidate cell, such as condExecutionCond.

[0285] The first execution condition includes at least one of the following:

[0286] condExecutionCond,

[0287] In other words, the first execution condition is used to trigger execution of the conditional reconfiguration after being satisfied, where the conditional reconfiguration is used for CPA or MN initiated inter-SN CPC.

[0288] c) The continuous CPAC configuration provided by the candidate cell, such as subsequentCondReconfig, includes the continuous CPAC execution conditions for condition evaluation of other candidate cells when the RRC configuration of the candidate cell is applied (understandably, when serving as the primary and secondary cells), that is, at least one second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG.

[0289] The second execution condition includes at least one of the following:

[0290] condExecutionCondSCG associated with the conditional reconfiguration identifier; wherein the conditional reconfiguration identifier corresponds to a candidate cell.

[0291] The second execution condition is used to trigger the execution of conditional reconfiguration after it is met, and the conditional reconfiguration is used for SN initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC, SN initiated intra-SN subsequent CPAC with MN involvement, or MN initiated inter-SN subsequent CPAC.

[0292] For each conditional reconfiguration identifier condReconfigId, the network may configure the first execution condition and the second execution condition simultaneously.

[0293] For example, for each conditional reconfiguration identifier condReconfigId, the network may simultaneously configure the first execution condition condExecutionCond and the second execution condition condExecutionCondSCG for continuous CPAC.

[0294] For example, the current PSCell is Cell1;

[0295] The configured candidate cells are Cell [1, 2, 3], where the candidate cells Cell 2 and Cell 3 are configured with the first execution condition by the MN. The candidate cells Cell 1, Cell 2, and Cell 3 are all candidate cells for continuous CPAC.

[0296] in,

[0297] The first execution condition of the candidate cell Cell2 is condExecutionCond, and its value is measId2;

[0298] The first execution condition of candidate cell Cell3 is condExecutionCond, and its value is measId3;

[0299] After applying the conditional reconfiguration of Cell2, that is, when PScell ​​is Cell2:

[0300] The second execution condition of the candidate cell Cell1 is condExecutionCondSCG, and its value is measId2-1;

[0301] The second execution condition of the candidate cell Cell3 is condExecutionCondSCG, and its value is measId2-3;

[0302] After applying the conditional reconfiguration of Cell3, that is, when PScell ​​is Cell3:

[0303] The second execution condition of the candidate cell Cell1 is condExecutionCondSCG, and its value is measId3-1;

[0304] The second execution condition of the candidate cell Cell2 is condExecutionCondSCG, and its value is measId3-1;

[0305] The value of the above execution condition is MeasID, which is associated with the MCG measurement configuration or the SCG measurement configuration.

[0306] 2. The UE uses a target execution condition to evaluate each candidate cell, where the target execution condition is the execution condition currently applied to the candidate cell being evaluated.

[0307] 3. After at least one execution condition is met, the UE executes CPC, for example, the PSCell is changed to Cell2.

[0308] 4. After executing CPC, the UE enters the continuous CPC process, which includes the evaluation and execution of continuous CPC.

[0309] During the continuous CPC process, the UE uses the target execution condition to evaluate each candidate cell, where the target execution condition is the second execution condition for each candidate cell. That is, the UE uses the second execution condition to evaluate each candidate cell of the PSCell. The second execution condition is the execution condition associated with the conditional reconfiguration identifier of the candidate cell included in the continuous conditional reconfiguration.

[0310] The candidate cells configured by Cell2 are Cell1 and Cell3.

[0311] The target execution condition of each candidate cell of the PSCell is the second execution condition, ie, the continuous CPAC execution condition.

[0312] The UE retains the first execution condition of each candidate cell. For example, during the continuous CPAC process or after CPAC execution, the CPAC execution condition condExecutionCond configured by the MN for each candidate cell is retained.

[0313] The first execution condition of the candidate cell Cell2 is condExecutionCond, and its value is measId2;

[0314] The first execution condition of candidate cell Cell3 is condExecutionCond, and its value is measId3;

[0315] It is understood that the CPAC execution condition configured by the MN as the A4 measurement event can be used for CPA. By retaining the first execution condition for each candidate cell, when CPA is required to restore dual connectivity, as many candidate cells as possible participate in CPA, improving conditional handover performance.

[0316] 5.SCG release;

[0317] 6. The UE performs CPA evaluation on candidate cells: Cell2 and Cell3.

[0318] The target execution condition of each candidate cell is the first execution condition, that is, the execution condition of MN initiated inter-SN CPC.

[0319] In the aforementioned process, the first execution condition of each candidate cell is retained. Furthermore, the conditional reconfiguration variable for the candidate cell may include both the first and second execution conditions. In the embodiment of the present application, determining the first execution condition, such as using the first execution condition during the CPA process, avoids confusion over the use of multiple execution conditions and ensures communication quality.
