[0038] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of this disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this disclosure, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of this disclosure without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0039] It should be noted that in this disclosure, words such as "exemplarily" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described in this disclosure as "exemplary" or "for example" should not be construed as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplarily" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in an illustrative manner.

[0040] In the following, the terms "first," "second," etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the quantity of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature specified as "first," "second," etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0041] In the description of this disclosure, unless otherwise specified, " / " means "or." For example, A / B can mean A or B. "And / or" herein is simply a description of an association between related objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can mean: only A, only B, and A and B. Furthermore, "at least one" means one or more, and "a plurality" means two or more.

[0042] With the development of IoT technology, application scenarios such as environmental monitoring and large-scale warehousing have put forward requirements for IoT devices to be smaller in size, lower in complexity, and lower in power consumption.

[0043] To this end, AIoT technology has begun to develop. In wireless sensor networks using AIoT technology, IoT devices can adapt to their environments through sensors, data analysis, and connectivity, offering low costs and self-powered features. These IoT devices using AIoT technology are also referred to as AIoT devices and AIoT terminals.

[0044] Wireless sensor networks using AIoT technology can be divided into four topologies.

[0045] In the first topology, direct bidirectional communication occurs between the base station (BS) and the AIoT terminal. The communications between the BS and the AIoT terminal can include ambient IoT data and / or signaling. In this topology, the base station that sends information to the AIoT terminal can be different from the base station that receives information from the AIoT terminal.

[0046] In the second topology, the base station and the AIoT terminal establish a communication connection through a relay node. The AIoT terminal can communicate with the relay node in both directions. The relay node is used to transmit environmental IoT data and / or signaling between the base station and the AIoT terminal. In this topology, the relay node can be a relay, an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node, a user equipment (UE) or a repeater, etc., to support the operation of the environmental IoT. The relay node can also be called an intermediate node (intermediate node), etc.

[0047] In the third topology, the base station and the AIoT terminal establish a communication connection through an assisting node. For example, the AIoT terminal can send data or signaling to the base station and receive signaling or data from the assisting node. For another example, the AIoT terminal can receive data or signaling from the base station and send signaling or data to the assisting node. In this topology, the assisting node can be a relay, IAB node, UE, or repeater, etc., used to support the operation of the environmental Internet of Things.

[0048] In the fourth topology, the AIoT terminal and the UE perform two-way communication. The communication content between the AIoT terminal and the UE may include environmental IoT data and / or signaling.

[0049] From a deployment perspective, wireless sensor networks using AIoT technology can be deployed using a combination of indoor devices + indoor base stations, indoor devices + outdoor base stations, indoor devices + user equipment (UE), outdoor devices + outdoor base stations, and outdoor devices + user equipment (UE). Indoor and outdoor devices are AIoT terminals. Base stations and user equipment (UE) provide reader / writer functionality.

[0050] AIoT terminals can be divided into three types based on their energy storage capacity and their ability to generate RF signals for transmission. The first type of terminal has no energy storage capacity and does not have the ability to independently generate RF signals. The second type of terminal has energy storage capacity but does not have the ability to independently generate RF signals. The stored energy can be used to amplify reflected signals. The third type of terminal has energy storage capacity and has the ability to independently generate RF signals.

[0051] Considering the weak performance of some AIoT terminals (such as the first and second category terminals), the communication methods used in related technologies may not be able to effectively support AIoT terminals in receiving and sending information. These terminals with weak performance are often unable to report the information collected or monitored from the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to explore effective ways to support the exchange of information in the environmental Internet of Things.

[0052] To effectively support information reporting by terminals in the ambient Internet of Things, the present disclosure provides a communication method in which a terminal can receive first information sent by a base station. The first information indicates an operation command. Thus, the terminal can execute the corresponding operation command according to the instruction in the first information and obtain the execution result, thereby accurately identifying the information that needs to be reported to the base station. Furthermore, the terminal can send second information to the base station to indicate the execution result of the operation command, thereby transmitting the information to be reported to the base station.

[0053] Based on this, when the performance of the terminal (i.e., device) in the environmental Internet of Things is weak and it is difficult to actively report relevant information in the environment, the present disclosure can support the terminal to perform corresponding operations under the guidance of the base station to obtain relevant information in the environment, and further report the relevant information to the base station.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the communication method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to a terminal and a base station in a communication system. The communication system provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is described below.

[0055] As shown in Figure 1, a schematic diagram of the structure of a communication system 100 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The communication system 100 in Figure 1 may include a terminal 10 and a base station 20. The terminal 10 and the base station 20 may be in communication connection with each other.

[0056] Terminal 10 in Figure 1 can be various devices in the environmental IoT. For example, terminal 10 can be a sensor device such as a temperature sensor, humidity sensor, or light sensor, used to perform operations such as temperature or humidity acquisition. In another example, terminal 10 can be an actuator device such as a smart light bulb, smart socket, or electronic lock, used to perform operations such as lighting and power on / off. In another example, terminal 10 can be a monitoring device such as an air monitor, water quality monitor, noise monitor, or video monitor. In another example, terminal 10 can be an embedded device such as a smart TV, smart speaker, or refrigerator. In some embodiments, terminal 10 can also be referred to as an environmental IoT device, an AIoT terminal, or a UE.

[0057] In some embodiments, the terminal 10 may also be a wearable device such as a smartwatch or smart bracelet, a personal computer such as a tablet or laptop, a remote terminal, a user terminal (TE), a mobile device, etc. FIG1 shows an example of the device form of the terminal 10 and does not constitute a limitation.

[0058] The base station 20 in FIG1 may be a next-generation node base station (gNB), a new radio eNB, a macro base station, a micro base station, a high-frequency base station, or a transmission and reception point (TRP). FIG1 shows an example of the device form of the base station 20 and does not constitute a limitation.

[0059] It should be noted that the communication system 100 shown in FIG1 is merely an example and does not limit the system architecture to which the communication method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure is applicable. For example, the communication system 100 may include more terminals 10. For another example, the communication system 100 may include more base stations 20.

[0060] The following describes the communication method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure in conjunction with the communication system shown in Figure 1. Figure 2 is a schematic flow chart of a communication method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method shown in Figure 2 can be applied to a terminal in the communication system shown in Figure 1. As shown in Figure 2, the communication method may include: S201-S202.

[0061] S201. A terminal receives first information sent by a base station.

[0062] The first information may be used to indicate an operation command.

[0063] In one possible manner, the first information includes at least one of the following: the type of operation command, terminal identification information, verification information, and a serial number.

[0064] The type of the operation command may include at least one of the following: a read command, a query command, a write command, a parameter setting command, an inventory command, and a positioning command. The type of the operation command may also be indicated by a signaling type field of the first information.

[0065] The read command can be used to instruct the terminal to read stored data. For example, data such as temperature or electricity usage collected by the terminal. The query command can be used to instruct the terminal to retrieve qualified data from the stored data. The write command can be used to instruct the terminal to write specified data. The parameter setting command can be used to instruct the terminal to configure or modify specified parameters. The inventory command can be used to instruct the terminal to inventory stored data, as well as terminal attribute information and configuration information. The positioning command can be used to instruct the terminal to report its current location.

[0066] The terminal identification information may be used to indicate the terminal that executes the operation command, and may include at least one of the following: terminal type, group information, and terminal identification.

[0067] The terminal type can be used to indicate the capability type of the terminal. For example, the terminal type can be used to indicate a first type that does not have energy storage capability and does not have radio frequency signal generation capability, a second type that has energy storage capability but does not have radio frequency signal generation capability, or a third type that has both energy storage capability and radio frequency signal generation capability.

[0068] The group information may be a group identifier (ID) of the terminal, which may be used to indicate the group to which the terminal belongs in a packet transmission mode. The terminal identification may be an ID of the terminal, which may be used to uniquely identify the terminal.

[0069] The check information can be used to indicate the sequence number of the first information. Based on the check information, the terminal can generate reply check information in the information that replies to the first information, so that the base station can determine the information from the terminal that replies to the first information based on the reply check information. For example, the value of the check bit corresponding to the check information in the first information can be 1. The terminal can accumulate the check bits based on the check bits to generate reply check information with a value of 2.

[0070] The sequence number can be used by the terminal to confirm that the base station has received the last reply message or response message sent by the terminal, so as to avoid repeated data transmission or out-of-order transmission and improve the integrity of the data during the communication process.

[0071] In one possible approach, multiple terminals with the same functionality can be deployed in the environmental IoT to facilitate the acquisition of the same measurement data at different locations in the environment, or to perform the same action at different locations in the environment. For example, these multiple terminals with the same functionality can be multiple temperature sensors or multiple water quality detectors, used to measure the temperature or water quality at different locations in the deployed environment. Another example is that these multiple terminals with the same functionality can be smart light bulbs, used to perform lighting actions at different locations in the deployed environment. These terminals often have weak processing capabilities and may not have energy storage capabilities, etc.

[0072] In order to facilitate these terminals to report relevant information in the environment, the base station can first send a first message for instruction. Then, the terminal can perform corresponding processing based on the energy of the signal carrying the first information. Moreover, when instructing these terminals to execute an operation command, the first information can include less content. For example, the first information can include the type of operation command and the terminal type. Therefore, the terminal can perform a simple parsing process on the first information to accurately identify the operation to be performed, and further perform the corresponding operation to obtain the execution result. Based on this, multiple terminals of the same terminal type can simultaneously perform the same operation and complete the information reporting based on the instructions of the first information, thereby realizing efficient information interaction in the environmental Internet of Things.

[0073] In one possible manner, when the first information includes the type of the operation command and the terminal type, and the type of the operation command includes an inventory command, the first information may be used to instruct the terminal of the terminal type to perform an inventory operation.

[0074] When the first information includes the type of the operation command and group information, and the type of the operation command includes an inventory command, the first information may be used to instruct the terminals in the group corresponding to the group information to perform an inventory operation.

[0075] In the case that the first information includes the type of operation command and the terminal identifier, and the type of operation command includes an inventory command, the first information may be used to instruct the terminal corresponding to the terminal identifier to perform an inventory operation.

[0076] In one possible manner, the first information can be carried in at least one of the following: broadcast information, unicast information, downlink dedicated information, system information block (SIB), media access control (MAC) control element (CE), downlink control information (DCI), and positioning information.

[0077] In one possible approach, the base station may start a timer corresponding to the first information while sending the first information. If the timer expires (i.e., reaches a set time) and the base station has not received the information sent by the terminal in response to the first information, the base station may resend the first information to the terminal, thereby avoiding the problem of the terminal being unable to execute the operation command due to failure to receive the first information, thereby improving the stability of the communication system.

[0078] S202. The terminal sends second information to the base station.

[0079] The second information may be used to indicate the execution result of the operation command.

[0080] In one possible manner, the second information includes at least one of the following: an execution result, verification information, a terminal identifier, and information indicating whether to transmit in segments.

[0081] The execution result may include information corresponding to the operation command, for example, information related to reading corresponding to a read command, information related to querying corresponding to a query command, information indicating a successful write corresponding to a write command, information indicating a successful setting corresponding to a parameter setting command, information related to inventory corresponding to an inventory command, and information related to positioning corresponding to a positioning command.

[0082] The verification information may be generated by the terminal based on the verification information in the first information, ie, the reply verification information in S201, and is used by the base station to determine that the second information is information that replies to the first information.

[0083] In one possible approach, if the terminal does not perform segmented transmission, that is, the second information is the entire information of the terminal's reply to the first information, then the second information may include information indicating non-segmented transmission. If the terminal performs segmented transmission, that is, the second information is partial information of the terminal's reply to the first information, then the second information may include information indicating segmented transmission.

[0084] In one possible manner, the second information is carried in at least one of the following: a media access control control unit, uplink control information (UCI), uplink auxiliary information, response information, a measurement report, and uplink dedicated information.

[0085] In one possible manner, when the terminal does not have the ability to generate radio frequency signals, the terminal can send second information indicating the execution result to the base station by reflecting the signal carrying the first information, thereby realizing reporting of the terminal information.

[0086] In the above-described embodiments of the present disclosure, a terminal may receive first information sent by a base station. The first information indicates an operation command. Thus, the terminal may execute the corresponding operation command according to the instructions in the first information and obtain an execution result, thereby accurately identifying the information that needs to be reported to the base station. Furthermore, the terminal may send second information to the base station to indicate the execution result of the operation command, thereby transmitting the information that needs to be reported to the base station.

[0087] Based on this, when the performance of the terminal (i.e., device) in the environmental Internet of Things is weak and it is difficult to actively report relevant information in the environment, the present disclosure can support the terminal to perform corresponding operations under the guidance of the base station to obtain relevant information in the environment, and further report the relevant information to the base station, which can effectively support the terminal in the environmental Internet of Things to report information.

[0088] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG3 , a flow chart of another communication method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is provided. When the base station and the AIoT terminal are deployed using the second topology or the third topology, to implement the communication method in S201-S202 above, FIG3 shows an example implementation method, including: S301-S302.

[0089] S301. A terminal receives first information sent by a base station through a first relay node.

[0090] In one possible manner, the relay node may be a relay, an IAB node, a UE, or a repeater, etc., and may perform bidirectional communication with the terminal.

[0091] S302. The terminal sends second information to the base station through the first relay node.

[0092] In one possible approach, when the environment in which the terminal is deployed is an indoor environment, considering that the signal from the base station to the terminal may be weak, or the signal reflected by the terminal may be difficult to reach the base station, a relay node near the terminal can assist the terminal in information interaction with the base station, thereby realizing the sending or reporting of information in the environmental Internet of Things.

[0093] In one embodiment, FIG4 is a flow chart illustrating another communication method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. To establish a communication connection between a base station and a low-performance terminal in an environmental IoT, the low-performance terminal may be activated by the base station. As shown in FIG4 , the communication method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure further includes: S401-S402.

[0094] S401: A terminal receives third information broadcasted by a base station.

[0095] The third information can be used to activate the terminal.

[0096] In one possible manner, the third information may include at least one of the following: operation command, terminal type, base station identifier, cell identifier, serial number, verification information, synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block (SSB) related information, initial bandwidth information, downlink channel configuration, and random access parameters.

[0097] The operation command in the third information can be a read command, a query command, a write command, a parameter setting command, an inventory command, a positioning command, and can also be a command instructing access to a base station, a command to activate a specified tag, a command to deactivate a specified tag, a command instructing to establish a communication connection, etc.

[0098] The terminal type in the third information can be used to indicate the functional type of the terminal. For example, the terminal type can be used to indicate sensor type, actuator type, embedded type, or monitoring type. Sensor type terminals can be temperature sensors, humidity sensors, light sensors, etc. Actuator type terminals can be smart light bulbs, smart sockets, electronic locks, etc. Embedded type terminals can be smart TVs, smart speakers, refrigerators, etc. Monitoring type terminals can be air monitoring devices, water quality monitoring devices, noise monitoring devices, video monitoring devices, etc.

[0099] In one possible approach, a terminal type can be associated with a type identifier, and different terminal types can correspond to different type identifiers. Furthermore, the type identifier can be a simple string combination. The third information can indicate the terminal type to be activated by carrying the type identifier corresponding to the terminal type, allowing the terminal to identify the terminal type through simple processing.

[0100] The base station identifier, or base station ID, is the unique identification information of a base station and can be composed of multiple identification information. This multiple identification information can include the MCC (Mobile Country Code), MNC (Mobile Network Code), TAC (Tracking Area Code), PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network) ID, LAC (Location Area Code), and the base station's own numbering information used to distinguish it from other base stations, or any combination thereof.

[0101] The cell identifier is the cell ID, which is used to uniquely identify the cell under the base station.

[0102] The sequence number in the third information can be used by the terminal to receive relevant information in sequence, thereby improving the integrity of data during communication and avoiding duplicate transmission.

[0103] The check information may be a check code of the third information, used to verify the integrity of the third information. For example, the check code may be an odd check, an even check, or a cyclic redundancy check (CRC).

[0104] The SSB-related information may be information related to the initial SSB (i.e., primary synchronization signal). System information block 1 broadcasts the symbol sequence of the initial SSB. The terminal may perform an initial cell search based on the symbol sequence.

[0105] The initial bandwidth information may be information of an initial bandwidth part (BWP). BWP is a unit for allocating physical layer resources in a network and is used to define a range of physical layer resources.

[0106] Downlink channel configuration is configuration information of a downlink channel, and may include configuration parameters of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), configuration parameters of a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), and configuration information of other downlink channels.

[0107] Random access parameters are parameters used in the random access process, such as random access code and power level.

[0108] In one possible approach, the third information may further include cell-specific information and a system information index, etc. The cell-specific information may include cell-specific radio resource configuration information and cell barring information, etc. The system information index may include a broadcast system information index, which is used to indicate the index position and version information of other SIB messages.

[0109] In one possible manner, triggering the base station to broadcast the third information to activate the terminal may be at least one of the following: periodic triggering based on periodic information configured by an upper layer (or higher layer); triggering based on an activation indication from the upper layer; triggering based on an event configured by the upper layer as a trigger condition; triggering based on an indication of the type of terminal to be activated; or triggering based on an operation to be performed. The operation to be performed is also the purpose of activation, such as reading, querying, writing, and parameter setting.

[0110] The upper layer may send the indication information via at least one of the following: predefined dedicated signaling for carrying indication information, handover related information, path switch related information, UE context configuration release related information, paging related information, and location report related information.

[0111] S402: The terminal sends access information to the base station.

[0112] The access information may include at least one of the following: a preamble, a payload, a transmission gap, and terminal-related information. The preamble may be used for data synchronization. The payload may be used to carry valid data. The transmission gap may support a configurable duration. The terminal-related information may include the terminal ID, the tag's serial number, type identifier, date and time stamp, manufacturer ID, terminal capability type (such as the first, second, or third type described above), the terminal's physical layer identifier, and the terminal's group ID.

[0113] In one possible approach, upon receiving the third information broadcast by the base station, the terminal may send access information to the base station. Accordingly, the base station may receive the access information sent by the terminal and further establish a connection with the terminal. Based on this, the present disclosure may support establishing a connection between the terminal and the base station and completing activation through a method similar to a two-step random access channel (RACH) process.

[0114] In the above-mentioned embodiments of the present disclosure, when the terminal performance is weak and cannot actively establish a connection with the base station, the base station can broadcast relevant information to the terminal to indicate the relevant information required to access the base station, so as to support the establishment of a communication connection between the terminal and the base station, thereby realizing the interaction of information in the environmental Internet of Things and facilitating the upper layer to manage the terminal.

[0115] In one possible embodiment, FIG5 shows a schematic flow diagram of another communication method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. When a terminal is activated, the base station may obtain capability information from the terminal to facilitate guiding the terminal to report the information. To support the base station in obtaining the terminal's capability information, as shown in FIG5 , the communication method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure further includes: S501-S502.

[0116] S501: A terminal receives fourth information sent by a base station.

[0117] The fourth information can be used to query the capability information of the terminal.

[0118] In one possible manner, the fourth information may include at least one of the following: a capability query indication, an access configuration, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource configuration, and a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) configuration. The capability query indication may be used to indicate query capability information. The access configuration may be a configuration parameter related to the terminal accessing the base station. The PUCCH resource configuration may include a PUCCH resource indicator. The HARQ configuration may include a HARQ feedback timing indicator.

[0119] In a possible manner, the fourth information may further include a cyclic prefix (CP) extension, which is used to eliminate inter-symbol interference caused by multipath propagation.

[0120] In one possible manner, the fourth information may be carried in at least one of the following: predefined dedicated signaling for carrying a capability query indication, information related to a cell handover process, information related to a path handover process, context configuration release information, paging information, and location report information. The context configuration release information refers to information related to the context configuration or release of the terminal.

[0121] In a possible manner, the base station may also carry the fourth information in downlink information such as connection configuration, reconfiguration, connection recovery or capability query information and send it downlink.

[0122] S502: The terminal sends capability information to the base station.

[0123] In one possible manner, after receiving the fourth information sent by the base station, the terminal may send uplink information or a UE capability message carrying its own capability information to the base station. Correspondingly, the base station may receive the capability information sent by the terminal.

[0124] The capability information of the terminal may include at least one of the following: terminal type (such as the first type, the second type or the third type), information indicating whether the query function is supported, information indicating whether the write function is supported, information indicating whether parameter setting is supported, information indicating whether the storage function is supported, information indicating whether segmented transmission of data packets is supported, information indicating whether remote control capability is supported, information indicating whether analysis capability is available, information indicating whether real-time monitoring is supported, etc.

[0125] In the above-described embodiments of the present disclosure, terminals can report capability information under the instruction of the base station, so that the base station can perform targeted network optimization based on the capability information reported by the terminals. For example, when there are many terminals with weak performance, the base station can increase the downlink signal strength and frequency, etc., so that the terminals can perform relevant processing and report information based on the energy carried by the downlink signal.

[0126] In one embodiment, to prevent a terminal from sending a quality of experience (QoE) measurement report measured in a non-connected state to a non-home operator, consideration is given to supporting the terminal in performing a public land mobile network (PLMN) check during QoE measurement. In this case, when the terminal performs QoE measurement in a non-connected state, the communication method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes: S601.

[0127] S601: When the terminal is in a non-connected state and the reselected PLMN is different from the registered PLMN, the terminal performs a first operation.

[0128] The first operation may include at least one of the following actions: stopping QoE measurement of the registered PLMN; saving the QoE measurement report of the registered PLMN; triggering the terminal to enter a connected state and receive QoE measurement configuration information; triggering the terminal to enter a connected state and receive indication information for the terminal to continue measurement; performing QoE measurement corresponding to the reselected PLMN based on the default QoE measurement configuration; overwriting the QoE measurement report corresponding to the registered PLMN with the QoE measurement report corresponding to the reselected PLMN; obtaining a new QoE measurement configuration, and performing QoE measurement corresponding to the reselected PLMN based on the new QoE measurement configuration.

[0129] In one possible approach, it is considered that the terminal can still perform quality of experience (QoE) measurements to obtain a QoE measurement report in a non-connected state, and may trigger a public land mobile network (PLMN) reselection process. In this case, the PLMN corresponding to the QoE measurement report measured by the terminal is the PLMN registered before the reselection, and the registered PLMN and the reselected PLMN may belong to different operators. If the terminal sends the QoE measurement report to the reselected PLMN, the problem of the QoE measurement report being reported to a non-belonging operator is likely to occur.

[0130] Therefore, when the reselected PLMN is different from the registered PLMN in the unconnected state, the terminal can perform the first operation to avoid the problem of incorrect reporting of the QoE measurement report. That is, when the connected PLMN is not included in the area range and the connected PLMN is different from the PLMN that provides the QoE configuration, the terminal will not forward the QoE configuration and QoE measurement report, and can release these QoE configuration and QoE measurement report.

[0131] In one possible manner, the non-connected state may be a radio resource control (RRC) idle state or an inactive state.

[0132] In one embodiment, considering that a terminal may trigger multiple PLMN reselection processes in a non-connected state, i.e., the terminal may measure QoE measurement reports of multiple registered PLMNs in the non-connected state, to facilitate the terminal in determining the QoE measurement report corresponding to the currently used PLMN to be reported when switching from the non-connected state to the connected state, the communication method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes: S701.

[0133] S701. The terminal stores a QoE measurement report and an identifier of a registered PLMN corresponding to the QoE measurement report.

[0134] In one possible implementation, after a terminal performs QoE measurement and obtains a QoE measurement report, it can store the QoE measurement report and the identifier (i.e., ID) of the registered PLMN corresponding to the QoE measurement report. For example, the terminal can add the registered PLMN ID corresponding to the QoE measurement report to the measurement report application layer message that carries the QoE measurement report. Based on this, the terminal can easily and accurately identify QoE measurement reports corresponding to different PLMNs.

[0135] Furthermore, when the terminal switches from the non-connected state to the connected state, the terminal may determine and report the corresponding QoE measurement report based on the ID of the PLMN used in the connected state.

[0136] In one embodiment, considering that the PLMN identifier is a complex string combination and the terminal may have poor performance and difficulty processing operations such as storage of the PLMN identifier, in order to facilitate the terminal to store the correspondence between the QoE measurement report and the PLMN, the communication method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes: S801.

[0137] S801. The terminal stores a QoE measurement report and identification information corresponding to an identifier of a registered PLMN.

[0138] In one possible approach, the identification information corresponding to the registered PLMN identifier can be a relatively simple string combination. For example, a combination of an English letter and two Arabic numerals, a combination of two English letters and two Arabic numerals, etc. Based on this, in situations where performance is low (e.g., low energy and / or limited storage resources), when the terminal stores the QoE measurement report, it can store the correspondence between the registered PLMN identifier corresponding to the QoE measurement report and the simple identification information to facilitate subsequent identification and reporting.

Alternatively, the base station may pre-store the terminal capability information and receive the terminal capability information by directly reading the pre-stored terminal capability information.

[0167] S1401. The base station sends fifth information to the access management network element.

[0168] The fifth information can be used to query the access management network element for the terminal's capability information.

[0169] In a possible manner, the fifth information may include at least one of the following: a capability query indication, and terminal identification information. The terminal identification information may be a terminal ID, etc.

[0170] In one possible manner, the base station may send the fifth information to the access management network element through at least one of the following: predefined dedicated signaling for carrying the fifth information, related information of the next generation (NG) interface configuration, related information of the radio access network (RAN) configuration, related information of the AMF configuration update, related information of the overload, related information of the handover, related information of the warning type, related information of the error type, etc. Accordingly, the access management network element may receive the fifth information sent by the base station.

[0171] In one possible approach, the access management network element may be an access and mobility management function (AMF) network element.

[0172] S1402. The base station receives capability information sent by the access management network element.

[0173] In one possible approach, the access management network element may be configured with a storage module. The storage module may be used to pre-store capability information of each terminal in the physical network. Based on this, after receiving the fifth information sent by the base station, the access management network element may parse the fifth information to obtain terminal identification information and, based on the terminal identification information, read the corresponding capability information from the storage module. Furthermore, the access management network element may send the terminal capability information to the base station.

[0175] In the above embodiments of the present disclosure, the base station can obtain the capability information of the terminal from the access management network element, and assist the terminal in reporting the capability information through the access management network element, thereby avoiding the problem of difficulty in reporting detailed capability information when the terminal performance is weak, so as to support information interaction between the base station and the terminal.

[0176] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 11, a flow chart of another communication method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is provided. The communication method shown in Figure 11 may include: S1501-S1502.

[0177] S1501. A base station receives terminal information stored in a second relay node and sent by a second relay node.

[0178] The second relay node is a relay node to be moved out of the cell. For example, the second relay node may be a UE located near the terminal.

[0179] In one possible approach, when a terminal is connected to a base station via a second relay node, the second relay node can store relevant information about the terminal. Based on this, the second relay node can, upon determining that it has moved out of the cell under the base station, send the stored terminal information to the base station to report the relevant information about the terminal to the base station. Accordingly, the base station can receive the terminal information sent by the second relay node and store the terminal information, so that the base station can configure the terminal information of the terminal in the cell under the base station for the newly connected relay node, allowing the newly connected relay node to quickly obtain the terminal information.

[0180] In one possible manner, the second relay node can send the stored terminal information to the base station through at least one of the following: predefined indication information, predefined media access control control unit, predefined uplink control information, uplink auxiliary information, measurement report related information, UE response information, uplink dedicated information, etc.

[0181] In one possible manner, the second relay node may be the same relay node as the first relay node, or may be a relay node different from the first relay node. In the case where the second relay node is a relay node different from the first relay node, the second relay node may be a relay node that newly moves into the cell under the base station after the first relay node moves out of the cell under the base station.

[0182] S1502. The base station sends terminal information within the cell to the third relay node.

[0183] The third relay node is a relay node that has newly moved into the cell.

[0184] In one possible approach, upon determining that a third relay node has moved into a managed cell, the base station transmits information about terminals within the cell to the third relay node. Accordingly, the third relay node may receive the terminal information within the cell transmitted by the base station and configure the terminal information. Subsequently, the base station may transmit relevant indication information to the terminal via the third relay node, thereby facilitating receipt of relevant information about the environment reported by the terminal via the third relay node.

[0185] In one possible manner, the base station can send terminal information within the cell to the third relay node through at least one of the following: connection configuration information, reconfiguration information, connection recovery information, predefined unicast indication information, downlink dedicated information, predefined media access control control unit, and predefined downlink control information.

[0186] Based on this, during the switching of relay nodes within the cell, the terminal information in the previous relay node (such as the second relay node) that has moved out of the cell can be configured to the newly moved-in relay node (such as the third relay node), so as to conveniently configure the terminal information for the newly connected relay node, avoid the air interface resource occupation caused by re-execution of terminal information acquisition and configuration processes, and thus save air interface resources.
