Description

Information receiving and sending method and device Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of communication technologies. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, terminal device mobility management is primarily triggered by network devices based on measurement reports from the terminal devices. The terminal device receives a measurement configuration from the network device, which includes a measurement object and a measurement reporting configuration. Based on this measurement configuration, the terminal device measures the measurement object and reports the measurement results based on the measurement reporting configuration.

[0003] To reduce unnecessary measurements, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) protocol introduced the S-measurement mechanism to reduce terminal devices' measurements of non-serving cells, thereby saving power consumption. Network equipment can configure S-measurement threshold information for terminal devices. This S-measurement threshold information can be a Reference Singal Receiving Power (RSRP) threshold at the synchronization signal block (SSB) level or an RSRP threshold at the channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) level.

[0004] It should be noted that the above introduction to the technical background is merely intended to provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of this application and facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art. Simply because these solutions are described in the background technology section of this application, it should not be assumed that the above technical solutions are well known to those skilled in the art.

In the description and the accompanying drawings, specific embodiments of the present application are disclosed in detail, which illustrate some embodiments in which the principles of the present application can be adopted. It should be understood that the present application is not limited to the described embodiments. On the contrary, the present application includes all modifications, variations and equivalents that fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Furthermore, the term "according to" should be understood to mean "at least in part based on...", and the term "based on" should be understood to mean "at least in part based on...", unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0044] In the embodiments of the present application, a scenario involving network devices and / or terminal devices is taken as an example.

[0045] In the above scenario, the network device may include at least one of a core network device, a third-party application device, an operation administration and maintenance (OAM), and an access network device.

[0046] The core network device may refer to a device in the core network (CN) that provides service support for the terminal device. As some examples, the core network device may be at least one of the following: a mobility and management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF) entity, a session management function (SMF) entity, a user plane function (UPF) entity, a location management function (LMF) entity, and the like, which are not listed here one by one. Among them, the AMF entity may be responsible for the access management and mobility management of the terminal, the SMF entity may be responsible for session management, such as the establishment of a user session, and the UPF entity may be a functional entity of the user plane, mainly responsible for connecting to the external network. The LMF entity may manage the overall coordination and scheduling of resources required for the location of the terminal device registered with the core network device or accessing the core network device. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the entity may also be referred to as a network element or a functional entity, such as the AMF entity may also be referred to as an AMF network element or an AMF functional entity, and so on.

[0047] The third-party application device can be an OTT service (over the top server) or other third-party device.

[0048] OAM is a network device that performs operations, management, and maintenance on the network according to the actual needs of the operator's network operations.

[0049] The access network device is an access device that the terminal device uses to access the communication system wirelessly. The access network device can be a base station (BS), an evolved NodeB (eNodeB), a transmission reception point (TRP), a base station (next generation NodeB, gNB) in the fifth generation (5G) mobile communication system, a base station in the sixth generation (6G) mobile communication system, a base station in a future mobile communication system, or an access node in a WiFi system. The access network device can also be a module or unit that completes part of the functions of the base station. For example, it can be at least one of the following modules or units: a centralized unit (CU), a distributed unit (DU), a centralized unit control plane (CU control plane, CU-CP), a centralized unit user plane (CU user plane, CU-CP), an integrated access backhaul (IAB) or other modules or units. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific technology and / or specific device form adopted by the access network device. The access network equipment can be deployed on land, including indoors / outdoors, and can be handheld or vehicle-mounted; it can also be deployed on the water, on an airplane, on a balloon or on a satellite; the access network equipment can be deployed in a fixed location or on a mobile carrier, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0050] In the above scenarios, a terminal device can be a device with wireless transceiver capabilities that can send signals to and / or receive signals from an access network device. A terminal device can also be referred to as a terminal, mobile station, or mobile terminal. A terminal device can be a mobile phone, tablet, or other device with wireless intelligent transceiver capabilities. Terminal devices can be widely used in various scenarios, such as device-to-device (D2D), vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, machine-type communication (MTC), the Internet of Things (IoT), virtual reality, augmented reality, industrial control, autonomous driving, telemedicine, and various smart scenarios.

[0051] In the above scenarios, access network devices and terminal devices, and terminal devices and terminal devices can communicate via licensed spectrum, unlicensed spectrum, or both. The embodiments of this application do not limit the spectrum resources used for wireless communications.

[0052] In the following description of this application, artificial intelligence (AI) may also be referred to as artificial intelligence / machine learning (AI / ML) or machine learning ML, and these terms are interchangeable.

[0053] According to the prior art, the mobility management of the terminal device is mainly triggered by the network device according to the measurement report of the terminal device. The terminal device accepts the measurement configuration configured by the network device, and the measurement configuration includes the measurement object and the measurement reporting configuration. The terminal device measures the measurement object according to the measurement configuration, and reports the measurement result information of the measurement object according to the measurement reporting configuration. Possible measurement result information includes at least one of the following information: Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ), Reference Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) or other signal quality information; the measurement result information is based on the channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) or the synchronization signal block (SSB).

[0054] To reduce unnecessary measurements, the 3GPP protocol introduces the S-measurement mechanism. Network equipment can configure S-measurement threshold information for UEs. The S-measurement threshold information can be an RSRP threshold at the SSB level or an RSRP threshold at the CSI-RS level.

[0055] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an S-measurement embodiment of the present application. For example, a network device configures an S-measurement threshold. If the RSRP of the current serving cell measured by the terminal device is greater than or equal to the S-measurement threshold, the terminal device does not perform measurements on non-serving cells. If the RSRP of the current serving cell measured by the terminal device is less than the S-measurement threshold, the terminal device performs measurements on non-serving cells.

[0056] For example, taking the S-measurement threshold as the SSB RSRP threshold as an example, the terminal device measures the SSB of the service cell and obtains the SSB RSRP of the service cell. When the terminal device determines that the SSB RSRP of the service cell is greater than or equal to the SSB RSRP threshold, the terminal device does not perform measurements on non-service cells; when the SSB RSRP of the service cell is less than the SSB RSRP threshold, the terminal device (according to the measurement configuration) starts measurement of the measurement object in the measurement configuration (ie, the non-service cell) and obtains the corresponding measurement results.

[0057] With the development of AI / ML, measurement-related technologies can also be introduced into terminal device mobility management. Existing technologies do not consider AI / ML-related mechanisms. The S-measurement mechanism is crucial for mobility management and is a key condition for subsequent mobility management-related measurements of serving and non-serving cells. Therefore, how to apply the artificial intelligence (AI)-based S-measurement mechanism to terminal device mobility management is a challenge that needs to be addressed.

[0058] In response to at least one of the above problems, embodiments of the present application provide a method and apparatus for sending and receiving information.

[0059] The following describes embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings and detailed descriptions. For ease of description, the following description uses a base station as an example of an access network device. In the following description, "if," "under the circumstances," and "when" can be used interchangeably to avoid confusion.

[0060] Embodiments of the first aspect

[0061] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for sending information, which is described from the perspective of a terminal device.

[0062] FIG2 is a schematic diagram of a method for sending information according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG2 , the method includes:

[0063] 201: The terminal device receives first configuration information, where the first configuration information includes first measurement configuration information, or the first configuration information includes first measurement configuration information and second measurement threshold information; wherein the first measurement configuration information is used to indicate configuration information of the first measurement, and the second measurement threshold information is used to indicate S-measurement threshold information corresponding to the second measurement;

[0064] 202: The terminal device initiates a first measurement of the first cell and / or initiates a second measurement of the first cell according to the first configuration information.

[0065] It is worth noting that FIG2 above only schematically illustrates an embodiment of the present application, and the present application is not limited thereto. For example, other operations may be added or some operations may be reduced. Those skilled in the art may make appropriate modifications based on the above content, and are not limited to the description of FIG2 above.

[0066] According to the above embodiment, the terminal device initiates a first measurement of the first cell according to the first configuration information, and / or initiates a second measurement of the first cell. As a result, the terminal device can perform the first measurement (AI-based measurement) on the first cell (serving cell) and / or the second cell (non-serving cell), and track the performance of the first measurement (AI-based measurement), so as to be able to timely adjust the acquisition mode of the measurement results, ensure the accuracy of the measurement results, and further improve the reliability of mobility.

[0067] In some embodiments, the first measurement is an artificial intelligence (AI)-based measurement; the second measurement is a normal measurement; the first cell is a serving cell, and the second cell is a non-serving cell.

[0068] For example, "artificial intelligence (AI)-based measurement" is an AI-based prediction, and its expression can also be replaced by "artificial intelligence (AI)-based prediction" or "artificial intelligence (AI)-based S-measurement"; the measurement result obtained by the terminal device based on artificial intelligence (AI) measurement can be called a measurement result of artificial intelligence (AI)-based measurement, or a measurement result based on artificial intelligence (AI), or a prediction result based on artificial intelligence (AI), or a "predicted value";

[0069] For example, "ordinary measurement" corresponds to the measurement in the existing standard, and its expression can also be replaced by "legacy measurement", "measurement", etc.; the measurement result obtained by the ordinary measurement of the terminal device can be called "measured value".

[0070] For example, “serving cell” and “non-serving cell” can be referred to in the prior art, and this application does not limit this.

[0071] In some embodiments, the first measurement configuration information included in the first configuration information is used to indicate configuration information of the first measurement, and the second measurement threshold information included in the first configuration information is used to indicate S-measurement threshold information corresponding to the second measurement.

[0072] For example, the "first configuration information" may also be referred to as "S-measurement configuration information".

[0073] For example, the first measurement configuration information is used to indicate AI-based S-measurement configuration information, and the second measurement threshold information is used to indicate S-measurement threshold information of ordinary measurement, for example, indicating the “S-measurement threshold” shown in FIG. 1 .

[0074] In some embodiments, the first measurement configuration information includes at least one of the following information: first indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate the terminal device to start or not start the first measurement of the first cell; first measurement threshold information, the first measurement threshold information is used to indicate the S-measurement threshold information corresponding to the first measurement; first cell measurement configuration information based on artificial intelligence (AI), the first cell measurement configuration information based on artificial intelligence (AI) is used to indicate the configuration of performing the first measurement and / or the second measurement on the first cell.

[0075] The specific content of the "first measurement configuration information" is described below:

[0076] In some embodiments, the first measurement configuration information includes first indication information.

[0077] For example, the first indication information can be represented by a 1-bit information element. When the first configuration information includes the information element, it indicates that the terminal device starts the first measurement of the first cell; and / or, when the first configuration information does not include the information element, it indicates that the terminal device starts the second measurement of the first cell. Alternatively, when the bit value of the information element is the first value, it indicates that the terminal device starts the first measurement of the first cell, and / or, when the bit value is the second value, it indicates that the terminal device starts the second measurement of the first cell. As an example, the first value can be 1 or TRUE, and the second value can be 0 or FALSE; or, the first value can be 0 or FALSE, and the second value can be 1 or TRUE, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0078] In some embodiments, the first measurement threshold information includes at least one of SSB-based or CSI-RS-based measurement result threshold information corresponding to artificial intelligence (AI)-based measurement.

[0079] For example, the expression "first measurement threshold information" can also be replaced by "AI-based S-measurement threshold information" and so on.

[0080] As an example, referring to the aforementioned related content for traditional (ordinary) S-measurement, the network device can configure AI-based S-measurement threshold information for the UE. The AI-based S-measurement threshold information can be at least one measurement result threshold at the SSB level, or at least one measurement result threshold at the CSI-RS level, etc. This application does not limit this.

[0081] For example, the first measurement threshold information can be higher than the second measurement threshold information, thereby further providing a buffer space for starting the second measurement and the S-measurement criterion based on the second measurement threshold information based on the AI ​​measurement result (predicted value); or, the first measurement threshold information can be equal to the second measurement threshold information, thereby reducing the complexity of the protocol modification; or, the first measurement threshold information can be lower than the second measurement threshold information, thereby further reducing the energy consumption of the terminal device.

[0082] For example, when the first measurement configuration information only includes "first cell measurement configuration information based on artificial intelligence (AI)" but does not include "first measurement threshold information", the terminal device can use the second measurement threshold information (S-measurement threshold information for ordinary measurement) and determine whether to perform AI-based measurement and / or ordinary measurement on non-service cells based on the measurement results of the AI-based measurement of the serving cell; for another example, when the first measurement configuration information includes "first cell measurement configuration information based on artificial intelligence (AI)" and "first measurement threshold information", but the network device does not configure the "first measurement threshold information" (for example, the content of the information element corresponding to the "first measurement threshold information" is "absent"), the terminal device can use the second measurement threshold information (S-measurement threshold information for ordinary measurement) and determine whether to perform AI-based measurement and / or ordinary measurement on non-service cells based on the measurement results of the AI-based measurement of the serving cell. As a possible implementation method, the first measurement configuration information may include second indication information, and the second indication information is used to instruct the terminal device to use the second measurement threshold information, or to instruct the terminal device to use the S-measurement mechanism for the measurement results of the AI-based measurement; correspondingly, the terminal device determines that the second measurement threshold information can be used as the S-measurement threshold information of the measurement results of the AI-based measurement based on the second indication information; as another possible implementation method, under the above configuration, the protocol can predefine that the terminal device can use the second measurement threshold information as the S-measurement threshold information of the measurement results of the AI-based measurement.

[0083] In some embodiments, the artificial intelligence (AI)-based first cell measurement configuration information includes at least one of the following information: mode configuration information, which is used to indicate the configuration information of the terminal device to perform the second measurement; first measurement monitoring information, which is used to indicate the terminal device to monitor the performance of the first measurement.

[0084] For Mode Configuration Information:

[0085] The mode configuration information is used by the terminal device to determine whether to perform the second measurement (normal measurement) and / or to determine the time information for performing the second measurement (normal measurement); it can be understood that after the terminal device performs AI-based measurement on the service cell, in order to monitor the performance of the AI-based measurement, it is necessary to start normal measurement of the service cell if necessary.

[0086] In some embodiments, the mode configuration information includes periodic mode configuration information, which is used to instruct the terminal device to periodically perform the second measurement; or, the mode configuration information includes event-triggered mode configuration information, which is used to instruct the terminal device to perform the second measurement when it determines that the event is satisfied.

[0087] For example, the periodic mode configuration information may include periodic configuration information for the terminal device to perform the first measurement (AI-based measurement) and the second measurement (ordinary measurement). The period configuration information may be periodic number configuration information, for example, configuring the execution of the first measurement four times and the execution of the second measurement once; the period configuration information may also be periodic time configuration information, for example, the period is 120ms, the time length for executing the first measurement is configured to be 100ms, and the period for executing the second measurement is 20ms.

[0088] For another example, the event-triggered mode configuration information may include switching measurement threshold information. After the measurement result of the first measurement (AI-based measurement) of the terminal device meets the switching measurement threshold information, the terminal device performs a second measurement (ordinary measurement); or, when the difference between two adjacent measurement results of the first measurement (AI-based measurement) of the terminal device is greater than or equal to the switching measurement threshold information, the terminal device starts the second measurement (ordinary measurement).

[0089] For specific examples of periodic mode configuration information and event-triggered mode configuration information, please refer to the corresponding descriptions of Figures 3 and 4 below, which will not be repeated here.

[0090] As another possible implementation, the protocol may predefine the mode configuration for the terminal device to perform the second measurement (ordinary measurement). It will be understood that in this implementation, the first cell measurement configuration information based on artificial intelligence (AI) may not include mode configuration information. For example, the protocol predefines that after the terminal device performs N first measurements (AI-based measurements), it needs to perform M second measurements (ordinary measurements), where N and M are positive integers greater than or equal to 1. For another example, the protocol predefines that after the terminal device performs X first measurements (AI-based measurements), it needs to perform Y second measurements (ordinary measurements), where X and Y are positive numbers.

[0091] For "First Measurement Monitoring Information":

[0092] In some embodiments, the first measurement monitoring information includes at least one of the following information: monitoring threshold information, monitoring threshold bias information, trigger time information, trigger number information or other monitoring information. Among them, the monitoring threshold information and the monitoring threshold bias information can be used to determine the performance of the first measurement; the trigger time information and the trigger number information can be used to determine the stability of the performance of the first measurement. The first measurement monitoring information can monitor the deviation between the measurement result of the first measurement and the measurement result of the second measurement, or monitor the accuracy of the first measurement, or monitor the credibility of the first measurement; further, based on the monitoring results, the terminal device can further determine whether to deactivate the first measurement of the service cell and / or whether to start the second measurement of the service cell.

[0093] As an example, monitoring threshold information and / or monitoring threshold bias information is used by the terminal device to determine whether to deactivate the first measurement of the service cell and / or whether to start the second measurement of the service cell based on the predicted value, or based on the predicted value and the measured value; for example, when the first measurement monitoring information includes monitoring threshold bias information (for example, does not include monitoring threshold information), the terminal device can determine whether to deactivate the first measurement of the service cell and / or whether to start the second measurement of the service cell based on the deviation between the predicted value and the measured value, and the comparison result of the monitoring threshold bias information. Furthermore, the trigger time information and / or the trigger number information is used to determine the stability of the measurement result or prediction accuracy / precision of the first measurement. For example, the trigger time information is 100ms, and the trigger number information is 2 times, that is, the performance of the first measurement is monitored twice every 100ms, or within 100ms, the terminal device determines whether the performance of the first measurement meets the monitoring threshold information / monitoring threshold bias information for 2 consecutive times.

[0094] Details on how to determine whether to deactivate the first measurement of the serving cell and / or whether to enable the second measurement of the serving cell will be described in detail later and will not be repeated here.

[0095] After describing the specific content of the “first measurement configuration information” above, the following examples illustrate the behavior of the terminal device in combination with the specific content of each information:

[0096] In some embodiments, the method includes: after the terminal device receives the first configuration information, the terminal device starts the first measurement of the first cell; or, the terminal device starts the first measurement of the first cell according to the indication of the first indication information in the first configuration information. For example, after the terminal device receives the first configuration information (S-measurement configuration information) including the first measurement configuration information, the terminal device performs the first measurement (AI-based measurement) on the serving cell by default and obtains the predicted value of the serving cell. For example, if the S-measurement configuration information includes AI-based S-measurement configuration information, the terminal device starts the AI-based measurement of the serving cell. For another example, the terminal device can determine whether to start the first measurement (AI-based measurement) of the serving cell according to the first indication information in the first configuration information. For the first indication information, please refer to the aforementioned description of the "first indication information", which will not be repeated here.

[0097] Thus, the terminal device can determine whether to start the first measurement of the serving cell, thereby reducing power consumption caused by the terminal device performing ordinary measurements on the serving cell.

[0098] In some embodiments, the method includes: the terminal device initiating a second measurement of the first cell according to the mode configuration information in the first configuration information.

[0099] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of initiating a second measurement of the first cell according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 4 is another schematic diagram of initiating a second measurement of the first cell according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 5 is yet another schematic diagram of initiating a second measurement of the first cell according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0100] As an example, the first configuration information (S-measurement configuration information) includes mode configuration information. Taking the mode configuration information as periodic configuration information as an example, the configuration of the periodic configuration information is [4, 1], which configures the terminal device to perform 4 first measurements and 1 second measurement. For example, as shown in Figure 3, the terminal device obtains 4 predicted values ​​by obtaining 4 measurement results of the service cell through the first measurement, and the terminal device obtains 1 measured value corresponding to the fourth predicted value through the second measurement; for another example, as shown in Figure 4, the terminal device obtains 4 predicted values ​​by obtaining 4 measurement results of the service cell through the first measurement, and the terminal device obtains 1 measured value corresponding to the next predicted opportunity through the second measurement; and both Figures 3 and 4 are configured with [4, 1] as the period for cyclic measurement.

[0101] As another example, the first configuration information (S-measurement configuration information) includes event-triggered mode configuration information. Take the event-triggered mode configuration information including switching measurement threshold information as an example, as shown in Figure 5. When the measurement result of the first measurement (AI-based measurement) of the terminal device is less than or equal to the switching measurement threshold information, the terminal device starts the second measurement (ordinary measurement); correspondingly, the terminal device can obtain the measured value of the second measurement; or, when the difference between the measurement results of multiple adjacent times (two times in the figure as an example) of the first measurement (AI-based measurement) of the terminal device is greater than or equal to the switching measurement threshold information, the terminal device starts the second measurement (ordinary measurement); correspondingly, the terminal device can obtain the measured value of the second measurement.

[0102] The above describes a mechanism in which the terminal device starts the second measurement (normal measurement) and obtains the corresponding measured value; the following example illustrates whether the terminal device continues to perform the first measurement (AI-based measurement) on the serving cell, and / or whether the terminal device continues to perform the second measurement (normal measurement) on the serving cell:

[0103] In some embodiments, the method includes: the terminal device starts the second measurement of the first cell according to the switching measurement threshold information configured by the mode configuration information and the measurement result of the first measurement, and / or deactivates the first measurement of the first cell; or, the terminal device continues the first measurement of the first cell according to the switching measurement threshold information configured by the mode configuration information and the measurement result of the first measurement.

[0104] As an example, the first configuration information (S-measurement configuration information) includes mode configuration information, and the mode configuration information includes switching measurement threshold information. After the terminal device performs a first measurement on the serving cell (i.e., the first cell) and obtains a predicted value, the terminal device determines to start the second measurement of the first cell based on the comparison result of the predicted value and the switching measurement threshold information. Optionally, the terminal device may continue the first measurement of the first cell; or, the terminal device may deactivate the first measurement of the first cell, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the terminal device. For example, when the predicted value is less than or equal to the switching measurement threshold information, the terminal device determines to start the second measurement of the first cell and deactivate the first measurement of the first cell; when the predicted value is greater than the switching measurement threshold information, the terminal device determines to continue the first measurement of the first cell.

[0105] In some further embodiments, the method includes: the terminal device initiating a second measurement of the first cell based on the first measurement monitoring information, and / or deactivating the first measurement of the first cell; or, the terminal device continuing the first measurement of the first cell based on the first measurement monitoring information.

[0106] In some possible implementations, the above-mentioned first measurement monitoring information includes monitoring threshold information and / or monitoring threshold bias information. The monitoring threshold information can reuse the first measurement threshold information or the second measurement threshold information. In this implementation, the first configuration information may include third indication information, and the third indication information may be used to instruct the terminal device to use the first measurement threshold information or the second measurement threshold information as the monitoring threshold information. It can be understood that at this time, the first measurement monitoring information does not need to be configured with monitoring threshold information. For example, the monitoring threshold information can be AI-based S-measurement threshold information or ordinary S-measurement threshold information. Correspondingly, at this time, the first configuration information (S-measurement configuration information) includes the first measurement threshold information (AI-based S-measurement threshold information) or the second measurement threshold information (ordinary S-measurement threshold information).

[0107] As a possible implementation method, the above-mentioned first measurement monitoring information includes monitoring threshold information and / or monitoring threshold bias information. The first measurement monitoring information needs to explicitly carry monitoring threshold information. The method includes: the terminal device determines to start the second measurement of the first cell and / or deactivate the first measurement of the first cell based on the comparison result of the measurement result of the first measurement and the measurement result of the second measurement with the monitoring threshold information and / or the monitoring threshold bias information; or, the terminal device continues the first measurement of the first cell based on the comparison result of the measurement result of the first measurement and the measurement result of the second measurement with the monitoring threshold information and / or the monitoring threshold bias information.

[0108] As an example, the first measurement monitoring information includes monitoring threshold information (or monitoring threshold information and monitoring threshold bias information), the terminal device performs a first measurement on the service cell (i.e., the first cell) and obtains a predicted value, and the terminal device performs a second measurement on the service cell and obtains an actual value, and the terminal device determines the performance of the first measurement based on the comparison result of the predicted value and the actual value with the monitoring threshold information (or the monitoring threshold information and the monitoring threshold bias information). Furthermore, the terminal device determines whether to perform a second measurement on the service cell and / or whether to deactivate the first measurement on the service cell. For example, when the difference between the predicted value and the actual value is greater than or equal to the monitoring threshold information (or the monitoring threshold information and the monitoring threshold bias information), the terminal device determines that the performance of the first measurement does not meet the requirements of the network device, and the terminal device performs a second measurement on the service cell. Optionally, the terminal device can also deactivate the first measurement of the service cell; when the difference between the predicted value and the measured value is less than or equal to the monitoring threshold information (or the monitoring threshold information and the monitoring threshold bias information), the terminal device determines that the performance of the first measurement can meet the requirements of the network device, and the terminal device continues the first measurement of the service cell.

[0109] As another possible implementation method, the method includes: the terminal device determines to start the second measurement of the first cell based on the comparison result of the measurement result of the first measurement and the measurement result of the second measurement with the monitoring threshold information and / or the monitoring threshold bias information, as well as the trigger time information and / or the trigger number information; optionally, the terminal device may also deactivate the first measurement of the first cell; or, the terminal device continues the first measurement of the first cell based on the comparison result of the measurement result of the first measurement and the measurement result of the second measurement with the monitoring threshold information and / or the monitoring threshold bias information, as well as the trigger time information and / or the trigger number information.

[0110] As an example, the first measurement monitoring information includes monitoring threshold information (or monitoring threshold information and monitoring threshold bias information) and trigger time information and / or trigger number information. For example, for the measurement method shown in Figures 3 and 4 (a method of periodically obtaining measured values ​​and predicted values), within the time corresponding to the trigger time information, the terminal device performs a first measurement on the service cell and obtains a predicted value, and after the terminal device performs a second measurement on the service cell and obtains the measured value, the terminal device determines the performance of the first measurement based on the comparison result of the predicted value and the measured value with the monitoring threshold information (or the monitoring threshold information and the monitoring threshold bias information), and then the terminal device determines whether to deactivate the first measurement of the service cell; or, (within the time corresponding to the trigger time information) the terminal device performs a first measurement on the service cell and obtains a predicted value, and after the terminal device performs a second measurement on the service cell and obtains the measured value, the terminal device determines the performance of the first measurement based on whether the number of comparison results of the predicted value and the measured value with the monitoring threshold information (or the monitoring threshold information and the monitoring threshold bias information) meets the trigger threshold number information, and then the terminal device determines whether to deactivate the first measurement of the service cell.

[0111] For example, the trigger time information is 100ms, and the trigger number information is 2. Within the trigger time information (100ms), when the difference between the predicted value and the measured value is greater than or equal to the monitoring threshold information (or the monitoring threshold information and the monitoring threshold bias information) for 2 times (satisfying the trigger threshold number information), the terminal device determines that the performance of the first measurement does not meet the requirements of the network device, and the terminal device performs the second measurement of the serving cell. Optionally, the terminal device may also deactivate the first measurement of the serving cell; within 100ms, when the difference between the predicted value and the measured value is not or only greater than or equal to the monitoring threshold information (or the monitoring threshold information and the monitoring threshold bias information) for 1 time (not meeting the trigger threshold number information), the terminal device determines that the performance of the first measurement can meet the requirements of the network device, and the terminal device continues the first measurement of the serving cell.

[0112] In some embodiments, the method includes: the terminal device initiating a second measurement of the first cell based on the measurement result of the first measurement and the second measurement threshold information. Optionally, the terminal device may also deactivate the first measurement of the first cell.

[0113] As an example, the first configuration information (S-measurement configuration information) includes the second measurement threshold information (ordinary S-measurement threshold information), but does not include the first measurement threshold information (AI-based S-measurement threshold information). Optionally, the first configuration information may also include second indication information. After the terminal device performs a first measurement on the serving cell and obtains a predicted value, the terminal device may determine whether to perform a second measurement on the serving cell based on whether the predicted value meets the second measurement threshold information. Optionally, the terminal device may also deactivate the first measurement on the serving cell. For example, when the predicted value is less than the second measurement threshold information, the terminal device determines that the performance of the first measurement does not meet the requirements of the network device, and the terminal device performs the second measurement on the serving cell. Optionally, the terminal device may also deactivate the first measurement on the serving cell; when the predicted value is greater than or equal to the second measurement threshold information, the terminal device determines that the performance of the first measurement can meet the requirements of the network device, and the terminal device continues the first measurement of the first cell.

[0114] The above describes how the terminal device initiates and / or deactivates the first measurement and / or the second measurement for the serving cell. The following describes how the terminal device initiates the first measurement and / or the second measurement for the non-serving cell.

[0115] In some embodiments, the method includes: the terminal device initiating a first measurement of the second cell according to the first measurement threshold information or the second measurement threshold information, and / or initiating a second measurement of the second cell.

[0116] For example, according to the aforementioned method, the terminal device can determine the measurement mode of the service cell and obtain a predicted value or a measured value. The terminal device determines whether to start the first measurement and / or second measurement of the non-service cell based on the comparison result of the predicted value or the measured value and the configured first measurement threshold information or the second measurement threshold information.

[0117] As a possible implementation, the method includes: the terminal device initiates the first measurement of the second cell according to the measurement result of the first measurement and the first measurement threshold information, and / or initiates the second measurement of the second cell; or, the terminal device initiates the first measurement of the second cell according to the measurement result of the first measurement and the second measurement threshold information, and / or initiates the second measurement of the second cell; it can be understood that if the terminal device also determines to perform the second measurement of the serving cell according to the measurement result of the first measurement and the second measurement threshold information. As an example, the method can be: the terminal device determines whether to initiate the second measurement of the serving cell according to the comparison result of the measurement result of the first measurement and the second measurement threshold information, and determines whether to initiate the first measurement and / or second measurement of the second cell; or, the terminal device initiates the first measurement of the second cell according to the measurement result of the second measurement and the second measurement threshold information, and / or initiates the second measurement of the second cell.

[0118] As an example, the first configuration information (S-measurement configuration information) includes the first measurement threshold information (AI-based S-measurement threshold information), the terminal device determines to continue the first measurement of the serving cell, and the terminal device determines whether to start the first measurement and / or the second measurement of the non-serving cell based on the comparison result of the predicted value and the first measurement threshold information (AI-based S-measurement threshold information). For example, the first configuration information (S-measurement configuration information) includes the first measurement threshold information (AI-based S-measurement threshold information), when the predicted value is greater than or equal to the first measurement threshold information (AI-based S-measurement threshold information), the terminal device determines not to start the first measurement for the non-serving cell, or not to start the second measurement for the non-serving cell; when the predicted value is less than or equal to the first measurement threshold information (AI-based S-measurement threshold information), the terminal device determines to start the first measurement and / or the second measurement for the non-serving cell.

[0119] As another example, the first configuration information (S-measurement configuration information) includes second measurement threshold information (ordinary S-measurement threshold information). The terminal device determines whether to start the first measurement and / or second measurement of the non-service cell based on the comparison result between the predicted value and the second measurement threshold information (ordinary S-measurement threshold information). For example, the first configuration information (S-measurement configuration information) includes the second measurement threshold information (ordinary S-measurement threshold information). When the predicted value is greater than or equal to the second measurement threshold information (ordinary S-measurement threshold information), the terminal device determines not to start the first measurement for the non-service cell, or not to start the second measurement for the non-service cell; when the predicted value is less than or equal to the second measurement threshold information (ordinary S-measurement threshold information), the terminal device determines to start the first measurement and / or second measurement for the non-service cell.

[0120] As another example, the first configuration information (S-measurement configuration information) includes second measurement threshold information (ordinary S-measurement threshold information). The terminal device determines whether to start the second measurement of the serving cell, and determines whether to start the first measurement and / or second measurement of the non-serving cell based on the comparison result between the predicted value and the second measurement threshold information (ordinary S-measurement threshold information). For example, the first configuration information (S-measurement configuration information) includes the second measurement threshold information (ordinary S-measurement threshold information). When the predicted value is greater than or equal to the second measurement threshold information (ordinary S-measurement threshold information), the terminal device determines not to start the second measurement for the serving cell, and the terminal device determines not to start the first measurement and second measurement for the non-serving cell; when the predicted value is less than or equal to the second measurement threshold information (ordinary S-measurement threshold information), the terminal device determines to start the second measurement for the serving cell, and the terminal device determines to start the first measurement and / or second measurement for the non-serving cell.

[0121] In some embodiments, the method includes: the terminal device receives second configuration information, the terminal device initiates a first measurement of the second cell according to the second configuration information, or the terminal device initiates a second measurement of the second cell according to the second configuration information. The second configuration information can be at the measurement object level, the frequency level, the cell level, the measurement identifier level, or can be measurement configuration information applicable to all non-service cells, and this application does not limit this. The description of the content of the second configuration information can refer to the relevant description of the first configuration information and will not be repeated here.

[0122] The second configuration information and the first configuration information can be carried in the same message or in different messages, and this application does not limit this.

[0123] After receiving the second configuration information, the terminal device initiates the first measurement of the non-serving cell; alternatively, the terminal device initiates the first measurement of the non-serving cell according to the fourth indication information of the second configuration information. The fourth indication information can refer to the description of the first indication information and will not be repeated here. The specific content of the terminal device performing the first measurement on the non-serving cell can refer to the aforementioned description of performing the first measurement on the serving cell and will not be repeated here.

[0124] When the terminal device determines to perform the first measurement on the non-service cell, whether the terminal device starts the second measurement on the non-service cell and whether to deactivate the first measurement on the non-service cell and other related contents can be referred to the aforementioned related content description (such as Figures 3 to 5 and other related contents), which will not be repeated here.

[0125] The following describes in detail the specific content of the "first configuration information" of this application and the user behavior of the terminal device in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0126] (1) Example 1

[0127] An example is given in which the first configuration information (S-measurement configuration information) includes mode configuration information, and the mode configuration information includes switching measurement threshold information.

[0128] FIG6 is a schematic diagram of performing a first measurement and / or a second measurement on a first cell and / or a second cell according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0129] For example, as shown in Figure 6, after receiving the first configuration information, the terminal device performs an AI-based measurement (i.e., the first measurement) on the serving cell (i.e., the first cell) to obtain a predicted value. The terminal device determines whether to perform a normal measurement (i.e., the second measurement) on the serving cell based on the comparison result of the predicted value and the switching measurement threshold information. For example, when the predicted value is greater than or equal to the switching measurement threshold information, the terminal device does not perform a normal measurement on the serving cell; when the predicted value is less than or equal to the switching measurement threshold information, the terminal device performs a normal measurement on the serving cell. Optionally, the terminal device can also determine whether to deactivate the AI-based measurement (i.e., the first measurement) on the serving cell.

[0130] Optionally, the first configuration information also includes second measurement threshold information (ordinary S-measurement threshold information). Taking Figure 6 as an example, after the terminal device determines to perform ordinary measurement on the serving cell according to the aforementioned method, it can further determine whether to start AI-based measurement and / or ordinary measurement of the non-serving cell (i.e., the second cell) based on the second measurement threshold information (ordinary S-measurement threshold information). For example, when the measured value is less than or equal to the second measurement threshold information (ordinary S-measurement threshold information), the terminal device starts AI-based measurement and / or ordinary measurement of the non-serving cell.

[0131] Thus, the terminal device can perform the first measurement (AI-based measurement) on the first cell (service cell) and / or the second cell (non-service cell), and track the performance of the first measurement (AI-based measurement), so as to timely adjust the acquisition mode of the measurement results, ensure the accuracy of the measurement results, and further improve the reliability of mobility.

[0132] (II) Example 2

[0133] The first configuration information (S-measurement configuration information) includes mode configuration information and first measurement monitoring information; and the first configuration information (S-measurement configuration information) includes first measurement threshold information (AI-based S-measurement threshold information) and / or second measurement threshold information (normal S-measurement threshold information).

[0134] After receiving the first configuration information, the terminal device performs AI-based measurement on the service cell to obtain a predicted value. Based on the mode configuration information, the terminal device determines to start normal measurement on the service cell and obtains the corresponding measured value; the terminal device determines to start normal measurement on the service cell based on the measured value and the predicted value, as well as the first measurement monitoring information; optionally, the terminal device can also deactivate the AI-based measurement of the service cell; or, the terminal device determines to continue to perform AI-based measurement on the service cell.

[0135] FIG7 is another schematic diagram of performing a first measurement and / or a second measurement on a first cell and / or a second cell according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0136] Take the case where the first measurement monitoring information includes monitoring threshold bias information, and the first configuration information (S-measurement configuration information) includes the first measurement threshold information (AI-based S-measurement threshold information) as an example. As shown in Figure 7, the terminal device obtains the predicted value and the measured value according to the mode configuration information. When the difference between the measured value and the predicted value is less than or equal to the monitoring threshold bias information, the terminal device continues to perform AI-based measurement on the serving cell; further, when the predicted value is greater than or equal to the first measurement threshold information, AI-based measurement and / or ordinary measurement is not performed on the non-serving cell; when the predicted value is less than or equal to the first measurement threshold information, AI-based measurement and / or ordinary measurement is performed on the non-serving cell.

[0137] Thus, the terminal device can perform the first measurement (AI-based measurement) on the first cell (service cell) and / or the second cell (non-service cell), and track the performance of the first measurement (AI-based measurement), so as to timely adjust the acquisition mode of the measurement results, ensure the accuracy of the measurement results, and further improve the reliability of mobility.

[0138] It should be noted that Examples 1 and 2 only provide examples of the content of the S-measurement configuration information. The S-measurement configuration information may also include other possible configuration combination information. The corresponding implementation methods can refer to the aforementioned related descriptions and perform similar processing, which are not enumerated here one by one.

For example, the above embodiments may be used individually, or one or more of the above embodiments may be combined.

[0140] According to the above embodiment, the terminal device initiates a first measurement of the first cell according to the first configuration information, and / or initiates a second measurement of the first cell. As a result, the terminal device can perform the first measurement (AI-based measurement) on the first cell (serving cell) and / or the second cell (non-serving cell), and track the performance of the first measurement (AI-based measurement), so as to be able to timely adjust the acquisition mode of the measurement results, ensure the accuracy of the measurement results, and further improve the reliability of mobility.
