[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202410171214.9, filed on February 6, 2024, entitled “Processing method, device and terminal for execution conditions”, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical Field

[0003] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular to a method, device, and terminal for processing execution conditions. Background Art

[0004] In related technologies, when a subsequent Conditional PSCell Addition / Change (SCPAC) is configured, a terminal needs to evaluate execution conditions of candidate cells.

[0005] However, two execution conditions may appear at the same time in a candidate cell. For example, for master node-initiated subsequent CPAC (MN-initiated subsequent CPAC), the MN will configure the initial execution condition (i.e., condExecutionCond) for each candidate cell; the terminal evaluates the condExecutionCond of each candidate cell and performs the first CPAC for the target candidate cell that satisfies the condExecutionCond. After accessing the target candidate cell, the terminal needs to evaluate each candidate cell based on the execution condition (i.e., condExecutionCondSCG) pre-configured by the target candidate cell for each candidate cell. Since each candidate cell has a condExecutionCond configured by the MN, the same candidate cell may have both condExecutionCond and condExecutionCondSCG.

[0006] Therefore, how the terminal processes the two execution conditions corresponding to the candidate cells is a problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the Invention

[0112] In order to facilitate a clearer understanding of the various embodiments of the present disclosure, some relevant knowledge is first introduced.

[0113] 1. SCPAC (also known as Subsequent CPAC)

[0114] In the R17 Multi-RAT Dual Connectivity (MRDC) project, the Conditional PSCell Addition / Change (CPAC) is discussed, that is, pre-configuring multiple candidate primary secondary cell (PSCell) configuration information for the UE, and configuring corresponding execution conditions for each candidate PSCell. When the UE receives the CPAC configuration information, the UE starts to evaluate the CPAC execution conditions. When the UE evaluates that the execution conditions are met, the UE will execute the PSCell change to access the target candidate PSCell that meets the execution conditions. After the UE successfully executes the PSCell change to access the candidate target cell, the UE will release the stored CPAC configuration information. Among them, for the CPAC scenario triggered by the MN, the execution condition is configured by the MN, and the execution condition is condExecutionCond, refer to the measurement configuration of the MN; for the conditional PSCell change (CPC) scenario triggered by the SN, the execution condition is generated by the SN, and the execution condition is condExecutionCondSCG, refer to the measurement configuration of the SCG. R17 For the same candidate cell, there will only be one execution condition, condExecutionCond or condExecutionCondSCG.

[0115] In the Release 18 NR mobility project, considering that Release 17 CPAC deletes the CPAC configuration after each PSCell change, if the network device wants the UE to continue CPAC, the network device needs to reconfigure and reinitialize the CPAC process, which will increase air interface signaling overhead and latency. Therefore, Release 18 supports subsequent CPAC. That is, after the UE successfully executes CPAC, the UE does not release the CPAC configuration, but continues to evaluate the CPAC execution conditions and continue with subsequent CPAC.

[0116] In R18, multiple PSCell configuration information is pre-configured for the UE. For MN-initiated subsequent CPAC, the MN configures the initial execution conditions, and the candidate SN (i.e., candidate PSCell) configures the subsequent execution conditions. The subsequent execution conditions are only used when the UE accesses this candidate SN (candidate PSCell). For SN-initiated subsequent CPAC, the source SN configures the initial execution conditions, and the candidate SN (candidate PSCell) configures the subsequent execution conditions. The subsequent execution conditions are only used when the UE accesses this candidate SN (candidate PSCell). After each CPAC execution, the UE updates the execution conditions pre-configured by the target SN (target PSCell) for the candidate SN (candidate PSCell) to condExecutionCondSCG for subsequent execution condition evaluation; the target SN (target PSCell) is the PSCell currently accessed by the UE.

[0117] However, according to the execution condition update mechanism in R18, a subsequent CPAC candidate cell may have two execution conditions coexisting. For example, for MN-initiated subsequent CPAC, the MN will configure the initial execution conditions for each candidate PSCell, namely condExecutionCond. If the UE evaluates that the execution conditions of the target PSCell are met, it will execute the first CPAC and access the target PSCell. Subsequently, when the UE evaluates each candidate PSCell, it will update the pre-configured execution conditions of the target SN (i.e., the target PSCell) to condExecutionCondSCG. Since the previous condExecutionCond execution conditions of each candidate cell have not been deleted, there is a scenario where two execution conditions exist simultaneously in the candidate cell. At this point, the UE needs to perform corresponding actions to complete the evaluation of the execution conditions of the candidate cell.

[0118] In summary, when the UE is performing subsequent CPAC, if a candidate cell has two execution conditions at the same time, how the UE handles the two execution conditions of the candidate cell is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0119] The execution condition processing method, device, and terminal provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure solve the problem of how the terminal should process the two execution conditions when the first execution condition and the second execution condition corresponding to the candidate cell exist simultaneously during the SCPAC execution condition evaluation process.

[0120] FIG1 is a flow chart of a method for processing an execution condition provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method is applied to a terminal. As shown in FIG1 , the method includes step 101, wherein:

[0121] Step 101: When the terminal is configured with an SCPAC configuration, perform a target operation on a first execution condition and / or a second execution condition corresponding to an SCPAC candidate cell based on target information; wherein the target information is used to assist the terminal in determining the target operation, and the target operation includes releasing and / or evaluating at least one of the first execution condition and the second execution condition; the first execution condition is an execution condition configured by the mobile station (MN), and the second execution condition is an execution condition configured by the mobile station (SN).

[0122] It should be noted that the execution condition processing method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure is applicable to situations where a terminal is configured with SCPAC and two execution conditions (i.e., a first execution condition and a second execution condition) are simultaneously present for a candidate cell. When the terminal is configured with SCPAC, SCPAC can be performed on the candidate cell based on the SCPAC configuration. The candidate cell refers to a SCPAC candidate cell. For ease of description, the candidate cells referred to below all refer to SCPAC candidate cells.

[0123] In actual application, the terminal can perform target operations on the first execution condition and / or the second execution condition corresponding to all or part of the candidate cells, where if the source cell is a candidate cell among the candidate cells, or the source cell is configured as a candidate cell, all candidate cells may be all candidate cells including the source cell, or may be all other candidate cells excluding the source cell.

[0124] Specifically, the first execution condition may be an execution condition configured by the MN, ie, condExecutionCond; and the second execution condition may be an execution condition configured by the candidate SN or the source SN, ie, condExecutionCondSCG.

[0125] The addition or change of the primary cell of the continuous conditional secondary cell group can also be called subsequent CPAC or SCPAC. That is, subsequent CPAC and SCPAC in this patent both refer to the addition or change of the primary cell of the continuous conditional secondary cell group.

[0126] The existence of two execution conditions for the candidate cell at the same time means that two execution conditions can be evaluated for the same subsequent CPAC candidate cell (candidate PSCell), or two execution conditions are configured for the same subsequent CPAC candidate cell (candidate PSCell);

[0127] The above candidate cells are subsequent CPAC candidate cells configured in the Master Cell Group (MCG) conditional reconfiguration UE variable.

[0128] Based on the target information, the terminal can determine which target operation should be performed for the first execution condition and the second execution condition corresponding to the candidate cell. That is, if both the first execution condition and the second execution condition exist for the candidate cell, the terminal can determine to release the first execution condition and / or the second execution condition based on the target information, or evaluate the first execution condition and / or the second execution condition.

[0129] The execution condition processing method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the terminal is configured with SCPAC configuration, if the candidate cell simultaneously has a first execution condition configured for it by the MN and a second execution condition configured for it by the SN, then the terminal releases and / or evaluates at least one of the first execution condition and the second execution condition corresponding to the candidate cell based on the target information, thereby completing the processing of the execution condition of the candidate cell; through the above method, the problem of how the terminal should process the two execution conditions when the terminal is configured with SCPAC configuration and the first execution condition and the second execution condition corresponding to the candidate cell simultaneously exist is solved.

[0130] In some embodiments, the target information includes at least one of the following:

[0131] a) first target information, used to assist the terminal in determining to release the first execution condition and / or the second execution condition.

[0132] b) second target information, used to assist the terminal in determining and evaluating the first execution condition and / or the second execution condition.

[0133] In some embodiments, the first target information includes at least one of the following:

[0134] a) a target event, used to assist the terminal in determining whether to release the first execution condition and / or the second execution condition when executing the target event.

[0135] b) A first rule is used to assist the terminal in determining to release the first execution condition when the first execution condition and the second execution condition exist in the candidate cell.

[0136] c) A second rule is used to assist the terminal in determining whether to release the first execution condition based on the number of times the terminal executes SCPAC.

[0137] d) target configuration information, used to assist the terminal in determining whether to release the first execution condition or the second execution condition.

[0138] In some embodiments, the target event includes at least one of the following:

[0139] a) The first target event indicates that the terminal performs secondary cell group (SCG) synchronization reconfiguration.

[0140] b) A second target event indicates that the terminal performs SCG synchronization reconfiguration, and the SCG synchronization reconfiguration occurs because the terminal performs SCPAC.

[0141] c) A third target event indicates that the terminal performs SCG synchronization reconfiguration, and the currently accessed cell does not provide the candidate cell with an execution condition associated with the measurement configuration of the currently accessed cell.

[0142] d) A fourth target event indicates that the terminal executes a secondary cell group release (SCG release) or the terminal detects a secondary cell group failure (SCG failure).

[0143] In some embodiments, performing the target operation on the first execution condition and / or the second execution condition corresponding to the SCPAC candidate cell based on the target information can be specifically implemented by the following steps:

[0144] Based on the target event, the first execution condition and / or the second execution condition is released.

[0145] In some embodiments, releasing the first execution condition and / or the second execution condition based on the target event can be implemented in at least one of the following ways:

[0146] Mode 1: When the target event is the first target event, the first execution condition and / or the second execution condition is released.

[0147] Specifically, the terminal is first configured with subsequent CPAC configuration information, which can be MN-initiated subsequent CPAC configuration. The UE performs SCG synchronous reconfiguration, where the SCG synchronous reconfiguration can be a traditional PSCell addition, a traditional PSCell change, a traditional conditional PSCell addition (CPA), a traditional conditional PSCell change (CPC), or subsequent CPAC.

[0148] It should be noted that SCG synchronous reconfiguration means that when the terminal executes subsequent CPAC, if the currently accessed target SN (target PSCell) has configured a second execution condition for a candidate cell that needs to be evaluated (the second execution condition can be pre-configured), the terminal will delete the currently stored first execution condition and / or second execution condition, and then configure the new second execution condition configured by the target SN (target PSCell) for the candidate cell.

[0149] The synchronous reconfiguration of the SCG ensures that there are no multiple or invalid execution conditions when the target PSCell is a subsequent CPAC candidate cell. However, if the target PSCell is not a subsequent CPAC candidate cell, triggering the subsequent CPAC evaluation requires the network-side equipment to reconfigure the execution conditions of the initial evaluation.

[0150] After performing SCG synchronization reconfiguration, the terminal performs any of the following operations for subsequent CPAC candidate cells:

[0151] Operation 1: If the candidate cell is configured with the first execution condition, the terminal releases the current first execution condition of the candidate cell. That is, if the terminal determines that the first execution condition is stored at this time, the stored first execution condition is released.

[0152] or,

[0153] Operation 2: If the candidate cell is configured with the second execution condition, the terminal releases the second execution condition currently in the candidate cell. That is, if the terminal determines that the second execution condition is stored at this time, the stored second execution condition is released.

[0154] or,

[0155] Operation 3: If the candidate cell is configured with a first execution condition, the terminal releases the current first execution condition of the candidate cell; and if the candidate cell is configured with a second execution condition, the candidate cell releases the current second execution condition. That is, if the UE determines that the first execution condition and the second execution condition are currently stored, the stored first execution condition and the second execution condition are released.

[0156] The above method 1 is further described below with reference to specific embodiment 1:

[0157] Example 1: Specific examples are as follows:

[0158] The UE is configured with MN-initiated subsequent CPAC configuration. The current SN / SCG / PSCell is S0, and there are three subsequent CPAC candidate cells C1, C2, and C3. The execution conditions are configured as follows:

[0159] The MN configures the first execution condition for each candidate cell, which are E10, E20, and E30, and does not configure the second execution condition;

[0160] Candidate cell C1 configures execution conditions E21 and E31 for candidate cells C2 and C3;

[0161] Candidate cell C2 configures execution conditions E11 and E32 for candidate cells C1 and C3;

[0162] The candidate cell C3 configures execution conditions E12 and E22 for the candidate cells C1 and C2.

[0163] The UE evaluates the first execution condition and the following occurs:

[0164] Case 1: The UE receives a traditional PSCell change command or traditional CPC and performs condition evaluation on each cell. The evaluation result shows that cell C4 meets the execution conditions. The UE then executes the traditional PSCell change or traditional CPC to access cell C4. The UE determines that cell C4 currently only has the first execution condition and releases the first execution conditions E10, E20, and E30. If the UE subsequently wishes to evaluate subsequent CPAC execution conditions and execute subsequent CPAC, the network equipment must reconfigure the first or second execution conditions for candidate cells C1, C2, and C3.

[0165] Case 2: The UE evaluates that the first execution condition E20 of the subsequent CPAC candidate cell C2 is met, and the UE executes subsequent CPAC to access candidate cell C2. The UE determines that cell C2 currently only has the first execution condition, and the UE releases the first execution conditions of candidate cells C1, C2, and C3. The UE subsequently sets the second execution conditions of cells C1 and C3 to E11 and E32, and the UE subsequently evaluates E11 and E32. The UE subsequently evaluates that the second execution condition E11 of candidate cell C1 is met, and the UE executes subsequent CPAC to access candidate cell C1. The UE determines that the current candidate cells C1 and C3 only have the second execution condition, and the UE releases the second execution conditions of candidate cells C1 and C3. The UE subsequently updates the second execution conditions of C2 and C3 to E21 and E31, and the UE subsequently evaluates E21 and E31.

[0166] Mode 2: When the target event is the second target event, the first execution condition is released.

[0167] Specifically, the terminal is first configured with subsequent CPAC configuration information. After the terminal performs SCG synchronization reconfiguration (this SCG synchronization reconfiguration occurs due to the terminal performing subsequent CPAC), for the subsequent CPAC candidate cell, if the candidate cell is configured with the first execution condition, the terminal releases the first execution condition.

[0168] The above method 2 is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiment 2:

[0169] Example 2: Taking the subsequent CPAC configuration of the above-mentioned Example 1 as an example, when the UE evaluates the first execution conditions of each candidate cell of the subsequent CPAC, and the first execution condition of the candidate cell C2 is met, the UE executes the subsequent CPAC to access the candidate cell C2, and the UE releases the first execution conditions E10, E20, and E30 of the candidate cells C1, C2, and C3.

[0170] Mode 3: When the target event is the third target event, the second execution condition is released.

[0171] Specifically, when the terminal performs SCG synchronization reconfiguration, if the currently accessed target PSCell does not provide the execution condition associated with the target PSCell measurement configuration for each candidate cell, the terminal releases the second execution condition.

[0172] For example, the UE is first configured with a subsequent CPAC configuration (MN-initiated subsequent CPAC configuration). After the UE performs SCG synchronous reconfiguration (which can be traditional PSCell addition, traditional PSCell change, traditional CPA, traditional CPC or subsequent CPAC), for the subsequent CPAC candidate cell, the UE determines whether the target SN (i.e., the target PSCell) provides an execution condition associated with the target PSCell measurement configuration for this candidate cell. If not configured, the UE releases the second execution condition.

[0173] The above method 3 is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiment 3:

[0174] Example 3: Taking the subsequent CPAC configuration of Example 1 above as an example, the UE executes subsequent CPAC several times and currently accesses the candidate cell C2. The UE evaluates the second execution conditions E11 and E32 of the candidate cells C1 and C3, and the following situation occurs:

[0175] Case 1: The UE receives a legacy PSCell change command or a legacy CPC execution condition evaluation and determines that the execution condition for C4 is met. The UE executes the legacy PSCell change or legacy CPC to cell C4. The UE determines that C4 does not have execution conditions associated with the C4 measurement configuration configured for subsequent CPAC candidate cells C1, C2, and C3. The UE releases the second execution condition for each candidate cell.

[0176] Case 2: The UE evaluates that the second execution condition of subsequent CPAC candidate cell C1 is met, and the UE executes subsequent CPAC access to candidate cell C1. The UE determines that C1 is configured with execution conditions associated with the measurement configuration of C1 for subsequent CPAC candidate cells C2 and C3. The UE does not release the second execution conditions for candidate cells C2 and C3.

[0177] Mode 4: When the target event is the fourth target event, the second execution condition is released.

[0178] Specifically, when executing PSCell release or detecting SCG failure, if there is a stored second execution condition, the terminal releases the second execution condition.

[0179] For example, when the UE is configured with subsequent CPAC configuration (which can be MN-initiated subsequent CPAC configuration), and the UE executes PSCell (SCG) release or the UE detects SCG failure, the UE determines whether there is a stored second execution condition. If there is a stored second execution condition, the UE releases the second execution condition.

[0180] The above-mentioned method 4 is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiment 4:

[0181] Example 4: Taking the subsequent CPAC configuration of Example 1 above as an example, the UE executes subsequent CPAC several times and currently accesses the candidate cell C2. The UE evaluates the second execution conditions E11 and E32 of the candidate cells C1 and C3, and the following situation occurs:

[0182] Case 1: The UE receives a PSCell (SCG) release command and executes the PSCell (SCG) release command. The UE determines that each candidate cell currently stores a second execution condition, and the UE releases the second execution condition of each candidate cell.

[0183] Case 2: The UE detects that an SCG failure has occurred, and the UE determines that each candidate cell currently stores a second execution condition. The UE releases the second execution condition of each candidate cell.

[0184] In some embodiments, performing the target operation on the first execution condition and / or the second execution condition corresponding to the SCPAC candidate cell based on the target information may also be implemented by the following methods 5-7:

[0185] Mode 5: When the first execution condition and the second execution condition exist in the candidate cell, release the first execution condition or the second execution condition based on the first rule.

[0186] Specifically, when the terminal is performing condition evaluation, if two execution conditions exist simultaneously for the candidate cell, the terminal will automatically release one of the execution conditions.

[0187] For example, the UE is configured with subsequent CPAC configuration (which may be MN-initiated subsequent CPAC configuration), and the UE performs condition evaluation. If the UE determines that two execution conditions exist simultaneously in the candidate cell, the UE will automatically release one of the execution conditions, such as the first execution condition.

[0188] Alternatively, optionally, the UE is configured with subsequent CPAC configuration (which may be MN-initiated subsequent CPAC configuration), and the UE performs condition evaluation. If the UE determines that two execution conditions exist simultaneously in the candidate cell, the UE will release the first execution condition.

[0189] The above method 5 is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiment 5:

[0190] Example 5: Taking the subsequent CPAC configuration of Example 1 above as an example, when the UE evaluates the first execution conditions of each candidate cell for subsequent CPAC and the first execution condition of candidate cell C2 is met, the UE executes subsequent CPAC to access candidate cell C2. The UE sets the second execution conditions of candidate cells C1 and C3 to E11 and E32, respectively. The UE determines that candidate cells C1 and C3 now have two execution conditions, namely the first execution condition and the second execution condition; the UE then automatically releases the first execution condition of candidate cells C1 and C3, or the UE automatically releases the second execution condition of candidate cells C1 and C3.

[0191] Mode 6: When the terminal has executed SCPAC, release the first execution condition based on the second rule.

[0192] Specifically, the terminal may determine whether the terminal has executed SCPAC based on a certain state or indication, and then determine whether to release the first execution condition.

[0193] For example, the UE is configured with a subsequent CPAC configuration (which may be an MN-initiated subsequent CPAC configuration). When the UE performs an execution condition evaluation, if the UE determines that the first execution condition needs to be released based on the status or indication, the UE releases the first execution condition; if the UE determines that the first execution condition does not need to be released, the UE does not release the first execution condition; wherein the status or indication is used to determine whether the UE is executing subsequent CPAC for the first time.

[0194] In practical applications, an indication message can be introduced to indicate whether this subsequent CPAC is the first execution of the subsequent CPAC. Alternatively, the UE maintains a variable that is set to an initial state value of 0 each time the UE receives a subsequent CPAC configuration. After the UE completes a subsequent CPAC access, the state value is set to 1. The network can also explicitly configure this state value to be 0. If the network updates the subsequent CPAC configuration, the UE will determine this state value when evaluating the subsequent CPAC execution condition. If this state value is not 0, the UE releases the first execution condition. If this state value is 0, the UE does not release the first execution condition.

[0195] The above-mentioned method 6 is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiment 6:

[0196] Example 6: Taking the subsequent CPAC configuration of Example 1 as an example, Example 6 may have the following situations:

[0197] Case 1: When the UE begins condition evaluation, it determines based on the indication information that this is the first subsequent CPAC execution. In this case, the UE does not release the first execution condition for the candidate cell. The UE evaluates that the first execution condition for subsequent CPAC candidate cell C2 is met, and the UE performs subsequent CPAC access to candidate cell C2. Alternatively, when the UE performs evaluation, it determines based on the indication information that this is not the first subsequent CPAC execution. In this case, the UE releases the first execution condition. The indication information can be sent by the network each time or preconfigured by the network.

[0198] Case 2: The UE receives the subsequent CPAC execution condition and initializes the state quantity to 0. The UE starts to evaluate the execution conditions of each candidate cell. If the state quantity is determined to be 0, the UE does not release the first execution condition of each candidate cell. The UE evaluates that the first execution condition of the subsequent CPAC candidate cell C2 is met. The UE executes the subsequent CPAC to access the candidate cell C2. The UE sets the state quantity to 1. When the UE evaluates, it determines that the state quantity is 1, and the UE releases the first execution condition. Subsequently, the UE receives the updated subsequent CPAC sent by the network. The UE automatically initializes the state quantity to 0, or the UE initializes the state quantity to 0 according to the state quantity indicated in the network signaling, and continues the subsequent execution condition evaluation process.

[0199] Method 7: Release the first execution condition or the second execution condition based on target configuration information.

[0200] In some embodiments, the target configuration information from the network-side device includes at least one of the following:

[0201] a) First configuration information, indicating that the network-side device has configured an updated first execution condition for the candidate cell.

[0202] b) second configuration information, indicating that the network-side device has configured an updated second execution condition for the candidate cell.

[0203] c) first indication information, indicating that the network-side device instructs the terminal to release the first execution condition or the second execution condition.

[0204] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned method 7 may be implemented in the following situations:

[0205] Scenario 1: When the target configuration information is the first configuration information, the second execution condition is released.

[0206] Specifically, if the network side device configures an updated first execution condition for a candidate cell, and if the terminal stores the second execution condition of the candidate cell, the terminal releases the second execution condition of the candidate cell.

[0207] For example, if a UE is configured with a subsequent CPAC configuration (which may be an MN-initiated subsequent CPAC configuration), and the UE performs conditional evaluation on each candidate cell, the network-side device configures an updated first execution condition for a candidate cell. The UE determines whether a second execution condition for the candidate cell is stored. If so, the UE releases the second execution condition for the candidate cell.

[0208] The above situation 1 is further explained below with reference to specific embodiment 7:

[0209] Example 7: Taking the subsequent CPAC configuration of Example 1 above as an example, the UE has executed subsequent CPAC several times and is currently connected to candidate cell C2. At this time, the UE stores both the first execution condition and the second execution condition for candidate cells C1 and C3. The UE receives the updated first execution condition sent by the network-side device, determines that the second execution conditions for candidate cells C1 and C3 exist, and releases the second execution conditions for candidate cells C1 and C3.

[0210] Scenario 2: When the target configuration information is the second configuration information, the first execution condition is released.

[0211] Specifically, if the network side device configures an updated second execution condition for a candidate cell, if the terminal stores the first execution condition of the candidate cell, the terminal releases the first execution condition of the candidate cell.

[0212] For example, if a UE is configured with a subsequent CPAC configuration (which may be an MN-initiated subsequent CPAC configuration), the UE performs conditional evaluation on each candidate cell. If a network-side device configures an updated second execution condition for a candidate cell, the UE determines whether the first execution condition for the candidate cell is stored. If so, the UE releases the first execution condition for the candidate cell.

[0213] The above situation 2 is further explained below with reference to specific embodiment 8:

[0214] Example 8: Taking the subsequent CPAC configuration of Example 1 above as an example, the UE executes subsequent CPAC several times and is currently connected to candidate cell C2. At this time, the UE stores both the first execution conditions and the second execution conditions for candidate cells C1 and C3. The UE receives the updated second execution conditions sent by the network-side device, determines that the first execution conditions for candidate cells C1 and C3 exist, and releases the first execution conditions for candidate cells C1 and C3.

[0215] Scenario 3: When the target configuration information is the first indication information, and the first indication information indicates that the network-side device instructs the terminal to release the first execution condition, the first execution condition is released.

[0216] Specifically, in this embodiment, the terminal releases a certain execution condition based on the first indication information sent by the network-side device.

[0217] For example, the network-side device sends a signaling to the UE to instruct it to release a certain execution condition of the candidate cell, that is, a first indication information is introduced in the signaling to instruct the UE to release the first execution condition or the second execution condition. When the UE receives the first indication information sent by the network-side device, the UE releases the first execution condition or the second execution condition. It should be noted that the first indication information can be an overall indication information (that is, when the UE receives this indication information, the UE will release the first execution condition or the second execution condition for all candidate cells) or each (per) candidate cell to indicate (that is, when the UE receives this indication information, the UE will release the first execution condition or the second execution condition for a certain candidate cell).

[0218] The above situation 3 is further explained below with reference to specific embodiment 9:

[0219] Taking the subsequent CPAC configuration of the above embodiment 1 as an example, the UE performs condition evaluation on each candidate cell and has the following situations:

[0220] Case 1: The first indication information is overall indication information.

[0221] Specifically, the UE evaluates the first execution conditions E10, E20, and E30 of the subsequent CPAC candidate cells C1, C2, and C3, and the first execution condition E20 of C2 is met. The UE executes subsequent CPAC and accesses the candidate cell C2. The UE receives the first indication information sent by the network side device, indicating the release of the first execution condition or the second execution condition. The UE releases the first execution condition or the second execution condition of the candidate cell C1 and the candidate cell C3.

[0222] Case 2: The first indication information is per candidate cell indication information.

[0223] Specifically, the UE evaluates the first execution conditions E10, E20, and E30 of the subsequent CPAC candidate cells C1, C2, and C3. If the first execution condition E20 of C2 is satisfied, the UE executes subsequent CPAC and accesses candidate cell C2. If the UE determines that the first indication information in the C2-related configuration indicates the release of the first execution condition or the second execution condition, the UE releases the first execution condition or the second execution condition of candidate cells C1 and C3.

[0224] Scenario 4: When the target configuration information is the first indication information, and the first indication information indicates that the network-side device instructs the terminal to release the second execution condition, the second execution condition is released.

[0225] Scenario 4 is similar to the solution of Scenario 3 above, and will not be described again here to avoid repetition.

[0226] In some embodiments, the second target information includes at least one of the following:

[0227] a) First preset information, used to assist the terminal in determining and evaluating the first execution condition or the second execution condition.

[0228] b) A third rule is used to assist the terminal in determining and evaluating the first execution condition and the second execution condition when the first execution condition and the second execution condition exist in the candidate cell.

[0229] In some embodiments, the first preset information includes at least one of the following:

[0230] a) a fourth rule, configured to assist the terminal in determining and evaluating the second execution condition when both the first execution condition and the second execution condition exist in the candidate cell;

[0231] b) a fifth rule, configured to assist the terminal in determining to evaluate the first execution condition or the second execution condition based on the number of times the terminal performs SCPAC;

[0232] c) a sixth rule, configured to assist the terminal in determining and evaluating the first execution condition when the SCG is not currently configured;

[0233] d) A seventh rule is used to assist the terminal in determining whether to evaluate the first execution condition or the second execution condition based on the priorities of the first execution condition and the second execution condition.

[0234] In some embodiments, performing the target operation on the first execution condition and / or the second execution condition corresponding to the SCPAC candidate cell based on the target information may also be implemented by the following methods 8-9:

[0235] Mode 8: Evaluate the first execution condition or the second execution condition based on the first preset information.

[0236] In the above-mentioned method 8, the following situations a to e are included:

[0237] Case a: When the first execution condition and the second execution condition exist in the candidate cell, the second execution condition is evaluated based on the fourth rule.

[0238] Specifically, if two execution conditions exist for a candidate cell at the same time, ie, a first execution condition and a second execution condition, the second execution condition is evaluated.

[0239] For example, the UE is configured with subsequent CPAC configuration (which may be MN-initiated subsequent CPAC configuration), the UE performs condition evaluation, and if the UE determines that two execution conditions exist for the candidate cell at the same time, the UE only evaluates the second execution condition.

[0240] The above situation a is further explained below with reference to specific embodiment 10:

[0241] Taking the subsequent CPAC configuration of Example 1 above as an example, the UE evaluates the first execution conditions E10, E20, and E30 of candidate cells C1, C2, and C3. If the UE finds that the first execution condition E20 of candidate cell C2 is satisfied, the UE executes subsequent CPAC and accesses candidate cell C2. At this point, the UE sets the second execution conditions of candidate cells C1 and C3 to E11 and E32 configured for C2. The UE evaluates the execution conditions and determines that both the first and second execution conditions of candidate cells C1 and C3 exist. The UE then evaluates only the second execution conditions of candidate cells C1 and C3.

[0242] For this solution, if the first execution condition and the second execution condition exist at the same time, the second execution condition is guaranteed to be a valid execution condition. That is, the second execution condition can be deleted after one or more of the following situations occur:

[0243] Case 1: SCG release;

[0244] Case 2: SCG fails;

[0245] Case 3: SCG synchronization reconfiguration is successful;

[0246] When the UE evaluates the execution condition, if the first execution condition and the second execution condition exist at the same time, the UE evaluates the second execution condition because the second execution condition must be a valid execution condition at this time.

[0247] Case 3 includes traditional PSCell addition / change, traditional CPAC, and subsequent CPAC. For subsequent CPAC execution, the invalid second execution condition can be released and the valid second execution condition can be reconfigured.

[0248] Case b: When the terminal has not executed SCPAC, the first execution condition is evaluated based on the fifth rule.

[0249] Case c: When the terminal has executed SCPAC, the second execution condition is evaluated based on the fifth rule.

[0250] Specifically, for scenarios b and c above, if the UE determines that a subsequent CPAC has not been performed, or if the UE determines that this is the first subsequent CPAC execution, the UE will evaluate the first execution condition but not the second execution condition. If the UE determines that a subsequent CPAC has been performed, or if the UE determines that this is not the first subsequent CPAC execution, the UE will evaluate the second execution condition but not the first execution condition.

[0251] For example, if the UE is configured with a subsequent CPAC configuration (which may be an MN-initiated subsequent CPAC configuration), the UE performs a condition evaluation process. When performing the execution condition evaluation, if the UE determines that there are two execution conditions for the candidate cell, that is, for the same subsequent CAPC candidate cell, there are both a first execution condition and a second execution condition that can be evaluated, the UE determines whether this subsequent CPAC is the first subsequent CPAC. If it is the first subsequent CPAC, the UE will evaluate the execution condition configured by the MN instead of the second execution condition; if it is not the first subsequent CPAC, the UE will evaluate the second execution condition instead of the first execution condition.

[0252] The above situations b and c are further explained below with reference to specific embodiment 11:

[0253] Taking the subsequent CPAC configuration of the above embodiment 1 as an example, the UE performs a first execution condition evaluation of each candidate cell, and the following situation occurs:

[0254] Case 1: The UE evaluates that the first execution condition of candidate cell C2 is met. The UE executes subsequent CPAC to access candidate cell C2. The UE sets the second execution conditions of candidate cells C1 and C3 to E11 and E32 configured in C2. During the evaluation, the UE finds that two execution conditions exist. The UE determines that this is not the first subsequent CPAC execution and will only evaluate the second execution conditions of candidate cells C1 and C3.

[0255] Case 2: Based on Case 1 of Example 11, if the UE receives the updated subsequent CPAC configuration sent by the network, the UE performs an execution condition evaluation. During the evaluation, the UE finds that two execution conditions exist. The UE determines that this is the first execution of subsequent CPAC. The UE will only evaluate the first execution condition of candidate cells C1 and C3.

[0256] It should be noted that how the UE determines whether it is the first time to execute subsequent CPAC can refer to the solution of method 6 in the above embodiment, that is, determining whether the UE is executing subsequent CPAC for the first time based on status or indication information.

[0257] Case d: When the terminal is not currently configured with SCG, the first execution condition is evaluated based on the sixth rule.

[0258] Specifically, the UE makes a judgment based on whether there is an SCG currently, that is, if the SCG is not currently configured, the UE will evaluate the first execution condition but not the second execution condition.

[0259] For example, the UE is configured with a subsequent CPAC configuration (which may be an MN-initiated subsequent CPAC configuration), and the UE performs a conditional evaluation process. When the UE performs the conditional evaluation, if it is determined that there are two execution conditions, that is, for the same subsequent CAPC candidate cell, there are both a first execution condition and a second execution condition that can be evaluated, the UE determines whether there is an SCG at this time. If the UE determines that there is no SCG at this time, the UE will evaluate the first execution condition configured by the MN, and will not evaluate the second execution condition configured by the candidate SN (candidate PSCell). It should be noted that if the UE is not configured with an SCG when the subsequent CPAC configuration is received, or the network releases the SCG while the UE is configured with the subsequent CPAC configuration, the UE should currently perform the CPA process.

[0260] The above situation d is further described below with reference to specific embodiment 12:

[0261] Taking the subsequent CPAC configuration of Example 1 above as an example, the UE evaluates the first execution condition of each candidate cell. If the UE evaluates that the first execution condition of candidate cell C2 is satisfied, the UE executes subsequent CPAC to access candidate cell C2. The UE sets the second execution conditions of candidate cells C1 and C3 to E11 and E32 configured for C2. The UE receives an SCG release message sent by the network to release the SCG. When the UE evaluates the execution conditions, it finds that two execution conditions exist, namely, both the first execution condition and the second execution condition exist. The UE determines that there is currently no SCG and only evaluates the first execution conditions of candidate cells C1 and C3.

[0262] Case e: Based on the sixth rule, the execution condition with a higher priority between the first execution condition and the second execution condition is evaluated.

[0263] Specifically, the network side device configures the priority information of the execution condition for the UE. This priority configuration information can be carried in the subsequent CPAC configuration or in a radio resource control (RRC) message that does not carry the subsequent CPAC configuration. There is no restriction here.

[0264] For example, the UE is configured with a subsequent CPAC configuration (which may be an MN-initiated subsequent CPAC configuration), and the UE performs a condition evaluation process. When the UE performs the condition evaluation, if it is determined that there are two execution conditions, that is, for the same subsequent CAPC candidate cell, there are both a first execution condition and a second execution condition that can be evaluated, the UE determines whether the priority of the first execution condition is higher or the priority of the second execution condition is higher.

[0265] If the priority of the first execution condition is higher than the priority of the second execution condition, the UE will evaluate the first execution condition but not the second execution condition; if the priority of the second execution condition is higher than the priority of the first execution condition, the UE will evaluate the second execution condition but not the first execution condition.

[0266] It should be noted that the priority form of the network configuration can be one or more of the following forms:

[0267] Form 1: An indication message indicates that the execution condition configured by the MN has a higher priority, such as using an enumeration type, Enumerated{true};

[0268] Form 2: An indication message indicates that the execution condition configured by the SN has a higher priority, such as using an enumeration type, Enumerated{true};

[0269] Form 3: An indication message indicates that the execution condition of MN or SN has a higher priority, such as using an enumeration type, Enumerated{MN, SN};

[0270] Form 4: The execution condition of the default MN / SN configuration takes precedence over the execution condition of the SN / MN configuration (this form may not be based on network configuration and is the default rule);

[0271] The above situation e is further explained below with reference to specific embodiment 13:

[0272] Example 13: Taking the subsequent CPAC configuration of Example 1 above as an example, the UE has the following conditions:

[0273] Case 1: The network-side device is configured with an overall priority, and the priority of the second execution condition is higher than the priority of the first execution condition. The UE evaluates the first execution condition of each candidate cell. If the UE evaluates that the first execution condition of candidate cell C2 is met, the UE performs subsequent CPAC access to candidate cell C2. The UE sets the second execution conditions of candidate cells C1 and C3 to E11 and E32 configured for C2. The UE evaluates the execution conditions and finds that two execution conditions exist, namely the first execution condition and the second execution condition. Based on the priority, the UE evaluates the second execution conditions of candidate cells C1 and C3.

[0274] Case 2: The network configures per-candidate cell priority. The UE evaluates the first execution condition of each candidate cell. If the UE evaluates that the first execution condition of candidate cell C2 is met, the UE performs subsequent CPAC to access candidate cell C2. The UE sets the second execution conditions of candidate cells C1 and C3 to E11 and E32 configured for C2. The UE evaluates the execution conditions and finds that two execution conditions exist. The UE determines that the second execution condition for candidate cell C2 has a higher priority than the first execution condition. Based on the priority, the UE evaluates the second execution conditions of candidate cells C1 and C3.

[0275] Case 3: The network configures per-candidate cell priority. The UE evaluates the first execution condition of each candidate cell. If the UE evaluates that the first execution condition of candidate cell C2 is met, the UE performs subsequent CPAC to access candidate cell C2. The UE sets the second execution conditions of candidate cells C1 and C3 to E11 and E32 configured for C2. The UE evaluates the execution conditions and finds that two execution conditions exist. The UE determines that the priority of the second execution condition for candidate cell C1 is higher than the priority of the first execution condition. Based on the priority, the UE evaluates the second execution condition for candidate cell C1. The UE determines that the priority of the second execution condition for candidate cell C3 is lower than the priority of the first execution condition. Based on the priority, the UE evaluates the first execution condition for candidate cell C3.

[0276] Mode 9: Based on the third rule, evaluate the first execution condition and the second execution condition.

[0277] In some embodiments, after evaluating the first execution condition and the second execution condition based on the third rule, it is also necessary to determine whether the UE performs SCPAC based on the evaluation result, which is specifically implemented by at least one of the following methods 10-12:

[0278] Mode 10: When an evaluation result of evaluating the first execution condition and the second execution condition is that the second execution condition is satisfied, perform SCPAC.

[0279] Specifically, the UE is configured with a subsequent CPAC configuration (which may be an MN-initiated subsequent CPAC configuration). The UE performs a conditional evaluation process. During the conditional evaluation, if the UE determines that two execution conditions exist simultaneously, that is, for the same subsequent CAPC candidate cell, both a first execution condition and a second execution condition can be evaluated, the UE evaluates both execution conditions simultaneously. The UE performs subsequent CPAC only if the second execution condition is satisfied.

[0280] The above method 10 is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiment 14:

[0281] Example 14: Taking the subsequent CPAC configuration of Example 1 above as an example, the UE evaluates the first execution condition of each candidate cell. If the UE evaluates that the first execution condition of candidate cell C2 is satisfied, the UE performs subsequent CPAC to access candidate cell C2. The UE sets the second execution conditions of candidate cells C1 and C3 to E11 and E32 configured for C2. The UE evaluates the execution conditions and finds that two execution conditions exist, namely, both the first execution condition and the second execution condition. The UE evaluates the first execution condition and the second execution condition simultaneously. The UE performs SCPAC only if the second execution condition is satisfied.

[0282] Mode 11: When an evaluation result of evaluating the first execution condition and the second execution condition is that the first execution condition or the second execution condition is satisfied, perform SCPAC.

[0283] Specifically, when a UE is configured with MN-initiated subsequent CPAC, the UE performs a conditional evaluation process. During the conditional evaluation, if the UE determines that two execution conditions exist simultaneously, that is, both a first execution condition and a second execution condition can be evaluated for the same subsequent CAPC candidate cell, the UE evaluates both execution conditions simultaneously. If the UE determines that either the first execution condition configured by the MN or the second execution condition configured by the candidate SN (candidate PSCell) is satisfied, the UE performs SCPAC.

[0284] The above method 11 is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiment 15:

[0285] Example 15: Taking the subsequent CPAC configuration of Example 1 above as an example, the UE evaluates the first execution condition of each candidate cell. If the UE evaluates that the first execution condition of candidate cell C2 is satisfied, the UE performs subsequent CPAC to access candidate cell C2. The UE sets the second execution conditions of candidate cells C1 and C3 to E11 and E32 configured for C2. The UE evaluates the execution conditions and finds that two execution conditions exist, namely, both the first execution condition and the second execution condition. The UE evaluates the first execution condition and the second execution condition simultaneously. If either of the first execution condition and the second execution condition is satisfied, the UE performs SCPAC.

[0286] Mode 12: When an evaluation result of evaluating the first execution condition and the second execution condition is that both the first execution condition and the second execution condition are satisfied, perform SCPAC.

[0287] Specifically, when a UE is configured with MN-initiated subsequent CPAC, the UE performs a conditional evaluation process. During the conditional evaluation, if the UE determines that two execution conditions exist simultaneously, that is, for the same subsequent CAPC candidate cell, both a first execution condition and a second execution condition can be evaluated, the UE evaluates both execution conditions simultaneously. The UE performs CPAC only when both the first execution condition configured by the MN and the second execution condition configured by the candidate SN (candidate PSCell) are satisfied.

[0288] The above method 12 is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiment 16:

[0289] Example 16: Taking the subsequent CPAC configuration of the above-mentioned Example 1 as an example, the UE evaluates the first execution condition of each candidate cell. If the UE evaluates that the first execution condition of the candidate cell C2 is met, the UE executes subsequent CPAC to access the candidate cell C2. The UE sets the second execution conditions of the candidate cells C1 and C3 to E11 and E32 configured in C2. The UE evaluates the execution conditions and finds that two execution conditions exist, that is, both the first execution condition and the second execution condition exist. The UE evaluates the first execution condition and the second execution condition at the same time. The UE will execute SCPAC only when the first execution condition and the second execution condition are met at the same time.
