[0091] The existing terminal architecture only has a communication module for normal communication, measurement, and calculation, which we also call the main module or main receiver (Main Radio).
[0092] When an existing terminal performs measurement, the terminal's measurement behavior can be adjusted according to the current terminal state, such as measurement enhancement and measurement relaxation. The existing measurement relaxation criteria are as follows:
[0093] In New Radio (NR) networks, the cell reselection relaxation criteria are as follows:
[0094] Low mobility criterion: (SrxlevRef-Srxlev) <SSearchDeltaP。
[0095] Among them, SrxlevRef is the reference Srxlev value (dB) of the current serving cell, Srxlev is the current Srxlev value of the serving cell, Srxlev is the cell selection reception level value, and SSearchDeltaP is the threshold value.
[0096] Not-at-cell-edge criterion: Srxlev>SSearchThresholdP, and, if SSearchThresholdQ is configured, Squal>SSearchThresholdQ.
[0097] Wherein, Squal is the current Squal value (dB) of the serving cell, SSearchThresholdP is the threshold value of Srxlev, and SSearchThresholdQ is the threshold value of Squal.
[0098] In the NR system connected state, the measurement relaxation criteria for Radio Link Monitoring (RLM) or Beam Failure Detection (BFD) are as follows:
[0099] Low mobility criteria:
[0100] In the case of (SS-RSRPRef – SS-RSRP) < SSearchDeltaP-Connected, the terminal in the RRC (Radio Resource Control) connected state meets the low mobility relaxation criterion. Here, SS-RSRPRef is the reference value of the reference signal receiving power (RSRP) of the synchronization signal (SS), SS-RSRP is the measured value of the RSRP of SS, and SSearchDeltaP-Connected is the threshold value in the RRC connected state.
[0101] Good serving cell quality criterion:
[0102] After receiving the configuration of the good serving cell quality criterion, start evaluating the serving cell measurement relaxation criterion for RLM or BFD. When the downlink radio link quality on the resource of the reference signal (RS) of the configured RLM or BFD-RS is better than the threshold Qin + X dB, the good serving cell quality criterion is met. Here, Qin is the specified parameter, and X is the bias value of the parameter for evaluating the good serving cell of RLM or BFD.
[0103] The above measurement relaxation criteria essentially judge the signal quality or terminal location through the RSRP / reference signal receiving quality (RSRQ) / signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) measured by the main communication module, and judge the terminal's moving speed through the change rate of the RSRP / RSRQ measured by the main communication module. When the terminal meets different conditions, different measurement relaxation behaviors can be correspondingly performed.
[0104] Under the NR low-power wake-up signal (LP-WUS) terminal architecture, there is a main receiver responsible for normal communication, measurement, and calculation, and a low-power wake-up signal receiver (LP-WUR) responsible for LP-WUS reception. The LP-WUR is also called an auxiliary module or auxiliary receiver. The introduction of LP-WUR can help the terminal save energy. The terminal determines the terminal behavior by monitoring the LP-WUS signal. When the LP-WUR monitors the LP-WUS signal, the LP-WUR wakes up the main module to send and receive data. Otherwise, the main module can be shut down or enter an extremely deep sleep mode. In related technologies, the measurement results obtained by MR are used to determine whether measurement relaxation can be performed. However, when the MR is in deep sleep, continuing to maintain the measurement will greatly reduce the power saving effect.
[0105] Based on this, in various embodiments of the present application, a terminal receives first information sent by a network device, and the first information is used for measurement relaxation criterion evaluation, including at least one or more of the following: a first timer value; a first quantity; a first threshold; a second threshold; a second timer value; a second quantity; a third threshold; a fourth threshold; a time length; wherein the first threshold and the second threshold represent thresholds corresponding to the measurement quantity obtained by the auxiliary receiver of the terminal; and the third threshold and the fourth threshold represent change thresholds corresponding to the measurement quantity obtained by the auxiliary receiver of the terminal. In the above scheme, when the main receiver of the terminal is in deep sleep, the terminal can perform measurements through the auxiliary receiver, and use the measurement quantity obtained by the auxiliary receiver of the terminal for measurement relaxation criterion evaluation. There is no need to wake up the main receiver for measurement, which can improve energy saving while ensuring the accuracy of measurement relaxation criterion evaluation.
[0106] The present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0107] The present application provides a measurement relaxation method for a terminal. The terminal is equipped with a primary receiver and a secondary receiver. The primary receiver can be referred to as a primary module, primary communication module, Main Radio, or simply MR. The secondary receiver can be referred to as a secondary module, secondary communication module, low-power wake-up signal receiver, Low Power-Wake Up Receiver, or simply LP-WUR. As shown in Figure 1, the method includes:
[0108] Step 101: Receive first information sent by a network device.
[0109] The first information is used to measure the relaxation criterion evaluation, including at least one or more of the following:
[0110] First timer value;
[0111] first quantity;
[0112] a first threshold, where the first threshold represents a threshold corresponding to a measurement value obtained by a secondary receiver of the terminal;
[0113] a second threshold, where the second threshold represents a threshold corresponding to a measurement value obtained by a secondary receiver of the terminal;
[0114] Second timer value;
[0115] second quantity;
[0116] a third threshold, where the third threshold represents a change threshold corresponding to a measurement value obtained by a secondary receiver of the terminal;
[0117] a fourth threshold, where the fourth threshold represents a change threshold corresponding to a measurement value obtained by a secondary receiver of the terminal;
[0118] Length of time.
[0119] In one embodiment, the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation includes a first evaluation and / or a second evaluation; the first evaluation represents that the measurement relaxation evaluation is performed according to a non-cell edge criterion; the second evaluation represents that the measurement relaxation evaluation is performed according to a low mobility criterion.
[0120] Here, the first evaluation can also be understood as a cell quality evaluation with relaxed measurements, a cell quality evaluation, a non-cell edge evaluation, or a non-cell edge criterion evaluation. The second evaluation can also be understood as a terminal speed evaluation with relaxed measurements, a low mobility evaluation, or a low mobility criterion evaluation. The timer value, also referred to as a timer value or timer value, is the maximum count value of the timer. A timer can also be described as a counter or a timer. The time length can be described as a duration, a time period, or a time. The first threshold is different from the second threshold, and the third threshold is different from the fourth threshold.
[0121] It should be noted that one or more of the first timer value, the first quantity, the first threshold, and the second threshold are used for the first evaluation, i.e., the cell quality evaluation for measurement relaxation; and one or more of the second timer value, the second quantity, the third threshold, and the fourth threshold are used for the second evaluation, i.e., the terminal speed evaluation for measurement relaxation. When performing measurement relaxation, the terminal can perform the first evaluation and / or the second evaluation based on the first information sent by the network device, and perform measurement relaxation based on the evaluation results. By designing different parameters for the first evaluation and / or the second evaluation, the terminal can flexibly select parameters for measurement relaxation criterion evaluation in different situations, thereby achieving better energy saving effects while ensuring the accuracy of the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation.
[0122] Upon obtaining the first information, the terminal may perform a measurement relaxation criterion evaluation based on the first information, and determine whether to perform measurement relaxation based on the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation result, thereby improving the energy saving effect of the terminal. Based on this, in one embodiment, a first evaluation and / or a second evaluation is performed based on the first information to obtain a measurement relaxation criterion evaluation result; the first evaluation indicates that the measurement relaxation evaluation is performed based on the non-cell edge criterion; and the second evaluation indicates that the measurement relaxation evaluation is performed based on the low mobility criterion.
[0123] Here, based on the first information received, the terminal can choose to perform only the first evaluation, or only the second evaluation, or the first evaluation and the second evaluation; when the obtained measurement relaxation criterion evaluation result indicates that the terminal only meets the non-cell edge criterion, or the terminal only meets the low mobility criterion, or the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion and the low mobility criterion, the terminal performs measurement relaxation; when the obtained measurement relaxation criterion evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the cell edge criterion and the low mobility criterion, the terminal does not perform measurement relaxation and continues to use the current measurement interval (MG, Measurement Gap) for measurement.
[0124] To improve the flexibility and diversity of the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation, in one embodiment, the first evaluation and / or the second evaluation are performed based on the first information to obtain the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation result, including one or more of the following:
[0125] Performing a first evaluation based on a measurement result of the first measurement quantity to obtain a first evaluation result; the measurement result of the first measurement quantity is obtained by measuring the main receiver of the terminal;
[0126] performing a first evaluation based on a measurement result of a second measurement quantity and the first information to obtain a second evaluation result; the measurement result of the second measurement quantity is obtained by measuring the secondary receiver of the terminal;
[0127] Performing a second evaluation based on a measurement result of a third measurement quantity to obtain a third evaluation result; the measurement result of the third measurement quantity is obtained by measuring the primary receiver of the terminal;
[0128] performing a second evaluation based on a measurement result of a fourth measurement quantity and the first information to obtain a fourth evaluation result; wherein the measurement result of the fourth measurement quantity is obtained by measuring the secondary receiver of the terminal;
[0129] performing a first evaluation based on the measurement result of the second measurement quantity and the first information to obtain a fifth evaluation result;
[0130] A second evaluation is performed based on the measurement result of the fourth measurement quantity and the first information to obtain a sixth evaluation result.
[0131] Here, the first measurement quantity is measured by the primary receiver (e.g., MR), and the first measurement quantity may include RSRP and / or RSRQ and / or SINR; the second measurement quantity is measured by the secondary receiver (e.g., LP-WUR), and the second measurement quantity may include LP-RSRP and / or LP-RSRQ and / or LP-SINR; the third measurement quantity can be measured by the primary receiver, and the measurement result of the third measurement quantity may include the measurement value of RSRP and / or the measurement value of RSRQ and / or the measurement value of SINR, and may also include the change value of RSRP and / or the change value of RSRQ and / or the change value of SINR, and the change value may be described as a change rate, an increment, or a decrease value; the fourth measurement quantity can be measured by the secondary receiver, and the measurement result of the fourth measurement quantity may include the measurement value of LP-RSRP and / or the measurement value of LP-RSRQ and / or the measurement value of LP-SINR, and may also include the change value of LP-RSRP and / or the change value of LP-RSRQ and / or the change value of LP-SINR. The first measurement quantity, the second measurement quantity, the third measurement quantity, and the fourth measurement quantity are determined by the configuration of the terminal and / or the network device. When the measurement results of the first measurement quantity and / or the third measurement quantity are used to evaluate the measurement relaxation criterion, the threshold configured in the existing protocol can be used.
[0132] For example, when the first timer value, the first quantity and the first threshold are included in the first information, the terminal may perform a first evaluation based on the measurement result of the second measurement quantity and the first timer value, the first quantity and the first threshold included in the first information to obtain a second evaluation result.
[0133] For example, when the first information includes the second threshold, the terminal may perform the first evaluation based on the measurement result of the second measurement quantity and the second threshold included in the first information to obtain a fifth evaluation result.
[0134] For example, when the first information includes the second timer value, the second value and the third threshold, the terminal can perform a second evaluation based on the measurement result of the fourth measurement quantity and the second timer value, the second value and the third threshold included in the first information to obtain a fourth evaluation result.
[0135] For example, when the first information includes the fourth threshold, the terminal may perform a second evaluation based on the measurement result of the fourth measurement quantity and the fourth threshold included in the first information to obtain a sixth evaluation result.
[0136] In this embodiment, the terminal can perform a first evaluation and / or a second evaluation based on the measurement results obtained by the primary receiver and / or the measurement results obtained by the secondary receiver to obtain corresponding evaluation results, and then determine whether to perform measurement relaxation based on the evaluation results. The design of different schemes allows the terminal to flexibly select an appropriate scheme for measurement relaxation criterion evaluation in different situations, thereby achieving better energy conservation while ensuring the accuracy of the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation.
[0137] In order to achieve energy saving, in one embodiment, the method further includes one or more of the following:
[0138] When the first evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion, starting a first timer and measuring to obtain a measurement result of a second measurement amount;
[0139] When the third evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, start a second timer to measure and obtain a measurement result of a fourth measurement value;
[0140] When the first condition is met, stopping the first timer and stopping measuring the second measurement quantity;
[0141] When the second condition is met, the second timer is stopped and the measurement of the fourth measurement quantity is stopped.
[0142] Here, if the first evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion, that is, the first measurement value meets (is higher than or not lower than) the threshold of the non-cell edge criterion, the primary receiver can be turned off, or the primary receiver can be put into an extremely deep sleep mode, and the first timer can be started or restarted; alternatively, if the first evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion and the terminal receives an indication sent by the network device, which is used to instruct the terminal to receive a low-power synchronization signal block (LP-SS) sent by the network device (serving cell), then the terminal turns off the primary receiver or the primary receiver of the terminal enters sleep mode, turns on the secondary receiver of the terminal, and starts or restarts the first timer to receive and measure the LP-SS through the secondary receiver of the terminal to reduce power consumption of the terminal; if the first timer is in effect, that is, the current value of the first timer does not reach the first timer value in the first information, the terminal uses the secondary receiver (e.g., LP-WUR) to receive and measure the LP-SS to obtain a measurement result of the second measurement value, and performs a first evaluation based on the measurement result of the second measurement value and the first information to obtain a second evaluation result. When the measurement result of the second measurement quantity meets the first condition, the first timer may be stopped, and the measurement of the second measurement quantity by using the secondary receiver may be stopped.
[0143] If the third evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, that is, the third measurement value meets (is lower than or not higher than) the threshold of the low mobility criterion, the primary receiver may be shut down or placed into an extremely deep sleep mode, and the second timer may be started or restarted. Alternatively, if the third evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion and the terminal receives an instruction from a network device instructing the terminal to receive LP-SS signals sent by the network device (serving cell), the terminal shuts down the primary receiver or places the primary receiver into sleep mode, turns on the secondary receiver, and starts or restarts the second timer to receive and measure the LP-SS signals using the secondary receiver to reduce power consumption. If the second timer is in effect, that is, the current value of the second timer does not reach the second timer value in the first information, the terminal receives and measures the LP-SS signals using the secondary receiver to obtain a measurement result of a fourth measurement value. A second evaluation is performed based on the measurement result of the fourth measurement value and the first information to obtain a fourth evaluation result. If the measurement result of the fourth measurement value meets the second condition, the second timer may be stopped, and measurement of the fourth measurement value using the secondary receiver of the terminal may be stopped.
[0144] In one embodiment, when the first timer expires or the first condition is satisfied, the second evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the non-cell edge criterion;
[0145] When the first timer runs and the first condition is not satisfied, the second evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell-edge criterion.
[0146] To prevent misjudgment, in one embodiment, the first condition includes:
[0147] During the period when the first timer is effective, a first number of consecutive measurement results of the second measurement quantity are lower than the first threshold.
[0148] Here, when the first timer expires or the first condition is currently met, that is, after the main receiver is in a closed or extremely deep sleep mode for a period of time, if the second evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the non-cell edge criterion, in order to ensure the accuracy of the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation while saving energy, it is necessary to wake up the main receiver, and the main receiver performs the first evaluation to further determine whether the terminal needs to relax the measurement. During the period when the first timer is valid and the first condition is met, that is, during the period when the first timer is valid, the measurement results of the second measurement amount of the first number of consecutive times are lower than the first threshold, the second evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the non-cell edge criterion. At this time, the cell signal is weak, and it is necessary to wake up the main receiver, and the main receiver performs the first evaluation to further determine whether the terminal needs to relax the measurement. Among them, lower than can be described as less than. The measurement results of the second measurement amount of the first number of consecutive times are used to eliminate measurement errors or short-term signal anomalies and prevent misjudgment.
[0149] When the first timer runs and the first condition is not met, the second evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion. At this time, it indicates that the cell signal quality is good. The secondary receiver can continue to measure the second measurement quantity and perform measurement relaxation criterion evaluation based on the measurement result of the second measurement quantity.
[0150] The above scheme, through the collaboration between the auxiliary receiver and the main receiver, ensures the accuracy of the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation while ensuring energy saving.
[0151] In one embodiment, when the second timer expires or the second condition is met, the fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion;
[0152] In a case where the second timer runs and the second condition is not satisfied, the fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal satisfies a low mobility criterion.
[0153] To prevent misjudgment, in one embodiment, the second condition includes:
[0154] During the period when the second timer is effective, a second number of consecutive changes in the fourth measurement quantity are higher than the third threshold.
[0155] Here, when the second timer expires or the second condition is currently met, that is, the main receiver is in a closed or extremely deep sleep mode for a period of time, if the fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion, in order to ensure the accuracy of the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation while saving energy, it is necessary to wake up the main receiver, and the main receiver performs a second evaluation to further determine whether the terminal needs to relax the measurement. During the period when the second timer is valid and the second condition is met, that is, during the period when the second timer is valid, the change value of the fourth measurement amount for the second consecutive number is higher than the third threshold, the fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion. At this time, the terminal moving speed is large, and it is necessary to wake up the main receiver, and the main receiver performs a second evaluation to further determine whether the terminal needs to relax the measurement. Among them, higher than can be described as greater than and / or equal to. The measurement results of the second consecutive fourth measurement amount are used to eliminate measurement errors or short-term signal anomalies and prevent misjudgment.
[0156] When the second timer runs and the second condition is not met, the fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion. At this time, it indicates that the terminal is moving slowly or at a low speed. The secondary receiver can continue to measure the fourth measurement quantity and perform measurement relaxation criterion evaluation based on the measurement result of the fourth measurement quantity.
[0157] It should be noted that the change value of the fourth measurement quantity represents the difference between the measurement values of the fourth measurement quantity obtained twice adjacently; wherein, after selecting or reselecting a new cell, or when the signal quality represented by the measurement result of the fourth measurement quantity is greater than the reference signal quality, or the measurement value of the fourth measurement quantity is greater than the reference value, or when the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion within a set period of time, the signal quality represented by the measurement result of the fourth measurement quantity is set as the reference signal quality, or the measurement value of the fourth measurement quantity is set as the reference value.
[0158] Through the collaboration between LP-WUR and MR, the accuracy of the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation is guaranteed while ensuring energy saving effects.
[0159] In order to balance power saving and the accuracy of the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation, when the secondary receiver of the terminal does not meet the measurement relaxation criterion, the secondary receiver of the terminal needs to promptly wake up the main receiver of the terminal to perform measurement. Based on this, in one embodiment, the method further includes:
[0160] When the second evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the non-cell edge criterion, the secondary receiver of the terminal feeds back a first indication to the primary receiver of the terminal; the first indication is used to wake up the primary receiver of the terminal and perform a first evaluation; and / or
[0161] When the fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion, the secondary receiver of the terminal feeds back a second indication to the primary receiver of the terminal; the second indication is used to wake up the primary receiver of the terminal and perform a second evaluation.
[0162] Here, when the second evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the non-cell edge criterion, it indicates that the main receiver needs to be awakened for measurement and a first evaluation is performed. At this time, the auxiliary receiver (e.g., LP-WUR) feeds back a first indication to the main receiver to wake up the main receiver for the first evaluation. When the second evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion, the auxiliary receiver (e.g., LP-WUR) continues to measure and perform the first evaluation. When the fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion, it indicates that the main receiver needs to be awakened for a second evaluation. The auxiliary receiver (e.g., LP-WUR) feeds back a second indication to the main receiver to wake up the main receiver for the second evaluation. When the fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, the auxiliary receiver (e.g., LP-WUR) continues to measure and perform the second evaluation.
[0163] In order to accurately determine whether the second measurement amount meets the non-cell edge criterion, in one embodiment, when the measurement result of the second measurement amount is lower than or not higher than the second threshold, the fifth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the non-cell edge criterion; or
[0164] In a case where the measurement result of the second measurement quantity is higher than the second threshold, the fifth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell-edge criterion.
[0165] Here, the measurement result of the second measurement quantity is compared with the second threshold in the first information to obtain a comparison result. Based on the comparison result, it is determined whether the terminal meets the non-cell-edge criterion, thereby obtaining a fifth evaluation result. If the measurement result of the second measurement quantity is lower than or not higher than the second threshold, the fifth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the non-cell-edge criterion; if the measurement result of the second measurement quantity is higher than the second threshold, the fifth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell-edge criterion. The measurement result of the second measurement quantity can be described as the measurement value of the second measurement quantity. "Not higher than" can be understood as less than and / or equal to.
[0166] In order to accurately determine whether the fourth measurement value meets the low mobility criterion, in one embodiment, when the change value of the fourth measurement value is higher than or not lower than the fourth threshold within the time length, the sixth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion; or
[0167] In the case that the change value of the fourth measurement quantity is lower than the fourth threshold within the time length, the sixth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion.
[0168] Here, a measurement result of a fourth measurement quantity measured within the time length is obtained, and a change value of the fourth measurement quantity within the time length is determined, and the change value of the fourth measurement quantity within the time length is compared with the fourth threshold in the first information to obtain a comparison result. Based on the comparison result, it is determined whether the terminal meets the low mobility criterion to obtain a sixth evaluation result; when the change value of the fourth measurement quantity is higher than or not lower than the fourth threshold, the sixth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion; when the change value of the fourth measurement quantity is lower than the fourth threshold, the sixth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion.
[0169] In order to facilitate the primary receiver of the terminal to promptly learn whether the measurement results of the secondary receiver of the terminal meet the measurement relaxation criteria, and to promptly wake up the primary receiver to perform measurement relaxation criteria evaluation when the measurement results of the secondary receiver of the terminal do not meet the measurement relaxation criteria, thereby achieving both power saving and the accuracy of the measurement relaxation criteria evaluation. Based on this, in one embodiment, the method further includes one or more of the following:
[0170] When the fifth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion, the secondary receiver of the terminal feeds back a third indication to the primary receiver of the terminal; the third indication is used to indicate that the non-cell edge criterion is met;
[0171] When the fifth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the non-cell edge criterion, the secondary receiver of the terminal feeds back a fourth indication to the primary receiver of the terminal; the fourth indication is used to indicate that the non-cell edge criterion is not met;
[0172] When the sixth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, the secondary receiver of the terminal feeds back a fifth indication to the primary receiver of the terminal; the fifth indication is used to indicate that the low mobility criterion is met;
[0173] When the sixth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion, the secondary receiver of the terminal feeds back a sixth indication to the primary receiver of the terminal; the sixth indication is used to indicate that the low mobility criterion is not met.
[0174] Here, the third indication may be a non-cell edge indication or a high cell quality indication; the fourth indication may be a cell edge indication or a non-high cell quality indication; the fifth indication may be a low mobility indication; and the sixth indication may be a non-low mobility indication.
[0175] To further save energy, in one embodiment, the method further includes one or more of the following:
[0176] After feeding back the third indication, if the measurement result of the second measurement quantity is higher than the second threshold, then not feeding back the third indication;
[0177] After feeding back the fourth indication, if the measurement result of the second measurement quantity is lower than or not higher than the second threshold, then not feeding back the fourth indication;
[0178] After the fifth indication is fed back, if the change value of the fourth measurement quantity is lower than the fourth threshold, then the fifth indication is not fed back;
[0179] After the sixth indication is fed back, if the change value of the fourth measurement quantity is higher than or not lower than the fourth threshold, the sixth indication is not fed back.
[0180] Here, in a subsequent measurement relaxation criterion evaluation after the third indication is fed back, if the measurement result of the second measurement quantity is higher than the second threshold, that is, the magnitude relationship between the measurement value of the second measurement quantity and the second threshold has not changed, that is, the non-cell edge criterion evaluation result has not changed, and there is no need to repeatedly feed back the third indication. Similarly, after the fourth indication is fed back, in a subsequent measurement relaxation criterion evaluation, if the measurement result of the second measurement quantity is lower than or not higher than the second threshold, that is, the magnitude relationship between the measurement value of the second measurement quantity and the second threshold has not changed, that is, the non-cell edge criterion evaluation result has not changed, there is no need to repeatedly feed back the fourth indication. In the subsequent measurement relaxation evaluation, the feedback method for the fifth and sixth indications is the same as the feedback method for the third and fourth indications, and will not be repeated here.
[0181] In order to improve the accuracy of the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation and the energy-saving effect, in one embodiment, the method further includes:
[0182] receiving a measurement relaxation factor sent by the network device;
[0183] According to the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation result, the corresponding measurement relaxation factor is applied.
[0184] Here, the number of measurement relaxation factors configured for the network device may be one or more, and “a plurality” may be understood as two or more.
[0185] For example, the network device may configure corresponding measurement relaxation factors based on different measurement relaxation criterion evaluation results. When the terminal obtains a measurement relaxation criterion evaluation result that satisfies the measurement relaxation criterion, the terminal selects the measurement relaxation factor corresponding to the obtained measurement relaxation criterion evaluation result from the measurement relaxation factors issued by the network device and uses the selected measurement relaxation factor to perform measurement relaxation. Different measurement relaxation factors may correspond to different measurement intervals.
[0186] In order to further improve the energy saving effect, multiple measurement relaxation factors can be configured for multiple measurement relaxation criterion evaluation results. Based on this, in one embodiment, the measurement relaxation factor includes at least one of the following:
[0187] a first measurement relaxation factor, where the first measurement relaxation factor represents a corresponding measurement relaxation factor when the second evaluation result represents that the terminal meets a non-cell edge criterion;
[0188] a second measurement relaxation factor, where the second measurement relaxation factor represents a corresponding measurement relaxation factor when the fifth evaluation result represents that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion;
[0189] a third measurement relaxation factor, where the third measurement relaxation factor represents a corresponding measurement relaxation factor when the fourth evaluation result represents that the terminal meets a low mobility criterion;
[0190] a fourth measurement relaxation factor, where the fourth measurement relaxation factor represents a corresponding measurement relaxation factor when the sixth evaluation result represents that the terminal satisfies a low mobility criterion;
[0191] a fifth measurement relaxation factor, wherein the fifth measurement relaxation factor represents a corresponding measurement relaxation factor when the second evaluation result represents that the terminal satisfies the non-cell edge criterion and the fourth evaluation result represents that the terminal satisfies the low mobility criterion;
[0192] a sixth measurement relaxation factor, where the sixth measurement relaxation factor represents a measurement relaxation factor corresponding to a case where the fifth evaluation result represents that the terminal satisfies a non-cell edge criterion and the sixth evaluation result represents that the terminal satisfies a low mobility criterion;
[0193] a seventh measurement relaxation factor, wherein the seventh measurement relaxation factor represents a corresponding measurement relaxation factor when the second evaluation result represents that the terminal satisfies the non-cell edge criterion and the sixth evaluation result represents that the terminal satisfies the low mobility criterion;
[0194] An eighth measurement relaxation factor represents a measurement relaxation factor corresponding to a case where the fifth evaluation result represents that the terminal satisfies the non-cell-edge criterion and the fourth evaluation result represents that the terminal satisfies the low mobility criterion.
[0195] Here, when the second evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell-edge criterion, the terminal performs measurement relaxation according to the first measurement relaxation factor.
[0196] When the fifth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell-edge criterion, the terminal performs measurement relaxation according to the second measurement relaxation factor.
[0197] In a case where the fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, the terminal performs measurement relaxation according to the third measurement relaxation factor.
[0198] When the sixth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, the terminal performs measurement relaxation according to the fourth measurement relaxation factor.
[0199] When the second evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell-edge criterion and the fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, the terminal performs measurement relaxation according to the fifth measurement relaxation factor.
[0200] When the fifth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion and the sixth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, the terminal performs measurement relaxation according to the sixth measurement relaxation factor.
[0201] When the second evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion and the sixth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, the terminal performs measurement relaxation according to the seventh measurement relaxation factor.
[0202] When the fifth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion and the fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, the terminal performs measurement relaxation according to the eighth measurement relaxation factor.
[0203] It should be noted that, under normal circumstances, the measurement relaxation effect of measuring relaxation using the first measurement relaxation factor is greater than the measurement relaxation effect of measuring relaxation using the second measurement relaxation factor; the measurement relaxation effect of measuring relaxation using the third measurement relaxation factor is greater than the measurement relaxation effect of measuring relaxation using the fourth measurement relaxation factor; the measurement relaxation effect of measuring relaxation using the fifth measurement relaxation factor is the best, and the measurement relaxation effect of measuring relaxation using the sixth measurement relaxation factor is the worst; the measurement relaxation effect of measuring relaxation using the seventh measurement relaxation factor or the eighth measurement relaxation factor is similar.
[0204] The following introduces four schemes for evaluating the measurement relaxation criteria of the terminal.
[0205] Solution 1: The terminal's main receiver and auxiliary receiver work together to perform the first evaluation
[0206] As shown in Figure 2, the relaxation measurement method includes:
[0207] Step 201: Receive first information sent by a network device.
[0208] Here, the first information sent by the network device includes: a first timer value, a first quantity, and a first threshold.
[0209] Step 202: Perform a first evaluation based on the measurement result of the first measurement quantity to obtain a first evaluation result.
[0210] Here, the terminal's primary receiver measures a reference signal sent by a network device to obtain a measurement result of a first measurement quantity, such as a measurement value of the first measurement quantity. A first evaluation is performed based on the measurement result of the first measurement quantity, namely, determining whether the measurement result of the first measurement quantity meets a non-cell-edge criterion threshold, thereby obtaining a first evaluation result. If the measurement result of the first measurement quantity meets the non-cell-edge criterion threshold, the first evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell-edge criterion. If the measurement result of the first measurement quantity does not meet the non-cell-edge criterion threshold, the first evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the non-cell-edge criterion.
[0211] The reference signal may include a synchronization signal block (SSB) and / or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS). For example, the first measurement quantity includes RSRP and / or RSRQ and / or SINR.
[0212] Step 203: Determine whether the first evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion.
[0213] Here, when the first evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion, the main receiver of the terminal is turned off or the main receiver of the terminal is controlled to enter an extremely deep sleep mode, and the auxiliary receiver of the terminal (for example, LP-WUR) is used to perform measurements. The measurement relaxation criterion evaluation is performed based on the measurement results obtained by the auxiliary receiver of the terminal, and step 204 is executed; when the first evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the non-cell edge criterion or the cell signal quality does not meet the requirements, it is necessary to continue to use the main receiver to perform the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation, and step 202 is executed.
[0214] Step 204: Start the first timer to measure and obtain a measurement result of the second measurement quantity.
[0215] Here, when the first evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion, a first timer is started to count the time for using the secondary receiver of the terminal to perform measurement relaxation criterion evaluation; the secondary receiver of the terminal measures the LP-SS to obtain a measurement result of a second measurement quantity, where the second measurement quantity includes LP-RSRP and / or LP-RSRQ and / or LP-SINR; then, a first evaluation is performed based on the measurement result of the second measurement quantity and the first information to obtain a second evaluation result, that is, steps 205-208 and step 210 are executed.
[0216] Step 205: Determine whether the first timer has expired.
[0217] Here, the expiration of the first timer can be understood as the end of the first timer or the timeout of the first timer. In the case of the expiration of the first timer, step 210 is executed; in the case of the first timer not expiration, the first timer is in effect, and step 206 is executed.
[0218] Step 206: Determine whether the first condition is met.
[0219] Here, during the period when the first timer is effective, it is determined whether there are a first number of consecutive measurement results of the second measurement amount that are lower than the first threshold, that is, it is determined whether there are N1 (first number) consecutive LP-RSRP and / or LP-RSRQ and / or LP-SINR values that are lower than the first threshold. If the first number of consecutive measurement results of the second measurement amount are lower than the first threshold, the first condition is met and step 207 is executed. If the first number of consecutive measurement results of the second measurement amount are not lower than the first threshold, the first condition is not met and step 208 is executed.
[0220] Step 207: Stop the first timer and stop measuring the second measurement quantity.
[0221] Here, while the first timer is in effect, if the first condition is met, the timing of the first timer is stopped, and the secondary receiver of the terminal stops measuring the second measurement quantity.
[0222] Step 208: The second evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion.
[0223] Here, when the first timer is valid and the first condition is not satisfied, the second evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell-edge criterion.
[0224] Step 209: Continue measuring to obtain a measurement result of the second measurement quantity.
[0225] Here, if the second evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion, the secondary receiver of the terminal continues to measure the second measurement quantity to obtain a measurement result of the second measurement quantity, and the secondary receiver of the terminal still performs measurement relaxation criterion evaluation, and then returns to step 204.
[0226] Step 210: The second evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the non-cell edge criterion.
[0227] Here, when the first timer is valid and the first condition is met, or when the first timer expires, the second evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the non-cell-edge criterion.
[0228] Step 211: The secondary receiver of the terminal feeds back a first indication to the primary receiver of the terminal.
[0229] When the second evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the non-cell-edge criterion, the secondary receiver of the terminal feeds back a first indication to the primary receiver to wake up the primary receiver to perform the first evaluation.
[0230] Solution 2: The terminal's auxiliary receiver performs the first evaluation
[0231] As shown in Figure 3, the relaxation measurement method includes:
[0232] Step 301: Receive first information sent by a network device.
[0233] Here, the first information sent by the network device includes the second threshold.
[0234] Step 302: Perform a first evaluation based on the measurement result of the second measurement quantity and the first information to obtain a fifth evaluation result.
[0235] Here, when the second measurement value is lower than or not higher than the second threshold, the fifth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the non-cell edge criterion; when the second measurement value is higher than the second threshold, the fifth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion.
[0236] Step 303: Determine whether the fifth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion.
[0237] Here, if the fifth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell-edge criterion, step 304 is executed; if the fifth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the non-cell-edge criterion, step 305 is executed.
[0238] Step 304: The secondary receiver of the terminal feeds back a third indication to the primary receiver of the terminal.
[0239] Here, after the primary receiver of the terminal receives the third indication from the secondary receiver of the terminal, it determines that the terminal now meets the non-cell edge criterion, and the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation result is that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion; in subsequent measurements by the secondary receiver of the terminal, if the relationship between the measurement result of the second measurement quantity and the second threshold does not change, then the secondary receiver of the terminal does not need to feed back the third indication to the primary receiver of the terminal again.
[0240] Step 305: The secondary receiver of the terminal feeds back a fourth indication to the primary receiver of the terminal.
[0241] Here, after the primary receiver of the terminal receives the fourth indication from the secondary receiver of the terminal, it determines that the terminal does not meet the non-cell edge criterion at this time, and the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation result is that the terminal does not meet the non-cell edge criterion; in subsequent measurements by the secondary receiver of the terminal, if the relationship between the measurement result of the second measurement quantity and the second threshold does not change, then the secondary receiver of the terminal does not need to feed back the fourth indication to the primary receiver of the terminal again.
[0242] Solution 3: The terminal's primary and secondary receivers perform a second evaluation
[0243] As shown in Figure 4, the relaxation measurement method includes:
[0244] Step 401: Receive first information sent by a network device.
[0245] Here, the first information sent by the network device includes: a second timer value, a second quantity, and a third threshold.
[0246] Step 402: Perform a second evaluation based on the measurement result of the third measurement quantity to obtain a third evaluation result.
[0247] Here, the terminal's primary receiver measures the reference signal sent by the network device to obtain a measurement result of the third measurement quantity, such as a measurement value of the third measurement quantity. A second evaluation is performed based on the measurement result of the third measurement quantity, namely, determining whether a change in the measurement result of the third measurement quantity meets a low mobility criterion threshold, thereby obtaining a third evaluation result. If the change in the measurement result of the third measurement quantity meets the low mobility criterion threshold, the third evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion. If the change in the measurement result of the third measurement quantity does not meet the low mobility criterion threshold, the third evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion.
[0248] Step 403: Determine whether the third evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion.
[0249] Here, when the third evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, the main receiver of the terminal is turned off or the main receiver of the terminal is controlled to enter an extremely deep sleep mode, and the auxiliary receiver of the terminal is used to measure and obtain the measurement results based on the auxiliary receiver of the terminal to perform measurement relaxation criterion evaluation, and execute step 404; when the first evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion or the terminal movement speed does not meet the requirements, it is necessary to continue to use the main receiver to perform measurement relaxation criterion evaluation, and execute step 402.
[0250] Step 404: Start the second timer to measure and obtain a measurement result of the fourth measurement quantity.
[0251] Here, when the third evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, a second timer is started to count the time for using the secondary receiver of the terminal to perform measurement relaxation criterion evaluation; the secondary receiver of the terminal measures the LP-SS to obtain a measurement result of a fourth measurement quantity, where the fourth measurement quantity includes LP-RSRP and / or LP-RSRQ and / or LP-SINR; then, a second evaluation is performed based on the measurement result of the fourth measurement quantity and the first information to obtain a second evaluation result, i.e., steps 405-408 and step 410 are executed.
[0252] Step 405: Determine whether the second timer has expired.
[0253] Here, the expiration of the second timer can be understood as the end of the second timer or the timeout of the second timer. In the case of the expiration of the second timer, step 410 is executed; in the case of the second timer not expiring, the second timer is in effect, and step 406 is executed.
[0254] Step 406: Determine whether the second condition is met.
[0255] Here, during the period when the second timer is effective, it is determined whether a second number of consecutive change values of the fourth measurement quantity are lower than the third threshold, that is, it is determined whether N2 (the second number) consecutive change values of LP-RSRP and / or LP-RSRQ and / or LP-SINR are higher than the third threshold. If a second number of consecutive change values of the fourth measurement quantity are higher than the third threshold, the second condition is met and step 407 is executed. If a second number of consecutive change values of the fourth measurement quantity are not higher than the third threshold, the second condition is not met and step 408 is executed.
[0256] Step 407: Stop the second timer and stop measuring the fourth measurement variable.
[0257] Here, while the second timer is in effect, if the second condition is met, the second timer is stopped, and the secondary receiver of the terminal stops measuring the fourth measurement quantity.
[0258] Step 408: The fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion.
[0259] Here, when the second timer is valid and the second condition is not satisfied, the fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion.
[0260] Step 409: Continue measuring to obtain a measurement result of the fourth measurement quantity.
[0261] Here, when the fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, the secondary receiver of the terminal continues to measure the fourth measurement quantity to obtain a measurement result of the fourth measurement quantity, and the secondary receiver of the terminal still performs measurement relaxation criterion evaluation, and returns to step 404.
[0262] Step 410: The fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion.
[0263] Here, when the second timer is valid and the second condition is met, or when the second timer expires, the fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion.
[0264] Step 411: The secondary receiver of the terminal feeds back a second indication to the primary receiver of the terminal.
[0265] When the fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion, the secondary receiver of the terminal feeds back a second indication to the primary receiver to wake up the primary receiver for performing a second evaluation.
[0266] Solution 4: Second evaluation by the terminal's auxiliary receiver
[0267] As shown in Figure 5, the relaxation measurement method includes:
[0268] Step 501: Receive first information sent by a network device.
[0269] Here, the first information sent by the network device includes the fourth threshold and the time length.
[0270] Step 502: Perform a second evaluation based on the measurement result of the fourth measurement quantity and the first information to obtain a sixth evaluation result.
[0271] Here, when the change value of the fourth measurement quantity within the time length is higher than or not lower than the fourth threshold, the sixth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion; when the change value of the fourth measurement quantity within the time length is lower than the fourth threshold, the sixth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion.
[0272] Step 503: Determine whether the sixth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion.
[0273] Here, if the sixth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, step 504 is executed; if the sixth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion, step 505 is executed.
[0274] Step 504: The secondary receiver of the terminal feeds back a fifth indication to the primary receiver.
[0275] Here, after the primary receiver of the terminal receives the fifth indication from the secondary receiver of the terminal, it determines that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion at this time, and the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation result is that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion; in subsequent measurements of the secondary receiver of the terminal, if the relationship between the change value of the fourth measurement quantity and the fourth threshold does not change within the time length, then the secondary receiver of the terminal does not need to feed back the fifth indication to the primary receiver of the terminal again.
[0276] Step 505: The secondary receiver of the terminal feeds back a sixth indication to the primary receiver of the terminal.
[0277] Here, after the primary receiver of the terminal receives the sixth indication from the secondary receiver of the terminal, it is determined that the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion at this time, and the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation result is that the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion; in subsequent measurements by the secondary receiver of the terminal, if the relationship between the change value of the fourth measurement quantity and the fourth threshold does not change within the time length, then the secondary receiver of the terminal does not need to feed back the sixth indication to the primary receiver of the terminal again.
[0278] The present application also provides a measurement relaxation method for network equipment. As shown in FIG6 , the method includes:
[0279] Step 601: Send first information to the terminal.
[0280] The first information is used to measure the relaxation criterion evaluation, including one or more of the following:
[0281] First timer value;
[0282] first quantity;
[0283] a first threshold, where the first threshold represents a threshold corresponding to a measurement value obtained by a secondary receiver of the terminal;
[0284] a second threshold, where the second threshold represents a threshold corresponding to a measurement value obtained by a secondary receiver of the terminal;
[0285] Second timer value;
[0286] second quantity;
[0287] a third threshold, where the third threshold represents a change threshold corresponding to a measurement value obtained by a secondary receiver of the terminal;
[0288] a fourth threshold, where the fourth threshold represents a change threshold corresponding to a measurement value obtained by a secondary receiver of the terminal;
[0289] Length of time.
[0290] Here, the network device may send parameters required for the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation to the terminal, so that the terminal selects a suitable solution to perform the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation according to the parameters, and the parameters are included in the first information.
[0291] In order to achieve a better relaxation measurement effect, in one embodiment, the method further includes:
[0292] A measurement relaxation factor is sent to the terminal; wherein one measurement relaxation factor corresponds to one measurement relaxation criterion evaluation result.
[0293] Here, the measurement relaxation factor is sent to the terminal, so that the terminal can apply the corresponding measurement relaxation factor to perform measurement relaxation according to the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation result.
[0294] In one embodiment, the measurement relaxation factor includes at least one of the following:

[0297] a third measurement relaxation factor, where the third measurement relaxation factor represents a corresponding measurement relaxation factor when the fourth evaluation result represents that the terminal meets a low mobility criterion;
[0298] a fourth measurement relaxation factor, where the fourth measurement relaxation factor represents a corresponding measurement relaxation factor when the sixth evaluation result represents that the terminal satisfies a low mobility criterion;
[0299] a fifth measurement relaxation factor, wherein the fifth measurement relaxation factor represents a corresponding measurement relaxation factor when the second evaluation result represents that the terminal satisfies the non-cell edge criterion and the fourth evaluation result represents that the terminal satisfies the low mobility criterion;
[0300] a sixth measurement relaxation factor, where the sixth measurement relaxation factor represents a measurement relaxation factor corresponding to a case where the fifth evaluation result represents that the terminal satisfies a non-cell edge criterion and the sixth evaluation result represents that the terminal satisfies a low mobility criterion;

[0306] Here, the configuration of the measurement relaxation factor may be manually set, may be a factory default setting, or may be obtained based on calculation.
[0307] The present application is described in further detail below with reference to application examples.
[0308] Example 1: When the network issues LP-SS and the terminal supports the LP-WUS architecture, the network device issues the parameters required for the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation using schemes 1 and 3 to the terminal. The terminal uses schemes 1 and 3 to evaluate the measurement relaxation criterion. The specific process is shown in Figure 7. As shown in Figure 7, the measurement relaxation method includes:
[0309] Step 701: The network device sends first information and a measurement relaxation factor to the terminal.
[0310] Here, the first information sent by the network device to the terminal may include: the first timer value is 20 seconds (s), the first quantity, the first threshold, the second timer value is 25s, the second quantity, the third threshold, and the first time value; the measurement relaxation factor is sent to the terminal, and the measurement relaxation factor may include: the first measurement relaxation factor, the third measurement relaxation factor, and the fifth measurement relaxation factor.
[0311] Step 702: The terminal receives the first information and the measurement relaxation factor sent by the network device.
[0312] Here, when the terminal receives the first information and the measurement relaxation factor sent by the network device, the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation is performed using Solution 1 and Solution 3. After executing step 702, steps 703-704 are executed. Steps 703 and 704 can be executed simultaneously or sequentially.
[0313] Step 703: The terminal performs a first evaluation based on the measurement result of the first measurement quantity to obtain a first evaluation result.
[0314] Here, the first measurement value meets a first evaluation threshold, the first evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets a non-cell edge criterion, and the first timer is started.
[0315] Step 704: The terminal performs a second evaluation based on the measurement result of the third measurement quantity to obtain a third evaluation result.
[0316] Here, the change value of the third measurement quantity meets the second evaluation threshold, the third evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, and the second timer is started.
[0317] Step 705: The terminal applies the corresponding measurement relaxation factor according to the first evaluation result and the third evaluation result to perform measurement relaxation.
[0318] Here, when the first evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion and the third evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, a measurement relaxation factor that matches both the first evaluation result and the third evaluation result is determined, and measurement relaxation is performed according to the determined measurement relaxation factor.
[0319] Step 706: The terminal performs a first evaluation based on the measurement result of the second measurement quantity and the first information to obtain a second evaluation result.
[0320] Here, during the period when the first timer is in effect and the first condition is met, that is, when the LP-WUR of the terminal measures the second measurement quantity and the obtained measurement result indicates that the measurement results of the second measurement quantity for a consecutive first number are lower than the first threshold, the second evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the non-cell edge criterion, the first timer is stopped, the measurement of the second measurement quantity is stopped, and the LP-WUR of the terminal feeds back the first indication to the MR of the terminal; or, when the first timer expires, the second evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the non-cell edge criterion, and the LP-WUR of the terminal feeds back the first indication to the MR of the terminal. During the period when the first timer is in effect and the first condition is not met, that is, when the first timer is in effect, the LP-WUR of the terminal measures the second measurement quantity and the obtained measurement result indicates that the measurement results of the second measurement quantity for a consecutive first number are higher than or not lower than the first threshold, the second evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion.
[0321] Step 707: The terminal performs a second evaluation based on the measurement result of the fourth measurement quantity and the first information to obtain a fourth evaluation result.
[0322] Here, while the second timer is in effect and the second condition is met, that is, the terminal LP-WUR measures the fourth measurement quantity and obtains a second number of consecutive change values of the fourth measurement quantity that are higher than the third threshold, the fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion, the second timer is stopped, the measurement of the fourth measurement quantity is stopped, and the terminal's LP-WUR feeds back a second indication to the terminal's MR; when the second timer expires, the fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion, and the terminal's LP-WUR feeds back a second indication to the terminal's MR. While the second timer is in effect and the second condition is not met, that is, while the second timer is in effect, the terminal's LP-WUR measures the fourth measurement quantity and obtains a second number of consecutive change values of the fourth measurement quantity that are lower than or not higher than the third threshold, the fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion.
[0323] Step 708: The terminal applies the corresponding measurement relaxation factor according to the second evaluation result and the fourth evaluation result to perform measurement relaxation.
[0324] Here, if the second evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell-edge criterion, the terminal performs measurement relaxation according to the first measurement relaxation factor, continues the first evaluation using LP-WUR, and executes step 703. If the fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, the terminal performs measurement relaxation according to the third measurement relaxation factor, continues the second evaluation using LP-WUR, and executes step 704. If the second evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell-edge criterion and the fourth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, the terminal performs measurement relaxation according to the fifth measurement relaxation factor, continues the first and second evaluations using LP-WUR, and executes steps 703 and 704.
[0325] When the MR of the terminal receives the first indication and / or the second indication, the MR is awakened to perform the first evaluation and / or the second evaluation. When the MR of the terminal receives the first indication fed back by the secondary receiver of the terminal, the terminal awakens the primary receiver to measure the first measurement quantity and performs the first evaluation based on the measurement result of the first measurement quantity. When the MR of the terminal receives the second indication fed back by the secondary receiver of the terminal, the terminal awakens the primary receiver to measure the third measurement quantity and performs the second evaluation based on the measurement result of the third measurement quantity.
[0326] Example 2: When the network issues LP-SS and the terminal supports the LP-WUS architecture, the network device issues the parameters required for the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation using Schemes 2 and 4 to the terminal. The terminal uses Schemes 2 and 4 to evaluate the measurement relaxation criterion. The specific process is shown in Figure 8. As shown in Figure 8, the measurement relaxation method includes:
[0327] Step 801: The network device sends first information and a measurement relaxation factor to the terminal.
[0328] Here, the first information sent by the network device to the terminal may include: the second threshold, the fourth threshold and the time length; the network device sends the measurement relaxation factor to the terminal, and the measurement relaxation factor includes: the second measurement relaxation factor, the fourth measurement relaxation factor and the sixth measurement relaxation factor.
[0329] Step 802: The terminal receives the first information and the measurement relaxation factor sent by the network device.
[0330] Here, when the terminal receives the first information and the measurement relaxation factor sent by the network device, the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation is performed using Scheme 2 and Scheme 4. After executing step 802, steps 803-804 are executed. Steps 803 and 804 can be executed simultaneously or sequentially.
[0331] Step 803: Perform a first evaluation based on the measurement result of the second measurement quantity and the first information to obtain a fifth evaluation result.
[0332] Here, the measurement result of the second measurement quantity is compared with the second threshold in the first information to obtain a comparison result. Based on the comparison result, it is determined whether the terminal meets the non-cell-edge criterion to obtain a fifth evaluation result. If the measurement result of the second measurement quantity is higher than the second threshold, the fifth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell-edge criterion. If the measurement result of the second measurement quantity is lower than or not higher than the second threshold, the fifth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the non-cell-edge criterion.
[0333] Step 804: Perform a second evaluation based on the measurement result of the fourth measurement quantity and the first information to obtain a sixth evaluation result.
[0334] Here, a measurement result of a fourth measurement quantity measured over the time length is obtained, a change value of the fourth measurement quantity over the time length is determined, and the change value of the fourth measurement quantity is compared with a fourth threshold in the first information to obtain a sixth evaluation result. If the change value of the fourth measurement quantity is lower than the fourth threshold, the sixth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion; if the change value of the fourth measurement quantity is higher than or not lower than the fourth threshold, the sixth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion.
[0335] Step 805: Determine whether the fifth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion.
[0336] Here, if the fifth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion, step 806 is executed; if the fifth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the non-cell edge criterion, step 807 is executed.
[0337] Step 806: The LP-WUR of the terminal feeds back a third indication to the MR of the terminal.
[0338] Here, the third indication can be a non-cell edge indication or a high cell quality indication; the terminal continues to perform the first evaluation through LP-WUR; when the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation is still performed through LP-WUR in the future and the fifth evaluation result remains unchanged, there is no need to feedback the third indication.
[0339] Step 807: The LP-WUR of the terminal feeds back a fourth indication to the MR terminal.
[0340] Here, the fourth indication can be a cell edge indication or a non-high cell quality indication; if the measurement relaxation criteria evaluation is still performed through LP-WUR in the future and the fifth evaluation result remains unchanged, there is no need to feed back the fourth indication.
[0341] Step 808: Determine whether the sixth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion.
[0342] Here, if the sixth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, step 809 is executed; if the sixth evaluation result indicates that the terminal does not meet the low mobility criterion, step 810 is executed.
[0343] Step 809: The LP-WUR of the terminal feeds back a fifth indication to the MR of the terminal.
[0344] Here, the fifth indication may be a low mobility indication; the terminal continues to perform a second evaluation through LP-WUR; and when the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation is still performed through LP-WUR subsequently and the fifth evaluation result remains unchanged, there is no need to feed back the fifth indication.
[0345] Step 810: The LP-WUR of the terminal feeds back a sixth indication to the MR of the terminal.
[0346] Here, the sixth indication may be a non-low mobility indication; if the measurement relaxation criterion evaluation is still performed through LP-WUR subsequently and the sixth evaluation result remains unchanged, there is no need to feed back the sixth indication.
[0347] Step 811: Apply the corresponding measurement relaxation factor to perform measurement relaxation.
[0348] Here, when the fifth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion, the terminal performs measurement relaxation according to the second measurement relaxation factor, continues to perform the first evaluation through LP-WUR, and executes step 803.
[0349] When the sixth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, the terminal performs measurement relaxation according to the fourth measurement relaxation factor, and continues to perform the second evaluation through LP-WUR, and executes step 804.
[0350] When the fifth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the non-cell edge criterion and the sixth evaluation result indicates that the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, the terminal performs measurement relaxation according to the sixth measurement relaxation factor, and continues to perform the first evaluation and the second evaluation through LP-WUR, executing steps 803 and 804.
[0351] When the MR of the terminal receives the fourth indication and the sixth indication and the MR of the terminal determines that the terminal does not meet the non-cell edge criterion and the low mobility criterion, the terminal does not perform measurement relaxation and evaluates the measurement relaxation criterion through the MR.
[0352] Example 3: When the network delivers LP-SS and the terminal supports the LP-WUS architecture, the network device delivers the parameters required for measurement relaxation criterion evaluation using schemes 1, 2, 3, and 4 to the terminal, and the terminal selects the appropriate scheme for measurement relaxation criterion evaluation.
[0353] For example, the terminal can select option one for the first evaluation and option three for the second evaluation; the terminal can also select option two for the first evaluation and option four for the second evaluation; the terminal can also select option one for the first evaluation and option four for the second evaluation; the terminal can also select option two for the first evaluation and option three for the second evaluation.
[0354] For example, when the terminal is not in a measurement relaxation condition, the terminal can select Scheme 2 and / or Scheme 4 to perform measurement relaxation criterion evaluation, which has higher energy-saving efficiency; when the terminal is in a measurement relaxation condition, the terminal can select Scheme 1 and / or Scheme 3 to perform measurement relaxation criterion evaluation to make the evaluation result more accurate, and if the measurement relaxation factor of Scheme 1 and / or Scheme 3 is lower, a higher energy-saving effect can also be achieved.
