AI Technical Summary
When the receiver bandwidth of the user equipment is insufficient to cover both the service frequency and the frequency of the cell to be measured, existing technologies cannot effectively resolve the conflict between XR services and service transmission during the RRM measurement interval or when no measurement interval is configured, resulting in interruption of XR service transmission, especially in extended reality and cloud gaming scenarios with high latency requirements.
The terminal reports measurement assistance information, including relaxed measurement assistance information, priority data transmission assistance information, and unused measurement interval assistance information, to help network equipment configure measurement intervals that meet the terminal's service transmission requirements and reduce service interruptions.
Through the measurement auxiliary information reported by the terminal, the network equipment can better configure the measurement interval and window to ensure the terminal service transmission requirements, reduce service interruption and improve delay performance.

Abstract
Description
Information transmission method, device, terminal and network equipment
[0001] This disclosure claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on March 19, 2024, with application number 202410315533.2 and application name “Information Transmission Method, Device, Terminal and Network Equipment,” the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an information transmission method, apparatus, terminal, and network equipment. Background Art
[0003] When the receiver bandwidth of a user equipment (UE) is insufficient to cover both the serving frequency and the frequency of the cell under test, the UE measures the cell under test using a radio resource management (RRM) measurement gap (also called a measurement gap) configured by the network. During the measurement gap, the current protocol prohibits the UE from transmitting the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), or Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), nor does the UE need to receive the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), or Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS). Furthermore, the UE may not need a measurement gap when performing measurements. In this case, corresponding restrictions will be placed on the UE's transmission and / or reception (i.e., scheduling of the UE).
[0004] Extended Reality (XR) and Cloud Gaming (CG), as two of the most important fifth-generation (5G) media applications, are umbrella terms for different types of reality, encompassing all real-world and virtual environments and human-computer interactions generated by computer technology and devices. These encompass augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and virtual reality (VR).
[0005] If XR service transmission collides with an RRM measurement interval or a measurement without a configured measurement interval, XR service transmission will be interrupted. XR services have high latency requirements and need to minimize interruptions. Ensuring that network-side measurement configurations meet the terminal service transmission requirements is a pressing issue. Summary of the Invention

[0456] B1011, low mobility criterion;
[0457] B1012. Stationary criterion.
[0458] The specific application of the embodiments of the present disclosure is illustrated below with examples.
[0459] Application scenario 1: The terminal reports information related to the relaxation of the measurement interval.
[0460] The specific implementation process includes the following:
[0461] Step 11: The terminal receives configuration information sent by the network device. The configuration information is used to configure one or more of the following:
[0462] D11. Configure the terminal to report measurement auxiliary information;
[0463] D12. Configure the terminal to report whether it meets the relaxed measurement criteria;
[0464] D13, configuration relaxation measurement criteria;
[0465] Specifically, the criteria for relaxing the measurement include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following:
[0466] Criterion 1: Low mobility criterion, for example, the terminal moving speed may be less than or equal to the second threshold (for example, the second threshold is 3 km / h), and / or the serving cell signal quality change does not exceed the preconfigured threshold 1 (that is, the third threshold mentioned above, denoted as S 门限1 ), specifically, it can be: (S-RSRP Ref –S-RSRP) 门限1 ;
[0467] Among them, S-RSRP is the current signal quality of the serving cell, and the unit can be decibel (dB); S-RSRP Ref The current reference signal quality of the serving cell, in dB, is used by the UE to compare the S-RSRP with the reference signal quality of the serving cell. Ref To update:
[0468] When the received Radio Resource Control (RRC) reconfiguration message includes criterion 1 or instructs the terminal to report measurement assistance information;
[0469] The RRC reconfiguration process is completed, and the RRC reconfiguration message in the process includes criterion 1 or instructs the terminal to report measurement assistance information;
[0470] When handover is completed or synchronization reconfiguration is completed and the network side configures criterion 1 or instructs the terminal to report measurement assistance information; (S-RSRP–S-RSRP Ref ) is greater than 0;
[0471] (S-RSRP Ref –S-RSRP) 门限1 The duration was not met.
[0472] Criterion 2, static criterion, for example, can be that the service cell signal quality change does not exceed the pre-configured threshold 2 (that is, the fourth threshold mentioned above, denoted as S 门限2 ), specifically, it can be: (S-RSRP Ref –S-RSRP) 门限2 .
[0473] Criterion 3: The serving cell signal quality is greater than or equal to the first threshold.
[0474] In some embodiments, as long as at least one of the above-mentioned criteria 1 to 3 is met, it is considered that the criteria for relaxed measurement are met; for example, as long as any one of the above-mentioned criteria 1 to 3 is met, it is considered that the criteria for relaxed measurement are met; for example, in some embodiments, the network device can be configured with criteria 1 and criterion 3, and / or, criteria 2 and criterion 3 need to be met at the same time to meet the criteria for relaxed measurement.
[0475] D14. Configure the time when the terminal is prohibited from reporting measurement auxiliary information.
[0476] Step 12: When the terminal expects the network device to relax measurement based on its own algorithm, or when the terminal determines that the relaxed measurement criteria are met based on the criteria configured by the network device; or when the terminal determines that one or more of criteria 1 to 3 in step 11 are met based on the configuration of the network device, the terminal reports measurement assistance information to the network device.
[0477] Furthermore, when the reporting prohibition timer is not running, the terminal reports the measurement assistance information to the network device.
[0478] Specifically, the measurement assistance information may include one or more of the following information:
[0479] D21, third indication information indicating whether the terminal desires to relax measurement;
[0480] D22, fourth indication information indicating whether the terminal meets the criteria for relaxing measurement;
[0481] D23, first indication information indicating whether the terminal meets the low mobility criterion;
[0482] D24, second indication information indicating whether the terminal meets the stationary criterion;
[0483] D25, multiples of the relaxation measurement interval that the terminal expects to configure (e.g., 2);
[0484] D26, the measurement interval that the terminal expects to configure;
[0485] D27, fifth indication information indicating whether the terminal desires to relax the measurement interval;
[0486] D28, sixth indication information of whether the terminal desires to relax scheduling restrictions during measurement;
[0487] D29: A multiple of the scheduling limit for the measurement time that the terminal expects to be configured.
[0488] This refers to the specific configuration of the measurement interval expected by the terminal, such as the period of the measurement interval, the length of the measurement interval, the offset of the measurement interval, the advance of the measurement interval, etc.
[0489] D27, the type of measurement interval that the terminal expects to configure;
[0490] D26. Cell signal quality information.
[0491] Furthermore, the terminal reports the measurement assistance information to the network device and starts a reporting prohibition timer, the value of which may be a predefined value or the time for prohibiting the terminal from reporting the measurement assistance information in step 11.
[0492] Based on the measurement assistance information reported by the terminal side, the network device configures appropriate measurement configurations (such as measurement intervals, measurement windows, and measurement objects) to the terminal, thereby reducing data transmission interruptions. For example, when the terminal side reports to the network device that it meets the criteria for relaxing measurements, the network side reconfigures the measurement interval for the terminal (the newly configured measurement interval period is twice the previous one, reducing the interruption caused by the measurement interval); for example, when the terminal reports to the network device that it meets the low mobility criteria and the signal quality of the serving cell, the network device believes that the RRM measurement of the terminal can be relaxed at this time. Therefore, when delay-sensitive services need to be transmitted, the network device can configure the terminal to relax the specific multiple of the measurement interval, and / or configure a longer measurement window, and / or reduce the measurement objects, thereby reducing the interruption caused by the measurement interval.
[0493] If the terminal subsequently discovers a change in the measurement assistance information reported to the network device, such as no longer expecting the network to relax measurement, or a change in the multiple of the expected relaxation measurement interval, or no longer meeting the measurement criteria, the terminal may report the measurement assistance information to the network device again. Furthermore, the terminal is allowed to report the measurement assistance information to the network only when the reporting prohibition timer is not running.
[0494] Application scenario 2: The terminal reports information related to data transmission.
[0495] The specific implementation process includes the following:
[0496] Step 21: The terminal receives configuration information sent by the network device. The configuration information is used to configure one or more of the following:
[0497] Configure the terminal to report measurement assistance information;
[0498] Configure the terminal to report whether conflicts occur between data transmission and measurement;
[0499] Configure the priority between terminal reporting data transmission and measurement;
[0500] Configure the time during which the terminal is prohibited from reporting measurement assistance information;
[0501] Step 22: Based on its own algorithm, the terminal expects to report measurement assistance information when a conflict occurs between the measurement interval and data transmission;
[0502] Furthermore, when the reporting prohibition timer is not running, the terminal reports the measurement assistance information to the network device.
[0503] Specifically, the measurement assistance information may include one or more of the following information:
[0504] seventh indication information indicating whether the terminal desires priority data transmission when measurement and data transmission conflict;
[0505] eighth indication information indicating whether a conflict occurs between measurement and data transmission;
[0506] ninth indication information indicating identification information of a measurement interval that conflicts with data transmission;
[0507] The identification information corresponding to the data to be transmitted with priority may be, for example, a bearer identifier (ie, RB id), a logical channel identifier, or a logical channel group identifier;
[0508] The period corresponding to data transmission;
[0509] The duration of data transmission is the duration of data transmission within one cycle.
[0510] The start time of the data transmission, which can be absolute or relative, such as relative to the network device or terminal side;
[0511] End time corresponding to data transmission;
[0512] Indicates whether the terminal wishes to relax the measurement interval;
[0513] The desired measurement interval, i.e., the specific configuration of the measurement interval desired by the terminal, such as the period and length of the measurement interval;
[0514] The type of measurement interval that you want to configure;
[0515] First indication information indicating whether the terminal meets the low mobility criterion, used to assist the network side in determining whether to relax the measurement;
[0516] Second indication information indicating whether the terminal meets the stationary criterion, used to assist the network side in determining whether to relax the measurement;
[0517] Cell signal quality information assists network equipment in determining the signal quality of the current terminal.
[0518] Furthermore, the terminal reports the measurement assistance information to the network device and starts a reporting prohibition timer, the value of which may be a predefined value or the time during which the terminal is prohibited from reporting the measurement assistance information in step 21 .
[0519] Based on the measurement assistance information reported by the terminal side, the network device configures appropriate measurements (such as measurement interval, measurement window, measurement object) or performs appropriate scheduling. For example, according to the fifth indication information, when the network device finds that the remaining data delay is relatively small, it can temporarily disable a part of the measurement interval or the entire measurement interval (such as deactivating the measurement interval or releasing the measurement interval); or reconfigure and / or activate the appropriate measurement interval for the terminal according to the period corresponding to the reported data transmission.
[0520] When the terminal subsequently finds that the measurement assistance information reported to the network device in step 22 has changed, the terminal can report the measurement assistance information to the network device again. Furthermore, the terminal is allowed to report the measurement assistance information to the network side only when the reporting prohibition timer is not running.
[0521] In some embodiments, when the terminal no longer expects data transmission to take priority, the measurement assistance information reported to the network device may be:
[0522] Indicates that when measurement and data transmission conflict, data transmission is no longer preferred, or indicates that when measurement and data transmission conflict, measurement is preferred.
[0523] In some embodiments, when there is no longer a conflict between measurement and data transmission, the measurement assistance information reported to the network device may be:
[0524] The sixth indication information is used to indicate that there is no conflict between measurement and data transmission.
[0525] Application scenario three: The terminal reports information related to unused measurement intervals.
[0526] The specific implementation process includes the following:
[0527] Step 31: The terminal receives configuration information sent by the network. The configuration information is used to configure one or more of the following:
[0528] Configure the terminal to report measurement assistance information;
[0529] Configure the terminal to report unused measurement intervals;
[0530] Configure a ratio threshold for reporting unused measurement intervals; for example, based on this configuration, the terminal triggers reporting of measurement assistance information only when the ratio of unused measurement intervals is greater than the pre-configured threshold.
[0531] Configure the time during which the terminal is prohibited from reporting measurement assistance information.
[0532] Step 32: Based on its own algorithm or based on the network device configuration, the terminal discovers or expects that some of the measurement intervals configured by the network device will not be used, and the terminal reports measurement assistance information to the network device. Further, when the reporting prohibition timer is not running, the terminal reports measurement assistance information to the network device.
[0533] Specifically, the measurement assistance information may include one or more of the following information:
[0534] There are unused measurement intervals;
[0535] Identification information of unused measurement intervals. This is applicable when the network device configures multiple measurement intervals for the terminal. The terminal informs the network device which measurement interval is not used by the terminal by reporting the measurement interval identifier;
[0536] The start time of the unused measurement interval, that is, the terminal will not use the configured measurement interval after the start time;
[0537] The duration of the unused measurement interval is combined with the start time. The terminal reports the unused measurement interval as the start time + duration.
[0538] The duration of the unused measurement interval. For example, if the measurement interval period is repetition 1 and the measurement interval length is L1, the terminal reports the unused measurement interval length L2 within the measurement interval length L1;
[0539] End time of unused measurement intervals;
[0540] The number of unused measurement intervals. For example, if the terminal reports the number of unused measurement intervals n, the terminal will not use the next n measurement intervals.
[0541] The proportion of unused measurement intervals. For example, if 1 / 4 of the currently configured measurement intervals are unused, the terminal reports 1 / 4 to the network.
[0542] The desired measurement interval, i.e., the specific configuration of the desired measurement interval, such as the period and duration of the measurement interval;
[0543] The desired measurement interval type.
[0544] Furthermore, the terminal reports the measurement assistance information to the network device and starts a reporting prohibition timer, the value of which may be a predefined value or the time for prohibiting the terminal from reporting the measurement assistance information in step 31 .
[0545] Based on the received terminal-side auxiliary information, the network device configures an appropriate measurement interval or performs appropriate scheduling. For example, according to the identification information of the unused measurement interval and the duration of the unused measurement interval, the network device reconfigures a measurement interval with a shorter measurement interval duration; according to the number of unused measurement intervals, the network device can release or deactivate the unused measurement interval through commands or configuration; or according to the specific configuration of the desired measurement interval, reconfigure and / or activate the appropriate measurement interval for the terminal, etc.
[0546] When the terminal subsequently finds that the measurement assistance information reported to the network side in step 32 has changed, the terminal can report the measurement assistance information to the network side again. Furthermore, the terminal is allowed to report the measurement assistance information to the network device only when the reporting prohibition timer is not running.
[0547] In some embodiments, when the terminal has no unused measurement interval, the measurement assistance information that can be reported to the network side is:
[0548] There are no unused measurement intervals.
[0549] It should be noted that, in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the network side can understand the needs of the terminal through the measurement assistance information reported by the terminal, configure appropriate measurement intervals and / or scheduling restrictions, and reduce service interruptions.
