[0102] It can be understood that the information processing system described in the embodiment of the present disclosure is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0103] The following embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to the information processing system 100 shown in FIG1A , or a portion thereof, but are not limited thereto. The various entities shown in FIG1A are illustrative only. The information processing system may include all or a portion of the entities shown in FIG1A , or may include other entities other than those shown in FIG1A . The number and configuration of the entities may be arbitrary. The connection relationships between the entities are illustrative only. The entities may be connected or disconnected, and the connection may be in any manner, including direct or indirect, wired or wireless.

[0104] The embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G New Radio (NR), Future Radio Access (FRA), New-Radio Access Technology (RAT), New Radio (NR), New Radio access (NX), Future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), systems utilizing other communication methods, and next-generation systems based on and extending these methods. Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0105] In some embodiments, XR includes AR, VR, MR and / or cloud gaming, etc.

[0106] XR services are characterized by fixed frame rate services. These services arrive at the UE at a fixed period, but experience additional jitter beyond this fixed period, which can cause actual data services to arrive at the UE earlier or later. For example, Figure 1B shows a schematic diagram of an XR service arrival model. If the XR service has a frame rate of 60 frames per second (fps), or a period of 16.67 milliseconds (ms), the jitter range is [4, -4] ms.

[0107] For XR services, their periods are likely non-integer; therefore, a fraction is introduced to represent the XR service period. When configuring the terminal, the network introduces a fraction to represent the non-integer period of the XR service. For example, 50 / 3 represents 16.67ms, which means 3 frames in 50ms. (100 / 3), (200 / 9), (50 / 3), (125 / 9), (100 / 9), and (25 / 3) are used to represent frame rates of 30fps, 45fps, 60fps, 72fps, 90fps, and 120fps, respectively.

[0108] For XR services, a delay status report (DSR) may be introduced; that is, if it is detected that the remaining duration of the data is lower than a predetermined threshold (eg, a first threshold), the DSR will be reported to the network.

[0109] Considering that XR services have strict scheduling latency requirements, failure to schedule them in a timely manner will result in a large number of packet drops. If terminals use measurement intervals, this is likely to affect the timely scheduling of XR data. Therefore, a more flexible measurement interval configuration is required. In some optional implementations, if a terminal is in a measurement interval, it cannot send or receive data; therefore, scheduling restrictions exist.

[0110] In some optional implementations, the terminal will, under the instruction of the network device, use or not use scheduling restrictions. If scheduling restrictions are not used, the terminal can still send and receive data normally during the measurement interval; therefore, scheduled transmission can be performed in a timely manner. However, the network device cannot instruct the terminal not to use scheduling restrictions in all cases. For example, the terminal may not need to schedule data urgently, or the terminal may be at the edge of the cell and need to switch. In this case, the terminal still needs to use scheduling restrictions because the terminal needs to measure neighboring cells in preparation for the switch. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the terminal reporting auxiliary information to assist the base station in making decisions.

[0111] For example, at least consider triggering or enabling solutions based on signaling sent by the network device to enable receiving and / or sending data in intervals or restrictions caused by (Radio Resource Management, RRM) measurements: other types of solutions; whether / how to consider any UE assistance information (UE Assistance Information, UAI) / indications in addition to the information available to the network device.

[0112] However, it is currently unclear what kind of auxiliary information is reported and how the auxiliary information is reported; therefore, issues such as the reporting of the auxiliary information need to be considered.

[0113] In some embodiments, the UE may be a terminal, or the terminal may be a UE.

[0132] In some embodiments, the capabilities of a terminal are specific to each frequency range (FR). For example, the capabilities of a terminal are the same for the same frequency range, and / or the capabilities of a terminal may be different for different frequency ranges. For example, terminals in a first frequency range (e.g., FR1) and a second frequency range (e.g., FR2) each support the capability to report their respective assistance information.

[0133] Optionally, the capability of the terminal refers to the capability indicated by the capability information, that is, the capability of supporting reporting of auxiliary information and / or the capability of instructing or informing the network device to perform the first operation. For example, the capability of the terminal may be the capability of supporting the network device to use, not use, activate, deactivate, or modify the measurement interval.

[0135] Step S2102: The terminal performs evaluation.

[0136] In some embodiments, the terminal performs an evaluation of at least one of the first criterion, the second criterion, and the third criterion. Optionally, the terminal evaluates the first criterion to determine (or decide) whether the terminal satisfies the first criterion; the terminal evaluates the second criterion to determine (or decide) whether the terminal satisfies the second criterion; and the terminal evaluates the third criterion to determine (or decide) whether the terminal satisfies the third criterion.

[0137] Optionally, the first criterion is: a change in signal strength detected within a first predetermined time is less than or equal to a first threshold. If the change in signal strength detected by the terminal within the first predetermined time is less than or equal to the first threshold, the terminal is in or meets the first criterion.

[0138] Alternatively, the signal strength may be the signal strength of a reference signal or the like.

[0139] Optionally, the name of the first criterion is not limited, and it may be, for example, a low mobility criterion.

[0141] Optionally, the second criterion is: the signal strength detected within the second predetermined time is greater than or equal to a second threshold.

[0142] Optionally, the name of the second criterion is not limited, and it can be, for example, a non-cell edge criterion or a good cell signal quality criterion.

[0143] Exemplarily, the second criterion may be: if a cell is configured with multiple reference signals, and the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) of any reference signal is greater than a second threshold, it can be considered that the cell corresponding to the reference signal is in or meets the second criterion (good cell signal quality criterion).

[0160] Optionally, the first threshold is less than or equal to the second threshold; the second threshold is the threshold for DSR reporting. For example, DSR reporting is introduced in the XR service. If it is detected that the remaining time of the data is lower than a predetermined threshold (i.e., the second threshold), the terminal will report the DSR to the network device. The DSR includes the predetermined threshold or the remaining time of the data, etc. Here, if the first threshold in the third criterion is less than or equal to the threshold reported by DRS, it can be said that the data is more urgent or equally urgent than the data in the related art.

[0172] Exemplarily, detecting emergency data within the third predetermined time period by the terminal may indicate that the terminal satisfies the third criterion; in this case, the terminal may, under the condition that the third criterion is satisfied, perform evaluation of the first criterion and / or the second criterion. Here, the terminal satisfying the first criterion is a triggering condition for the terminal to execute the first criterion and / or the criterion.

[0173] In some embodiments, if the terminal detects that the first criterion and / or the second criterion are satisfied within a fourth predetermined time, the terminal performs evaluation of the third criterion.

[0181] Optionally, the indication information may be used to indicate a cell list, where the cell list includes at least one cell. Optionally, the cell may be any cell; or the cell may be a primary cell, a primary / secondary cell, and / or a serving cell.

[0182] Optionally, the name of the indication information is not limited, and it may be, for example, a cell indication.

[0183] In some embodiments, the assistance information is used to inform the network device or to indicate that: the terminal desires not to use and / or deactivate the measurement interval; or the terminal desires to use and / or activate the measurement interval.

[0184] For example, the terminal may first determine that the terminal meets the first criterion, the second criterion, and / or the third criterion, and then send auxiliary information to the network device, where the auxiliary information indicates that the terminal desires not to use or deactivate the measurement interval. In this case, data is received and / or sent during the measurement interval.

[0185] For example, the terminal may first determine that the terminal does not meet the first criterion, the second criterion, and / or the third criterion, and then send auxiliary information to the network device, where the auxiliary information is used to instruct the terminal to use or activate the measurement interval. In this case, data is not received and / or sent during the measurement interval.

[0271] The present disclosure relates to an information processing method, which includes:

[0272] In some embodiments, the terminal determines a manner in which the terminal sends assistance information to the base station.

[0273] Optionally, the assistance information is used to assist the base station in performing a first operation; for example, using or not using (or activating / deactivating) a measurement interval, such as enabling or disabling reception and / or transmission of data in the measurement interval, or using or not using scheduling restrictions. Alternatively, the base station may notify the terminal: the terminal uses or does not use (activates or deactivates) the measurement interval, or modifies measurement interval parameters (such as to a longer period), or prioritizes scheduling of emergency data. The first operation is not limited to the above embodiment.

[0274] Optionally, scheduling restriction means that the terminal currently behaves in the pre-configured measurement interval within the measurement interval as follows: the terminal does not send Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) feedback, Scheduling Request (SR), Channel State Information (CSI) and / or Sounding Reference Signal (SRS); does not perform uplink transmission, for example, does not send Uplink Shared Channel (UL-SCH) transmission except for msg3 and / or msgA in random access; and / or does not receive downlink transmission, for example, does not perform Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) and DL-SCH transmission except for random access response. This results in scheduling restriction. Deactivating or not using the measurement interval means not using scheduling restriction.

[0275] Optionally, the terminal reports the auxiliary information through UAI (eg uplink auxiliary information).

[0276] In some embodiments, the auxiliary information of the terminal is used to indicate whether one of the following is satisfied: a first criterion, a second criterion, or a third criterion.

[0277] Optionally, whether a criterion that the terminal is in low mobility is met (ie, whether the terminal meets the first criterion).

[0278] Exemplarily, the first criterion is: the fluctuation of the signal strength detected by the terminal within a time evaluation period (T) is less than a certain threshold (e.g., a first threshold); wherein the signal strength can be: Pcell Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP) measurement based on the synchronization signal block (SSB) or SSB Spcell RSRP measurement (RSRP measurement of the PCell based on SSB or RSRP measurement of the SpCell based SSB). Here, Spcell is a specific cell, and Spcell may include Pcell and / or Pscell; the time evaluation period can be the first predetermined time in the previous embodiment.

[0279] Exemplarily, the evaluation parameters of the first criterion may be configured only in the Pcell.

[0280] Exemplarily, the evaluation parameters of the first criterion may be configured in the Pcell and / or Pscell.

[0281] Illustratively, the evaluation parameter of the first criterion may be the first evaluation parameter in the previous embodiment.

[0282] Optionally, whether the terminal is located at the cell edge or the condition that the signal quality detected by the terminal is good enough is met (that is, whether the terminal meets the second criterion).

[0283] Exemplarily, the second criterion is: the terminal detects a signal strength higher than a certain threshold (eg, a second threshold) within a time evaluation period (T). Here, the time evaluation period may be the second predetermined time in the previous embodiment.

[0284] Exemplarily, the evaluation parameters of the second criterion may be configured only in the Pcell.

[0285] Exemplarily, the evaluation parameters of the second criterion may be configured in the Pcell and / or Pscell.

[0286] Exemplarily, the evaluation parameters of the second criterion may be configured in all serving cells.

[0287] Exemplarily, the evaluation parameter of the second criterion may be the second evaluation parameter in the previous embodiment.

[0288] Exemplarily, the evaluation of the second criterion may be performed only in the Pcell evaluation (to facilitate the base station to perform the first operation on the measurement interval of each terminal (per UE).

[0289] Exemplarily, the evaluation of the second criterion can be evaluated separately on the Pcell and / or Pscell (to facilitate the base station to perform the first operation on the measurement intervals of FR1 and FR2 respectively; for example, if the second criterion is met after the Pcell evaluation, the network device can deactivate the measurement interval of FR1; if the second criterion is met after the Pscell evaluation, the network device can deactivate the measurement interval of FR2; if both the Pcell and the Pscell meet the second criterion, the network can deactivate the measurement interval per UE).

[0290] Exemplarily, the evaluation of the second criterion can be evaluated and reported in all serving cells separately; at this time, the terminal will report a list of cells that meet the second criterion or use a bit map (such as 0, 1 indicator bits) to identify which cells meet the second criterion.

[0291] Optionally, the terminal detects whether a condition for having emergency dispatch data is met (ie, whether the terminal meets a third criterion).

[0292] Optionally, the third criterion is: the terminal detects emergency dispatch data within a time evaluation period (T). The evaluation criterion for emergency dispatch data may be detecting that the remaining duration of a data packet is less than a first threshold, which may be less than the second threshold reported by the DSR. Here, the first time evaluation period may be the third predetermined time in the previous embodiment. Real-time evaluation may also be performed, that is, as long as emergency dispatch data is detected. The evaluation criterion for emergency dispatch data may be detecting that the remaining duration of a data packet is less than a first threshold, which may be less than the second threshold reported by the DSR.

[0293] In some embodiments, the assistance information of the terminal includes a desire of the terminal whether to want the network to perform the first operation.

[0294] Optionally, the terminal may inform the network that it wishes to use / not use or activate / deactivate a predefined measurement interval. The predefined measurement interval may be the measurement interval in the previous embodiment; that is, the predefined measurement interval refers to a measurement interval configured for the terminal.

[0295] Optionally, the terminal may determine that at least one of the first criterion, the second criterion, and the third criterion is satisfied to inform the network that the terminal wishes to not use or deactivate the predefined measurement interval.

[0296] Optionally, the terminal may determine that at least one of the first criterion, the second criterion, and the third criterion is not satisfied, thereby deciding to inform the network that it wishes to use or activate the predefined measurement interval;

[0297] In some embodiments, the terminal reports a capability indication, that is, it can notify the network device of its ability to support the base station to perform the first operation on the measurement interval, or notify the base station of its ability to support reporting of auxiliary information. The terminal capability can be reported through the capability information in the previous embodiment.

[0298] Optionally, the terminal capability may be per UE or per frequency range (per FR). Here, only if the terminal reports the capability, the base station can send the configuration for the terminal to report auxiliary information.

[0299] In some embodiments, the evaluation of the terminal in sending the assistance information to the base station may be triggered under a predetermined condition.

[0300] Optionally, the terminal needs to evaluate whether there is a business need for emergency dispatch. For example, the terminal detects emergency dispatch data within a certain evaluation period (T) before evaluating the first criterion and / or the second criterion (for example, only using the first criterion and / or the second criterion for evaluation; and using the evaluation of the third criterion as a trigger condition for evaluating the first criterion and / or the second criterion).
