[0210] In this embodiment of the disclosure, for a cell configured to report measurements, the cell is identified as the first cell regardless of whether a report is triggered.

[0211] (3) The cell indicated by the network device.

[0212] In some embodiments, the network device indicates to the terminal which cells are the first cells, so the terminal can determine the first cell based on the network device's indication. It should be noted that steps S2101 and S2102 are both optional steps, that is, step S2101 or step S2102 may not be executed, and this embodiment of the disclosure does not limit the scope of the invention.

[0213] In step S2103, the terminal determines the first information based on the first state and / or the second state.

[0214] In some embodiments, the terminal determines the first information based on a first state. In some embodiments, the terminal determines the first information based on a second state. In some embodiments, the terminal determines the first information based on both the first and second states.

[0215] Optionally, the first state includes at least one of the terminal's location or the terminal's altitude.

[0218] Optionally, the first state includes the location of the terminal, and the first threshold includes a first location range; if the location of the terminal is not within the first location range, the first information is determined to indicate a failure to handover to the first cell. In some embodiments, the terminal predicts the location of the terminal included in the first state based on its current location. In some embodiments, the first location range is used to indicate the effective range of the first cell; if the location of the terminal is not within the first location range, it indicates that the terminal will not be within the effective range of the first cell in the future, resulting in the inability to handover to the first cell.

[0219] Optionally, the first state includes the altitude of the terminal, and the first threshold includes a first altitude range; if the terminal's altitude is not within the first altitude range, the first information is determined to indicate a failure to handover to the first cell. In some embodiments, the terminal predicts the altitude of the terminal included in the first state based on its current altitude. In some embodiments, the first altitude range is used to indicate the effective range of the first cell; if the terminal's location is not within the first altitude range, it indicates that the terminal will not be within the effective range of the first cell in the future, resulting in the inability to handover to the first cell.

[0220] Optionally, the second state includes the first channel quality of the first cell, and the first threshold includes a first quality threshold; if the first channel quality is lower than the first quality threshold, the first information is determined to indicate a failure to handover to the first cell. In some embodiments, the first channel quality refers to the channel quality of the first cell at a time after the current time. In some embodiments, the terminal predicts the first channel quality based on the channel quality of the first cell at the current time, that is, it obtains the first channel quality of the first cell. In some embodiments, the terminal measures the channel quality of the first cell at the current time to obtain the channel quality of the first cell at the current time. In some embodiments, if the first channel quality of the first cell is lower than the first quality threshold, the first information is determined to indicate a failure to handover to the first cell. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, if the first channel quality is lower than the first quality threshold, it indicates that the channel quality of the first cell will be poor in the future, and the terminal will not be able to successfully handover to the first cell.

[0221] Optionally, the second state includes a first load strength of the first cell, and the first threshold includes the first load strength; if the first load strength is higher than the first load strength, the first information is determined to indicate a failure to handover to the first cell. In some embodiments, the first load strength refers to the load strength of the first cell at a time after the current time. In some embodiments, the terminal predicts the first load strength based on the load strength of the first cell at the current time, that is, it obtains the first load strength of the first cell. In some embodiments, if the first load strength of the first cell is higher than the first load strength, the first information is determined to indicate a failure to handover to the first cell. In this embodiment of the disclosure, if the first load strength is higher than the first quality threshold, it indicates that the load strength of the first cell will be high in the future, and the terminal cannot successfully handover to the first cell.

[0222] It should be noted that the above embodiments are described using examples where the first state includes the location or altitude of the terminal, or the second state includes the first channel quality or first load strength of the first cell. In another embodiment, the first state may also include both the location and altitude of the terminal, and the second state may also include both the first channel quality and first load strength of the first cell. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first information can be determined based on multiple parameters. Alternatively, it can be understood that the terminal determines the first information to indicate a failure to handover to the first cell based on the fact that multiple parameters included in the first state or the multiple parameters included in the second state do not meet a first threshold.

[0223] Optionally, the first state includes the location of the terminal and the altitude of the terminal, and the first threshold includes a first location range and a first altitude range; if the location of the terminal is not within the first location range and the altitude of the terminal is not within the first altitude range, the first information is determined to indicate that the handover to the first cell has failed.

[0224] Optionally, the first state includes the location of the terminal, and the second state includes the first channel quality of the first cell. If the location of the terminal is not within the first location range and the first channel quality is lower than the first quality threshold, the first information is determined to indicate that the handover to the first cell has failed.

[0225] It should be noted that the embodiments disclosed herein are illustrated using the two cases described above as examples. In another embodiment, other conditions may also be met simultaneously, and information may be determined to indicate that the handover to the first cell has failed.

[0226] In some embodiments, if the first state and / or the second state do not meet the first threshold for a first duration, the first information is determined to indicate that the handover to the first cell has failed.

[0227] Optionally, the first state includes the location of the terminal, and the first threshold includes a first location range; if the location of the terminal is not within the first location range within a first time period, the first information is determined to indicate that the handover to the first cell has failed.

[0228] Optionally, the first state includes the altitude of the terminal, and the first threshold includes a first altitude range; if the altitude of the terminal is not within the first altitude range within a first time period, the first information is determined to indicate that the handover to the first cell has failed.

[0229] Optionally, the first state includes the first channel quality of the first cell, and the first threshold includes a first quality threshold; if the first channel quality of the first cell remains below the first quality threshold for a first duration, first information is determined to indicate that the handover to the first cell has failed.

[0230] Optionally, the first state includes the first load strength of the first cell, and the first threshold includes the first load strength; if the first load strength of the first cell is continuously higher than the first load strength for a first period of time, the first information is determined to indicate that the handover to the first cell has failed.

[0231] The difference between the method of determining the first information to indicate a failure in handover to the first cell in this embodiment and the method of determining the first information to indicate a failure in the above embodiments lies only in the addition of a first duration limitation in this embodiment. That is, if the duration of the first state and / or the second state satisfying the first threshold is greater than the first duration, the first information is determined to indicate a failure in handover to the first cell. This disclosure will not elaborate further on this.

[0232] In some embodiments, the first state and / or the second state satisfy a second threshold, determining the first information to indicate a successful handover to the first cell. Optionally, the second threshold includes at least one of a second location range, a second altitude range, a second quality threshold, or a second load intensity. It should be noted that the first location range and the second location range in this embodiment may be the same or different. It should be noted that the first altitude range and the second altitude range in this embodiment may be the same or different. It should be noted that the first quality threshold and the second quality threshold in this embodiment may be the same or different. It should be noted that the first load intensity and the second load intensity in this embodiment may be the same or different.

[0233] Optionally, the first state includes the location of the terminal, and the second threshold includes a second location range; if the terminal's location is within the second location range, the first information is used to indicate a successful handover to the first cell. In some embodiments, the terminal predicts the location of the terminal included in the first state based on its current location. In some embodiments, the second location range is used to indicate the effective range of the first cell; if the terminal's location is within the second location range, it indicates that the terminal can successfully handover to the first cell within the effective range of the first cell in the future.

[0234] Optionally, the first state includes the altitude of the terminal, and the second threshold includes a second altitude range; if the terminal's altitude is within the second altitude range, the first information is used to indicate a successful handover to the first cell. In some embodiments, the terminal predicts the altitude of the terminal included in the first state based on its current altitude. In some embodiments, the second altitude range is used to indicate the effective range of the first cell; if the terminal's location is within the second altitude range, it indicates that the terminal is within the effective range of the first cell in the future and can successfully handover to the first cell.

[0235] Optionally, the second state includes the first channel quality of the first cell, and the second threshold includes a second quality threshold; if the second channel quality is higher than the second quality threshold, the first information is determined to indicate a successful handover to the first cell. In some embodiments, the first channel quality refers to the channel quality of the first cell at a time after the current time. In some embodiments, the terminal predicts the first channel quality based on the channel quality of the first cell at the current time, that is, it obtains the first channel quality of the first cell. In some embodiments, the terminal measures the channel quality of the first cell at the current time to obtain the channel quality of the first cell at the current time. In some embodiments, if the first channel quality of the first cell is higher than the second quality threshold, the first information is determined to indicate a failed handover to the first cell. In this embodiment of the disclosure, if the first channel quality is higher than the second quality threshold, it indicates that the channel quality of the first cell will be high in the future, and the terminal can successfully handover to the first cell.

[0236] Optionally, the first state includes a first load strength of the first cell, and the first threshold includes the first load strength; if the first load strength is lower than a second load strength, the first information is determined to indicate a successful handover to the first cell. In some embodiments, the first load strength refers to the load strength of the first cell at a time after the current time. In some embodiments, the terminal predicts the first load strength based on the load strength of the first cell at the current time, that is, it obtains the first load strength of the first cell. In some embodiments, if the first load strength of the first cell is lower than the first load strength, the first information is determined to indicate a successful handover to the first cell. In this embodiment of the disclosure, if the first load strength is lower than the first load strength, it indicates that the load strength of the first cell will be low in the future, and the terminal can successfully handover to the first cell.

[0237] It should be noted that the above embodiments are described using examples where the first state includes the location or altitude of the terminal, or the second state includes the first channel quality or first load strength of the first cell. In another embodiment, the first state may also include both the location and altitude of the terminal, and the second state may also include both the first channel quality and first load strength of the first cell. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first information can be determined based on multiple parameters. Alternatively, it can be understood that the terminal determines the first information to indicate successful handover to the first cell based on multiple parameters included in the first state or multiple parameters included in the second state satisfying a second threshold.

[0238] Optionally, the first state includes the location of the terminal and the altitude of the terminal, and the second threshold includes a first location range and a first altitude range; if the location of the terminal is within the second location range and the altitude of the terminal is within the second altitude range, the first information is determined to indicate that the handover to the first cell was successful.

[0239] Optionally, the first state includes the location of the terminal, the second state includes the first channel quality of the first cell, the location of the terminal is within the range of the second location and the first channel quality is higher than the second quality threshold, and the first information is determined to indicate that the handover to the first cell was successful.

[0240] It should be noted that the embodiments disclosed herein are illustrated using the two cases described above as examples. In another embodiment, other conditions may also be met simultaneously, and information may be determined to indicate that the handover to the first cell was successful.

[0241] In some embodiments, if the first state and / or the second state continuously meet the first threshold for a first duration, the first information is determined to indicate that the handover to the first cell was successful.

[0242] Optionally, the first state includes the location of the terminal, and the second threshold includes a second location range; if the location of the terminal is within the second location range within a first time period, the first information is determined to indicate that the handover to the first cell was successful.

[0245] Optionally, the second state includes the first load strength of the first cell, and the second threshold includes the second load strength; if the second load strength of the first cell remains lower than the second load strength for a first period of time, the first information is determined to indicate that the handover to the first cell was successful.

[0246] The difference between the method of determining the first information to indicate a failure in handover to the first cell in this embodiment and the method of determining the first information to indicate a failure in the above embodiments lies only in the addition of a first duration limitation in this embodiment. That is, if the duration of the first state and / or the second state satisfying the first threshold is greater than the first duration, the first information is determined to indicate a failure in handover to the first cell. This disclosure will not elaborate further on this.

[0247] The following explains how the terminal determines the first threshold, the second state, or the first duration.

[0248] In some embodiments, the terminal determines at least one of a first threshold or a second threshold based on a first cell. In embodiments of this disclosure, the first cell corresponds to either the first threshold or the second threshold; therefore, after determining the first cell, the corresponding first threshold or second threshold can be determined based on the first cell.

[0249] In some embodiments, the terminal determines at least one of a first threshold or a second threshold based on the frequency of the first cell. In this embodiment of the disclosure, the frequency of the first cell corresponds to the first threshold or the second threshold, so after determining the frequency of the first cell, the corresponding first threshold or second threshold can be determined based on the frequency of the first cell.

[0250] In some embodiments, the terminal receives second information sent by the network device, the second information indicating a first threshold or a second threshold. In this embodiment, the network device can configure the first threshold or the second threshold for the terminal. Optionally, the network device sends request information to a first cell, the first cell returns the first threshold or the second threshold to the network device based on the request information, and the network device then sends the second information to the terminal, the second information including the first threshold or the second threshold.

[0251] In some embodiments, the network device requests the first cell to send a first threshold or a second threshold, the network device sends fourth information to the first cell, the fourth information being used to request the first threshold or the second threshold, and the first cell sends third information to the network device, the third information being used to indicate the first threshold or the second threshold.

[0252] In some embodiments, the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0253] (1) At least one cell identifier, which is used to indicate the first cell.

[0254] (2) Indication information: The indication information is used to indicate whether the handover to the first cell was successful.

[0255] In some embodiments, if the first information includes both cell identifier and indication information, then each cell identifier corresponds to one indication information. Alternatively, it can be understood that there is a one-to-one correspondence between cell identifiers and indication information.

[0256] (3) First state.

[0257] (4) Second state.

[0258] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by reporting the first state or the second state directly in the first information to the network device, the network device can determine whether to switch to the first cell based on the first state or the second state.

[0259] The methods by which network devices and terminals determine whether to switch to the first cell are similar and will not be described in detail here.

[0260] Step S2104: The terminal sends the first information to the network device.

[0261] Step S2105: The network device receives the first information sent by the terminal.

[0262] In some embodiments, the terminal sends first information. Correspondingly, the network device receives the first information.

[0263] In step S2106, the network device determines whether to switch to the first cell based on the first information.

[0264] In some embodiments, if the first information includes a first channel quality, the network device determines whether it can switch to the first cell based on the first channel quality.

[0265] In some embodiments, if the first information includes a cell identifier and indication information, it can be determined whether to switch to the first cell corresponding to the corresponding cell identifier based on the indication information.

[0266] In some embodiments, after determining that a network device can switch to a first cell, it sends a handover request to the first cell. The first cell, based on the handover request, confirms that a handover is possible and sends a handover command to the terminal. This handover command includes configuration information of the first cell; optionally, the configuration information includes bearer configuration, MAC configuration, and random access configuration. Upon receiving the handover command, the terminal synchronizes with the first cell and initiates a random access procedure to access the first cell.
