[0139] FIG. 2A is a schematic diagram of one of the communication methods provided by the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2A, the method comprises the following steps:
[0140] In step 2101, the first network device sends second information to the first terminal.
[0141] In some embodiments, the second information is used to configure the at least one first terminal to measure the first channel and / or the second channel, the first channel is a channel between the at least one first terminal and the first network device, and the second channel is a channel between the at least one first terminal and a network device corresponding to at least one neighboring cell of the first cell.
[0142] In some embodiments, the second information indicates that the first terminal measures the first channel and / or the second channel, which can be used to determine whether the first terminal can be offloaded to other cells, or the first terminal cannot be offloaded out of the first cell.
[0143] In some embodiments, the second information is information indicating that the terminal performs channel measurement, and the second information can be carried by a second message, which can be carried by downlink signaling without limitation of signaling type.
[0144] In some embodiments, the name of the second information is not limited, which is, for example, "channel measurement indication information", "measurement indication information", etc.
[0145] In some embodiments, the name of the second message is not limited, which is, for example, "channel measurement indication message", "measurement indication message", etc.
[0146] In some embodiments, the first network device can be a network device of the first cell in which the first terminal currently resides, for example, a base station, and the first terminal can be all terminals or part of the terminals residing in the first cell corresponding to the first network device, and the number of the first terminals is not limited.
[0147] For example, the network device of the first cell sends indication information of channel measurement to all terminals in the first cell, and configures the terminals to measure the channels of the neighboring cells respectively.
[0148] For example, the network device sends first information to the terminal, and the first information comprises configuration of the first terminal to measure the channels of the neighboring cells.
[0149] In some embodiments, the channel measurement of the first terminal can be measurement of the state of the communication channel with the neighboring cell, so as to determine the terminal with better communication quality with the neighboring cell, in other words, if the communication quality is good, the first terminal meets the precondition of accessing the corresponding neighboring cell, and if the communication quality is not good, the first terminal does not meet the condition of accessing the neighboring cell and will not be offloaded to the neighboring cell.
[0150] At step 2102, the first terminal performs cell measurement.
[0151] In some embodiments, the number of the first terminals performing cell measurement after receiving the second information can be one or more.
[0152] In some embodiments, the first terminal measures the first channel and / or the second channel based on the second information.
[0153] In some embodiments, the first terminal measures the first information and / or the second channel based on the indication of the first network device can be measuring the first cell of the first network device and / or measuring at least one neighbor cell of the first cell.
[0154] In some embodiments, the first terminal measuring the first channel can be measuring the first channel between the first terminal and the first cell corresponding to the first network device where the first terminal currently resides. In other words, the first terminal measures the channel between the first terminal and the network device of the cell where the first terminal currently resides for determining whether the current cell can guarantee the communication quality of the first terminal.
[0155] In some embodiments, the first terminal measuring the second channel can be measuring the channel between the first terminal and at least one neighbor cell of the first cell. In other words, the first terminal measures the channel between the first terminal and the network device of at least one neighbor cell of the first cell for determining the channel quality between the neighbor cell and the first terminal, and thus determining whether the first terminal can be offloaded to the corresponding neighbor cell.
[0156] For example, the first terminal measures the channel between the first terminal and the cell where the first terminal currently resides and the neighbor cell based on the first information.
[0157] At step 2103, the first terminal sends the cell measurement result to the first network device.
[0158] In some embodiments, the at least one first terminal sends the cell measurement result to the first network device, and the cell measurement result is determined by the at least one first terminal based on the second information.
[0159] In some embodiments, the at least one first terminal sending the cell measurement result to the first network device includes sending the cell measurement result of the first cell corresponding to the first network device and / or the cell measurement result of at least one neighbor cell of the first cell. In some embodiments, the first terminal sends the first information to the first network device, and the first information includes the measurement result of the first channel and / or the measurement result of the second channel.
[0160] In some embodiments, all terminals in the first cell send first information to the network device of the first cell, the first information being measurement results of the first channel and / or measurement results of the second channel, wherein the measurement results of the first channel can be channel measurement results between the terminal and the network device of the cell where the terminal is currently located, and the measurement results of the second channel can be channel measurement results between the terminal and the network device of the neighboring cell of the cell where the terminal is currently located.
[0161] In some embodiments, the first terminal sending the cell measurement results of the first channel and the cell measurement results of the second channel can be by one message or by two messages respectively, which is not limited by the present disclosure, and the message can be carried by uplink signaling, which is not limited by the present disclosure.
[0162] In some embodiments, the cell measurement results can be carried by uplink signaling, for example, RRC signaling.
[0163] In the above embodiments, the first network device instructs the first terminal to perform channel measurement and send the cell measurement results to the first network device, so that the first network device determines whether the terminal can be offloaded to other cells and the target cell for offloading based on the measurement results.
[0164] In step 2104, the first network device sends third information to the first terminal.
[0165] In some embodiments, the third information is used to request to obtain terminal computing power requirements of at least one first terminal.
[0166] In some embodiments, the number of first terminals is not limited, and the first network device can send the third information to at least one first terminal to request the at least one first terminal to send the terminal computing power requirements.
[0167] In some embodiments, the first network device sends the third information to all terminals camping in the first cell corresponding to the first network device to request all the terminals to report the terminal computing power requirements.
[0168] In some embodiments, the first network device sends the third information to part of the terminals camping in the first cell corresponding to the first network device to request to report the terminal computing power requirements, and the part of the terminals can be the terminals sending the cell measurement results to the first network device.
[0169] In some embodiments, the third information can be carried by a third message, and the third message is used to request the terminal computing power requirements.
[0170] In some embodiments, the name of the third information is not limited, for example, “request information for reporting computing power requirements”, “request information for reporting computing power requirements”, etc.
[0171] In some embodiments, the name of the third message is not limited, which is, for example, "request message for reporting computing power demand", "request message for reporting computing power demand", and the like.
[0172] For example, the first network device sends second information to the first terminal, and the second information is used to obtain the computing power demand of the first terminal.
[0173] In step 2105, the first terminal sends the computing power demand to the first network device.
[0174] In some embodiments, the at least one first terminal sends its own computing power demand to the first network device based on the third information.
[0175] In some embodiments, the at least one first terminal sends the first information to the first network device, and the first information includes the terminal computing power demand.
[0176] In some embodiments, the terminal computing power demand can be carried by uplink signaling, and the type of specific signaling is not limited.
[0177] In step 2106, the first network device sends fifth information to the network device of the adjacent area.
[0178] In some embodiments, the first network device sends the fifth information to the network device corresponding to the at least one adjacent area, and the fifth information is used to query the adjacent area computing power state.
[0179] In some embodiments, the fifth information can be carried by a fifth message, and the fifth message is used to query the adjacent area computing power state.
[0180] In some embodiments, the name of the fifth information is not limited, which is, for example, "query computing power state information" and the like.
[0181] In some embodiments, the name of the fifth message is not limited, which is, for example, "query computing power state message" and the like.
[0182] For example, the first network device sends fourth information to the second network device where the adjacent cell is located to query the computing power state of the adjacent cell.
[0183] In step 2107, the network device of the adjacent area sends the computing power state to the first network device.
[0184] In some embodiments, the network device of the adjacent area includes a second network device, and the second network device is the network device of the target cell to be switched by the first terminal.
[0185] In some embodiments, the network device corresponding to the at least one neighboring cell sends its computing power state to the first network device. The computing power state can be whether the neighboring cell provides computing power or the computing power that can be provided. Obtaining the computing power state of the neighboring cell can be used by the first network device to determine whether the neighboring cell can be used as a target cell for handover.
[0186] For example, the network device of the first cell sends a fourth information to the network device of the second network in which the neighboring cell is located to query the computing power state of the neighboring cell, and the network device of the neighboring cell returns its computing power state.
[0187] In step 2108, the first network device determines the second terminal.
[0188] In some embodiments, the first network device determines the second terminal from the at least one first terminal according to the first information. The first information is used to indicate at least one of the cell measurement result of the first cell corresponding to the first network device, the cell measurement result of at least one neighboring cell of the first cell, the computing power requirement of the terminal, and the computing power state of the neighboring cell. The first terminal is a terminal currently camping in the first cell corresponding to the first network device, and the second terminal is a terminal to be offloaded from the first cell.
[0189] In some embodiments, the plurality of terminals in the first cell send the cell measurement result, the computing power requirement of the terminal, and the obtained computing power state of the neighboring cell to the first network device. The first network device determines the terminal to be offloaded from the first cell as the second terminal from the plurality of terminals in the first cell based on the first information. The cell measurement result includes the cell measurement result of the first cell corresponding to the first network device and / or the cell measurement result of at least one neighboring cell of the first cell.
[0190] In some embodiments, the plurality of terminals in the first cell send the cell measurement result and the computing power requirement of the terminal to the first network device. The first network device determines the terminal to be offloaded from the first cell as the second terminal from the plurality of terminals in the first cell based on the cell measurement result and the computing power requirement of the terminal. The cell measurement result includes the cell measurement result of the first cell corresponding to the first network device and / or the cell measurement result of at least one neighboring cell of the first cell.
[0191] In some embodiments, the plurality of terminals in the first cell send the cell measurement result to the first network device. The first network device determines the terminal to be offloaded from the first cell as the second terminal from the plurality of terminals based on the cell measurement result. The cell measurement result includes the cell measurement result of the first cell corresponding to the first network device and / or the cell measurement result of at least one neighboring cell of the first cell.
[0192] In some embodiments, the plurality of terminals in the first cell send cell measurement results and terminal computing power requirements to the first network device, the first network device queries the computing power state of at least one neighboring cell, and the first network device determines, based on the cell measurement results, the terminal computing power requirements, and the computing power state of the at least one neighboring cell, a terminal to be offloaded from the first cell as the second terminal from among the plurality of terminals in the first cell. The cell measurement results include cell measurement results of the first cell corresponding to the first network device and / or cell measurement results of at least one neighboring cell of the first cell.
[0193] In some embodiments, the plurality of terminals in the first cell send terminal computing power requirements to the first network device, and the first network device determines, based on the terminal computing power requirements and its own conditions, a terminal to be offloaded.
[0194] In some embodiments, the plurality of terminals in the first cell send cell measurement results to the first network device, the first network device determines a terminal with poor channel measurement results of the first channel as a terminal to be offloaded, and determines, based on the computing power requirement of the terminal, a second terminal from among the terminals to be offloaded. The cell measurement results include cell measurement results of the first cell corresponding to the first network device and / or cell measurement results of at least one neighboring cell of the first cell.
[0195] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine, as the second terminal, a terminal whose terminal computing power requirement satisfies a first preset condition.
[0196] In some embodiments, the first preset condition can be a maximum value of computing power that the first cell can carry. When the terminal computing power requirement is greater than the maximum value, it indicates that the terminal should be offloaded from the first cell.
[0197] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine, as the second terminal, a terminal whose cell measurement result obtained by measuring the first cell satisfies a second preset condition. In other words, the plurality of terminals in the first cell corresponding to the first network device measure the first cell to obtain a plurality of cell measurement results, and determine, as a terminal to be offloaded, a terminal whose cell measurement result satisfies the second preset condition.
[0198] In some embodiments, the second preset condition can be that the channel measurement result is lower than a certain threshold value, i.e., the communication quality between the terminal and the first cell is poor, and the terminal will be offloaded from the first cell.
[0199] For example, when the channel measurement of the first terminal in the current serving cell is lower than a threshold value, the handover condition is met. Further, when a plurality of terminals meet the handover condition, the first network device can switch out a terminal with a larger computing power requirement.
[0200] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine a terminal as the second terminal if the terminal satisfies a third preset condition on a cell measurement result obtained by measuring a neighbor cell of the first cell.
[0201] In some embodiments, the third preset condition can be that a channel measurement result between the first terminal and the neighbor cell is higher than a certain threshold value, i.e., the communication quality between the terminal and the neighbor cell is better, and then the terminal will be offloaded from the first cell.
[0202] For example, the first network device determines the terminal to be handed over from the at least one first terminal according to a cell measurement result of a second channel sent by the at least one first terminal.
[0203] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine a terminal as the second terminal if the terminal satisfies a third preset condition on a cell measurement result obtained by measuring a neighbor cell of the first cell and satisfies a fourth preset condition on an acquired computing power state of the neighbor cell.
[0204] In some embodiments, the first terminal satisfies the third preset condition on the cell measurement result obtained by measuring the neighbor cell of the first cell can mean that the communication quality between the terminal and the neighbor cell is better, so as to determine the multiple terminals to be handed over, and based on the computing power state of the corresponding neighbor cell, when the computing power of the neighbor cell is free, the terminal can be the offloaded terminal, i.e., the second terminal.
[0205] For example, the first network device determines the terminal to be handed over according to the neighbor cell measurement result reported by the at least one first terminal, e.g., the first terminal and the neighbor cell have better communication quality, and determines whether the terminal can be handed over to the corresponding neighbor cell based on the computing power state of the neighbor cell, i.e., whether the corresponding neighbor cell has free computing power.
[0206] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine a terminal as the second terminal if the terminal satisfies a third preset condition on a cell measurement result obtained by measuring a neighbor cell of the first cell and satisfies a first preset condition on a computing power demand of the terminal.
[0207] For example, the first network device acquires the measurement result obtained by measuring the neighbor cell of the first cell reported by the at least one first terminal, determines the terminal corresponding to better communication quality indicated by the measurement result as the terminal that can be handed over, and determines the terminal with larger computing power demand as the second terminal according to the computing power demands of the terminals.
[0208] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine a second terminal as a terminal whose terminal computing power requirement meets a first preset condition and whose cell measurement result obtained by measuring the first cell meets a second preset condition.
[0209] For example, the first network device can unload a terminal whose computing power requirement is large and whose current communication quality is poor from the first cell.
[0210] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine a second terminal as a terminal whose terminal computing power requirement meets a first preset condition, whose cell measurement result obtained by measuring the first cell meets a second preset condition, and whose neighboring cell computing power state meets a fourth preset condition. In other words, at least one first terminal obtains at least one cell measurement result of the first cell. When the measurement result meets the second preset condition and the corresponding terminal computing power requirement meets the first preset condition, and the neighboring cell computing power state meets the fourth preset condition, the corresponding terminal is determined as a terminal to be unloaded.
[0211] In some embodiments, the fourth preset condition can be that the computing power load of the neighboring cell is lower than a certain threshold value, i.e., the load is small.
[0212] For example, the first network device determines a terminal whose computing power requirement is large and whose current communication quality is poor as a terminal that can be switched.
[0213] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine a second terminal as a terminal whose terminal computing power requirement meets a first preset condition, whose cell measurement result obtained by measuring the first cell meets a second preset condition, whose cell measurement result obtained by measuring a neighboring cell of the first cell meets a third preset condition, and whose obtained neighboring cell computing power state meets a fourth preset condition. In other words, a terminal can be determined as a second terminal when it meets the following four conditions: the computing power requirement meets the first preset condition, the cell measurement result obtained by measuring the first cell meets the second preset condition, the cell measurement result obtained by measuring a neighboring cell of the first cell meets the third preset condition, and the corresponding neighboring cell computing power state meets the fourth preset condition.
[0214] For example, a terminal whose computing power requirement is large and whose current communication quality is poor is determined as a terminal that can be switched, and these terminals are determined as terminals to be unloaded from the first cell together with terminals whose communication quality with the neighboring cell is good and whose corresponding neighboring cell has spare computing power.
[0215] In the above embodiments, the first network device can determine a terminal to be unloaded from the first cell from a plurality of terminals in the first cell based on at least one of a cell measurement result, a terminal computing power requirement, and a neighboring cell computing power state, so as to achieve the purpose of balancing the computing power of the first cell.
[0216] In step 2109, the first network device determines a second cell.
[0217] In some embodiments, the first network device determines, according to the first information, a second cell corresponding to the second network device, the second cell being a target cell to be handed over by the second terminal. The first information can include at least one of a cell measurement result of a first cell corresponding to the first network device, a cell measurement result of at least one neighboring cell of the first cell, a terminal computing power requirement, and a neighboring cell computing power state.
[0218] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine, as the second cell, a neighboring cell whose cell measurement result satisfies a third preset condition.
[0219] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine, as the second cell, a neighboring cell of the first cell whose cell measurement result satisfies the third preset condition.
[0220] In some embodiments, the third preset condition can be that the channel measurement result is higher than a certain threshold value, indicating that the communication quality between the cell and the terminal is better.
[0221] For example, the first network device can determine, according to the measurement results of the terminal on multiple cells, a target cell higher than a certain threshold value.
[0222] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine, as the second cell, a neighboring cell whose acquired neighboring cell computing power state satisfies a fourth preset condition.
[0223] In some embodiments, the fourth preset condition can be that the neighboring cell computing power is spare.
[0224] For example, the first network device can determine, as the target cell of the terminal handover, a cell with more spare computing power.
[0225] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine, as the second cell, a neighboring cell whose cell measurement result satisfies the third preset condition and whose neighboring cell computing power state satisfies the fourth preset condition.
[0226] For example, the first network device determines, according to the measurement results of the terminal on multiple cells, a set of target cells higher than a certain threshold value, and then determines, as the target cell of the terminal handover, a cell with more spare computing power.
[0227] In the above embodiments, the first network device can determine, according to the cell measurement result and / or the neighboring cell computing power state, the target cell of the second terminal handover, so as to realize computing power balancing.
[0228] Step 2110: The first network device sends sixth information to the second terminal.
[0229] In some embodiments, the sixth information is used to instruct the second terminal to enter an idle state. In other words, it can also be used to instruct the second terminal to enter an inactive state.
[0230] In some embodiments, the sixth information can be carried by a sixth message, and the sixth message is used to instruct the second terminal to enter the idle state.
[0231] In some embodiments, the names of the sixth information and the sixth message are not limited, and the sixth information is, for example, “information for instructing to enter the idle state”, “information for instructing to enter the inactive state”, etc., and the sixth message is, for example, “message for instructing to enter the idle state”, “message for instructing to enter the inactive state”, etc.
[0232] In some embodiments, the first network device instructs the terminal to enter the idle state or the inactive state for the purpose of making the terminal to be switched to release resources to perform corresponding switching tasks.
[0233] In step 2111, the first network device sends seventh information to the second terminal.
[0234] In some embodiments, the seventh information is used to instruct the second terminal to perform cell reselection.
[0235] In some embodiments, the seventh information includes at least one of the following: the identity and / or frequency point information of the neighboring cell of the first cell; and the identity and / or frequency point information of the second cell.
[0236] In some embodiments, the seventh information can be carried by a seventh message, and the seventh message is used to instruct the second terminal to perform cell reselection.
[0237] In some embodiments, the names of the seventh information and the seventh message are not limited, and the seventh information is, for example, “information for instructing cell reselection” and the like, and the seventh message is, for example, “message for instructing cell reselection” and the like.
[0238] In some embodiments, the first network device sends the identity and / or frequency point information of the neighboring cell of the first cell to the second terminal, indicating that the first network device does not perform screening on the neighboring cell, but sends all the information of the neighboring cell to the second terminal, and the second terminal selects a cell to access from all the neighboring cells.
[0239] In some embodiments, the first network device sends the identity and / or frequency point information of the second cell to the second terminal, indicating that the first network device has screened the neighboring cell, determined the second cell, and sent the information of the second cell to the second terminal, and the second terminal selects whether to access.
[0240] In the above embodiments, by sending an instruction message to the terminal to be offloaded, the terminal to be offloaded enters the idle state and performs cell reselection, and the terminal to be offloaded can determine which cell to switch to according to the information of a plurality of second cells, thereby realizing the balance of computing power.
[0241] In step 2112, the first network device performs switching.
[0242] In some embodiments, the first network device switches the second terminal to the second cell. The second terminal can be a terminal determined by the first network device from the at least one first terminal that can be switched to another cell, and the second cell is a target cell for switching determined by the first network device based on the first information or a feedback message of the neighboring network device.
[0243] In some embodiments, the first network device determines a plurality of second terminals to be switched, and determines a target cell for each second terminal to be switched based on the first information, and the first network device performs switching each second terminal to the corresponding target cell.
[0244] Step 2113, the first network device sends a switching request message to the second network device.
[0245] In some embodiments, the switching request message includes the first information, and the first information is used to assist the second network device to determine whether to accept the second terminal to be switched to the second cell.
[0246] For example, the first network device of the first cell sends a switching request message to the network devices of a plurality of second cells, wherein the switching request message can include at least one of the cell measurement result and the terminal computing power requirement, and the network devices of the plurality of second cells determine whether to allow the second terminal to be switched to the cell according to the first information and the computing power state of the network devices.
[0247] Step 2114, the second network device sends a feedback message to the first network device.
[0248] In some embodiments, the feedback message is used to indicate whether the second network device accepts the second terminal to be switched to the second cell.
[0249] In some embodiments, the second network device sends a feedback message to the first network device to feed back to the first network device whether to accept the switching of the second terminal.
[0250] For example, the network devices of the plurality of second cells determine whether to accept the switching of the terminal based on the first information and the computing power state of the network devices, and feed back to the network device of the first cell.
[0251] In some embodiments, if the second network device accepts the second terminal to be switched to the second cell, the switching of the second terminal is successful, and if the second network device refuses the second terminal to be switched to the second cell, the switching of the second terminal fails.
[0252] In the above embodiments, the first network device determines the terminal that needs to be offloaded and the target cell to which the offloaded terminal will be switched from a plurality of terminals based on the obtained cell measurement result, the terminal computing power requirement and the adjacent cell computing power state, so that the computing power of a plurality of cells can be balanced, and each terminal in each cell can have good communication quality.

[0323] In some embodiments, the first preset condition can be the maximum computing power that the first cell can carry. When the terminal computing power requirement is greater than the maximum value, it means that the terminal should be offloaded from the first cell.
[0324] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine the terminal whose cell measurement result obtained by measuring the first cell meets the second preset condition as the second terminal.
[0325] In some embodiments, the second preset condition can be that the channel measurement result is lower than a certain threshold value, i.e., the communication quality between the terminal and the first cell is poor, and the terminal will be offloaded from the first cell.
[0326] For example, when the channel measurement of the first terminal in the current serving cell is lower than the threshold value, the handover condition is met, and further, when a plurality of terminals meet the handover condition, the first network device can switch out the terminal with larger computing power requirement.
[0327] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine the terminal whose cell measurement result obtained by measuring the neighboring cell of the first cell meets the third preset condition as the second terminal.
[0328] In some embodiments, the third preset condition can be that the channel measurement result between the first terminal and the neighboring cell is higher than a certain threshold value, i.e., the communication quality between the terminal and the neighboring cell is better, and the terminal will be offloaded from the first cell.
[0329] For example, the first network device determines the terminal to be switched from the at least one first terminal based on the cell measurement result of the second channel sent by the at least one first terminal.
[0330] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine a terminal as the second terminal if the terminal satisfies the third preset condition for cell measurement results of the neighbor cell of the first cell and satisfies the fourth preset condition for the state of the neighbor cell computing power.
[0331] In some embodiments, the first terminal satisfying the third preset condition for cell measurement results of the neighbor cell of the first cell can mean that the communication quality between the terminal and the neighbor cell is good, so as to determine the multiple terminals to be switched, and based on the state of the computing power of the corresponding neighbor cell, when the neighbor cell has spare computing power, the terminal can be the offloaded terminal, i.e., the second terminal.
[0332] For example, the first network device determines a terminal satisfying the third preset condition for neighbor cell measurement results reported by at least one first terminal as a terminal to be switched, e.g., the communication quality between the terminal and the neighbor cell is good, and then determines whether the terminal can be switched to the corresponding neighbor cell based on the state of the computing power of the neighbor cell, i.e., whether the corresponding neighbor cell has spare computing power.
[0333] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine a terminal as the second terminal if the terminal satisfies the third preset condition for cell measurement results of the neighbor cell of the first cell and satisfies the fourth preset condition for the state of the neighbor cell computing power.
[0334] For example, the first network device determines a terminal with good communication quality indicated by the reported measurement results of the neighbor cell as a terminal that can be switched, and determines a terminal with large computing power demand as the second terminal according to the computing power demand of the terminal.
[0335] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine a terminal as the second terminal if the terminal satisfies the third preset condition for cell measurement results of the neighbor cell of the first cell and satisfies the fourth preset condition for the state of the neighbor cell computing power.
[0336] For example, the first network device can offload a terminal with large computing power demand and poor current communication quality out of the cell.
[0337] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine a terminal as the second terminal if the terminal satisfies the third preset condition for cell measurement results of the neighbor cell of the first cell and satisfies the fourth preset condition for the state of the neighbor cell computing power.
[0338] In some embodiments, the fourth preset condition can be that the channel measurement result between the terminal and the network device of the neighbor cell is greater than a certain threshold value, indicating that the communication quality between the terminal and the neighbor cell is good.
[0339] For example, the first network device determines a terminal with a large terminal computing power requirement and a poor current communication quality as a terminal that can be switched, and based on the fact that there is spare computing power in the neighboring cell, the corresponding terminal is unloaded from the cell.
[0340] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine a terminal that meets a first preset condition for a terminal computing power requirement, a second preset condition for a cell measurement result obtained by measuring the first cell, a third preset condition for a cell measurement result obtained by measuring a neighboring cell of the first cell, and a fourth preset condition for a neighboring cell computing power state, as a second terminal.
[0341] For example, a terminal with a large terminal computing power requirement and a poor current communication quality is determined as a terminal that can be switched, and these terminals are determined as terminals unloaded from the cell in combination with terminals with a good communication quality in the neighboring cell and spare computing power in the corresponding neighboring cell.
[0342] In the above embodiments, the first network device can determine, from a plurality of terminals in the first cell, a terminal unloaded from the cell based on at least one of a cell measurement result of the first cell corresponding to the first network device, a cell measurement result of at least one neighboring cell of the first cell, a terminal computing power requirement, and a neighboring cell computing power state, to achieve the purpose of balancing the computing power of the cell.
[0343] Step 2210, the first network device determines a second cell.
[0344] In some embodiments, the first network device determines, according to the first information, a second cell corresponding to the second network device, the second cell being a target cell to be switched by the first terminal. The first information can include at least one of a cell measurement result, a terminal computing power requirement, and a neighboring cell computing power state.
[0345] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine, as the second cell, a neighboring cell with a cell measurement result meeting a third preset condition.
[0346] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine, as the second cell, a neighboring cell of the first cell with a cell measurement result meeting a third preset condition.
[0347] In some embodiments, the third preset condition can be that the channel measurement result is higher than a certain threshold value, indicating that the communication quality between the cell and the terminal is good.
[0348] For example, the first network device can determine, as the target cell, a cell with a measurement result higher than a certain threshold value according to the measurement results of the terminal on a plurality of cells.
[0349] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine, as the second cell, a neighboring cell with a neighboring cell computing power state meeting a fourth preset condition.
[0350] In some embodiments, the fourth preset condition can be that the neighboring cell computing power has a surplus.
[0351] For example, the first network device can select a cell with more surplus computing power as the target cell for terminal switching.
[0352] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine a neighboring cell of the second cell as the target cell for terminal switching, if the cell measurement result of the neighboring cell meets the third preset condition and the neighboring cell computing power status meets the fourth preset condition.
[0353] For example, the first network device can determine a set of target cells higher than a certain threshold value according to the measurement results of the terminal on multiple cells, and then determine a cell with more surplus computing power as the target cell for terminal switching.
[0354] In the above embodiments, the first network device can determine the target cell for the second terminal switching according to the cell measurement result and / or the neighboring cell computing power status, so as to achieve computing power balancing among multiple cells.
[0355] In step 2211, the first network device sends sixth information to the second terminal.
[0356] In some embodiments, the sixth information is used to instruct the second terminal to enter the idle state. In other words, it can also be used to instruct the second terminal to enter the inactive state.
[0357] In some embodiments, the sixth information can be carried by a sixth message, and the sixth message is used to instruct the second terminal to enter the idle state.
[0358] In some embodiments, the name of the sixth information and the sixth message is not limited, and the sixth information is, for example, “idle state entry instruction information”, “inactive state entry instruction information”, etc., and the sixth message is, for example, “idle state entry instruction message”, “inactive state entry instruction message”, etc.
[0359] In some embodiments, the first network device instructs the terminal to be switched to enter the idle state or the inactive state, so as to release resources of the terminal to be switched, and perform corresponding switching tasks.
[0360] In step 2212, the first network device sends seventh information to the second terminal.
[0361] In some embodiments, the seventh information is used to instruct the second terminal to perform cell reselection.
[0362] In some embodiments, the seventh information includes at least one of the following: the identity and / or frequency point information of the neighboring cell of the first cell; and the identity and / or frequency point information of the second cell.
[0363] In some embodiments, the seventh information can be carried by a seventh message, and the seventh message is used to instruct the second terminal to perform cell reselection.
[0364] In some embodiments, the seventh information and the name of the seventh message are not limited, and the seventh information is, for example, "indication information of cell reselection" and the like, and the seventh message is, for example, "indication message of cell reselection" and the like.
[0365] In some embodiments, the first network device sends the identification and / or frequency point information of the neighboring cell of the first cell to the second terminal, indicating that the first network device does not screen the neighboring cell, but sends all the information of the neighboring cell to the second terminal, and the second terminal selects the cell to access from all the neighboring cells.
[0366] In some embodiments, the first network device sends the identification and / or frequency point information of the second cell to the second terminal, indicating that the first network device screens the neighboring cell, determines the second cell, and sends the information of the second cell to the second terminal, and the second terminal selects whether to access.
[0367] In the above embodiments, by sending an indication message to the terminal to be offloaded, the terminal to be offloaded enters the idle state and performs cell reselection, and the terminal to be offloaded can determine which cell to switch to according to the information of multiple neighboring cells, so as to balance the computing power among multiple cells.
[0368] Step 2213, the first network device performs switching.
[0369] In some embodiments, the first network device switches the second terminal to the second cell. The second terminal can be a terminal determined by the first network device from at least one first terminal that can be switched to another cell, and the second cell is a target cell determined by the first network device based on the first information.
[0370] In some embodiments, the first network device determines whether to switch the second terminal to the second cell based on the first information. The second terminal is determined by the first network device based on the first information, and the second cell is determined by the first network device based on the first information, or the second terminal is determined by the first network device based on the identification and / or frequency point information of the cell sent by the first network device.
[0371] In some embodiments, the first network device determines multiple second terminals to be switched, and determines the target cell of each second terminal based on the first information, and the first network device performs switching each second terminal to the corresponding target cell.
[0372] Step 2214, the first network device sends a switching request message to the second network device.
[0373] In some embodiments, the switching request message includes the first information, and the first information is used to assist the second network device to determine whether to accept the second terminal to switch to the second cell.
[0374] In some embodiments, the first network device sends a handover request message to the network device of the target cell to request the network device of the target cell to determine whether to accept the handover of the second terminal.
[0375] For example, the first network device of the first cell determines whether to hand over the terminal to other cells and determines a plurality of target cells according to at least one of the cell measurement result and / or the terminal computing power requirement, and the network device of the first cell sends a handover request message to the network devices of the plurality of target cells, wherein the handover request message can include at least one of the cell measurement result and the terminal computing power requirement, and the network devices of the plurality of target cells determine whether to allow the terminal to be handed over to the cell according to the first information and the computing power state of the network devices.
[0376] In step 2215, the second network device sends a feedback message to the first network device.
[0377] In some embodiments, the feedback message is used to indicate whether the second network device accepts the handover of the second terminal to the second cell.
[0378] In some embodiments, the second network device sends a feedback message to the first network device to feed back to the first network device whether to accept the handover of the second terminal.
[0379] For example, the network devices of the plurality of target cells of the first cell send feedback to the network device of the first cell to indicate whether the cell accepts the handover of the terminal.
[0380] In some embodiments, the second network device determines whether to accept the handover of the second terminal based on the first information and the computing power state of the second network device, and sends feedback to the first network device.
[0381] In some embodiments, if the second network device feeds back to accept the handover of the terminal, the handover of the second terminal is successful, and if the feedback rejects the handover of the terminal, the handover of the second terminal fails.
[0382] In the above embodiments, the first network device determines the terminal that needs to be offloaded from a plurality of terminals based on the obtained cell measurement result, terminal computing power requirement, and neighboring cell computing power state, and determines the target cell to which the offloaded terminal will be handed over, so that the computing power of a plurality of cells can be balanced, and each cell can have good communication quality.

[0386] In step 2301, the first network device sends second information to the first terminal.
[0387] In some embodiments, the second information is used to configure the at least one first terminal to measure the first channel and / or the second channel, the first channel being a channel between the at least one first terminal and the first network device, and the second channel being a channel between the at least one first terminal and a network device corresponding to at least one neighbor cell of the first cell.
[0388] In some embodiments, the second information indicates that the first terminal measures the first channel and / or the second channel, which can be used to determine whether the first terminal can be offloaded to other cells, or the first terminal cannot be offloaded out of the first cell.
[0389] In some embodiments, the second information is information indicating that the terminal performs channel measurement, and the second information can be carried by the second message, which can be carried by downlink signaling without limitation of signaling type.
[0390] In some embodiments, the second information is not limited in name, for example, "channel measurement indication information", "measurement indication information", etc.
[0391] In some embodiments, the second message is not limited in name, for example, "channel measurement indication message", "measurement indication message", etc.
[0392] In some embodiments, the first network device can be a network device of the first cell in which the first terminal currently resides, for example, a base station, and the first terminal can be all terminals or part of the terminals residing in the first cell corresponding to the first network device, without limitation of the number of the first terminals.
[0393] For example, the network device of the first cell sends indication information of channel measurement to all terminals in the first cell, and configures the terminals to measure the channels of the adjacent cells respectively.
[0394] For example, the network device sends first information to the terminal, and the first information includes configuration of the first terminal to measure the channels of the adjacent cells.
[0395] In some embodiments, the channel measurement of the first terminal can be measurement of the state of the communication channel with the neighbor cell, so as to determine the terminal with better communication quality with the neighbor cell, in other words, if the communication quality is good, the first terminal meets the precondition of accessing the corresponding neighbor cell, and if the communication quality is not good, the first terminal does not meet the condition of accessing the neighbor cell and will not be offloaded to the neighbor cell.
[0396] In step 2302, the first terminal performs cell measurement.
[0397] In some embodiments, the number of the first terminals performing cell measurement after receiving the second information can be one or more.
[0398] In some embodiments, the first terminal measures the first channel and / or the second channel based on the second information.
[0399] In some embodiments, the first terminal measures the first information and / or the second channel based on the indication of the first network device, which can be measuring the first cell of the first network device and / or measuring at least one neighbor cell of the first cell.
[0400] In some embodiments, the first terminal measures the first channel can be measuring the channel between the first terminal and the network device of the first cell where the first terminal currently resides. In other words, the first terminal measures the channel between the first terminal and the network device of the cell where the first terminal currently resides for determining whether the cell where the first terminal currently resides can guarantee the communication quality of the first terminal.
[0401] In some embodiments, the first terminal measures the second channel can be measuring the channel between the first terminal and the network device of at least one neighbor cell of the first cell. In other words, the first terminal measures the channel between the first terminal and the network device of at least one neighbor cell of the first cell for determining the channel quality between the first terminal and the at least one neighbor cell, and thus determining whether the first terminal can be offloaded to the at least one neighbor cell.
[0402] For example, the first terminal measures the channel between the first terminal and the network device of the cell where the first terminal currently resides based on the first information.
[0403] At step 2303, the first terminal sends the cell measurement result to the first network device.
[0404] In some embodiments, the at least one first terminal sends the cell measurement result to the first network device, wherein the cell measurement result is determined by the at least one first terminal based on the second information.
[0405] In some embodiments, the first terminal sends the first information to the first network device, wherein the first information comprises the measurement result of the first terminal on the first channel and / or the measurement result of the first terminal on the second channel.
[0406] In some embodiments, the at least one first terminal sends the cell measurement result to the first network device comprises sending the cell measurement result of the first cell corresponding to the first network device and / or the cell measurement result of at least one neighbor cell of the first cell.
[0407] In some embodiments, all terminals in the first cell send the first information to the network device of the first cell, wherein the first information comprises the measurement result of each terminal on the first channel and / or the measurement result of each terminal on the second channel, wherein the measurement result of the first channel can be the channel measurement result between the terminal and the network device of the cell where the terminal currently resides, and the measurement result of the second channel can be the channel measurement result between the terminal and the network device of the neighbor cell of the cell where the terminal currently resides.
[0408] In some embodiments, the first terminal sending the cell measurement result of the first channel and the cell measurement result of the second channel can be sent through one message or through two messages respectively, which is not limited by the disclosure, and the message can be carried by uplink signaling, which is not limited by the disclosure.
[0409] In some embodiments, the cell measurement result can be carried by uplink signaling, for example, RRC signaling.
[0410] In the above embodiment, the first network device instructs the first terminal to perform channel measurement and send the cell measurement result to the first network device, so that the first network device determines whether the terminal can be offloaded to other cells based on the measurement result, and the target cell of offloading.
[0411] Step 2304, the first network device sends the fifth information to the network device of the adjacent cell.
[0412] In some embodiments, the first network device sends the fifth information to the network device corresponding to at least one adjacent cell, and the fifth information is used to query the computing power state of the adjacent cell.
[0413] In some embodiments, the fifth information can be carried by the fifth message, and the fifth message is used to query the computing power state of the adjacent cell.
[0414] In some embodiments, the name of the fifth information is not limited, for example, “query computing power state information” and the like.
[0415] In some embodiments, the name of the fifth message is not limited, for example, “query computing power state message” and the like.
[0416] For example, the first network device sends the fourth information to the second network device where the adjacent cell is located, to query the computing power state of the adjacent cell.
[0417] Step 2305, the network device of the adjacent cell sends the computing power state to the first network device.
[0418] In some embodiments, the network device of the adjacent cell includes the second network device, and the second network device is the network device of the target cell to be switched by the first terminal.
[0419] In some embodiments, the network device corresponding to at least one adjacent cell sends its own computing power state to the first network device. The computing power state can be whether the adjacent cell provides computing power or the situation of the computing power that can be provided. Obtaining the computing power state of the adjacent cell can be used for the first network device to determine whether the adjacent cell can be used as the target cell to be switched.
[0420] For example, the network device of the first cell sends fourth information to the network device of the second cell where the neighboring cell is located to query the computing power state of the neighboring cell, and the network device of the neighboring cell returns the computing power state thereof.
[0421] In step 2306, the first network device determines the second terminal.
[0422] In some embodiments, the first network device determines the second terminal from the at least one first terminal according to the first information. The first information is used to indicate at least one of the cell measurement result of the first cell corresponding to the first network device, the cell measurement result of at least one neighboring cell of the first cell, and the computing power state of the neighboring cell. The first terminal is a terminal currently camping in the first cell corresponding to the first network device, and the second terminal is a terminal to be offloaded from the first cell.
[0423] In some embodiments, a plurality of terminals in the first cell send the cell measurement result to the first network device, the first network device queries the computing power state of at least one neighboring cell, and the first network device determines the terminal to be offloaded from the first cell as the second terminal from the plurality of terminals in the first cell based on the cell measurement result and the computing power state of the at least one neighboring cell. The cell measurement result includes the cell measurement result of the first cell corresponding to the first network device and / or the cell measurement result of at least one neighboring cell of the first cell.
[0424] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine the terminal whose cell measurement result of the first cell satisfies a second preset condition as the second terminal. The cell measurement result includes the cell measurement result of the first cell corresponding to the first network device and / or the cell measurement result of at least one neighboring cell of the first cell.
[0425] In some embodiments, the second preset condition can be that the channel measurement result is lower than a certain threshold value, that is, the communication quality between the terminal and the first cell is poor, and the terminal will be offloaded from the first cell.
[0426] For example, the channel measurement of the first terminal in the current serving cell is lower than the threshold value, and the handover condition is satisfied.
[0427] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine the terminal whose cell measurement result of measuring the neighboring cell of the first cell satisfies a third preset condition as the second terminal.
[0428] In some embodiments, the third preset condition can be that the channel measurement result between the first terminal and the neighboring cell is higher than a certain threshold value, that is, the communication quality between the terminal and the neighboring cell is good, and the terminal will be offloaded from the first cell.
[0429] For example, the first network device determines the terminal to be handed over from the at least one first terminal according to a cell measurement result of a second channel sent by the at least one first terminal.
[0430] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine the terminal as the second terminal if the cell measurement result obtained by measuring the neighboring cell of the first cell meets a third preset condition and the obtained neighboring cell computing power state meets a fourth preset condition.
[0431] In some embodiments, the cell measurement result obtained by the first terminal measuring the neighboring cell of the first cell meeting the third preset condition can mean that the communication quality between the terminal and the neighboring cell is good, so that the multiple terminals to be handed over are determined, and based on the computing power state of the corresponding neighboring cell, when the computing power of the neighboring cell is free, the terminal can be used as the offloaded terminal, i.e., the second terminal.
[0432] For example, the first network device determines the terminal to be handed over from the at least one first terminal according to a cell measurement result of a second channel sent by the at least one first terminal.
[0433] In the above embodiments, the first network device can determine the terminal to be offloaded from the first cell from the multiple terminals in the first cell based on at least one of the cell measurement result of the first cell corresponding to the first network device, the cell measurement result of at least one neighboring cell of the first cell, and the computing power state of the neighboring cell, so as to achieve the purpose of balancing the computing power of the cell.
[0434] Step 2307, the first network device determines the second cell.
[0435] In some embodiments, the first network device determines the second cell corresponding to the second network device as the target cell to be handed over by the first terminal according to the first information. The first information can include at least one of the cell measurement result and the computing power state of the neighboring cell.

[0437] In some embodiments, the third preset condition can be that the channel measurement result is higher than a certain threshold value, indicating that the communication quality between the cell and the terminal is good.
[0438] For example, the first network device can determine the target cell higher than a certain threshold according to the measurement result of the terminal on multiple cells.
[0439] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine, as the second cell, a neighboring cell whose acquired neighboring cell computing power status satisfies a fourth preset condition.

[0445] In step 2308, the first network device sends sixth information to the second terminal.
[0446] In some embodiments, the sixth information is used to instruct the second terminal to enter the idle state. In other words, the second terminal can also be instructed to enter the inactive state.
[0447] In some embodiments, the sixth information can be carried by a sixth message, and the sixth message is used to instruct the second terminal to enter the idle state.

[0455] In some embodiments, the first network device sends the identifiers and / or frequency information of the neighboring cells of the first cell to the second terminal, indicating that the first network device does not filter the neighboring cells, but sends the information of all neighboring cells to the second terminal, so that the second terminal can select the cell to access from all the neighboring cells.
[0456] In some embodiments, the first network device sends the identifier and / or frequency information of the second cell to the second terminal, indicating that the first network device has screened neighboring cells, identified the second cell, and sent the information of the second cell to the second terminal, which then selects whether to access the network.
[0457] In the above embodiments, by sending an instruction message to the terminal to be unloaded, the terminal to be unloaded enters an idle state and performs cell reselection. The terminal to be unloaded can determine which cell to switch to based on information from multiple neighboring cells, thereby balancing the computing power among multiple cells.
[0458] Step 2310: The first network device performs a handover.

The second terminal may be a terminal that the first network device determines from at least one first terminal is capable of switching to another cell, and the second cell is a target cell for the handover determined by the first network device based on first information.
[0460] In some embodiments, the first network device determines whether to switch the second terminal to the second cell based on first information. The second terminal is determined by the first network device based on the first information, and the second cell is determined by the first network device based on the first information, or the second terminal is determined by the cell identifier and / or frequency information sent by the first network device.
[0461] In some embodiments, the first network device identifies a plurality of second terminals to be handed over, and determines the target cell for each second terminal to be handed over based on first information. The first network device then performs the handover of each second terminal to the corresponding target cell.
[0462] Step 2311, the first network device sends a handover request message to the second network device.
[0463] In some embodiments, the handover request message comprises first information, which is used to assist the second network device to determine whether to accept the handover of the second terminal to the second cell.
[0464] In some embodiments, the first network device sends the handover request message to the network device of the target cell to request the network device of the target cell to determine whether to accept the handover of the second terminal.
[0465] For example, the first network device of the first cell determines whether to hand over the terminal to other cells and determines a plurality of target cells according to the cell measurement result, and the network device of the first cell sends a handover request message to the network devices of the plurality of target cells, wherein the handover request message can comprise the cell measurement result, and the network devices of the plurality of target cells determine whether to allow the terminal to be handed over to the cell according to the first information and their own computing power state.

[0467] In some embodiments, the feedback message is used to indicate whether the second network device accepts the handover of the second terminal to the second cell.
[0468] In some embodiments, the second network device sends the feedback message to the first network device to feed back to the first network device whether to accept the handover of the second terminal.
[0469] For example, the network devices of the plurality of target cells of the first cell send feedback to the network device of the first cell to indicate whether the cell accepts the handover of the terminal.
[0470] In some embodiments, the second network device determines whether to accept the handover of the second terminal based on the first information and its own computing power state, and sends feedback to the first network device.
[0471] In some embodiments, the network devices of all the neighboring cells of the first cell determine whether to accept the handover of the terminal based on the first information and their own computing power state, and feed back to the network device of the first cell.
[0472] In some embodiments, if the second network device feeds back to accept the handover of the terminal, the handover of the second terminal is successful, and if the second network device feeds back to reject the handover of the terminal, the handover of the second terminal fails.

[0482] In some embodiments, the first network device can be a network device of the first cell in which the first terminal currently resides, for example, a base station, and the first terminal can be all terminals or part of the terminals residing in the first cell corresponding to the first network device, and the number of the first terminals is not limited.
[0483] For example, the network device of the first cell sends indication information of channel measurement to all terminals in the first cell, and configures the terminals to measure the channels of the neighboring cells respectively.
[0484] For example, the network device sends first information to the terminal, and the first information comprises configuration information for the first terminal to measure the channels of the neighboring cells.
[0485] In some embodiments, the channel measurement of the first terminal can be to measure the state of the communication channel with the neighboring cell, so as to determine the terminal with better communication quality with the neighboring cell, in other words, if the communication quality is good, the first terminal meets the precondition of accessing the corresponding neighboring cell, and if the communication quality is not good, the first terminal does not meet the condition of accessing the neighboring cell and will not be offloaded to the neighboring cell.
[0486] At step 2402, the first terminal performs cell measurement.
[0487] In some embodiments, the number of the first terminals performing cell measurement after receiving the second information can be one or more.
[0488] In some embodiments, the first terminal measures the first channel and / or the second channel based on the second information.
[0489] In some embodiments, the first terminal measures the first information and / or the second channel based on the indication of the first network device can be measuring the first cell of the first network device and / or measuring at least one neighbor cell of the first cell.
[0490] In some embodiments, the first terminal measuring the first channel can be measuring the first channel of the first cell corresponding to the first network device to which the first terminal currently camps. In other words, the first terminal measures the channel between the network device of the cell to which the first terminal currently camps and the first terminal to determine whether the current cell can guarantee the communication quality of the first terminal.
[0491] In some embodiments, the first terminal measuring the second channel can be measuring the channel of at least one neighbor cell of the first cell, in other words, the first terminal measures the channel between the network device corresponding to at least one neighbor cell of the first cell and the first terminal to determine the channel quality between the neighbor cell and the first terminal, so as to determine whether the first terminal can be offloaded to the corresponding neighbor cell.
[0492] For example, the first terminal measures the channel of the neighbor cell and the cell to which the first terminal currently camps based on the first information.
[0493] At step 2403, the first terminal sends the cell measurement result to the first network device.
[0494] In some embodiments, the at least one first terminal sends the cell measurement result to the first network device, and the cell measurement result is determined by the at least one first terminal based on the second information.
[0495] In some embodiments, the first terminal sends the first information to the first network device, and the first information includes the measurement result of the first terminal on the first channel and / or the measurement result of the first terminal on the second channel.
[0496] In some embodiments, the at least one first terminal sending the cell measurement result to the first network device includes sending the cell measurement result of the first cell corresponding to the first network device and / or the cell measurement result of at least one neighbor cell of the first cell.
[0497] In some embodiments, all terminals in the first cell send first information to the network device of the first cell, the first information being measurement results of the first channel and / or measurement results of the second channel, wherein the measurement results of the first channel can be channel measurement results between the terminal and the network device of the cell where the terminal is currently located, and the measurement results of the second channel can be channel measurement results between the terminal and the network device of the neighboring cell of the cell where the terminal is currently located.

[0499] In some embodiments, the cell measurement results can be carried by uplink signaling, for example, RRC signaling.
[0500] In the above embodiments, the first network device instructs the first terminal to perform channel measurement and send cell measurement results to the first network device, so that the first network device determines whether the terminal can be offloaded to other cells and the target cell for offloading based on the measurement results.
[0501] Step 2404: The first network device sends fourth information to the first terminal.
[0502] In some embodiments, the first network device sends the fourth information to at least one first terminal, and the fourth information is used to request the at least one first terminal to obtain the computing power state of the neighboring cell.
[0503] In some embodiments, obtaining the computing power state of the neighboring cell can be obtaining the computing power state of the cell where the channel measurement is performed in step 2402, or obtaining the computing power state of the cell determined by the first network device according to the cell measurement results reported by the first terminal and / or the computing power demand of the terminal.
[0504] In some embodiments, the fourth information can be carried by a fourth message, and the fourth message is used to request the terminal to obtain the computing power state of the neighboring cell.
[0505] In some embodiments, the name of the fourth information is not limited, for example, “computing power state obtaining request information” and the like.
[0506] In some embodiments, the name of the fourth message is not limited, for example, “computing power state obtaining request message” and the like.
[0507] In some embodiments, the neighboring cell computing power state can be whether the neighboring cell provides computing power or the computing power that can be provided, and obtaining the neighboring cell computing power state can be used by the first network device to determine whether the neighboring cell can be used as a target cell for handover, or to determine a target cell that can be used for final handover from a plurality of cells determined based on the cell measurement result and / or the computing power demand of the terminal.
[0508] For example, the first network device sends third information to the first terminal, and the third information is used to configure the first terminal to obtain the computing power state of the target cell. The target cell can be the same as the cell measured in step 2402, or the target cell can be a plurality of target cells determined by the network device of the first cell based on the measurement result of the first terminal and / or the computing power demand reported by the first terminal.
[0509] In step 2405, the first terminal obtains the computing power state of the neighboring cell.
[0510] In some embodiments, at least one first terminal obtains the computing power state of the neighboring cell from the network device corresponding to at least one neighboring cell of the first cell based on the fourth information.
[0511] For example, the terminal obtains the computing power state of the target cell, which can be the cell measured in step 2402, or the target cell determined by the first network device based on the measurement feedback of the first terminal and / or the computing power demand reported by the first terminal.
[0512] In some embodiments, at least one first terminal receives a system broadcast message sent by the network device corresponding to at least one neighboring cell of the first cell, and the system broadcast message includes the computing power state of the neighboring cell.
[0513] For example, the second network device where the target cell is located broadcasts the computing power information of the target cell through system information, such as whether to support providing computing power or the computing power state that can be provided.
[0514] In the above embodiments, the first terminal can actively obtain the computing power state of the neighboring cell through the indication information, or passively receive the computing power state broadcast by the neighboring network device through the system message.
[0515] In step 2406, the first terminal sends the computing power state of the neighboring cell to the first network device.
[0516] In some embodiments, at least one first terminal sends the computing power state of the neighboring cell to the first network device, wherein the computing power state of the neighboring cell is obtained by at least one first terminal from the network device corresponding to at least one neighboring cell of the first cell.
[0517] In some embodiments, the at least one first terminal sends a neighbor cell computing power state to the first network device, wherein the neighbor cell computing power state is received by the first terminal from the network device corresponding to the at least one neighbor cell through a system broadcast message.
[0518] In some embodiments, the at least one first terminal sends first information to the first network device, and the first information includes the neighbor cell computing power state. The neighbor cell computing power state can be obtained by the at least one first terminal from the network device corresponding to the at least one neighbor cell of the first cell based on the fourth information, or can be received by the at least one first terminal through a system broadcast message sent by the network device corresponding to the neighbor cell.
[0519] In some embodiments, the neighbor cell computing power state sent by the first terminal can be sent together with the terminal computing power demand and / or the neighbor cell measurement result through one message, or can be sent through different messages.
[0520] For example, the first terminal returns the obtained computing power state of the target cell to the network device of the first cell.
[0521] In step 2407, the first network device determines a second terminal.
[0522] In some embodiments, the first network device determines the second terminal from the at least one first terminal according to the first information. The first information is used to indicate at least one of the cell measurement result of the first cell corresponding to the first network device, the cell measurement result of the at least one neighbor cell of the first cell, and the neighbor cell computing power state. The first terminal is a terminal currently camping in the first cell corresponding to the first network device, and the second terminal is a terminal to be offloaded from the first cell.
[0523] In some embodiments, a plurality of terminals in the first cell send the cell measurement result and the obtained neighbor cell computing power state to the first network device. The first network device determines the terminal to be offloaded from the first cell as the second terminal from the plurality of terminals in the first cell based on the first information. The cell measurement result includes the cell measurement result of the first cell corresponding to the first network device and / or the cell measurement result of the at least one neighbor cell of the first cell.
[0524] In some embodiments, a plurality of terminals in the first cell send the cell measurement result to the first network device.

[0525] In some embodiments, the first network device determines the second terminal from the terminals to be offloaded by determining the terminals with poor channel measurement results of the first channel from the plurality of terminals in the first cell.
[0526] In some embodiments, the first network device determines the second terminal from the terminals with the cell measurement results of the first cell satisfying a second preset condition.
[0527] In some embodiments, the second preset condition can be that the channel measurement result is lower than a certain threshold, i.e., the communication quality between the terminal and the first cell is poor, and the terminal will be offloaded from the first cell.
[0528] For example, the channel measurement of the first terminal in the current serving cell is lower than the threshold, and the handover condition is satisfied.
[0529] In some embodiments, the first network device determines the second terminal from the terminals with the cell measurement results of the neighboring cell of the first cell satisfying a third preset condition.
[0530] In some embodiments, the third preset condition can be that the channel measurement result of the first terminal and the neighboring cell is higher than a certain threshold, i.e., the communication quality between the terminal and the neighboring cell is good, and the terminal will be offloaded from the first cell.
[0531] For example, the first network device determines the terminal to be handed over from the at least one first terminal according to the cell measurement result of the second channel sent by the at least one first terminal.
[0532] In some embodiments, the first network device determines the second terminal from the terminals with the cell measurement results of the neighboring cell of the first cell satisfying the third preset condition and the neighboring cell computing power state satisfying a fourth preset condition.
[0533] In some embodiments, the cell measurement result of the first terminal and the neighboring cell of the first cell satisfying the third preset condition can be that the communication quality between the terminal and the neighboring cell is good, thereby determining a plurality of terminals to be handed over, and based on the computing power state of the corresponding neighboring cell, when the computing power of the neighboring cell is free, the terminal can be an offloaded terminal, i.e., the second terminal.
[0534] For example, the first network device determines the terminal to be handed over from the at least one first terminal according to the neighboring cell measurement result reported by the at least one first terminal, and determines the terminal with the neighboring cell measurement result satisfying the third preset condition as the terminal to be handed over, e.g., the communication quality between the first terminal and the neighboring cell is good, and determines the terminal as the terminal to be handed over, and determines whether the terminal can be handed over to the corresponding neighboring cell based on the computing power state of the neighboring cell, i.e., whether the corresponding neighboring cell has free computing power.
[0535] In the above embodiments, the first network device can determine, from the plurality of terminals in the first cell, a terminal to be offloaded from the cell based on at least one of the cell measurement result of the first cell corresponding to the first network device, the cell measurement result of at least one neighboring cell of the first cell, and the neighboring cell computing power state, so as to achieve the purpose of balancing the computing power of the cell.
[0536] At step 2408, the first network device determines the second cell.
[0537] In some embodiments, the first network device determines, according to the first information, a second cell corresponding to the second network device, the second cell being a target cell to be switched by the first terminal.

[0539] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine, as the second cell, a neighboring cell of the first cell whose cell measurement result satisfies the third preset condition.
[0540] In some embodiments, the third preset condition can be that the channel measurement result is higher than a certain threshold value, indicating that the communication quality between the cell and the terminal is better.
[0541] In some embodiments, the third preset condition can be that the cell measurement result obtained by measuring the neighboring cell of the first cell is higher than the cell measurement result obtained by measuring the first cell, and the corresponding neighboring cell is determined as the target cell.
[0542] For example, the first network device can determine, according to the measurement result of the terminal on the plurality of neighboring cells of the first cell, a target cell higher than a certain threshold.
[0543] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine, as the second cell, a neighboring cell whose obtained neighboring cell computing power state satisfies a fourth preset condition.
[0544] In some embodiments, the fourth preset condition can be that the neighboring cell computing power has a surplus.
[0545] For example, the first network device can determine, as the target cell for the terminal to switch, a cell with more surplus computing power.
[0546] In some embodiments, the first network device can determine, as the second cell, a neighboring cell whose cell measurement result satisfies the third preset condition and whose neighboring cell computing power state satisfies the fourth preset condition.
[0547] For example, the first network device determines a set of target cells higher than a certain threshold value according to the measurement results of the terminal on the plurality of cells, and then determines a cell with more spare computing power as a target cell for terminal handover.
[0548] In the above embodiment, the first network device can determine the target cell for the second terminal handover according to the cell measurement result and / or the adjacent cell computing power state, so as to balance the computing power among the plurality of cells.
[0549] In step 2409, the first network device sends sixth information to the second terminal.

[0553] In some embodiments, the first network device instructs the terminal to enter the idle state or the inactive state for the handover, so that the terminal to be switched releases resources to perform the corresponding handover task.
[0554] In step 2410, the first network device sends seventh information to the second terminal.
[0555] In some embodiments, the seventh information is used to instruct the second terminal to perform cell reselection.
[0556] In some embodiments, the seventh information includes at least one of the following: the identity and / or frequency point information of the adjacent cell of the first cell; and the identity and / or frequency point information of the second cell.
[0557] In some embodiments, the seventh information can be carried by a seventh message, and the seventh message is used to instruct the second terminal to perform cell reselection.
[0558] In some embodiments, the name of the seventh information and the seventh message is not limited, for example, the seventh information is "information for instructing cell reselection", etc., and the seventh message is "message for instructing cell reselection", etc.
[0559] In some embodiments, the first network device sends, to the second terminal, the identification and / or frequency point information of the neighboring cell of the first cell, indicating that the first network device does not screen the neighboring cell, and sends all the information of the neighboring cell to the second terminal, and the second terminal selects a cell to access from all the neighboring cells.

[0567] In some embodiments, the switching request message includes the first information, and the first information is used to assist the second network device to determine whether to accept the switching of the second terminal to the second cell.
[0568] In some embodiments, the first network device sends a switching request message to the network device of the target cell to request the network device of the target cell to determine whether to accept the switching of the second terminal.
[0569] For example, the first network device where the first cell is located determines whether to hand over the terminal to other cells and determines a plurality of target cells according to the cell measurement result, and the network device of the first cell sends a handover request message to the network devices of the plurality of target cells, wherein the cell measurement result can be included in the handover request message, and the network devices of the plurality of target cells determine whether to allow the terminal to be handed over to the cell according to the first information and the computing power state of the network devices.
[0570] In step 2413, the second network device sends a feedback message to the first network device.
[0571] In some embodiments, the feedback message is used to indicate whether the second network device accepts the handover of the second terminal to the second cell.
[0572] In some embodiments, the second network device sends the feedback message to the first network device to feed back to the first network device whether to accept the handover of the second terminal.
[0573] For example, the network devices of the plurality of target cells of the first cell send feedback to the network device of the first cell to indicate whether the cell accepts the handover of the terminal.
[0574] In some embodiments, the second network device determines whether to accept the handover of the second terminal based on the first information and the computing power state of the second network device, and sends feedback to the first network device.
[0575] In some embodiments, if the second network device feeds back to accept the handover of the terminal, the handover of the second terminal is successful, and if the second network device feeds back to reject the handover of the terminal, the handover of the second terminal fails.
[0576] In the above embodiments, the first network device determines the terminal that needs to be offloaded from a plurality of terminals based on the obtained cell measurement result and the neighboring cell computing power state, and determines the target cell to which the offloaded terminal will be handed over, so that the computing power of a plurality of cells can be balanced, and each cell can have good communication quality.

[0652] The following is a specific scheme one of a communication method provided by the present disclosure, comprising the following steps:
[0653] In step 1, a network device of a first cell, for example, a base station, sends first information to a first terminal device, and the first information includes configuration of the first terminal to measure a channel of a neighboring cell.
[0654] The optional implementation of step 1 can refer to the optional implementation of step 2101 in FIG. 2A.
[0655] In step 2, the first terminal measures the neighboring cell based on the first information and reports the measurement result.
[0656] The optional implementation of step 2 can refer to the optional implementation of step 2102, step 2103 in FIG. 2A.
[0657] Optionally, the network device of the first cell sends second information to the first terminal, and the second information is used to obtain the computing power requirement of the first terminal.
[0658] Optionally, the terminal sends the computing power requirement to the network based on the second information.
[0659] Optionally, the optional implementation of the above step can refer to the optional implementation of step 2104 and step 2105 of FIG. 2A.
[0660] Step 3: The network device of the first cell sends fourth information to the network device of the second cell where the neighboring cell is located, to query the computing power state of the neighboring cell, and the network device of the neighboring cell returns its computing power state.
[0661] The optional implementation of step 3 can refer to the optional implementation of step 2106 and step 2107 of FIG. 2A.
[0662] Step 4: The network device of the first cell determines whether to switch the first terminal to another cell according to at least one information in step 2.
[0663] For example, if the channel measurement of the first terminal is lower than a certain threshold in the measurement result of the current serving cell, it is considered that the terminal meets the handover condition.

[0665] Step 5: The network device of the first cell determines the target cell of the terminal according to any one of step 2 and step 3.
[0666] For example, the network device of the first cell can determine a target cell set higher than a certain threshold according to the measurement result of the terminal on multiple cells, and then determine a cell with more idle computing power as the target cell of the terminal switching.
[0667] The optional implementation of step 5 can refer to the optional implementation of step 2109 of FIG. 2A.
[0668] Step 6: The first network device switches the determined terminal that can be switched to the target cell, or the first network device notifies the terminal to enter an idle state and provides guidance information for cell reselection to the terminal through a fourth message, wherein the guidance information can be determined according to the target cell information in step 7.
[0669] For example, the guidance information can be the cell id of the target cell, the frequency point information of the target cell, etc.
