[0001] Cross-references to related applications

[0002] This disclosure is based on and claims priority to Chinese patent application CN202410976242.8, filed on July 19, 2024, entitled “Signal Measurement Method, Apparatus, Storage Medium and Electronic Device”, and incorporates the entire contents of that patent application by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure relates to the field of communications, and more specifically, to a signal measurement method, apparatus, storage medium, and electronic device. Background Technology

[0004] In the R19 5G-Advanced discussion, a Low Power Wake-up Receiver (LR) was introduced on top of the existing Main Radio (MR) unit to maintain low latency while reducing power consumption. As shown in Figure 1, the MR receiver primarily receives PSS / SSS signals for synchronization and measurement. The LR receiver has two main types: one based on OOK (On-Off Keying) and the other based on OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) sequences. The signals received by the UE (User Equipment) based on different receivers are inconsistent, and the measurement purposes of these different signals also differ.

[0005] The MR receiver receives the existing PSS (Primary Synchronization Signal) / SSS (Secondary Synchronization Signal). When the MR receiver is enabled, the UE performs measurement and evaluation of the serving cell based on SS-RSRP (Synchronization Signal-Reference Signal Received Power) and SS-RSRQ (Synchronization Signal-Reference Signal Received Quality).

[0006] If the current serving cell is deemed to have good quality after measurement and evaluation, the UE will continue to camp on the current serving cell. Conversely, if the current serving cell is found to have poor quality after measurement and evaluation, the UE will decide to perform neighbor cell measurement to reselect the cell.

[0007] In addition, when the network is configured with a high priority frequency and the current cell service quality is good, the UE also needs to perform inter-frequency or inter-system neighbor cell measurements and measure high priority frequency information according to a certain period.

[0008] LR receivers come in two architectures: OOK-based LR receivers and OFDM-based LR receivers.

[0009] OOK-based LR: Primarily receives LP-WUS and LP-SS signals. If DRX is configured and there is no data service transmission, the MR will enter sleep mode, waking up only during DRX activation to perform paging monitoring. LR allows the UE MR to enter deep sleep mode and monitor LP-WUS based on LR. When there is a detection requirement (the network sends a paging message to the terminal), the base station sends an LP-WUS signal to wake up the terminal MR to detect the PO, a process that reduces power consumption.

[0010] For LP-SS, it is similar to the existing primary and secondary synchronization signals, and its main purpose is to perform RRM (Radio Resource Management) measurements. In the R19 technical discussions, LP-RSRP (Low Power Reference Signal Received Power) and LP-RSRQ (Low Power Reference Signal Received Quality) were defined, similar to SS-RSRP and SS-RSRQ. Based on LP-RSRP and LP-RSRQ, the UE performs measurements of the serving cell and determines the current cell quality. It is important to note that when the LR receiver is on, only serving cell measurements are performed, not neighboring cell measurements.

[0011] OFDM-based LR: Primarily receives existing PSS / SSS signals and LP-SS. For OFDM-based PSS / SSS signals, its main function is the same as existing PSS / SSS signals; the only difference is the receiver used to receive the PSS / SSS signals. It still performs neighbor and serving cell measurements based on SS-RSRP and SS-RSRQ. For LP-SS, its main functions are as described above.

[0012] The reception of different signals by different receivers and the coexistence of different receivers can affect the terminal's measurement behavior and power saving effect. A clear definition of the measurement process and terminal measurement behavior is needed to reduce processing latency while ensuring power saving, thereby guaranteeing system performance and user experience. Therefore, after introducing a low-power wake-up receiver and new downlink signals to the existing communication unit, it is necessary to study the specific measurement conditions and procedures to achieve the aforementioned goals.

[0013] Regarding the relevant technologies, there is currently no effective solution to the technical problem of how to measure cell signals by introducing a low-power wake-up receiver and new downlink signals on the basis of existing communication units.

[0014] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the relevant technology to overcome the aforementioned defects. Summary of the Invention

[0042] LP-WUS, Low Power Wake-up Signal.

[0043] PSS, Primary Synchronization Signal.

[0057] intra-frequency, same frequency.

[0058] inter-frequency, different frequencies.

[0059] inter-RAT, a heterogeneous system type.

[0060] This disclosure introduces a low-power wake-up receiver (LP-WUR) into the existing communication unit (MR) of a 5G mobile terminal to process low-power wake-up signals (LP-WUS) and low-power synchronization signals (LP-SS), which can reduce power consumption while maintaining low latency.

[0061] When a terminal is used for mobility management, measurements need to be performed on the received signal for the corresponding measurement purpose. With the introduction of Low Power Wake-up (LPW) technology, existing communication units and LWs can coexist. The terminal uses different received signals from different receivers for measurements, and the definitions of their measurement purposes and requirements are inconsistent. Therefore, under these coexisting conditions, the terminal needs to determine whether to use the signal received from the existing communication unit or the signal received from the newly introduced LWs unit to perform the measurement.

[0062] Another factor to consider is that the signals received by different receivers are not consistent. Therefore, the signals received by the newly introduced low-power wake-up receiver may also be inconsistent. Thus, when the UE receives pilot signals from the base station using different receivers or the same low-power wake-up receiver, it needs to know the transmit power of the different received signals; otherwise, the UE cannot handle the merging and filtering measurements between different signals.

[0063] In summary, considering the impact of the coexistence of existing communication units and the newly introduced low-power wake-up unit on terminal mobility measurement, it is necessary to consider the corresponding measurement conditions and procedures. This disclosure provides a solution to the above problems.

[0064] In one embodiment, FIG3 is a flowchart (a) of a signal measurement method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG3, the steps of the method include:

[0065] Step S302: Determine the range to which the transmitted signal received by the terminal device from the base station belongs, and measure the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device based on the receiver status corresponding to the range to obtain the measurement result. The range includes one of the following: only the first coverage area, only the second coverage area, or the overlapping area of ​​the first coverage area and the second coverage area. The first coverage area is the service area where the low-power wake-up receiver LR is located, and the second coverage area is the service area where the main communication unit MR is located. The transmission power of the transmitted signal is configured by the base station.

[0066] Step S304: Generate a handover control command for the terminal device based on the comparison result between the measurement result and the threshold value configured by the base station, and switch the range according to the handover control command.

[0067] This embodiment of the disclosure introduces a low-power wake-up receiver (LR) based on existing signal receivers (MR) to meet terminal energy-saving requirements. It analyzes the impact of the UE's current state on the measurement process when the UE moves from the edge of the serving cell to the center of the serving cell. On the terminal side: when the UE switches between different states according to handover conditions, it determines the range of the transmitted signals received from the base station; or when the UE switches according to the MR activation parameters and threshold values ​​configured by the base station, it determines the range of the transmitted signals received from the base station based on a comparison between the MR activation parameters configured for the serving cell network corresponding to the UE and a first preset threshold value. Subsequently, the UE measures the serving cell corresponding to the UE based on the receiver state corresponding to the determined range, obtains the measurement results, generates a handover control command based on the comparison between the measurement results and the threshold values ​​configured by the base station, and switches the range according to the handover control command. On the base station side: the base station pre-indicates the MR activation parameters and threshold values ​​configured for the UE to facilitate measurement by the UE. By adopting the above technical solutions, and considering the impact of the coexistence of existing communication units and newly introduced low-power wake-up units on terminal mobility measurement, the measurement process is implemented according to the corresponding measurement conditions. This solves the technical problem of how to perform cell signal measurement when introducing a low-power wake-up receiver and new downlink signals on the basis of existing communication units, and realizes signal measurement based on MR and LR, thereby improving signal measurement efficiency.

[0068] In an exemplary embodiment, the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device includes the current serving cell. The process of measuring the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device based on the receiver state corresponding to the coverage area in step S302 to obtain the measurement result specifically includes the following steps: If it is determined that the coverage area of ​​the terminal device is only the second coverage area, confirm that the receiver state is that the MR is on and the LR is off; measure the current serving cell based on the pilot signal to obtain a first measurement result, wherein the first measurement result includes at least one of the following: SS-RSRP, SS-RSRQ, and the pilot signal includes at least one of the following: primary synchronization signal PSS, secondary synchronization signal SSS; If it is determined that the first measurement result is less than a first preset threshold, set the handover control command to not switch the coverage area of ​​the terminal device; wherein the first preset threshold is used to determine whether a terminal device in the second coverage area can enter the first coverage area.

[0069] Optionally, in one embodiment, a switching control command for the terminal device can be generated based on a comparison between the first preset threshold value and the first measurement result, so that the terminal device switches to the range according to the switching control command.

[0070] Based on the above embodiments, the process of measuring under the condition that the UE is always in fully MR, that is, the terminal device is always only in the second coverage area, will be described.

[0071] In an exemplary embodiment, after measuring the current serving cell based on the pilot signal and obtaining a first measurement result, further, if it is determined that the first measurement result is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold value and the first measurement result is less than the second preset threshold value, it can be determined that the range to which the terminal device belongs changes from only the second coverage area to the overlapping range, and it can be determined that both the MR and the LR are in the on state; the current serving cell is measured based on the pilot signal, wherein the second preset threshold value is used to determine whether the terminal device can completely enter the first coverage area.

[0072] In an exemplary embodiment, the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device further includes neighboring cells of the current serving cell. If the first measurement result indicates that the quality of the current serving cell is lower than a preset serving cell quality, then neighboring cell measurements at the same frequency, different frequencies, and different system types are performed respectively. If the first measurement result indicates that the quality of the current serving cell is higher than a preset serving cell quality, then neighboring cell measurements at the same frequency, different frequencies with equal priority, different frequencies with low priority, and different system types with low priority are not performed. If a high-priority different frequency or high-priority different system type is configured, the MR is controlled to open within a specified period, and measurements are performed on neighboring cells with high-priority different frequency or high-priority different system type based on the pilot signal.

[0073] Optionally, a switching control command for the terminal device may be generated based on the comparison result between the first preset threshold value and the first measurement result, and / or based on the comparison result between the second preset threshold value and the first measurement result, so that the terminal device switches the range according to the switching control command.

[0074] In this embodiment, during the process of generating the switching control command for the terminal device based on the comparison result between the first preset threshold value and the first measurement result, and based on the comparison result between the second preset threshold value and the first measurement result, it can be understood that the first preset threshold value and the second preset threshold value are compared with the first measurement result. For example, if the first measurement result is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold value and the first measurement result is less than the second preset threshold value, the switching control command for the terminal device is generated.

[0075] Based on the above embodiments, the process of measuring when the UE switches from fully MR to MR+LR, that is, when the terminal device changes from being only in the second coverage area to the overlapping area, will be described.

[0076] In an exemplary embodiment, the method further includes: determining that the range to which the terminal device belongs is the overlapping range; if the first measurement result is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold value, determining that the MR changes from an on state to a off state, and determining that the LR is in an on state, then measuring the current serving cell based on the low power synchronization signal LP-SS to obtain a second measurement result, wherein the second measurement result includes at least one of the following: LP-RSRP, LP-RSRQ.

[0077] In an exemplary embodiment, during the measurement of the current serving cell based on the low-power synchronization signal LP-SS, it is further determined that the range of the terminal device is only the first coverage area; neighbor cell measurement at the same frequency, neighbor cell measurement at different frequencies with the same priority, neighbor cell measurement at different frequencies with lower priority, and neighbor cell measurement at different system types with lower priority are not performed; if a high-priority different frequency or high-priority different system type has been configured, the MR is controlled to open within a specified period, and neighbor cells with high-priority different frequency or high-priority different system type are measured based on the pilot signal.

[0078] Based on the above embodiments, the process of the UE switching from MR+LR to fully LR, that is, the terminal device changing from the overlapping range to the measurement condition of being only in the first coverage range, will be described.

[0079] In an exemplary embodiment, the method further includes: determining that the range of the terminal device is only the first coverage area; when it is determined that the second measurement result is greater than or equal to a third preset threshold and the second measurement result is less than a fourth preset threshold, determining that the range of the terminal device changes from only the first coverage area to the overlapping range, and determining that both the MR and the LR are in an on state, and measuring the current serving cell based on the pilot signal; wherein the third preset threshold is used to determine whether the terminal device can completely fall back from the first coverage area to the second coverage area, and the fourth preset threshold is used to determine whether a terminal device completely within the first coverage area can fall back to the overlapping range.

[0080] Optionally, a switching control command for the terminal device is generated based on the comparison result between the third preset threshold value and the second measurement result, and / or based on the comparison result between the fourth preset threshold value and the second measurement result, so that the terminal device switches to the range according to the switching control command.

[0081] In this embodiment, during the process of generating the switching control command for the terminal device based on the comparison result of the third preset threshold value and the second measurement result, and the comparison result of the fourth preset threshold value and the second measurement result, it can be understood that the third preset threshold value, the fourth preset threshold value and the second measurement result are compared. For example, if the second measurement result is greater than or equal to the third preset threshold value and less than the fourth preset threshold value, the switching control command for the terminal device is generated.

[0082] In one exemplary embodiment, the following implementation scheme is further proposed: Measuring neighboring cells of the current serving cell based on the pilot signal; when the quality of the current serving cell is lower than a preset serving cell quality, performing neighboring cell measurements at the same frequency, different frequencies, and different system types respectively; when the first measurement result indicates that the quality of the current serving cell is higher than the preset serving cell quality, not performing neighboring cell measurements at the same frequency, different frequencies with the same priority, different frequencies with lower priority, or different system types; when a high-priority different frequency or high-priority different system type is configured, controlling the MR to open within a specified period, and measuring neighboring cells with high-priority different frequency or high-priority different system type based on the pilot signal.

[0083] Based on the above embodiments, the process of measuring when the UE switches from fully LR to MR+LR, that is, when the terminal device changes from being only in the first coverage area to being in the overlapping area, will be described.

[0084] In an exemplary embodiment, after determining that the range of the terminal device is only the first coverage area, it can also be determined that the range of the terminal device is still only the first coverage area if the second measurement result is greater than or equal to the fourth preset threshold value; the switching control instruction of the terminal device is set to not switch the range, so that the range of the terminal device remains only the first coverage area.

[0085] Based on the above embodiments, the process of measuring under the condition that the UE is always in a fully LR state, that is, the terminal device is always only within the first coverage area, will be described.

[0086] In an exemplary embodiment, the following implementation steps are further proposed: determining that the range to which the terminal device belongs is the overlapping range; if it is determined that the first measurement result of the current serving cell measurement based on the pilot signal is less than the third preset threshold, determining that the range to which the terminal device belongs has completely retreated from the overlapping range to the second coverage range, and then performing the current serving cell measurement based on the pilot signal.

[0087] In one exemplary embodiment, the following implementation steps are further proposed: measuring the neighboring cells of the current serving cell based on the pilot signal; performing neighboring cell measurements at the same frequency, at different frequencies, and at different system types respectively.

[0088] Based on the above embodiments, the process of measuring when the UE switches from MR+LR to fully MR, that is, when the terminal device switches from the overlapping range to the measurement condition of being only in the second coverage range, will be described.

[0089] In an exemplary embodiment, the following implementation steps are further proposed: if it is determined that the second measurement result is less than the third preset threshold value, and it is determined that the range of the terminal device has completely fallen back from only the first coverage range to the second coverage range, then the current serving cell measurement is performed based on the pilot signal.

[0090] In one exemplary embodiment, the following implementation steps are further proposed: measuring the neighboring cells of the current serving cell based on the pilot signal; performing neighboring cell measurements at the same frequency, at different frequencies, and at different system types respectively.

[0091] Optionally, a switching control command for the terminal device is generated based on the comparison result between the third preset threshold value and the second measurement result, so that the terminal device switches to the range according to the switching control command.

[0092] Based on the above embodiments, the process of measuring when the UE switches from fully LR to fully MR, that is, when the terminal device switches from being in the first coverage area only to being in the second coverage area only, will be described.

[0093] In an exemplary embodiment, the following implementation steps are further proposed: when it is determined that the first measurement result is greater than the second preset threshold, the range to which the terminal device belongs changes from only the second coverage area to only the first coverage area, the MR is determined to be in a closed state and only the LR is in a closed state; the current serving cell is measured based on LP-SS.

[0094] In one exemplary embodiment, the following implementation steps are further proposed: determining that the range of the terminal device is only the first coverage area; not performing neighbor cell measurements of the same frequency, neighbor cell measurements of the same priority but different frequencies, neighbor cell measurements of low priority but different frequencies, or neighbor cell measurements of low priority but different system types; and, if high priority but different frequencies or high priority but different system types are configured, controlling the MR to open within a specified period, and measuring neighbor cells with high priority but different frequencies or high priority but different system types based on the pilot signal.

[0097] In an exemplary embodiment, the following implementation steps are further proposed: when it is determined that the second measurement result of the measurement of the current serving cell based on LP-SS is greater than the fourth preset threshold, it is determined that the range to which the terminal device belongs is still only the first coverage range; the handover control instruction of the terminal device is set to not switch the range to keep the range to which the terminal device belongs only within the first coverage range.

[0098] Optionally, a switching control command for the terminal device is generated based on the comparison result between the fourth preset threshold value and the second measurement result, so that the terminal device switches to the range according to the switching control command.

[0099] Based on the above embodiments, the process of the UE always being in fully LR, that is, the terminal device always measuring from the measurement condition of only being in the first coverage area, will be described.

[0100] The above embodiments will be described in conjunction with the following examples:

[0101] Currently, the existing signal receiver is Main Radio (hereinafter referred to as MR). Based on the terminal energy-saving requirements, Low-Power Wake-Up Signal Receiver (hereinafter referred to as LR) is introduced. Then, LR and MR can coexist, as shown in Figure 5. The following situations exist for the coexistence of LR and MR in the current serving cell:

[0102] Option 1 (i.e., case 1 in Figure 5): Legacy state. In this case, the UE is within the coverage area of ​​fully MR, that is, the measurement evaluation of the current serving cell and neighboring cell measurement are performed based on the existing pilot signal-based measurement results RSRP / RSRQ.

[0103] Scheme 2 (i.e., case 2 in Figure 5): Partially offload state. In this state, the UE is within the coverage area of ​​MR+LR. In the current state, MR performs measurement evaluation of the current serving cell and neighbor cell measurement based on the existing pilot signal-based measurement results RSRP / RSRQ, and LR performs measurement of the current serving cell based on LP-RSRP / RSRQ.

[0104] Scheme 3 (i.e., case 3 in Figure 5): Fully offload state. In this state, the UE is within the coverage area of ​​the fully LR, and the LR performs measurements of the current serving cell based on LP-RSRP / RSRQ.

[0105] Based on the analysis of the above three states, one point that needs to be considered is that when the UE moves from the edge of the serving cell to the center of the serving cell, the state of the UE will affect the definition and research of the measurement requirements.

[0106] However, before that, it is necessary to determine the switching conditions between different states of the UE, that is, the conditions for the UE to enter fully LR from fully MR and the conditions for the UE to fall back to fully MR from fully LR, as follows:

[0107] 1. The conditions for a UE to transition from fully MR to fully LR.

[0108] When a UE transitions from fully MR to fully LR, the following two scenarios need to be considered:

[0109] MR entry

[0110] Here, two thresholds are introduced: Thresh 1 (i.e., the first preset threshold value mentioned above) and ThreshMR2LR (i.e., the second preset threshold value mentioned above). The specific understanding of the thresholds is shown in Figure 6. The green circle represents Thresh 1, and the blue circle represents ThreshMR2LR.

[0111] Thresh 1: This is the condition for a UE to enter the LR coverage area from the MR coverage area. This threshold mainly determines whether a UE within the MR coverage area can meet the conditions to enter the LR coverage area, ensuring that subsequent paging monitoring or measurement can achieve the goal of reducing power consumption. This threshold also represents the change of LR from OFF to ON.

[0112] ThreshMR2LR: This is the condition for determining whether a UE enters a fully LR coverage area. This threshold mainly determines whether the MR receiver can change from ON to OFF. If the MR changes from ON to OFF, it indicates that the UE has entered a fully LR coverage area.

[0113] Note: Thresh 1 has more lenient settings compared to ThreshMR2LR. Thresh 1 primarily allows the UE to move from MR coverage to LR coverage, where LR coverage includes both MR+LR and fully LR. ThreshMR2LR has more stringent settings, allowing the UE to directly enter fully LR regardless of whether it is in fully MR or MR+LR.

[0114] 2. Conditions for a UE to fall back from fully LR to fully MR.

[0115] When a UE falls back from fully LR to fully MR, the following two cases need to be considered:

[0116] LR revert to

[0117] Here, two thresholds are introduced: Thresh 2 (i.e., the fourth preset threshold value mentioned above) and ThreshLR2MR (i.e., the third preset threshold value mentioned above). The specific understanding of the thresholds is shown in Figure 7.

[0118] For example, the following embodiments 1 to 6 illustrate the handover process between different states of the UE under handover conditions. The handover process includes: 1. Proposing entry handover thresholds Thresh 1 and ThreshMR2LR. 2. Proposing exit handover thresholds Thresh 2 and ThreshLR2MR.

[0119] Example 1: (UE is always in fully MR).

[0120] When the UE is in fully MR mode, MR is enabled and LR is disabled. At this time, the UE performs serving cell and neighbor cell measurements based on the MR receiver; that is, the UE performs current serving cell quality assessment and neighbor cell measurements based on the pilot signal measurement results RSRP and / or RSRQ.

[0121] Based on the MR measurement of the current cell, if the measurement result is less than Thresh 1, that is:

[0122] MR SS-RSRP / SS-RSRQ <Thresh 1,

[0123] The UE will remain in the fully MR state and will not switch to the LR coverage area; LR will remain off.

[0124] The threshold value can be configured in one of the following ways: predefined by the base station, configured by the base station to the UE via signaling, or indicated to the UE by the base station via signaling. The signaling includes at least one of the following: RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, DCI signaling, or SIB signaling.

[0125] If the threshold is configured via RRC signaling, the indication is in effect until the terminal performs the measurement. After receiving the configuration information, the terminal compares its measurement result with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determines whether to leave the current state.

[0126] If the MAC CE signaling configuration or indication is related to a threshold, then the indication is in effect before the terminal performs the measurement. After the terminal receives the configuration information, it will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0127] If it is a DCI signaling configuration or indication of a relevant threshold, then the indication is in effect before the terminal performs the measurement. After the terminal receives the configuration information, it will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value), and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0128] If the SIB signaling indicates relevant threshold information, then the indication is effective until the terminal performs the measurement. After receiving the configuration information, the terminal will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0129] Example 2: (fully MR→MR+LR→fully LR→MR+LR→fully MR).

[0130] When the UE is in fully MR mode, MR is enabled and LR is disabled. At this time, the UE performs serving cell and neighbor cell measurements based on the MR receiver; that is, the UE performs current serving cell quality assessment and neighbor cell measurements based on the pilot signal measurement results RSRP / RSRQ.

[0131] Based on the MR measurement of the current serving cell, if the measurement result is greater than or equal to Thresh 1 and less than ThreshMR2LR, then the UE transitions from the fully MR state to the MR+LR state. At this time, LR is enabled, i.e.: Thresh 1 ≤ MR SS-RSRP / SS-RSRQ <ThreshMR2LR,

[0132] At this point, for serving cell measurements, the UE transitions from fully MR to MR+LR state, where MR and LR perform measurements of the current serving cell. When both MR and LR are enabled, due to the complexity of the MR and LR receiver structures and their corresponding measurement accuracy, the UE primarily relies on the measurement results from the MR receiver. That is, the UE performs current serving cell measurements based on the pilot signal measurement results RSRP / RSRQ.

[0133] For neighbor cell measurements, the UE performs measurements based on SS-RSRP and / or SS-RSRQ. At this point, the UE's location from the cell center and cell edge is roughly the same. Therefore, whether to perform neighbor cell measurements based on the MR receiver depends on the MR's assessment of the current serving cell's quality. If the current serving cell's quality is poor after assessment, the UE needs to perform neighbor cell measurements at the same frequency, different frequencies, and different system types. If the current serving cell's quality is good after assessment, the UE at least does not need to perform neighbor cell measurements at the same frequency, different frequencies with the same priority, lower-priority different frequencies, or lower-priority different system types. However, when the network is configured with a high-priority frequency, even if the current serving cell's quality is good, the UE still needs to turn on the MR receiver within a certain period to search for high-priority frequency points and measure neighbor cells at those high-priority frequencies based on SS-RSRP and / or SS-RSRQ.

[0134] RAT is an abbreviation for Radio Access Technology. Inter-RAT refers to communication or measurement between different types of wireless communication systems, such as switching from 4G LTE to 5G.

[0135] Conversely, if the MR measurement result is less than Thresh 1, then refer to Example 1.

[0136] Based on the above conditions, the UE is already in MR+LR. At this point, the measurement of the current serving cell mainly relies on the MR receiver. If the MR-based measurement result is greater than or equal to ThreshMR2LR, then the UE meets the conditions for entering fully LR. In this case, MR changes from the enabled state to the disabled state, i.e.: MR SS-RSRP / SS-RSRQ≥ThreshMR2LR.

[0137] At this point, for serving cell measurement, if the measurement results based on the MR receiver meet the above conditions, it can be assumed that the MR receiver is in the off state and only the LR receiver is in the on state. At this time, the UE performs serving cell measurement based on the LR receiver, that is, the UE performs current serving cell measurement based on LP-RSRP / LP-RSRQ.

[0138] For neighbor cell measurements, if the UE is already in a fully LR state, it can be considered that the UE is already in the center of the current serving cell, and its channel quality is good. At least, it does not need to perform neighbor cell measurements at the same frequency, the same priority but different frequency, the low priority but different frequency, or the low priority but different system type. However, when the network is configured with a high priority frequency, even if the UE is in the center of the current serving cell, the UE still needs to turn on the MR receiver within a certain period of time to search for high priority frequency points and measure the neighbor cells of the high priority frequency points based on SS-RSRP and / or SS-RSRQ.

[0139] Conversely, if the MR SS-RSRP and / or SS-RSRQ measurement results are less than ThreshMR2LR and greater than or equal to Thresh1, then refer to Example 2.

[0140] If the MR SS-RSRP and / or SS-RSRQ measurement results are less than ThreshMR2LR and even less than Thresh 1, then refer to Example 1.

[0141] Based on the above judgment conditions, the UE is in the fully LR state. At this time, the UE mainly performs measurements of the current serving cell based on LR. If the measurement result based on LR is less than Thresh 2 and greater than or equal to ThreshLR2MR, then the UE will transition from the fully LR state to the MR+LR state, that is, MR changes from the off state to the on state, i.e.: ThreshLR2MR≤LR LP-RSRP / LP-RSRQ <Thresh 2,

[0142] At this point, for serving cell measurements, the UE transitions from fully LR to MR+LR state, where MR and LR perform measurements of the current serving cell. When both MR and LR are enabled, due to the complexity of the MR and LR receiver structures and their corresponding measurement accuracy, the UE primarily relies on the measurement results from the MR receiver. That is, the UE performs current serving cell measurements based on the pilot signal measurement results RSRP / RSRQ.

[0143] For neighbor cell measurements, the UE performs measurements based on SS-RSRP and / or SS-RSRQ. At this point, the UE's location from the cell center and cell edge is roughly the same. Therefore, whether to perform neighbor cell measurements based on the MR receiver depends on the MR's assessment of the current serving cell's quality. If the current serving cell's quality is poor after assessment, the UE needs to perform neighbor cell measurements at the same frequency, different frequencies, and different system types. If the current serving cell's quality is good after assessment, the UE at least does not need to perform neighbor cell measurements at the same frequency, different frequencies with the same priority, different frequencies with lower priority, or different system types with lower priority. However, when the network is configured with a high priority frequency, even if the UE is located at the center of the current serving cell, the UE needs to turn on the MR receiver within a certain period to search for high-priority frequency points and measure neighbor cells at those high-priority frequencies based on SS-RSRP and / or SS-RSRQ.

[0144] Conversely, if the measurement result based on LR is greater than or equal to Thresh 2, i.e.: LR LP-RSRP / LP-RSRQ≥Thresh 2,

[0145] Therefore, the UE remains in the fully LR state and will not perform a fallback from fully LR to MR+LR.

[0146] Based on the above judgment conditions, the UE falls back from fully LR to MR+LR. At this point, the measurement of the current serving cell mainly relies on the MR receiver. If the MR measurement result is less than ThreshLR2MR, then the UE falls back from MR+LR to fully MR, i.e.: MR SS-RSRP / SS-RSRQ <ThreshLR2MR,

[0147] At this point, for serving cell measurements, the UE is fully back to the fully MR state. The UE's measurements of the serving cell are the same as in Example 1. The UE performs current serving cell measurements based on the pilot signal measurement results RSRP / RSRQ.

[0148] For neighbor cell measurements, the UE performs measurements on neighbor cells based on SS-RSRP and / or SS-RSRQ. At this point, the UE is far from the center of the current serving cell, and the UE needs to perform neighbor cell measurements for the same frequency, different frequency, and different system types.

[0149] Conversely, if the MR measurement result is greater than or equal to ThreshLR2MR and less than Thresh 2, refer to Example 2.

[0150] The threshold value can be configured in one of the following ways: predefined by the base station, configured by the base station to the UE via signaling, or indicated to the UE by the base station via signaling. The signaling includes at least one of the following: RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, DCI signaling, or SIB signaling.

[0151] If the threshold is configured via RRC signaling, the indication is in effect until the terminal performs the measurement. After receiving the configuration information, the terminal compares its measurement result with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determines whether to leave the current state.

[0152] If the MAC CE signaling configuration or indication is related to a threshold, then the indication is in effect before the terminal performs the measurement. After the terminal receives the configuration information, it will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0153] If it is a DCI signaling configuration or indication of a relevant threshold, then the indication is in effect before the terminal performs the measurement. After the terminal receives the configuration information, it will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value), and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0154] If the SIB signaling indicates relevant threshold information, then the indication is effective until the terminal performs the measurement. After receiving the configuration information, the terminal will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0155] Example 3: (fully MR→MR+LR→fully LR→fully MR).

[0156] When the UE is in fully MR mode, MR is enabled and LR is disabled. At this time, the UE performs serving cell and neighbor cell measurements based on the MR receiver; that is, the UE performs current serving cell quality assessment and neighbor cell measurements based on the pilot signal measurement results RSRP / RSRQ.

[0157] Based on the MR measurement of the current serving cell, if the measurement result is greater than or equal to Thresh 1 and less than ThreshMR2LR, then the UE transitions from the fully MR state to the MR+LR state. At this time, LR is enabled, i.e.: Thresh 1 ≤ MR SS-RSRP / SS-RSRQ <ThreshMR2LR,

[0158] At this point, for serving cell measurements, the UE transitions from fully MR to MR+LR state, where MR and LR perform measurements of the current serving cell. When both MR and LR are enabled, due to the complexity of the MR and LR receiver structures and their corresponding measurement accuracy, the UE primarily relies on the measurement results from the MR receiver. That is, the UE performs current serving cell measurements based on the pilot signal measurement results RSRP / RSRQ.

[0159] For neighbor cell measurements, the UE performs measurements on neighbor cells based on SS-RSRP and / or SS-RSRQ. At this point, the UE's location from the cell center and cell edge is roughly the same. Therefore, whether to perform neighbor cell measurements based on the MR receiver depends on the MR's assessment of the current serving cell's quality. If the current serving cell's quality is poor after assessment, the UE needs to perform neighbor cell measurements at the same frequency, different frequencies, and different system types. If the current serving cell's quality is good after assessment, the UE at least does not need to perform neighbor cell measurements at the same frequency, different frequencies with the same priority, different frequencies with lower priority, or different system types with lower priority. However, when the network is configured with a high-priority frequency, even if the current serving cell's quality is good, the UE still needs to turn on the MR receiver within a certain period to search for high-priority frequency points and measure neighbor cells at those high-priority frequencies based on SS-RSRP and / or SS-RSRQ.

[0160] Conversely, if the MR measurement result is less than Thresh 1, then refer to Example 1.

[0161] Based on the above conditions, the UE is already in MR+LR. At this point, the measurement of the current serving cell mainly relies on the MR receiver. If the MR-based measurement result is greater than or equal to ThreshMR2LR, then the UE meets the conditions for entering fully LR. At this time, MR changes from the enabled state to the disabled state, i.e.: MR SS-RSRP / SS-RSRQ≥ThreshMR2LR.

[0162] At this point, for serving cell measurement, if the measurement results based on the MR receiver meet the above conditions, it can be assumed that the MR receiver is in the off state and only the LR receiver is in the on state. At this time, the UE performs serving cell measurement based on the LR receiver, that is, the UE performs current serving cell measurement based on LP-RSRP / LP-RSRQ.

[0164] Conversely, if the MR SS-RSRP and / or SS-RSRQ measurement results are less than ThreshMR2LR and greater than or equal to Thresh1, then refer to Example 2.

[0165] If the MR SS-RSRP and / or SS-RSRQ measurement results are less than ThreshMR2LR and even less than Thresh 1, then refer to Example 1.

[0166] Based on the above conditions, the UE is already in the fully LR state. At this time, the UE performs measurements on the current serving cell based on LR LP-RSRP / LP-RSRQ. If the measurement result is less than ThreshLR2MR, the UE falls back from the fully LR state to the fully MR state, i.e.: LR LP-RSRP / LP-RSRQ <ThreshLR2MR,

[0167] At this point, for serving cell measurements, the UE is fully back to the fully MR state. The UE's measurements of the serving cell are the same as in Example 1. The UE performs current serving cell measurements based on the pilot signal measurement results RSRP / RSRQ.

[0169] Conversely, if the LR LP-RSRP / LP-RSRQ measurement result is greater than or equal to ThreshLR2MR and less than Thresh 2, then refer to Example 2.

[0170] If the LR LP-RSRP / LP-RSRQ measurement result is greater than or equal to Thresh 2, then refer to Example 2.

[0171] The threshold value can be configured in one of the following ways: predefined by the base station, configured by the base station to the UE via signaling, or indicated to the UE by the base station via signaling.

At this time, the UE performs serving cell and neighbor cell measurements based on the MR receiver; that is, the UE performs current serving cell quality assessment and neighbor cell measurements based on the pilot signal measurement results RSRP / RSRQ.

[0178] Based on the MR measurement of the current cell, if the measurement result is greater than or equal to ThreshMR2LR, then the UE directly transitions from the fully MR state to the fully LR state. At this time, MR is in the off state, i.e.: MR SS-RSRP / SS-RSRQ≥ThreshMR2LR.

[0179] At this point, for serving cell measurement, if the measurement results based on the MR receiver meet the above conditions, it can be considered that the MR receiver is in the off state and only the LR receiver is in the on state. At this time, the UE performs serving cell measurement based on the LR receiver, that is, the UE performs current serving cell measurement based on LP-RSRP and / or LP-RSRQ.

At least, it does not need to perform neighbor cell measurements at the same frequency, the same priority but different frequency, the low priority but different frequency, or the low priority but different system type.

[0181] Conversely, if the MR SS-RSRP and / or SS-RSRQ measurement results are less than ThreshMR2LR and greater than or equal to Thresh1, then refer to Example 2.

[0182] If the MR SS-RSRP and / or SS-RSRQ measurement results are less than Thresh 1, then refer to Example 1.

[0183] Based on the above judgment conditions, the UE is in the fully LR state. At this time, the UE mainly performs measurements of the current serving cell based on LR.

[0197] Example 5: (fully MR → fully LR → fully MR).

[0198] When the UE is in fully MR mode, MR is enabled and LR is disabled. At this time, the UE performs serving cell and neighbor cell measurements based on the MR receiver; that is, the UE performs current serving cell quality assessment and neighbor cell measurements based on the pilot signal measurement results RSRP / RSRQ.

[0199] Based on the MR measurement of the current cell, if the measurement result is greater than or equal to ThreshMR2LR, then the UE directly transitions from the fully MR state to the fully LR state. At this time, MR is in the off state, i.e.: MR SS-RSRP / SS-RSRQ≥ThreshMR2LR.

[0200] At this point, for serving cell measurement, if the measurement results based on the MR receiver meet the above conditions, it can be assumed that the MR receiver is in the off state and only the LR receiver is in the on state. At this time, the UE performs serving cell measurement based on the LR receiver, that is, the UE performs current serving cell measurement based on LP-RSRP and / or LP-RSRQ.

[0202] Conversely, if the MR SS-RSRP and / or SS-RSRQ measurement results are less than ThreshMR2LR and greater than or equal to Thresh1, then refer to point 2 of Example 2.

[0203] If the MR SS-RSRP and / or SS-RSRQ measurement results are less than Thresh 1, then refer to Example 1.

[0204] Based on the above conditions, the UE is already in the fully LR state. At this time, the UE performs measurements on the current serving cell based on LR LP-RSRP / LP-RSRQ. If the measurement result is less than ThreshLR2MR, the UE falls back from the fully LR state to the fully MR state, i.e.: LR LP-RSRP / LP-RSRQ <ThreshLR2MR,

[0205] At this point, for serving cell measurements, the UE is fully back to the fully MR state. The UE's measurements of the serving cell are the same as in Example 1. The UE performs current serving cell measurements based on the pilot signal measurement results RSRP / RSRQ.

[0206] For neighbor cell measurements, the UE performs measurements on neighbor cells based on SS-RSRP and / or SS-RSRQ. At this point, the UE is far from the center of the current serving cell, and the UE needs to perform neighbor cell measurements for the same frequency, different frequency, and different system types.

[0207] Conversely, if the LR LP-RSRP / LP-RSRQ measurement result is greater than or equal to ThreshLR2MR and less than Thresh 2, then refer to Example 2.

[0208] If the LR LP-RSRP / LP-RSRQ measurement result is greater than or equal to Thresh 2, then refer to Example 2.

[0209] The threshold value can be configured in one of the following ways: predefined by the base station, configured by the base station to the UE via signaling, or indicated to the UE by the base station via signaling. The signaling includes at least one of the following: RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, DCI signaling, or SIB signaling.

[0210] If the threshold is configured via RRC signaling, the indication is in effect until the terminal performs the measurement. After receiving the configuration information, the terminal compares its measurement result with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determines whether to leave the current state.

[0211] If the MAC CE signaling configuration or indication is related to a threshold, then the indication is in effect before the terminal performs the measurement. After the terminal receives the configuration information, it will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0212] If it is a DCI signaling configuration or indication of a relevant threshold, then the indication is in effect before the terminal performs the measurement. After the terminal receives the configuration information, it will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value), and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0213] If the SIB signaling indicates relevant threshold information, then the indication is effective until the terminal performs the measurement. After receiving the configuration information, the terminal will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0214] Example 6: (UE is always in fully LR).

[0215] If the UE enters fully LR after meeting the conditions of fully MR, then only LR will perform the measurement of the current serving cell.

[0216] For serving cell measurement, the UE performs serving cell measurement based on the LR receiver, that is, the UE performs current serving cell measurement based on LP-RSRP and / or LP-RSRQ.

[0217] For neighbor cell measurements, if the UE is already in a fully LR state, it can be considered that the UE is already in the center of the current serving cell, and its channel quality is good. At least, it does not need to perform neighbor cell measurements at the same frequency, the same priority but different frequency, the low priority but different frequency, or the low priority but different system type. However, when the network is configured with a high priority frequency, even if the UE is in the center of the current serving cell, the UE still needs to turn on the MR receiver within a certain period of time to search for high priority frequency points and measure the neighbor cells of the high priority frequency points based on SS-RSRP and / or SS-RSRQ.

[0218] If the measurement result based on LR is greater than or equal to Thresh 2, i.e.: LR LP-RSRP / LP-RSRQ≥Thresh 2,

[0219] The UE remains in a fully LR state.

[0220] The threshold value can be configured in one of the following ways: predefined by the base station, configured by the base station to the UE via signaling, or indicated to the UE by the base station via signaling. The signaling includes at least one of the following: RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, DCI signaling, or SIB signaling.

[0221] If the threshold is configured via RRC signaling, the indication is in effect until the terminal performs the measurement. After receiving the configuration information, the terminal compares its measurement result with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determines whether to leave the current state.

[0222] If the MAC CE signaling configuration or indication is related to a threshold, then the indication is in effect before the terminal performs the measurement. After the terminal receives the configuration information, it will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0223] If it is a DCI signaling configuration or indication of a relevant threshold, then the indication is in effect before the terminal performs the measurement. After the terminal receives the configuration information, it will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value), and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0224] If the SIB signaling indicates relevant threshold information, then the indication is effective until the terminal performs the measurement. After receiving the configuration information, the terminal will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0225] In an exemplary embodiment, the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device includes the current serving cell. The technical solution for determining the range of the transmitted signal received by the terminal device from the base station in step S302 above specifically includes the following steps: determining the range of the transmitted signal received by the terminal device from the base station based on the MR enable parameters configured for the cell network of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device, the comparison result of the measurement result and a first preset threshold value, including: determining that the receiver state is MR enabled based on the MR enable parameters; obtaining a first measurement result obtained after measuring the current serving cell based on pilot signals; determining that the range is the overlapping range if the first measurement result is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold value; and determining that the range is only the second coverage area if the first measurement result is less than the first preset threshold value.

[0226] In an exemplary embodiment, a process for measuring the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device based on the receiver state corresponding to the range is also proposed. The specific steps include: determining whether to measure the neighboring cells of the current serving cell based on the first measurement result, including: when the first measurement result indicates that the quality of the current serving cell is higher than a preset serving cell quality, and the cell network is not configured with high-priority inter-frequency or high-priority inter-system type, the terminal device does not perform neighboring cell measurements at the same frequency, inter-frequency measurements at the same priority, inter-frequency measurements at low priority, or inter-system type; when the first measurement result indicates that the quality of the current serving cell is lower than a preset serving cell quality, and the cell network is not configured with high-priority inter-frequency or high-priority inter-system type, neighboring cell measurements at the same frequency, inter-frequency, and inter-system type are performed respectively.

[0227] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, after determining that the receiver state is that the MR is in the on state based on the MR on parameters, a switching control command for the terminal device can be generated based on the comparison result of the first preset threshold value and the first measurement result, so that the terminal device switches the range according to the switching control command.

[0228] Based on the above embodiments, the measurement process is described under the measurement condition that the UE is not configured with a high-priority frequency, but is configured with MRservON (indicating that the serving cell is open, i.e., the above-mentioned MR opening parameter) and threshold value.

[0229] In an exemplary embodiment, the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device includes the current serving cell. The implementation process of determining the range of the transmitted signal received by the terminal device from the base station in step S302 can also be described by the following steps: when it is determined that the receiver state is that the MR is off and the LR is on, it is determined that the range is only the first coverage range; the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device is measured based on the receiver state corresponding to the range, including: measuring the current serving cell based on LP-SS; when it is determined that the receiver state is that the MR is off and the cell network of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device is not configured with high priority inter-frequency or high priority inter-system type, the neighboring cells of the current serving cell are not measured.

[0230] Based on the above embodiments, the measurement process is explained under the measurement conditions that the UE is not configured with a high-priority frequency and is not configured with MRservON (indicating the serving cell is open, i.e., the above-mentioned MR enable parameter) and threshold value.

[0231] In an exemplary embodiment, the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device includes the current serving cell, and step S302 further includes the following steps: determining the range to which the transmitted signal received by the terminal device from the base station belongs based on a comparison result between the MR enable parameter configured for the cell network of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device and a first preset threshold value, including: determining that the MR is in an enabled state based on the MR enable parameter; obtaining a first measurement result obtained after measuring the current serving cell based on pilot signals; determining that the range belongs to the overlapping range if the first measurement result is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold value; and determining that the range belongs to the second coverage range only if the first measurement result is less than the first preset threshold value.

[0232] In an exemplary embodiment, the process of measuring the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device based on the receiver state corresponding to the range is described by the following technical solution: determining whether to measure the neighboring cells of the current serving cell based on the first measurement result includes: when the first measurement result indicates that the quality of the current serving cell is higher than the preset serving cell quality, and the cell network is configured with high priority inter-frequency or high priority inter-system type, controlling the MR to open within a specified period, and performing high priority inter-frequency and high priority inter-system type neighboring cell measurements respectively based on the pilot signal; when the first measurement result indicates that the quality of the current serving cell is lower than the preset serving cell quality, and the cell network is configured with high priority inter-frequency or high priority inter-system type, performing same-frequency neighboring cell measurements, different-frequency neighboring cell measurements, and different-system type neighboring cell measurements respectively.

[0233] Based on the above embodiments, the measurement process is described under the measurement conditions that the UE has been configured with a high-priority frequency and configured with MRservON (indicating the serving cell is open, i.e., the above-mentioned MR enable parameter) and threshold value.

[0234] In an exemplary embodiment, the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device includes the current serving cell. The range to which the transmitted signal received by the terminal device from the base station belongs can be determined by the following technical solutions: when the receiver state is determined to be that the MR is off and the LR is on, the range is determined to be only a first coverage range; the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device is measured based on the receiver state corresponding to the range, including: measuring the current serving cell based on LP-SS to obtain a second measurement result; when the cell network configuration of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device is determined to be high priority inter-frequency or high priority inter-system type, neighboring cells with high priority inter-frequency or high priority inter-system type are measured.

[0235] In an exemplary embodiment, measuring neighboring cells with high priority different frequencies or high priority different system types includes: determining that the MR changes from a closed state to an open state, then measuring the current serving cell based on the pilot signal to obtain a first measurement result; and performing neighboring cell measurements of the same frequency, different frequencies, and different system types based on the comparison result of the first measurement result and the threshold value.

[0236] Based on the above embodiments, the measurement process is described under the measurement condition that the UE has been configured with a high-priority frequency, but has not been configured with MRservON (indicating the state of the serving cell being open, i.e., the above-mentioned MR enabling parameters) and threshold value.

[0237] In one exemplary embodiment, the threshold value is determined by at least one of the following: predefined by the base station, configured by signaling, or indicated by signaling.

[0238] In an exemplary embodiment, the signaling includes at least one of the following: Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, Media Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) signaling, Downlink Control Information (DCI) signaling, System Information Block (SIB) signaling. During the process of generating a handover control command for the terminal device based on a comparison between the measurement result and a threshold value configured by the base station, and switching the range according to the handover control command, the threshold value includes at least one of the following: a first preset threshold value, a second preset threshold value, a third preset threshold value, and a fourth preset threshold value. The measurement result includes at least one of the following: a first measurement result obtained by measuring the current serving cell based on pilot signals, and a second measurement result obtained by measuring the current serving cell based on LP-SS signals.

[0239] Based on the above embodiments, for the handover process based on measurement configuration, two conditions are introduced here:

[0240] MRservON: If this field is configured on the network, it means that the MR receiver is either always on or has changed from off to on. If this field is not configured on the network, it means that the MR receiver is off.

[0241] Thresh 1: The condition for MR to enter LR coverage area (as shown in Figure 6). This threshold mainly determines whether a UE within MR coverage area can meet the condition to enter LR coverage area, ensuring that subsequent paging monitoring or measurement can achieve the goal of reducing power consumption. This threshold also represents LR changing from OFF to ON.

[0242] For example, the UE handover process based on configured MR parameters is described in conjunction with the following embodiments 7 to 10, including: 1. Proposing the state when the network does not configure a high-priority frequency point but MRservON is configured / not configured. 2. Proposing the state when the network configures a high-priority frequency point and MRservON is configured / not configured.

[0243] Example 7: MRservON and Thresh 1 are configured under the condition that the network does not configure high-priority frequency points (non-high priority frequency with configuring MRservON and Thresh 1).

[0244] When the network configures carrier frequency information without high priority frequency and configures MRservON (the state where the serving cell is turned on) and Thresh 1:

[0245] When the MR receiver is in the on state, at this time the UE is in the MR+LR or fully MR state.

[0246] If the network configures the MR on-switch and configures Thresh 1, then the UE can judge which state the UE should be in based on the service cell measurement results of the MR receiver. When MR is on, the UE is far from the fully LR state.

[0247] If MR SS-RSRP / SS-RSRQ≥Thresh 1, it means that the quality of the current serving cell is relatively good, so the UE is in the MR+LR state.

[0248] If MR SS-RSRP / SS-RSRQ<Thresh 1, it means that the quality of the current serving cell is relatively poor, so the UE is in the fully MR state.

[0249] If the network configures the MR on-switch and configures Thresh 1, then the UE can judge which state the UE should be in based on the service cell measurement results of the MR receiver. When MR is on, the UE is far from the fully LR state.

[0250] At this time, it is judged whether to perform neighbor cell measurement based on MR SS-RSRP and / or SS-RSRQ:

[0251] If it is judged from the MR measurement results that the service cell measurement results are good, and the network does not configure high priority frequency. Then the UE cannot perform intra-frequency neighbor cell measurement, co-priority inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement, low-priority inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement, and low-priority inter-system neighbor cell measurement.

[0252] If the serving cell measurement results are deemed poor based on the MR (Mean Access Detection) results, and the network is not configured with a high priority frequency, then the UE needs to perform neighbor cell measurements at the same frequency, different frequencies, and different system types using the MR receiver.

[0253] The threshold value can be configured in one of the following ways: predefined by the base station, configured by the base station to the UE via signaling, or indicated to the UE by the base station via signaling. The signaling includes at least one of the following: RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, DCI signaling, or SIB signaling.

[0254] If the threshold is configured via RRC signaling, the indication is in effect until the terminal performs the measurement. After receiving the configuration information, the terminal compares its measurement result with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determines whether to leave the current state.

[0255] If the MAC CE signaling configuration or indication is related to a threshold, then the indication is in effect before the terminal performs the measurement. After the terminal receives the configuration information, it will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0256] If it is a DCI signaling configuration or indication of a relevant threshold, then the indication is in effect before the terminal performs the measurement. After the terminal receives the configuration information, it will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value), and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0257] If the SIB signaling indicates relevant threshold information, then the indication is effective until the terminal performs the measurement. After receiving the configuration information, the terminal will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0258] Example 8: When the network is not configured with high-priority frequency points, MRservON is not configured.

[0259] When the network is configured with carrier frequency information but without high priority frequency and MRservON is not configured:

[0260] When the MR receiver is off, the UE can only be in a fully LR state. In this state, the UE can only perform serving cell measurements based on the LR receiver, i.e., the UE performs current serving cell measurements based on LR LP-RSRP / LP-RSRQ. If the MR is off and the network is not configured with a high priority frequency, the UE will not perform neighbor cell measurements.

[0261] The threshold value can be configured in one of the following ways: predefined by the base station, configured by the base station to the UE via signaling, or indicated to the UE by the base station via signaling. The signaling includes at least one of the following: RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, DCI signaling, or SIB signaling.

[0262] If the threshold is configured via RRC signaling, the indication is in effect until the terminal performs the measurement. After receiving the configuration information, the terminal compares its measurement result with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determines whether to leave the current state.

[0263] If the MAC CE signaling configuration or indication is related to a threshold, then the indication is in effect before the terminal performs the measurement. After the terminal receives the configuration information, it will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0264] If it is a DCI signaling configuration or indication of a relevant threshold, then the indication is in effect before the terminal performs the measurement. After the terminal receives the configuration information, it will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value), and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0265] If the SIB signaling indicates relevant threshold information, then the indication is effective until the terminal performs the measurement. After receiving the configuration information, the terminal will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0266] Example 9: Under the condition of configuring a high priority frequency point in the network and configuring MRservON and Thresh 1.

[0267] When the network is configured with carrier frequency information with high priority frequency and MRservON and Thresh 1 are configured:

[0268] When the MR receiver is in the on state, the UE is in the MR+LR or fully MR state at this time. If the network configures the MR on switch and configures Thresh 1, then the UE can use the serving cell measurement results based on the MR receiver to determine which state the UE should be in. When MR is on, the UE is far away.

[0269] If MR SS-RSRP / SS-RSRQ ≥ Thresh 1, it means that the quality of the current serving cell is relatively good, so the UE is in the MR+LR state.

[0270] If MR SS-RSRP / SS-RSRQ < Thresh 1, it means that the quality of the current serving cell is relatively poor, so the UE is in the fully MR state.

[0271] If the network configures the MR on switch and configures Thresh 1, then the UE can use the serving cell measurement results based on the MR receiver to determine which state the UE should be in. When MR is on, the UE cannot be in the fully LR state.

[0272] At this time, it is judged whether to perform neighbor cell measurement based on MR SS-RSRP and / or SS-RSRQ:

[0273] If it is judged from the MR-based measurement results that the serving cell measurement results are good, and the network configures high priority frequency. Then the UE will perform high-priority inter-frequency and high-priority inter-system type neighbor cell measurements on the high-priority frequency neighbor cells based on the MR receiver within a certain period.

[0274] If it is judged from the MR-based measurement results that the serving cell measurement results are poor, and the network configures high priority frequency. Then the UE needs to perform intra-frequency, inter-frequency and inter-system type neighbor cell measurements based on the MR receiver.

[0275] Among them, the threshold value can be configured in one of the following ways: predefined by the base station, configured by the base station to the UE through signaling, indicated by the base station to the UE through signaling, and the signaling includes at least one of the following: RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, DCI signaling, SIB signaling.

[0276] If relevant thresholds are configured by RRC signaling, then this indication is valid before the terminal performs measurements. After the terminal receives the configuration information, it will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value), and judge whether to leave the current state after comparison.

[0277] If the MAC CE signaling configuration or indication is related to a threshold, then the indication is in effect before the terminal performs the measurement. After the terminal receives the configuration information, it will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0278] If it is a DCI signaling configuration or indication of a relevant threshold, then the indication is in effect before the terminal performs the measurement. After the terminal receives the configuration information, it will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value), and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0279] If the SIB signaling indicates relevant threshold information, then the indication is effective until the terminal performs the measurement. After receiving the configuration information, the terminal will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0280] Example 10: Under the condition of configuring high priority frequency points in the network, MRservON is not configured.

[0281] When the network is configured with carrier frequency information with high priority frequency and MRservON is not configured:

[0282] When the MR receiver is off, the UE can only be in a fully LR state. In this state, the UE can only perform serving cell measurements based on the LR receiver, specifically using LR LP-RSRP / LP-RSRQ. If the network has high-priority frequency neighbor cell information configured, the UE needs to perform measurements on high-priority frequencies. Therefore, the MR receiver needs to be switched from off to on, and the UE performs high-priority inter-frequency and high-priority inter-system type neighbor cell measurements based on MR SS-RSRP and / or SS-RSRQ.

[0283] The threshold value can be configured in one of the following ways: predefined by the base station, configured by the base station to the UE via signaling, or indicated to the UE by the base station via signaling. The signaling includes at least one of the following: RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, DCI signaling, or SIB signaling.

[0284] If the threshold is configured via RRC signaling, the indication is in effect until the terminal performs the measurement. After receiving the configuration information, the terminal compares its measurement result with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determines whether to leave the current state.

[0285] If the MAC CE signaling configuration or indication is related to a threshold, then the indication is in effect before the terminal performs the measurement. After the terminal receives the configuration information, it will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0286] If it is a DCI signaling configuration or indication of a relevant threshold, then the indication is in effect before the terminal performs the measurement. After the terminal receives the configuration information, it will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value), and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0287] If the SIB signaling indicates relevant threshold information, then the indication is effective until the terminal performs the measurement. After receiving the configuration information, the terminal will compare its measurement results with the configuration information (such as the configured threshold value) and then determine whether to leave the current state.

[0288] Furthermore, in one embodiment, a signal measurement method for a base station is also proposed, the specific steps of which are shown in Figure 4, including:

[0289] Step S402: The transmitted signal and the threshold value configured for the terminal device are sent to the terminal device so that the terminal device measures the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device based on the receiver state corresponding to the range to which the transmitted signal belongs, obtains the measurement result, generates a handover control command for the terminal device based on the comparison result of the measurement result and the threshold value, and switches the range according to the handover control command.

[0290] This embodiment introduces a low-power wake-up receiver (LR) based on the existing signal receiver (MR) to meet terminal energy-saving requirements. It analyzes the impact of the UE's current state on the measurement process when the UE moves from the edge to the center of the serving cell. On the terminal side: when the UE switches between different states according to handover conditions, it determines the range of the transmitted signals received from the base station; or when the UE switches according to the MR activation parameters and threshold values ​​configured by the base station, it determines the range of the transmitted signals received from the base station based on a comparison between the MR activation parameters configured for the serving cell network corresponding to the UE and a first preset threshold value. Subsequently, the UE measures the serving cell corresponding to the UE based on the receiver state corresponding to the determined range, obtains the measurement results, generates a handover control command based on the comparison between the measurement results and the threshold values ​​configured by the base station, and switches the range according to the handover control command. On the base station side: the base station pre-indicates the MR activation parameters and threshold values ​​configured for the UE to facilitate measurement. By adopting the above technical solutions, and considering the impact of the coexistence of existing communication units and newly introduced low-power wake-up units on terminal mobility measurement, the measurement process is implemented according to the corresponding measurement conditions. This solves the technical problem of how to perform cell signal measurement when introducing a low-power wake-up receiver and new downlink signals on the basis of existing communication units, and realizes signal measurement based on MR and LR, thereby improving signal measurement efficiency.

[0291] In an exemplary embodiment, after sending the transmitted signal and a threshold value configured for the terminal device to the terminal device, the method further includes: configuring MR enable parameters for the cell network of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device; sending the MR enable parameters to the terminal device so that the terminal device measures the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device based on the receiver state corresponding to the MR enable parameters, obtains the measurement result, generates a handover control command for the terminal device based on the comparison result of the measurement result and the threshold value, and switches the range according to the handover control command.

[0292] Unlike the above embodiments that provide a signal measurement scheme for terminal devices by configuring threshold values ​​for UEs through base stations, this embodiment further provides a new scheme for terminal devices to perform signal measurement based on MR enabling parameters and threshold values ​​by configuring MR enabling parameters for the cell network of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device through base stations. This can enrich the signal measurement methods and improve the efficiency and accuracy of signal measurement.

[0293] In an exemplary embodiment, after sending the transmitted signal and the threshold value configured for the terminal device to the terminal device, the method further includes: configuring the transmission power of different transmitted signals according to a preset configuration method; sending the different transmitted signals and the transmission power of the different transmitted signals to the terminal device, so that the terminal device performs a filtering measurement operation based on the merged different transmitted signals, wherein the different transmitted signals include one of the following: a first transmitted signal received by the terminal device through the main communication unit MR and a second transmitted signal received by the terminal device through a low-power wake-up receiver LR, and transmitted signals received by the low-power wake-up receiver LR of different types.

[0294] This embodiment configures the signal power on the base station side, which facilitates the terminal device to merge and filter different received signals according to the power information, thereby improving the terminal device's signal processing capability.

[0295] In an exemplary embodiment, the preset configuration method includes at least direct configuration. Therefore, the process of configuring the transmission power of different transmission signals according to the preset configuration method in step S402 may include: when the different transmission signals include a first transmission signal received by the terminal device through the main communication unit MR and a second transmission signal received by the terminal device through the low-power wake-up receiver LR, configuring the transmission power in one of the following ways: configuring MR SSS power X and LP-WUS power Y for the cell network of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device; configuring MR SSS power X and OOK-based LR LP-SS power Y for the cell network of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device; configuring MR SSS power X and OFDM-based LR PSS / SSS power Y for the cell network of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device; configuring MR SSS power X and OFDM-based LR LP-SS power Y for the cell network of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device.

[0296] In an exemplary embodiment, the preset configuration method includes at least indirect configuration. Therefore, the process of configuring the transmission power of different transmission signals according to the preset configuration method in step S402 may further include: determining a first known signal of the cell network of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device, wherein the transmission power of the first known signal has been synchronized to the terminal device; indicating the power offset value between the first known signal and LP-WUS, then determining the power of LP-WUS as the sum of the power value of the first known signal and the power offset value; indicating the power offset value between the first known signal and OOK-based LR LP-SS, then determining the power of OOK-based LR LP-SS as the sum of the power value of the first known signal and the power offset value; indicating the power offset value between the first known signal and OFDM-based LR PSS / SSS, then determining the power of OFDM-based LR PSS / SSS as the sum of the power value of the first known signal and the power offset value; indicating the power offset value between the first known signal and OFDM-based LR LP-SS, then determining the power of OFDM-based LR LP-SS as the sum of the power value of the first known signal and the power offset value; indicating the power offset value between the first known signal and OFDM-based LR LP-SS, then determining the power of OFDM-based LR LP-SS as the sum of the power value of the first known signal and the power offset value; indicating the power offset value between the first known signal and OFDM-based LR LP-SS, then determining the power of OFDM-based LR LP-SS as the sum of the power value of the first known signal and the power offset value; indicating the power offset value between the first known signal and OFDM-based LR LP-SS, then determining the power of OFDM-based LR LP-SS as the sum of the power of the first known signal and the power offset value. The power of LP-SS is the sum of the power value of the first known signal and the power offset value.

[0297] It is understood that the first known signal may include, but is not limited to, MR SSS, and may also include other pre-configured signals. The embodiments described below use MR SSS as an example only, but are not intended to be limiting.

[0298] In one exemplary embodiment, a further proposed technical solution is to transmit the different transmitted signals and their transmission powers to a terminal device so that the terminal device performs a filtering measurement operation based on the merged different transmitted signals. Specifically, this includes: transmitting the first transmitted signal, the second transmitted signal, the transmission power of the first transmitted signal, and the transmission power of the second transmitted signal to the terminal device so that the terminal device receives the first transmitted signal and the second transmitted signal at different times and performs a filtering measurement operation based on the merged first transmitted signal and the second transmitted signal.

[0299] In one exemplary embodiment, when the transmission power of the different transmitted signals is configured to the terminal device via signaling, the first transmitted signal and the second transmitted signal are sent to the terminal device so that the terminal device receives the first transmitted signal at a first moment and receives the second transmitted signal at a second moment based on the power offset value indicated by the base station, and performs a filtering measurement operation based on the merged first transmitted signal and the second transmitted signal; or, when the transmission power of the different transmitted signals is configured to the terminal device via signaling, the first transmitted signal and the second transmitted signal are sent to the terminal device so that the terminal device receives the second transmitted signal at a first moment and receives the first transmitted signal at a second moment based on the power offset value indicated by the base station, and performs a filtering measurement operation based on the merged first transmitted signal and the second transmitted signal.

[0300] In an exemplary embodiment, the preset configuration method includes at least direct configuration, which can be implemented by the following steps to configure the transmission power of different transmission signals according to the preset configuration method: when the different transmission signals include transmission signals of different types of low-power wake-up receivers (LR), the transmission power is configured in one of the following ways: configuring LR LP-WUS power X and LR OOK-based LP-SS power Y for the cell network of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device; configuring LR LP-WUS power X and LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS power Y for the cell network of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device; configuring LR LP-WUS power X and LR OFDM-based LP-SS power Y for the cell network of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device; configuring LR OOK-based LP-SS power X and LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS power Y for the cell network of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device; configuring LR OOK-based LP-SS power X and LR OFDM-based LP-SS power Y for the cell network of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device; configuring LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS power for the cell network of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device. X and LR OFDM-based LP-SS power Y.

[0301] In an exemplary embodiment, the process of sending the different transmitted signals and their transmit powers to a terminal device so that the terminal device performs a filtering measurement operation based on the merged different transmitted signals further includes: determining a third transmitted signal belonging to an OOK-based LR receiver and a fourth transmitted signal belonging to an OFDM-based LR receiver from the transmitted signals of different types of low-power wake-up receivers (LR); sending the third transmitted signal, the fourth transmitted signal, the transmit power of the third transmitted signal, and the transmit power of the fourth transmitted signal to the terminal device so that the terminal device receives the third transmitted signal and the fourth transmitted signal at different times, and performs a filtering measurement operation based on the merged third transmitted signal and the fourth transmitted signal.

[0302] In an exemplary embodiment, the preset configuration method includes at least indirect configuration. Therefore, the process of configuring the transmission power of different transmission signals according to the preset configuration method may further include: configuring a power offset value between LR LP-WUS and LR OOK-based LP-SS for the cell network of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device, and a second known signal; then determining that the power of LP-WUS is the sum of the power value of the second known signal and the power offset value, or determining that the power of LR OOK-based LP-SS is the sum of the power value of the second known signal and the power offset value; wherein the transmission power of the second known signal has been synchronized to the terminal device, and the second known signal includes at least one of the following: LR LP-WUS, LR OOK-based LP-SS; configuring a power offset value between LR LP-WUS and LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS for the cell network of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device, and a second known signal; then determining that the power of LP-WUS is the sum of the power value of the second known signal and the power offset value, or determining that the power of LR OFDM-based LP-SS is the sum of the power value of the second known signal and the power offset value. The power of the PSS / SSS is the sum of the power value of the second known signal and the power offset value, wherein the transmission power of the second known signal has been synchronized to the terminal device, and the second known signal includes at least one of the following: LR LP-WUS, LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS; Configure the power offset value between LR LP-WUS and LR OFDM-based LP-SS, and the second known signal, for the cell network of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device, then determine that the power of LP-WUS is the sum of the power value of the second known signal and the power offset value, or determine that the power of LR OFDM-based LP-SS is the sum of the power value of the second known signal and the power offset value, wherein the transmission power of the second known signal has been synchronized to the terminal device, and the second known signal includes at least one of the following: LR LP-WUS, LR OFDM-based LP-SS;Configure the power offset value between LR OOK-based LP-SS and LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS for the cell network of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device, and a second known signal. Then, determine that the power of LR OOK-based LP-SS is the sum of the power value of the second known signal and the power offset value, or determine that the power of LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS is the sum of the power value of the second known signal and the power offset value. The transmit power of the second known signal has been synchronized to the terminal device, and the second known signal includes at least one of the following: LR OOK-based LP-SS, LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS. Configure the power offset value between LR OOK-based LP-SS and LR OFDM-based LP-SS for the cell network of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device, and a second known signal. Then, determine that the power of LR OOK-based LP-SS is the sum of the power value of the second known signal and the power offset value, or determine that the transmit power of LR OOK-based LP-SS is the sum of the power value of the second known signal and the power offset value. The power of the LP-SS is the sum of the power value of the second known signal and the power offset value, wherein the transmission power of the second known signal has been synchronized to the terminal device, and the second known signal includes at least one of the following: LR OOK-based LP-SS and LR OFDM-based LP-SS; For the cell network configuration of the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device, the power offset value between LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS and LR OFDM-based LP-SS, and the second known signal, are configured, then the power of LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS is determined to be the sum of the power value of the second known signal and the power offset value, or the power of LR OFDM-based LP-SS is determined to be the sum of the power value of the second known signal and the power offset value, wherein the transmission power of the second known signal has been synchronized to the terminal device, and the second known signal includes at least one of the following: LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS and LR OFDM-based LP-SS.

[0303] In one exemplary embodiment, further, when the transmit power of the different transmit signals is configured to the terminal device via signaling, transmit signals of different types of low-power wake-up receivers (LR) are sent to the terminal device, so that the terminal device receives a third transmit signal belonging to the OOK-based LR receiver at a third time and a fourth transmit signal belonging to the OFDM-based LR receiver at a fourth time, and performs a filtering measurement operation based on the merged third and fourth transmit signals; or, when the transmit power of the different transmit signals is configured to the terminal device via signaling, transmit signals of different types of low-power wake-up receivers (LR) are sent to the terminal device, so that the terminal device receives a fourth transmit signal belonging to the OFDM-based LR receiver at a third time and a third transmit signal belonging to the OOK-based LR receiver at a fourth time, and performs a filtering measurement operation based on the merged third and fourth transmit signals.

[0304] In one exemplary embodiment, the transmission power of the different transmission signals is sent to the terminal device in at least one of the following ways: predefined configuration, configuration to the terminal device via signaling, or indication to the terminal device via signaling.

[0305] In one exemplary embodiment, the signaling includes at least one of the following: RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, DCI signaling, and SIB signaling.

[0306] The following examples will further illustrate the relevant schemes for base station configuration power in the above signal measurement method.

[0307] Currently, the existing signal receiver is the Main Radio (MR). To meet the power-saving requirements of terminals, a Low-Power Wake-Up Signal Receiver (LR) is introduced, where MR and LR coexist. As shown in Figure 8, the signals received by different receivers are inconsistent.

[0308] For MR receivers, the primary function is to receive existing SSS (existing secondary synchronization signal) signals. For LR receivers, there are two architectures: OFDM-based LR receivers and OOK-based LR receivers. OFDM receivers primarily receive existing PSS / SSS and LP-SS signals, while OOK-based receivers primarily receive LP-WUS and LP-SS signals.

[0309] For the coexistence of MR and LR, there are now the following different scenarios:

[0310] The UE is in a legacy state and is in a fully MR state.

[0311] The UE is partially offloaded and in MR+LR state.

[0312] fully offload, UE is in fully LR state.

[0313] When considering the MR+LR state, both the MR receiver and the LR receiver are on, meaning the UE can receive different signals from the base station at different times. For example, at time 1, the UE receives signal 1 via MR; at time 2, the UE receives signal 2 via LR. Following this, after receiving the two different signals, the UE performs combining and L3 filtering to obtain the filtered RSRP, reflecting the current channel quality. Before combining and filtering, the UE needs to know the transmit power of each signal separately. The base station has two methods to inform the UE of the transmit power of the two signals:

[0314] Direct configuration. Configure the transmit power of each of the two signals and inform the UE accordingly.

[0315] Indirect configuration. The network indirectly derives the transmission power of the position signal based on the known transmission power of the signal (e.g., SSS) and the indicated power offset k (i.e., the power offset value), and then configures the power offset to the UE.

[0316] Whether the UE should perform merging and filtering between two different signals after receiving the configuration depends on the UE implementation.

[0317] Based on the above analysis, the following scenarios need to be considered: 1. Combining measurements of two different signals from different receivers. 2. Combining measurements of two different signals from the same receiver.

[0318] For example, the relevant schemes for base station power configuration in the above signal measurement method will be further explained with reference to the following embodiments 11 and 12. The methods for configuring transmit power information include: 1. Direct method: The network directly configures the transmit power of different receivers or different signals from the same receiver, and the UE performs merging and filtering. 2. Indirect method: The network, based on the known signal transmit power configuration, indicates power configuration information (such as power offset k) to the UE, and the UE receives two different signals and performs merging and filtering.

[0319] Example 11: The SSS and LR receivers in the MR receiver receive signals, and the base station is configured with power offset k.

[0320] As shown in Figure 9, the MR receiver only receives SSS, while the LR receiver receives four different signals. Therefore, the following situations need to be considered:

[0321] 1. Directly configure the transmission power of the two signals, specifically including:

[0322] Network configuration: MR SSS power X and LP-WUS power Y.

[0323] The network is configured with MR SSS power X and OOK-based LR LP-SS power Y.

[0324] Network configuration includes MR SSS power X and OFDM-based LR PSS / SSS power Y.

[0325] The network is configured with MR SSS power X and OFDM-based LR LP-SS power Y.

[0326] Based on the base station directly configuring the transmission power of two signals, the UE receives two different signals from different receivers at two different times T1 and T2. The UE performs L3 filtering measurement based on the two merged signals to obtain the L3 filtered RSRP.

[0327] 2. Indirectly configure the power of the two signals (base station configures power offset k), including:

[0328] If the network configuration has a known signal (such as MR SSS) power X, indicating the power offset k between the known signal and LP-WUS, then the LP-WUS power is X+k.

[0329] If the network is configured with a known signal (such as MR SSS) power X, indicating the power offset k between the known signal and the OOK-based LR LP-SS, then the OOK-based LR LP-SS power is X+k.

[0330] The network is configured with a known signal (e.g., MR SSS) power X, indicating the power offset k between the known signal and the OFDM-based LR PSS / SSS. Then the OFDM-based LR PSS / SSS power is X+k.

[0331] If the network is configured with a known signal (such as MR SSS) power X, indicating the power offset k between the known signal and the OFDM-based LR LP-SS, then the OFDM-based LR LP-SS power is X+k.

[0332] For a known signal, such as MR SSS, its transmit power configuration can be implemented using ss-PBCH-BlockPower in servingcellConfigCommonSIB of SIB1. Therefore, for base stations to indirectly configure the transmit power of two signals, the transmit power configuration of the known signal is generally known, and the network only needs to instruct the UE on the power offset k. Under different receivers, the UE receives the first known signal at time T1 and the second signal at time T2. The UE performs L3 filtering measurement based on the combined two signals to obtain the L3 filtered RSRP.

[0333] Whether the UE should perform merging and filtering between two different signals after receiving the configuration depends on the UE implementation.

[0334] The power configuration information can be transmitted through one of the following methods: predefined by the base station, configured by the base station to the UE via signaling, or indicated to the UE by the base station via signaling. The signaling includes at least one of the following: RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, DCI signaling, or SIB signaling.

[0335] If the power information is configured via RRC signaling, this indication is effective until the terminal performs merging and filtering. Once the terminal receives the transmit power information configured by the network, it can merge different signals for further filtering and measurement.

[0336] If the power information is configured via MAC CE signaling, this indication is in effect until the terminal performs merging and filtering. Once the terminal receives the transmit power information configured by the network, it can merge different signals for further filtering and measurement.

[0337] If the power information is configured via DCI, this indication remains in effect until the terminal performs merging and filtering. Once the terminal receives the transmit power information configured by the network, it can merge different signals for further filtering and measurement.

[0338] If the SIB configures the relevant power information, this indication is effective until the terminal performs merging and filtering. After the terminal receives the transmit power information configured by the network, it can merge different signals for further filtering and measurement.

[0339] Example 12: OOK-based LR receiver receives signal and OFDM-based LR receiver receives signal, base station configured with power offset k.

[0340] As shown in Figure 9, LR receivers are divided into OOK-based LR receivers and OFDM-based LR receivers. Even within the same receiver, the received signals may differ. Therefore, the following situations need to be considered:

[0341] 1. Directly configure the transmission power of the two signals, including:

[0342] The network is configured with LR LP-WUS power X and LR OOK-based LP-SS power Y.

[0343] Network configuration: LR LP-WUS power X and LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS power Y.

[0344] The network is configured with LR LP-WUS power X and LR OFDM-based LP-SS power Y.

[0345] Network configuration: LR OOK-based LP-SS power X and LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS power Y.

[0346] The network configuration includes LR OOK-based LP-SS power X and LR OFDM-based LP-SS power Y.

[0347] Network configuration: LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS power X and LR OFDM-based LP-SS power Y.

[0348] Based on the base station directly configuring the transmission power of two signals, the UE receives two different signals from the same receiver at two different times T1 and T2. The UE performs L3 filtering measurement based on the merged two signals to obtain the L3 filtered RSRP.

[0349] 2. Indirectly configure the transmission power of the two signals, including:

[0350] If the power offset k between the network configuration LR LP-WUS and LR OOK-based LP-SS is equal to the known signal LR LP-WUS / LR OOK-based LP-SS power X, then the LR OOK-based LP-SS power / LR LP-WUS is X+k.

[0351] The power offset k between the network configuration LR LP-WUS and LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS is given by the known signal power X of LR LP-WUS / LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS. Then the power of LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS / LR LP-WUS is X+k.

[0352] If the power offset k between the network configuration LR LP-WUS and LR OFDM-based LP-SS is equal to the known signal LR LP-WUS / LR OFDM-based LP-SS power X, then the LR OFDM-based LP-SS power / LR LP-WUS is X+k.

[0353] The power offset k between the LR OOK-based LP-SS and the LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS in the network configuration is given by the known signal power X of LR OOK-based LP-SS / LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS. Then the power of LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS / LR OOK-based LP-SS is X+k.

[0354] The power offset k between the LR OOK-based LP-SS and the LR OFDM-based LP-SS is configured in the network. Given the known signal power X of LR OOK-based LP-SS / LR OFDM-based LP-SS, then LR OFDM-based LP-SS / LR OOK-based LP-SS is X+k.

[0355] The power offset k between the LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS and the LR OFDM-based LP-SS is configured in the network. Given the known signal LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS / LR OFDM-based LP-SS power X, then the LR OFDM-based LP-SS power / LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS is X+k.

[0356] For a known signal, such as an LR OFDM-based PSS / SSS, its transmit power configuration can be implemented using `ss-PBCH-BlockPower` in `servingcellConfigCommonSIB` of SIB1. Therefore, for base stations to indirectly configure the transmit power of two signals, the transmit power configuration of the known signal is generally known, and the network only needs to instruct the UE on the power offset `k`. With the same receiver, the UE receives the first known signal at time T1 and the second signal at time T2 based on the power offset `k` indicated by the base station. The UE performs L3 filtering measurements based on the combined two signals to obtain the L3-filtered RSRP.

[0357] Whether the UE should perform merging and filtering between two different signals after receiving the configuration depends on the UE implementation.

[0358] The power configuration information can be transmitted through one of the following methods: predefined by the base station, configured by the base station to the UE via signaling, or indicated to the UE by the base station via signaling. The signaling includes at least one of the following: RRC signaling, MAC CE signaling, DCI signaling, or SIB signaling.

[0359] If the power information is configured via RRC signaling, this indication is effective until the terminal performs merging and filtering. Once the terminal receives the transmit power information configured by the network, it can merge different signals for further filtering and measurement.

[0360] If the power information is configured via MAC CE signaling, this indication is in effect until the terminal performs merging and filtering. Once the terminal receives the transmit power information configured by the network, it can merge different signals for further filtering and measurement.

[0361] If the power information is configured via DCI, this indication remains in effect until the terminal performs merging and filtering. Once the terminal receives the transmit power information configured by the network, it can merge different signals for further filtering and measurement.

[0362] If the SIB configures the relevant power information, this indication is effective until the terminal performs merging and filtering. After the terminal receives the transmit power information configured by the network, it can merge different signals for further filtering and measurement.

[0363] This embodiment also provides a signal measurement device for implementing the above embodiments and preferred embodiments; details already described will not be repeated. As used below, the term "module" can refer to a combination of software and / or hardware that performs a predetermined function. Although the devices described in the following embodiments are preferably implemented in software, hardware implementations, or a combination of software and hardware, are also possible and contemplated.

[0364] Figure 9 is a structural block diagram (a) of a signal measuring device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 9, the signal measuring device includes:

[0365] The determining module 92 is configured to determine the range to which the transmitted signal received by the terminal device from the base station belongs, and to measure the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device based on the receiver status corresponding to the range to obtain the measurement result. The range includes one of the following: only a first coverage area, only a second coverage area, or the overlapping area of ​​the first coverage area and the second coverage area. The first coverage area is the service area where the low-power wake-up receiver LR is located, and the second coverage area is the service area where the main communication unit MR is located. The transmission power of the transmitted signal is configured by the base station.

[0366] The switching module 94 is configured to generate a switching control command for the terminal device based on a comparison between the measurement result and the threshold value configured by the base station, and to switch the range according to the switching control command.

[0367] This embodiment introduces a low-power wake-up receiver (LR) based on existing signal receivers (MR) to meet terminal energy-saving requirements. It analyzes the impact of the UE's current state on the measurement process when the UE moves from the edge to the center of the serving cell. On the terminal side: when the UE switches between different states according to handover conditions, it determines the range of the transmitted signals received from the base station; or when the UE switches according to the MR activation parameters and threshold values ​​configured by the base station, it determines the range of the transmitted signals received from the base station based on a comparison between the MR activation parameters configured for the serving cell network corresponding to the UE and a first preset threshold value. Subsequently, the UE measures the serving cell corresponding to the UE based on the receiver state corresponding to the determined range, obtains the measurement results, generates a handover control command based on the comparison between the measurement results and the threshold values ​​configured by the base station, and switches the range according to the handover control command. On the base station side: the base station pre-indicates the MR activation parameters and threshold values ​​configured for the UE to facilitate measurement. By adopting the above technical solutions, and considering the impact of the coexistence of existing communication units and newly introduced low-power wake-up units on terminal mobility measurement, the measurement process is implemented according to the corresponding measurement conditions. This solves the technical problem of how to perform cell signal measurement when introducing a low-power wake-up receiver and new downlink signals on the basis of existing communication units, and realizes signal measurement based on MR and LR, thereby improving signal measurement efficiency.

[0368] In an exemplary embodiment, the serving cell corresponding to the terminal device includes the current serving cell.

[0374] In an exemplary embodiment, the determining module 92 is further configured to: measure the neighboring cells of the current serving cell based on the pilot signal; when the quality of the current serving cell is lower than the preset serving cell quality, perform neighboring cell measurements of the same frequency, neighboring cell measurements of different frequencies, and neighboring cell measurements of different system types respectively; when the first measurement result indicates that the quality of the current serving cell is higher than the preset serving cell quality, not perform neighboring cell measurements of the same frequency, neighboring cell measurements of different frequencies with the same priority, neighboring cell measurements of different frequencies with lower priority, and neighboring cell measurements of different system types with lower priority; when a high-priority different frequency or high-priority different system type has been configured, control the MR to open within a specified period, and measure the neighboring cells with high-priority different frequency or high-priority different system type based on the pilot signal.
