[0133] The A-series reported events include: A1 The serving cell signal quality becomes better than the absolute threshold; A2 The serving cell signal quality becomes worse than the absolute threshold; A3 The offset of the neighboring cell is better than the PCell / PSCell (primary cell / primary secondary cell); A4 The neighboring cell signal quality becomes better than the absolute threshold; A5 The signal quality of the PCell / PSCell becomes worse than absolute threshold 1, and the signal quality of the neighboring cell / SCell (secondary cell) becomes better than another absolute threshold 2; A6 The neighboring cell offset becomes better than the SCell.

[0134] In some embodiments, entry and exit conditions are defined for each time period. For cells that do not meet the measurement reporting conditions, the UE evaluates the entry conditions for that cell. For cells that have already triggered measurement reporting, the UE evaluates the exit conditions for that cell. Measurement reporting can be triggered when the entry conditions are met, or when the exit conditions are met continuously during the TTT period.

[0135] In some embodiments, the entry condition for the above A3 event is the inequality A3-1 (entry condition): Mn + Ofn + Ocn - Hys > Mp + Ofp + Ocp + Off; the departure condition for the A3 event is the inequality A3-2: Mn + Ofn + Ocn + Hys < Mp + Ofp + Ocp + Off. Here, Mn is the measurement result of the neighboring cell without considering any offset; Ofn is the specific measurement object offset of the neighboring cell reference signal (i.e., the offsetMO defined in the measObjectNR corresponding to the neighboring cell); Ocn is the cell-specific offset of the neighboring cell (i.e., the cellIndividualOffset defined in the measObjectNR corresponding to the frequency of the neighboring cell), which is set to zero if not configured for the neighboring cell; Mp is the measurement result of the SPCell (special cell) without considering any offset; Ofp is the specific measurement object offset of the SPCell (i.e., the offsetMO defined in the measObjectNR corresponding to the SPCell); Ocp is the specific cell offset of the SPCell (i.e., the cellIndividualOffset defined in the measObjectNR corresponding to the SPCell), which is set to 0 if not configured for the SPCell; Hys is the hysteresis parameter of this event (i.e., the hysteresis defined in the reportConfigNR for this event); Off is the offset parameter of this event (i.e., the A3-offset defined in the reportConfigNR for this event); Mn and Mp are in dBm for RSRP and in dB for RSRQ and RS-SINR; the units of Ofn, Ocn, Ofp, Ocp, Hys, and Off are dB.

[0136] In some embodiments, the definition of event A3 also applies to conditional event A3.

[0137] Figure 1B is a schematic diagram illustrating the change of signal measurement results over time according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 1B, cell 1 is the serving cell. If the A3 measurement reporting event is configured, neighboring cell 2 meets the entry conditions at T1 and initiates the TTT corresponding to cell 2. Neighboring cell 3 meets the entry conditions at T2 and initiates the TTT of cell 3. At T3, cell 2's TTT times out, triggering measurement reporting. In the measurement reporting, the UE will indicate the identifier and measurement result of cell 2. However, at T3, the strongest cell is cell 3, but since cell 3's TTT has not yet timed out, cell 3 will not time out until T4. Therefore, at T3, the UE will not report the measurement result of cell 3. As a result, the network may switch the UE to cell 2 after receiving the measurement report, thus causing the UE not to switch to the optimal cell, affecting the network speed and throughput. Therefore, this embodiment proposes a cell measurement reporting method, which allows the UE to report the measurement result of the strongest cell in a timely manner, avoiding the network switching the UE to a non-optimal cell and affecting the network throughput of the communication system.

[0138] Figure 2 is an interactive schematic diagram of a communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2, the embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a communication method, which includes:

[0139] In step S2101, the access network device 102 sends network configuration information to the terminal 101.

[0140] In some embodiments, terminal 101 receives network configuration information.

[0141] In some embodiments, network configuration information is used to instruct the terminal on the network configuration for measurement reporting, and the terminal reports measurements based on the network configuration information.

[0142] For example, the network configuration information may include the measurement object, reporting configuration, and quantity configuration when the terminal reports measurements. The measurement object indicates the measurement target of the terminal during the measurement reporting process; for example, the measurement object indicates the frequency at which measurements need to be taken. The reporting configuration indicates the reporting type when the terminal reports measurements, which may include periodic reporting and event-based reporting. The quantity configuration indicates the number of measurement results included in the measurement report.

[0143] In some embodiments, the name of the network configuration information is not limited, and may be, for example, "configuration information", "measurement reporting configuration", "measurement configuration information", etc.

[0144] In step S2102, terminal 101 determines the first cell to trigger measurement reporting based on network configuration information, and the first cell is not the cell with the best channel measurement results on the deployment frequency.

[0145] For example, before step S2102, after receiving network configuration information sent by the access network device, the terminal measures the first cell, determines that the first cell triggers measurement reporting, and sends measurement reporting information to the access network device. This measurement reporting information is used to indicate the channel measurement results of the first cell. After the first cell triggers measurement reporting, the terminal continuously measures the channels of other cells on the deployment frequency according to the network configuration information, obtaining multiple channel measurement results corresponding to each cell. Before receiving the cell handover signaling sent by the access network device, the terminal compares these multiple channel measurement results with the first channel measurement result corresponding to the first cell. If any target channel measurement result among the multiple channel measurement results is better than the first channel measurement result, the terminal determines that the first cell is not the cell with the best channel measurement result on the deployment frequency.

[0146] It should be noted that in certain communication environments, the channel measurement results of a cell may change over time. This could mean that the cell that triggered measurement reporting on the deployment frequency at a historical moment is not the cell with the best signal quality on the current deployment frequency. For example, if the terminal is currently moving, the channel measurement results of a cell are related to the distance from the terminal to the cell center. If the terminal moves away from the cell center, the terminal will detect that the signal quality of that cell is gradually deteriorating; if the terminal moves towards the cell center, the terminal will detect that the signal quality of that cell is gradually improving. When the terminal leaves cell 1, if it is determined that cell 1 has triggered measurement reporting, the terminal sends the signal measurement results of cell 1 to the access network equipment. Before the terminal receives the handover signaling sent by the access network equipment, if it is determined that the channel measurement results of cell 2 are better than those of cell 1, then cell 1 is determined not to be the cell with the best channel measurement results on the deployment frequency.

[0147] In other words, after the terminal triggers measurement reporting based on the first cell, to ensure that the terminal switches to the optimal cell during cell handover, it needs to continuously measure the channels of other cells on the deployment frequency to obtain one or more channel measurement results corresponding to each of the other cells. Based on these multiple channel measurement results, it determines whether the first cell that triggered the measurement reporting is the cell with the best channel measurement results on the deployment frequency. If the first channel measurement result of the first cell is better than all the multiple channel measurement results, then the first cell is the optimal cell on the current deployment frequency; if any target channel measurement result among the multiple channel measurement results is better than the first channel measurement result, then the first cell is determined not to be the cell with the best channel measurement results on the deployment frequency.

[0148] In this process, the terminal performs cell measurements based on the same network configuration information, obtaining multiple channel measurement results for different cells. These multiple channel measurement results share the same parameter type. Therefore, when comparing one or more channel measurement results from other cells with the first channel measurement result of the first cell, the comparison can be based on the same parameter type. For example, if the parameter type of this channel measurement result is RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power / Reference Signal Received Power), and the first channel measurement result for the first cell is determined to be RSRP (-56dBm) based on the network configuration information, after the terminal triggers measurement reporting based on the first channel measurement result, it measures the RSRP of other cells and determines that the RSRP of the second cell is -89dBm. Since the RSRP of the second cell is better than that of the first cell, it is determined that the first cell is not the cell with the optimal channel measurement result on the deployment frequency.

[0149] In some embodiments, the measurement reporting event corresponding to the measurement reporting includes at least one of the following: A3 measurement reporting event, A4 measurement reporting event, A5 measurement reporting event, and A6 measurement reporting event.

[0150] For example, in this embodiment, the measurement reporting event that triggers the terminal to report measurements includes at least one of the following: A3 measurement reporting event - A6 measurement reporting event. The definitions of A3 measurement reporting event - A6 measurement reporting event are the same as in the above embodiments and can be referred to therein, so they will not be repeated here. Optionally, the measurement reporting event that triggers measurement reporting can also be a B-series event, a D1 or TI satellite system mobility management event. After the terminal triggers measurement reporting based on the measurement reporting event, it continuously searches for other cells with channel measurement results better than the first cell according to the network configuration information.

[0151] In some embodiments, the measurement reporting corresponds to the measurement object and the measurement reporting configuration, and the measurement reporting configuration is the measurement reporting configuration that triggers measurement reporting in the first cell.

[0152] The measurement object corresponding to the measurement report corresponds to the measurement report configuration. This configuration is sent by the terminal to the access network equipment after the terminal determines the first cell and triggers measurement reporting. The correspondence between the terminal's configured measurement object and the measurement report configuration ensures that the measurement report accurately reflects the radio environment of the first cell, helping the access network equipment to more accurately assess the signal quality of the serving cell. Through accurate measurement reporting, the access network equipment can make cell handover decisions more effectively, reducing unnecessary handovers caused by signal fluctuations and improving user experience.

[0153] In some embodiments, the measurement identifier of the measurement object is matched with the measurement identifier configured in the measurement reporting configuration.

[0154] By matching measurement identifiers, the correlation between the measured object and the measurement reporting configuration is indicated. Using measurement identifiers to indicate the matching relationship between the measured object and the measurement reporting configuration reduces the indication overhead of network configuration information during transmission, improves the accuracy of handover decisions, and enables access network devices to make more reasonable handover decisions based on accurate data.

[0155] In some embodiments, the channel measurement results include at least one of the following: reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), and signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR).

[0156] RSRP is a metric that measures the power strength of the reference signal received by a terminal from access network equipment. A high RSRP value generally indicates better signal coverage and connection quality, contributing to improved data transmission rates and call quality. RSRP is crucial for network planning, optimization, and troubleshooting, helping to assess UE coverage in different cells. In this embodiment, RSRP is used as the channel measurement result obtained after the terminal performs channel measurements on one or more cells, directly reflecting the signal coverage quality and signal strength at the terminal's location. This allows access network equipment to optimize network layout and adjust transmit power based on RSRP, improving user experience and increasing data transmission efficiency.

[0157] RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality) is the ratio of RSRP to Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), reflecting signal quality and interference levels. RSRQ is used in cell selection, reselection, and handover decisions and is a crucial parameter for evaluating radio link quality. A high RSRQ value indicates good signal quality and low interference levels. Terminals report RSRQ to indicate channel measurement results, providing a more comprehensive channel quality assessment than simple signal strength, and helping to more accurately reflect the terminal's signal quality within a specific cell.

[0158] SINR (Signal Interference Noise Ratio) is the ratio of desired signal strength to unwanted interference plus noise. SINR is a key indicator of signal quality, directly impacting data transmission rate and communication reliability. A good SINR contributes to higher spectral efficiency because it enables the decoding of more sophisticated modulation and coding schemes (MCS), thereby increasing data transmission rates. By reporting SINR from terminals, access network devices can identify and optimize weak signal areas in the network, helping them improve signal quality by adjusting transmit power, antenna orientation, and other measures.

[0159] In step S2103, terminal 101 determines that the second cell meets the set conditions and sends the first information to access network device 102.

[0160] For example, if the first cell is determined through the above steps not to be the cell with the optimal channel measurement results on the deployment frequency, a cell with channel measurement results better than the first cell's corresponding first channel measurement results is selected from other cells and designated as the second cell. When the second cell meets the set conditions, first information is sent to the access network device 102. This first information indicates relevant information about the second cell, which may include the second cell's cell identifier, channel measurement results, etc. Thus, before sending channel handover signaling, the access network device determines the optimal cell for the terminal to perform cell handover based on the measurement reporting information previously sent by the terminal and the first information sent at the current moment.

[0161] In some embodiments, the access network device 102 receives first information.

[0162] In some embodiments, the first information is used to indicate information about the second cell.

[0163] In some embodiments, the second cell is a cell whose channel measurement results on the deployment frequency are better than those of the first cell.

[0164] In some embodiments, the name of the first information is not limited, and it may be, for example, "second cell information", "channel measurement results of the second cell", "measurement handover information", "optimal cell information", etc.

[0165] In some embodiments, the second cell is deployed on a first frequency, which is either the frequency at which the first cell is deployed or the frequency indicated by the measurement object.

[0166] For example, in this embodiment, the first cell and the second cell are deployed on the same frequency, which is the frequency indicated by the measurement object in the network configuration information. That is, after the terminal triggers a measurement report based on the first cell, it measures the signal quality of other cells on the same deployment frequency to determine whether the first cell is the optimal cell on the deployment frequency. Using a synchronous deployment method can provide a more stable connection, making it easier for access network devices to switch between cells.

[0167] In some embodiments, the second cell includes the cell with the best channel measurement results on the deployment frequency, and / or one or more cells with channel measurement results on the deployment frequency that are better than those of the first cell.

[0168] For example, the second cell can be the cell with the best channel measurement result among other cells, or it can be one or more cells with a better channel measurement result than the first cell on the deployment frequency. If the terminal determines that the first cell is not the cell with the best channel measurement result on the deployment frequency, it reports the second cell to the access network device. The second cell is the cell with the best channel measurement result on the current deployment frequency, allowing the access network device to make a cell handover decision based on the second cell. Alternatively, the terminal reports one or more cells with a better channel measurement result on the deployment frequency than the first cell, and the access network device determines how to perform the cell handover based on the reported first information.

[0169] In some embodiments, the setting conditions include at least one of the following:

[0170] The entry conditions for measuring and reporting events;

[0171] The channel measurement result of the second cell is higher than the channel measurement result of the first cell by a first offset;

[0172] The channel measurement results for the second cell are higher than those for the first cell;

[0173] The entry conditions for measurement reporting events are continuously met within the second time frame;

[0174] Within the second time frame, the channel measurement results of the second cell are consistently higher than the channel measurement results of the first cell by a first offset.

[0175] Within the second time frame, the channel measurement results of the second cell were consistently higher than those of the first cell.

[0176] For example, measurement reporting events are an important mechanism for evaluating and optimizing network performance. Measurement reporting events correspond to entry and exit conditions. When a cell meets the entry condition for a measurement reporting event, it is determined that the cell can trigger a terminal's measurement reporting. The access network device, based on the measurement reporting information sent by the terminal, executes a cell handover decision, which can switch the terminal's current serving cell to that cell. When a cell meets the exit condition for a measurement reporting event, it is determined that the cell triggers the corresponding measurement reporting event. The access network device, based on the measurement reporting information sent by the terminal, executes a cell handover decision, which can switch the terminal's current serving cell from that cell to another cell. When a second cell meets the entry condition for a measurement reporting event, the second cell is determined to be the cell that can currently trigger a measurement reporting event, and its information is reported to the access network device. This ensures that the access network device can select the cell with the best signal quality from one or more cells that trigger measurement reporting, thus guaranteeing optimal throughput during communication.

[0177] When it is determined that the channel measurement result of the second cell is higher than that of the first cell by a first offset, the information of the second cell is sent to the access network equipment. By comparing the channel quality of the first and second cells and taking the offset into account, the access network equipment can make more accurate handover decisions, reduce unnecessary handovers and handover failure risks, and improve network stability and reliability. By comparing the offset, it is possible to ensure that the terminal smoothly switches to a cell with better signal quality during movement.

[0178] When it is determined that the channel measurement result of the second cell is higher than that of the first cell, information about the second cell is sent to the access network equipment. This allows the terminal to promptly send information about the second cell with the superior channel measurement result when it determines that a first cell exists with a better channel measurement result than the first cell. This helps the access network equipment make more accurate cell handover decisions and ensures network performance stability.

[0179] When it is determined that the second cell continuously meets the entry conditions for the measurement reporting event within a second time range, the access network equipment sends information about the second cell. In this embodiment, it is necessary to measure the time range within which the second cell continuously meets the entry conditions for the measurement reporting event. If the time range within which the second cell meets the entry conditions corresponding to the measurement reporting event is greater than or equal to the second time range, the information about the second cell is reported. This eliminates cells that only momentarily meet the entry conditions corresponding to the measurement reporting event, ensuring that the selected second cells are those that meet the entry conditions and have strong signal stability. This further ensures that the access network equipment selects cells with more stable signal strength when choosing a cell for handover.

[0180] If, within a second time range, the channel measurement result of the second cell is consistently higher than the channel measurement result of the first cell by a first offset, the terminal sends information about the second cell to the access network equipment. The second time range is a set time length. The start time of the second time range is the point in time after the terminal triggers measurement reporting and continuously measures the channel quality of other cells to determine that the channel measurement result of the second cell is superior to the channel measurement result of the first cell. The end time of the second time range is the point in time following the first time point, corresponding to the set time length. After determining that the channel measurement result of the second cell is higher than the channel measurement result of the first cell by a first offset, the terminal determines whether this first offset will remain higher within the subsequent second time range. This ensures that the second cell, with its superior channel quality, is a stable cell, guaranteeing signal quality stability within the optimal cell while ensuring handover to the optimal cell, thereby improving network performance stability.

[0181] If, within a second time range, the channel measurement result of the second cell is consistently higher than that of the first cell, the terminal sends information about the second cell to the access network equipment. The definition of the second time range is the same as in the previous embodiment and will not be repeated here. When the terminal determines that the channel measurement result of the second cell is consistently higher than that of the first cell within the second time range, it reports information about the second cell. This ensures that the reported second cell is a signal-stable cell with better channel quality than the first cell. While ensuring handover to the optimal cell, this also ensures the stability of signal quality within the optimal cell, thereby improving network performance stability.

[0182] In some embodiments, the first offset and / or the second time range are indicated by network configuration information.

[0183] In some embodiments, the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0184] The signage for the second residential area;

[0185] Channel measurement results for the second cell;

[0186] The first duration is used to indicate the duration for which the second cell meets the entry conditions corresponding to the measurement reporting event;

[0187] The second duration is used to indicate the duration for which the channel measurement results of the second cell are better than those of the first cell.

[0188] For example, the first information includes the cell identifier of the second cell. The cell identifier indicates the information of the second cell, thereby reducing signaling overhead and improving the reporting efficiency in the first information reporting process.

[0189] The first piece of information includes the channel measurement results of the second cell. These channel measurement results can help access network equipment make cell handover decisions and ensure that the terminal switches to the cell with the best signal.

[0190] The first information includes a first duration, which is the duration during which the second cell meets the entry conditions corresponding to the measurement reporting event. By reporting the first duration, the access network equipment can determine whether the second cell continuously meets the entry conditions corresponding to the measurement reporting event, ensuring that the access network equipment selects the cell with the best signal and stable signal quality when making handover decisions, thus ensuring the stability of network performance.

[0191] The first information includes a second duration, which indicates the duration for which the channel measurement results of the second cell are better than those of the first cell. By indicating the second duration, the signal stability of the cell the terminal is about to access is guaranteed, ensuring data transmission quality during cell handover and improving the user's service experience, while ensuring that the terminal can access the cell with the best current signal quality.

[0192] In some embodiments, the first duration and / or the second duration are indicated by the proportion information of the first time range, which is the time range within which a measurement reporting event can be triggered only if the cell continuously meets the requirements.

[0193] For example, the first duration and / or the second duration are indicated by network configuration information, which is indicated by a proportion of a first time range, such as the first duration being 15% of the first time range and the second duration being 13% of the first time range. By indicating the first duration and / or the second duration using the proportion of the first time range, the access network device reduces the overhead of the indication information and improves data transmission efficiency.
