Description

Measurement record, report, configuration, acquisition method, terminal and network equipment

technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a measurement recording, reporting, configuration, and acquisition method, a terminal and a network device.

Background technique

According to the existing communication process, user equipment (User Equipment, UE, also referred to as terminal) reports the measurement results in the disconnected state only when the conditions are satisfied; and deletes the recorded measurement results only after reporting the measurement results.

This approach can lead to the following problems:

1. After the measurement results in the non-connected state are completed, the UE saves the measurement results, but the UE does not enter the connected state for a period of time, so the UE cannot report/delete the measurement results; after a period of time, the measurement results saved by the UE are out of date;

2. When the UE enters the connected state, because the network does not support or the network does not require the UE to report the measurement results, the measurement results saved by the UE are outdated;

3. When the UE subsequently enters the connected state and reports the cached measurement results that are outdated, the network may use the outdated measurement results for Carrier Aggregation (CA) configuration. If the measurement results show that the signal quality of cell A is good, but After configuring cell A as the serving cell of the UE, it is found that cell A is not actually available, which will lead to a configuration error.

It can be seen from this that the existing measurement reporting method does not reflect the accurate network state in time, and cannot guarantee the reliability of network communication.

Detailed ways

In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

When describing the embodiments of the present invention, some concepts used in the following description are first explained.

1. Traditional carrier aggregation

Carrier Aggregation (CA) means that a terminal uses spectrum resources of multiple serving cells to transmit data simultaneously, so as to improve the throughput of the terminal for data transmission and reception.

The serving cell of the terminal is configured by the network. Usually, the network selects a cell whose signal quality meets certain conditions based on the measurement and reporting result of the terminal on neighboring cells, and configures it as the serving cell of the terminal. Measurement parameters (such as frequency points to be measured, measurement quantities (Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) and/or Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ)), etc.) measured by the terminal on neighboring cells, and reporting configuration (Report trigger conditions, measurement quantities to be reported, etc.) are configured by the network. The configuration and reporting of measurements can only be done after security activation. The specific implementation process is shown in Figure 1.

2. Carrier aggregation after non-connected state measurement is applied

Based on the network indication, the terminal in the non-connected state performs measurement; and after entering the connected state, if the network side supports receiving the measurement result in the idle state (indicating the terminal through system information), it immediately reports that the measurement result is available. When the network requires the terminal to report the measurement result, the measurement result is reported.

This implementation manner reduces the time delay from when the UE enters the connected state to when the UE can start using the secondary cell for transmission. The specific implementation process is shown in FIG. 2 .

Compared with the traditional carrier aggregation scheme, after the non-connected state measurement is applied, the time for the UE to perform the measurement is reduced.

However, both of the above two implementations have the problem that the accurate network state cannot be reflected in time. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a measurement recording method, which is applied to a terminal, including:

Step 301, perform measurement in the disconnected state in the disconnected state, and record the measurement result in the disconnected state;

It should be noted that the disconnected state includes: an idle state (Idle) and/or an inactive state (Inactive); usually, after performing the disconnected state measurement, the terminal will save the measurement result in the cache.

Step 302, if the measurement result deletion condition is met, delete the measurement result;

It should be noted that the measurement result deletion condition includes at least one of the following information:

A1. The timer times out;

A2. The terminal receives a message for releasing the Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection;

It should be noted that the message for releasing the RRC connection includes: the RRC connection release message in the LTE system, or the RRC release message in the NR system, or a signaling message for other systems to complete similar functions.

A3. The measurement result is invalid.

In the following three cases, the specific implementation manners of the embodiments of the present invention are further described as follows.

1. The measurement result deletion conditions include: timer timeout

In this case, before the recording of the measurement result in the disconnected state, the embodiment of the present invention further includes:

Get the configuration information of the timer;

Wherein, the configuration information includes: timing duration.

In this case, the timer can be started in the following ways.

Manner 1: After acquiring the configuration information of the timer, start the timer; perform the measurement in the disconnected state, and save the measurement result in the cache.

It should be noted that, in this case, the terminal starts the timer after receiving the configuration information of the timer. Usually, the configuration information of the timer is sent by the terminal in the RRC connection release message sent by the network device. Get it.

Manner 2: The timer is started when the terminal starts to perform the measurement in the disconnected state.

Manner 3: The terminal starts the timer when the measurement in the disconnected state ends.

It should be noted that, in the cases of Modes 2 and 3, the terminal starts the timer when the measurement in the disconnected state is performed or when the measurement in the disconnected state ends, regardless of the acquisition time of the configuration information of the timer. In this case, the terminal can obtain the configuration information of the timer in the following ways:

Mode B1: Obtain the configuration information of the timer agreed in the protocol;

Manner B2: Obtain the configuration information of the timer from the first message sent by the network device;

It should be noted that the first message includes at least one of a message for releasing the RRC connection, a system broadcast message and an RRC connection reconfiguration message.

It should be noted that, in this case, since the terminal does not directly start the timer when acquiring the configuration information of the timer, in order to facilitate the use of the configuration information, after the terminal acquires the configuration information of the timer, The configuration information of the timer also needs to be saved.

Further, it should be noted that, in the case where the measurement result deletion conditions include: in the case that the timer times out, when the terminal receives an instruction to report the measurement result sent by the network device, when the terminal performs measurement result reporting, or when the terminal completes the measurement result reporting. After that, stop running the timer, that is, in this case, the terminal does not run the timer; or when the terminal receives an instruction to report the measurement result sent by the network device, when the terminal performs measurement result reporting, or when the terminal completes the measurement After the result is reported, the timer is set to expire, that is, in this case, the terminal sets the timer to expire, and then the terminal executes the execution process of deleting the recorded measurement result when the timer expires.

The above implementation manner will be specifically described in specific applications below.

Application Scenario 1.

Step S11, the terminal receives the timing duration of the timer configured by the network device;

The timing duration is sent to the terminal by the network device through a message of releasing the RRC connection.

Step S12, after receiving the configuration of the timing duration of the timer, the terminal starts the timer;

Step S13, the terminal performs the disconnected state measurement, and saves the measurement result in the cache;

Step S141: After the terminal completes reporting the measurement result, if the timer is still running, stop the timer and delete the measurement result in the cache, or, after the terminal completes reporting the measurement result, if the timer is still running, set the timer. When the timer expires, delete the measurement results in the cache;

Step S142: When the timer expires, if there is a measurement result in the buffer of the terminal, delete the measurement result in the disconnected state saved in the buffer.

It should be noted that, step S141 or step S142 is executed by the terminal alternatively.

Application Scenario 2.

Step S21, the terminal obtains the timing duration of the timer;

The timing duration can be obtained in the protocol agreement, or obtained from the network device. When obtained on the network device, it can be obtained from the system broadcast message, or from the message of releasing the RRC connection, and it can also be obtained from the RRC connection reconfiguration. obtained from the message.

Step S22, after receiving the timing duration of the timer, the terminal saves the timing duration;

Step S231, when the terminal starts to perform the disconnected state measurement, starts a timer;

Step S232, the terminal is performing the measurement in the disconnected state, saves the measurement result in the cache, and starts a timer when the measurement in the disconnected state ends;

It should be noted that, the terminal performs step S231 or step S232 alternatively.

Step S241: After the terminal completes reporting the measurement result, if the timer is still running, stop the timer and delete the measurement result in the cache, or, after the terminal completes reporting the measurement result, if the timer is still running, set the timer. When the timer expires, delete the measurement results in the cache;

Step S242: When the timer expires, if there is a measurement result in the buffer of the terminal, delete the measurement result in the disconnected state saved in the buffer.

It should be noted that, the terminal selects one to execute step S241 or step S242.

2. The measurement result deletion condition includes: the terminal receives a message for releasing the RRC connection

It should be noted that, in this case, after the terminal enters the connected state, when the received message for releasing the RRC connection does not carry the measurement configuration in the non-connected state, the measurement result is deleted.

Application Scenario Three,

Step S31, the terminal performs the disconnected state measurement, and saves the measurement result in the cache;

Step S32, the terminal enters the connected state, and the terminal indicates to the network device that there is an available measurement result in the non-connected state;

At this time, the network device does not require the terminal to report the measurement result.

Step S33, when the terminal receives the message of releasing the RRC connection, the terminal deletes the measurement result;

Specifically, one of the following implementations can be implemented:

Manner a1: If the RRC connection release message carries the non-connected state measurement configuration, the terminal deletes the measurement result;

Manner a2: If the message for releasing the RRC connection does not carry the measurement configuration in the non-connected state, the terminal deletes the measurement result.

3. The measurement result deletion conditions include: the measurement result is invalid

It should be noted that, in this case, if the measurement result deletion condition is met, before deleting the measurement result, it is necessary to first determine that the measurement result of the terminal is in an invalid state, which can be implemented by one of the following implementations:

Manner b1: After the terminal stops measuring, if the terminal reselects to a cell other than the cell where the measurement was stopped, it is determined that the measurement result is invalid;

Manner b2: If the cell where the terminal initiates the RRC connection establishment request is inconsistent with the cell where the terminal stops measuring, it is determined that the measurement result is invalid.

Application Scenario 4.

Step S41, the terminal performs the disconnected state measurement, and saves the measurement result in the cache;

Step S42: When the terminal stops the measurement in the non-connected state, the cell where the terminal resides is cell A, and if the terminal reselects to another cell other than cell A, the terminal deletes the saved measurement result.

Application Scenario Five,

Step S51, the terminal performs the disconnected state measurement, and saves the measurement result in the cache;

Step S52: When the terminal stops the measurement in the non-connected state, the cell where the terminal resides is cell A, and if the cell where the terminal initiates the RRC connection establishment request is not cell A, the terminal deletes the saved measurement result.

It should be noted that, the above implementation manner can prevent the terminal from reporting invalid measurement results to the network device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, by deleting the measurement result when the measurement result deletion condition is satisfied, the terminal can avoid reporting inaccurate measurement results, and the network equipment can be prevented from using the inaccurate measurement results to configure the serving cell from the source, so as to ensure reliability of network communication.
