● RLM definition and related parameters
Define: listening evaluates the channel quality of the downlink of the serving cell. RLM measurements are used to generate In-sync (IS) and Out-of-sync (Out of sync, OOS) indications.
Applicable scenarios: a PCell in SA NR mode or NR-DC mode or NE-DC mode; PSCell in NR-DC mode or EN-DC mode.
RLM-RS: a Synchronization Signal Block (Synchronization Signal and PBCH Block, SSB) or a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) may be used as a Reference Signal for RLM measurement.
Measurement time: in TSSB units (without measurement interval configuration).
For FR1: t is SSB The Measurement time is not overlapped with a Measurement Gap Repetition Period (MGRP) without scaling the Measurement time; otherwise, the measurement time is lengthened by the scaling factor: p = 1/(1-T) SSB /MGRP);
For FR2: due to T SSB May overlap with the MGRP and require extended measurement time.
·Q in /Q out Threshold: q in IS a threshold, Q, corresponding to IS out Is the threshold corresponding to OOS. Q in Threshold sum Q out The threshold has a corresponding relation with BLER, wherein Q in Threshold and BLER in Has a corresponding relationship, Q ou t threshold and BLER out There is a correspondence, in an alternative, BLER in And BLER out The configuration of (c) is shown in table 1 below:
Configuration | BLER out | BLER in |
0 | 10% | 2% |
TABLE 1
For each RLM-RS resource, the terminal equipment measures the downlink wireless link of the RLM-RS resourceThe quality of the link (i.e. the quality of the reference signal measured on the RLM-RS resource) is compared with the quality of the downlink radio link (i.e. the quality of the reference signal) and Q in Threshold sum Q ou And t, comparing the thresholds, and determining the quality of the downlink wireless link of the cell based on the comparison result.
Q out Definition of the threshold: a threshold for the downlink radio link signal not being received properly, the threshold and the BLER out There is a corresponding relationship. For SSB-based wireless link monitoring, Q out_SSB PDCCH transmission parameter derivation is based on a hypothesis. For CSI-RS based radio link monitoring, Q out_CSI-RS PDCCH transmission parameter derivation based on another hypothesis.
Q in Definition of the threshold: a threshold for apparently normal reception of downlink radio link signals, the threshold and the BLER in There is a corresponding relationship.

For CSI-RS based radio link monitoring, Q in_CSI-RS PDCCH transmission parameter derivation based on another hypothesis.
● RLM physical layer procedures
If the signal quality of RS is lower than Q out The terminal device needs to send an asynchronous indication of Layer1 (Layer 1, L1) to the higher Layer (Layer 3L 3)), and the higher Layer performs higher Layer filtering (i.e., L3 filtering) on all indications in the Evaluation period (Evaluation period).
If the signal quality of RS is higher than Q in The terminal device needs to send an L1 synchronization indication to the higher layer (i.e., L3), and the higher layer performs higher layer filtering (i.e., L3 filtering) on all indications in the Evaluation period.
It should be noted that two consecutive L1 s indicate at least an interval T Indication_interval Wherein
T Indication_interval =max(10ms,T RLM-RS,M ) (ii) a Or,
T Indication_interval =max(10ms,1.5*DRX_cycle_length,1.5*T RLM-RS,M )。
it should be noted that the L3 filtering method is generally a method of performing convolution averaging forward at a high level, and the L3 filtering method may be configured based on Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling or implemented based on a network.
The whole process of RLM from physical layer to higher layer can be seen with reference to FIG. 2, first with reference to the signal level evaluation Q in /Q out Next, cell level assessment in/out of sync, then cell level assessment RLF, and finally, whether to trigger RLF.
● RLM high layer procedures
The basic procedures of RLM and RLF in LTE and NR are:
1. the network side pre-configures a threshold aiming at IS and a threshold aiming at OOS for the terminal equipment, wherein the threshold IS given in a BLER form, such as BLER in (Q corresponding to IS) in Threshold) and BLER out (Q corresponding to OOS) out A threshold);
2. a network side is configured with a measurement resource (namely RLM-RS resource) aiming at RLM for a terminal device in advance, and the terminal device judges the current channel quality state (namely the quality of a downlink radio link) by measuring RS on the given measurement resource;
3. when the terminal equipment detects that the quality of all RSs is less than Q out When the threshold is limited, the physical layer of the terminal equipment reports an L1 out-of-step indication (L1 OOS indication) to a high layer;
4. when the terminal equipment detects that the quality of at least one RS is more than Q in When the threshold IS limited, the physical layer of the terminal equipment reports an L1 synchronization indication (L1 IS indication) to a high layer;
5. when a high layer of the terminal equipment detects that a plurality of continuous L1 OOS indications are reported, a timer IS started, whether a plurality of continuous L1 IS indications are reported IS detected during the running period of the timer, if so, the timer IS stopped, if not, an RLF event IS considered to occur, RLF IS reported, and subsequent processes, such as an RRC connection reestablishment process, are triggered.
Specifically, referring to fig. 3, if the value of the OOS counter (OOS counter) reaches a certain value (i.e., N311), the timer T310 IS started, the IS counter (IS counter) IS reset to 0, the IS counter IS incremented by 1 every time an L1 IS indication report IS detected, and it IS detected whether the value of the IS counter continuously increases to a certain value (i.e., N310) during the operation of the timer T310; if yes, the timer T310 is stopped, and if not, the RLF is reported after the timer T310 is overtime.
Tables 2 and 3 below give information about the respective timers and counters.
TABLE 2
TABLE 3
The RLM mechanism is effective in LTE and NR, but in an unlicensed band, due to the existence of the LBT mechanism, it cannot be guaranteed that RLM-RS (also referred to as RS for short) of the base station is successfully transmitted, which may cause three states to occur at the terminal device side, one is that an RS is detected and the quality of the RS is good, one is that an RS is detected and the quality of the RS is poor, and the other is that no RS is detected (the base station fails to transmit an RS due to LBT). For the third state, if existing for a long time, it actually reflects that the channel is occupied for a long time and cannot be used by the base station, and at this time, no matter whether the real channel quality is good or bad, the terminal device cannot be served by the channel of the base station.
That is, the current RLM mechanism cannot solve the confusion of poor channel quality and LBT failure well. For NR-U systems, current RLM mechanisms would be inefficient or misleading to RLF decisions for radio link monitoring, which is not fair enough for NR-U end devices.
In view of the above, it is necessary to further study the related mechanisms of RLM and RLF detection under the feature constraint of the unlicensed frequency band. Therefore, the following technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is proposed, which introduces a new mechanism (metric), and designs a related detection and judgment process based on the new mechanism, so as to improve effective differentiation between poor channel quality and LBT failure.
Fig. 4 is a schematic flowchart of a radio link monitoring method according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 4, the radio link monitoring method includes the following steps:
step 401: the method comprises the steps that the terminal equipment determines whether a physical layer of the terminal equipment reports a synchronous indication or an out-of-step indication or not based on a comparison result between the detected quality of a reference signal and at least two thresholds of a first threshold, a second threshold and a third threshold; wherein the first threshold is associated with a first BLER value, the second threshold is associated with a second BLER value, and the third threshold is associated with a third BLER value; the first BLER value is greater than the second BLER value, which is greater than the third BLER value.
In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may be, but is not limited to, an NR-U terminal device.
In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device measures the quality of the reference signal on the measurement resource of the RLM (i.e., the RLM-RS resource). Here, the Quality of the Reference Signal may be Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) of the Reference Signal or Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) of the Reference Signal or Signal to Interference Noise Ratio (SINR) of the Reference Signal. In an optional manner, the measurement resource of the RLM is configured by the network side.
In the embodiment of the present application, the first threshold may also be referred to as Q new The threshold, the second threshold may also be referred to as Q out The threshold, the third threshold can also be called Q in And (4) threshold. Here, a first threshold, a second threshold and a third threshold are associated with (or correspond to) the BLER value, wherein the first threshold is associated with a first BLER value, the second threshold is associated with a second BLER value, and the third threshold is associated with a BLER valueThe limit is associated with a third BLER value. The first BLER value may also be referred to as BLER new The second BLER value may also be referred to as BLER out The third BLER value may also be referred to as BLER in 。
In an embodiment of the present application, the first BLER value is greater than the second BLER value, and the second BLER value is greater than the third BLER value. It should be noted that the larger the BLER value is, the smaller the threshold associated with the BLER value is. Based on this, the third threshold is greater than the second threshold, which is greater than the first threshold.
In an optional manner of the present application, the first BLER value is configured or preconfigured by the network.
In an optional manner of this application, the second BLER value is network configured or preconfigured.
In an optional manner of the present application, the third BLER value is configured or preconfigured by the network.
For example: the first BLER value and the second BLER value are preconfigured, and the third BLER value is network configured.
For example: the first BLER value, the second BLER value, and the third BLER value are all preconfigured.
For example: the first, second, and third BLER values are network configured.
In one example, the relative configuration of BLER is shown in table 4 below:
Configuration | BLER in | BLER out | BLER new |
0 | 2% | 10% | 20% |
TABLE 4
It should be noted that, in an alternative mode, the BLER in And BLER out The value of (A) is consistent with the current value, and the BLER is newly added new Is a block error ratio (BLER) out Is large. In another alternative, the BLER in The value of (A) is consistent with the current value, BLER out Is smaller than the current value, the newly increased BLER new Is a ratio of BLER out Is large.
The technical scheme of the embodiment of the application introduces a new mechanism, BLER new The BLER new Associated Q new The threshold corresponds to a physical layer judgment threshold of the terminal device. By Q new The threshold is used to determine the instances where the reference signal detection is unsuccessful, so that the problem of RLF false alarm triggered by LBT failure can be handled. With the new mechanism, the terminal device can distinguish the following three radio link states: a state in which RS on the channel is detected and the channel quality is good (corresponding to an in-sync state), a state in which RS on the channel is detected and the channel quality is poor (corresponding to an out-of-sync state), and a state in which RS on the channel is not detected and the channel quality is poor (corresponding to a new state). Here, the new state is a state due to failure of the base station LBT without transmitting the RS.
It should be noted that the physical layer of the terminal device is L1 of the terminal device. The higher layer of the terminal device refers to L3 of the terminal device.
According to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the application, the terminal equipment determines whether a physical layer of the terminal equipment reports the synchronous indication or the out-of-step indication or not based on the comparison result between the quality of the detected reference signal and at least two thresholds of a first threshold, a second threshold and a third threshold. How to determine whether to report the in-sync indication or the out-of-sync indication is described below.
● Scheme 1-1

In an alternative, a new mechanism (i.e. BLER) is introduced new ) Thereafter, the BLER is still followed, irrespective of whether the terminal equipment supports the mechanism or not in And BLER out To perform physical layer procedures.
In another alternative, a new mechanism (i.e. BLER) is introduced new ) Thereafter, a new UE capability (UE capability) is also introduced, which is used to indicate that the terminal device supports the new mechanism. For terminal devices that do not support this mechanism and/or this capability, the BLER is still in accordance in And BLER out To perform physical layer procedures.
In the above scheme, the terminal equipment is according to BLER in And BLER out To perform physical layer procedures, including: if the quality of the reference signal detected by the terminal equipment is less than or equal to Q out If so, the physical layer of the terminal device reports the out-of-step indication (namely L1 OOS indication); if the quality of the reference signal detected by the terminal equipment is more than or equal to Q in And if so, the physical layer of the terminal device reports the synchronization indication (i.e. L1 OOS indication).
