As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, wherein the method is performed by a UE, and includes:

S1110: transmitting indication information to the network equipment; the indication information is used for indicating whether the UE supports BFR enhancement of the auxiliary cell or not.

The UE may be various types of UEs, and illustratively, the UE may be a mobile device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, or a vehicle-mounted device, or a terminal device such as a smart home device and/or a smart office device. The UE may be a mobile device, for example. In any case the UE may be any communication device supporting CA.

For example, the UE may support a first Frequency Range (Frequency Range 1, FR 1) and/or a terminal supporting a second Frequency Range (FR 2). In one example, the average frequency of the second frequency range is higher than the average frequency of the first frequency range; and/or the lowest frequency of the second frequency range is higher than the highest frequency of the first frequency range. In particular, the UE may support both FR1 and FR2.

The UE supports BFR enhancements for secondary cells on FR1 and/or FR 2.

The network device may be an access network device and/or a core network device. Including but not limited to various types of base stations. The base station may include, but is not limited to: an evolved base station (eNB) and/or a next generation base station (gNB).

The indication information can be used for indicating whether the UE supports BFR enhancement of the auxiliary cell in a high-speed mobile scene.

The high-speed moving scene may include at least one of:

the moving speed of the UE in unit time is higher than a preset speed;

A scene mounted on a high-speed train;

A scene mounted on a subway or a urban rail;

Scene of communication device operating on expressway.

In one example, the indication information may not be reported in a non-high speed mobile scenario to reduce signaling overhead.

Of course, the above is merely an example of a high-speed moving scene, and the specific implementation is not limited to the above example.

The BFR enhancement may comprise: enhancement of beam failure detection (Beam Failure Detection, BFD) and/or enhancement of candidate beam detection (CANDIDATE BEAM DETECTION, CBD).

Beam failure detection: and detecting the current service beam of the UE. Wherein the detected serving beam may include any one of a beam of a primary secondary cell and a beam of a secondary cell of the UE.

In some examples, measurements within the evaluation period of BFD (TEvaluate _bfd) are compared to a threshold, and if all measurements are below the threshold, a beam failure indication is triggered. One beam failure indication represents a single beam failure. In one example, the aforementioned threshold may be a block error rate threshold or the like. Before the configured Beam Failure detection timer times out, if the number of Beam Failure indications for layer 1 reaches the configuration threshold, the UE declares Beam Failure (Beam Failure), and starts CBD.

Candidate beam detection includes: the network configures a candidate beam set for the UE, the UE detects candidate beams in the candidate beam set, and the measurement result in the candidate beams is higher than a threshold as available new beams according to the comparison between the measurement result of the candidate beams in the evaluation period of the CBD and a configuration threshold. The UE informs the network of the available new beam found so that the network knows that the new beam can be used for downlink transmission. The RSRP is reference signal receiving power, and the corresponding English text is: REFERENCE SIGNAL RECEIVED Power.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, the BFR enhancement may include: shortening the evaluation period of beam failure recovery and/or candidate beam detection, etc. It will be appreciated that shortening the evaluation period and increasing the evaluation frequency may enable beam failure recovery and/or enhancement of candidate beam detection. By BFR enhancement, the signal quality of the communication beam of the auxiliary cell can be monitored more accurately, other available beams can be determined rapidly for connection recovery when beam faults occur, and the communication quality between the UE and the base station is ensured. The communication beam may be a target beam selected by the base station and the UE from the available beams through negotiation for communication between the base station and the UE.

The specific content of the indication information may be various, and illustratively, the indication information includes one or more bits, which explicitly indicates whether the UE supports secondary cell BFR enhancement.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the indication information reported by the UE to the network device such as the base station may be used to indicate whether the UE supports BFR enhancement of the secondary cell (Scell), so that a basis may be provided for the network device to configure the Scell for the UE later, and, by way of example, a reference basis may be provided for the network device to configure the BFR configuration of the secondary cell for the UE, so that the communication effect is improved by using the terminal capability of the UE as much as possible.

The network devices such as the base station here may be: a base station of a primary cell of the UE and/or a base station of a secondary cell of the UE, etc.

In some embodiments, the indication information is used to indicate whether the UE supports BFR enhancement of the secondary cell in the HST scenario.

If the UE is in the HST scenario, it is indicated that the UE is in a high-speed motion state, and may be handed over at a high speed between cells on both sides of the line of the high-speed train.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the indication information may be particularly used for BFR enhancement of the secondary cell in the HST scenario. In the HST scenario, handover is frequently performed in a plurality of cells due to the high-speed movement of the UE. Therefore, the target cell for switching the UE cell can be accurately measured through BFR enhancement, so that the UE can conveniently and quickly access into the target cell capable of ensuring the communication quality of the UE. In some embodiments, if the UE supports secondary cell BFR enhancement in a high-speed motion scenario such as HST scenario, the UE may default to support secondary cell BFR enhancement in a non-high-speed motion scenario (or high-speed motion scenario).

In some embodiments, the indication information is carried in various higher layer messages. Illustratively, the higher layer signaling includes, but is not limited to, a radio resource Control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) message or a medium access Control (MEDIA ACCESS Control, MAC) message.

In other embodiments, the indication information may also be sent to a network device such as a base station by carrying a physical layer message. The physical layer message may include at least: uplink control information (Uplink Control Information, UCI), and the like.

In some embodiments, the indication information is configured to indicate whether the UE supports a first type of secondary cell beam failure recovery BFR enhancement; and/or, for indicating whether the UE supports secondary cell beam failure recovery BFR enhancement of the second type.

In one example, the first type of secondary cell beam failure recovery BFR enhancement may be a secondary cell beam failure recovery BFR enhancement for a particular UE, also referred to as a UE-level secondary cell beam failure recovery BFR enhancement. In one particular implementation, the UE-level secondary cell beam failure recovery BFR enhancements include secondary cell beam failure recovery BFR enhancements over all available frequency bands for the particular UE. For example, the UE supports all frequency bands in FR2, and then the UE-level secondary cell beam failure recovery BFR enhancements include secondary cell beam failure recovery BFR enhancements that support the UE on all frequency bands in FR 2.

In some embodiments, the indication information indicates that the UE supports the UE-level secondary cell BFR enhancement, and indicates that the UE supports BFR enhancement in a frequency range of all settable secondary cells. For example, the indication information may be used to indicate that the UE supports the UE-level secondary cell BFR enhancement, and then indicate that the UE supports the secondary cell BFR enhancement in RF 2.

For another example, if the indication information indicates that the UE supports the secondary cell BFR enhancement at the UE level in the HST scenario, it indicates that the UE may set the BFR enhancement in the frequency range of the secondary cell in the HST scenario.

The second type of secondary cell beam failure recovery BFR enhancements may be secondary cell beam failure recovery BFR enhancements for a particular frequency band, also referred to as frequency band level secondary cell beam failure recovery BFR enhancements. In one particular implementation, the frequency band level secondary cell beam failure recovery BFR enhancement includes performing secondary cell beam failure recovery BFR enhancement for all of the particular frequency band. For example, if the specific band is band 1 in FR 2. Then, the secondary cell beam failure recovery BFR enhancement at the frequency band level includes supporting the UE to perform secondary cell beam failure recovery BFR enhancement on frequency band 1 of FR2, and does not support performing secondary cell beam failure recovery BFR enhancement on other non-frequency band 1 of FR 2.

One frequency range may include a plurality of frequency bands, for example, FR2 may include frequency bands n253 to n263. For example, the UE supports BFR enhancement of the secondary cell on band 1 of n253 to n263 corresponding to FR2, and does not support BFR enhancement of the secondary cell on band 2 of n253 to n263 corresponding to FR 2. In one example, the particular frequency band on which BFR enhancement is supported or not supported may be configured according to the capabilities of the UE and the capabilities within the UE. It can be seen that if the UE supports BFR enhancement of the secondary cell at the frequency band level, the UE does not uniformly support BFR enhancement of the secondary cell or uniformly does not support BFR enhancement of the secondary cell over the entire frequency range (e.g., FR 2), but needs to fine-tune to each frequency band within the frequency range. For example, the indication information may indicate that the UE supports the secondary cell BFR enhancement at the UE level or the frequency band level, so that an indication of whether the UE at the different level supports the secondary cell BFR enhancement may be implemented. If the indication information indicates whether the UE supports the BFR enhancement of the frequency band level of the secondary cell in the HST scene, the base station and other network equipment receive the indication information, so that whether the UE supports the BFR enhancement of the frequency band level in the HST scene can be determined, and when BFR configuration is carried out subsequently, targeted configuration can be carried out according to the indication information of the UE.

In some embodiments, the indication information is configured to indicate whether the UE supports frequency band level secondary cell beam failure recovery BFR enhancement.

Optionally, the indication information is configured to indicate that, when the UE supports BFR enhancement at a frequency band level, the indication information further includes frequency band information of BFR enhancement for beam failure recovery of the secondary cell supported by the UE.

For example, if the indication information indicates whether the UE supports secondary cell BFR enhancement, specific contents of the indication information may include:

The secondary cell BFR enhanced frequency band information supported by the UE. In one example, the band information may include a band number or the like.

In an embodiment, if the indication information includes frequency band information of at least one frequency band, the UE may support frequency band level secondary cell BFR enhancement, and the supported frequency band is a frequency band represented by the frequency band information. If the cell a is set on the frequency band indicated by the frequency band information, if the cell a is a secondary cell of the UE, the UE may perform BFR enhancement on the cell a.

In this case, it is equivalent to an indication information whether the band information is carried, and is used for implicitly indicating whether the UE supports BFR enhancement of the band-level secondary cell. And if the indication information does not carry the frequency band information or is null, the UE does not support BFR enhancement of the frequency band level auxiliary cell or does not support BFR enhancement of the auxiliary cell.

In some embodiments, the indication information is contained in a first IE or a second IE; wherein, the first IE is a UE indication information element IE; the second IE is different from the first IE.

The indication information may be carried in an IE proposed in the related art or may be carried in a dedicated IE. The IE may be an IE proposed for the indication information.

For example, the UE indication information element corresponding to the first IE may be a maximum number of BFR enhancements (maxNumberSCellBFRHSTEnhancement-r 18) IEs in the HST scenario of the 18 th release secondary cell. The second IE may be any IE different from the first IE described previously.

If the foregoing indication information indicating whether the UE supports the secondary cell BFR enhancement is carried in the first IE, it is described whether the indication information indicating whether the UE supports the secondary cell BFR enhancement is carried in the same IE together with other indication information of the UE. If the foregoing indication information indicating whether the UE supports the secondary cell BFR enhancement is carried in the second IE, it is indicated that other information of the UE and the indication information are carried in different IEs.

In the foregoing embodiment, the first IE and the second IE may be sent to a network device such as a base station through the same message or different messages.

For example, the first IE and the second IE may both be sent to a network device such as a base station through UE indication information (UE capability information), so that the network device can acquire the indication information of the UE as much as possible through one message.

As shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, wherein the method is performed by a UE, and includes:

S1210: transmitting an RRC message to the network device, the RRC message including the indication information; the indication information is used for indicating whether the UE supports BFR enhancement of the auxiliary cell or not.

And sending a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message containing the indication information to the network equipment.

In this embodiment, the indication information is transmitted to the network device such as the base station through the RRC message, and thus the information content of the indication information and the like are relatively flexible.

In some embodiments, the UE supports BFR enhancement of the secondary cell, and the indication information includes a specified field.

In other embodiments, the UE does not support BFR enhancement of the secondary cell, and the indication information does not include a designated field.

In this way, the network device that receives the indication information can determine whether the UE supports BFR enhancement of the secondary cell according to whether the indication information includes the specified field.

The specified field may include one or more bits.

In some embodiments, the indication information includes: and the auxiliary cell number information indicates the number of auxiliary cells supported by the UE for BFR enhancement.

If the UE supports the secondary cell BFR enhancement, since the number of secondary cells supported by one UE is large, the information of the number of secondary cells can further indicate how many secondary cells the UE can perform BFR enhancement at the same time, which depends on the software and hardware capabilities of the UE.

For example, the secondary cell number information may indicate, by means of enumeration, the number of secondary cells supported by the UE for BFR enhancement.

Also for example, if different bits in the plurality of bits in one field represent different numbers of secondary cells, the indication may be indicated according to the set 0 or the set 1 of the bits corresponding to the number of secondary cells in which the UE supports BFR enhancement.

In one embodiment, the BFR enhancement of the secondary cell may include:

The UE executes the evaluation period of BFD when BFR enhancement is smaller than that when BFR enhancement is not executed; and/or, the UE performs an evaluation period of the CBD at the time of BFR enhancement that is less than an evaluation period of the CBD at the time of no BFR enhancement.

In some embodiments, the beam failure recovery BFR enhancement of the secondary cell in the high HST scenario includes: the evaluation period of the secondary cell beam failure detection BFD in the HST scene is smaller than that in the non-HST scene; and/or the evaluation period of the secondary cell candidate beam detection CBD in the HST scene is smaller than that of the secondary cell CBD in the non-HST scene.

In some embodiments, the UE is a UE with a power level of a preset level.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE of the preset level may be a UE of Power Class (PC) 1-6. The UE of the preset level may be a UE of power level 6, i.e. a customer premise equipment (Customer Premise Equipment, CPE), for example. Also by way of example, the preset-level UE may also be a power-level 3 UE, i.e., a handset (handheld UE).

Since the UE of the preset level has a sufficiently large transmit power, carrier aggregation can be supported, supporting simultaneous camping on the primary cell and one or more secondary cells.

As shown in fig. 4, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, wherein the method is performed by a UE, and includes:

S1310: transmitting the indication information of the UE to network equipment; the indication information is used for indicating whether the UE supports BFR enhancement of the auxiliary cell or not;

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the UE also receives secondary cell configuration information configured for the UE according to the foregoing indication information, which is returned by the network device. The secondary cell configuration information may include at least one of:

The measurement configuration of the secondary cell may be a BFR configuration.

The configuration information of the auxiliary cell is provided according to the indication information provided by the UE, so that the configuration of the auxiliary cell by the configuration information of the auxiliary cell and the capability adaptation degree of the UE are higher, on one hand, the capability of the UE can be fully utilized, and on the other hand, invalid configuration when the UE does not support the corresponding capability can be reduced.

As shown in fig. 5, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information processing method, wherein the method is performed by a network device, and the method includes:

S2110: receiving indication information sent by UE; the indication information is used for indicating whether the UE supports BFR enhancement of the auxiliary cell or not.

The network device may include, but is not limited to, a base station, etc. The network device may be, for example, a primary cell base station of the UE and/or a base station of a secondary cell of the UE.

The indication information may indicate whether the UE supports BFR enhancement of the secondary cell, e.g., if the UE software and hardware capabilities do not support secondary cell BFR enhancement or if the functionality of the UE supporting secondary cell BFR enhancement is disabled, the indication information will indicate that the UE does not support BFR enhancement of the secondary cell. For another example, if the UE supports secondary cell BFR enhancements, the indication information will indicate that the UE supports its support for BFR enhancements.

Illustratively, the indication information may indicate whether the UE supports BFR enhancement of the secondary cell in the high-speed motion scenario. For example, in some cases, the UE may default to support BFR enhancement of the secondary cell in a non-high speed motion scenario. The related description of the high-speed moving scene can be found in the previous embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

In some embodiments, the indication information is used for indicating whether the UE supports BFR enhancement of the secondary cell in the HST scenario of the high speed train.

In some embodiments, the indication information is configured to indicate whether the UE supports beam failure recovery BFR enhancement of the secondary cell at a UE level; or the indication information is used for indicating whether the UE supports the beam failure recovery BFR enhancement of the secondary cell of the frequency band level.

The BFR enhancement of the UE supporting the secondary cell may be divided into at least two levels, one being the UE level, and if the UE supports the BFR enhancement of the UE level, the UE may support the BFR enhancement of the secondary cell set in a frequency range where the secondary cell can be set. The other is a frequency band level, where a frequency range may include multiple frequency bands, where the UE may support secondary cell BFR enhancement on some frequency bands, but not on others.

In summary, in the disclosed embodiments, the indication information may provide an indication of two different levels of secondary cell BFR enhancements.

In some embodiments, the indication information is configured to indicate whether the UE supports beam failure recovery BFR enhancement of the secondary cell at a frequency band level, and the indication information further includes frequency band information that the UE supports beam failure recovery BFR enhancement of the secondary cell.

If the secondary cell BFR of the frequency level supported by the UE is enhanced, the indication information can be carried by carrying the frequency information of the secondary cell BFR enhancement supported by the UE.
