Description

通信方法和通信装置
本申请要求于2022年08月08日提交中国专利局、申请号为202210945163.1、申请名称为“通信方法和通信装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法和通信装置。
背景技术
网络设备可以向终端设备提供时延测量相关的测量配置信息,以便终端设备可以根据该测量配置信息执行时延测量流程,例如进行时延测量,以及上报时延测量的测量结果,其中,该测量配置信息可以包括测量对象等信息。
然而,如果网络设备在终端设备进行时延测量的过程中,发起了测量对象的修改/移除流程,可能会对终端设备的时延测量流程产生影响,例如,可能影响终端设备上报时延测量的测量结果。其中,这里的时延测量可以指的是分组数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)上行数据包平均时延测量,或者PDCP数据包额外时延测量。
因此,如何减小测量对象的修改/移除流程对终端设备的时延测量流程产生的影响,以提高终端设备的业务性能,是当前需要考虑的问题。
发明内容
本申请提供了一种通信方法和通信装置,用以减小测量对象的修改/移除流程对终端设备的时延测量流程的影响。
第一方面,提供了一种通信方法,该方法可以由终端设备执行,或者,也可以由配置于终端设备中的芯片或电路执行,本申请对此不作限定。为了方便,以下以终端设备执行为例进行说明。
该方法包括:终端设备接收第一测量配置信息,该第一测量配置信息用于指示修改第一测量对象,该第一测量对象与第一测量标识相关联。在该第一测量标识与时延测量没有关联的情况下,该终端设备执行第一操作;或者,在该第一测量标识与该时延测量相关联的情况下,该终端设备执行第二操作。
其中,该第一操作包括以下操作中的一项或多项:该终端设备移除该第一测量标识对应的上报记录,或该终端设备停止该第一测量标识对应的定时器,或该终端设备重置与该第一测量标识关联的信息;该第二操作包括以下操作中的一项或多项:该终端设备保留该第一测量标识对应的上报记录,或该终端设备保持该定时器的计时,或该终端设备保留与该第一测量标识关联的信息;其中,该时延测量包括分组数据汇聚协议数据包平均时延测量和/或分组数据汇聚协议额外数据包时延测量。
在上述方案中,在第一测量对象的修改流程,终端设备可以根据第一测量标识是否与时延测量相关联,决定要执行的操作。具体来说,在第一测量标识与时延测量没有关联的情况下,终端设备才执行第一操作,即重置(或者删除)第一测量标识相关联的用于测量(或者用于上报测量结果的)的信息(即上述第一测量标识对应的上报记录、定时器、与第一测量标识关联的信息),从而减小第一测量对象的修改流程对时延测量的影响。换句话说,在另一种情况下,即在第一测量标识与时延测量相关联的情况下,终端设备执行第二操作,即不重置(或者不删除)第一测量标识相关联的用于测量(或者用于上报测量结果的)的信息(即第一测量标识对应的上报记录、定时器、与第一测量标识关联的信息),因此终端设备可以根据这些信息继续上报时延测量的测量结果,从而可以提高时延测量的效率,节省资源,提高终端设备的业务性能。
在一种可能的方式中,该方法还包括:在该第一测量标识与该时延测量相关联的情况下,该方法还包括:该终端设备根据该第一测量标识对应的上报记录、或该第一测量标识对应的定时器、或该第一测量标识关联的信息中的一项或多项,向该网络设备上报该第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结 果。
在上述方案中,在第一测量标识与时延测量相关联的情况下,终端设备不重置(或者不删除)第一测量标识相关联的用于时延测量(或者用于上报测量结果的)的信息(即第一测量标识对应的上报记录、定时器、与第一测量标识关联的信息),因此终端设备可以根据这些信息上报第一测量标识相关联的时延测量的测量结果,而不需要重新生成上述信息,从而可以提高时延测量的效率,节省资源,提高终端设备的业务性能。
在一种可能的方式中,该第一测量标识与时延测量没有关联,该第一测量标识所关联的上报配置不包括该分组数据汇聚协议数据包平均时延测量的配置信息和/或该分组数据汇聚协议额外数据包时延测量的配置信息。
在一种可能的方式中,该第一测量标识与时延测量相关联,该第一测量标识所关联的上报配置包括该分组数据汇聚协议数据包平均时延测量的配置信息和/或该分组数据汇聚协议额外数据包时延测量的配置信息。
因此,基于上述方案,终端设备可以根据第一测量标识所关联的上报配置是否包括分组数据汇聚协议数据包平均时延测量的配置信息和/或该分组数据汇聚协议额外数据包时延测量的配置信息,来确定第一测量标识是否与时延测量相关联,从而可以根据第一测量标识是否与时延测量相关联,决定要执行的操作,从而减小第一测量对象的修改流程对时延测量的影响。
在一种可能的方式中,该第一测量对象为第二测量对象中的一个,该方法还包括:该终端设备发送第一能力信息,该第一能力信息用于指示在该时延测量相关联的第二测量对象的修改流程中,该终端设备支持以下一项或多项:支持保留第二测量标识对应的上报记录、或支持保持该第二测量标识对应的定时器的计时、或支持保留与该第二测量标识关联的信息,其中该第二测量标识与该第二测量对象相关联,且该第二测量标识与该时延测量相关联。
基于上述方案,终端设备可以向网络设备上报第一能力信息,由于第一测量对象为第二测量对象中的一个,因此网络设备可以根据该第一能力信息确定终端设备支持在该第一测量标识与该时延测量相关联的情况下,该终端设备执行第二操作,因此网络设备可以根据该第一能力信息,确定可以发起第一测量对象的修改流程。由于终端设备支持在该第一测量标识与该时延测量相关联的情况下,该终端设备执行第二操作,因此在这种情况下,即使网络设备在时延测量结束之前,发起了第一测量对象的修改流程,终端设备也可以继续使用第一测量标识相关联的信息(例如第一测量标识对应的上报记录、定时器、与第一测量标识关联的信息)上报时延测量的测量结果,从而减小第一测量对象的修改流程对时延测量的影响。
第二方面,提供了一种通信方法,该方法可以由终端设备执行,或者,也可以由配置于终端设备中的芯片或电路执行,本申请对此不作限定。为了方便,以下以终端设备执行为例进行说明。
该方法包括:终端设备获取第一小区的第一测量结果和第二小区的第二测量结果,该第二小区为该终端设备的服务小区,该第二小区和该第一小区为不同的小区,该第一小区关联第一测量对象,该第二小区关联第二测量对象。该终端设备评估该第一测量结果和该第二测量结果是否满足上报准则。
通过上述方案,可以避免评估同一个小区的测量结果以及向网络设备上报相同的小区的测量结果导致的资源浪费,并且可以避免可能出现不合理切换的情况,例如,终端设备发起小区切换流程从当前服务小区再次切换到该小区上。
在一种可能的方式中,该方法还包括:在该第一小区的测量结果和该第二小区的测量结果满足该上报准则的情况下,该终端设备上报测量报告,该测量报告包括该第一测量结果和该第二测量结果。
在一种可能的方式中,该上报准则与该第一测量对象相关联。
在一种可能的方式中,该第一测量结果包括该第一小区的信号质量,该第二测量结果包括该第二小区的信号质量,该上报准则包括以下一项或多项:该第一小区的信号质量与第二小区的信号质量的差值高于第一阈值;或该第一小区的信号质量高于第二阈值,且该第二小区的信号质量低于第三阈值。
也就是说,上述上报准则可以对应A3事件和/或A5事件。
第三方面,提供了一种通信方法,该方法可以由终端设备执行,或者,也可以由配置于终端设备中的芯片或电路执行,本申请对此不作限定。为了方便,以下以终端设备执行为例进行说明。
该方法包括:终端设备接收第二测量配置信息,该第二测量配置信息用于指示移除第一测量对象, 该第一测量对象与第一测量标识相关联。该终端设备移除该第一测量对象。在该第一测量标识与时延测量没有关联的情况下,该终端设备移除该第一测量标识;或者,在该第一测量标识与该时延测量相关联的情况下,该终端设备保留该第一测量标识。其中,该时延测量包括分组数据汇聚协议数据包平均时延测量和/或分组数据汇聚协议额外数据包时延测量。
基于上述方案,在第一测量对象的移除流程,终端设备可以根据第一测量标识是否与时延测量相关联,决定要执行的操作。具体来说,在该第一测量标识与时延测量没有关联的情况下,该终端设备才移除该第一测量标识,或者是在该第一测量标识与该时延测量相关联的情况下,该终端设备保留该第一测量标识。
如果终端设备在第一测量对象的移除流程,移除了第一测量标识,而第一测量标识与时延测量相关联,那么终端设备将无法上报该第一测量标识对应时延测量的测量结果,从而可能对终端设备的业务产生影响。而通过上述方案,终端设备在第一测量标识与时延测量相关联的情况下,不移除第一测量标识,因此终端设备便可以使用该第一测量标识来上报时延测量的测量结果,从而避免测量对象的移除流程导致第一测量标识被删除,从而使得时延测量结果无法上报的情况。
在一种可能的方式中,在该第一测量标识与该时延测量相关联的情况下,该方法还包括:该终端设备上报该第一测量标识关联的该时延测量的测量结果。
通过上述方案中,终端设备可以在第一测量对象的移除流程保留与时延测量相关联的第一测量标识,从而使得在第一测量对象的移除流程,终端设备仍然可以通过第一测量标识上报时延测量的测量结果,避免因为第一测量对象的移除流程,导致时延测量的测量结果上报失败的情况,从而可以提高终端设备的业务性能。
在一种可能的方式中,在该第一测量标识与该时延测量相关联的情况下,在该终端设备上报该第一测量标识关联的该时延测量的测量结果之后,该方法还包括:该终端设备移除该第一测量标识。
基于上述方案,在终端设备上报了时延测量的测量结果之后,可以删除第一测量标识,以减少第一测量标识带来的资源占用。
在一种可能的方式中,该方法还包括:该终端设备接收第三测量配置信息,该第三测量配置信息用于指示移除该第一测量标识。
在一种可能的方式中,该第一测量标识与时延测量没有关联,该第一测量标识关联的上报配置不包括该分组数据汇聚协议数据包平均时延测量的配置信息和/或该分组数据汇聚协议额外数据包时延测量的配置信息。
在一种可能的方式中,该第一测量标识与时延测量相关联,该第一测量标识关联的上报配置包括该分组数据汇聚协议数据包平均时延测量的配置信息和/或该分组数据汇聚协议额外数据包时延测量的配置信息。
在一种可能的方式中,该第一测量对象为第二测量对象中的一个,该方法还包括:该终端设备发送第二能力信息,该第二能力信息用于指示在该时延测量相关联的第二测量对象的移除流程中,该终端设备支持保留与该第二测量对象关联的第二测量标识,该第二测量标识与该时延测量相关联。
基于上述方案,终端设备可以向网络设备上报第二能力信息,由于第一测量对象为第二测量对象中的一个,因此网络设备可以根据该第二能力信息确定终端设备支持在该第一测量标识与该时延测量相关联的情况下,保留第一测量标识,因此网络设备可以根据该第二能力信息,确定可以发起第一测量对象的移除流程。由于终端设备支持在该第一测量标识与该时延测量相关联的情况下,保留第一测量标识,因此在这种情况下,即使网络设备在时延测量结束之前,发起了第一测量对象的移除流程,终端设备仍然可以使用第一测量标识上报时延测量的测量结果,从而减小第一测量对象的移除流程对时延测量的影响。换句话说,如果网络设备确定终端设备不支持在第一测量对象的移除流程保留与时延测量相关联的第一测量标识,则网络设备可以不发起(例如在时延测量完成之前不发起)第一测量对象的移除流程,从而可以避免第一测量对象的移除流程导致时延测量流程失败的情况。
第四方面,提供了一种通信方法,该方法可以由终端设备执行,或者,也可以由配置于终端设备中的芯片或电路执行,本申请对此不作限定。为了方便,以下以终端设备执行为例进行说明。
该方法包括:终端设备接收第二测量配置信息,该第二测量配置信息用于指示移除第一测量对象。该终端设备移除该第一测量对象以及与该第一测量对象关联的第一测量标识,该第一测量标识与时延 测量相关联。该终端设备使用第一标识上报该第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果,该第一标识与该第一测量标识不同,该时延测量包括分组数据汇聚协议数据包平均时延测量和/或分组数据汇聚协议额外数据包时延测量。
基于上述方案,在第一测量对象的移除流程,在与时延测量相关联的第一测量标识被移除的情况下,终端设备使用与第一测量标识不同的第一标识上报第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果。也就是说,即使第一测量标识被移除,终端设备仍然可以上报时延测量的测量结果,避免第一测量对象的移除流程对终端设备的时延测量流程产生影响,从而提高终端设备的业务性能。
在一种可能的方式中,该第一测量标识与时延测量相关联,该第一测量标识关联的上报配置包括该分组数据汇聚协议数据包平均时延测量的配置信息和/或该分组数据汇聚协议额外数据包时延测量的配置信息。
在一种可能的方式中,该第一测量标识与时延测量没有关联,该第一测量标识关联的上报配置不包括该分组数据汇聚协议数据包平均时延测量的配置信息和/或该分组数据汇聚协议额外数据包时延测量的配置信息。
在一种可能的方式中,该终端设备使用第一标识上报该第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果,包括:该终端设备根据该第一测量标识对应的上报配置上报该测量结果;或者,该终端设备根据预配置的上报配置上报该测量结果。
在一种可能的方式中,该第一测量对象为第二测量对象中的一个,该方法还包括:该终端设备发送第三能力信息,该第三能力信息用于指示在该时延测量相关联的第二测量对象的删除流程中,该终端设备支持使用该第一标识上报该时延测量的测量结果。
基于上述方案,终端设备可以向网络设备上报第三能力信息,由于第一测量对象为第二测量对象中的一个,因此网络设备可以根据该第三能力信息确定终端设备支持在该第一测量标识与该时延测量相关联的情况下,在第一测量对象的移除流程使用第一标识上报第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果,因此在这种情况下,即使网络设备在时延测量结束之前,发起了第一测量对象的移除流程,并且该移除流程会导致终端设备将与时延测量相关联的第一测量标识移除,终端设备也可以使用第一标识上报时延测量的测量结果,也就是说,网络设备向终端设备发起第一测量对象的移除流程,不会对终端设备的时延测量产生太大的影响,所以网络设备可以根据该第二能力信息,确定可以发起第一测量对象的移除流程。换句话说,如果网络设备确定终端设备不支持在第一测量标识与该时延测量相关联的情况下,在第一测量对象的移除流程使用第一标识上报第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果,则网络设备可以在时延测量完成之前,不发起第一测量对象的移除流程,从而可以避免第一测量对象的移除流程导致时延测量流程失败的情况。

在一种可能的方式中,该第一测量对象为第二测量对象中的一个,该方法还包括:该网络设备接收第二能力信息,该第二能力信息用于指示在该时延测量相关联的第二测量对象的移除流程中,该终端设备支持保留与该第二测量对象关联的第二测量标识,该第二测量标识与该时延测量相关联。
基于上述方案,网络设备接收来自终端设备的第二能力信息,由于第一测量对象为第二测量对象中的一个,因此网络设备可以根据该第二能力信息确定终端设备支持在该第一测量标识与该时延测量相关联的情况下,在第一测量对象的移除流程,保留第一测量标识,因此网络设备可以根据该第二能力信息,确定可以发起第一测量对象的移除流程。由于终端设备支持在该第一测量标识与该时延测量相关联的情况下,保留第一测量标识,因此在这种情况下,即使网络设备在时延测量结束之前,发起了第一测量对象的移除流程,终端设备仍然可以使用第一测量标识上报时延测量的测量结果,从而减小第一测量对象的移除流程对时延测量的影响。换句话说,如果网络设备确定终端设备不支持在第一测量对象的移除流程保留与时延测量相关联的第一测量标识,则网络设备可以不发起(例如在时延测量完成之前不发起)第一测量对象的移除流程,从而可以避免第一测量对象的移除流程导致时延测量流程失败的情况。
第八方面,提供了一种通信方法,该方法可以由网络设备执行,或者,也可以由配置于网络设备中的芯片或电路执行,本申请对此不作限定。为了方便,以下以终端设备执行为例进行说明。
该方法包括:网络设备发送第二测量配置信息,该第二测量配置信息用于指示移除第一测量对象;该网络设备接收终端设备使用第一标识上报该第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果,该第一标识与该第一测量标识不同,该时延测量包括分组数据汇聚协议数据包平均时延测量和/或分组数据汇聚协议额外数据包时延测量。
基于上述方案,在第一测量对象的移除流程,网络设备能够接收终端设备使用第一标识上报的第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果,也就是说,即使第一测量标识在第一测量对象的移除流程被移除,终端设备仍然可以通过与第一测量标识不同的第一标识上报时延测量的测量结果,避免第一测量对象的移除流程对终端设备的时延测量流程产生影响,从而提高终端设备的业务性能。
在一种可能的方式中,该第一测量标识与时延测量相关联,该第一测量标识关联的上报配置包括 该分组数据汇聚协议数据包平均时延测量的配置信息和/或该分组数据汇聚协议额外数据包时延测量的配置信息。

在一种可能的方式中,该第一测量对象为第二测量对象中的一个,该方法还包括:该网络设备接收第三能力信息,该第三能力信息用于指示在该时延测量相关联的第二测量对象的删除流程中,该终端设备支持使用该第一标识上报该时延测量的测量结果。
基于上述方案,网络设备可以接收来自终端设备的第三能力信息,由于第一测量对象为第二测量对象中的一个,因此网络设备可以根据该第三能力信息确定终端设备支持在该第一测量标识与该时延测量相关联的情况下,在第一测量对象的移除流程使用第一标识上报第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果,因此在这种情况下,即使网络设备在时延测量结束之前,发起了第一测量对象的移除流程,并且该移除流程会导致终端设备将与时延测量相关联的第一测量标识移除,终端设备也可以使用第一标识上报时延测量的测量结果,也就是说,网络设备向终端设备发起第一测量对象的移除流程,不会对终端设备的时延测量产生太大的影响,所以网络设备可以根据该第二能力信息,确定可以发起第一测量对象的移除流程。换句话说,如果网络设备确定终端设备不支持在第一测量标识与该时延测量相关联的情况下,在第一测量对象的移除流程使用第一标识上报第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果,则网络设备可以不发起(例如在时延测量完成之前不发起)第一测量对象的移除流程,从而可以避免第一测量对象的移除流程导致时延测量流程失败的情况。

其中,该第一测量标识与该第一测量对象相关联,且该第一测量标识与该时延测量相关联,该时延测量包括分组数据汇聚协议数据包平均时延测量和/或分组数据汇聚协议额外数据包时延测量。
基于上述方案,在网络设备确定终端设备不支持在第一测量对象的修改流程,针对第一测量对象执行第二操作的情况下,网络设备在确定时延测量完成之前,不触发第一测量对象的修改流程,从而避免第一测量对象的修改流程导致终端设备移除了第一测量标识对应的上报记录,或者停止了第一测量标识对应的定时器,或者移除了第一测量标识关联的信息,从而浪费了终端设备的资源,降低了时延测量的效率。
在一种可能的方式中,该第一测量对象为第二测量对象中的一个,该方法还包括:该网络设备接收第一能力信息,该第一能力信息用于指示在该时延测量相关联的第二测量对象的修改流程中,该终端设备不支持以下一项或多项:不支持保留第二测量标识对应的上报记录、或不支持保持该第二测量标识对应的定时器的计时、或不支持保留与该第二测量标识关联的信息,其中该第二测量标识与该第二测量对象相关联,且该第二测量标识与该时延测量相关联。

为了便于理解本申请实施例的技术方案,在以5G架构为基础介绍本申请实施例的方案之前,首先对本申请实施例可能涉及到的一些术语或概念。
1、测量对象(MeasObject)
测量对象是UE执行测量的对象。例如,NR测量对象配置可以包括同步信号和物理广播信道块 (synchronization signal and physical boardcast channel block,SSB)配置、同步信号块测量时间配置(SSB Measurement Time Configuration,SMTC)配置、信道状态信息参考信号(Channel State Information Reference Signal,CSI-RS)配置、白名单小区(也可称允许列表小区)和黑名单小区(也可称排除列表小区)等;LTE测量对象配置可以包括E-UTRA载波频率、最大允许测量带宽、白名单小区(也可称允许列表小区)和黑名单小区(也可称排除列表小区)等。
2、上报配置(Reporting Configurations)
上报配置包括触发上报测量报告的准则配置和测量报告的格式配置等。每个上报配置拥有单独的上报配置标识(reportConfigId),按照类型可分为事件触发型、周期型等。
事件触发型上报配置可以包括事件类别及门限值、满足触发条件的触发时间(timeToTrigger)、需要上报的测量量以及参考信号类型等。测量事件包括A1~A6事件,B1~B2事件等。
周期型上报配置可以包括上报间隔(reportInterval)、参考信号类型、需要上报的测量量以及参考信号类型等。周期型上报配置中还可以包括PDCP包时延测量配置(ul-DelayValueConfig-r16)和/或PDCP Excess时延测量配置(ul-ExcessDelayConfig-r17)。
3、上行PDCP数据包平均时延测量(UL PDCP Packet Average Delay per DRB per UE)
上行PDCP数据包平均时延测量用于衡量UE处DRB上的PDCP排队时延。测量从数据包到达PDCP上层开始到用于发送该数据包的上行授权(grant)可用时的时延。该测量的目的是进行QoS验证或QoS监视等。该测量中不使用测量对象中的参考信号。
4、上行PDCP额外数据包时延测量(UL PDCP Excess Packet Delay per DRB)
上行PDCP额外数据包时延测量用于衡量UE处DRB上的PDCP数据包的时延超过配置的时延阈值的比率。每个数据包的时延为从数据包到达PDCP上层开始到用于发送该数据包的上行授权(grant)可用时的时延。该测量的目的是进行QoS验证或QoS监视等。该测量中不使用测量对象中的参考信号。
5、A3事件(Event A3)
A3事件是事件触发型上报类型的一种事件,该事件评估邻区信号质量是否比服务区信号质量高出一定偏移量。进入条件为:Mn+Ofn+Ocn–Hys>Mp+Ofp+Ocp+Off。退出条件为:Mn+Ofn+Ocn+Hys<Mp+Ofp+Ocp+Off。条件公式中相关变量的具体含义为:
Mp、Mn分别表示服务区、邻区的测量结果。
Hys表示测量结果的幅度迟滞。
Ofp、Ofn分别表示服务区、邻区的频率偏移量。
Ocp、Ocn分别表示服务区、邻区的小区偏移量。
Off表示A3事件的偏移量。
其中,服务区可以是指特殊小区(Special Cell,SpCell)。SpCell具体可以为主小区(Primary Cell,PCell)和/或主辅小区(Primary Secondary Cell,PSCell)。
进入条件在触发时间(TimeToTrigger)内持续满足时,UE可触发测量上报。
6、A5事件(Event A5)
A5事件是事件触发型上报类型的一种事件,该事件评估服务小区信号质量是否低于门限1并且邻区信号质量是否高于门限2。进入条件为:Mp+Hys<Thresh1且Mn+Ofn+Ocn–Hys>Thresh2。退出条件为:Mp-Hys>Thresh1或Mn+Ofn+Ocn+Hys<Thresh2。
Mp、Mn分别表示服务区、邻区的测量结果。
Hys表示测量结果的幅度迟滞。
Thresh1、Thresh2表示门限值。
Ofn分别表示邻区的频率偏移量。
Ocn分别表示邻区的小区偏移量。
其中,服务区可以是SpCell。SpCell具体可以为PCell和/或PSCell。
进入条件在触发时间(TimeToTrigger)内持续满足时,UE可触发测量上报。
7、测量标识(MeasId)
一个测量标识(测量ID)将一个测量对象配置与一个上报配置进行关联。UE根据测量ID对其所关联的测量对象,按照上报配置的要求进行测量。当UE向基站发送测量报告时,UE指示上报的测量 结果所对应的测量ID,基站就可以根据该测量ID确定对应的测量对象和上报配置。
8、测量报告上报方式
根据上报配置,针对某一测量,UE可能一次或多次地发送测量报告。具体地,上报配置中可包括上报次数(reportAmount)参数、上报间隔(reportInterval)参数等。其中,上报次数用于指示UE在触发某测量的上报后需要发送的该测量的测量报告的次数。上报间隔用于指示UE发送测量报告的时间间隔。例如,某一测量的上报次数为一次(即reportAmount=1),则UE触发该测量的上报后,仅发送一次测量报告。又例如,某一测量的上报次数为N次(即reportAmount=N,N大于1),则UE触发该测量的上报后,发送N次测量报告,其中两次测量报告之间的时间间隔为reportInterval。
9、测量报告(MeasResults)
测量报告中可以包括测量标识(MeasId)、服务小区测量结果(measResultServingMOList)、邻区测量结果(measResultNeighCells)等。特别地,如果该测量标识关联的测量为PDCP时延测量,那么可以包括PDCP时延测量结果(ul-PDCP-DelayValueResultList-r16)和/或PDCP Excess时延测量结果(ul-PDCP-ExcessDelayResultList-r17)。
10、带宽部分(bandwidth part,BWP)
5G NR***的带宽最大能到400MHz,但由于5G业务多样性,从UE的角度来看,可能具体到某个UE的某些业务并不需要较大的传输带宽,与此同时支持较大的传输带宽也意味较高的终端成本,因此3GPP协议针对5G NR,提出了BWP(BandWidth Part)概念。
BWP是指网络侧配置给UE的一段连续的频谱资源,UE在BWP上进行数据传输。BWP是可以小于网络侧的最大传输带宽的,因此实现了网络侧和UE侧的灵活传输带宽配置。
11、降低能力终端(reduced capability UE,RedCap UE)
RedCap UE是对5G NR进行的进一步增强的技术。这种终端的能力相较于增强移动宽带(enhanced mobile broad band,eMBB)和超可靠低时延通信(ultra-reliable and low latency communication,URLLC)是更低端的。例如,RedCap UE可能进行以下特性复杂度的降低:降低最大带宽能力、降低收发天线数目/天线通道(branch)数目、降低最大多进多出(multiple input multiple output,MIMO)层数能力、降低最大调制阶数(modulation order)能力等。
以下结合图2至图5详细介绍本申请实施例提供的方案。
网络设备可以向终端设备提供时延测量相关的测量配置信息,以便终端设备可以根据该测量配置信息执行时延测量流程,例如进行时延测量,以及上报时延测量的测量结果。然而,如果网络设备在终端设备进行时延测量的过程中,发起了测量对象的修改流程,可能会对时延测量流程产生影响,例如,可能会影响终端设备上报时延测量的测量结果,导致时延测量流程的效率受到影响,甚至会出现时延测量流程失败的情况。因此,如何减小测量对象的修改流程对终端设备的时延测量流程产生的影响,提供终端设备的业务性能,是当前需要考虑的问题。
基于上述问题,图2示出了本申请实施例提供的方法200的示例性流程图。方法200可以在第一测量对象的修改流程提高时延测量的效率,节省终端设备的资源。下面结合图2中的各个步骤对方法200作示例性说明。
可选地,S201,终端设备向网络设备发送第一能力信息。对应地,网络设备接收来自该终端设备的该第一能力信息。
可以理解的是,本申请对终端设备向网络设备发送第一能力信息的方式和时机不作限定。例如,终端设备可以在能力查询流程复用现有消息向网络设备发送该第一能力信息,或者也可以在其他流程向网络设备发送该第一能力信息,本申请不作限定。
作为一种可能的示例1,该第一能力信息用于指示在时延测量相关联的第二测量对象的修改流程中,该终端设备支持以下一项或多项:
支持保留第二测量标识对应的上报记录、或支持保持该第二测量标识对应的定时器的计时、或支持保留与该第二测量标识关联的信息,其中该第二测量标识与该第二测量对象相关联,且该第二测量标识与该时延测量相关联。
其中,该时延测量包括分组数据汇聚协议数据包平均时延测量和/或分组数据汇聚协议额外数据包时延测量。
该第二测量对象可以指的是任意与时延测量相关联的测量对象。与时延测量相关联的测量对象,可以是指该测量对象所关联的一个或多个测量标识中,至少存在一个测量标识与时延测量相关联。也就是说,该第一能力信息用于指示在与时延测量相关联的测量对象的修改流程中,终端设备支持上述第一能力信息所指示的一项或多项操作。
该第二测量标识可以指的是与第二测量对象关联的一个或多个测量标识中,与时延测量相关联的测量标识。与时延测量相关联的测量标识,可以是指该测量标识对应的上报配置包括时延测量的配置信息,或者说该测量标识用于上报时延测量的测量结果。
S202,网络设备向终端设备发送第一测量配置信息。对应地,终端设备接收来自该网络设备的该第一测量配置信息。
示例性地,该第一测量配置信息用于指示修改第一测量对象,该第一测量对象与第一测量标识相关联。
可以理解的是,该第一测量对象可以是网络设备配置给终端设备的。例如,在S202之前,网络设备向终端设备发送第三测量配置信息,该第三测量配置信息包括第一测量对象配置,以及与第一测量对象关联的一个或多个测量标识,其中该一个或多个测量标识中包括第一测量标识。该第三测量配置信息还包括与该第一测量标识对应的上报配置等信息。
可选地,在第一测量标识与时延测量相关联的情况下,网络设备可以在确定终端设备支持在第一测量对象的修改流程执行第二操作的情况下,触发该第一测量对象的修改流程(即发送该第一测量配置信息)。其中,该第二操作包括以下操作中的一项或多项:该终端设备保留该第一测量标识对应的上报记录,或该终端设备保持该第一测量标识对应的定时器的计时,或该终端设备保留与该第一测量标识关联的信息。
例如,网络设备可以根据S201接收到的第一能力信息确定终端设备支持在第一测量对象的修改流程执行第二操作。可以理解的是,第一测量对象是第二测量对象中的一个。
可选地,终端设备接收第一测量配置信息之后,在确定第一测量配置信息是用于修改第一测量对象的情况下,终端设备判断第一测量标识是否与时延测量相关联。例如,终端设备确定第一测量标识所关联的上报配置是否包括分组数据汇聚协议数据包平均时延测量的配置信息和/或分组数据汇聚协议额外数据包时延测量的配置信息,如果包括的话,则终端设备确定第一测量标识与时延测量相关联,否则终端设备确定第一测量标识与时延测量没有关联。该分组数据汇聚协议数据包平均时延测量的配置信息也可以称为上行链路时延值配置(Uplink-DelayValueConfig),该上行链路时延值配置用于终端设备执行上行链路分组数据汇聚协议数据包平均时延测量;该分组数据汇聚协议额外数据包时延测量的配置信息也可以称为上行链路额外时延配置(Uplink-ExcessDelayConfig),该上行链路额外时延配置用于终端设备执行上行链路分组数据汇聚协议额外数据包时延测量。
进一步地,终端设备根据判断结果执行不同的操作。可以理解的是,在第一测量对象关联多个测量标识的情况下,终端设备可以针对每一个测量标识执行上述判断,并根据判断结果针对每一个测量标识执行不同的操作。下面针对两种情况分别进行示例性说明。
情况1:
S203a,在第一测量标识与时延测量没有关联的情况下,终端设备执行第一操作。
示例性地,该第一操作包括以下操作中的一项或多项:该终端设备移除(remove)该第一测量标识对应的上报记录,或该终端设备停止(stop)该第一测量标识对应的定时器,或该终端设备重置(reset)与该第一测量标识关联的信息。
示例性地,该第一测量标识对应的上报记录包括以下一项或多项:该第一测量标识、触发小区列表、上报次数、触发参考信号列表、触发源列表、触发资源池列表等。其中,触发小区列表包括满足上报条件的小区的信息,上报次数是终端设备已向网络设备上报测量报告的次数,触发参考信号列表包括满足上报条件的参考信号的信息,触发源列表包括满足上报条件的(侧行链路sidelink)源(source),触发资源池列表包括满足上报条件的(侧行链路sidelink)资源池(resource pool)。该第一测量标识对应的定时器包括以下一种或多种定时器:周期上报定时器、定时器T321、定时器T322。其中,周期上报定时器用于控制该终端设备上报第一测量标识对应的测量报告的时间间隔,定时器T321用于控制该终端设备上报小区全球标识信息(cell global identifier,CGI),定时器T322用于控制该终端设备上 报***帧编号(system frame number,SFN)与帧定时偏差(SFN and frame timing difference,SFTD)信息。该第一测量标识关联的信息例如可以是触发时间信息(timeToTrigger)等。
情况2:
S203b:在第一测量标识与时延测量相关联的情况下,终端设备执行第二操作。
示例性地,该第二操作包括以下操作中的一项或多项:该终端设备保留该第一测量标识对应的上报记录,或该终端设备保持该第一测量标识对应的定时器的计时,或该终端设备保留与该第一测量标识关联的信息。
其中,终端设备保留第一测量标识对应的上报记录,指的是终端设备不移除(或者说不删除)第一测量标识对应的上报记录。因此在这种情况下,终端设备在第一测量对象的修改流程(或者说是在第一测量对象被修改之后)仍然可以基于已有的上报记录进行时延测量和/或上报该时延测量的测量结果,而不需要重新生成上报记录,从而可以避免不必要地重新上报。例如,第一测量标识对应的上报配置指示上报次数为8次,即终端设备需上报8次测量结果,假设在终端设备已上报4次测量结果后,网络设备触发了第一测量对象的修改流程,如果此时终端设备移除上报记录,则终端设备需要重新上报8次测量结果。一方面这会影响时延测量的效率,另一方面,导致了额外的测量结果上报(例如在上述示例中终端设备最终可能上报了12次测量结果),造成不必要地信令开销。而在方法200的方案中,终端设备在第一测量对象的修改流程,保留第一测量标识对应的上报记录,便可以按照第一测量标识对应的上报配置继续上报时延测量的测量结果,从而可以提高效率,节省资源。
终端设备保持该第一测量标识对应的定时器的计时,指的是如果该第一测量标识对应的某个定时器正在运行,则终端设备可以不停止该定时器,而是保持定时器继续运行。因此在这种情况下,终端设备在第一测量对象的修改流程(或者说是在第一测量对象被修改之后)不需要重置定时器,而可以按照原来的报告间隔(reportInterval)上报时延测量的测量结果,从而可以提高效率,节省资源,并且避免因没有按照网络设备配置的报告间隔上报测量结果导致测量结果上报失败的情况。
终端设备保留与该第一测量标识关联的信息,指的是终端设备不重置第一测量标识关联的信息。例如,不重置第一测量标识关联的触发时间(timeToTrigger)信息,从而可以提高效率。
综上所述,在上述方案中,在第一测量标识与时延测量相关联的情况下,终端设备在第一测量对象的修改流程,不重置或不移除第一测量标识相关联的用于测量(或者说用于上报测量结果的)的信息(即上述示例中的上报记录、定时器等信息),因此终端设备可以根据这些信息继续上报时延测量的测量结果,从而可以提高时延测量的效率,避免不必要的信令开销,提高终端设备的业务性能。
可以理解的是,在针对第一测量对象的修改流程中,既可能出现情况1,也可能出现情况2。例如,在针对第一测量对象的修改流程中,与第一测量对象关联的测量标识中,有的测量标识对应情况1,有的测量标识对应情况2。又例如,在针对第一测量对象的修改流程中,与第一测量对象关联的测量标识都对应情况1,或者与第一测量对象关联的测量标识都对应情况2。
在上述方案中,在第一测量标识与时延测量相关联的情况下,网络设备可以在确定终端设备支持在第一测量对象的修改流程执行第二操作的情况下,触发该第一测量对象的修改流程(即发送该第一测量配置信息)。而在另一种可能的实现方式中,如果网络设备确定终端设备不支持在第一测量对象的修改流程执行第二操作,则网络设备可以在第一测量标识对应的时延测量完成之前,不触发第一测量对象的修改流程。下面对这种实现方式作示例性说明。
作为另一种可能的示例2,终端设备在S201发送给网络设备的第一能力信息用于指示在时延测量相关联的第二测量对象的修改流程中,该终端设备不支持以下一项或多项:
支持保留第二测量标识对应的上报记录、或支持保持该第二测量标识对应的定时器的计时、或支持保留与该第二测量标识关联的信息,其中该第二测量标识与该第二测量对象相关联,且该第二测量标识与该时延测量相关联。
作为另一种可能的示例,终端设备不向网络设备发送第一能力信息,由于网络设备未收到所述第一能力信息,网络设备确定该终端设备不支持以下一项或多项:
支持保留第二测量标识对应的上报记录、或支持保持该第二测量标识对应的定时器的计时、或支持保留与该第二测量标识关联的信息,其中该第二测量标识与该第二测量对象相关联,且该第二测量标识与该时延测量相关联。其中第一能力信息的定义可以参考上述一种可能的示例1中的描述,在此 不再赘述。
网络设备可以根据该第一能力信息,确定终端设备不支持在第一测量对象的修改流程执行第二操作。
在这种情况下,网络设备在第一测量标识对应的时延测量完成之前,不触发第一测量对象的修改流程,或者说,网络设备在第一测量标识对应的时延测量完成之后,才触发第一测量对象的修改流程。其中,网络设备可以在接收到第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果之后,确定时延测量完成。
基于上述方案,通过让网络设备在时延测量完成之前,不触发时延测量相关联的测量对象的修改流程,以避免测量对象的修改流程对时延测量的影响。
网络设备可以向终端设备提供时延测量相关的测量配置信息,以便终端设备可以根据该测量配置信息执行时延测量流程,例如进行时延测量,以及上报时延测量的测量结果。然而,如果网络设备在终端设备进行时延测量的过程中,发起了测量对象的移除流程(或者叫做删除流程),可能会对时延测量流程产生影响,例如,可能会影响终端设备上报时延测量的测量结果,导致测量结果上报失败。因此,如何减小测量对象的移除流程对终端设备的时延测量流程产生的影响,提供时延测量流程的成功率,是当前需要考虑的问题。
基于上述问题,图3示出了本申请实施例提供的方法300的示例性流程图。方法300可以使得第一测量对象的移除流程不影响终端设备上报时延测量的测量结果,避免第一测量对象的移除流程导致时延测量流程失败的情况。下面结合图3中的各个步骤对方法300作示例性说明。
可选地,S301,终端设备向网络设备发送第二能力信息。对应地,网络设备接收来自终端设备的该第二能力信息。
作为一种可能的示例1,该第二能力信息用于指示在时延测量相关联的第二测量对象的移除流程中,该终端设备支持保留与该第二测量对象关联的第二测量标识,该第二测量标识与该时延测量相关联。其中,该终端设备支持保留与该第二测量对象关联的第二测量标识,指的是终端设备支持不删除该第二测量标识。
关于该第二测量对象以及第二测量标识的含义可参考方法200中的S201部分关于第二测量对象以及第二测量标识的描述,这里不再赘述。
S302,网络设备向终端设备发送第二测量配置信息。对应地,终端设备接收来自网络设备的该第二测量配置信息。
示例性地,该第二测量配置信息用于指示移除第一测量对象,该第一测量对象与第一测量标识相关联。
可选地,在S302之前,网络设备还可以判断第一测量标识与时延测量是否相关联。例如,网络设备确定第一测量标识所关联的上报配置是否包括分组数据汇聚协议数据包平均时延测量的配置信息和/或分组数据汇聚协议额外数据包时延测量的配置信息,如果包括的话,则网络设备确定第一测量标识与时延测量相关联,否则网络设备确定第一测量标识与时延测量没有关联。
可选地,在第一测量标识与时延测量相关联的情况下,网络设备可以在确定终端设备支持在第一测量对象的移除流程中保留第一测量标识的情况下,触发该第一测量对象的移除流程(即发送该第二测量配置信息)。例如,网络设备可以根据S301接收到的第二能力信息确定终端设备支持在第一测量对象的移除流程中保留第一测量标识。可以理解的是,该第一测量对象为第二测量对象中的一个。
S303a,网络设备移除第一测量对象。
S303b,终端设备移除第一测量对象。
示例性地,终端设备根据第二测量配置信息,移除第一测量对象。
进一步地,网络设备根据判断结果对第一测量标识执行不同的操作。下面针对两种情况分别进行示例性说明。
情况a:在第一测量标识与时延测量没有关联的情况下,网络设备移除第一测量标识。
情况b:在第一测量标识与时延测量相关联的情况下,网络设备保留第一测量标识。其中,网络设备保留第一测量标识指的是网络设备不删除第一测量标识。
可以理解的是,在第一测量标识与时延测量相关联的情况下,该第一测量标识可用于终端设备上报时延测量的测量结果,网络设备可以根据第一测量标识确定终端设备上报的测量结果为时延测量的 测量结果。因此,如果网络设备删除了第一测量标识,则终端设备上报了时延测量的测量结果之后,网络设备可能无法识别该测量结果,从而导致时延测量流程失败。而在上述方案中,网络设备可以在第一测量对象的移除流程,保留与时延测量相关联的第一测量标识,因此可以避免因网络设备删除了第一测量标识导致时延测量流程失败的情况。
可选地,终端设备接收第二测量配置信息之后,在确定第二测量配置信息是用于移除第二测量对象的情况下,终端设备判断第一测量标识是否与时延测量相关联。具体方式可参考方法200的S201部分的描述,这里不再赘述。
可以理解的是,本申请对网络设备执行S302、S303a以及S304a/S304b的顺序不作限定,对终端设备执行S303b以及S305a/S305b的顺序不作限定。
进一步地,终端设备根据判断结果对第一测量标识执行不同的操作。下面针对两种情况分别进行示例性说明。
情况a’:在第一测量标识与时延测量没有关联的情况下,终端设备移除第一测量标识。
情况b’:在第一测量标识与时延测量相关联的情况下,终端设备保留第一测量标识。其中,终端设备保留第一测量标识指的是终端设备不删除第一测量标识。
进一步地,在情况b’中,终端设备可以向网络设备上报第一测量标识关联的时延测量的测量结果,或者说,终端设备使用第一测量标识向网络设备上报时延测量的测量结果。终端设备可以根据第一测量标识对应的上报配置上报该测量结果。
因此,基于上述方案,终端设备可以在第一测量对象的移除流程中,保留与时延测量相关联的第一测量标识,因此可以避免因终端设备删除了第一测量标识导致无法上报时延测量结果,致使时延测量流程失败的情况。
可选地,网络设备在接收该第一测量标识关联的该时延测量的测量结果之后,移除第一测量标识。
可选地,网络设备在接收到该第一测量标识关联的时延测量的测量结果之后,向终端设备发送第四测量配置信息,该第四测量配置信息用于指示移除该第一测量标识。
可选地,终端设备在上报了该第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果之后,移除该第一测量标识。例如,终端设备接收来自网络设备的第四测量配置信息,根据该第四测量配置信息移除该第一测量标识;又例如,终端设备自行移除该第一测量标识。
因此,基于上述方案,终端设备和网络设备在时延测量完成之后,移除第一测量标识,从而可以减少资源占用。
在上述方案中,在第一测量标识与时延测量相关联的情况下,网络设备可以在确定终端设备支持在第一测量对象的移除流程保留第一测量标识的情况下,触发第一测量对象的移除流程(即发送该第二测量配置信息)。而在另一种可能的实现方式中,如果网络设备确定终端设备不支持在第一测量对象的移除流程保留第一测量标识,则网络设备可以在第一测量标识对应的时延测量完成之前,不触发第一测量对象的移除流程。下面对这种实现方式作示例性说明。
作为另一种可能的示例2,终端设备在S301发送给网络设备的第二能力信息用于指示在时延测量相关联的第二测量对象的移除流程,该终端设备不支持保留第二测量标识,其中该第二测量标识与时延测量相关联。
作为另一种可能的示例,终端设备不向网络设备发送第二能力信息,由于网络设备未收到所述第二能力信息,网络设备确定该终端设备不支持在时延测量相关联的第二测量对象的移除流程,保留第二测量标识。其中第二能力信息的定义可以参考上述一种可能的示例1中的描述,在此不再赘述。
网络设备根据该第二能力信息,确定终端设备不支持在第一测量对象的移除流程保留第一测量标识。
在这种情况下,网络设备在第一测量对象关联的时延测量完成之前,不触发第一测量对象的移除流程,或者说,网络设备在第一测量标识对应的时延测量完成之后,才触发第一测量对象的移除流程。其中,网络设备可以在接收到第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果之后,确定时延测量完成。
基于上述方案,通过让网络设备在时延测量完成之前,不触发时延测量相关联的测量对象的移除流程,以避免测量对象的移除流程对时延测量流程产生影响。
可以理解的是,方法300可以独立实施,也可以和方法200结合实施。在一种实现方式中,第一 能力信息和第二能力信息可以承载于同一条消息、或同一信元、或同一字段中。
图4示出了本申请实施例提供的方法400的示例性流程图。方法400可以在第一测量对象的移除流程中与时延测量相关联的第一测量标识被移除的情况下,不影响终端设备上报时延测量的测量结果,避免第一测量对象的移除流程导致时延测量流程失败的情况。下面结合图4中的各个步骤对方法400作示例性说明。
可选地,S401,终端设备向网络设备发送第三能力信息。对应地,网络设备接收来自终端设备的该第三能力信息。
作为一种可能的示例1,该第三能力信息用于指示在时延测量相关联的第二测量对象的移除流程中,该终端设备支持使用第一标识上报该时延测量的测量结果,或者,该第三能力信息用于指示在与时延测量相关联的第二测量标识被移除的情况下,该终端设备支持使用该第一标识上报该第二测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果。
关于该第二测量对象以及第二测量标识的含义可参考方法200中的S201部分关于第二测量对象以及第二测量标识的描述,这里不再赘述。
S402,网络设备向终端设备发送第二测量配置信息。对应地,终端设备接收来自网络设备的该第二测量配置信息。
示例性地,该第二测量配置信息用于指示移除第一测量对象,该第一测量对象与第一测量标识相关联。
可选地,在S402之前,网络设备还可以判断第一测量标识与时延测量是否相关联。具体方式可参考方法300中的S302部分的描述,这里不再赘述。
可选地,网络设备可以在确定终端设备支持在第一测量对象的移除流程中使用第一标识上报第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果的情况下,触发第一测量对象的移除流程(即发送该第二测量配置信息)。例如,网络设备可以根据S401接收到的第三能力信息确定终端设备支持在第一测量对象的移除流程中使用第一标识上报第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果。可以理解的是,第一测量对象是第二测量对象中的一个。
S403a,网络设备移除第一测量对象。
S403b,终端设备移除第一测量对象。
示例性地,终端设备根据第二测量配置信息,移除第一测量对象。
S4034,网络设备移除第一测量标识。
S404b,终端设备移除第一测量标识。
示例性地,终端设备接收第二测量配置信息后,在确定该第二测量配置信息用于移除第一测量对象的情况下,该终端设备移除与该第一测量对象关联的第一测量标识。
可以理解的是,本申请对网络设备执行S402、S403a、S404a的顺序不作限定,并且对终端设备执行S403b、S404b的顺序不作限定。
S405,终端设备使用第一标识上报第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果。
示例性地,在第一测量标识被移除之后,终端设备使用与该第一测量标识不同的第一标识上报该第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果。
该第一标识可以是预配置的标识,可以是协议规定的标识,也可以是终端设备和网络设备协商确定的标识。该第一标识可以是专门用于在测量对象的移除流程上报时延测量的测量结果的标识,也可以是其他流程中使用的某个标识,本申请对此不作限定。本申请对第一标识的取值不作限定,作为一种示例,该第一标识可以作为一种特殊的测量标识,由于测量标识的取值范围为1~64,因此第一标识的取值可以是在1~64之间预留的任意值。或者,第一标识的取值也可以是1~64以外的其他值,例如,第一标识的取值可以为0,本申请对此不做限定。该第一标识用于在时延测量相关联的测量标识被删除的情况下,上报该测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果。该第一标识可以包括一个或多个标识。
本申请对终端设备使用第一标识上报时延测量结果的方式不作限定。在一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备根据第一测量标识对应的上报配置上报该测量结果;在另一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备根据预配置的上报配置上报该测量结果。
对应地,网络设备接收来自终端设备的该测量结果,并根据该第一标识确定该测量结果是时延测 量的测量结果。
基于上述方案,在第一测量对象的移除流程中,终端设备可以在第一测量标识被移除的情况下,使用与第一测量标识不同的第一标识上报时延测量的测量结果,避免在第一测量对象的移除流程中第一测量标识被移除,导致时延测量的测量结果无法上报的情况。
在上述方案中,在第一测量标识与时延测量相关联的情况下,网络设备可以在确定终端设备支持在第一测量对象的移除流程使用第一标识上报第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果的情况下,触发第一测量对象的移除流程(即发送该第二测量配置信息)。而在另一种可能的实现方式中,如果网络设备确定终端设备不支持在第一测量对象的移除流程使用第一标识上报第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果,则网络设备可以在第一测量标识对应的时延测量完成之前,不触发第一测量对象的移除流程。下面对这种实现方式作示例性说明。
作为另一种可能的示例2,终端设备在S401方式给网络设备的第三能力信息用于指示在时延测量相关联的第二测量对象的移除流程,该终端设备不支持使用第一标识上报第二测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果,其中该第二测量标识与时延测量相关联。
作为另一种可能的示例,终端设备不向网络设备发送第三能力信息,由于网络设备未收到所述第三能力信息,网络设备确定该终端设备不支持在时延测量相关联的第二测量对象的移除流程,使用第一标识上报第二测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果。其中第二能力信息的定义可以参考上述一种可能的示例1中的描述,在此不再赘述。
网络设备根据该第三能力信息,确定终端设备不支持在第一测量对象的移除流程使用第一标识上报第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果。
在这种情况下,网络设备在第一测量对象关联的时延测量完成之前,不触发第一测量对象的移除流程,或者说,网络设备在第一测量标识对应的时延测量完成之后,才触发第一测量对象的移除流程。其中,网络设备可以在接收到第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果之后,确定时延测量完成。
基于上述方案,通过让网络设备在时延测量完成之前,不触发时延测量相关联的测量对象的移除流程,以避免测量对象的移除流程对时延测量的影响。
可以理解的是,方法400可以独立实施,也可以和方法200和/或方法300结合实施。在一种实现方式中,第一能力信息、第二能力信息和第三能力信息中的两项或三项可以承载于同一条消息、或同一信元、或同一字段中。
可以理解的是,在方法300和方法400结合实施的情况下,如果终端设备既支持在第一测量对象的移除流程保留与时延测量相关联的第一测量标识,又支持在第一测量对象的移除流程使用第一标识上报第一测量标识对应的时延测量的测量结果的话,则网络设备可以指示终端设备采用其中的任意一种方式上报时延测量的测量结果。
在一些流程中,终端设备会进行小区测量,并向网络设备上报小区测量结果。然而,在一些情况下,终端设备可能会上报一些无效的,甚至是对网络设备有误导作用的测量结果,例如,终端设备可能会上报了两个相同小区的测量结果,导致终端设备的资源被浪费,甚至可能出现终端设备进行不合理的切换的情况。如何在终端设备的小区测量过程中,节省终端设备的资源,避免可能出现的不合理的切换的情况,是当前需要考虑的问题。
基于上述问题,图5示出了本申请实施例提供的方法500的示意性流程图。方法500可以避免终端设备基于同一小区的测量结果触发测量上报,可以减少资源浪费,避免出现不合理切换的情况。下面结合图7中的各个步骤对方法500作示例性说明。
S501,终端设备获取第一小区的第一测量结果和第二小区的第二测量结果。
示例性地,第一小区和第二小区为不同的小区,且该第二小区为终端设备的服务小区。
可以理解的是,该服务小区可以是特殊小区(special cell,SpCell),其中,SpCell可以为主小区(primary cell,PCell)和/或主辅小区(primary secondary cell,PSCell)。第一小区关联第一测量对象,第二小区关联第二测量对象,终端设备根据第一测量对象对第一小区进行测量得到该第一测量结果,终端设备根据第二测量对象对第二小区进行测量得到第二测量结果。
S502,终端设备评估第一测量结果和第二测量结果是否满足上报准则。
示例性地,终端设备获取第一测量结果和第二测量结果之后,评估第一测量结果和第二测量结果 是否满足上报准则。在一种实现方式中,该上报准则可以指的是第一测量对象所关联的上报配置中的上报准则,本申请对此不做限定。
在满足上报准则的情况下,终端设备向网络设备上报测量报告,该测量报告包括第一测量结果和第二测量结果。
作为一种示例,该上报准则可以是A3事件或A5事件。例如,该上报准则包括以下一项或多项:第一小区的信号质量与第二小区的信号质量的差值高于第一阈值,该第一阈值例如可以是一个偏移值;第一小区的信号质量高于第二阈值,且第二小区的信号质量低于第三阈值。可以理解的是,第一测量结果包括该第一小区的信号质量,第二测量结果包括该第二小区的信号质量。
可选地,终端设备判断第一小区和第二小区是否为相同的小区。
在一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备可以在S501之前判断第一小区和第二小区是否为相同的小区。例如,终端设备接收来自网络设备的第五配置信息,该第五配置信息用于指示对第一测量对象和第二测量对象进行测量。第一小区关联第一测量对象,第二小区关联第二测量对象。终端设备判断第一小区和第二小区是否为相同的小区。在第一小区和第二小区为不同的小区的情况下,终端设备分别对第一小区和第二小区进行测量,得到第一测量结果和第二测量结果;在第一小区和第二小区为相同的小区的情况下,终端设备可以不对第一小区进行测量,或者终端设备可以不对第二小区进行测量。通过上述方案,可以减少不必要的测量,从而节省终端设备的资源。具体例如,第二小区为PCell(或PSCell),终端设备在进行测量之前,判断该第一小区是否为该PCell(或PSCell),如果是的话,说明第一小区和第二小区为同一小区,在这种情况下,终端设备不对第一小区进行测量,或者不对第二小区进行测量。
在另一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备可以在S502之前判断第一小区和第二小区是否为相同的小区。例如,终端设备获取第一测量结果和第二测量结果之后,判断第一小区和第二小区是否为相同的小区。在第一小区和第二小区为不同的小区的情况下,终端设备评估第一测量结果和第二测量结果是否满足上报准则;在第一小区和第二小区为相同的小区的情况下,终端设备不评估第一测量结果和第二测量结果是否满足上报准则。通过上述方案,可以避免评估同一个小区的测量结果以及向网络设备上报相同的小区的测量结果导致的资源浪费,并且可以避免可能出现的不合理切换的情况。其中,不合理切换可以是终端设备从当前服务小区发起小区切换流程,再次切换到该小区上。具体例如,第二小区为PCell(或PSCell),终端设备判断第一小区是否为该PCell(或PSCell),如果是的话,说明第一小区和第二小区为同一小区,在这种情况下,终端设备不评估第一测量结果和第二测量结果是否满足上报准则。
在又一种可能的实现方式中,终端设备可以在S502之后判断第一小区和第二小区是否为相同的小区。例如,终端设备获取第一测量结果和第二测量结果之后,评估确定第一测量结果和第二测量结果满足上报准则的情况下,终端设备进一步判断第一小区和第二小区是否为相同的小区。在第一小区和第二小区为不同的小区的情况下,终端设备向网络设备上报测量报告;在第一小区和第二小区为相同的小区的情况下,终端设备不向网络设备上报测量报告。通过上述方案,可以避免向网络设备上报相同的小区的测量结果触发的测量报告,从而减少资源浪费,避免出现不合理切换的情况。例如,第二小区为PCell(或PSCell),终端设备获取第一测量结果和第二测量结果,并且确定第一测量结果和第二测量结果满足上报准则的情况下,终端设备判断第一小区是否为该PCell(或PSCell),如果是的话,说明第一小区和第二小区为同一小区,在这种情况下,终端设备不向网络上报该PCell(或PSCell)的测量结果触发的测量报告。
基于上述方案,在第一小区和第二小区为不同小区的情况下,终端设备评估第一小区对应的第一测量结果以及第二小区对应的第二测量结果是否满足上报准则;在第一小区和第二小区为同一小区的情况下,终端设备不对第一小区或第二小区进行测量,或者终端设备不评估第一测量结果和第二测量结果是否满足上报准则,或者终端设备不上报第一测量结果和第二测量结果对应的测量报告,从而避免终端设备基于同一小区的测量结果触发测量上报,可以减少资源浪费,避免出现不合理的切换的情况。
在一个具体示例中,第一测量对象关联的上报配置中包括上述上报准则(如A3事件或A5事件)。假设SpCell关联了第一测量对象,以及除第一测量对象以外的第二测量对象。即使第二测量对象是当 前指定的用于获取SpCell结果的测量对象,终端设备也不会将第一测量对象关联的SpCell当做是第一测量对象关联的SpCell的邻区,因此可以避免终端设备基于同一小区的测量结果触发测量上报。
可以理解的是,上述方案是以第二小区为终端设备的服务小区,第一小区为终端设备的邻小区为例进行说明的,但在另一种可能的实现方式中,第一小区和第二小区可能都是该终端设备的邻小区,本申请对此不作限定。
还可以理解的是,在一种可能的实现场景中,第二测量对象对应终端设备的激活带宽部分,第一测量对象不对应的终端设备的激活带宽部分。上述方案可以应用于激活带宽部分的切换流程。
还可以理解的是,在一种可能的实现场景中,方法500中的终端设备可以是RedCap UE,在这种情况下,第二小区为PCell。因此在第一小区不为该PCell的情况下,终端设备确定第一小区和第二小区不为同一小区。第二测量对象是当前指定的用于获取SpCell结果的测量对象,但在第一测量对象上的PCell也不会被当做是邻区。
