Description

Wireless communication method and communication device

This application claims the priority of a Chinese patent application filed with the Chinese Patent Office on August 15, 2019, the application number is 201910755312.6, and the application name is "a wireless communication method and communication device", the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference Applying.

Technical field

The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of communication, and more specifically, to a method and communication device for wireless communication.

Background technique

With the development of communication technology, the base station (envolved node base station, eNB) of the long term evolution (LTE) system can evolve into the next generation LTE base station (Next Generation eNB, ng-eNB). The ng-eNB can be connected to the 5th generation core network (5GC), allowing user equipment (UE) to access 5GC through the ng-eNB, and the ng-eNB through the 4G air interface access technology E-UTRA Provide wireless transmission resources for the UE, and provide 5GC services for the UE. At the same time, this ng-eNB can also be connected to the evolved packet core (EPC) of the 4th generation mobile communication technology (4G), so that the UE can access the EPC through the ng-eNB. Provide EPC service for UE. In actual deployment, the ng-eNB can only be connected to 5GC or EPC, or the ng-eNB can be connected to 5GC and EPC at the same time.

A new air interface access technology is defined in the 5th generation mobile communication technology (5GS), which is called new radio (NR). Terminal equipment can access 5GC through NR base station gNB. The access network (radio access network, RAN) of the 5G system may be called next generation-RAN (NG-RAN). The nodes of NG-RAN include ng-eNB and gNB. Since NG-RAN contains multiple radio access technologies (RAT), for example, E-UTRA and NR connected to 5GC, when the UE moves between the cells of the above multiple RATs, due to the existing network There are some base stations that do not support reading reports generated under other RATs, for example, radio link failure (RLF) reports, etc., that is, some base stations cannot recognize the RAT reported by the UE and generated under a different RAT from the serving base station The report causes the base station to discard the report because it cannot read it, and the UE also discards the report after sending the report, which causes the report to be lost. Ultimately, the performance of self-organization network (SON) and minimization of drive tests (MDT) is reduced.

Summary of the invention

The present application provides a wireless communication method and communication device, which can avoid report loss.

In the first aspect, a wireless communication method is provided. The method can be executed by a terminal device or a module (such as a chip) configured in the terminal device. The following takes the method executed by the terminal device as an example for description.

The method includes: a terminal device generates first indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate whether a first report is available, and the first report is a report recorded by the terminal device under a first radio access technology RAT; The terminal device sends first indication information to the target network device, and the target network device is a network device that uses a second RAT.

Among them, the “report recorded under the first radio access technology RAT” may also be understood as a report corresponding to the first RAT, or in other words, a report of the first RAT.

The "report recorded under the first radio access technology RAT" can be understood as the first report is a report recorded (or generated or obtained) by the terminal device under the service of the source network device using the first RAT.

Or, “report recorded under the first radio access technology RAT” may be understood as the first report is a report recorded or generated when the terminal device uses the first RAT to communicate.

Or, “report recorded under the first radio access technology RAT” can be understood as the first report is an abnormality or failure of the link (or connection) based on the first RAT between the terminal device and the source network device (For example, when a wireless link failure occurs) the report recorded by the terminal device.

According to the solution of this application, the first indication information is sent to the network device through the terminal device, the first indication information includes information about whether the first report is available, so that the network device determines whether to support the first report according to the first indication information, avoiding the network device If the first report is requested when the RAT corresponding to the first report is not known, but the first report cannot be interpreted, resulting in the loss of the first report, it is ultimately ensured that the performance of SON and MDT will not be affected by the loss of the report recorded by the terminal device .

As an example and not a limitation, the first indication information in this application may include a cell, and the cell may indicate whether the report of the first RAT is available. For example, suppose the first RAT is NR, and the report is RLF report, when the report is available, the first indication information may be NR RLF report available (NRrlf-InfoAvailable).

For another example, the first indication information in this application may include at least two information elements, and the one information element indicates the identity of the first RAT, and the other information element indicates whether the report is available. For example, suppose the first RAT If the report is an NR, and the report is an RLF report, when the report is available, one information element in the first indication information may be an NR identifier, and the other information element may be an RLF report available (rlf-InfoAvailable). That is, in this case, the first indication information may include the identification (or identification information) of the first RAT.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first RAT and the second RAT may be a combination of any two RATs: NR for 5G systems, E-UTRA for LTE systems, and E-UTRA for 3G systems. UTRA or WLAN.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first RAT may be any one of the following: 5G, NR, LTE, E-UTRA, 3G, UTRA or WLAN.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first indication information is carried in a newly defined air interface message, or the first indication information is carried in an air interface message in the prior art and sent to The target network device, for example, the first indication information is carried in any one of the following air interface messages: RRC reestablishment complete message (RRCReestablishmentComplete), RRC recovery complete message (RRCResumeComplete), RRC establishment complete message (RRCSetupComplete), or RRC Reconfiguration complete message (RRCReconfigurationComplete).

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementation manners of the first aspect, the first report includes identification information of the first RAT.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the first indication information uses a "true" and/or "false" manner to indicate whether the first report is available. For example, when the value carried in the first indication information is true, the first indication information indicates that the first report is available; when the value carried in the first indication information is false, the first indication information indicates that the first report is not available .

For example, the first RAT is NR, and the second RAT is LTE. The terminal device sends an RLF report to the target network device using the second RAT. The first indication information can be expressed as NRrlf-InfoAvailable, where "NR" indicates that the report is a report of NR technology, and "rlf" indicates that the available information is indicated as RLF The reported available information indicates that the target network device determines whether the RLF report of the NR technology is available after receiving the first indication information (ie, NRrlf-InfoAvailable). When the NRrlf-InfoAvailable is carried in the RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete message RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete, it can be expressed as:

or,

Among them, the first indication information indicates whether the first report is available through the enumeration function "ENUMERATED" enumerating "true" and/or "false". The first indication information may also indicate whether the first report is available through the selection function "CHOICE" or the boolean value "BOOLEAN" Whether the first report is available, but this application is not limited to this.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the terminal device receives second indication information sent by the target network device, and the second indication information is used to indicate whether the target network device requests to send The first report:

Sending, by the terminal device, the first report if the result indicated by the second indication information is yes;

The terminal device does not send the first report if the result indicated by the second indication information is no.

Based on this solution, the target network device determines whether the terminal device can provide the report of the first RAT according to the received first indication information, and sends the request information according to the processing capability and demand of the network device to the first RAT, and the terminal device responds to the network The first report is sent or not sent at the request of the device, so the loss of the first report can be effectively avoided.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementation manners of the first aspect, the second indication information includes identification information of the first RAT.

For example, the first report is the RLF report of NR, that is, the first RAT is NR, and when the second indication information indicates whether to request the RLF report of LTE and whether to request the RLF report of NR, the terminal device passes the second indication information The identification information (ie, NR) of the first RAT in, determines whether the network device requests the terminal device to send the first report.

For example, the second indication information sent by the target network device includes the request information of the RACH report and the request information of the RLF report, and when the first RAT is 5G, the second indication information may be expressed as:

For another example, the second indication information sent by the target network device includes the request information of the RLF report of LTE and the request information of the RLF report of NR, and the second indication information may be expressed as:

The second indication information may indicate whether the network device requests a report through the Boolean value "BOOLEAN", and the second indication information may also indicate whether the network device requests a report through an enumeration function or a selection function, but the application is not limited to this.

Based on this solution, when the second indication information includes a request indication for multiple reports of the same type of different RATs, by indicating the identification information of the RAT, the terminal device can determine the RAT corresponding to the report requested by the network device, so that the terminal device Reaching a consensus with the RAT corresponding to the requested report by the network device avoids the loss of the report due to the wrong transmission of the terminal device.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the terminal device receives third indication information sent by the target network device, where the third indication information is used to indicate whether the target network device supports all Reports of RATs other than the second RAT.

Wherein, "whether the target network device supports the report of a RAT other than the second RAT" can be understood as: whether the target network device can handle the report of a RAT other than the second RAT.

Wherein, "whether the target network device can handle reports of RATs other than the second RAT" can be understood as: whether the target network device can receive or forward reports of RATs other than the second RAT.

Wherein, "whether the target network device can handle reports of RATs other than the second RAT" can be understood as: whether the target network device can parse reports of RATs other than the second RAT.

The report of a RAT other than the second RAT may be the first report.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementation manners of the first aspect, the terminal device sends the first report when the result indicated by the third indication information is yes; the terminal device If the result indicated by the third indication information is no, the first report is not sent.

Based on this solution, the terminal device determines whether the network device supports the report of the first RAT according to the capability information sent by the target network device, and sends the first report if it can receive the report of the first RAT, but cannot receive the report of the first RAT In the case of, the first report is not sent, which avoids the situation that the first report is lost after the terminal device sends the first report that the network device cannot interpret to the network device.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementation manners of the first aspect, the terminal device receives the third indication information before sending the first indication information, and the terminal device indicates that the result of the third information is yes In the case of sending the first indication information; if the result indicated by the third information is no, the terminal device does not send the first indication information, or sends the first indication information, so The first indication information indicates that the first report is not available.

Based on this solution, the terminal device determines whether the network device supports the report of the first RAT according to the capability information sent by the target network device, and determines whether to send the first indication information of whether the first report is available to the network device, avoiding the network device when the first report is available. After the device requested to send the report, the network device could not interpret it, resulting in the loss of the first report.

The first message may be an RRC connection reconfiguration complete message, an RRC reestablishment complete message, or a physical layer downlink control information.

The first message may also be a message used to carry third indication information. When the terminal device determines that the first message does not include the third indication information after receiving the first message, the terminal device will not Sending the first report to the target network device. It can also be said that when the terminal device determines that the first message does not include the third indication information after receiving the first message, the terminal device considers that the target network device does not support the first report, and The terminal device does not send the first report. The starting point of the preset time period may be the time point when the terminal device searches for the target network device (for example, the initial access signal of the target network device is searched) or the starting point of the preset time period may be the establishment between the terminal device and the target network device The time point of the RRC connection (for example, the RRC establishment complete message is received), this solution does not limit this.

For example, the first message may be an RRC reconfiguration complete message (RRC Reconfiguration Complete). When the terminal device receives the RRC reconfiguration complete message and determines that the RRC reconfiguration complete message does not include the third indication information, the terminal device considers The network device does not have the ability to receive the first report, and therefore, will not send the first report to the network device.

Form 2: The preset time period may be indicated by a timer or a counter, the preset time period is a period of time from when the timer is started to the time before the timer expires or expires, or the preset time period is from when the counter starts to The time interval for the counter to zero or reach the maximum value.

Based on this solution, when the terminal device does not receive the capability information sent by the network device within the preset time period, the network device cannot receive the first report by default, and does not send the first report to the network device, which prevents the network device from receiving the first report.

Wearable devices are not only a hardware device, but also realize powerful functions through software support, data interaction, and cloud interaction. In a broad sense, wearable smart devices include full-featured, large-sized, complete or partial functions that can be achieved without relying on smart phones, such as smart watches or smart glasses, and only focus on a certain type of application function, and need to cooperate with other devices such as smart phones. Use, such as various smart bracelets and smart jewelry for physical sign monitoring.

In addition, the terminal device may also be a terminal device in an Internet of Things (IoT) system. IoT is an important part of the development of information technology in the future. Its main technical feature is to connect objects to the network through communication technology, so as to realize the intelligent network of human-machine interconnection and interconnection of things.

It should be understood that this application does not limit the specific form of the terminal device.

Fig. 2 shows an exemplary flow chart of a wireless communication method provided by an embodiment of the present application.

Before S210, the serving network device of the terminal device was changed from network device #1 to network device #2 (that is, an example of the target network device), where network device #1 adopted RAT#1 (that is, an example of the first RAT) ), the network device #2 is a network device using RAT#2 (ie, an example of the second RAT).

For example, this method can be applied to a situation where a terminal device fails under NR and then switches to LTE, or this method can also be applied to a situation where a terminal device fails under LTE and switches to NR. This application is not limited. In order to facilitate understanding and description, a case where a terminal device fails under NR and switches to LTE is taken as an example for description.

As shown in FIG. 2, in S210, the terminal device sends instruction information #1 (ie, an example of the first instruction information) to the network device #2, and the instruction information #1 is used to indicate whether the report #1 is available. Report #1 is the report of RAT#1 recorded by the terminal device.

Among them, RAT#1 and RAT#2 are different radio access technologies.

As an example and not limitation, RAT#1 and RAT#2 may be a combination of any two RATs: NR of 5G system, E-UTRA of eLTE or LTE system, UTRA or WLAN of 3G system.

It should be noted that indication information #1 is used to indicate whether report #1 is available, where "available" indicates whether the terminal device stores or records the report indicated by the indication information, so that the network device can determine whether the indication is required according to the indication information Report. It can also be said that "Available" indicates whether the terminal device stores or records the indicated report for the network device to retrieve and use.

The instruction information #1 may be carried in an air interface message and sent to the network device #2. The air interface message may be an air interface message in the prior art, or may be a newly defined air interface message, which is not limited in this application.

It should be noted that the air interface message may be a message specified by the RAT used by the network device #2 for communication between the terminal device and the network device.

For example, when network device #2 is an NR network device, the air interface message carrying indication information #1 may be any of the following messages: RRC reestablishment complete message (RRC reestablishment complete), RRC resume complete message (RRC resume) complete), RRC setup complete message (RRC setup complete), RRC reconfiguration complete message (RRC reconfiguration complete).

For another example, when network device #2 is an LTE network device, the air interface message carrying indication information #1 can be any one of the following messages: RRC connection reestablishment Complete message (RRC connection reestablishment Complete), RRC connection recovery complete Message (RRC connection resume complete), RRC connection setup complete message (RRC connection setup complete), RRC connection reconfiguration complete message (RRC connection reconfiguration complete).

As an example and not a limitation, report #1 can be any of the following reports:

RLF report (RLF-report), RLF report is a report recorded when a UE has a radio link failure. The content of the report can refer to the existing technology (such as 3GPP TS 38.331 and TS 36.331 and other wireless communication protocols specified in the terminal equipment The report content recorded when the wireless link fails). Correspondingly, indication information #1 is an indication of RLF report availability, for example, RLF-infoavailable

Connection establishment failure report (connEstFailInfo). The connection establishment failure report is a report recorded by a terminal device that has failed to establish a connection. The content of the report can refer to the existing technology (for example, 3GPP TS 38.331 and TS 36.331, etc.). The report content of the report recorded by the terminal device when the connection establishment fails). Correspondingly, the indication information #1 is an available indication of the connection establishment failure report, for example, connEstFailInfoAvailable.

RACH report (RACH-report), RACH report is a report of random access failure or success record. The content of the report can refer to the existing technology (for example, 3GPP TS 38.331 and TS 36.331). The report content of the report recorded when random access fails or succeeds). Correspondingly, the indication information #1 is a RACH report available indication, for example, RACH-infoavailable.

Log measurement report (logmeas). The log measurement report is the measurement report recorded by the UE in the idle state, that is, the MDT measurement log report. The content of the report can refer to the existing technology (for example, 3GPP TS 38.331 and TS 36.331 and other wireless communication protocols) The measurement performed by the terminal device is the report content of the generated measurement report). Correspondingly, the indication information #1 is an indication that the log measurement report is available, for example, logMeasAvailable.

The secondary base station connection failure report (SCGfailureinfo). The secondary base station connection failure report is a report recorded by the terminal equipment when the secondary base station fails to connect. The content of the report can refer to the existing technology (for example, wireless communication protocols such as 3GPP TS 38.331 and TS 36.331) The report content of the report recorded by the terminal equipment when the secondary base station connection fails). Correspondingly, the indication information #1 is an available indication of the connection failure report of the secondary base station, such as SCGfailureinfoavailable.

Idle mode measurement report (flightPathInfo). The idle mode measurement report is used to indicate the report that the terminal device is measuring in the idle mode. The content of the report can refer to the existing technology (for example, the terminal specified in the wireless communication protocol such as 3GPP TS 38.331 and TS 36.331) The report content of the measurement report recorded by the device during idle mode measurement). Correspondingly, the indication information #1 is an idle mode measurement report available indication, such as idleMeasAvailable.

Flight route report (MeasIdleReport). The flight route report is the route of the terminal equipment flying in the air. The content of the report can refer to the existing technology (for example, the terminal equipment specified in the wireless communication protocol such as 3GPP TS 38.331 and TS 36.331 is flying in the air The report content of the flight route report recorded at the time). Correspondingly, the instruction information #1 is an available instruction for flight route report, for example, flightPathInfoAvailable.

Movement history information (flightPathInfo), the movement history information includes the movement history information of the terminal device, including the information of the cell where it has stayed. The content of the report can refer to the existing technology (for example, the information content of the movement history information recorded by the terminal device when the terminal device moves as specified in the wireless communication protocol such as 3GPP TS 38.331 and TS 36.331). Correspondingly, the indication information #1 is an indication that the movement history information is available, for example, mobilityHistoryAvail.

For example, if RAT#1 is the RAT used by the NR and the report is an RLF report, that is, the indication information #1 indicates that the RLF report recorded under the NR of the NR is available, then the indication information #1 may be expressed as NRrlf-InfoAvailable.

For another example, the indication information #1 may use the form of true and/or false to indicate whether the report #1 is available.

For example, RAT#1 is NR technology, network device #1 is NR technology network device, RAT#2 is LTE technology, and network device #2 is LTE technology network device. That is, the terminal device moves from the network device #1 using the NR technology to the network device #2 using the LTE technology, and establishes an RRC connection with the network device #2. Taking the terminal device sending the RLF report available indication to the network device as an example, the indication information #1 is NRrlf-InfoAvailable, where “NR” means that the RLF report is a report of NR technology, and the network device is receiving the indication information #1( That is, NRrlf-InfoAvailable) can determine whether the RLF report of the NR technology is available. When the NRrlf-InfoAvailable is carried in the RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete message RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete, it can be expressed as:

As above, when the enumeration function ENUMERATED indicates "true", it means that the RLF report of the NR technology recorded by the terminal device is available. In addition, since the NRrlf-InfoAvailable is "OPTIONAL", it is an optional configuration parameter. When the "NRrlf-InfoAvailable" indication is not configured in the RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete message, it means that the RLF report of the NR technology is not available. Conversely, when the enumeration function ENUMERATED can also be indicated as "false", it means that the report is not available, and when the NRrlf-InfoAvailable indication is not configured in the RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete message, it means that the report is not available.

Or, it can be expressed as:

When the enumeration function ENUMERATED is indicated as "true", it means that the RLF report of the NR technology recorded by the terminal device is available, and when the enumeration function ENUMERATED is indicated as "false", it means that the RLF report of the NR technology recorded by the terminal device is not available. In addition, when the indication information #1 indicates that the RLF report of the NR technology is not available (in other words, when the indication information #1 does not exist), the information element ENUMERATED may not be included.

Alternatively, the indication information #1 may also be expressed as a selection function CHOICE, or a boolean value form indicating that the report is available or unavailable.

As an example and non-limiting, the message carrying the indication information #1 also includes the report availability indication information without the RAT identification, which is used to indicate whether the report of the RAT adopted by the network device currently connected to the terminal device is available. For example, if the RAT used by the network device currently connected to the UE is LTE, the indication information #1 used to indicate that the RLF report of LTE is available, carried in the RRC message of LTE, may be expressed as "rlf-InfoAvailable".

In addition, if the terminal device obtains (or records or generates) a report under RAT#2, the terminal device can also report indication information #4 (that is, an example of the fourth indication information), which can be used for Indicates that the report of this RAT#2 is available. For example, in the above example of the RLF reporting the RRC connection reconfiguration complete message, the message also includes rlf-InfoAvailable, which is used to indicate the network device to which the terminal device is currently connected, that is, the RAT adopted by the network device #2, that is Whether the RLF report of RAT#2 is available can be expressed as follows:

As an example and not a limitation, each report available indication information carried in the message carrying indication information #1 includes the identification information of the RAT corresponding to the indicated report.

For example, in the above example of the RLF reporting the RRC connection reconfiguration complete message, the message may also be expressed as follows:

It should be understood that the specific form of the first indication information listed above is only exemplary, and this application is not limited to this. The content and form indicated by the first indication information may be based on the actual communication situation of the terminal device (for example, obtaining a report). The RAT and the network device it is switched to at the time) are changed.

For example, when the terminal device records the RLF report under LTE and switches to the NR network device, the first indication information can be expressed as: LTERrlf-InfoAvailable

In addition, the air interface message carrying the first indication information, for example, the RRC Reconfiguration Complete message may be expressed as:

In addition, if the terminal device records the RLF report in the NR, the terminal device can also report the indication information of whether the RLF report of the NR is available.

In addition, the air interface message carrying the first indication information, for example, the RRC Reconfiguration Complete message may be expressed as:

S220: The network device #2 receives the instruction information #1.

Optionally, network device #2 may send indication information #2 (ie, an example of second indication information), and the indication information #2 is used to indicate whether network device #2 requests to send the report #1.

S230: The terminal device receives the instruction information #2 sent by the network device #2.

S240: The terminal device may determine whether to request to send the report #1 according to the indication information #2.

S250: In a case where the network device #2 requests to send the report #1, the terminal device sends the report #1.

After receiving the indication information #1, the network device #2 determines whether the report #1 of the RAT #1 indicated by the indication information #1 is available. In addition, when the report #1 of RAT#1 is available, and the network device #2 supports or needs the report of RAT#1, the indication information #2 can be sent; when the network device #2 does not support the report of RAT#1, or not When report #1 is required, the network device may not send instruction information #2.

When network device #2 receives report #1, it sends report #1 to network device #1, which can be used for the SON and/or MDT of network device #1 to ensure the performance of SON and/or MDT.

In this application, the indication information #2 may be carried in the air interface message sent by the network device to the terminal device, and the air interface message carrying the indication information #2 may be an air interface message in the prior art or a newly defined air interface message. This application does not limit this. For example, indication information #2 is carried in the UE Information Request message UEInformationRequest sent by the network device to the terminal device, indicating that the network device requires a certain type of UE report in a certain RAT.

Example one

UEInformationRequest carries indication information #2, report #1 is a random access report, and indication information #2 is a random access report request rach-ReportReq, then the message can be expressed as follows:

Example 2: As an example and non-limiting, the indication information #2 includes the identification information of RAT#1.

For example, report #1 is a random access report under the NR network, and indication information #2 is a random access report request message NRrach-ReportReq, then the UEInformationRequest message can be expressed as follows:

Example 3: The message bearing indication information #2 only includes the identification information of RATs other than RAT#2. That is to say, the message carrying indication information #2 only includes the identification information of the RAT other than the RAT adopted by the network device #2. When a request indication does not include the RAT identification, the request message indicates the identification information of the RAT adopted by the network device #2. report.

Example 4: Indication information #1 may only be used to indicate whether the RLF report of LTE is available and whether the RLF report of NR is available.

In addition, the indication information #2 may only be used to indicate whether the network device needs an LTE RLF report is available and whether the network device needs an NR RLF report.

In addition, the indication information #3 may only be used to indicate whether the network device supports the RLF report of LTE and whether the network device supports the RLF report of NR.

For example, the rlf-ReportReq included in the UEInformationRequest message in the above example is used to indicate the RLF report of RAT#2.

As an example and not a limitation, the request indication information in the message carrying indication information #2 all includes the identification information of the RAT corresponding to the report indicated by each request indication.

For example, the UEInformationRequest message can be in the following form:

Wherein, the indication information #2 can indicate whether the network device requests a report through the Boolean value BOOLEAN, and the indication information #2 can also indicate whether the network device requests a report through an enumeration function or a selection function, but the application is not limited to this.

The terminal device can reuse the air interface message of the prior art to send a report to the network device, or send the report in a newly defined air interface message. For example, the terminal device sends a report in a UE information response message. It can be any of the following methods:

method one:

Fig. 3 shows another exemplary flowchart of a wireless communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

Before S310, the serving network device of the terminal device was changed from network device #1 to network device #2 (that is, an example of the target network device), where network device #1 adopted RAT#1 (that is, an example of the first RAT) ), the network device #2 is a network device using RAT#2 (ie, an example of the second RAT).

S310: The network device #2 sends instruction information #3 to the terminal device, and the instruction information #3 is used to indicate whether the network device supports the report of a RAT other than the second RAT.

As an example and not a limitation, in this application, the instruction information #3 may include at least one of the following forms.

Form 1

The indication information #3 includes information indicating whether the network device #2 is capable of supporting (or processing) reports of other networks other than the RAT#2 network.

Instruction #3 can be represented by 0 or 1. For example, the information in instruction #2 indicates 0, indicating that network device #2 supports reports from other networks; Indication 1, indicates that network device #2 does not support reports from other network devices , But this application is not limited to this.

Form 2

The indication information #3 includes information indicating the version of the network device #2. The protocol stipulates or the system presets the ability of the network device of each version to receive reports from each RAT. Therefore, the network device indirectly indicates the ability of the network device to receive the reports of each RAT through the indication information #3 indicating the version of the network device. After receiving the instruction information #3, the terminal device determines whether the network device supports the report of each RAT according to the network device version information in the instruction information #3, and then determines whether the network device #3 is capable of receiving the report of the RAT#1.

For example, the information indicating the version of the network device in the information #3 indicates that the network device #2 is a release 15 network device. The network device stipulated in the protocol or the system preset release 15 does not support receiving the NR report, then the terminal device can determine that the network device #2 does not support receiving the NR network report after receiving the instruction information #3.

For another example, the information indicating the version of the network device #3 indicates that the network device #2 is a release 16 network device. The network device specified in the protocol or the system preset release 16 supports receiving the report of the LTE network, then the terminal device can determine that the network device #2 supports receiving the report of the LTE network after receiving the instruction information #3.

Form 3

The indication information #3 includes information indicating one or more types of reports, indicating that the network device #2 can or does not support the indicated types of reports of other RATs other than RAT#2.

As an example and not a limitation, the type of one or more reports indicated by the indication information #3 may be at least one of the following types: radio link failure report (RLF-report), connection establishment failure report (connEstFailInfo), random access report (RACH-report), log measurement report (logmeas), secondary base station failure report (SCGfailureinfo), UE movement history information (flightPathInfo), idle state measurement report (MeasIdleReport), flight path report (flightPathInfo).

For example, the indication information #3 sent by the network device #2 indicates the RLF report, which means that the network device #2 supports RLF reports of other RAT networks other than RAT#2. After receiving the indication information #3, the terminal device determines that the network device only supports RLF reports of other RATs, and does not support other types of reports other than RLF reports of other RATs.

Form 4

The indication information #3 indicates the RAT supported by the network device #2, or in other words, the indication information #3 indicates the RAT corresponding to the report supported by the network device #2.

For example, network device #2 is a network device that adopts NR technology, and it supports LTE reports, that is, RAT#1 is LTE, then the instruction information #3 sent by the network device to the terminal device includes the LTE identifier, and the terminal device receives After indicating information #3, it is determined that the network equipment can receive the LTE report.

S320: The terminal device determines whether the network device supports the report of RAT#1.

Between S320 and S330, the steps described in FIG. 4 may also be included.

S321: If the terminal device determines that the indication information #3 indicates that the report of RAT#1 is supported, the report availability indication information is sent, and if the terminal device determines that the indication information #3 indicates that the report of RAT#1 is not supported, the report availability indication is not sent. Information, or send the report availability indication information, the report availability indication information indicates that report #1 is not available.

The available information of this report is the same as the indication information #1 in Fig. 2, and will not be repeated here.

S322: Network device #3 requests information from the terminal device according to requirements. The request information is used to indicate whether network device #3 requests to send report #1; if the result indicated by the request indication information is yes, the terminal device sends report #1, If the result indicated by the request indication information is no, report #1 is not sent.

The available information of this report is the same as the indication information #2 in Fig. 2, and will not be repeated here.

As described above, the terminal device determines whether to send the available indication information according to the received instruction information #3. In another implementation manner, the terminal device may also send the available indication information and receive before, during, or after receiving the request indication information. To the instruction information #3, after receiving the instruction information #3 sent by the network device #2, determine whether to send the report #1 to the network device #2 according to whether the network device #2 indicates to receive the report of the RAT #1.

In this application, if the terminal device does not receive the instruction information #3 sent by the network device #3 before the preset time limit, the terminal device does not send the report #1.

As an example and not limiting, the preset time period may be in the following two forms.

Form 1: The preset period is a period of time before the terminal device receives the message A.

The message A may be a message preset by the system or stipulated by the protocol for prohibiting the terminal device from sending report #1 to the network device #2. The message A may be an RRC connection reconfiguration complete message, an RRC reestablishment complete message, or a physical layer downlink control information.

Message A may also be a message used to carry indication information #3. When the terminal device determines that the indication information #3 is not included in the message A after receiving message A, the terminal device will not send a report to network device #2 #1. It can also be said that when the terminal device determines that the first message does not include the indication information #3 after receiving the message A, the terminal device considers that the network device #2 does not support the report #1, and the terminal device does not send the report #1. The starting point of the preset time period may be the time point when the terminal device searches for network device #2 (for example, the initial access signal of the target network device is searched) or the starting point of the preset time period may be the terminal device and network device # 2 The time point at which the RRC connection is established (for example, the RRC establishment complete message is received), which is not limited in this solution.

For example, message A may be an RRC reconfiguration complete message (RRCReconfigurationComplete). After receiving the RRC reconfiguration complete message, the terminal device determines that the RRC reconfiguration complete message does not include the indication information #3, then the terminal device considers the network device #2 There is no ability to receive report #1, therefore, report #1 will not be sent to the network device #2.

Form 2: The preset time period can be indicated by a timer or counter. The preset time period is a period of time from the start of the timer to the time before the timer expires or expires, or the preset time period is the counter start to the counter zero or The time interval to reach the maximum value.
