The present disclosure relates to the technical field of wireless communication but is not limited to the technical field of wireless communication, and in particular relates to a method, device, communication device and storage medium for measuring relaxation.

Background technique

In a mobile communication system, the movement of a terminal will cause channel conditions around the location of the terminal to change over time. In order to support the mobility of the terminal and obtain the current cell channel status of the terminal in a timely manner, the network will configure radio resource management (RRM, Radio Resource Management) measurement for the terminal to measure the signal quality of the serving cell and neighboring cells where the terminal is currently located. However, too much measurement also increases the power consumption of the terminal, which affects the battery life of the terminal. For this reason, a measurement relaxation mechanism is introduced to reduce the high power consumption caused by the measurement. However, in related technologies, implementing a measurement relaxation mechanism will bring a large signaling overhead.

Of course, those skilled in the art can understand that the multiple embodiments provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed independently, or combined with the methods of other embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and can also be executed alone or in combination It is then executed together with some methods in other related technologies; this is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

In order to better understand the technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the application scenarios of measurement relaxation are described:

In a scenario embodiment, a new radio interface (NR, New Radio) introduces two RRM measurement relaxation criteria for a terminal in an idle radio resource control (RRC, Radio Resource Control) state. When the terminal is in low mobility and/or non-cell edge, it is determined that the possibility of cell reselection/handover of the terminal is not high at this time, and the terminal may be allowed to relax RRM measurement to a certain extent. For example, the measurement cycle can be extended or the measurement of adjacent cells can be stopped to achieve the purpose of saving power consumption.

In a scenario embodiment, consider further research on RRM measurement relaxation under the reduced capability (RedCap) device type, introduce a higher-level measurement relaxation criterion, that is, the static criterion, and introduce RRM measurement relaxation into the RRC connection state. In one embodiment, it can be introduced into an enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB, Enhanced Mobile Broadband) device (for example, a mobile phone) of NR for use.

Here, there are at least three ways to measure relaxation criteria:

1. Non-cell edge criteria:

If the received signal strength (Srxlev) of the serving cell where the terminal is currently located is greater than the preset threshold (S _{searchThresholdP} ) and the received signal quality (Squal) is greater than the preset threshold (S _{searchThresholdQ} ), it is determined that the terminal is not at the edge of the cell. Wherein, S _{searchThresholdP} and S _{searchThresholdQ} are configured by the network.

2. Low mobility criteria;

Within a certain period of time (T _SearchDeltaP ), if the difference between the reference received signal strength (Srxlev _Ref ) and the signal strength (Srxlev) of the serving cell where the terminal is currently located is less than the preset threshold (S _SearchDeltaP ), it means that the terminal's The range of signal change is small, and it is determined that the terminal is currently in a low mobility state. Wherein, the parameters S _SearchDeltaP and T _SearchDeltaP are configured by the network.

3. Static criterion. The three principles are introduced in turn as follows:

Within a certain period of time (T _{SearchDeltaP_stationary} ), if the difference between the signal reception strength (Srxlev) of the serving cell where the terminal is currently located and the reference signal reception strength (SrxlevRef) is less than the preset threshold (S _{SearchDeltaP_stationary} ), and within this period of time , the number of times of beam switching of the terminal is less than the threshold value (N _{beam_switching} ), it is determined that the range of signal changes of the terminal is not large, and no beam switching occurs, and it is determined that the terminal is in a static state. Wherein, parameters T _{SearchDeltaP_stationary} , S _{SearchDeltaP_stationary} and N _{beam_switching} are configured by the network.

In an embodiment, for a terminal in the RRC connected state, the measurement relaxation criterion parameter in the RRC connected state may be notified through broadcast or dedicated signaling, and is specially used to perform measurement relaxation in the RRC connected state. The network usually also allocates a set of measurement relaxation criterion parameters to the terminal in the RRC disconnected state, and the measurement relaxation criterion side parameter is notified to the terminal in a broadcast message. But in fact, the measurement relaxation criterion parameter has nothing to do with the state of the terminal, that is, the measurement relaxation criterion parameter in the RRC idle state can continue to be used after the terminal enters the RRC connection state, so as to save network reconfiguration overhead.

As shown in FIG. 2, a method for measuring relaxation is provided in this embodiment, where the method is executed by a terminal, and the method includes:

Step 21, determine the indication information of using the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter in the radio resource control RRC connected state, where the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter is a parameter used to perform measurement relaxation in the RRC disconnected state;

Step 22. According to the indication information, determine whether to use the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter to perform measurement relaxation in the RRC connected state.

Here, the terminal may be, but not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a vehicle terminal, a road side unit (RSU, Road Side Unit), a smart home terminal, an industrial sensing device and/or a medical device, etc. For example, a smart home terminal may include a camera, a temperature collection device, a brightness collection device, and the like.

In one embodiment, the measurement relaxation is that of the RRM. Here, the terminal may perform measurement relaxation in the time domain. Performing measurement relaxation in the time domain may include: 1. Relaxing from the original time of no measurement to a longer period of no measurement, for example, relaxing from 1 hour of no measurement to 2. On the basis of the original measurement, increase the measurement interval, for example, the measurement interval is x times the original measurement interval K1; where x is a number greater than 1. It should be noted that the terminal needs to perform measurement relaxation based on the measurement relaxation criterion (or the parameters of the measurement relaxation criterion), where the measurement relaxation criterion includes at least one of the following: low mobility criterion, non-cell edge criterion and static criterion. Correspondingly, measuring relaxation criterion parameters includes at least one of the following: parameters of low mobility criterion, parameters of non-cell edge criterion and parameters of static criterion.

In an embodiment, the indication information of using the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter in the RRC connected state sent by the base station is received, where the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter is a parameter used to perform measurement relaxation in the RRC disconnected state; The indication information indicates: it is allowed to use the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter in the RRC connected state. It is determined to use the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter in the RRC connection state. It should be noted that in the present disclosure, the RRC unconnected state is a state in which no RRC connection has been established. For example, the RRC unconnected state includes an RRC idle state and an RRC inactive state.

In an embodiment, the indication information of using the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter in the RRC connected state sent by the base station is received, where the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter is a parameter used to perform measurement relaxation in the RRC disconnected state; The indication information indicates: it is not allowed to use the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter in the RRC connected state. Determine not to use the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter in the RRC connection state.

Here, the system message includes an information field, where the information field is used to indicate: the terminal is allowed to use the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter in the RRC connected state; or, the terminal is not allowed to use the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter in the RRC connection state. In one embodiment, in response to the information field indicating the first value, the terminal is allowed to use the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter in the RRC connected state. In one embodiment, in response to the information field indicating the second value, the terminal is not allowed to use the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter in the RRC connected state. Here, the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter may be carried in a system message.

It is determined to use the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter in the RRC connection state. Here, the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter may be carried in a system message. It should be noted that the predetermined protocol rules in this disclosure may be pre-stored in the terminal.

In one embodiment, the predetermined protocol rule includes indication information for using the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter in the RRC connected state, wherein the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter is a parameter used to perform measurement relaxation in the RRC disconnected state; the indication Information indication: the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter is not allowed to be used in the RRC connected state. Determine not to use the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter in the RRC connection state. Here, the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter may be carried in a system message.

In an embodiment, in response to determining not to use the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter in the RRC connected state, a notification message carrying a second measurement relaxation criterion parameter sent by the base station is received, wherein the second measurement relaxation criterion parameter is used for Perform measurement relaxation in RRC connected state. Here, the notification message may be an RRC message or a system message. After acquiring the second measurement relaxation criterion parameter, the terminal may perform measurement relaxation based on the second measurement relaxation criterion parameter. Here, it should be noted that the second measurement relaxation criterion parameter may be the same as the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter, and the second measurement relaxation criterion parameter may also be different from the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter. For example, the parameters of the first measurement relaxation criterion are parameters of the low mobility criterion. For another example, the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter is a parameter of the low mobility criterion, and the second measurement relaxation criterion parameter is a parameter of the stationary criterion. Here, it should be noted that when the measurement relaxation condition determined based on the measurement relaxation criterion parameter is met, the terminal will report feedback information that meets the condition; only when receiving the information issued by the network for the feedback information indicates that the measurement relaxation , the terminal will perform measurement relaxation, otherwise, it will not perform measurement relaxation.

In one embodiment, in response to determining that the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter is used in the RRC connected state and the terminal switches from the RRC unconnected state to the RRC connected state, the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter takes effect in the RRC connected state. In this way, measurement relaxation can be performed based on the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter. It should be noted that after the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter takes effect in the RRC connection state, a notification message carrying the second measurement relaxation criterion parameter sent by the base station may also be received. In an embodiment, after obtaining the second measurement relaxation parameter, measurement relaxation may be performed based on the first measurement relaxation parameter and the second measurement relaxation parameter. Here, it should be noted that the first measurement relaxation parameter is different from the second measurement relaxation parameter. Relax parameters. In another embodiment, after the second measurement relaxation parameter is acquired, the first measurement relaxation parameter is ignored and the second measurement relaxation parameter is used to perform measurement relaxation. Here, when the measurement relaxation condition determined based on one or two measurement relaxation criterion parameters (one or both of the first measurement relaxation parameter and the second measurement relaxation parameter) is met, the terminal will report feedback information that meets the condition; Only when receiving information indicating to perform measurement relaxation sent by the network for the feedback information, the terminal will perform measurement relaxation; otherwise, the terminal will not perform corresponding measurement relaxation.

In an embodiment, the terminal may use the random access message 3 or the random access message 5 to send the RRM measurement result during the establishment of the RRC connection. In this way, after switching to the RRC connected state, the base station can select a measurement relaxation parameter based on the RRM measurement result; and send the selected measurement relaxation parameter to the terminal.

In an embodiment, the second measurement relaxation criterion parameter may include multiple sets. If the x sets can be used for all terminals to perform measurement relaxation in the RRC connection state, and the y sets can only be used for predetermined terminals to perform measurement relaxation in the RRC connection state, then the x set of second Measuring relaxation criterion parameters, sending the y sets of second measurement relaxation criterion parameters by using an RRC message. For example, the second measurement relaxation criterion parameter includes a, b and c, then a and b may be sent to all terminals by using a system message, and the a and b are used when all terminals perform measurement relaxation in the RRC connected state. The RRC message may be used to send c to the first terminal and the second terminal respectively, and the c is used when the first terminal and the second terminal perform measurement relaxation in the RRC connected state.

In one embodiment, in response to the terminal switching from the RRC connected state to the RRC unconnected state, the second measurement relaxation criterion parameter is discarded or released; and the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter is obtained from a system message. The terminal performs measurement relaxation by using the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter in the RRC disconnected state.

Here, since the terminal can perform measurement relaxation in the RRC connected state by using the first measurement relaxation criterion parameter that performs measurement relaxation in the RRC disconnected state according to the indication information, in this way, there is no need to use signaling to reconfigure to perform measurement relaxation in the RRC connected state Measurement Relaxation Criteria parameter for measurement relaxation.
