- CHO refers to a handover performed by the terminal when one or more handover execution conditions are met.
- the terminal starts evaluating the execution conditions after receiving the CHO configuration and stops evaluating the execution conditions after performing a handover (including legacy handover and CHO).
- CHO applies the following criteria:
- CHO configuration includes CHO candidate cell configuration and execution conditions
- An execution condition may contain one or two trigger events (e.g. CHO events A3/A5);
- the terminal Before any CHO execution conditions are met, if the terminal receives a handover (HO) command without CHO configuration, the legacy HO process is executed regardless of any CHO configuration received previously;
- HO handover
- the terminal When performing CHO, that is, from the time the terminal starts synchronizing with the target cell, the terminal does not monitor the source cell.
- conditional event (CondEvent) A3 is: Conditional reconfiguration candidate (cell) becomes amount of offset better than PCell/PSCell (Conditional reconfiguration candidate becomes amount of offset better than PCell/PSCell).
- conditional event (CondEvent) A5 is: PCell/PSCell becomes worse than absolute threshold 1, and conditional reconfiguration candidate (cell) becomes better than another absolute threshold 2 (PCell/PSCell becomes worse than absolute threshold 1 AND Conditional reconfiguration candidate becomes better than another absolute threshold 2).
- CPAC Conditional PSCell Addition/Change
- CPAC includes Conditional PSCell Addition (CPA) and Conditional PSCell Change (CPC).
- CPA is defined as a PSCell addition that is executed by the UE when execution condition(s) is met.
- the UE starts evaluating the execution condition(s) upon receiving the CPA configuration, and stops evaluating the execution condition(s) once PSCell addition or PCell change is triggered.
- CPC is defined as a PSCell change executed by the terminal when an execution condition is met.
- the terminal starts evaluating the execution condition when receiving the CPC configuration, and stops evaluating the execution condition once a PSCell change or PCell change is triggered.
- CPC CPC within SN does not involve MN
- CPC support between SNs is initiated by MN or SN
- a Conditional PSCell Change(CPC) is defined as a PSCell change that is executed by the UE when execution condition(s)is met. The UE starts evaluating the execution condition(s)upon receiving the CPC configuration, and stops evaluating the execution condition(s)once PSCell change or PCell change is triggered.Intra-SN CPC without MN involvement, inter-SN CPC initiated either by MN or SN are supported).
- condition-triggered mobility management is introduced.
- the terminal implements condition-triggered mobility management based on the conditions configured by the network and the associated candidate cells. After the conditions are met, the terminal triggers mobility management and accesses its associated candidate cells.
- the conditions configured by the network can be specific events based on measurement results, or location-based or time-based events.
- the associated candidate cells can be candidate primary cells and primary and secondary cells, corresponding to the corresponding condition-triggered mobility management CHO and CPAC, respectively.
- R17 supports MN-initiated CHO, MN-initiated CPA/CPC, and SN-initiated CPC.
- R16/R17 does not support simultaneous configuration of CHO and CPA/CPC.
- R18 Release18 proposed to study the combination of CHO and CPC/CPA, and decided to include the target MCG and candidate SCG for CPC/CPA in CHO.
- CHO and CPA/CPC are jointly configured, and the terminal can execute CHO and its corresponding CPA/CPC at the same time.
- CHO and CPAC can be started by the same node or different nodes.
- CHO should be started by the source master node (Source MN, S-MN).
- Source MN Source MN
- S-MN source master node
- T-MN target master node
- CPC/CPA should be initiated by T-MN and the conditions of CPA/CPC should also be configured by T-MN.
- a terminal configured with CHO/CPC/CPA must release the CHO/CPC/CPA configuration when completing random access to the target PCell/PSCell. Therefore, if the network does not reconfigure and reinitialize CHO/CPC/CPA, the terminal will not have the opportunity to continue to execute CHO/CPC/CPA. This will increase the delay of handover or SCG change and increase signal overhead, especially in the case of frequent CG changes in Frequency Range 2 (FR2) scenarios.
- FR2 Frequency Range 2
- selective activation of cell groups in MR-DC is proposed in R18 mobility enhancement.
- selective activation of cell groups can be performed after the cell group (CG) is changed, and subsequent configuration can still be performed without the need for network reconfiguration or reinitialization of corresponding cell group selective activation configuration information, thereby reducing signaling overhead and interruption duration of cell group change.
- the cell group selective activation configuration information may include at least one of the following: configuration ID, activation condition (possibly ), configuration of the cell and/or cell group to be activated.
- the selective activation of the cell group can make the subsequent configuration still be executed after the cell group is changed, without the need for the network to reconfigure or reinitialize the corresponding cell group selective activation configuration. Therefore, in the selective activation of the cell group, the network device can provide the terminal with a "cell group to be activated", and the "cell group to be activated” can be activated or deactivated later without re-providing the configuration of the cell group.
- the network device may provide a pre-configured candidate target cell group or target cell to the terminal device.
- the terminal device may subsequently activate or deactivate the pre-configured candidate cell and/or cell group according to the configuration (e.g., activation message) sent by the network device or the corresponding activation event, without the need to re-provide the configuration of the cell group.
- the terminal will not delete the corresponding configuration information for the selective activation of the cell group.
- Selective activation of cell groups may also be referred to as cell group activation.
- Cell group activation enables the corresponding configuration information to be executed after the cell and/or cell group is changed, without the need for the network to reconfigure or reinitialize the corresponding cell group activation configuration information. Therefore, selective activation of cell groups can reduce signaling overhead and the interruption duration of cell group changes.
- the configuration information for cell group activation may include: configuration ID and the configuration of the target cell or the configuration of the target cell group.
- the configuration information for cell group activation may also include trigger conditions (or referred to as execution conditions, activation conditions).
- selective activation of a cell group is a mobility management process, including any mobility management process in which a cell group activation configuration is configured, the terminal activates or deactivates the corresponding cell or cell group according to signaling sent by the network side, or criteria specified in the protocol, or the terminal autonomously, or applies the corresponding cell configuration or cell group configuration or accesses the cell or cell group.
- the cell group selective activation is a mobility management process, including any mobility management process that does not delete or release the corresponding part or all of the configuration information after executing the mobility process. Not deleting or releasing the corresponding part or all of the configuration information can also be called retaining the corresponding part or all of the configuration information.
- the network side can provide the terminal with multiple "candidate cells (candidate cell groups)".
- the network side can subsequently control the terminal to change among multiple "candidate cells (candidate cell groups)" through L1 signaling (such as downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI)) or L2 signaling (such as Media Access Control Control Element (Media Access Control Control Element, MAC CE)).
- L1 signaling such as downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI)
- L2 signaling such as Media Access Control Control Element (Media Access Control Element, MAC CE)
- the working cell (cell group) is changed from “candidate cell (candidate cell group) -1" to "candidate cell (candidate cell group) -2".
- one service cell (service cell group) can correspond to one or more "candidate cells (candidate cell groups)”.
- Layer 1 of 5G is the physical layer
- Layer 2 includes MAC, Radio Link Control (RLC) and Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP)
- Layer 3 is the RRC layer.
- L1/L2 mobility in R18 includes both non-CA scenarios (PCell only) and CA scenarios (PCell and SCell). This includes the following cases:
- the target PCell/target SCell(s) is not a current serving cell (CAàCA scenario with PCell change);
- the target PCell is a current SCell.
- the target SCell is the current PCell.
- L1L2-based mobility supports the following CA scenarios:
- the measurement configuration referenced by CPA/CPC may be different, so it is necessary to first determine the measurement configuration corresponding to the execution conditions of CPA/CPC before measurement evaluation can be performed.
- CPA/CPC initiated by S-MN and S-SN its execution conditions are configured by S-MN and S-SN, so the terminal can know the measurement configuration corresponding to the corresponding conditions of CPA/CPC, that is, the measurement configuration corresponding to the current MCG and SCG of the terminal.
- CPA/CPC initiated by T-MN
- its execution conditions are determined by T-MN and sent to the terminal through the target PCell.
- the conditions of CPA/CPC configured by T-MN are determined based on the measurement configuration provided by the target PCell. Therefore, if the terminal wants to evaluate the execution conditions of CPA/CPC, it needs to obtain the measurement configuration of the target PCell.
- the target PSCell corresponding to CPAC is associated with the target PCell corresponding to the corresponding CHO. Since there are multiple candidate PCells, the measurement configurations of different target PCells are also different. Only after the terminal accesses the target PCell can it know the measurement configuration corresponding to the target PCell, so that CPAC can be performed.
- the terminal In the case where the evaluation of CHO and CPAC needs to be performed in parallel, according to the existing communication protocol, the terminal cannot obtain the measurement configuration corresponding to the CPAC condition before executing CHO, that is, it is impossible to perform CHO and CPAC at the same time.
- the method provided in the embodiment of the present application clarifies the manner in which the terminal obtains the measurement configuration corresponding to the execution condition of the conditional mobility configuration for SCG/PSCell when the conditional mobility configuration for MCG/PCell and the conditional mobility configuration for SCG/PSCell are jointly configured. For example, in the case where CHO for MCG/PCell and CPA/CPC for SCG/PSCell are configured at the same time, the manner in which the terminal obtains the measurement configuration corresponding to the execution condition of CPA/CPC is clarified.
- the mobility operation initiated for T-MN can be implemented, and the terminal can obtain the measurement configuration corresponding to the execution condition of the mobility configuration of SCG/PSCell before switching to the MCG/PCell corresponding to T-MN.
- the terminal can obtain the measurement configuration corresponding to the execution condition of CPA/CPC without waiting for the terminal to perform CHO, which enables the terminal to perform CHO and CPA/CPC at the same time.

对多无线电双连接(Multi-Radio Dual Connectivity,MR-DC)进行介绍:
MR-DC是一种泛化的演进的通用地面无线接入(Evolved-Universal Terrestrial Radio Access,E-UTRA)内(Intra-E-UTRA)双连接。一些实施例中,基于MR-DC,终端可以利用两个不同的调度提供的无线电资源,这些调度位于两个不同的下一代无线接入网(Next Generation Radio Access Network,NG-RAN)节点上,通过非理想回程连接,一个提供NR访问,另一个提供E-UTRA或NR访问。一个作为主节点(Master Node,MN)一个作为辅节点(Secondary Node,SN)。MN和SN通过网络接口连接,其中至少有MN连接到核心网络。
(1)基于演进型分组核心网(Evolved Packet Core,EPC)的MR-DC(MR-DC with EPC):
示例地,图1是本申请一个示例性实施例提供的基于EPC的MR-DC的系统架构示意图。如图1所示,演进的通用地面无线接入网络(Evolved-Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network,E-UTRAN)通过E-UTRA和NR双连接(E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity,EN-DC)支持MR-DC。其中,终端连接到一个充当MN的eNB和一个充当SN的en-gNB。eNB通过S1接口连接到EPC,通过X2接口连接到en-gNB。en-gNB也可以通过S1-U接口连接到EPC,也可以通过X2-U接口连接到其他en-gNBs。一些实施例中,长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统的EPC可包括移动性管理实体(Mobility Management Entity,MME)、服务网关(Serving GateWay,S-GW)等。
需要说明的是,图1所示的系统中各通信设备的数量仅用作示例,各通信设备的数量也可以为更多个,且连接关系也可根据实际情况作出改变,图1的示例不作为对本申请实施例提供的系统架构的限制。
(2)基于5G核心网(5G Core,5GC)的MR-DC(MR-DC with 5GC):
示例地,图2是本申请一个示例性实施例提供的基于5GC的MR-DC的系统架构示意图。如图2所示,基于5GC的MR-DC可分为以下3种情况:
A)E-UTRA和NR双连接(E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity,EN-DC):
NG-RAN支持NG-RAN E-UTRA-NR双连接,一些实施例中,也可以称为NGEN-DC。其中,终端连接到一个ng-eNB作为MN,一个gNB作为SN。ng-eNB连接到5GC,gNB通过Xn接口连接到ng-eNB。
B)NR和E-UTRA双连接(NR-E-UTRA Dual Connectivity,NE-DC):
NG-RAN支持NR-E-UTRA双连接。其中,终端连接到一个充当MN的gNB和一个充
当SN的ng-eNB。gNB连接到5GC,ng-eNB通过Xn接口连接到gNB。
C)NR和NR双连接(NR-NR Dual Connectivity,NR-DC):
NG-RAN支持NR-NR双连接。其中,终端连接到一个充当MN的gNB和另一个充当SN的gNB。主gNB通过NG接口连接到5GC,两个gNB之间通过Xn接口连接,辅gNB也可以通过NG-U接口连接到5GC。此外,NR-DC也可用于终端接入单个gNB,同时作为MN和SN,同时配置MCG和SCG。
一些实施例中,5G NR系统的5GC可包括接入和移动性管理功能(Access and Mobility Management Function,AMF)、用户面功能(User Plane Function,UPF)等。
需要说明的是,图2所示的系统中各通信设备的数量仅用作示例,各通信设备的数量也可以为更多个,且连接关系也可根据实际情况作出改变,图2的示例不作为对本申请实施例提供的系统架构的限制。
在双连接下,终端可以接入两个小区组。示例地,图3是本申请一个示例性实施例提供的双连接中的小区的示意图。如图3所示,一些实施例中,双连接中的两个小区组分别为主小区组(Master Cell Group,MCG)和辅小区组(Secondary Cell Group,SCG)。在MCG下,可能会有很多个小区(Cell),其中有一个用于发起初始接入的小区,一些实施例中,这个小区称为主小区(Primary Cell,PCell)。顾名思义,PCell是MCG里面最“主要”的小区。MCG下的PCell和MCG下的辅小区(Secondary Cell,SCell)通过载波聚合(Carrier Aggregation,CA)联合在一起。MCG中包括主小区(PCell)和辅小区(SCell)。一些实施例中,SCG中包括主辅小区(Primary Secondary Cell,PSCell)和辅小区(SCell)。因为很多信令只在PCell和PSCell上发送,为了描述方便,相关通信协议中也定义了一个概念特殊小区(Special Cell,sPCell),PCell和PSCell统称为sPCell。
需要说明的是,图3所示的双连接中的小区的数量仅用作示例,主小区组和辅小区组下的小区的数量也可以为更多个,且连接关系也可根据实际情况作出改变,图3的示例不作为对本申请实施例提供的双连接中的小区的限制。
对条件切换(Conditional Handover,CHO)进行介绍:
CHO是指当满足一个或多个切换执行条件时,终端执行的切换。一些实施例中,终端在接收到CHO配置后开始评估执行条件,并在执行切换(包括传统切换(legacy handover)和CHO)后停止评估执行条件。一些实施例中,CHO适用于以下准则:
·CHO配置包括CHO候选小区配置和执行条件;
·一个执行条件可能包含一个或两个触发事件(例如CHO事件A3/A5);
·在满足任何CHO执行条件之前,终端收到不含CHO配置的切换(Handover,HO)命令,则执行传统切换(legacy HO)过程,而不管之前收到的任何CHO配置;
·在执行CHO时,即从终端开始与目标小区同步时起,终端并不监视源小区。
示例性的,条件事件(CondEvent)A3为:条件重配置候选(小区)变得比PCell/PSCell有更好的偏移量(Conditional reconfiguration candidate becomes amount of offset better than PCell/PSCell)。
示例性的,条件事件(CondEvent)A5为:PCell/PSCell变得比绝对阈值1差,并且条件重配置候选(小区)变得比另一个绝对阈值2好(PCell/PSCell becomes worse than absolute threshold1AND Conditional reconfiguration candidate becomes better than another absolute threshold2)。
对条件主辅小区添加或改变(Conditional PSCell Addition/Change,CPAC)进行介绍:
CPAC包括条件主辅小区添加(Conditional PSCell Addition,CPA)以及条件主辅小区改变(Conditional PSCell Change,CPC)。
CPA:
一些实施例中,CPA被定义为当满足执行条件时由终端执行的PSCell添加。终端在接收到CPA配置时开始评估执行条件,并且一旦触发PSCell添加或PCell改变,终端就停止评估执行条件(A Conditional PSCell Addition(CPA)is defined as a PSCell addition that is executed by the UE when execution condition(s)is met.The UE starts evaluating the execution condition(s)upon receiving the CPA configuration,and stops evaluating the execution condition(s)once PSCell addition or PCell change is triggered)。
CPC:
一些实施例中,CPC被定义为当满足执行条件时由终端执行的PSCell改变。终端在接收CPC配置时开始评估执行条件,并且一旦触发了PSCell改变或PCell改变,就停止评估执行条件。SN内的CPC不涉及MN,SN间的CPC支持由MN或SN发起(A Conditional PSCell Change(CPC)is defined as a PSCell change that is executed by the UE when execution condition(s)is met.The UE starts evaluating the execution condition(s)upon receiving the CPC configuration,and stops evaluating the execution condition(s)once PSCell change or PCell change is triggered.Intra-SN CPC without MN involvement,inter-SN CPC initiated either by MN or SN are supported)。
对CHO和CPAC联合配置进行介绍:
在R16(Release16)/R17(Release17)中,引入了基于条件触发的移动性管理。一些实施例中,终端基于网络配置的条件以及相关联的候选小区来实现基于条件触发的移动性管理,终端在满足条件后则触发移动性管理,接入其关联的候选小区。一些实施例中,网络配置的条件可以是特定的基于测量结果的事件,或是基于位置、基于时间的事件。关联的候选小区可以为候选的主小区,主辅小区,分别对应相应的基于条件触发的移动性管理CHO和CPAC。目前R17中支持MN启动的CHO、MN启动的CPA/CPC、SN启动的CPC。
但是R16/R17不支持同时配置CHO和CPA/CPC。为了提升鲁棒性,减少对终端吞吐量的影响,R18(Release18)提出研究CHO和CPC/CPA结合的方案,决定在CHO中包括目标MCG以及用于CPC/CPA的候选SCG。CHO和CPA/CPC是联合配置的,终端可以同时执行CHO以及其相应的CPA/CPC。
在R18移动性(Mobility)的讨论中,对于CHO和CPA/CPC联合配置增强方案,CHO和CPAC可以由相同的节点或者不同的节点来启动,目前主要认为CHO应该由源主节点(Source MN,S-MN)来启动,但是对于CPA/CPC的启动节点,有很多不同的观点,主要包括:
·S-MN启动的CPA/CPC,其中执行条件由S-MN决定;
·目标主节点(Target MN,T-MN)启动的CPA/CPC,其中执行条件由T-MN决定;
·源辅节点(Source SN,S-SN)启动的CPA/CPC,其中执行条件由S-SN决定;
由于CPA/CPC对应的候选SCG需要与CHO对应的候选MCG相关联,所以主要考虑CPC/CPA应该由T-MN启动,CPA/CPC的条件也应该由T-MN配置。
对小区组(Cell Group,CG)选择性激活进行介绍:
R16的CHO和R17的CPA/CPC中,配置CHO/CPC/CPA的终端在对目标PCell/PSCell完成随机接入时必须释放CHO/CPC/CPA配置。因此,如果网络不重新配置和重新初始化CHO/CPC/CPA,终端就没有机会后续继续执行CHO/CPC/CPA。这将增加切换或者SCG改变(change)的时延并增加信号开销,特别是在频率范围2(Frequency Range 2,FR2)场景中,频繁的改变CG的情况下。
因此,在R18移动性增强中提出了MR-DC中小区组的选择性激活(selective activation of cell groups)。一些实施例中,小区组的选择性激活可以在小区组(Cell group,CG)改变后,后续的配置仍然能够执行,无需网络重新配置或者重新初始化相应的小区组选择性激活配置信息,进而可以减少信令开销和小区组改变的中断时长。
其中,小区组选择性激活配置信息可以包括以下至少之一:配置ID,激活条件(可能
的),待激活小区和/或小区组的配置。
其中,小区组的选择性激活可以使小区组改变后,后续的配置仍然能够执行,无需网络重新配置或者重新初始化相应的小区组选择性激活的配置。故,在小区组的选择性激活中,网络设备可以为终端提供“待激活的小区组”,后续可以对“待激活的小区组”进行激活或去激活,而不用再重新提供小区组的配置。
在小区组的选择性激活中,网络设备可以向终端设备提供预配置的候选的目标小区组或目标小区。后续终端设备可以根据网络设备下发的配置(例如激活消息)或是相应的激活事件将预配置的候选小区和/或小区组激活或去激活,而不需要重新提供小区组的配置。或者,在小区组选择性激活中,激活新的小区或小区组,或者应用新的小区配置或小区组配置后或者接入新的小区或小区组后,终端不会删除相应的小区组选择性激活的配置信息。
小区组的选择性激活,也可以称为小区组激活。小区组激活可以使小区和/或小区组改变后,相应的配置信息仍然能够执行,无需网络重新配置或者重新初始化相应的小区组激活的配置信息。故,小区组选择性激活可以减少信令开销和小区组改变的中断时长。小区组激活的配置信息可以包括:配置ID以及目标小区的配置或目标小区组的配置。可选的,小区组激活的配置信息还可以包括触发条件(或者称为执行条件、激活条件)。
一些实施例中,小区组选择性激活是一种移动性管理过程,包括任意一种通过配置小区组激活配置,终端根据网络侧发送的信令,或协议规定的准则,或终端自主等方式激活或去激活相应的小区或小区组,或者应用相应的小区配置或小区组配置后或者接入小区或小区组的移动性管理过程。
一些实施例中,小区组选择性激活是一种移动性管理过程,包括任意一种在执行移动性过程后,不删除或释放相应的部分或全部配置信息的移动性管理过程。其中不删除或释放相应的部分或全部配置信息也可以叫做保留相应的部分或全部配置信息。
对层1或层2触发的移动性(L1/L2-Triggered Mobility,LTM)进行介绍:
在5G系统中,网络侧可以给终端提供多个“候选小区(候选小区组)”。一些实施例中,网络侧后续可以通过L1信令(例如下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI))或L2信令(例如媒体接入控制控制单元(Media Access Control Control Element,MAC CE)),控制终端在多个“候选小区(候选小区组)”进行变更。例如,将工作的小区(小区组)从“候选小区(候选小区组)-1”变更为“候选小区(候选小区组)-2”。其中,1个服务小区(服务小区组)可以对应1个或多个“候选小区(候选小区组)”。
一些实施例中,5G的第1层是物理层,第2层包括MAC、无线链路控制(Radio Link Control,RLC)和分组数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP),第3层是RRC层。
针对LTM支持的场景:
R18中L1/L2移动性包括非CA场景(仅PCell)和CA场景(PCell和SCell)。这包括以下情况(Rel-18 L1/L2mobility includes both non-CA(PCell only)and CA scenarios(PCell and SCell).This includes the following cases):
a)目标PCell/目标SCell不是当前服务小区(PCell变化的CA场景)(the target PCell/target SCell(s)is not a current serving cell(CAàCA scenario with PCell change));
b)目标PCell是当前SCell(the target PCell is a current SCell);
c)目标SCell是当前PCell(the target SCell is the current PCell)。
基于L1L2的移动性支持以下CA场景:
a)PCell改变而不改变SCell(PCell change without SCell change);
b)PCell改变以及SCell改变(PCell change with SCell change);
c)基于L1/L2的移动性中支持NR-DC场景,在至少PSCell改变的情况下不涉及MN,即SN内(Support NR-DC scenario in L1L2 based mobility,at least for the PSCell change without
MN involvement case,i.e.intra-SN)。
对于不同的节点配置的CPA/CPC,CPA/CPC参考的测量配置可能不同,因此首先需要确定CPA/CPC的执行条件对应的测量配置才能进行测量评估。对于S-MN和S-SN启动的CPA/CPC,其执行条件由S-MN和S-SN配置,因此终端可以得知CPA/CPC的相应的条件对应的测量配置,即为终端当前的MCG和SCG对应的测量配置。
但是对于T-MN启动的CPA/CPC,其执行条件由T-MN决定,通过目标PCell发送给终端。T-MN配置的CPA/CPC的条件是基于目标PCell提供的测量配置确定的。因此,终端如果要评估CPA/CPC的执行条件,需要获取目标PCell的测量配置。在CHO和CPAC联合配置时,CPAC对应的目标PSCell与相应的CHO对应的目标PCell是关联的。由于存在多个候选PCell,所以不同的目标PCell的测量配置也是不同的。只有终端接入了目标PCell后才能够知道目标PCell对应的测量配置,从而才能够进行CPAC。在需要并行的执行CHO和CPAC的评估的情况下,根据现有的通信协议,终端无法在执行CHO之前获取CPAC条件对应测量配置,也即是无法实现同时进行CHO和CPAC。
本申请实施例提供的方法,明确了针对用于MCG/PCell的基于条件的移动性配置,和用于SCG/PSCell的基于条件的移动性配置在联合配置时,终端获取用于SCG/PSCell的基于条件的移动性配置的执行条件对应的测量配置的方式。例如,针对同时配置用于MCG/PCell的CHO和用于SCG/PSCell的CPA/CPC的情况,明确了终端获取CPA/CPC的执行条件对应的测量配置的方式。由于SCG/PSCell的移动性配置与候选SCG/PSCell对应的候选MCG/PCell相关联,可实现对于T-MN启动的移动性操作,终端能够在切换至T-MN对应的MCG/PCell前获取SCG/PSCell的移动性配置的执行条件对应的测量配置。例如,无需等待终端进行CHO,终端即可获取CPA/CPC的执行条件对应的测量配置,可实现终端同时进行CHO和CPA/CPC。本申请在该方法下还提出了一种配置的存储方法,通过对不同的T-MN维护不同的终端测量变量(第一变量),以及SCG/PSCell的移动性配置的条件重配变量(第二变量),对于不同的T-MN配置的SCG/PSCell的移动性配置,通过不同的终端存储的变量来对应存储SCG/PSCell的移动性配置和对应的测量配置,从而实现指示SCG/PSCell的移动性配置的执行条件和相应的测量配置的对应关系。例如,指示CPAC条件重配的执行条件和相应的测量配置的对应关系。
本申请实施例提供的方法,还提出了一种通过网络间协商来解决终端无法实现同时进行MCG/PCell的移动性操作和SCG/PSCell的移动性操作(例如无法同时进行CHO和CPAC)的方法,通过网络间的协商可实现SCG/PSCell的移动性操作的执行条件对应的测量标识能够与终端当前的测量配置相对应,从而使终端能够在无需等待进行MCG/PCell的移动性操作的情况下,获取SCG/PSCell的移动性操作的测量配置。例如无需等待进行CHO的情况下,获取到CPAC的测量配置,从而可实现终端同时进行CHO和CPA/CPC。

测量配置,以及一个单独的Var变量用于存储此候选MCG/PCell对应的CPA/CPC配置。其中,本发明点中的CHO也可以为MCG选择性激活、CPA/CPC也可以为SCG选择性激活。
以下示出了本申请一个实施例提供的基于条件的移动性配置方法:
1、UE接收网络侧发送的基于条件的移动性配置,所述基于条件的移动性配置中包含用于MCG/PCell移动性的配置和用于SCG/PSCell的移动性的配置。此配置信息中用于SCG的移动性的配置与相应的候选MCG相关联。需要说明的是,下文中的MCG可指代MCG/PCell,下文中的SCG可指代SCG/PSCell。
1.1、其中,所述MCG的移动性配置包括CHO的配置,MCG选择性激活的配置、L1/L2触发的MCG移动性(LTM-MCG)中的一种或多种。
1.2、其中,所述SCG的移动性配置包括CPA的配置,CPC的配置,SCG选择性激活的配置、L1/L2触发的SCG移动性(LTM-SCG)中的一种或多种。

示例性的,UE接收到基于条件的移动性配置信息,所述基于条件的移动性配置信息中包含的CHO的配置信息以及关联的一个或多个CPA/CPC的配置信息。其中,CHO的配置信息中包含了CHO的执行条件和候选MCG对应的配置,此候选MCG对应的配置中包含了一个或多个CPC/CPA的配置以及后续MCG相应的配置信息。后续MCG是指UE在切换至该候选MCG后,之后再切换时可能切换到的MCG。
2、基于1,当UE收到了网络侧发送的包含用于MCG移动性的配置和用于SCG的移动性的配置的联合移动性配置,UE存储收到的移动性配置信息。
3、基于2,UE存储候选MCG对应的测量配置,每个候选MCG对应一个单独的存储测量配置的第一变量(此变量为UE变量也可以称为Var变量),用于存储网络侧发送给UE的候选MCG对应的测量配置信息。其中第一变量可以为测量配置变量(VarMeasConfig)。
3.1、基于UE当前服务MCG对应的测量配置(通过存储服务MCG测量配置的第一变量存储的当前的累积配置),根据候选MCG对应的配置中包含的测量配置信息(增量配置),生成候选MCG对应的测量配置(此候选MCG对应的完整的测量配置)。
示例性的:
3.1.1、其中,候选MCG对应的配置中包含测量配置信息(增量配置),可以包括配置添加修改表、配置移除表、测量量配置、测量配置(s-MeasureConfig)(例如测量启动门限)、测量间隙(Gap)配置等信息中的一种和多种。

其中,根据当前服务MCG的测量配置和候选MCG对应的配置中包含的增量测量配置信息生成此候选MCG对应的测量配置,具体步骤可以为:UE根据候选MCG的增量测量配置中包含的配置添加修改表将当前服务MCG相应的配置进行添加或修改获取候选MCG对应的配置;UE根据候选MCG的增量测量配置中包含的配置移除表将当前服务MCG相应的配置移除获取候选MCG对应的配置;利用增量配置信息中的(如果有的话)测量量配置、s-MeasureConfig(测量启动门限)、测量Gap配置更新当前服务MCG相应的配置,得到此候选MCG对应的配置,并通过此候选MCG相应的第一变量进行存储。
3.2、基于存储候选MCG对应的配置中包含的测量配置信息(增量配置),通过此候选MCG对应的第一变量进行存储。
4、基于2,UE存储用于SCG的移动性的配置,每个候选MCG对应一个单独的存储移动性配置的第二变量(此变量为UE变量也可以称为Var变量),此变量用于存储所述候选MCG对应的一个或多个候选SCG的相应的移动性配置。
其中,第二变量可以为条件重配变量(VarConditionalReconfig)。
其中,第二变量中包含用于表示移动性配置的字段条件重配表(condReconfigList),此字段通过条件重配添加修改表(CondReconfigToAddModList)表示。
4.1、示例性的,对于联合的移动性配置,如果候选MCG的移动性配置中包含的候选MCG对应的配置中包含候选MCG关联的一个或多个候选SCG的移动性配置。则响应于UE接收到此联合的移动性配置,UE读取候选MCG的移动性配置中的候选MCG对应的配置,利用此候选MCG对应的第二变量存储其中包含的一个或多个的候选SCG的移动性配置。例如,联合移动性配置为CHO+CPC,每个CHO的候选MCG对应一个第二变量,通过第二变量存储此配置了CHO的候选MCG对应的一个或多个(全部)的CPC配置。
5、基于上述1-4,对于基于条件触发的SCG移动性(包括:CPA/CPC/SCG选择性激活),在进行SCG移动性的执行条件的评估的过程中,UE基于此SCG的移动性配置关联的候选MCG对应的第一变量中存储的测量配置进行测量,评估此执行条件对应的事件是否满足。
示例性的,在进行CPAC事件评估时,UE根据此CPAC关联的候选MCG对应第一变量中存储的测量配置信息进行测量,并评估CPAC事件是否满足。
5.1、对于3.1中所述的第一变量的生成方法,UE可以只基于候选MCG对应的第一变量中存储的测量配置进行测量,评估此候选MCG关联的候选SCG的移动性配置对应的执行条件对应的事件是否满足。
5.2、对于3.2中所述的第一变量的生成方法,UE可以基于候选MCG对应的第一变量中存储的测量配置和当前服务MCG对应的测量配置,得到此候选MCG对应的测量配置进行测量,评估此候选MCG关联的候选SCG的移动性配置对应的执行条件对应的事件是否满足。
6、基于上述1-4,对于联合配置为CHO和CPAC的联合配置。
6.1、当UE执行CHO和CPAC后,UE删除全部的存储条件重配配置的Var变量(第二变量)中的全部条目(也就是清空每个候选MCG对应的第二变量,和服务MCG对应的第二变量)。将接入的候选MCG对应的存储测量配置的Var变量更新为服务MCG的第一变量(基于3.1),或是基于接入的候选MCG对应的存储测量配置的第一变量在服务MCG的第一变量的基础上更新为新接入的服务MCG的第一变量(基于3.2)。清空其他候选MCG对应的存储测量配置的Var变量(第一变量)。
6.2、对于CHO和CPAC的联合配置,如果UE只执行了CHO未执行CPAC,则可以按照6.1中的步骤进行。
6.3、对于CHO和CPAC的联合配置,如果UE只执行了CHO未执行CPAC,UE删除其他的候选MCG对应的存储条件重配配置的Var变量(第二变量)中的全部条目(也就是清空其他候选MCG对应的第二变量,和服务MCG对应的第二变量)。将接入的候选MCG对应的第二变量更新为服务MCG的第二变量。
需要说明的是,上述实施例中的每段内容(由数字x标识)均可实现为一个单独的实施例,且每段内容下的内容(由数字x.y或x.y.z标识)可实现为其对应的实施例中的一种可能的实现方式。
针对本申请的发明点2的介绍:
T-MN将CPAC执行条件相关的测量配置发送给S-MN,S-MN可以直接将相应的测量配置转发给UE。S-MN可以基于此测量配置信息协调各个T-MN的测量配置,然后更新UE的测量配置并发送CHO+CPAC的测量配置给UE。如果CPAC执行条件对应的测量标识被占用,S-MN应该通知T-MN,请求T-MN更新CPAC的执行条件。S-MN发送可用的测量标识给T-MN从而避免T-MN配置不可用的执行条件和测量配置。
以下示出了本申请一个实施例提供的CPAC的配置方法:
1、源MN(S-MN)发送请求消息(用于进行移动性配置请求)给目标MN(T-MN),请求为相关UE的接入做准备,预留相应的资源。
2、T-MN基于源MN的请求消息或是自主的发起一个或多个CPAC的配置请求,确定CPAC的执行条件,以及CPAC的执行条件对应的测量配置。
3、T-MN将执行条件对应的测量配置信息以及CPAC的执行条件,候选MCG的配置信息和候选SCG的配置信息发送给S-MN,例如通过应答消息发送给S-MN,这些信息可以包含于移动性配置信息中。
4、S-MN基于4中所述的信息更新UE的测量配置,并将T-MN发送给S-MN的移动性配置信息转发给UE。
5、在3中,如果S-MN发现T-MN发送的CPAC执行条件对应的测量标识是不可用的(例如,此测量标识已经被配置给UE,且相应的配置信息无法更新,如关联了其他候选小区对应的移动性配置),S-MN应该通知T-MN,请求T-MN更新CPAC的执行条件,例如更新执行条件对应的测量标识。其中测量标识是否可用可以基于S-MN的实现算法确定。
6、基于5,S-MN在通知消息中可以包含可用的测量标识给T-MN,从而避免T-MN配置的CPAC执行条件关联到不可用的测量标识。
需要说明的是,上述实施例中的每段内容(由数字x标识)均可实现为一个单独的实施例,且每段内容下的内容可实现为其对应的实施例中的一种可能的实现方式。
需要说明的是,本申请中的上述各实施例在不矛盾的情况下,可以与其它实施例、其它实施例中的步骤、其它实施例的步骤中的具体实现方式互相组合。并且本申请实施例提供的方法步骤的先后顺序可以进行适当调整,步骤也可以根据情况进行相应增减,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本申请揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化的方法,都应涵盖在本申请的保护范围之内,因此不再赘述。
