为便于理解本申请实施例,下面先对本申请实施例中的部分用语进行介绍。
(1)RRC连接态(或,也可以简称为连接态。在本文中,“连接态”和“RRC连接态”,是同一概念,两种称呼可以互换),终端设备与网络建立了RRC连接,可以进行数据传输。
(2)主小区(PCell),是终端设备进行初始连接建立的小区,或进行RRC连接重建的小区,或是在切换过程中指定的主小区,PCell负责与终端设备之间的RRC通信。
(3)多无线双连接(multi-radio dual connectivity,MR-DC),是指一个终端设备同时使用两个节点(或基站)提供的资源,即终端设备同时和两个节点进行连接。其中一个节点(或基站)作为主节点(master node,MN),而另一个(或基站)作为辅节点(secondary node,SN)。MN与SN之间通过网络接口相连接。
(4)辅小区组(SCG),处于MR-DC模式下工作的终端设备会同时和两个节点(即MN和SN)进行连接,其中终端设备在SN下的各个服务小区被称为SCG。
(6)主辅小区(PSCell),是SCG内的用于终端设备发起初始随机接入的小区。
(7)无线链路监测(RLM),是指终端设备在RRC连接态下对小区级无线链路的质量进行监测,包括对主小区的激活带宽部分的无线链路质量监测,以及在配置了辅小区组SCG时,对主辅小区的激活带宽部分的无线链路质量监测。RLM的目的是在当前服务小区(serving cell)质量不合适时更换小区。基本机制是网络给终端设备配置用于RLM的参考信号(即监测资源),终端设备持续地监测这些RLM资源并根据一定规则判断是否出现问题,其中,用于RLM的参考信号可以为同步/物理广播信道块(synchronization/physical broadcast channel block,SSB)和/或信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information-reference signal,CSI-RS)等。
RLM主要涉及物理层和RRC层的操作,其基本的机制描述如下:
物理层操作:网络设备通过RLM配置信元(radio link monitoring Config IE)给终端设备配置一组用于RLM的参考信号(即SSB和/或CSI-RS),物理层根据规定的评估周期持续地对这些用于RLM的监测资源进行测量评估。当所有用于RLM的监测资源的质量均低于给定阈值Qout时,物理层向RRC层发送一个失步指示(out-of-sync indication);当存在有某个用于RLM的监测资源的质量高于给定阈值Qin时,物理层向RRC层发送一个同步指示(in-sync indication)。
RRC层操作:RRC层在接收到给定数量阈值N310个连续的失步指示时认为无线链路出现问题,启动T310定时器。在T310定时器运行期间,如果RRC层接收到给定数量阈 值N311个连续的同步指示,则认为无线链路已恢复,停止T310定时器。如果T310定时器超时,则宣告发生无线链路失败(radio link failure,RLF)。
(8)波束失败检测(BFD),是指终端设备在RRC连接态下对波束的质量进行监测。BFD的目的是在波束质量不合适时进行波束恢复,更换波束。其基本机制是网络设备给终端设备配置用于BFD的参考信号(即监测资源),终端设备持续地监测这些用于BFD的监测资源并根据一定规则判断是否出现问题,其中,用于BFD的监测资源的类型可以是SSB资源和/或CSI-RS资源。
BFD主要涉及物理层和MAC层的操作,基本的机制描述如下:
物理层操作:网络通过RLM配置信元(radio link monitoring Config IE)给终端设备配置一组用于BFD的参考信号(即SSB和/或CSI-RS),物理层根据规定的评估周期持续地对这些BFD资源进行测量评估。当所有BFD资源的质量均低于给定阈值Qout时,物理层向MAC层发送一个波束失败实例(beam failure instance,BFI)指示。
MAC层操作:MAC层在接收到BFI指示时认为波束出现问题,启动或重启BFD定时器(BFD Timer),并累计已收到的BFI个数。如果累计的BFI个数大于或等于给定的数量阈值BFI最大值(BFI Max Count),则触发波束失败恢复(Beam Failure Recovery,BFR)过程。如果BFD定时器(BFD Timer)超时,则将累计的BFI个数清零。
(9)“至少一个”是指一个或者多个,“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”,描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B的情况,其中A,B可以是单数或者复数。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。“以下至少一项(个)”或其类似表达,是指的这些项中的任意组合,包括单项(个)或复数项(个)的任意组合。例如,a,b,或c中的至少一项(个),可以表示:a,b,c,a-b,a-c,b-c,或a-b-c,其中a,b,c可以是单个,也可以是多个。
以及,除非有相反的说明,本申请实施例提及“第一”、“第二”等序数词是用于对多个对象进行区分,不用于限定多个对象的顺序、时序、优先级或者重要程度。
目前终端设备对用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量(如RLM和/或BFD)过程是始终在周期性进行的,网络设备给终端设备分配用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量的监测资源,终端设备需要按照规定的监测周期持续地对这些监测资源进行测量,根据监测资源的测量结果判断是否发生问题。为了保证终端设备的通信性能,RLM和BFD的测量周期设置的相对较短,即当网络设备给终端设备配置RLM或BFD的监测资源之后,终端设备需要比较频繁地对这些资源进行测量以评估链路或波束质量,而这种较为频繁的测量操作导致终端设备的功耗较高。此外,对于高频场景,通常网络设备会给终端设备配置更多用于RLM或BFD测量的监测资源,即除了上述测量频繁的问题之外,终端设备可能还会面临需要监测更多的资源的问题,这会进一步地增加终端设备功耗。
为解决上述问题,提供本申请实施例的技术方案。在本申请实施例中,终端设备可以确定是否满足触发条件,如果满足该触发条件,则表明终端设备不进行频繁测量也可以保证终端设备基本的通信性能,例如,在终端设备的通信条件或环境较为稳定的场景下,通信信道质量的波动较小,那么终端设备相邻若干次监测RLM和BFD资源得到的测量结果可能会比较相似,这种情况下,终端设备实际就不需要非常频繁地对RLM和BFD资源进行测量;又例如在终端设备当前的业务要求不高的场景下,终端设备对通信质量的要求也 相对更低,终端设备也不需要非常频繁地对RLM和BFD资源进行测量。如果在这些情况下,仍按照规定都需要按照规定的周期对网络配置的所有RLM和/或BFD资源进行测量,相当于是进行了不必要的测量过程,耗电较大。因此对于这些情况,终端设备可以放松(或减少)对RLM或BFD的测量,以达到节省功耗的目的。
下面结合附图介绍本申请实施例提供的方法。
基于图1所示的网络架构,本申请实施例提供一种测量方法。请参见图2,为该方法的流程图。该方法在终端设备侧,可以由终端设备或用于终端设备的部件(如芯片、电路等)执行;在网络侧,可以由网络设备或用于网络设备的部件(如芯片、电路等)执行。为便于说明,下面以终端设备和网络设备执行该方法为例进行说明。
如图2所示,该方法包括以下步骤:
步骤201,终端设备按照第一测量要求进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量。其中,用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量可以包括RLM和/或BFD。
第一测量要求可以由网络设备配置给终端设备,即网络设备向终端设备发送第一测量要求,相应的,终端设备接收网络设备发送的第一测量要求;或者,第一测量要求可以由终端设备自行确定,又或者,第一测量要求也可以通过协议规定等。
示例的,第一测量要求可以为标准中定义的测量要求,例如,可以为按照一定的测量周期对网络设备配置的所有监测资源进行测量,该第一测量要求也可以是其它测量要求,此处不作具体限定。
步骤202,若满足触发条件,则终端设备按照第二测量要求进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量。其中,第二测量要求是基于第一测量要求放松得到的。
此处,触发条件可以包括以下内容的任一项或多项:
第一项,接收到网络设备发送的第一指示信息,第一指示信息用于指示按照第二测量要求进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量。
通过第一项,网络设备可以采用显示指示的方式,实现指示终端设备放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量。
第二项,当前业务的服务质量QoS参数满足QoS参数对应的阈值条件。
该阈值条件中的各个阈值可以由网络设备配置给终端设备,或者,可以由终端设备自行确定。
其中,当前业务的QoS参数可以包括一种或多种参数。
作为一种实现方式,当前业务的QoS参数包括一种参数,当该一种参数满足给定阈值条件,则终端设备判断当前业务的QoS要求较低,可以放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量。
在一个示例中,该一种参数为包时延要求(packet delay budget)参数,假设包时延要求的阈值为TH1,若终端设备当前业务的包时延要求参数大于或等于TH1,则认为终端设备业务的QoS要求较低。
在另一个示例中,该一种参数为包错误率要求参数,假设包错误率要求(packet error rate)的阈值为TH2,若UE业务的包错误率要求参数大于或等于TH2,则认为终端设备业务的QoS要求较低。
作为另一种实现方式,当前业务的QoS参数包括多种参数,当该多种参数均满足各自对应的给定阈值条件,则终端设备判断当前业务的QoS要求较低,可以放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量。当该多种参数中任一种参数不满足自身对应的给定阈值条件,则终端设备 判断当前业务的QoS要求较高,不允许放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量。
在一个示例中,该多种参数为包时延要求(packet delay budget)参数和包错误率要求参数,假设包时延要求的阈值为TH1,包错误率要求(packet error rate)的阈值为TH2。
若终端设备当前业务的包时延要求参数大于或等于TH1、且包错误率要求参数大于或等于TH2,则认为终端设备业务的QoS要求较低。
若终端设备当前业务的包时延要求参数大于或等于TH1、且包错误率要求参数小于TH2,则认为终端设备业务的QoS要求较高。
若终端设备当前业务的包时延要求参数小于TH1、且包错误率要求参数大于或等于TH2,则认为终端设备业务的QoS要求较高。
若终端设备当前业务的包时延要求参数小于TH1、且包错误率要求参数小于TH2,则认为终端设备业务的QoS要求较高。
通过第二项,终端设备可以根据当前业务的服务质量QoS参数大小,判断是否可以放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量。
第三项,当前已建立的数据无线承载(data radio bearer,DRB)包括预设类型的DRB。
一般而言,如果网络设备与终端设备之间需要传输业务,会按照业务的QoS要求来建立DRB,不同QoS要求对应的DRB所配置的参数也不同,可以根据当前建立了哪些类型的DRB来确定当前业务的QoS要求。如果终端设备当前建立特定的某个/某些DRB,则认为终端设备判断当前业务的QoS要求较高,不允许放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量;否则,认为终端设备判断当前业务的QoS要求较低,可以放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量。
通过第三项,可以隐式的通过DRB的建立情况,判断是否可以放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量。
上述第一项、第二项以及第三项可以一起使用,上述三项中的任一项或多项也可以与其它触发条件一起使用,当存在多个触发条件时,判断是否可以放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量的方式可以有多种,一种方式为,如果多个放松准则均满足,则可以放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量;否则,如果存在放松准则不满足,则不允许放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量。另一种方式为,上述第一项(即网络设备指示的方式)的优先级高于其它触发条件,即如果网络指示允许放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量,则终端设备可以放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量;如果网络指示不允许放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量,则终端设备不允许对RLM和/或BFD的测量。
在上述第一项中,第一指示信息可以为网络设备生成,并向终端设备发送的。作为一种实现方式,网络设备可以在确定满足以下三个条件中的任一条件时,生成第一指示信息:
条件一:网络设备根据终端设备的移动性状态信息确定终端设备为低移动性和/或根据终端设备的移动速度信息确定终端设备的移动速度小于或等于第一速度阈值。
其中,移动性状态信息用于表示终端设备更换服务小区的频度。例如,当终端设备在设定时长内更换服务小区的次数大于或等于预设的第一次数阈值,则终端设备的移动性状态信息为高移动性。当终端设备在设定时长内更换服务小区的次数小于预设的第一次数阈值且大于预设的第二次数阈值,则终端设备的移动性状态信息为中移动性。当终端设备在设定时长内更换服务小区的次数小于或等于预设的第二次数阈值,则终端设备的移动性状态信息为低移动性。终端设备的移动速度信息用于表示终端设备的移动速度。
当满足上述条件一时,说明终端设备可能处于静止状态,或者移动速度较慢,或者只 在某个范围内进行活动,其通信信道质量的波动较小,终端设备的通信条件或环境较为稳定,可以放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量,不会影响到终端设备的基本通信性能,从而可降低终端的功耗。
条件二:当前业务的服务质量QoS参数满足QoS参数对应的阈值条件。
当网络设备确定的满足条件二,确定可以允许终端设备放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量,然后向终端设备发送第一指示信息。对于当前业务的服务质量QoS参数满足QoS参数对应的阈值条件的具体实现方式可以参见上述针对第二项的相关描述,此处不再赘述。
条件三:当前已建立的数据DRB包括预设类型的DRB。
网络设备在确定满足条件三时,确定可以允许终端设备放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量,然后向终端设备发送第一指示信息。对于当前已建立的数据无线承载DRB包括预设类型的DRB的具体实现方式可以参见上述针对第三项的相关描述,此处不再赘述。
本申请实施例中,可以通过网络设备显示指示的方式,指示终端设备放松对用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量,或者,终端设备可以隐式的通过当前业务的QoS参数或DRB的建立情况,判断是否可以放松对用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量。
上述步骤202中的触发条件并不限于包括上述三项中的任一项或多项的内容,也可以为包括其它可触发放松对RLM和/或BFD测量的内容。
在其它一些实施例中,上述触发条件也可以事件触发条件,例如,网络设备可以通过在配置消息中指示相应的事件,终端设备在确定满足这些事件时,触发放松对用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量。
需要说明的是,上述触发条件可以看作是放松准则,即允许UE放松RLM和/或BFD测量的判断机制,终端设备在满足该放松准则时才考虑放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量。而终端设备按照第二测量要求进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量可以看作是具体的放松测量方式,即终端设备放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量的具体行为,也就是如何放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量。应理解,本申请提供的放松准则和本申请提供的放松测量方式可以单独使用,也可以结合使用。
所谓放松准则和放松测量方式可以单独使用,可以分为两种情况描述:一种情况为,满足本申请实施例中的放松准则,即满足包括上述三项内容中的任一项或多项的触发条件,就可以触发放松测量方式,即触发终端设备按照第二测量要求进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量。另一种情况为,满足包括其它内容的放松准则,即满足包括其它可触发放松对RLM和/或BFD测量的内容的触发条件,也可以触发放松测量方式,即触发终端设备按照第二测量要求进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量。其中,放松测量方式可以为对更少的监测资源进行测量,或者,可以为采用更大的测量周期对网络设备配置的所有监测资源进行测量,或者,也可以为其它的放松测量方式,此处不作限定。
所谓放松准则和放松测量方式可以结合使用,即满足本申请实施例的放松准则,可以触发本申请实施例中的放松测量方式。也就是说,若满足包括上述三项内容中的任一项或多项的触发条件,就可以触发终端设备对更少的监测资源进行RLM和/或BFD测量,或者,可以为采用更大的测量周期对网络设备配置的所有监测资源进行RLM和/或BFD测量,这样可以实现放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量。
本申请实施例中,第二测量要求可以由网络设备配置给终端设备,即网络设备向终端 设备发送第二测量要求,相应的,终端设备接收网络设备发送的第二测量要求;或者,第二测量要求可以由终端设备自行确定,又或者,第二测量要求也可以通过协议规定等。
在本申请实施例中,终端设备可以确定是否满足触发条件,如果满足触发条件,则表明终端设备的通信条件或网络环境较为稳定,或者,对当前通信质量要求较低等,在这种情况下如果频繁地进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量,相当于是不必要的测量过程,耗电较大。因此对于这些情况,终端设备可以放松对用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量,从而可以节省终端设备的功耗。
本申请实施例对于第二测量要求是基于第一测量要求放松得到的具体实现方式不做限定。
作为一个示例,第二测量要求对应的监测资源的数量小于第一测量要求对应的监测资源的数量。通过减少终端设备需要测量的监测资源的数量,实现放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量,可以节省终端设备的功耗。
作为另一个示例,第二测量要求对应的测量周期大于第一测量要求对应的测量周期,即终端设备可以采用延长测量周期的方式来实现放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量,本申请实施例中的延长测量周期可以是相对于目前现有方案中RLM和/或BFD测量所规定的测量周期来说的,通过延长测量周期可以减少整个测量过程的测量次数,从而可以节省终端设备的功耗。
下面以通过减少监测资源的数量实现放松对用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量为例,对上述步骤202中按照第二测量要求进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量的几种可能的实现方式进行说明。
作为一种可能的实现方式,终端设备可以对第一测量要求对应的监测资源中满足预设条件的资源进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量。
其中,预设条件包括以下内容中的任一项:
质量高于第一质量阈值的资源;
质量最高的N个资源,N为正整数;
质量高于第一质量阈值的最多N个资源;
质量低于第一质量阈值的资源;
质量最低的N个资源;
质量低于第一质量阈值的最多N个资源。
该预设条件中的第一质量阈值和/或N的取值可以为网络设备配置给终端设备,即网络设备向终端设备发送第一质量阈值和/或数量阈值N,相应的,终端可以从网络设备接收第一质量阈值和/或N的取值,并根据第一质量阈值和/或N确定预设条件,而预设条件用于从第一测量要求对应的监测资源中确定出进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量的资源。
通过该方式,按照从第一测量要求对应的监测资源中选择出满足预设条件的资源,可以实现按照第二测量要求的测量过程相对于按照第一测量要求的测量过程来说,监测资源的数量有所减少的方式,从而可节省终端设备的功耗。
作为另一种可能的实现方式,网络设备可以为终端设备配置选择部分监测资源的数量,或者,终端自行决定选择部分监测资源的数量。
示例的,网络设备可以将第一测量要求对应的监测资源分组,例如分为M组资源,并 在给终端设备配置监测资源时将分组信息发送给终端设备。该分组信息可以包括M组资源所对应的M组信息。
终端设备从第一测量要求对应的监测资源中选择出部分监测资源的方式具体方式可以有多种,包括但不限于以下几种:
方式一,网络设备可以为终端设备配置可以从每组资源中选择的监测资源的数量,这种方式中,网络设备可以向终端设备发送每组选择监测资源的数量K的取值,网络设备也可以为终端设备指定从每组中选择不同数量的监测资源,这种情况下,网络设备向终端设备发送每组资源分别对应的指定数量。该K的取值或者每组资源分别对应的指定数量,可以与分组信息一起发送,也可以是分开单独发送。相应的,终端设备可以从网络设备接收K的取值或M组资源中每组资源对应的指定数量,并根据该M组信息、K的取值或每组分别对应的指定数量确定第一选择方式,第一选择方式用于从第一测量要求对应的监测资源中选择出进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量的资源。
方式二,终端设备可以从每组中选择质量最好/最差的若干个测量资源。
方式三,终端设备可以从每组中选择质量高于或低于给定阈值的若干个测量资源。
结合上述三种方式,作为一个示例,终端设备可以按照第一选择方式从该M组资源中确定出部分监测资源,然后,终端设备对确定出的部分监测资源进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量的资源。
其中,第一选择方式包括以下内容中的任一项:
从每组资源选择K个资源,K为正整数;
从每组资源选择该组资源指定数量的资源,每组指定数量不同;
从每组资源选择质量最高的L个资源,L为正整数;
从每组资源选择质量最高的该组指定数量的资源,每组指定数量不同;
从每组资源选择质量高于第二质量阈值的资源;
从每组资源选择质量最低的L个资源,L为正整数;
从每组资源选择质量最低的该组指定数量的资源,每组指定数量不同;
从每组资源选择质量低于第二质量阈值的资源。
通过该实现方式,按照第一选择方式从第一测量要求对应的监测资源中选择出部分监测资源,可以实现按照第二测量要求的测量过程相对于按照第一测量要求的测量过程来说,监测资源的数量有所减少的方式,从而可节省终端设备的功耗。
本申请实施例中,第一测量要求对应的监测资源可以包括CSI-RS资源和/或SSB资源。
作为又一种可能的实现方式,终端设备可以根据监测资源的类型,从第一测量要求对应的监测资源中确定出部分监测资源。以下提供几种确定出部分监测资源的方式:
方式一,终端设备可以选择第一测量要求对应的监测资源中的SSB资源进行测量,不对CSI-RS资源进行测量。
方式二,终端设备可以选择第一测量要求对应的监测资源中的CSI-RS资源进行测量,不对SSB资源进行测量。
方式三,终端设备可以优先放松对第一测量要求对应的监测资源中的CSI-RS资源的测量,在网络设备没有给终端设备配置CSI-RS资源时,或者当满足额外条件时,终端设备再考虑放松对第一测量要求对应的监测资源中的SSB资源的测量,该额外条件可以为终 端设备在放松测量(即按照第二测量要求进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量)时监测的CSI-RS/SSB资源的质量(在一定时间内)高于给定阈值。
在方式三中,放松对第一测量要求对应的监测资源中的CSI-RS资源和/或SSB资源的方式可以为:减少需要测量的CSI-RS资源/SSB资源的数量,或者,增大对CSI-RS资源/SSB资源测量的周期。
上述三种方式中,由于SSB资源对应范围较宽的波束,CSI-RS资源对应范围较窄的波束,在方式一和方式三,优先选择对SSB资源进行测量,可以知道大范围内信号的情况,方式二选择对CSI-RS资源进行测量,可以知道小范围内信号的情况。
本申请实施例中,除了可以从第一测量要求对应的监测资源中选择部分监测资源,作为第二测量要求对应的监测资源,以实现通过减少监测资源的方式来达到放松对用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量的目的,还可以从第一测量要求对应的监测资源之外的其它监测资源中选择其中的一部分监测资源来作为第二测量要求对应的监测资源,例如,放松测量之前,对5个编号分别为1、2、3、4、5的SSB资源块进行RLM和/或BFD测量,放松测量后,对2个编号分别为6、7的SSB资源块进行RLM和/或BFD测量。
结合上述确定出部分监测资源的三种方式中的任一种或多种,按照第二测量要求进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量,可以由以下方式实现:
例如,终端设备可以对第一测量要求对应的监测资源中的SSB资源进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量。
又例如,可以对第一测量要求对应的监测资源中的SSB资源和部分的CSI-RS资源进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量。
又例如,可以对第一测量要求对应的监测资源中的部分的SSB资源进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量。
又例如,可以对第一测量要求对应的监测资源中的部分的CSI-RS资源进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量。
通过该实现方式,按照资源类型从第一测量要求对应的监测资源中选择出部分监测资源,可以实现按照第二测量要求的测量过程相对于按照第一测量要求的测量过程来说,监测资源的数量有所减少的方式,从而可节省终端设备的功耗。
在其它一些实施例中,终端设备可以在满足以下一个或多个条件时,按照第一测量要求进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量。
条件一:终端设备接收到网络设备发送的第二指示信息,第二指示信息用于指示停止按照第二测量要求进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量。
示例的,若终端设备按照第二测量要求进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量的过程中,网络设备向终端设备发送第二指示信息,当终端设备接收到第二指示信息时,停止放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量。
其中,网络设备可以在确定满足以下任一条件时,生成第二指示信息:条件一,根据终端设备的移动性状态信息确定终端设备为高移动性或中移动性,和/或,根据终端设备的移动速度信息确定终端设备的移动速度大于第一速度阈值;条件二,当前业务的服务质量QoS参数不满足QoS参数对应的阈值条件。
条件二:第二测量要求对应的测量过程不满足触发条件。其中,触发条件的内容可参 见前述相关内容,此处不再赘述。
在一个示例中,若终端设备按照第一测量要求进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量的过程中,确定不满足触发条件,则不允许放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量,继续按照第一测量要求进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量。
在另一个示例中,若终端设备按照第二测量要求进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量的过程中,确定不满足触发条件,则停止放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量。
条件三:第二测量要求对应的测量过程所监测的所有资源的质量均低于第三质量阈值。也就是说,在终端设备放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量的过程中,终端设备所监测的所有资源的质量均低于第三质量阈值,终端设备停止放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量,按照第一测量要求进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量。
条件四:定时器超时,定时器在开始按照第二测量要求进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量时启动。
示例的,网络设备可以配置定时器控制终端设备放松RLM和/或BFD测量的时间,网络设备向终端设备发送为定时器配置的定时时长,当终端设备开始放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量时,终端设备启动定时器,在定时器运行期间终端设备按照第二测量要求进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量,当定时器超时,终端设备停止放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量,按照第一测量要求进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量。
条件五:任一个放松周期内的第一时段结束,第一时段为按照第二测量要求进行用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量的时段。
示例的,网络设备可以为终端设备配置放松周期和第一时段,网络设备向终端设备发送放松周期和第一时段,使终端设备周期性放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量,终端设备从网络设备接收放松周期和第一时段,在每个放松周期内的第一时段内放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量,即在第一时段内按照第二测量要求对RLM和/或BFD进行测量,在第一时段之外按照第一测量要求对RLM和/或BFD进行测量。
通过该条件五,网络设备可以通过配置参数来控制终端设备放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量。
通过该实施例,终端设备可以在放松对用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量后,可以通过判断是否满足上述一个或多个条件,来确定是否停止放松对用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量,以实现合理的选择是否放松对用于无线链路连接质量监测的测量。
本申请实施例中,一方面提供了放松准则,用来判断终端设备是否放松对RLM和/或BFD测量,一种放松准则的实现方式为,网络设备可以控制终端设备放松对RLM和/或BFD测量,例如网络设备发送第一指示信息来指示终端设备放松或发送第二指示信息来指示终端设备停止放松对RLM和/或BFD测量。考虑到处于RRC连接态的终端设备和网络设备建立了连接,网络设备对终端设备的情况有基本的掌握,此外网络设备还了解系统整体的情况,因而网络设备能够针对是否放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量做出合理的决定,让终端设备放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量以节省功耗的同时,也能在需要时及时指示终端设备停止放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量以保证通信要求。另一种放松准则的实现方式为,考虑终端设备的业务要求来判断是否可以放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量,处于RRC连接态的终端设备重要的基本操作之一是进行业务传输,终端设备放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量 不能影响到终端设备基本的通信功能,因此考虑业务要求来判断是否可以放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量,可以避免终端设备在进行高要求业务的传输时因放松测量而对链路/波束质量情况监测不及时,进而导致业务传输受到影响。多种方式可以单独使用,也可以结合使用,以保证终端设备在更加合理的情况下放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量,达到终端设备在节省功耗的同时,不对终端设备基本通信产生负面影响。
另一方面提供了放松测量方式,即放松对RLM和/或BFD测量的具体实现方式,一种方式为网络设备配置阈值控制终端设备需要监测的RLM和/或BFD资源,另一种方式为根据RLM和/或BFD资源类型采用不同的放松测量方式,这两种放松方式通过减少终端设备需要测量的RLM和/或BFD资源个数均能够实现让终端设备放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量。此外,网络设备还可以配置参数进一步控制终端设备的放松行为,规定终端设备在一段时间内放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量,或者周期性地放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量,可以保证终端设备对链路/波束质量的情况仍然具有一定的整体掌握,避免终端设备因过度放松对RLM和/或BFD的测量而影响基本通信功能。
