Generally, after performing network measurement or network connection, user equipment (UE) can report a measurement result or a connection failure report to a network device.
However, one UE may include a plurality of transceiver modules using different radio access technologies (for example, a long term evolution (LTE) module and a fifth-generation mobile communication (5G) module). In this case, when the frequency at which the UE transmits signals and the frequency at which the UE receives signals are adjacent frequencies or resonant frequencies, a receiving module of the UE may receive interference from a transmitting module of the UE (they may be transceiver modules using a same radio access technology or different radio access technologies), that is, in-device coexistence (IDC) interference is present in the UE. Therefore, the measurement result (or the connection failure report) provided by the UE may be a measurement result (or a connection failure report) affected by IDC interference, and as a result, the measurement result or the connection failure report reported by the UE is not accurate enough.

The following clearly describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Apparently, the described embodiments are some rather than all of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.
In the specification of the embodiments of this application and the claims of this application, the terms “first”, “second”, and so on are intended to distinguish between different objects but do not indicate a particular order of the objects. For example, first information, second information, and the like are used to distinguish different information, rather than describe a specific sequence of the information.
In the descriptions of the embodiments of this application, “plurality” indicates two or more, unless otherwise specified. For example, a plurality of elements refers to two or more elements.
The term “and/or” in the specification describes an association relationship for describing associated objects and represents that three relationships may exist. For example, display panel and/or backlight may represent the following three cases: display panel alone, both display panel and backlight, and backlight alone. The symbol “/” herein indicates an “or” relationship of associated objects. For example, input/output means input or output.
In the embodiments of this application, the terms such as “an example” or “for example” are used to represent an example, an illustration, or a description. Any embodiment or design scheme described as “an example” or “for example” in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design schemes. Specifically, the terms such as “an example” or “for example” are used to present related concepts in a specific manner.
Some concepts and/or terms used in an information processing method, a device, and a system that are provided in the embodiments of this application are explained below.
A UE connection failure type may include any one of the following: handover failure (for example, handover is not completed within a specified time (for example, timer t304 expires)), secondary cell group (SCG) handover failure (for example, access to a new SCG is not completed within a specified time (for example, timer t307 expires)), or radio link failure (RLF). The radio link failure may include any one of the following: physical layer out of synchronization (for example, timer t310 expires), a media access control (MAC) layer random access failure (for example, the maximum number of random access attempts is reached), an indication indicating that the maximum number of radio link control protocol (RLC) layer retransmissions is reached (for example, the maximum number of RLC layer retransmissions is reached), or a beam failure (for example, beam recovery procedure failure).
For a master cell group (MCG) connection failure: UE takes the connection failure information as part of a radio link failure report (that is, rlf-Report). When initiating a connection reestablishment, the UE may indicate in a connection reestablishment complete message whether there is a radio failure report (that is, “rlf-Info Available” indication information). If a network device receiving this indication information needs to obtain the radio link failure report, the network device may transmit request information (that is, rlf-Report Req) to the UE, requesting the UE to report the radio link failure report. The UE may transmit the radio link failure report to the network device based on the request information transmitted by the network device. For an SCG connection failure: UE reports SCG connection failure information through an MCG connection.
The foregoing radio link failure report may include at least one of the following: a failure type (for example, random access failure, physical layer failure (that is, timer t310 expires), a maximum number of RLC layer retransmissions reached, or beam recovery procedure failure)), a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) of UE, a measurement result of UE such as reference signal received power (RSRP) and reference signal received quality (RSRQ) of the last serving cell and neighboring cell, geographical location information of UE (for example, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) based coordinates and velocity of the UE), or an identifier of a primary cell (PCell) where a failure has occurred.
Embodiments of this application provide an information processing method, a device, and a system. UE may perform any one of the following processing in a case that IDC interference is present in the UE: transmitting first information (that is, the information provided by the UE and not affected by IDC interference), transmitting additional information (which is used to indicate that the UE is affected by IDC interference), transmitting first information and additional information, transmitting first information, second information (that is, the information provided by the UE and affected by IDC interference), and additional information, skipping transmitting first information, skipping transmitting second information, or skipping transmitting first information and second information. The UE does not directly transmit the first information and the second information to a network device in a case that IDC interference is present in the UE, avoiding that information which is not accurate enough is reported by the UE, thereby improving the accuracy of the information reported by the UE.
The information processing method, the device, and the system that are provided in the embodiments of this application may be applied to a communications system, and specifically, may be applied to a procedure in which UE in the communications system processes information in the UE in a case that IDC interference is present in the UE.
It should be noted that in this embodiment of this application, the connection between the network device 02 and the network device 03 shown in
The UE is a device that provides a user with voice and/or data connectivity, a handheld device with a wired/wireless connection function, or another processing device connected to a wireless modem. The UE may communicate with one or more core network devices through a radio access network (RAN). The UE may be a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone (or referred to as a “cellular” phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal, or may be a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer built-in or vehicle-mounted mobile apparatus, which exchanges voice and/or data with the RAN. For example, the UE is a device such as a personal communication service (PCS) phone, a cordless telephone set, a session initiation protocol (SIP) phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, or a personal digital assistant (PDA). The UE may also be referred to as a user agent, a terminal device, or the like.
The network device may be a base station. The base station is an apparatus deployed in a RAN and configured to provide a wireless communication function for the UE. The base station may include various forms of macro base stations, micro base stations, relay nodes, access points, and the like. In systems using different radio access technologies, a device with a base station function may have different names. For example, in a third-generation mobile communication (3G) network, it is referred to as a base station (NodeB); in an LTE system, it is referred to as an evolved base station (evolved NodeB, eNB or eNodeB); in a fifth-generation mobile communication (5G) network, it is referred to as a gNB, and so on. With evolution of communications technologies, the name “base station” may change.

For example, in a case IDC interference is present in the UE, after the UE has measured frequency 1, frequency 2, and frequency 3 based on the measurement configuration information, if the UE determines that a measurement result for frequency 1 and a measurement result for frequency 2 are measurement results not affected by IDC interference, and a measurement result for frequency 3 is a measurement result affected by IDC interference, the UE may transmit the measurement result for frequency 1 and the measurement result for frequency 2 to the network device.

The UE does not directly transmit the first information and the second information to the network device in a case that IDC interference is present in the UE, avoiding that information which is not accurate enough is reported by the UE, thereby improving the accuracy of the information reported by the UE.
Optionally, in this embodiment of this application, with reference to
Step 301. A first network device receives additional information transmitted by the UE.
In this embodiment of this application, the additional information is transmitted in a case that IDC interference is present in the UE, and the additional information is used to indicate that the UE is affected by IDC interference.
Step 302. The first network device transmits the additional information to a second network device.
Optionally, in this embodiment of this application, the first network device may be a base station (for example, a first base station), and the second network device may be a base station (for example, a second base station). During a handover of the UE, the first base station may transmit the additional information to the second base station.

In another possible implementation, the step 401 (or the step 402) may be performed before the step 301, that is, the first network device first receives first information transmitted by the UE (or first information and second information that are transmitted by the UE), and then receives additional information transmitted by the UE. In still another possible implementation, the step 301 and the step 401 (or the step 402) may be performed simultaneously, that is, the first network device simultaneously receives additional information and first information that are transmitted by the UE (or simultaneously receives additional information, first information, and second information that are transmitted by the UE).

In this embodiment of this application, the target failure type may include any one of the following: physical layer out of synchronization, random access failure, or beam failure.
It should be noted that in this embodiment of this application, the physical layer out of synchronization may be understood as: a receiving frequency used in radio link monitoring (RLM) is affected by IDC interference; the random access failure may be understood as: a downlink message in a random access procedure (for example, Msg2, Msg4, or MsgB in a two-step random access procedure) is affected by IDC interference, and the UE cannot receive the downlink message; and the beam failure may be understood as: a receiving signal (or receiving frequency) used in beam failure detection is affected by IDC interference.

In this embodiment of this application, the UE may determine whether the UE connection failure is caused by IDC interference based on the failure type of the UE connection failure, and perform any one of the above processing on information in the UE (for example, first information, second information, and/or additional information), thereby further improving accuracy of the information reported by the UE.

In this embodiment of this application, the second indication information is used to indicate whether to report the information provided by the UE and not affected by IDC interference and the information provided by the UE and affected by IDC interference separately (that is, the second indication information is used to indicate whether to report the first information and the second information separately).
It should be noted that in this embodiment of this application, a network device corresponds to the first network device (that is, the network device is the first network device), and target indication information corresponds to second indication information (that is, the target indication information is the second indication information).
Step 602: The UE receives the second indication information transmitted by the first network device.
