Embodiments of the disclosure relate to the field of wireless communications, and more particularly to a resource selection method, a device and a computer storage medium.
In the existing mobile cellular communication system, handover procedure for a terminal device generally refers to a procedure that the terminal device releases radio resources from the serving network node and allocates new radio resources from new target network node. Before the terminal device may adopt new radio resources allocated from target network node, synchronization and random access procedures with the target network node are needed to be performed. The procedure may be either contention based or contention free, which depends on whether a common Random Access Channel (RACH) or a dedicated RACH are used for the procedure.
In the contention-based random access procedure, several UEs may select same PRACH resources for accessing. In this case, if several UEs try to access with same PRAM resources, only one UE may succeed and other UEs need to select new resources and try to access again. In the non-contention based random access procedure, the target network node may provide multiple dedicated PRACH resources for the terminal device to be accessed to select.
With the development of communication technology, research on the 5th generation mobile communication technology (5G, 5th Generation) has been conducted. The wireless access in the 5G system is called New Radio, referred to as NR. In the NR system, the PRACH resources required for the handover procedure may be provided in cell level, and may also be provided in beam level. When the granularity is getting smaller and smaller, one of the urgent problems to be solved is to select the optimal beam resource for accessing during the handover process.

For the above issues, the embodiments of the disclosure are desired to provide necessary auxiliary information to the terminal device during handover procedure, such that the terminal device may be guided to select the access resources. Based on this, the specific solutions of the embodiments of the disclosure are described below in combination with the accompanying drawings.
At block 201, auxiliary information of first access resources are acquired, wherein the first access resources include at least one of dedicated access resources or common access resources, and the auxiliary information is configured to assist the terminal device to perform resource selection.
At block 202, a second access resource is determined from the first access resources according to the auxiliary information of the first access resources and resource evaluation information of the first access resources, wherein the second access resource is configure for performing handover.
In the technical solution illustrated in
In at least one embodiment of the disclosure, the resource evaluation information of each first access resource may include at least one of: a minimum threshold value Qrxlevmin for receiving a cell signal or a minimum quality value Qqualmin. It should be noted that the resource evaluation information may be used to evaluate the quality of each first access resource. The resource evaluation information exemplified herein is usually broadcasted to the UE through system information, such as SIB1. Generally, based on the resource evaluation information, corresponding offset values are configured in IDLE mode cell or beam selection procedure, such that the UE may select a cell or beam for accessing according the offset values along with the corresponding Qrxlevmin or Qqualmin value. As for a handover procedure, however, a signal level requirement during handover would differ from a signal level requirement during IDLE mode resource selection, and thus the additional offset value need to be defined for resource selection during handover. In the embodiments of the disclosure, in one case, the auxiliary information may include at least one of a first offset value corresponding to a Qrxlevmin value of each first access resource or a second offset value corresponding to a Qqualmin value of each first access resource.
In addition, the resource evaluation information exemplified above may be used to evaluate the quality of the first access resources to some extent, and in an alternative example, the first offset value corresponding to a Qrxlevmin value of each first access resource or the second offset value corresponding to a Qqualmin value of each first access resource may be used along with Qrxlevmin values or Qqualmin values of the first access resources to indicate quality of each first access resource during handover. In order to achieve objective quality evaluation, in another ease, the auxiliary information may also be a threshold determined for resource selection.
In combination with the above two cases, the auxiliary information in the embodiments of the disclosure may include at least one of a threshold for resource selection during the handover, a first offset value corresponding to a Qrxlevmin value of each first access resource, or a second offset value corresponding to a Qqualmin value of each first access resource.
It should be noted that the threshold for resource selection during the handover in the auxiliary information may be a threshold generated by reusing the existing Qrxlevmin value and/or Qqualmin value, and may also be a new additional threshold PRACHlevmin. Further, it is to be noted that the auxiliary information described above may be carried in system information together with the resource evaluation information and sent to the terminal device. Therefore, in at least one embodiment of the disclosure, the operation at block 201 that the auxiliary information of the first access resources is acquired may include that a first system information sent by a network device is received, wherein the first system information may include the auxiliary information of the first access resources, and include at least one of Qrxlevmin values of the first access resources or Qqualmin values of the first access resources. In a specific implementation mode, for example, the first system information may be SIB1.
When the auxiliary information merely includes at least one of the first offset values or the second offset values of the first access resources, as both of the offset values correspond to respective Qrxlevmin values and Qqualmin values of the first access resources, the auxiliary information may be carried in a second system information different from the first system information and sent to the terminal device. Therefore, in an alternative example, the operation at block 201 that the auxiliary information of the first access resources is acquired may include that a first system information and a second system information sent by a network device are received, wherein the first system information may include at least one of Qrxlevmin values or Qqualmin values of the first access resources, and the second system information may include the auxiliary information of the first access resources. It is to understand that the first system information may be SIB1, and the second system information may be other SIBs, such as SIB2.
During access, the terminal device, acting as an execution entity, performs the resource selection, and the auxiliary information may be determined by the terminal device. In an alternative example, the operation at block 201 that the auxiliary information of the first access resources is acquired may include that at least one a first offset value for a Qrxlevmin value of each first access resource or a second offset value for a Qqualmin value of each first access resource may be determined according capability information of the terminal device.
As described above, the auxiliary information may include the threshold for resource selection during the handover. In at least one alternative embodiment, the operation at block 201 that the auxiliary information of the first access resources is acquired may include that radio resource control (RRC) dedicated signaling carrying the auxiliary information is received. It is to understand that the RRC dedicated signaling may be RRC signaling that is required to be sent by the network device to the terminal device during the handover procedure, such as RRC reconfiguration signaling, which will not be elaborated herein.
In specific implementations of the embodiments of the disclosure, the operation at block 202 may be performed in different implementations according to the contents of the auxiliary information.
In at least one embodiment, when the auxiliary information includes at least one of the first offset values or the second offset values of the firm access resources, the operation that the second access resource is determined from the first access resources according to the auxiliary information of the first access resource and resource evaluation information of the first access resource may include the following actions.
Quality evaluation parameters of the first access resources may be determined according to at least one of Qrxlevmin values of the first access resources and the first offset values corresponding to respective Qrxlevmin values of the first access resources, or Qqualmin values of the first access resources and the second offset values corresponding to respective Qqualmin values of the first access resources. The quality evaluation parameter may indicate quality of the first access resource.
According to the quality evaluation parameters, a resource with an optimal quality in the first access resource may be determined as the second access resource.
In the embodiment described above, it should be noted that when the access resources are in beams level, the target network node may provide several beams. Some of the beams may belong to dedicated random access (RACH) resources, and some may belong to common RACH resources. In order to avoid access through a dedicated RACH resource unavailable for the handover procedure, such as a dedicated RACH resource with bad quality, the terminal device may evaluate the quality of the first access resources according to at least one of Qrxlevmin values or Qqualmin values of the first access resources along with respective first offset values or the second offset values of the first access resources, and then select a beam with a better quality for accessing. The selected beam may belong to the dedicated RACH resource, and may also belong to the common RACH resource. Therefore, even when there is no dedicated resource with high quality during the handover procedure, the terminal device is still able to access a target network node through a common resource with high quality. In a specific implementation of the embodiment, access resources may be ranked according to the quality evaluation parameters, and the access resource with a higher rank has a higher quality. Therefore, according to the quality evaluation parameters, one or more the first access resources with a high rank may be determined as resources with an optimal quality. It is to understand that when there is more than one access resource with a high rank, as a selection strategy, the second access resource may be randomly selected from the access resources with a high rank. However, those skilled in the art may also select other selection strategies that can be applied, which will be not elaborated herein.
In at least one alternative embodiment, when the auxiliary information includes the threshold for resource selection during the handover and at least one of the first offset values or the second offset values of the first access resources, the operation that the second access resource is determined from the first access resources according to the auxiliary information of the first access resource and resource evaluation information of the first access resource may include the following actions.
Quality evaluation parameters of the first access resources may be determined according to at least one of Qrxlevmin values of the first access resources and the first offset values corresponding to respective Qrxlevmin values of the first access resources, or Qqualmin values of the first access resources and the second offset values corresponding to respective Qqualmin values of the first access resources. The quality evaluation parameter indicates quality of the first access resource.
A resource with a quality evaluation parameter exceeding the threshold may be determined as the second access resource.
In the embodiment, a threshold may be set in order to quantify the quality of the first access resources. The resource with a quality evaluation parameter exceeding the threshold may be considered as the resource with the optimal quality, and thus may be determined as the second access resource for performing handover. It is to understand that when there is more than one access resource with a quality evaluation parameter exceeding the threshold, the second access resource may be selected according to the selection strategy described in the previous embodiment, which will be not elaborated herein.
In at least one alternative embodiment, when the auxiliary information includes the threshold for resource selection during the handover, the operation that the second access resource is determined from the first access resources according to the auxiliary information of the first access resource and resource evaluation information of the first access resource may include the following actions.
Qrxlevmin values of the first access resources or Qqualmin values of the first access resources may be compared with the threshold.
A resource with at least one of a Qrxlevmin value or a Qqualmin value exceeding, the threshold may be determined as the second access resource.
In the embodiment, it should be noted that Qrxlevmin values or Qqualmin values of the first access resources may indicate the quality of each first access resource independently, without in combination with the offset values. Therefore, the Qrxlevmin values or Qqualmin values of the first access resources may be compared with the threshold directly, and a resource with high quality in the first access resources may be determined as the second access resource. The specific selection strategy may be same as that described in the previous embodiment, which will be not elaborated herein.

At block 302, auxiliary information of the first access resources is sent to the terminal device, wherein the auxiliary information is configured to assist the terminal device to perform resource selection.
It should be noted that the network device may send the auxiliary information to the terminal device, such that the terminal device may be able to select the optimal access resource from the access resources to be selected according the resource evaluation information and the auxiliary information.

In an alternative example, the auxiliary information and the evaluation information may be separately sent to the terminal device.
