Abstract

The present application provides a method and device for wireless communications, comprising as a response to a first event, measuring first reference RSRP; executing a link quality evaluation based on a first measurement criterion; wherein when a difference value between the first reference RSRP and current RSRP is less than a first threshold, the first measurement criterion is satisfied; when a difference value between the first reference RSRP and the current RSRP is not less than a first threshold, the first measurement criterion is not satisfied; the meaning of the phrase of executing a link quality evaluation based on a first measurement criterion comprises: when the first measurement criterion is satisfied, an evaluation on first radio link quality is completed within a first evaluation period. The present application can better save electricity through the first measurement criterion.

Claims (43)

1 . A user equipment (UE) for wireless communications, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor, wherein the transceiver and the processor are configured to:

detect occurrence of at least one event from a set of events, wherein the set of event comprises reconfiguring a Reference Signal (RS) resource set,

in response to detecting the at least one event, perform measurement on the RS resource set to determine a reference RS Receiving Power (RSRP),

determine that a measurement criterion is satisfied upon determining that a difference value between the reference RSRP and a current RSRP is less than a first threshold value,

determine that the measurement criterion is not satisfied when the difference value between the first reference RSRP and the current RSRP is not less than the first threshold value,

on a condition that the measurement criterion is satisfied, evaluate a first radio link quality within a first evaluation period, and

on a condition that the first measurement criterion is not satisfied, evaluate the radio link quality within a second evaluation period.

2 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein measuring the reference RSRP includes setting a value of the reference RSRP to a value of the current RSRP.

3 . The UE according to claim 2 , wherein the set of events comprises:

receiving a configuration of the first measurement criterion,

a MAC of a cell group configured with the measurement criterion successfully completing a random access procedure,

a difference value between the current RSRP and the reference RSRP being greater than 0, or

the measurement criterion not being satisfied within the first time period.

4 . The UE according to claim 3 , wherein reconfiguring the RS resource set includes receiving a first signaling indicative of activating or de-activating at least one RS resource in the RS resource set, and wherein the first signaling is a physical-layer signaling or a MAC-layer signaling.

5 . The UE according to claim 3 , wherein reconfiguring the RS resource set includes receiving a second signaling indicative of adding or modifying or releasing at least one RS resource in the RS resource set, and wherein the second signaling is an RRC signaling.

6 . The UE according to claim 3 , wherein reconfiguring the RS resource set includes receiving a third signaling indicating that a QCL parameter of the RS resource set is a QCL parameter, and wherein before the third signaling is received, a QCL parameter of the RS resource set is a second QCL parameter.

7 . The UE according to claim 3 , wherein reconfiguring the RS resource set includes receiving a fourth signaling indicative of executing a cell handover, and wherein the fourth signaling is a physical-layer signaling or a MAC-layer signaling.

8 . The UE according to claim 3 , wherein reconfiguring the RS resource set includes receiving a fifth signaling used to respond to a first signal, and wherein the UE transmits the first signal upon detecting a beam failure.

9 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the set of events comprises:

receiving a configuration of the measurement criterion,

a Media Access Control (MAC) of a cell group configured with the measurement criterion successfully completing a random access procedure,

a difference value between the current RSRP and the reference RSRP being greater than 0, or

the measurement criterion not being satisfied within the first time period.

10 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein reconfiguring the RS resource set includes receiving a first signaling indicative of activating or de-activating at least one RS resource in the first RS resource set, and wherein the first signaling is a physical-layer signaling or a MAC-layer signaling.

11 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein reconfiguring the RS resource set includes receiving a second signaling indicative of adding or modifying or releasing at least one RS resource in the RS resource set, and wherein the second signaling is a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

12 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein reconfiguring the RS resource set includes receiving a third signaling indicating that a Quasi Co-Location (QCL) parameter of the RS resource set is a first QCL parameter, and wherein before the third signaling is received, a QCL parameter of the RS resource set is a second QCL parameter.

13 . The UE according to claim 12 , wherein the third signaling indicates a first time window, and wherein the UE executes a measurement on the RS resource set based on the first QCL parameter within the first time window, and wherein after the end of the first time window, the UE executes a measurement on the RS resource set based on the second QCL parameter.

14 . The UE according to claim 13 , wherein the transceiver and the processor are further configured to:

reset a power control adjustment state to 0 before or at the beginning of the first time window.

15 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the set of events includes an expiration of a timer.

16 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein reconfiguring the RS resource set includes receiving a fourth signaling, indicative of executing a cell handover, and wherein the fourth signaling is a physical-layer signaling or a MAC-layer signaling.

17 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein reconfiguring the RS resource set includes receiving a fifth signaling used to respond to a first signal, and wherein the UE transmits the first signal upon detecting a beam failure.

18 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the set of events includes receiving a signal after executing reconfiguration WithSync comprised in spCellConfig, reconfiguration WithSync comprised in spCellConfig not triggering a random access.

19 . The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the RS resource set only comprises one of a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) and a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB).

20 . A method in a user equipment (UE) for wireless communications, the method comprising:

detecting occurrence of at least one event from a set of events, wherein the set of event comprises reconfiguring a Reference Signal (RS) resource set;

in response to detecting the at least one event, perform measurement on the RS resource set for determining a reference RSRP;

determining that a measurement criterion is satisfied upon determining that a difference value between the reference RSRP and a current RSRP is less than a threshold value;

determining that the measurement criterion is not satisfied when the difference value between the reference RSRP and the current RSRP is not less than the threshold value;

on a condition that the measurement criterion is satisfied, evaluating a radio link quality within a first evaluation period, and

on a condition that the measurement criterion is not satisfied, evaluating the radio link quality is completed within a second evaluation period.
