Abstract

Embodiments of this application provide a communication method and a communication apparatus. In the method, a terminal device determines that a connection establishment failure between the terminal device and a first cell occurs, records first connection establishment failure information, and starts a timer. The terminal device determines, depending on whether the timer has expired, a manner of how to process connection establishment failure information. The terminal device sends a connection establishment failure report, where the connection establishment failure report indicates that the connection establishment failure has occurred between the terminal device and the first cell. In this way, memory usage and power consumption of the terminal device can be reduced.

Dependent claims

A communication method, comprising:

determining that a terminal device fails in establishing a connection between the terminal device and a first cell at a first location, and recording first connection establishment failure information;
determining that the terminal device fails in establishing a connection between the terminal device and the first cell again at a second location, and determining, based on the first location and the second location, whether to record second connection establishment failure information;
and
sending a connection establishment failure report, wherein the connection establishment failure report indicates that a connection establishment failure occurs between the terminal device and the first cell;
wherein the determining, based on the first location and the second location, whether to record second connection establishment failure information comprises:
when determining that a distance between the first location and the second location is greater than a first threshold, recording the second connection establishment failure information;
and
when determining that the distance between the first location and the second location is less than or equal to the first threshold,
skipping recording the second connection establishment failure information, or
recording the second connection establishment failure information, and deleting the first connection establishment failure information, or
updating, during a running timer, indication information indicating a quantity of connection establishment failures in the first connection establishment failure information, or
recording, during a running timer, the second connection establishment failure information, and deleting the first connection establishment failure information.

A communication apparatus, comprising at least one processor coupled to a memory, wherein

the memory is configured to store a program or instructions;
and
the at least one processor is configured to execute the program or the instructions to cause the apparatus to:
determine that a terminal device fails in establishing a connection between the terminal device and a first cell at a first location, and recording first connection establishment failure information;
determine that the terminal device fails in establishing a connection between the terminal device and the first cell again at a second location, and determine, based on the first location and the second location, whether to record second connection establishment failure information;
and
send a connection establishment failure report, wherein the connection establishment failure report indicates that a connection establishment failure occurs between the terminal device and the first cell;
wherein the determining, based on the first location and the second location, whether to record second connection establishment failure information comprises:
when determining that a distance between the first location and the second location is greater than to a first threshold, recording the second connection establishment failure information;
and
when determining that the distance between the first location and the second location is less than or equal to the first threshold,
skipping recording the second connection establishment failure information, or
recording the second connection establishment failure information, and deleting the first connection establishment failure information, or
updating, during a running timer, indication information indicating a quantity of connection establishment failures in the first connection establishment failure information, or
recording, during a running timer, the second connection establishment failure information, and deleting the first connection establishment failure information.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer instructions, wherein when the computer instruction is read and executed by a processor in a communication apparatus, the communication apparatus is caused to perform:

determining that a terminal device fails in establishing a connection between the terminal device and a first cell at a first location, and recording first connection establishment failure information;
determining that the terminal device fails in establishing a connection between the terminal device and the first cell again at a second location, and determining, based on the first location and the second location, whether to record second connection establishment failure information;
and
sending a connection establishment failure report, wherein the connection establishment failure report indicates that a connection establishment failure occurs between the terminal device and the first cell;
wherein the determining, based on the first location and the second location, whether to record second connection establishment failure information comprises:
when determining that a distance between the first location and the second location is greater than a first threshold, recording the second connection establishment failure information;
and
when determining that the distance between the first location and the second location is less than or equal to the first threshold,
skipping recording the second connection establishment failure information, or
recording the second connection establishment failure information, and deleting the first connection establishment failure information, or
updating, during a running timer, indication information indicating a quantity of connection establishment failures in the first connection establishment failure information, or
recording, during a running timer, the second connection establishment failure information, and deleting the first connection establishment failure information.
