Measurement method and user equipment

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a measurement method and user equipment. The measurement method includes: receiving indication information transmitted by a network side device, and the indication information indicating member carriers which belong to the carriers aggregation cell where the user equipment is located and are not configured for the user equipment; for the member carriers which the indication information indicates not configured for the user equipment, performing a measurement evaluation and reporting the measurement report, and the mode for performing the measurement evaluation and reporting the measurement report for the member carriers which the indication information indicates not configured for the user equipment is different from the mode for performing the measurement evaluation and reporting the measurement report for an adjacent cell of the carriers aggregation cell where the user equipment is located. The embodiment of the invention enables, in the process of measurement, a different treatment for the member carriers which belong to the carriers aggregation cell where the user equipment is located and are not configured for the user equipment, thus reducing reporting the measurement report for the member carriers which belong to the same carriers aggregation cell and are not configured for the user equipment, and saving air interface resources for transmitting the measurement report.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a measurement method and user equipment. Background technique [0002] A Long Term Evolution (LTE for short) system is a single carrier system, a physical cell is composed of a single carrier, and the maximum bandwidth is 20M. In order to ensure the service quality of high-bandwidth and high-speed services, the carrier aggregation technology is introduced into the Long Term Evolution-Advanced (hereinafter referred to as: LTE-A) system. Carrier aggregation refers to the aggregation of two or more continuous or non-consecutive component carriers to provide wireless transmission bearers for users at the same time. In the case of carrier aggregation, on the one hand, a physical cell may contain multiple aggregated component carriers; on the other hand, the network side may configure multiple component carriers for one user equipment (UserEquip...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] In the prior art, the component carriers not configured for UE in the same carrier aggregation cell are treated the same as the component carriers in another carrier aggregation cell, and the same trigger event is configured on the same frequency layer, so that the same reporting criteria will be applied to The above two types of component carriers; which in turn will cause the UE to frequently report measurement reports for the component carriers not configured for the UE in the same carrier aggregation cell, resulting in a waste of air interface resources for sending measurement reports
