Signal measurement method and signal measurement apparatus

Abstract

The invention discloses a signal measurement method and a signal measurement apparatus, belonging to the technical field of communication. The method comprises steps: acquiring a to-be-measured cell list, wherein the to-be-measured cell list comprises access technology type, cell frequency points and cell identifiers of at least one to-be-measured cell, wherein the at least one to-be-measured cell is a dissimilar frequency cell or a dissimilar system cell of the cell where user equipment UE is; within a timing period, judging whether the UE is in a static state; if the UE is in the static state, calculating priority of each to-be-measured cell; and according to the priority of each to-be-measured cell, within each measurement interval contained in the timing period, measuring signals of the cells with the highest priority of a first number. By means of measuring the signals of the first to-be-measured cells including a plurality of cells within each measurement interval contained in the timing period, times of measuring the to-be-measured cells are increased, measurement accuracy is improved, moreover, measurement for all the to-be-measured cells is completed within relatively less measurement intervals, and power consumption is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a signal measurement method and device. Background technique [0002] With the development of communication technology and the continuous evolution of 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project, Third Generation Partnership Project) protocol, user equipment needs to be compatible with various network standards, such as GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication, Global System for Mobile Communication), EDGE (Enhanced Data Rate for GSMEvolution, enhanced data rate GSM evolution technology), TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple, Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access), LTE (Long Term Evolution, long-term evolution). In order to ensure the communication quality, UE (User Equipment, user equipment) needs to continuously measure the signal strength and signal quality of neighboring cells during operation, so as to know the communication qua...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] In a measurement interval, only the cells included in one frequency point are measured, so that the number of measurements for each cell is small in the measurement reporting period, so it is easy to have inaccurate statistical results when counting the communication quality of each cell based on the measurement results In addition, multiple measurement intervals are required to complete the measurement of all cells to be measured, and the long time required for measurement results in high power consumption
