Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communications, and in particular to a measurement interval configuration method, device, equipment, terminal and system. Background Art

[0002] In a wireless communication system, when a terminal is in a connection state with an access network device, it is usually necessary to perform signal measurement on a frequency other than the service frequency of the currently accessed cell.

[0003] In the related art, in order to save costs and reduce mutual interference between different frequency points, the access network equipment can configure a measurement gap for the terminal. The measurement gap indicates the time period for the terminal to perform signal measurement on a specified frequency point in a connected state, wherein the specified frequency point is a frequency point other than the service frequency point of the cell to which the terminal is currently accessed.

[0004] Specifically, after the terminal accesses an access network device, when the access network device determines that a measurement interval needs to be configured for the terminal, the measurement interval configuration information can be sent to the terminal to configure the terminal to switch from the service frequency of the currently accessed cell to the designated frequency for signal measurement when the time period corresponding to the measurement interval arrives, and switch back to the service frequency of the currently accessed cell for data transmission and reception when the time period corresponding to the measurement interval ends.

[0005] When the terminal performs signal measurement according to the measurement interval configured by the access network device, the terminal needs to interrupt the data transmission and reception on the service frequency of the currently accessed cell. With the continuous development of the communication field, more and more terminals support establishing connections with at least two access network devices at the same time. According to the scheme shown in the relevant technology, each access network device connected to the terminal will configure a measurement interval for the terminal. The terminal is configured with more measurement intervals, which requires the terminal to frequently interrupt data transmission and switch to other frequencies for signal measurement, thereby affecting the data transmission and reception efficiency of the terminal.

[0070] Figure 1 : is an architecture diagram of a wireless communication system provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The wireless communication system may be a mobile communication system, for example, the wireless communication system may also be a third generation mobile communication technology (3G) system; or, the wireless communication system may also be a fourth generation mobile communication technology (4G) system, also known as a long term evolution (LTE) system; or, the wireless communication system may also be a 5G system, also known as a new radio (NR) system. The wireless communication system includes: an access network device 110 and a terminal 120.

[0071] Among them, the access network device 110 can be a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, and the name of the base station may be different in different wireless communication systems. For example, the access network device 110 may be a NodeB in a 3G system. Alternatively, the access network device 110 may be an evolved base station (eNB) used in a 4G system. Alternatively, the access network device 110 may also be a base station (gNB) using a centralized distributed architecture in a 5G system. When the access network device 110 adopts a centralized distributed architecture, it generally includes a centralized unit (CU) and at least two distributed units (DU). The centralized unit is provided with a protocol stack of a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer, a radio link layer control protocol (RLC) layer, and a media access control (MAC) layer; the distributed unit is provided with a physical (PHY) layer protocol stack. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific implementation of the access network device 110.

[0072] The access network device 110 and the terminal 120 establish a wireless connection through a wireless air interface. In different implementations, the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on the fourth generation mobile communication network technology (4G) standard; or, the wireless air interface is a wireless air interface based on the fifth generation mobile communication network technology (5G) standard, for example, the wireless air interface is a new air interface; or, the wireless air interface may also be a wireless air interface based on the next generation mobile communication network technology standard of 5G.

[0073] The terminal 120 may refer to a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user. The terminal 120 may communicate with one or more core networks via a radio access network (RAN). The terminal 120 may be a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal, for example, a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-built-in or vehicle-mounted mobile device. For example, a station (STA), a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, an access point, a remote terminal, an access terminal, a user terminal, a user agent, a user device, or a user equipment (UE).

[0074] It should be noted that in Figure 1 The wireless communication system shown may include multiple access network devices 110 and / or multiple terminals 120. Figure 1 Two access network devices 110 and one terminal 120 are shown as an example, but this embodiment is not limited to this.

[0075] After the terminal 120 establishes a connection with the access network device 110 (i.e., the terminal 120 accesses a cell maintained by the access network device 110), when the terminal 120 and the access network device 110 are in a connected state, the terminal 120 may also need to perform signal measurement on other frequency points other than the service frequency point of the currently accessed cell. This process can be called hetero-frequency measurement, or, when the other frequency point is a frequency point of a system corresponding to a system standard other than the system corresponding to the currently accessed cell, the process can also be called hetero-standard measurement; the other frequency point can be a frequency point in the communication system corresponding to the access network device 110, or the other frequency point can also be a frequency point outside the communication system corresponding to the access network device 110.

[0076] The communication system may be a system corresponding to the network standard of the access network device 110, for example, the communication system may be a 3G, 4G or 5G system. In addition, the wireless communication system shown in the embodiment of the present invention may include at least one communication system, or the wireless communication system may also be compatible with multiple different communication systems.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal 120 supports establishing connections with at least two access network devices 110 at the same time.

[0078] Among them, at least two access network devices 110 simultaneously connected to the terminal 120 may belong to different communication systems respectively; for example, taking the number of access network devices simultaneously connected to a terminal as two, the two access network devices simultaneously connected to the terminal may belong to a 4G system and a 5G system respectively.

[0079] Alternatively, at least two access network devices 110 simultaneously connected to the terminal 120 may belong to the same communication system; for example, taking the number of access network devices simultaneously connected to a terminal as two, the two access network devices simultaneously connected to the terminal may both belong to the 4G system, or the two access network devices simultaneously connected to the terminal may both belong to the 5G system.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present invention, if the terminal 120 establishes connections with at least two access network devices 110 at the same time, then when the at least two access network devices 110 configure measurement intervals for the terminal 120, the at least two access network devices 110 determine, through mutual negotiation or according to a predetermined protocol, that one (or part) of the at least two access network devices 110 configures the measurement interval for the terminal, while the other devices in the at least two access network devices 110 do not configure the measurement interval for the terminal, thereby reducing the number of measurement intervals configured when the terminal establishes connections with at least two access network devices 110 at the same time, avoiding the terminal from frequently interrupting data transmission and switching to other frequency points for signal measurement, and improving the data sending and receiving efficiency of the terminal.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 2 , which shows a method flow chart of a measurement interval configuration method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment applies the measurement interval configuration method to Figure 1 In the mobile communication system shown, the measurement interval of a terminal connected to at least two access network devices at the same time is configured as an example. The method includes:

[0082] Step 201: A first access network device determines whether the first access network device is a configuration device of a terminal.

[0083] The configuration device is a part of the at least two access network devices that configures a measurement interval for the terminal. The measurement interval is used to indicate a time period for the terminal to perform signal measurement at other frequency points other than the current working frequency point.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present invention, when a terminal communicates on the service frequency of a currently accessed cell, if it is necessary to measure frequencies other than the service frequency of the currently accessed cell, the access network device corresponding to the currently accessed cell is required to perform measurement configuration of the other frequencies. Specifically, the access network device corresponding to the currently accessed cell can configure a measurement interval for the terminal, and the measurement interval is the time period in which the terminal performs signal measurement at the other frequencies.

[0085] In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the terminal establishes a connection with at least two access network devices at the same time, the at least two access network devices do not all configure the measurement interval for the terminal, and only some (may be one or more) of the access network devices need to configure the measurement interval for the terminal. Among them, the access network device that configures the measurement interval for the terminal is the above-mentioned configuration device.

[0086] Step 202: When the first access network device is a configuration device in at least two access network devices, the first access network device generates measurement interval configuration information.

[0087] When the first access network device determines that it is the configuration device of the terminal, the first access network device generates measurement interval configuration information for indicating the measurement interval configured for the terminal.

[0088] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the measurement interval configuration information may specifically include a measurement frequency, a measurement period, and a time domain position in the measurement period of a time period in which the terminal performs signal measurement at a frequency other than the frequency served by the currently accessed cell.

[0089] For example, assuming that the first access network device requires the terminal to perform an inter-frequency measurement on the frequency point f every 80 ms, and the measurement interval of the inter-frequency measurement is in the first 6 ms of each cycle, then the measurement interval configuration information generated by the first access network device contains the frequency point f, the measurement cycle is 80 ms, and the time domain position of the measurement interval is the first 6 ms of each cycle.

[0090] Step 203: The first access network device sends the measurement interval configuration information to the terminal.

[0091] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first access network device may send the measurement interval configuration information to the terminal through specific signaling or message.

[0092] Specifically, for example, the first access network device may send the measurement interval configuration information to the terminal through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

[0093] Step 204: The terminal performs signal measurement according to the measurement interval configuration information.

[0094] After receiving the measurement interval configuration information sent by the first access network device, the terminal can perform signal measurement according to the measurement interval configuration information.

[0095] For example, taking the measurement interval configuration information as an example, which may specifically include the measurement period and the time domain position in the measurement period during which the terminal performs signal measurement at frequencies other than the frequency of the service of the currently connected cell, if the above-mentioned measurement frequency is f and the measurement period is 80ms, the measurement interval corresponds to the time domain position in each measurement period, which is the first 6ms of each period. When the terminal performs signal measurement, it leaves the service frequency of the currently connected cell within the first 6ms of each 80ms and jumps to frequency f for signal measurement. After the first 6ms, the terminal jumps back to the service frequency of the currently connected cell for data communication.

[0096] For example, taking a terminal establishing connections with access network device A and access network device B at the same time, when the terminal needs to measure other frequencies other than the service frequency of the currently accessed cell, only one of access network device A and access network device B needs to configure the measurement interval for the terminal. Access network device A and access network device B do not need to configure measurement intervals for the terminal separately. In this way, during data transmission, the terminal only needs to perform inter-frequency measurement or inter-standard measurement according to the measurement interval configured by one device. It does not need to perform inter-frequency or inter-standard measurement according to the measurement intervals configured by the two access network devices respectively, thereby reducing the frequency and duration of jumping to frequencies other than the service frequency of the currently accessed cell.

[0097] To summarize, according to the method shown in the embodiment of the present invention, when a terminal establishes a connection with at least two access network devices at the same time, the first access network device among the at least two access network devices will send measurement interval configuration information to the terminal only after determining that it is the configuration device of the terminal, wherein the configuration device is a part of the at least two access network devices, that is, the terminal only needs to perform hetero-frequency or hetero-standard measurements according to the measurement intervals configured for the part of the at least two access network devices connected at the same time, thereby reducing the number of measurement intervals configured when the terminal establishes a connection with at least two access network devices at the same time, avoiding the terminal from frequently interrupting data transmission and switching to other frequency points for signal measurement, and improving the data receiving and sending efficiency of the terminal.

[0098] In the above Figure 2 In a corresponding embodiment, when determining whether the first access network device is a configuration device of the terminal, the first access network device may negotiate with other access network devices that the terminal simultaneously accesses to determine whether the first access network device is a configuration device of the terminal, or may determine according to a predetermined rule (such as a predetermined protocol). The subsequent embodiments of the present invention will be described respectively by taking these two situations as examples.

[0099] Please refer to Figure 3 , which shows a method flow chart of a measurement interval configuration method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment applies the measurement interval configuration method to Figure 1 In the mobile communication system shown, at least two access network devices configure the measurement interval of the terminal by negotiation. The method includes:

[0100] Step 301: A terminal establishes connections with at least two access network devices.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal can simultaneously establish connections with at least two access network devices including the first access network device and perform network communications.

[0102] Step 302: The first access network device performs network negotiation with other devices to determine whether the first access network device is a configuration device.

[0103] The other device is other device among the at least two access network devices except the first access network device.

[0104] The configuration device is a part of the at least two access network devices that configures a measurement interval for the terminal. The measurement interval is used to indicate a time period for the terminal to perform signal measurement at other frequency points other than the current working frequency point.

[0105] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, when the first access network device performs network negotiation with other devices, it can receive configuration negotiation information sent by other devices, and the configuration negotiation information is used to negotiate and determine the access point device for configuring the measurement interval for the terminal, and the first access network device determines whether the first access network device is the above-mentioned configuration device based on the configuration negotiation information.

[0106] Optionally, the configuration negotiation information also includes a configuration indication, and the configuration indication is used to indicate whether other devices determine to configure a measurement interval for the terminal. The first access network device determines whether the first access network device is the above-mentioned configuration device based on the configuration negotiation information. If the configuration indication included in the configuration negotiation information received by the first access network device is used to indicate that other devices determine not to configure a measurement interval for the terminal, the first access network device can determine that it is the above-mentioned configuration device; or, if the configuration indication included in the configuration negotiation information received by the first access network device is used to indicate that other devices determine to configure a measurement interval for the terminal, the first access network device can determine that it is not the above-mentioned configuration device.

[0107] Optionally, the configuration negotiation information may include the frequency of the measurement interval to be configured by other devices corresponding to the terminal.

[0108] Step 303: When the first access network device is a configuration device in at least two access network devices, the first access network device generates measurement interval configuration information.

[0109] When the first access network device determines that it is the configuration device of the terminal, the first access network device generates measurement interval configuration information for indicating the measurement interval configured for the terminal.

[0110] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the measurement interval configuration information may specifically include a measurement frequency, a measurement period, and a time domain position in the measurement period of a time period in which the terminal performs signal measurement at a frequency other than the frequency served by the currently accessed cell.

[0111] Step 304: The first access network device sends the measurement interval configuration information to the terminal.

[0112] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first access network device may send the measurement interval configuration information to the terminal through specific signaling or message.

[0113] For example, the first access network device may send the measurement interval configuration information to the terminal through RRC signaling.

[0114] Step 305: The terminal performs signal measurement according to the measurement interval configuration information.

[0115] After receiving the measurement interval configuration information sent by the first access network device, the terminal can perform signal measurement according to the measurement interval configuration information.

[0116] For example, taking a terminal establishing a connection with access network device A and access network device B at the same time, when the terminal needs to measure other frequencies other than the service frequency of the currently accessed cell, access network device A receives the configuration negotiation information sent by access network device B. When the configuration negotiation information indicates that access network device B determines to allocate a measurement interval for the terminal, access network device A determines that it is not the configuration device of the terminal. At this time, access network device B is the configuration device of the terminal; or, when the configuration negotiation information indicates that access network device B determines not to allocate a measurement interval for the terminal, access network device A determines that it is the configuration device of the terminal. At this time, access network device B is not the configuration device of the terminal. If access network device A determines that it is the configuration device of the terminal, access network device A configures the measurement interval for the terminal, that is, generates and sends the measurement interval configuration information to the terminal. The terminal only needs to perform inter-frequency or inter-standard measurements according to the measurement interval configured by access network device A, thereby reducing the frequency and duration of jumping to frequencies other than the service frequency of the currently accessed cell.

[0117] To summarize, according to the method shown in the embodiment of the present invention, when a terminal establishes a connection with at least two access network devices at the same time, the first access network device among the at least two access network devices will send measurement interval configuration information to the terminal only after determining that it is the configuration device of the terminal through negotiation with other devices, wherein the configuration device is a part of the at least two access network devices, that is, the terminal only needs to perform hetero-frequency or hetero-standard measurements according to the measurement intervals configured for the part of the at least two access network devices connected at the same time, thereby reducing the number of measurement intervals configured when the terminal establishes a connection with at least two access network devices at the same time, avoiding the terminal from frequently interrupting data transmission and switching to other frequency points for signal measurement, and improving the data receiving and sending efficiency of the terminal.

[0118] Please refer to Figure 4 , which shows a method flow chart of a measurement interval configuration method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment applies the measurement interval configuration method to Figure 1 In the mobile communication system shown, at least two access network devices configure the measurement interval of the terminal by a predetermined rule. The method includes:

[0119] Step 401: A terminal establishes connections with at least two access network devices including a first access network device.

[0120] In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal can simultaneously establish connections with at least two access network devices including the first access network device and perform network communications.

[0121] Step 402: The first access network device determines whether the first access network device is a configuration device according to a predetermined protocol.

[0122] The configuration device is a part of the at least two access network devices that configures a measurement interval for the terminal. The measurement interval is used to indicate a time period for the terminal to perform signal measurement at other frequency points other than the current working frequency point.

[0123] Optionally, the predetermined protocol may be a preset communication protocol or a private protocol.

[0124] Optionally, the above-mentioned predetermined protocol specifies that the master device among at least two access network devices is the configuration device of the terminal. When the first access network device determines whether it is the configuration device of the terminal, the first access network device may obtain the relationship between at least two access network devices simultaneously connected to the terminal, and the relationship between the at least two access network devices may indicate the relationship between the master device and the slave device among the at least two access network devices. If the relationship between the at least two access network devices indicates that the first access network device is the master device, the first access network device may determine that it is the configuration device of the terminal.

[0125] Optionally, the predetermined protocol specifies that the device that configures the measurement interval for the terminal the most times among at least two access network devices is the configuration device. When determining whether it is the configuration device of the terminal, the first access network device may obtain the number of times at least two access network devices simultaneously connected to the terminal respectively configure the measurement interval for the terminal, and when the number of times the first access network device configures the measurement interval for the terminal is the maximum value, the first access network device may determine that it is the configuration device of the terminal.

[0126] Step 403: When the first access network device is a configuration device in at least two access network devices, the first access network device generates measurement interval configuration information.

[0127] When the first access network device determines that it is the configuration device of the terminal, the first access network device generates measurement interval configuration information for indicating the measurement interval configured for the terminal.

[0128] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the measurement interval configuration information may specifically include a measurement frequency, a measurement period, and a time domain position in the measurement period of a time period in which the terminal performs signal measurement at a frequency other than the frequency served by the currently accessed cell.

[0129] Step 404: The first access network device sends the measurement interval configuration information to the terminal.

[0130] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first access network device may send the measurement interval configuration information to the terminal through specific signaling or message.

[0131] For example, the first access network device may send the measurement interval configuration information to the terminal through RRC signaling.

[0132] Step 405: The terminal performs signal measurement according to the measurement interval configuration information.

[0133] After receiving the measurement interval configuration information sent by the first access network device, the terminal can perform signal measurement according to the measurement interval configuration information.

[0134] For example, taking a terminal establishing a connection with access network device A and access network device B at the same time as an example, when the terminal needs to measure other frequencies other than the service frequency of the currently accessed cell, access network device A and access network device B respectively determine whether they are the configuration devices of the terminal according to a predetermined protocol, wherein the predetermined protocol only determines that one of access network device A and access network device B is the configuration device of the terminal. If access network device A determines that it is the configuration device of the terminal, access network device A configures a measurement interval for the terminal, i.e., generates and sends measurement interval configuration information to the terminal, and the subsequent terminal only needs to perform inter-frequency or inter-standard measurements according to the measurement interval configured by access network device A, thereby reducing the frequency and duration of jumping to frequencies other than the service frequency of the currently accessed cell.

[0135] To summarize, according to the method shown in the embodiment of the present invention, when a terminal establishes a connection with at least two access network devices at the same time, the first access network device among the at least two access network devices determines that it is the configuration device of the terminal according to a predetermined protocol, and then sends measurement interval configuration information to the terminal, wherein the configuration device is a part of the at least two access network devices, that is, the terminal only needs to perform hetero-frequency or hetero-standard measurements according to the measurement interval configured for the part of the at least two access network devices connected at the same time, thereby reducing the number of measurement intervals configured when the terminal establishes a connection with at least two access network devices at the same time, avoiding the terminal from frequently interrupting data transmission and switching to other frequency points for signal measurement, and improving the data receiving and sending efficiency of the terminal.

[0136] In various embodiments of the present invention, when at least two access network devices that simultaneously establish a connection with the terminal meet certain conditions for the frequency points of the measurement interval to be configured for the terminal, it is necessary to configure the measurement interval for the terminal. Specifically, taking the first access network device among the at least two access network devices as an example, when the first predetermined condition is met and the first access network device is the configuration device of the terminal, the first access network device will generate the measurement interval configuration information.

[0137] The first predetermined condition may include but is not limited to one of the following three:

[0138] Condition 1: The frequency of the measurement interval to be configured for the terminal by the first access network device and the frequency of the measurement interval to be configured for the terminal by the other device are the same frequency, and the frequency does not belong to the service frequency of the first access network device and the other device.

[0139] In the embodiment of the present invention, the measurement interval to be configured by the access network device corresponding to the terminal refers to the measurement interval that the access network device is ready to configure for the terminal, but the measurement interval is not finally determined to be configured.

[0140] For example, a terminal has established connections with access network device A and access network device B at the same time. Access network device A and access network device B are both ready to configure the terminal to measure a certain frequency point f1. This frequency point f1 does not belong to the service frequency point of access network device A and access network device B. When the measurement interval needs to be configured, access network device A and access network device node B can negotiate which access network device configures the measurement interval of the terminal, or determine which access network device configures the measurement interval according to a predetermined protocol.

[0141] Condition two: the frequency of the measurement interval to be configured for the terminal by the first access network device and the frequency of the measurement interval to be configured for the terminal by the other device are different frequencies, the frequency of the measurement interval to be configured for the terminal by the first access network device and the frequency of the measurement interval to be configured for the terminal by the other device do not belong to the service frequencies of the first access network device and the other devices, and the frequency of the measurement interval to be configured for the terminal by the first access network device and the frequency of the measurement interval to be configured for the terminal by the other device belong to the same communication system corresponding to the first access network device or the other device.

[0142] For example, a connection is established between the terminal and access network device A and access network device B. Access network device A is preparing to configure the terminal to measure a certain frequency point f1, and access network device B is preparing to configure the terminal to measure a certain frequency point f2. These two frequencies do not belong to the service frequencies of access network device A and access network device B, but both belong to the communication system of access network device A or access network device B. When it is necessary to configure a measurement interval for the terminal, access network device A and access network device B can negotiate which access network device configures the measurement interval, or determine which access network device configures the measurement interval according to a predetermined protocol.

[0143] Condition three: the frequency of the measurement interval to be configured for the terminal by the first access network device and the frequency of the measurement interval to be configured for the terminal by the other device are different frequencies, the frequency of the measurement interval to be configured for the terminal by the first access network device and the frequency of the measurement interval to be configured for the terminal by the other device do not belong to the service frequencies of the first access network device and the other devices, and the frequency of the measurement interval to be configured for the terminal by the first access network device and the frequency of the measurement interval to be configured for the terminal by the other device belong to different systems in the communication systems corresponding to the first access network device and the other devices respectively.

[0144] For example, a connection is established between the terminal and access network device A and access network device B. Access network device A configures the terminal to measure a certain frequency point f1, and access network device B configures the terminal to measure a certain frequency point f2. These two frequency points do not belong to the service frequency points of access network device A and access network device B; these two frequency points belong to different communication systems. When it is necessary to configure the measurement interval, access network device A and access network device B can negotiate which access network device configures the measurement interval, or determine which access network device configures the measurement interval according to a predetermined protocol.

[0145] In another possible implementation, when the frequency points of the measurement interval to be configured by the terminal corresponding to the at least two access network devices that simultaneously establish a connection with the terminal meet certain conditions, it is also possible that the at least two access network devices do not configure the measurement interval for the terminal. Specifically, taking the first access network device among the at least two access network devices as an example, when the second predetermined condition is met, the first access network device determines not to generate the measurement interval configuration information.

[0146] Among them, the second predetermined condition includes: the frequency of the measurement interval to be configured by the other device for the terminal is the service frequency of the first access network device; or, the frequency of the measurement interval to be configured by the first access network device for the terminal is the service frequency of the other device.

[0147] For example, a connection is established between the terminal and access network devices A and B. Access network device A configures the terminal to measure a frequency point f1, which belongs to the service frequency point in access network device B. Access network devices A and B can negotiate that there is no need to configure a measurement interval for the terminal.

[0148] In another possible implementation, when the at least two access network devices simultaneously connected to the terminal determine that the configuration device fails, the at least two access network devices may respectively generate measurement interval configuration information and send the generated measurement interval configuration information to the terminal.

[0149] In another possible implementation, after the terminal establishes a connection with at least two access network devices, when the terminal receives measurement interval configuration information sent by all or part of the at least two access network devices, the terminal can determine the retained measurement interval configuration information therefrom.

[0150] Please refer to Figure 5 , which shows a method flow chart of a measurement interval configuration method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment applies the measurement interval configuration method to Figure 1 In the mobile communication system shown, at least two access network devices configure the measurement interval of the terminal by a predetermined rule. The method includes:

[0151] Step 501: A terminal receives measurement interval configuration information respectively sent by all or part of at least two access network devices.

[0152] The at least two access network devices simultaneously establish connections with the terminal, the measurement interval configuration information is used to configure a measurement interval of the terminal, and the measurement interval is used to indicate a time period for the terminal to perform signal measurement at a frequency other than the current working frequency.

[0153] Among them, when at least two access network devices that are simultaneously connected to the terminal determine that the configuration device has failed, the at least two access network devices can respectively generate measurement interval configuration information and send the generated measurement interval configuration information to the terminal; at this time, in order to reduce the number or frequency of hetero-frequency or hetero-standard measurements performed by the terminal, the terminal can determine part of the measurement interval configuration information that needs to be retained from the received measurement interval configuration information, and the remaining measurement interval configuration information can be discarded.

[0154] Alternatively, when the number of configuration devices for configuring the measurement interval for the terminal in the at least two access network devices mentioned above is two or more, even if at least two access network devices determine that the configuration device is successful, the terminal may receive two or more measurement interval configuration information; at this time, in order to further reduce the number or frequency of the terminal performing hetero-frequency or hetero-standard measurements, the terminal can also determine part of the measurement interval configuration information that needs to be retained from the received measurement interval configuration information, and the remaining measurement interval configuration information can be discarded.

[0155] Alternatively, even if the terminal receives only one measurement interval configuration information sent by an access network device, if the terminal does not need to perform hetero-frequency or hetero-standard measurement according to the measurement interval configuration information, the terminal may also determine to discard the measurement interval configuration information, that is, determine that the amount of measurement interval configuration information retained is 0.

[0156] Step 502: The terminal determines the reserved measurement interval configuration information from the measurement interval configuration information respectively sent by the at least two access network devices.

[0157] Optionally, the terminal determines the measurement interval configuration information sent by the main connection device among the at least two access network devices as the retained measurement interval configuration information; or, the terminal determines the measurement interval configuration information sent by the access network device among the at least two access network devices that has the most measurement intervals configured for the terminal as the retained measurement interval configuration information.

[0158] Step 503: The terminal performs signal measurement at other frequency points other than the current working frequency point according to the reserved measurement interval configuration information.

[0159] To summarize, according to the method shown in the embodiment of the present invention, when a terminal establishes a connection with at least two access network devices at the same time, after the terminal receives the measurement interval configuration information sent by all or part of the at least two access network devices, the terminal can determine the retained measurement interval configuration information and perform measurements only based on the retained measurement interval configuration information, thereby reducing the number or frequency of hetero-frequency or hetero-standard measurements performed by the terminal, avoiding the terminal from frequently interrupting data transmission and switching to other frequency points for signal measurement, and improving the data receiving and sending efficiency of the terminal.
