A measurement method, device and storage medium

Abstract

The present invention discloses a measurement method, device, and storage medium, including: a network sending first information to a terminal, wherein the first information includes a set of measurement intervals, or at least two sets of measurement intervals. The present invention can avoid the problem that the duration of a PRS exceeds the measurement interval length, resulting in an inability to complete measurements within the existing measurement interval.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a measurement method, device and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] When performing measurements, especially inter-frequency measurements, the terminal usually needs to configure a measurement interval. During this measurement interval, the terminal disconnects from the current service frequency and tunes to the target SSB (Synchronization Signal and PBCH block, including PSS, SSS, and PBCH, also described as SS / PBCH block) position for measurement. The measurement interval is configured through RRC (Radio Resource Control), including the measurement interval period, measurement interval length, offset, etc. Figure 1 This is a diagram showing the relationship between measurement interval parameters. The measurement interval is as follows: Figure 1 The terminal completes measurements on all target frequencies based on a set of measurement intervals. The maximum measurement interval lengths for FR (Frequency Range) 1 and FR2 are 5ms and 5.5ms, respectively (excluding RF modulation time).

[0003] When a terminal performs positioning based on a positioning reference signal (PRS), if the target frequency point used for positioning is not within the terminal's activation bandwidth, the terminal needs to complete positioning-related measurements based on a measurement interval.

[0004] The disadvantage of the existing technology is that the PRS duration may be too long, resulting in the inability to complete the measurement within the existing measurement interval.

[0005] Furthermore, regarding the problem of how to perform longer PRS measurements, there is no solution to the problem after introducing a measurement interval suitable for longer PRS measurements. Summary of the Invention

For example, if a measurement interval suitable for PRS measurements is also suitable for other measurement purposes, there is a problem of using or allocating the same measurement interval for multiple measurement purposes. Another possible problem is that if the measurement interval used for positioning measurement cannot be used for other measurement purposes (e.g., RRM measurements), multiple sets of measurement intervals need to be configured to achieve different measurement purposes, which then leads to the problem of the terminal using or allocating multiple sets of measurement intervals. Based on this, since the base station sends first information to the terminal, and the first information includes a set of measurement intervals, or includes at least two sets of measurement intervals, when there are multiple measurement purposes, each measurement purpose can use or allocate the same measurement interval according to its own needs. Even if there is a dedicated measurement interval, it can be achieved through other configured measurement intervals. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0191] During the course of the invention, the inventors noticed that:

[0192] The duration of the PRS is related to the number of symbols, the number of resources, repetition, and SCS (sub-carrier spacing). Multiple factors affect the duration of the PRS, and different combinations of values ​​result in different PRS durations. The details are as follows:

[0193] Number of symbols occupied in each slot: {2, 4, 6, 12} OFDM symbols (OFDM: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex);

[0194] Resource number: The maximum number of FR1 resources is 8, and the maximum number of FR2 resources is 64.

[0195] Repetitions: {1,2,4,8,16,32};

[0196] SCS:{15,30,60,120}KHz.

[0197] As previously mentioned, the PRS duration is related to the number of symbols, the number of resources, the repetition, and the SCS. Multiple factors influence the PRS duration, and different combinations of values ​​result in different PRS durations. Because the values ​​of these factors are highly flexible and diverse, the PRS duration can exceed the measurement interval in some configurations. Table 1 lists several problematic configurations. In these scenarios, not all PRSs can be received within the measurement interval, impacting measurement performance.

[0198] Table 1:

[0199]

[0200]

[0201] To address the issue of the PRS duration being too long to complete measurements within the existing measurement interval, a possible solution is to introduce a new measurement interval. However, the newly introduced measurement interval will affect RRM (Radio Resource Management) measurements, leading to new issues, such as whether the newly introduced measurement interval can be used for RRM measurements, whether the newly introduced measurement interval and the existing measurement interval can coexist, and how the terminal behaves.

[0202] Regarding the issue of how to perform longer PRS measurements, the core issue is the impact on other measurement purposes (such as RRM measurements) after introducing measurement intervals suitable for longer PRS measurements, and how to address these impacts. Specific issues include: if the measurement interval suitable for PRS measurements is also suitable for other measurement purposes, then there is the problem of using or allocating the same measurement interval for multiple measurement purposes. Another issue is that if the measurement interval used for positioning measurements cannot be used for other measurement purposes (such as RRM measurements), then multiple sets of measurement intervals need to be configured to achieve different measurement purposes, which then leads to the problem of how the terminal uses or allocates multiple sets of measurement intervals.

[0203] Based on this, in order to address the problems caused by the newly introduced measurement interval to RRM measurements, an embodiment of the present invention will provide a measurement solution to solve one or a combination of the above possible problems. The specific implementation of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0204] During the description, the implementation on the UE and base station sides will be explained separately, and then an example of their coordinated implementation will be given to better understand the implementation of the solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention. This description does not mean that the two must be implemented in coordination or separately. In fact, when the UE and base station are implemented separately, they can also solve the problems on the UE side and the base station side respectively. When the two are used in combination, better technical effects will be achieved.

[0205] Figure 2 A flow chart illustrating a method for configuring a measurement interval on a base station side is provided, as shown in the figure, which may include:

[0206] Step 201: A base station sends first information to a terminal, where the first information includes a set of measurement intervals, or at least two sets of measurement intervals.

[0207] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a first information method implementation flow on the terminal side, as shown in the figure, which may include:

[0208] Step 301: A terminal receives first information sent by a network, where the first information includes a set of measurement intervals, or at least two sets of measurement intervals.

[0209] In an implementation, when the first information includes a set of measurement intervals, the measurement intervals are used for at least two measurement purposes; or,

[0210] When the first information includes at least two sets of measurement intervals, each set of measurement intervals is used for one measurement purpose;

[0211] The first information includes a set of measurement intervals, or includes at least two sets of measurement intervals, and the measurement intervals can be used for measuring at least two frequency points or frequencies.

[0212] Specifically, when the first information includes a set of measurement intervals, the measurement purpose here can be positioning measurement (such as PRS measurement), RRM measurement (this measurement can be used for mobility measurement, such as switching or reselection measurement), or other measurement purposes.

[0213] When only one set of measurement intervals is configured, taking PRS measurement and RRM measurement as an example, the measurement interval can be used for both PRS layer (measurement frequency) measurement and RRM layer measurement.

[0214] When the first information includes at least two sets of measurement intervals, taking the configuration of two sets of measurement intervals as an example, the first measurement interval is used for a first measurement purpose (e.g., for positioning measurement), and the second measurement interval is used for a second measurement purpose (e.g., for RRM measurement). Each measurement purpose can have multiple measurement targets, which can also be called measurement frequencies or layers.

[0215] The measurement interval includes at least two sets of measurement intervals, including multiple sets of measurement intervals existing at the same time, multiple sets of measurement intervals existing within a certain period of time, but different measurement intervals do not overlap at all in the time domain, and multiple sets of measurement intervals existing within a certain period of time, and different measurement intervals partially overlap in the time domain. Taking the measurement interval used for positioning and the measurement interval used for RRM measurement as an example, Figure 4 FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the time domain position relationship of the measurement intervals. There are three possible time domain position relationships between the two sets of measurement intervals as shown in the figure.

[0216] Different types of frequencies include frequencies of different RATs (Radio Access Technologies), that is, frequencies of different radio access technologies. For example, it can be LTE (Long term evolution) (E-UTRAN (Evolution-Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network)) frequencies, NR (New Radio) frequencies, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) frequencies. The frequencies or frequencies here may also be referred to as measurement targets (MO, measurement object). Different types of frequencies or frequencies may be for the same measurement purpose, such as LTE (E-UTRAN) frequencies or frequencies, NR frequencies or frequencies, both of which are used for RRM measurements, or both of which are used for positioning measurements or PRS measurements. Different types of frequencies or frequencies may also have different measurement purposes, for example, LTE (E-UTRAN) frequencies or frequencies are used for RRM measurement, NR frequencies or frequencies are used for positioning measurement or PRS measurement, or LTE (E-UTRAN) frequencies or frequencies are used for positioning measurement or PRS measurement, and NR frequencies or frequencies are used for RRM measurement.

[0217] Different types of frequencies can also include intra-frequency carrier, inter-frequency carrier, and inter-RAT carrier.

[0218] In implementation, a first factor may be indicated to the terminal, where the first factor is used to indicate a ratio or percentage of the measurement interval used for different measurement purposes;

[0219] A second factor is indicated to the terminal, where the second factor indicates a ratio or percentage of the measurement interval used for different frequency points or frequencies.

[0220] Correspondingly, for the terminal side, it further includes:

[0221] The terminal obtains a first factor, where the first factor is used to indicate a ratio or percentage of the measurement interval used for different measurement purposes;

[0222] The terminal obtains a second factor, where the second factor indicates a ratio or percentage of the measurement interval used for different frequency points or frequencies.

[0223] Specifically, the acquisition here includes the terminal receiving the factor-related information sent by the network side, and also includes the factor-related information predefined in the protocol.

[0224] The first factor can also be understood as being used to indicate measurement interval sharing, indicating how different measurement purposes share the measurement interval.

[0225] The first factor can have multiple values ​​and can be configured by the network or specified in the protocol. For example, when used for two measurement purposes, the first factor indicates the ratio or percentage of the measurement interval used for the first measurement purpose and the second measurement purpose. The measurement duration of the measurement targets for different measurement purposes needs to be multiplied by the factor or the reciprocal of the factor.

[0226] For example, if the first factor is Y, where Y is an integer, the measurement duration of the measurement target for the first measurement purpose needs to be multiplied by 1 / Y*100, and the measurement duration of the measurement target for the second measurement purpose needs to be multiplied by 1 / (100-Y)*100.

[0227] For another example, if the first factor is X, the measurement duration of the measurement target for the first measurement purpose needs to be multiplied by 1 / X, and the measurement duration of the measurement target for the second measurement purpose needs to be multiplied by 1 / (1-Y).

[0228] For example, if this factor indicates a 1 / 3 probability for positioning and a 2 / 3 probability for RRM measurement, then the positioning measurement duration is 3*T1, where T1 is the duration corresponding to a certain number of sampling times. The RRM measurement duration for a certain frequency point is 1.5*T2, where T2 is the duration corresponding to a certain number of sampling times.

[0229] The second factor can also be understood as indicating measurement interval sharing, indicating how different frequency points or frequencies share the measurement interval. The second factor can indicate at least one of the following:

[0230] The ratio or percentage of LTE (E-UTRAN) frequency points or frequencies using the measurement interval;

[0231] The ratio or percentage of the NR frequency point or frequency using the measurement interval;

[0232] The ratio or percentage of the GSM frequency or frequency using the measurement interval;

[0233] The ratio or percentage of using the measurement interval in the same frequency;

[0234] The ratio or percentage of the measurement interval used by the different frequencies;

[0235] The proportion or percentage of the measurement interval used by the heterogeneous system;

[0236] Inter-frequency and inter-system use the ratio or percentage of this measurement interval.

[0237] Furthermore, different second factors are configured according to different scenarios, such as EN-DC (E-UTRA is MCG, NR is SCG dual connectivity, E-UTRANR dual connectivity with MCG using E-UTRA and SCG using NR), NE-DC (NR-E-UTRA Dual Connectivity), NR SA (Standalone Networking), NE-DC, NR LTE.

[0238] In the EN-DC scenario, the second factor indicates the proportion or percentage of the LTE (E-UTRAN) frequency or frequency that uses the measurement interval. Among the LTE (E-UTRAN) frequency or frequency and the NR frequency or frequency, and / or other frequency, a higher proportion or percentage of the measurement interval is allocated to the LTE (E-UTRAN) frequency or frequency. This approach can improve the mobility performance of the MN node (anchor node) in the EN-DC scenario.

[0239] Implementation method 2: In the NE-DC scenario, the second factor indicates the proportion or percentage of the NR frequency or frequency using the measurement interval. Among LTE (E-UTRAN) frequencies or frequencies and NR frequencies, and / or other frequencies, a higher proportion or percentage of the measurement interval is allocated to the NR frequency or frequency. This approach can improve the mobility performance of the MN node (anchor node) in the NE-DC scenario.

[0240] Implementation method 3: In the NR SA scenario, the second factor indicates the proportion or percentage of the NR frequency or frequency using the measurement interval. Among LTE (E-UTRAN) frequencies or frequencies and / or NR frequencies, and / or other frequencies, a higher proportion or percentage of the measurement interval is allocated to the NR frequency or frequency. This approach can improve mobility performance in the NR SA scenario.

[0241] Implementation 4: In the NR-DC scenario, the second factor indicates the proportion or percentage of the NR frequency or frequency using the measurement interval. Among the LTE (E-UTRAN) frequency or frequency and / or NR frequency or frequency, and / or other frequency, a higher proportion or percentage of the measurement interval is allocated to the NR frequency or frequency. This approach can improve mobility performance in the NR-DC scenario.

[0242] In a fifth embodiment of the present invention, in an LTE SA scenario, the second factor indicates the proportion or percentage of the LTE (E-UTRAN) frequency or frequency that uses the measurement interval. Among LTE (E-UTRAN) frequencies or frequencies and / or NR frequencies, and / or other frequencies, a higher proportion or percentage of the measurement interval is allocated to LTE (E-UTRAN) frequencies or frequencies. This approach can improve mobility performance in LTE SA scenarios.

[0243] During implementation, the following may be further included:

[0244] N measurement purposes use the measurement interval with equal probability, where N is a natural number greater than 2.

[0245] Specifically, using the measurement interval for N measurement purposes with equal probability may include the following methods:

[0246] N measurement purposes use the measurement interval with equal probability, and multiple measurement frequency points included in each of the N measurement purposes use the measurement interval with equal probability;

[0247] N measurement purposes use measurement intervals with equal probability, but the multiple measurement frequencies included in each measurement purpose do not use measurement intervals with equal probability;

[0248] N measurement purposes use the measurement interval with equal probability, but K measurement purposes, where K is an integer greater than 1, include measurement frequencies that do not use the measurement interval with equal probability as measurement frequencies of other measurement purposes.

[0249] In implementation, the multiple measurement frequency points included in the Mth measurement purpose are treated as one frequency point and share the measurement interval with the frequency points of other measurement purposes, where M is a natural number.

[0250] Specifically, the multiple measurement frequency points of the Mth measurement purpose are treated as one frequency point and the measurement interval is shared with the frequency points of other measurement purposes. This means that the multiple measurement frequency points of the Mth measurement purpose are treated as one frequency point and compete with the frequency points of other measurement purposes for the measurement interval.

[0251] For example, consider two measurement purposes: PRS measurement and RRM measurement. PRS measurement covers M PRS layers, while RRM measurement covers N RRM layers. The M PRS layers are considered as one layer, sharing the measurement interval with the other N RRM layers. This means that when calculating the carrier-specific scaling factor (CSSF), PRS measurement only needs to consider one PRS layer. The measurement duration of the M PRS layers is the sum of the measurement durations of each PRS layer.

[0252] During implementation, a third factor is indicated to the terminal, where the third factor is used to indicate usage ratios or percentages of different measurement intervals.

[0253] Correspondingly, on the terminal side, it further includes:

[0254] The terminal obtains a third factor, where the third factor is used to indicate usage ratios or percentages of different measurement intervals.

[0255] Specifically, the third factor can have multiple values, which can be configured by the network side or specified in the protocol. Furthermore, the usage ratio or percentage of different measurement intervals indicated by the third factor can be as follows:

[0256] The usage ratio or percentage of a set of measurement intervals among multiple sets of measurement intervals within a certain period of time;

[0257] When multiple sets of measurement intervals overlap (including complete overlap and partial overlap), the ratio or percentage of the terminals using different measurement intervals in the overlapping part.

[0258] For example, if MG1 is used for positioning and MG2 is used for RRM, when MG1 and MG2 completely overlap, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the usage ratio or percentage of the measurement interval. As shown in the figure, the third factor is used to notify the terminals MG1 and MG2 of the usage ratio or percentage.

[0259] The third factor is 1 / 3, indicating that the overlapping position has a 1 / 3 probability of being used for MG1 (positioning) and a 2 / 3 probability of being used for MG2 (RRM). Accordingly, the measurement duration of multiple measurement points for positioning needs to be multiplied by 3, and the measurement duration of multiple measurement points for RRM needs to be multiplied by 3 / 2.

[0260] In implementation, second information is indicated to the terminal, where the second information is used to indicate a priority of the measurement interval, and the terminal performs measurement based on the measurement interval indicated by the priority.

[0261] Correspondingly, on the terminal side, it further includes:

[0262] The terminal obtains second information, where the second information is used to indicate a priority of the measurement interval, and the terminal performs measurement only based on the measurement interval indicated by the priority.

[0263] Specifically, the priority of the measurement interval indicated by the second information may be as follows:

[0264] The priority of using a certain set of measurement intervals among multiple sets of measurement intervals within a certain period of time;

[0265] When multiple sets of measurement intervals overlap (including complete overlap and partial overlap), the measurement intervals used by the terminal pairs in the overlapping part.

[0266] During implementation, the following may be further included:

[0267] The receiving terminal sends a notification of completion of the current measurement purpose or a request for a measurement interval for another measurement purpose to the network side.

[0268] Correspondingly, for the terminal side, it further includes:

[0269] The terminal sends a notification of completion of the current measurement purpose or a request for a measurement interval for other measurement purposes to the network side.

[0270] Specifically, other measurement purposes refer to measurement purposes other than the current measurement purpose.

[0271] The terminal sends a notification of completion of the current measurement purpose or a request for a measurement interval for another measurement purpose to the network side. Based on this information, the network side can configure the measurement interval, the first factor, the third factor, the second information, or a combination thereof.

[0272] Specifically, if the current measurement purpose is positioning, the network side device may be a positioning server or a base station.

[0273] During implementation, the following may be further included:

[0274] After receiving the notification that the terminal network positioning is completed, send the measurement interval configuration and measurement factor to the terminal; or,

[0275] After receiving a request for a measurement interval for RRM measurement sent by the terminal to the network side, the network sends a measurement interval configuration and a measurement factor to the terminal.

[0276] Correspondingly, for the terminal side, there are: after the network positioning is completed, the base station is notified so that the base station sends the measurement interval configuration and the measurement factor to the terminal; or,

[0277] The terminal sends a request for a measurement interval for RRM measurement to the network side, so that the base station sends the measurement interval configuration and the measurement factor to the terminal.

[0278] Specifically, if only the first measurement interval is configured within a certain period, this measurement interval is used only for positioning. During positioning, the terminal can only perform positioning measurements and cannot perform RRM measurements. Therefore, the terminal can send signaling to the network to notify the network of the end of positioning or to request the network to configure a measurement interval for RRM measurements.

[0279] During implementation, the following may be further included:

[0280] The network side sends third information to the terminal, where the third information includes at least one of the following:

[0281] N duration information, where the duration information includes the duration of the measurement interval and / or the starting position of the measurement interval, where N is an integer;

[0282] M timers, each timer indicating the duration of a measurement interval or, upon expiration of the timer, a different measurement interval from the current measurement interval or from the measurement interval used in the timer;

[0283] Q counters, the timer indicating the number of times a measurement interval is used or another measurement interval different from the current measurement interval or the measurement interval used in the counter is used after the counter expires.

[0284] Specifically, multiple sets of measurement interval conversion mechanisms may be adopted, and measurement interval conversion instructions may be introduced and issued by the network.

[0285] In a specific implementation, the base station indicates the use of multiple sets of measurement intervals to the terminal in one of the following ways or a combination thereof:

[0286] After receiving a first measurement interval for a first duration at a first moment, measurement is performed using the first measurement interval within the first duration; after receiving a second measurement interval for a second duration at a second moment, measurement is performed using the second measurement interval within the second duration; and so on, after receiving a second measurement interval for an Nth duration at an Nth moment, measurement is performed using the Nth measurement interval within the Nth duration;

[0287] Specifically, MG1 is sent at time N1 for measurement during T1, and MG2 is sent at time N2 for measurement during T2. After the terminal receives the MG switch indication from the network, it uses MG1 for measurement during T1 and MG2 for measurement during T2, and so on.

[0288] Configure M timers. After the first measurement interval is used, start the first timer. After the first timer expires, use the second measurement interval. After the second measurement interval is used, start the second timer. And so on. After the M-1th timer expires, use the Mth measurement interval.

[0289] Specifically, a timer can be introduced to control the usage duration of each MG. For example, at time N1, MG1 is sent, timer 1 is started, and after timer 1 expires, the system switches to MG2. Timer 2 is started, and after timer 2 expires, the system switches to MG1, and so on. Another feasible solution is to combine the measurement interval transition indication sent by the network, so that the network can indicate whether to enable measurement interval transition.

[0290] Q counters are configured. After the first measurement interval reaches the first counter, the second measurement interval is used. After the second measurement interval reaches the second counter, the third measurement interval is used. And so on. After the M-1th measurement interval reaches the M-1th counter, the Mth measurement interval is used.

[0291] Specifically, if MG1 is sent at time N1, it can be used M times; if MG2 is sent at time N2, it can be used N times. That is, after M MG1 times, it switches to MG2, after N MG2 times, it switches to MG1 again, and so on. Another feasible solution is to combine the measurement interval transition indication sent by the network, and let the network indicate whether to enable measurement interval transition.

[0292] According to the above solution, correspondingly, on the terminal side:

[0293] The terminal uses multiple sets of measurement intervals in one or a combination of the following ways:

[0294] After receiving a first measurement interval for a first duration at a first moment, measurement is performed using the first measurement interval within the first duration; after receiving a second measurement interval for a second duration at a second moment, measurement is performed using the second measurement interval within the second duration; and so on, after receiving a second measurement interval for an Nth duration at an Nth moment, measurement is performed using the Nth measurement interval within the Nth duration;

[0295] Configure M timers. After the first measurement interval is used, start the first timer. After the first timer expires, use the second measurement interval. After the second measurement interval is used, start the second timer. And so on. After the M-1th timer expires, use the Mth measurement interval.

[0296] Q counters are configured. After the first measurement interval reaches the first counter, the second measurement interval is used. After the second measurement interval reaches the second counter, the third measurement interval is used. And so on. After the M-1th measurement interval reaches the M-1th counter, the Mth measurement interval is used.

[0297] During implementation, one of the following methods or a combination thereof may be further included:

[0298] Instructing the terminal or pre-agreing with the terminal on the priority of using multiple sets of measurement intervals;

[0299] Instructs the terminal to use different ratios or percentages of measurement intervals within a predetermined time or at overlapping moments.

[0300] Correspondingly, for the terminal side, there is: further including one of the following methods or a combination thereof:

[0301] receiving multiple sets of measurement intervals and usage priorities indicated by the base station to the terminal or pre-agreed with the base station;

[0302] The terminal receives the ratio or percentage of different measurement intervals used by the terminal within a predetermined time or at overlapping moments as indicated by the base station.

[0303] Specifically, if two sets of measurement intervals are configured within a certain period of time: the first measurement interval MG1 (the measurement interval introduced in the embodiment of the present invention) and the second measurement interval MG2 (using the existing measurement interval), MG1 can only be used for positioning. Considering the time domain position relationship between MG1 and MG2, Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the time domain position relationship between MG1 and MG2, as shown in Figure 4 As shown, to resolve the conflict between MG1 and MG2, consider the following methods:

[0304] Introducing positioning and RRM measurement priorities or measurement interval priorities: The network indicates the priority or the protocol stipulates that the terminal only uses a certain set of MGs to perform a certain measurement;

[0305] A third factor (or a second weight, etc.) is introduced, which indicates the ratio or percentage of the use of MG1 and MG2 by the terminal within a certain period of time or at a certain overlapping moment.

[0306] During implementation, the following may be further included:

[0307] The receiving terminal reports to the network side the measurement interval configuration or measurement interval identifier supported by the terminal for positioning.

[0308] Correspondingly, for the terminal side, it further includes:

[0309] Whether the terminal supports configuring the measurement interval for RRM measurement as reported by the receiving terminal to the network side; and / or,

[0310] The receiving terminal reports to the network whether the terminal supports measurement of at least two measurement purposes within the measurement interval.

[0311] Specifically, a terminal capability may be introduced to indicate whether the terminal supports the measurement interval applied to positioning.

[0312] Considering that multiple new measurement gap configurations may be introduced for positioning, the terminal may not support all introduced measurement gap configurations (measurement gap patterns). Therefore, a terminal capability may be introduced to indicate the measurement gap configurations or measurement gap identifiers supported by the terminal for positioning. For example, a feasible implementation method may be:

[0313] A bit sequence of length N is introduced, where each bit corresponds to a measurement gap pattern used for positioning. A bit set to 1 indicates that the terminal supports the measurement gap pattern used for positioning, and a bit set to 0 indicates that the terminal does not support the measurement gap pattern used for positioning.

[0314] During implementation, the following may be further included:

[0315] Indicates whether the terminal supports the use of measurement interval configuration for RRM measurements.

[0316] Correspondingly, for the terminal side, it further includes:

[0317] The terminal receives the indication from the base station whether it supports configuring the measurement interval for RRM measurement.

[0318] Specifically, a terminal capability may be introduced to indicate whether the terminal supports the use of the introduced measurement interval configuration for RRM measurement.

[0319] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a base station, a terminal, and a computer-readable storage medium. Since the principles of solving problems by these devices are similar to those of the measurement interval configuration method, the implementation of these devices can refer to the implementation of the method, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0320] When implementing the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention, it can be implemented as follows.

[0321] Figure 6 The following is a schematic diagram of the base station structure. As shown in the figure, the base station includes:

[0322] The processor 600 is configured to read the program in the memory 620 and execute the following process:

[0333] During implementation, it further includes:

[0339] Q counters, the timer indicating the number of times a measurement interval is used or another measurement interval different from the current measurement interval or the measurement interval used in the counter is used after the counter expires.

[0340] In implementation, the use of multiple sets of measurement intervals is indicated to the terminal in one or a combination of the following ways:

[0341] After receiving a first measurement interval for a first duration at a first moment, measurement is performed using the first measurement interval within the first duration; after receiving a second measurement interval for a second duration at a second moment, measurement is performed using the second measurement interval within the second duration; and so on, after receiving a second measurement interval for an Nth duration at an Nth moment, measurement is performed using the Nth measurement interval within the Nth duration;

[0342] Configure M timers. After the first measurement interval is used, start the first timer. After the first timer expires, use the second measurement interval. After the second measurement interval is used, start the second timer. And so on. After the M-1th timer expires, use the Mth measurement interval.

[0343] Q counters are configured. After the first measurement interval reaches the first counter, the second measurement interval is used. After the second measurement interval reaches the second counter, the third measurement interval is used. And so on. After the M-1th measurement interval reaches the M-1th counter, the Mth measurement interval is used.

[0344] The implementation further includes one or a combination of the following methods:

[0345] Instructing the terminal or pre-agreing with the terminal on the priority of using multiple sets of measurement intervals;

[0346] Instructs the terminal to use different ratios or percentages of measurement intervals within a predetermined time or at overlapping moments.

[0347] During implementation, it further includes:

[0348] The receiving terminal reports to the network side the measurement interval configuration or measurement interval identifier supported by the terminal for positioning.

[0349] During implementation, it further includes:

[0350] Whether the terminal supports configuring the measurement interval for RRM measurement as reported by the receiving terminal to the network side; and / or,

[0351] The receiving terminal reports to the network whether the terminal supports measurement of at least two measurement purposes within the measurement interval.

[0352] Among them, Figure 6 In the embodiment, the bus architecture may include any number of interconnected buses and bridges, specifically linking together various circuits of one or more processors represented by processor 600 and memory represented by memory 620. The bus architecture may also link together various other circuits such as peripheral devices, voltage regulators, and power management circuits, which are all well known in the art and therefore will not be described further herein. The bus interface provides an interface.

The processor 600 is responsible for managing the bus architecture and general processing, and the memory 620 may store data used by the processor 600 when performing operations.

[0353] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a base station, including:

[0354] The base station sending module is configured to send first information to the terminal, where the first information includes a set of measurement intervals, or includes at least two sets of measurement intervals.

[0355] During implementation, the base station sending module is further used to send the first information including a set of measurement intervals, and the measurement intervals are used for at least two measurement purposes; or, when the first information includes at least two sets of measurement intervals, each set of measurement intervals is used for one measurement purpose; or, the first information includes a set of measurement intervals, or includes at least two sets of measurement intervals, and the measurement intervals can be used for measuring at least two frequency points or frequencies.
