[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] As used herein, "a plurality of" means two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects and indicates that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0037] Currently, electronic devices with wireless communication functions generally support communication using multiple network modes. During the mobile communication process of an electronic device, to ensure the communication quality during the movement, cell reselection and handover are required. During this process, cell measurements need to be performed, such as intra-frequency measurement, inter-frequency measurement, and inter-system measurement, etc.

[0038] In the related art, as Figure 1 shown, when performing inter-frequency measurement or inter-system measurement, the measurement scheduling module corresponding to the resident network mode in the electronic device, that is, the physical layer, first completes the main mode tasks (including receiving paging, system messages, scheduling intra-frequency measurement, etc.), and then sequentially performs inter-frequency measurement, inter-system measurement, etc. For example, if the current resident network mode is Long Term Evolution (LTE), the corresponding LTE measurement scheduling module (4G physical layer) performs 4G inter-frequency measurement after completing the main mode tasks, and then sequentially performs inter-system scheduling measurement. It can be seen that in this way, the measurement scheduling modules corresponding to various network modes need to take into account the scheduling measurement of different network modes.

[0039] And usually, when the measurement scheduling module of the resident network mode performs inter-frequency measurement and inter-system measurement, it performs the measurements in a fixed order. For example, if the current resident network mode is LTE, it first performs 4G inter-frequency measurement, and then sequentially performs 5G inter-system measurement, 3G inter-system measurement, and 2G inter-system measurement, etc. In this way, it will cause the measurement positions to be scattered, the overall measurement time to be longer, and the power consumption of the electronic device to be higher. As Figure 2 shown, after the 4G physical layer completes the 4G main mode tasks (paging 201, intra-frequency measurement 202), it first performs 4G inter-frequency measurement. The measurement position of the inter-frequency CC2 cell in the LTE mode is the first measurement position 203. When performing 5G inter-system measurement, since the New Radio (NR) needs to be measured within a fixed time, that is, it needs to be measured within the Synchronization Signal Block-based RRM Measurement Timing Configuration (SMTC), as Figure 2As shown, the first SMTC corresponding to NR is 10 - 15 slots, and the second SMTC is 30 - 35 slots. The first SMTC 204 overlaps with the measurement position 203 of the 4G inter - frequency measurement. Therefore, the measurement position of the 5G inter - system measurement can only be arranged on the measurement position 205 corresponding to the second SMTC, and the inter - system NR CC1 cell is measured during this time. In this way, the duration of the entire measurement process is relatively long, and the measurement positions are scattered, resulting in the electronic device frequently sleeping and waking up.

[0040] Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, a cell measurement method is proposed. During the process of inter - frequency measurement and inter - system measurement, the central measurement scheduling module performs unified measurement scheduling, so that there is no need for the measurement scheduling modules corresponding to various network systems to take into account the measurement scheduling of the inter - system, and the measurement positions can be concentrated, the measurement time can be reduced, and thus the device power consumption can be lowered. The following will be described with exemplary embodiments.

[0041] Figure 3 The block diagram of a communication system provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. The communication system may include: an access network 32 and an electronic device 33.

[0042] The access network 32 includes several network devices 320. The network device 320 may be a base station, which is a device deployed in the access network to provide wireless communication functions for terminal devices. The base station may include various forms of macro - base stations, micro - base stations, relay stations, access points, etc. In systems adopting different radio access technologies, the name of the device with base - station functions may be different. For example, in the LTE system, it is called an evolved Node B (eNodeB); in the 5G NR - U system, it is called a gNodeB or gNB. With the evolution of communication technologies, the description of "base station" may change. For the convenience of the embodiments of the present application, the device that provides wireless communication functions for the above - mentioned electronic device 33 is collectively referred to as a network device.

[0043] The electronic device 33 may include various handheld devices, vehicle - mounted devices, wearable devices, computing devices or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem with wireless communication functions, as well as various forms of user equipment, Mobile Station (MS), terminal device, etc. For the convenience of description, the above - mentioned devices are collectively referred to as electronic devices. The network device 320 and the electronic device 33 communicate with each other through a certain air - interface technology, such as the Uu interface.

[0044] The cell measurement method provided by the embodiments of the present application is used for Figure 3 the electronic device 33 in the communication system shown.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 4 , which shows a flowchart of a cell measurement method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, it is described by taking the method as being executed by the electronic device 33 shown in Figure 3 as an example. The process includes the following steps:

[0046] Step 401, receive the measurement gap reported by the first measurement scheduling module and the measurement frequency point information reported by at least one second measurement scheduling module. The first measurement scheduling module is the measurement scheduling module corresponding to the resident network mode, and the second measurement scheduling module is the measurement scheduling module corresponding to the network mode to be measured.

[0047] Among them, the measurement gap refers to the duration during which the electronic device pauses communication with the serving cell to perform inter-frequency measurement or inter-system measurement. Optionally, the measurement gap can be configured by a network device such as a base station and sent to the electronic device.

[0048] In a possible implementation manner, a central measurement scheduling module is provided in the electronic device for unified scheduling of inter-frequency measurement and inter-system measurement. When the first measurement scheduling module corresponding to the resident network mode of the electronic device completes the main mode task, the inter-frequency measurement and inter-system measurement processes can be started. At this time, the first measurement scheduling module can report the measurement gap within the current Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle to the central measurement scheduling module.

[0049] And the central measurement scheduling module can receive the measurement frequency point information from the second measurement scheduling module. Among them, the second measurement scheduling module is the measurement scheduling module corresponding to the network mode to be measured, and the network mode to be measured includes at least one network mode, which can include the resident network mode, that is, perform inter-frequency measurement on the current resident network mode, or can include a network mode different from the resident network mode, that is, perform inter-system measurement.

[0050] Optionally, the measurement frequency point information includes the frequency points to be measured within the current DRX cycle for the network mode to be measured and the relevant information of the measurement frequency points.

[0051] Schematically, such as Figure 5As shown, when the current resident network mode is LTE, after the LTE measurement scheduling module 501 completes the main mode task, it can send a measurement gap to the central measurement scheduling module 502, so that the central measurement scheduling module starts to schedule inter-frequency measurement and inter-system measurement. The central measurement scheduling module can obtain measurement frequency point information at the to-be-measured network modes NR, LTE, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) for measurement scheduling.

[0052] Step 402: Based on at least one piece of measurement frequency point information, arrange measurement positions within the measurement gap to obtain a measurement position sequence.

[0053] After the central measurement scheduling module receives the measurement frequency point information of each to-be-measured network mode, it can arrange the measurement positions of each to-be-measured network mode according to the relevant information in the measurement frequency point information.

[0054] When the idle time of the electronic device is relatively long, it will be in a sleep state to reduce power consumption. When the interval distance between different measurement positions is relatively long, the electronic device will easily enter the sleep state and re-enter the wake-up state during each measurement. In this case, the electronic device may experience multiple sleep and wake-up cycles, resulting in high power consumption. Therefore, in a possible implementation manner, when arranging the measurement positions within the measurement gap, the central measurement scheduling module will target the concentrated measurement positions for arranging the measurement positions, so as to reduce the wake-up time of the electronic device and lower the power consumption of the electronic device.

[0055] Optionally, the measurement position is used to indicate the measurement time period of the to-be-measured network mode within the measurement gap. After the central measurement scheduling module completes the arrangement of the measurement positions, a measurement position sequence is obtained. The measurement position sequence contains the measurement positions of at least one to-be-measured network mode.

[0056] Step 403: Based on the measurement position sequence, send the measurement positions to the second measurement scheduling module so that the second measurement scheduling module performs cell measurement based on the measurement positions.

[0057] In a possible implementation manner, after the central measurement scheduling module arranges to obtain the measurement position sequence, it can send the corresponding measurement positions to the second measurement scheduling module according to the measurement position sequence. After receiving the measurement positions, the second measurement scheduling module can perform cell measurement according to the measurement time indicated by the measurement positions.

[0058] That is, in the embodiments of the present application, the first measurement scheduling module corresponding to the resident network mode only reports measurement gaps, and the second measurement scheduling module only reports measurement frequency point information, without the need to take into account inter-system measurements. This simplifies the measurement scheduling process and reduces the complexity of maintaining each measurement scheduling module.

[0059] In summary, in the embodiments of the present application, a central measurement scheduling module is provided in the electronic device. It can receive the measurement gaps reported by the measurement scheduling module corresponding to the resident network mode and the measurement frequency point information reported by the measurement scheduling module corresponding to the network mode to be measured. Then, according to the measurement frequency point information, it arranges the measurement positions of each network mode to be measured within the measurement gap, realizing unified scheduling of measurement positions. In this way, when performing inter-frequency measurement or inter-system measurement, there is no need for the measurement scheduling module corresponding to the resident network mode to take into account the measurement scheduling of the inter-system, simplifying the scheduling method; on the other hand, the central measurement scheduling module arranges the measurement positions uniformly, which can centralize the measurement positions and reduce the device power consumption.

[0060] In a possible implementation manner, when the central measurement scheduling module arranges the measurement positions, it will arrange them based on the arrangement priority corresponding to the network mode to be measured, where the arrangement priority is determined according to the relevant information included in the measurement frequency point information of the network mode to be measured. The following will be described with exemplary embodiments.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 6 , which shows a flowchart of a cell measurement method provided by another exemplary embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, it is described by taking the method as being executed by the electronic device 33 shown in Figure 3 as an example. The process includes the following steps:

[0062] Step 601, receive the measurement gaps reported by the first measurement scheduling module and the measurement frequency point information reported by at least one second measurement scheduling module.

[0063] The implementation manner of this step can refer to the above step 401, and will not be elaborated in this embodiment.

[0064] Step 602, determine the arrangement priority of each network mode to be measured, where the arrangement priority of the first type of network mode is higher than that of the second type of network mode, and the measurement frequency point information of the first type of network mode includes measurement time configuration.

[0065] When the central measurement scheduling module arranges the measurement positions of the network modes to be measured, it will first determine the arrangement priority of each network mode to be measured. In a possible implementation manner, the arrangement priority is determined according to whether the measurement frequency point information of the measurement network mode includes measurement time configuration.

[0066] Among them, the measurement time configuration is used to indicate the fixed measurement time of the network mode to be measured. When the measurement frequency point information of the network mode to be measured contains the measurement time configuration, it means that the network mode to be measured needs to be measured within the fixed measurement time indicated by the measurement time configuration, that is, its measurement position within the measurement gap is a fixed measurement position and cannot be arbitrarily arranged.

[0067] Optionally, the measurement frequency point information of the first type of network mode contains the measurement time configuration, that is, the measurement position of the first type of network mode is a fixed measurement position and needs to be arranged according to the position indicated by the measurement time configuration. The measurement frequency point information of the second type of network mode does not contain the measurement time configuration, and its measurement position is a non-fixed position and can be arranged at any position within the measurement gap. Since the first type of network mode has a fixed measurement position, the central measurement scheduling module first arranges the measurement positions of this type of network mode to avoid occupying the fixed measurement position of the first type of network mode after arranging the measurement positions of other network modes first, so that the measurement positions corresponding to the first type of network mode can only be arranged at the fixed measurement positions at a later time, resulting in a longer overall measurement time and more power consumption of the electronic device. That is, the arrangement priority of the first type of network mode is higher than that of the second type of network mode.

[0068] Step 603: Based on the arrangement priority and the measurement frequency point information of each network mode to be measured, arrange the measurement positions within the measurement gap to obtain a measurement position sequence.

[0069] After determining the arrangement priority of the network mode to be measured, the measurement frequency point information of each network mode to be measured can be obtained in turn according to the arrangement order indicated by the arrangement priority, and the measurement positions can be arranged according to the measurement frequency point information. In a possible implementation manner, first arrange the measurement positions corresponding to the first type of network mode within the measurement gap. After the arrangement of the measurement positions of the first type of network mode is completed, then arrange the measurement positions corresponding to the second type of network mode. This method may include steps 603a - 603c (not shown in the figure):

[0070] Step 603a: Based on the measurement time configuration of the first type of network mode, determine the candidate measurement positions of the first alternative frequency points belonging to the first type of network mode.

[0071] When arranging the measurement positions of the first type of network mode, the central measurement scheduling module will determine the fixed measurement positions of the first alternative frequency points belonging to the first type of network mode indicated by the measurement time configuration in the measurement frequency point information, so as to arrange the measurement positions of the first type of network mode.

[0072] In a possible implementation, the first type of network mode includes NR. When the network mode to be measured is NR, the main measurement object is the Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) signal. Among them, the SSB signal is not continuous in the time domain. Therefore, the electronic device does not need to perform continuous search and measurement. To reduce the measurement power consumption of the electronic device, the measurement configuration includes the measurement time configuration corresponding to the NR system, that is, the SSB measurement time configuration SMTC, so as to notify the electronic device of the timing for measuring the SSB, that is, to perform the measurement within the time window indicated by the SMTC.

[0073] When the first type of network mode is NR, the central measurement scheduling module determines the candidate measurement positions of each first alternative frequency point based on the SSB measurement time configuration SMTC included in the measurement frequency point information of NR. Optionally, the measurement position occupied by the SMTC corresponding to NR within the measurement gap is the candidate measurement position.

[0074] Optionally, in addition to including NR, the first type of network mode may also include other network modes with measurement time configurations. For example, when the measurement frequency point information of the network mode corresponding to the further evolved communication system includes the measurement time configuration, it also belongs to the first type of network mode. The following will use NR as the first type of network mode for illustrative purposes, but this does not constitute a limitation.

[0075] Step 603b, within the measurement gap, arrange the measurement positions of at least one first alternative frequency point based on the candidate measurement positions.

[0076] After the central measurement scheduling module determines the candidate measurement positions, it can arrange them according to the candidate measurement positions to obtain the measurement positions corresponding to at least one first alternative frequency point. In a possible implementation, the measurement frequency point information reported by the first type of network mode may include the measurement time configurations corresponding to different first alternative frequency points, and there may be an overlapping situation in the measurement time configurations corresponding to different first alternative frequency points. In the case of overlap, since the frequencies corresponding to different first alternative frequency points are different, the central measurement scheduling module needs to select one of the overlapping first alternative frequency points for measurement. Therefore, when arranging the measurement positions based on the candidate measurement positions, it is necessary to arrange them according to the overlapping relationship of the candidate measurement positions. This method may include the following steps:

[0077] Step 1: Arrange the measurement positions of the first alternative frequency points based on the overlapping relationship between the candidate measurement positions.

[0078] In a possible implementation, the central measurement scheduling module may start from the start position of the measurement gap to find the fixed measurement position corresponding to the SMTC of the first alternative frequency point. The start position of the measurement gap may be the end position of the main mode task, so that the measurement can start after the end of the main mode task, reducing the number of times the electronic device is woken up. When the fixed measurement positions corresponding to different first alternative frequency point SMTCs overlap, it is determined that there is an overlap in the candidate measurement positions.

[0079] Optionally, in the case where there is an overlap in the candidate measurement positions, the candidate measurement position with the longest time among the overlapping candidate measurement positions is arranged in the measurement gap.

[0080] When there is an overlap in the candidate measurement positions, the central measurement scheduling module needs to select one candidate measurement position from the overlapping candidate measurement positions and arrange it in the current position of the measurement gap. In a possible implementation, the measurement position with the longest time can be selected and arranged in the measurement gap. When the measurement time is relatively long, the probability of measuring the signal of the corresponding frequency point is higher. Therefore, the candidate measurement position with the longest time is selected and arranged in the measurement gap.

[0081] And after arranging the candidate measurement position with the longest time in the measurement gap, the first alternative frequency points corresponding to the unarranged candidate measurement positions among the overlapping candidate measurement positions can be deleted from the alternative frequency point list, that is, the corresponding first alternative frequency points are no longer measured. In a possible implementation, the measurement frequency point information reported by the second measurement scheduling module includes the frequency point numbers corresponding to different alternative frequency points, that is, the measurement frequency point information reported by the measurement scheduling module corresponding to the first type of network mode includes the frequency point numbers corresponding to each first alternative frequency point. When deleting the first alternative frequency points that are not arranged due to overlap from the alternative frequency point list, the frequency point numbers in the alternative frequency point list can be deleted.

[0082] Schematically, as Figure 7 shown, the current resident network mode is LTE. The central measurement scheduling module first arranges the measurement positions corresponding to NR. Among them, there is an overlapping relationship between the first candidate measurement position 701 and the second candidate measurement position 702 corresponding to NR. Among them, the measurement time corresponding to the second candidate measurement position 702 is greater than the measurement time corresponding to the first candidate measurement position 701. Therefore, the second candidate measurement position 702 is arranged in the measurement gap (10 - 30 slots), which is the measurement position of NR-CC1, that is, the measurement position corresponding to the first type of network mode.

[0083] Optionally, in the case where there is no overlap in the candidate measurement positions, the candidate measurement positions are arranged in the measurement gap. In this case, the central measurement scheduling module can directly arrange the candidate measurement positions in the measurement gap, which is the measurement position corresponding to the first type of network mode.

[0084] Schematic, such as Figure 7 As shown, there is no overlapping situation for the third candidate measurement position 703, and it can be directly arranged within the measurement gap, which is the measurement position of NR-CC2.

[0085] Step 2: Stop arranging when there is no gap in the measurement gap to accommodate the candidate measurement positions, or when the measurement positions of each first alternative frequency point are arranged.

[0086] In a possible implementation manner, the central measurement scheduling module arranges the measurement positions corresponding to the first type of network mode one by one. When the arrangement of each candidate measurement position of the first alternative frequency point corresponding to the first type of network mode is completed, the arrangement of the measurement positions of the first alternative frequency point can be stopped. Or, in another possible situation, when there is no gap in the current DRX cycle to accommodate the candidate measurement positions, the arrangement of the measurement positions of the first alternative frequency point is also stopped.

[0087] Step 603c: In the remaining measurement gap, based on the measurement frequency point information of the second type of network mode, arrange the measurement positions of the second alternative frequency points belonging to the second type of network mode to obtain a measurement position sequence.

[0088] After the arrangement of the measurement positions corresponding to the first type of network mode is completed, the central measurement scheduling module can continue to arrange the measurement positions of the second type of network mode in the remaining measurement gap. The remaining measurement gap refers to the measurement gap except for the measurement positions corresponding to the first type of network mode. During the arrangement process, the arrangement of the measurement positions corresponding to the second type of network mode can be completed according to the measurement durations of different second alternative frequency points belonging to the second type of network mode, so as to obtain the final measurement position sequence. Among them, arranging the measurement positions of the second alternative frequency points by using the measurement frequency point information of the second type of network mode may include the following steps:

[0089] Step 1: Based on the measurement frequency point information of the second type of network mode, determine the measurement durations of each second alternative frequency point.

[0090] In a possible implementation manner, the measurement frequency point information reported by the measurement scheduling module corresponding to the second type of network mode includes the measurement durations of each second alternative frequency point, that is, the measurement durations. The central measurement scheduling module arranges the measurement positions corresponding to each second alternative frequency point according to the measurement durations of each second alternative frequency point.

[0091] Step 2: Arrange the measurement positions of the second alternative frequency points in the remaining measurement gap according to the arrangement order indicated by the measurement duration, where the measurement duration and the arrangement order are in a positive correlation.

[0092] First, determine the arrangement order of each second alternative frequency point according to the measurement duration. Optionally, the measurement durations can be arranged from long to short to obtain a duration sequence, and the duration sequence corresponds to the arrangement order, that is, the second alternative frequency points with longer measurement durations are preferentially arranged, so that the measurement positions of the second alternative frequency points with shorter durations can be inserted into the subsequent gaps, concentrating the measurement positions and reducing the wake-up times of the electronic device. In a possible implementation manner, the implementation of this step may include the following steps:

[0093] Step 1: Arrange the measurement positions of each second alternative frequency point in sequence according to the arrangement order within the remaining measurement gaps.

[0094] The central measurement scheduling module arranges the measurement positions of the second alternative frequency points in sequence according to the arrangement order. Optionally, when arranging the measurement positions corresponding to the second alternative frequency points, they can be arranged between the measurement positions of the already arranged first alternative frequency points to concentrate the measurement positions. And it can be preferentially allocated within a short distance from the start position of the measurement gap. When there is no idle gap between the measurement positions of the first alternative frequency points, it can be arranged between the measurement position of the first alternative frequency point and the end position of the measurement gap.

[0095] Schematically, as Figure 7 shown, the measurement duration corresponding to the 4G inter-frequency measurement is longer than the measurement duration of the 3G inter-system measurement. Therefore, first arrange the measurement position of LTE-CC2, corresponding to the first measurement position 704, and then arrange the measurement position of UMTS-CC1, corresponding to the second measurement position 705. And the first measurement position 704 and the second measurement position 705 are within the gap between the NR measurement positions, thus concentrating the measurement positions.

[0096] And in a possible implementation manner, when the measurement durations of the second alternative frequency points are the same or approximate, the arrangement priority can be determined according to the evolution time of the corresponding network systems. Optionally, the second type of network systems may include at least one of LTE, UMTS, and GSM. Among them, the evolution time of GSM is earlier than that of UMTS, and the evolution time of UMTS is earlier than that of LTE. The arrangement priorities of the three network systems are LTE > UMTS > GSM. For example, when the measurement durations of the second alternative frequency point A and the second alternative frequency point B are the same, if the network system corresponding to the second alternative frequency point A is LTE and the network system corresponding to the second alternative frequency point B is UMTS, then the measurement position corresponding to the second alternative frequency point A can be preferentially arranged.

[0097] Step 2: Stop arranging when the measurement positions of each second alternative frequency point are arranged, or when there is no gap in the remaining measurement gaps to accommodate the remaining measurement duration.

[0098] After the central measurement scheduling module finishes arranging the measurement positions corresponding to each second alternative frequency point, it can stop arranging, so as to obtain a measurement position sequence including the measurement positions of the first alternative frequency point and the measurement positions of the second alternative frequency point.

[0099] Alternatively, in the remaining measurement gaps, when there is no measurement duration gap that can accommodate the unarranged second alternative frequency point, stop arranging to obtain the measurement position sequence.

[0100] In a possible implementation manner, as Figure 8 shown, the overall process of arranging measurement positions may include the following steps:

[0101] Step 801, start searching from the start position of the measurement gap for the candidate measurement positions corresponding to the SMTC of the first alternative frequency point within the current DRX cycle;

[0102] Step 802, determine whether there is an overlap in the candidate measurement positions. If so, execute Step 803. If not, execute Step 804;

[0103] Step 803, select the candidate measurement position with the longest time and arrange it within the measurement gap;

[0104] Step 804, arrange the candidate measurement positions within the measurement gap;

[0105] Step 805, determine whether the measurement positions corresponding to the first alternative frequency point are arranged completely, or whether there is no gap in the measurement gap that can accommodate the candidate measurement positions. If so, execute Step 806. If not, execute Step 802;

[0106] Step 806, arrange the measurement positions corresponding to the second alternative frequency point within the gaps of the measurement positions of the first alternative frequency point, where the measurement positions of the second alternative frequency point with a larger measurement duration are preferentially arranged;

[0107] Step 807, determine whether the measurement positions corresponding to the second alternative frequency point are arranged completely, or whether there is no idle gap in the remaining measurement gap. If so, execute Step 808. If not, execute Step 806.

[0108] Step 808, stop arranging the measurement positions to obtain the measurement position sequence.

[0109] Refer again to Figure 6 , then execute Step 604. Based on the measurement position sequence, send the measurement positions to the second measurement scheduling module so that the second measurement scheduling module can perform cell measurements based on the measurement positions.

[0110] The implementation manner of this step can refer to Step 403 above, and this embodiment will not be elaborated here.

[0111] In this embodiment, the central measurement scheduling module can flexibly arrange measurement positions according to the measurement characteristics of different network modes to be measured. It preferentially arranges the measurement positions for the first type of network mode whose measurement frequency point information contains measurement time configuration, so as to preferentially arrange the candidate measurement positions indicated in the measurement frequency point information within the measurement gap, complete the arrangement of the specific measurement positions required for the first type of network mode, and then scatter the measurement positions corresponding to the second type of network mode without specific measurement position requirements among the measurement positions of the first type of network mode, concentrating the measurement positions, thereby reducing the wake-up time of the electronic device and lowering the power consumption of the electronic device.

[0112] Moreover, when arranging the measurement positions, they are preferentially arranged at a short distance near the start position of the measurement gap, thereby reducing the number of times the electronic device sleeps and wakes up frequently and lowering the power consumption of the electronic device.

[0113] In a possible implementation manner, after receiving the measurement gap reported by the first measurement scheduling module, the central measurement scheduling module will query the measurement frequency point information of each alternative frequency point corresponding to the network mode to be measured, so as to arrange the measurement positions according to the measurement frequency point information. Moreover, the central measurement scheduling module can also obtain the cell measurement results at the second measurement scheduling module, evaluate the measurement results, and report the evaluation results to the protocol layer. Optionally, the overall measurement scheduling system architecture diagram is as Figure 9 shown. The central measurement scheduling module 901 can establish data connections with the measurement scheduling modules corresponding to various network modes, including the NR measurement scheduling module 902, the LTE measurement scheduling module 903, the UMTS measurement scheduling module 904, and the GSM measurement scheduling module 905. Among them, after receiving the measurement positions, the measurement scheduling modules corresponding to different network modes can call the corresponding physical layer resources for measurement. Moreover, the central measurement scheduling module 901 also establishes a data connection with the protocol layer 906 and can report the cell evaluation results to the protocol layer 906. The following will be specifically described with exemplary embodiments.

[0114] Please refer to Figure 10 , which shows a flowchart of a cell measurement method provided by another exemplary embodiment of the present application. This embodiment is described by taking the method as being executed by the electronic device 33 shown in Figure 3 as an example. The process includes the following steps:

[0115] Step 1001, in the case of receiving the measurement gap reported by the first measurement scheduling module, send a measurement frequency point request to at least one second measurement scheduling module, so that the second measurement scheduling module sends measurement frequency point information after receiving the measurement frequency point request.

[0116] After the central measurement scheduling module receives the measurement gaps reported by the first measurement scheduling module, it may send measurement frequency point requests to each second measurement scheduling module to query the relevant frequency point information of the frequency points to be measured.

[0117] Optionally, the second measurement scheduling module determines the measurement frequency point information after receiving the measurement frequency point request, where the measurement period of the resident network mode is less than that of other network modes.

[0118] In a possible implementation manner, after the second measurement scheduling module receives the measurement frequency point request, it will calculate the frequency points to be measured within the current DRX cycle and the relevant information of the frequency points to obtain the measurement frequency point information, and report the measurement frequency point information to the central measurement scheduling module. Among them, in the process of the second measurement scheduling module determining the measurement frequency point information, the measurement period can be determined according to the relationship between its own corresponding network mode and the resident network mode. If the network mode corresponding to the second measurement scheduling module is the resident network mode, a smaller measurement period can be used for measurement; if the network mode corresponding to the second measurement scheduling module is other network modes different from the resident network mode, a larger measurement period can be adopted, that is, the measurement of the resident network mode is more intensive than that of other network modes.

[0119] In a possible implementation manner, when the resident network modes are different, the corresponding network modes to be measured may be different. Schematically, when the resident network mode is LTE, the network modes to be measured may be NR, LTE, UMTS, and GSM, and the central measurement scheduling module may send measurement frequency point requests to the NR measurement scheduling module, LTE measurement scheduling module, UMTS measurement scheduling module, and GSM measurement scheduling module. Among them, the measurement period configured by the LTE measurement scheduling module will be less than that configured by other measurement scheduling modules. When the resident network mode is UMTS, the network modes to be measured may be LTE, UMTS, and GSM, and the central measurement scheduling module may send measurement frequency point requests to the LTE measurement scheduling module, UMTS measurement scheduling module, and GSM measurement scheduling module.

[0120] Step 1002, receive the measurement frequency point information reported by at least one second measurement scheduling module.

[0121] After each second measurement scheduling module determines its corresponding measurement frequency point information, it may send it to the central measurement scheduling module. The central measurement scheduling module receives the measurement frequency point information reported by each second measurement scheduling module.

[0122] Step 1003, based on at least one measurement frequency point information, perform measurement position arrangement within the measurement gap to obtain a measurement position sequence.

[0123] The implementation of this step can refer to Steps 602 and 603 above, and will not be elaborated in this embodiment.

[0124] Step 1004: Based on the measurement location sequence, send the measurement location to the second measurement scheduling module so that the second measurement scheduling module can perform cell measurement based on the measurement location.

[0125] After receiving the measurement location, the second measurement scheduling module performs measurement according to the time within the measurement gap indicated by the measurement location. Optionally, the second measurement scheduling module schedules the corresponding physical layer resources for cell measurement. Among them, the second measurement scheduling module can measure the signal strength of the cell reference signal.

[0126] Step 1005: Receive the measurement results reported by the second measurement scheduling module.

[0127] After the second measurement scheduling module completes the cell measurement, it reports the measurement results to the central measurement scheduling module. The central measurement scheduling module evaluates each measurement result to determine whether there is a cell that meets the reselection condition.

[0128] Step 1006: Perform cell reselection based on the measurement results.

[0129] Optionally, the central measurement scheduling module can determine whether the measured cell meets the cell reselection condition according to the magnitude relationship between the signal strength of the measured cell and the signal strength of the current serving cell. For example, it is evaluated according to the relationship between the reference signal receiving power (RSRP) of the measured cell and the RSRP of the current serving cell.

[0130] Step 1007: Report the cell reselection result.

[0131] When it is determined that the measurement results meet the cell reselection condition, the central measurement scheduling module can report the cells that meet the conditions to the protocol layer. The protocol layer can control the cell reselection process according to the cell reselection list.

[0132] In a possible implementation, the measurement scheduling process is as Figure 11As shown in the figure, in the NR / LTE / UMTS / GSM measurement scheduling module 1102, the first measurement scheduling module sends the measurement gap within the current DRX cycle to the central measurement scheduling module 1101. After receiving it, the central measurement scheduling module 1101 will send a measurement frequency point request to the second measurement scheduling module in the NR / LTE / UMTS / GSM measurement scheduling module 1102. After receiving the measurement frequency point request, the second measurement scheduling module sends the measurement frequency point information to the central measurement scheduling module 1101. The central measurement scheduling module 1101 uniformly arranges the measurement positions according to the measurement frequency point information. After the arrangement, it sends the corresponding measurement positions to each second measurement scheduling module. The second measurement scheduling module schedules the physical layer resources for cell measurement within the corresponding measurement time according to the measurement positions. After the measurement is completed, it reports the cell measurement results to the central measurement scheduling module 1101 so that the central measurement scheduling module 1101 can perform cell reselection. After obtaining the reselection cells that meet the cell reselection conditions, it sends the reselection cell list to the protocol layer 1103.

[0133] In this embodiment, the central measurement scheduling module performs the measurement position arrangement and the measurement result evaluation, so as to screen out the cells that meet the cell reselection conditions and report them to the protocol layer, without the need for the measurement scheduling modules corresponding to each network mode to do so, which simplifies the measurement process. Moreover, the second measurement scheduling module only needs to report the measurement frequency point information and the measurement results, and there is no need to take care of the measurement scheduling process anymore, which can reduce the complexity of maintaining the measurement scheduling modules corresponding to each network mode.

[0134] In a possible implementation manner, the cell measurement process is as Figure 12 shown. This process is described by taking the central measurement scheduling module as the execution subject as an example.

[0135] Step 1201: Receive the measurement gap within the current DRX cycle reported by the first measurement scheduling module corresponding to the resident network mode;

[0136] Step 1202: Send a measurement frequency point request to the second measurement scheduling module corresponding to the network mode to be measured;

[0137] Step 1203: Receive the measurement frequency point information reported by the second measurement scheduling module;

[0138] Step 1204: Perform measurement position arrangement to obtain a measurement position sequence;

[0139] Step 1205: Send the corresponding measurement positions to the second measurement scheduling module;

[0140] Step 1206: Receive the cell measurement results reported by the second measurement scheduling module;

[0141] Step 1207: Perform cell reselection based on the cell measurement results;

[0142] Step 1208, determine whether there is a cell that meets the reselection condition. If so, execute Step 1209; if not, execute Step 1201.

[0143] Step 1209, report the cell that meets the reselection condition to the protocol layer.
