[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a block diagram of a communication system provided by an exemplary embodiment of this application. The communication system includes: a terminal 101 and a network device 102.

[0036] The terminal 101 includes a UE (User Equipment), an access terminal, a user unit, a user station, a mobile station, a mobile unit, a remote station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a wireless communication device, a user agent, or a user device. Optionally, the terminal 101 may further include a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) phone, a WLL (Wireless Local Loop) station, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a handheld device with wireless communication capabilities, a computing device, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a terminal in a 5GS (5th Generation System), or a terminal in a future evolved PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network).

[0037] The network device 102 is a device deployed in the access network to provide wireless communication functions for the terminal 101. The network device 102 includes various forms of macro base stations, micro base stations, relay stations, access points, etc. Exemplarily, in the LTE (Long Term Evolution) system, the network device 102 is the EUTRAN (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network) or one or more eNodeBs (the name of the base station in the LTE system) in the EUTRAN; in the 5G NR (New Radio) system, the network device 102 is the RAN (Radio Access Network) or one or more gNBs (the name of the base station in the 5G NR system) in the RAN.

The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0039] The network architecture and service scenarios described in the embodiments of the present application are to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application. Those skilled in the art know that with the evolution of the network architecture and the emergence of new service scenarios, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are equally applicable to similar technical problems.

[0040] Figure 2 The flowchart of a cell configuration method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. Refer to Figure 2 This method includes:

[0041] 201. The terminal receives the measurement configuration information sent by the network device, and the measurement configuration information indicates to measure the signal strength of the first cell.

[0042] The first cell refers to any cell other than the current serving cell of the terminal. For example, the first cell is a neighbor cell of the current serving cell. Among them, the current serving cell refers to the cell to which the terminal has randomly accessed, and the terminal can perform data transmission with the network device through this cell. The first cell is the cell to which the terminal has not randomly accessed yet.

[0043] Optionally, the measurement configuration information includes the identifier of the first cell to be measured, or the measurement configuration information includes the first frequency band to be measured, and the terminal determines the first cell corresponding to the first frequency band based on the correspondence between the frequency band and the cell. The number of the first cells is one or more, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0044] Optionally, the measurement configuration information also carries a signal threshold. Correspondingly, the measurement configuration information indicates that when the signal strength of the current serving cell of the terminal is less than the signal threshold, the signal strength of the first cell is measured.

[0045] Optionally, the measurement configuration information also indicates reporting the signal strength of the measured first cell. For example, the measurement configuration information indicates that when the signal strength of the measured first cell meets the reporting condition, the signal strength of the first cell is reported to the network device. Among them, according to needs, the reporting condition can be set to any condition, for example, the signal strength of the first cell is greater than the reference threshold.

[0046] 202. In response to the measurement configuration information, when the first cell and the current serving cell of the terminal meet the carrier aggregation condition, the terminal measures the signal strength of the first cell.

[0047] That the first cell and the current serving cell meet the carrier aggregation condition means that the terminal supports carrier aggregation between the first cell and the current serving cell, that is, the terminal can send data through the first cell and the current serving cell together, thereby expanding the transmission bandwidth.

[0048] Optionally, the terminal can determine whether the first cell and the current serving cell of the terminal meet the carrier aggregation condition in any way, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0049] 203. The terminal reports the signal strength of the first cell to the network device.

[0050] Optionally, when the measurement configuration information indicates that when the signal strength of the first cell meets the reporting condition, the signal strength is reported to the network device, after the terminal measures the signal strength of the first cell, it first determines whether the signal strength meets the reporting condition, and when it determines that the signal strength meets the reporting condition, it reports the signal strength of the first cell to the network device.

[0051] After reporting the signal strength of the first non-server cell to the network device, the network device can then, based on the signal strength, instruct the terminal to add the first cell as a secondary cell. That is, the network device sends the first configuration information to the terminal, and instructs the terminal to add the first cell as a secondary cell through the first configuration information. Optionally, the first configuration information includes information such as the identifier of the first cell.

[0052] Optionally, when the signal strength of the first cell of the network device meets the cell configuration condition, the network device sends the first configuration information to the terminal. For example, the cell configuration condition is that the signal strength is greater than a reference threshold. Wherein, the reference threshold can be set to any value as needed.

[0053] Optionally, in addition to the signal strength of the first cell, the network device also combines other information to send the first configuration information. For example, when the signal strength of the first cell is greater than the reference threshold, the network device also refers to the signal strength of the current serving cell. When the signal strength of the current serving cell is lower than a certain threshold, the first configuration information is sent. Or, the network device also refers to the current required data volume. When the required data volume is greater than a certain threshold, the first configuration information is sent. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0054] 204. When the terminal receives the first configuration information sent by the network device based on the signal strength, the terminal adds the first cell as a secondary cell.

[0055] Wherein, the embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific process of the terminal adding the first cell as a secondary cell. For example, after receiving the first configuration information, the terminal initiates a random access process to the first cell, thereby adding the first cell as a secondary cell.

[0056] The embodiments of the present application provide a cell configuration scheme. For the cell to be measured indicated by the measurement configuration information sent by the network device, if the cell meets the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell of the terminal, it indicates that the terminal supports carrier aggregation between the cell and the current serving cell. That is, after adding the cell as a secondary cell of the terminal, the terminal can transmit data based on the secondary cell and the existing serving cell together. In this case, when the terminal measures and reports the signal strength of the cell to the network device, it can prompt the network device to indicate the terminal to add the cell as a secondary cell based on the signal strength, ensuring that the secondary cell added by the terminal meets the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell, enabling the terminal to expand the transmission bandwidth through the current serving cell and the secondary cell, thereby increasing the data transmission volume.

[0057] Figure 2 The illustrated embodiment describes measuring the signal strength of the first cell when the first cell meets the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell of the terminal. Figure 3 The illustrated embodiment also describes measuring the signal strength of the first cell in other cases.

[0058] Figure 3 Shows a flowchart of a cell configuration method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Refer to Figure 3 This method includes:

[0059] 301. The terminal receives the measurement configuration information sent by the network device, and the measurement configuration information indicates to measure the signal strength of the first cell.

[0060] For the implementation method of this step, please refer to step 201 above, which will not be elaborated here. It should be noted that after the terminal executes step 301, it executes step 302 or step 303, and then executes step 304.

[0061] 302. In response to the measurement configuration information, when the first cell and the current serving cell of the terminal meet the carrier aggregation condition, the terminal measures the signal strength of the first cell.

[0062] In a possible implementation method, the terminal determines whether the first cell and the current serving cell meet the carrier aggregation condition by querying the target set. That is, in response to the measurement configuration information, the terminal determines whether the target set includes the carrier aggregation pair composed of the current serving cell and the first cell. When the target set includes the carrier aggregation pair composed of the current serving cell and the first cell, it is determined that the first cell and the current serving cell meet the carrier aggregation condition, and then the terminal measures the signal strength of the first cell.

[0063] Among them, the target set includes at least one carrier aggregation pair, and each carrier aggregation pair includes two cells. The two cells meet the carrier aggregation condition, that is, the terminal supports carrier aggregation between the two cells and can transmit data through the two cells together. Optionally, the target set is in the form of a list, and multiple carrier aggregation pairs are arranged in sequence in this list. Optionally, this target set is called CA_pair_list (Carrier aggregation_pair_list, carrier aggregation pair list).

[0064] In the embodiments of the present application, by forming a carrier aggregation pair with two cells that meet the carrier aggregation condition and storing them in the target set, the terminal can quickly determine whether the cell in the measurement configuration information and the current serving cell meet the carrier aggregation condition by querying the target set, so as to advance the measurement time point and reporting time point of the cell that meets the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell, and further advance the time point of adding a secondary cell, thus greatly improving the efficiency of adding a secondary cell.

[0065] In another possible implementation, the terminal determines whether the carrier aggregation condition is satisfied between the first cell and the current serving cell based on the terminal's capability information. For example, the terminal's capability information indicates the maximum frequency difference between two cells that the terminal supports for carrier aggregation, that is, the maximum difference between the frequency points corresponding to these two cells. Accordingly, the terminal determines the difference between the frequency points corresponding to the first cell and the current serving cell. If the difference is not greater than the maximum frequency difference, it is determined that the carrier aggregation condition is satisfied between the first cell and the current serving cell. For another example, the terminal's capability information also indicates the frequency range supported by the terminal. Accordingly, when the frequency point corresponding to the first cell is within this frequency range and the difference between the frequency points corresponding to the first cell and the current serving cell is not greater than the maximum frequency difference, it is determined that the carrier aggregation condition is satisfied between the first cell and the current serving cell.

[0066] Optionally, the measurement configuration information indicates that when the signal strength of the current serving cell is less than the signal threshold, measure the signal strength of the first cell. Accordingly, when the terminal determines that the carrier aggregation condition is satisfied between the first cell and the current serving cell of the terminal, it ignores the measurement condition indicated by the measurement configuration information. That is, when the terminal determines that the carrier aggregation condition is satisfied between the first cell and the current serving cell, regardless of whether the signal strength of the current serving cell is greater than, equal to, or less than the signal threshold, the terminal will measure the signal strength of the first cell. In this way, even if the signal strength of the current serving cell is greater than or equal to the signal threshold, the measurement of the first cell will not be delayed. That is, the terminal can measure the signal strength of the first cell in time and report this signal strength to the network device, so that the network device can indicate to the terminal to add the first cell as a secondary cell as early as possible. In this way, the terminal can add the secondary cell as early as possible, thereby expanding the data transmission bandwidth as early as possible and increasing the peak rate of data transmission, ultimately improving the user experience.

[0067] For example, the measurement configuration information is a reconfiguration message sent by the network device, and the signal threshold is s-Measure Config (s-measurement configuration) in the reconfiguration message.

[0068] Optionally, in response to the measurement configuration information, when the carrier aggregation condition is satisfied between the first cell and the current serving cell of the terminal and the current is in a non-weak field, the terminal measures the signal strength of the first cell. Since in a weak field, the network connection between the terminal and the current serving cell may be interrupted at any time. Therefore, even if the signal strength of the first cell is measured, the terminal may not be able to report this signal strength to the network device through the current serving cell. Therefore, the terminal measures the signal strength of the first cell only in a non-weak field to avoid invalid measurements and thus save terminal resources.

[0069] 303. When the terminal does not meet the carrier aggregation condition between the first cell and the current serving cell, and the signal strength of the current serving cell is less than the signal threshold, the terminal measures the signal strength of the first cell.

[0070] Optionally, this step includes: when the target set does not include the carrier aggregation pair composed of the first cell and the current serving cell, and it is determined based on the terminal's capability information that the carrier aggregation condition is not met between the first cell and the current serving cell, if the signal strength of the current serving cell is less than the signal threshold, the terminal measures the signal strength of the first cell.

[0071] In the embodiments of the present application, considering that the signal strength of the current serving cell is less than the signal threshold, it indicates that the signal quality of the current serving cell is poor. Therefore, when the carrier aggregation condition is not met between the first cell and the current serving cell, but the signal strength of the current serving cell is less than the signal threshold, the terminal measures the signal strength of the first cell and reports the signal strength of the first cell to the network device. Then, the network device can, based on the signal strength of the current serving cell and the signal strength of the first cell, instruct the terminal to perform cell handover, that is, instruct the terminal to configure the first cell as the current serving cell. In this way, the signal strength of the current serving cell can also be improved, enhancing the user experience. Moreover, considering that the first cell is very likely a cell with relatively low current load determined by the network device, therefore, the terminal reporting the signal strength of the first cell to the network device as early as possible is beneficial to configuring the first cell with relatively low load as the current serving cell as early as possible, so that the terminal can obtain more transmission resources. From the perspective of the cell, it can accelerate the realization of load balancing.

[0072] Optionally, when the terminal does not meet the carrier aggregation condition between the first cell and the current serving cell, and the measurement configuration information does not indicate the measurement condition of the first cell, the terminal measures the signal strength of the first cell. For example, the measurement configuration information does not carry the signal threshold corresponding to the current serving cell, that is, the measurement configuration information does not indicate that when the signal strength of the current serving cell is less than the signal threshold, the terminal measures the signal strength of the first cell. Then, even if the carrier aggregation condition is not met between the first cell and the current serving cell, the terminal will measure the signal strength of the first cell and report it to the network.

[0073] In the embodiments of the present application, considering that when the measurement configuration information does not indicate the measurement condition of the first cell, the network device is very likely to perform other operations based on the signal strength of the first cell in addition to instructing the terminal to add a secondary cell. Therefore, measuring and reporting the signal strength of the first cell facilitates the network device to perform other operations based on this signal strength.

[0074] Optionally, when the terminal does not meet the carrier aggregation condition between the first cell and the current serving cell and the signal strength of the current serving cell is not less than the signal threshold, the terminal does not measure the signal strength of the first cell.

[0075] 304. The terminal reports the signal strength of the first cell to the network device.

[0076] 305. When the terminal receives the first configuration information sent by the network device based on the signal strength, the terminal adds the first cell as a secondary cell.

[0077] Optionally, after adding the first cell as a secondary cell (SCell), the terminal has two serving cells. Among them, the original serving cell of the terminal is called the primary cell (PCell).

[0078] For the implementation manners of steps 304-305, please refer to the above steps 203-204, which will not be elaborated here.

[0079] The following describes the implementation manner of storing carrier aggregation pairs in the target set:

[0080] First, add a carrier aggregation pair to the target set based on the cell configuration information for adding a secondary cell sent by the network device.

[0081] The terminal receives the second configuration information sent by the network device, and the second configuration information instructs the terminal to add the second cell as a secondary cell. Correspondingly, in response to the second configuration information, when the second cell and the current serving cell meet the carrier aggregation condition, the terminal adds the second cell as a secondary cell, and when the target set does not include the carrier aggregation pair composed of the second cell and the current serving cell, adds the carrier aggregation pair to the target set. Among them, the second configuration information is sent by the network device under any circumstances, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0082] In this application embodiment, the network device instructs the terminal to add the second cell as a secondary cell through the second configuration information, and the second cell and the current serving cell meet the carrier aggregation condition, which indicates that the terminal can add the second cell as a secondary cell this time, and also indicates that there is a great possibility that the second cell will be added as a secondary cell later. Therefore, the terminal adds the second cell as a secondary cell this time and adds the carrier aggregation pair composed of the second cell and the current serving cell to the target set. Subsequently, it can quickly determine whether the second cell and the current serving cell meet the carrier aggregation condition based on this carrier aggregation pair, thereby improving the efficiency of adding a secondary cell.

[0083] Second, add a carrier aggregation pair to the target set based on the measurement configuration information sent by the network device.

[0084] The terminal receives measurement configuration information sent by a network device, and the measurement configuration information indicates measuring the signal strength of a first cell. In response to the measurement configuration information, when the target set does not include the carrier aggregation pair formed by the first cell and the current serving cell, and it is determined based on the terminal's capability information that the carrier aggregation condition is satisfied between the first cell and the current serving cell, the terminal adds the carrier aggregation pair formed by the first cell and the current serving cell to the target set. Since the first cell in the measurement configuration information sent by the network device satisfies the carrier aggregation condition, it is very likely that the first cell will be subsequently indicated by the network device to be added as a secondary cell of the terminal. Therefore, by adding the carrier aggregation pair formed by the first cell and the current serving cell to the target set, it will be possible to quickly determine whether the carrier aggregation condition is satisfied between the first cell and the current serving cell based on this carrier aggregation pair, thereby improving the efficiency of adding a secondary cell.

[0085] Optionally, the measurement configuration information is the measurement configuration information received by the terminal in the idle state or the deactivated state. For example, the measurement configuration information is Idle Early Measurement. The Idle Early Measurement is configured with a meas Idle Carrier List, which includes the frequency point corresponding to the first cell. After receiving the Idle Early Measurement, the terminal determines the first cell corresponding to the frequency point based on the frequency point in the meas Idle Carrier List, measures the signal strength of the first cell, and reports the signal strength of the first cell to the network device. Since the first cell indicated by the Idle Early Measurement is very likely to be subsequently indicated by the network device to be added as a secondary cell, when the target set does not include the carrier aggregation pair formed by the first cell and the current serving cell, and it is determined based on the terminal's capability information that the carrier aggregation condition is satisfied between the first cell and the current serving cell, the terminal adds the carrier aggregation pair formed by the first cell and the current serving cell to the target set. Then, the terminal can subsequently quickly determine whether the carrier aggregation condition is satisfied between the first cell and the current serving cell based on this carrier aggregation pair, thereby improving the efficiency of adding a secondary cell.

[0086] Optionally, after the terminal receives the Idle Early Measurement in the idle state or the deactivated state, if the timer (T331) is running, the terminal measures the signal strength of the cells corresponding to the frequency points in the meas Idle Carrier List. If the timer is not currently configured for the terminal or the timer is not running, the terminal does not measure the signal strength of the cells corresponding to the frequency points in the meas Idle Carrier List. However, regardless of whether the timer is configured for the terminal and regardless of whether the timer is running, when the target set does not include the carrier aggregation pair formed by the first cell and the current serving cell, and it is determined based on the terminal's capability information that the carrier aggregation condition is satisfied between the first cell and the current serving cell, the terminal adds the carrier aggregation pair formed by the first cell and the current serving cell to the target set.

[0087] Optionally, the measurement configuration information is the measurement configuration information received by the terminal in the connected state. For example, the measurement configuration information is a reconfiguration message that carries the frequency point corresponding to the first cell and the A4 condition, where the A4 condition is the condition that the signal strength of the first cell needs to satisfy. The reconfiguration message instructs the terminal to report to the network device when the A4 event is measured. Among them, the A4 event means that the signal strength of the first cell satisfies the A4 condition. Correspondingly, after receiving the reconfiguration message, the terminal measures the signal strength of the first cell and reports the signal strength of the first cell to the network device after the signal strength of the first cell satisfies the A4 event. Since it is very likely that the first cell indicated by the reconfiguration message will be instructed by the network device to be added as a secondary cell in the future, when the target set does not include the carrier aggregation pair formed by the first cell and the current serving cell, and it is determined based on the terminal's capability information that the carrier aggregation condition is satisfied between the first cell and the current serving cell, and the carrier aggregation pair formed by the first cell and the current serving cell is added to the target set, then the terminal can subsequently quickly determine whether the carrier aggregation condition is satisfied between the first cell and the current serving cell based on this carrier aggregation pair, thereby improving the efficiency of adding secondary cells.

[0088] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the process for creating a carrier aggregation pair. Refer to Figure 4 , when the terminal receives the cell configuration information sent by the network device, it creates a carrier aggregation pair formed by the cell indicated by the cell configuration information and the current serving cell. When the terminal receives the measurement configuration information sent by the network device, it creates a carrier aggregation pair formed by the cell indicated by the measurement configuration information and the current serving cell. Then, the carrier aggregation pair is added to the target set.

[0089] The embodiment of the present application provides a cell configuration solution. For a cell to be measured indicated by the measurement configuration information sent by a network device, if the cell meets the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell, it indicates that the terminal supports carrier aggregation between the cell and the current serving cell. That is, after adding the cell as a secondary cell of the terminal, the terminal can transmit data based on the secondary cell and the existing serving cell together. In this case, when the terminal measures and reports the signal strength of the cell to the network device, it can prompt the network device to instruct the terminal to add the cell as a secondary cell based on the signal strength, ensuring that the secondary cell added by the terminal meets the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell, so that the terminal can expand the transmission bandwidth through the current serving cell and the secondary cell, thereby increasing the data transmission volume.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, by forming a carrier aggregation pair with two cells that meet the carrier aggregation condition and storing them in the target set, the terminal can quickly determine whether the cell in the measurement configuration information meets the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell by querying the target set, so as to advance the measurement time point and reporting time point of the cell that meets the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell, and further advance the time point of adding the secondary cell. Therefore, the efficiency of adding the secondary cell is greatly improved.

[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, if the network device instructs the terminal to add a second cell as a secondary cell through the second configuration information, and the second cell meets the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell, it indicates that the terminal can add the second cell as a secondary cell this time, and at the same time, it also indicates that there is a high probability that the second cell will be added as a secondary cell later. Therefore, the terminal adds the second cell as a secondary cell this time and adds the carrier aggregation pair composed of the second cell and the current serving cell to the target set. Subsequently, it can quickly determine whether the second cell meets the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell based on the carrier aggregation pair, thereby improving the efficiency of adding the secondary cell.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, since the first cell in the measurement configuration information sent by the network device meets the carrier aggregation condition, there is a high probability that the first cell will be instructed by the network device to be added as a secondary cell of the terminal later. Therefore, when the target set does not include the carrier aggregation pair composed of the first cell and the current serving cell, and it is determined based on the capability information of the terminal that the first cell meets the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell, the carrier aggregation pair composed of the first cell and the current serving cell is added to the target set. Subsequently, it can quickly determine whether the first cell meets the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell based on the carrier aggregation pair, thereby improving the efficiency of adding the secondary cell.

[0093] In an embodiment of the present application, when the signal strength of the current serving cell is less than the signal threshold, it indicates that the signal quality of the current serving cell is poor. Therefore, the carrier aggregation condition is not satisfied between the first cell and the current serving cell. However, when the signal strength of the current serving cell is less than the signal threshold, the terminal measures the signal strength of the first cell and reports the signal strength of the first cell to the network device. Then, the network device can, based on the signal strength of the current serving cell and the signal strength of the first cell, instruct the terminal to perform a cell handover, that is, instruct the terminal to configure the first cell as the current serving cell. In this way, the signal strength of the current serving cell can be improved and the user experience can be enhanced. Moreover, considering that the first cell is very likely to be a cell with a relatively low current load determined by the network device, therefore, the terminal reporting the signal strength of the first cell to the network device as early as possible is beneficial to configuring the first cell with a lower load as the current serving cell as early as possible, so that the terminal can obtain more transmission resources.

[0094] Figure 5 FIG. shows a flowchart of a cell configuration method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application, which describes the process of adding a secondary cell when the network device instructs to measure the signal strengths of multiple cells, and the multiple cells include a first cell that satisfies the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell and a third cell that does not satisfy the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell. Refer to Figure 5 , the method includes:

[0095] 501. The terminal receives the measurement configuration information sent by the network device, and the measurement configuration information instructs to measure the signal strengths of the first cell and the third cell.

[0096] After the terminal executes step 501, it executes steps 502-504 and steps 505-506.

[0097] 502. In response to the measurement configuration information, when the carrier aggregation condition is satisfied between the first cell and the current serving cell of the terminal, the terminal measures the signal strength of the first cell.

[0098] 503. The terminal reports the signal strength of the first cell to the network device.

[0099] In a possible implementation manner, the measurement configuration information further instructs that when the signal strength of any measured cell satisfies the reporting condition, the signal strength of that cell is reported. Optionally, after the terminal finishes measuring the signal strength of the first cell, it determines whether the signal strength of the first cell satisfies the reporting condition. After the determination of the signal strength of the first cell, if the signal strength of the first cell satisfies the reporting condition, the terminal reports the signal strength of the first cell to the network device.

[0100] 504. When the terminal receives the first configuration information sent by the network device based on the signal strength, the terminal adds the first cell as a secondary cell.

[0101] For the specific implementation manners of steps 502 - 504, please refer to the embodiments Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown above, which will not be elaborated here.

[0102] 505. In response to the measurement configuration information, when the carrier aggregation condition is not met between the third cell and the current serving cell, and the signal strength of the current serving cell is less than the signal threshold, if the measurement of the first cell is completed, the terminal measures the signal strength of the third cell.

[0103] After receiving the measurement configuration information, if the carrier aggregation condition is met between the first cell and the current serving cell of the terminal, the carrier aggregation condition is not met between the third cell and the current serving cell, and the signal strength of the current serving cell is less than the signal threshold, then it is determined that the signal strengths of the first cell and the third cell need to be measured. Then the terminal first measures the signal strength of the first cell. If the measurement of the first cell is completed, then the terminal measures the signal strength of the third cell. That is to say, when measuring the signal strength of the first cell, the terminal does not need to consider the measurement progress of the third cell, while when measuring the signal strength of the third cell, the terminal needs to consider the measurement progress of the first cell. Only when the measurement of the first cell is completed can the measurement be carried out to avoid the measurement of the third cell delaying the measurement of the first cell.

[0104] In the embodiments of the present application, considering that the carrier aggregation condition is met between the first cell and the current serving cell, and the carrier aggregation condition is not met between the third cell and the current serving cell, therefore, the signal strength of the first cell is preferentially measured. Only when the measurement of the signal strength of the first cell is completed, the signal strength of the third cell is measured, which can avoid the measurement of the signal strength of the third cell delaying the measurement of the signal strength of the first cell, so as to measure the signal strength of the first cell as early as possible, and then configure the first cell as a secondary cell as early as possible, improving the efficiency of configuring the first cell as a secondary cell.

[0105] 506. When the signal strengths of both the first cell and the third cell meet the reporting conditions, if the reporting of the signal strength of the first cell is completed, the terminal reports the signal strength of the third cell.

[0106] In a possible implementation, the measurement configuration information further indicates that when the signal strength of any cell being measured meets the reporting condition, the signal strength of that cell is reported. After the terminal measures the signal strength of the third cell, if it has already determined whether the signal strength of the first cell meets the reporting condition, it then determines whether the signal strength of the third cell meets the reporting condition. That is, when determining the signal strength of the first cell, the terminal does not need to consider the determination progress of the third cell, while when determining the signal strength of the third cell, it needs to consider the determination progress of the first cell, and can only make the determination after the determination of the first cell is completed, so as to avoid the determination of the third cell delaying the determination of the first cell. Then, when the terminal determines that the signal strength of the third cell meets the reporting condition, if the reporting of the signal strength of the first cell is completed, it reports the signal strength of the third cell. That is, when reporting the signal strength of the first cell, the terminal does not need to consider the reporting progress of the third cell, while when reporting the signal strength of the third cell, it needs to consider the reporting progress of the first cell, and can only make the report after the reporting of the first cell is completed, so as to avoid the reporting of the third cell delaying the reporting of the first cell.

[0107] In the embodiment of the present application, considering that the first cell and the current serving cell meet the carrier aggregation condition, while the third cell and the current serving cell do not meet the carrier aggregation condition, therefore, the signal strength of the first cell is preferentially reported, and only when the reporting of the signal strength of the first cell is completed, the signal strength of the third cell is reported, which can avoid the reporting of the signal strength of the third cell delaying the reporting of the signal strength of the first cell, thereby reporting the signal strength of the first cell as early as possible, and then configuring the first cell as a secondary cell as early as possible, improving the efficiency of configuring the first cell as a secondary cell.

[0108] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the execution order of step 504 and steps 505 - 506.

[0109] For example, the measurement frequency points indicated by the measurement configuration information include frequency point 1, frequency point 2, and frequency point 3. Among them, the cell corresponding to frequency point 2 satisfies the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell, while the cells corresponding to frequency point 1 and frequency point 3 do not satisfy the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell. Then, the terminal does not measure and report the signal strengths of the cells corresponding to each frequency point in the order of frequency point 1, frequency point 2, and frequency point 3. Instead, it preferentially measures and reports the signal strength of the cell corresponding to frequency point 2. After the signal strength measurement of the cell corresponding to frequency point 2 is completed, it measures the signal strengths of the cells corresponding to frequency point 1 and frequency point 3. After the signal strength reporting of the cell corresponding to frequency point 2 is completed, it reports the signal strengths of the cells corresponding to frequency point 1 and frequency point 3. That is to say, the measurement and reporting priorities of the cells that satisfy the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell are high, and the measurement and reporting priorities of other cells that do not satisfy the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell are low. Therefore, only after the measurement of the cell that satisfies the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell is completed can the signal strengths of other cells be measured, and only after the measurement reporting of the cell that satisfies the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell is completed can the signal strengths of other cells be reported, so as to ensure that the measurement and reporting of the cell that satisfies the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell are not affected.

[0110] Figure 6 Schematic diagram of a process for adding a secondary cell provided by an embodiment of this application. Refer to Figure 6, the terminal receives the measurement configuration information sent by the network device, and the measurement configuration information indicates to measure the signal strengths of multiple cells. Then the terminal determines whether there is a cell among the multiple cells that meets the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell. If there is, then it determines whether the measurement configuration information configures a measurement condition, where the measurement condition is that the signal strength of the current serving cell is less than a signal threshold. If this measurement condition is configured, it determines whether the current serving cell is less than the signal threshold. If it is not less than the signal threshold, then it ignores this measurement condition and only measures the signal strength of this cell, without measuring the signal strengths of the cells among the multiple cells that do not meet the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell. If the measurement condition is not configured, or the measurement condition is configured and the signal strength of the current serving cell is less than the signal threshold, then it preferentially measures and reports the signal strength of the cell that meets the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell. When the measurement of the signal strength of this cell is completed, it measures the signal strengths of the other cells indicated by the measurement configuration information. When the reporting of the signal strength of this cell is completed, it reports the signal strengths of the other cells indicated by the measurement configuration information. Additionally, if there is no cell among the multiple cells in the measurement configuration information that meets the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell, then it determines whether the measurement configuration information configures a measurement condition. If this measurement condition is not configured, it sequentially measures and reports the signal strength of each cell in the order indicated by the measurement configuration information. If this measurement condition is configured, it determines whether the current serving cell is less than the signal threshold. If it is less than the signal threshold, it sequentially measures and reports the signal strength of each cell in the order indicated by the measurement configuration information. If it is not less than the signal threshold, then it does not perform the measurement reporting operation. After reporting the signal strength of any cell to the network device, if the network device instructs the terminal to add a secondary cell through the cell configuration information, then the terminal adds the secondary cell based on the cell configuration information.

[0111] Figure 7 It is a schematic diagram of the process of adding a secondary cell in the related art. Refer to Figure 7, the terminal is in the connected state, and the network device sends measurement configuration information to the terminal. The measurement configuration information carries measurement conditions (i.e., the signal strength of the current serving cell is less than the signal threshold). Then, when the signal strength of the current serving cell is less than the signal threshold, the terminal starts measuring other cells outside the current serving cell. And, in the order of multiple frequency points in the measurement configuration information, the terminal measures the signal strength of the cells corresponding to each frequency point in turn, and reports the signal strength of the cells that meet the reporting conditions. Then the network device sends cell configuration information, and the terminal adds a secondary cell based on this cell configuration information. Since the terminal measures the signal strength of the cells corresponding to each frequency point in the order of multiple frequency points in the measurement configuration information, if the arrangement order of the frequency points corresponding to the cells that do not meet the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell is before the frequency points corresponding to the cells that meet the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell, then the measurement of the cells that meet the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell is later than the measurement of the cells that do not meet the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell, which affects the measurement of the cells that meet the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell, and further delays the time point of adding the cells that meet the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell as secondary cells.

[0112] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the process of adding a secondary cell provided by an embodiment of the present application. Refer to Figure 8 , the terminal is in the connected state, and the network device sends measurement configuration information to the terminal. The measurement configuration information carries measurement conditions (i.e., the signal strength of the current serving cell is less than the signal threshold). Then, when any cell corresponding to a frequency point in the measurement configuration information meets the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell, without waiting for the signal strength of the current serving cell to be less than the signal threshold, the terminal directly measures this cell, and when the signal strength of this cell meets the reporting conditions, reports the signal strength of this cell. Then the network device sends cell configuration information, and the terminal adds a secondary cell based on this cell configuration information. Then, when the signal strength of the current serving cell is less than the signal threshold, the terminal starts measuring the cells corresponding to other frequency points in the measurement configuration information. Then the terminal measures the signal strength of the cells that do not meet the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell corresponding to other frequency points. It can be seen that compared with Figure 7 the process of adding a secondary cell shown in Figure 8 the process of adding a secondary cell shown in, the time point of adding a secondary cell is advanced. The advanced time length includes a first time length and a second time length. The first time length is the time length of waiting for the signal strength of the current serving cell to be less than the signal threshold, that is, the time length from receiving the measurement configuration information to the signal strength of the current serving cell being less than the signal threshold. The second time length is the measurement time length of other cells that are arranged in front of the cells that meet the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell.

[0113] An embodiment of the present application provides a cell configuration scheme. For a cell to be measured indicated by the measurement configuration information sent by a network device, if the cell meets the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell, it indicates that the terminal supports carrier aggregation between the cell and the current serving cell. That is, after adding the cell as a secondary cell of the terminal, the terminal can transmit data based on the secondary cell and the existing serving cell together. In this case, when the terminal measures and reports the signal strength of the cell to the network device, it can prompt the network device to instruct the terminal to add the cell as a secondary cell based on the signal strength, ensuring that the secondary cell added by the terminal meets the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell, so that the terminal can expand the transmission bandwidth through the current serving cell and the secondary cell, thereby increasing the data transmission volume.

[0114] In the embodiment of the present application, considering that the first cell meets the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell, and the third cell does not meet the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell. Therefore, the signal strength of the first cell is preferentially measured, and when the measurement of the signal strength of the first cell is completed, the signal strength of the third cell is measured. This can avoid the measurement of the signal strength of the third cell delaying the measurement of the signal strength of the first cell, so as to measure the signal strength of the first cell as early as possible, and then configure the first cell as a secondary cell as early as possible, improving the efficiency of configuring the first cell as a secondary cell.

[0115] In the embodiment of the present application, considering that the first cell meets the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell, and the third cell does not meet the carrier aggregation condition with the current serving cell. Therefore, the signal strength of the first cell is preferentially reported, and when the reporting of the signal strength of the first cell is completed, the signal strength of the third cell is reported. This can avoid the reporting of the signal strength of the third cell delaying the reporting of the signal strength of the first cell, so as to report the signal strength of the first cell as early as possible, and then configure the first cell as a secondary cell as early as possible, improving the efficiency of configuring the first cell as a secondary cell.

[0121] The cell addition module 904 is configured to, when receiving the first configuration information sent by the network device based on the signal strength, add the first cell as a secondary cell.

[0122] The embodiment of the present application provides a cell configuration scheme. For the cell to be measured indicated by the measurement configuration information sent by the network device, if the carrier aggregation condition is satisfied between this cell and the current serving cell, it indicates that the terminal supports carrier aggregation between this cell and the current serving cell. That is, after adding this cell as a secondary cell of the terminal, the terminal can transmit data based on this secondary cell and the existing serving cell together. In this case, the terminal measures and reports the signal strength of this cell to the network device, which can prompt the network device to instruct the terminal to add this cell as a secondary cell based on the signal strength, ensuring that the secondary cell added by the terminal and the current serving cell satisfy the carrier aggregation condition, enabling the terminal to expand the transmission bandwidth through the current serving cell and this secondary cell, thereby increasing the data transmission volume.

[0125] In a possible implementation manner, the information receiving module 901 is further configured to receive the second configuration information sent by the network device, and the second configuration information instructs the terminal to add the second cell as a secondary cell.

[0126] The cell addition module 904 is further configured to, in response to the second configuration information, add the second cell as a secondary cell when the carrier aggregation condition is satisfied between the second cell and the current serving cell, and add a carrier aggregation pair to the target set when the target set does not include a carrier aggregation pair composed of the second cell and the current serving cell.

[0127] In a possible implementation, the cell addition module 904 is further configured to, in response to measurement configuration information, add a carrier aggregation pair formed by the first cell and the current serving cell to the target set when the target set does not include the carrier aggregation pair formed by the first cell and the current serving cell, and the carrier aggregation condition is satisfied between the first cell and the current serving cell based on the capability information of the terminal.

[0128] In a possible implementation, the signal measurement module 902 is further configured to measure the signal strength of the first cell when the carrier aggregation condition is not satisfied between the first cell and the current serving cell, and the signal strength of the current serving cell is less than the signal threshold; and report the signal strength of the first cell to the network device.

[0129] In a possible implementation, the measurement configuration information further indicates to measure the signal strength of a third cell, where the third cell is a cell other than the current serving cell. The signal measurement module 902 is further configured to measure the signal strength of the third cell when the carrier aggregation condition is not satisfied between the third cell and the current serving cell, and the signal strength of the current serving cell is less than the signal threshold, and if the measurement of the first cell is completed.

[0130] In a possible implementation, the measurement configuration information further indicates to report the signal strength of a cell when the signal strength of any measured cell satisfies the reporting condition. The signal reporting module 903 is further configured to report the signal strength of the third cell if the reporting of the signal strength of the first cell is completed when the signal strengths of both the first cell and the third cell satisfy the reporting condition.
