Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, but is not limited thereto, and in particular, relates to a method, an apparatus, a communication device, and a storage medium for measuring a reference signal. Background Art

[0002] In mobile communication technologies, when a terminal communicates with a serving cell, the terminal also needs to measure signals of neighboring cells and other signals (for example, positioning reference signals used for terminal positioning). However, the terminal usually has only one radio frequency module. Therefore, when the terminal communicates with the serving cell, it can only use the single radio frequency module at different times to implement the measurement of different reference signals. Here, the time interval during which the terminal pauses communicating with the serving cell to implement mobility measurement of neighboring cells and / or positioning-related measurement, etc. is called a measurement interval.

[0003] In related technologies, when using the measurement interval to measure different reference signals, there is a problem of high power consumption, resulting in a short battery life of the terminal and a poor experience for users. Summary of the Invention

[0115] For the convenience of those skilled in the art to understand, the embodiments of the present disclosure list multiple implementation manners to clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Of course, those skilled in the art can understand that the multiple embodiments provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed separately, or can be executed together after being combined with the methods of other embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure, or can be executed alone or in combination with some methods in other related technologies; the embodiments of the present disclosure do not make any limitations in this regard.

[0116] To better understand the technical solutions described in any embodiment of the present disclosure, first, the measurement-related scenarios of the measurement reference signal are described:

[0117] In one embodiment, a measurement interval mechanism is defined for inter-cell mobility measurement and / or positioning-related measurement. Here, the inter-cell mobility measurement includes the measurement of the reference signal by the terminal for cell reselection and / or handover. The positioning-related measurement includes the measurement of the reference signal related to the positioning of the terminal.

[0118] In one embodiment, in the same frequency range (FR), a set of measurement interval configurations is configured for the measurement of different reference signals.

[0119] In one embodiment, in the same FR, the terminal can time-division measure different types of reference signals at the measurement intervals indicated by the same set of measurement interval configurations. For example, if the terminal needs to measure three different types of reference signals A, B, and C, and the same set of measurement interval configurations is configured for A, B, and C, then the terminal can time-division measure the three reference signals A, B, and C at the measurement intervals indicated by this measurement interval configuration.

[0120] In one embodiment, the reference signal can be one of the following: Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) reference signal, Channel-State Information reference Signal (CSI-RS), and Positioning Reference Signal (PRS).

[0121] Here, in the same frequency range, the configured values of the offsets of different reference signals need to be aligned, which affects the flexibility when the network configures parameters. For example, the measurement interval can only be configured at fixed time-domain positions and cannot be flexibly configured at different time-domain positions for different types of reference signals. In addition, sharing a set of measurement interval configurations for different reference signals will cause too long delays in mobility measurements or positioning-related measurements, affecting the measurement performance. Therefore, it is necessary to configure different measurement gaps (MG) for different reference signals.

[0122] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , part A shows the time for measuring the SSB reference signal, with the corresponding center frequency of f0, offset of offset 0, and period of 40 ms. Part B shows the time for measuring the CSI-RS, with the corresponding center frequency of f1, offset of offset 1, and period of 40 ms. Part C shows the time for measuring the positioning reference signal, with the corresponding center frequency of f2, offset of offset 2, and period of 80 ms. Part D shows the configured measurement gap for measuring the SSB reference signal, with the corresponding center frequency of f0, measurement interval offset of measurement interval offset 0, and period of 40 ms. Part E shows the configured measurement gap for measuring the CSI-RS, with the corresponding center frequency of f1, measurement interval offset of measurement interval offset 1, and period of 40 ms. Part F shows the measurement interval offset configured for measuring the positioning reference signal, with the corresponding center frequency of f2, measurement interval offset of measurement interval offset 2, and period of 80 ms. It should be noted that: parts E, F, and G are detailed illustrations and descriptions of the measurement gaps based on parts A, B, and C respectively.

[0123] As Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, a method for measuring a reference signal is provided, where the method is executed by a terminal, and the method includes:

[0124] Step 31: Determine an operation for measuring a reference signal based on measurement configuration information according to a predetermined time;

[0125] Among them, the measurement configuration information at least indicates different measurement intervals configured for different types of reference signals.

[0126] Here, the terminal can be but is not limited to a mobile phone, a wearable device, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a roadside unit (RSU), a smart home terminal, an industrial sensing device, and / or a medical device, etc.

[0127] In one embodiment, it can be that the terminal receives the measurement configuration information sent by the base station.

[0128] The base station can be an interface device for the terminal to access the network. Here, the base station can be various types of base stations, for example, a base station of the third-generation mobile communication (3G) network, a base station of the fourth-generation mobile communication (4G) network, a base station of the fifth-generation mobile communication (5G) network, or other evolved base stations.

[0129] In one embodiment, the reference signal includes at least one of the following:

[0130] SSB reference signal;

[0131] CSI-RS;

[0132] Positioning reference signal.

[0133] Here, the SSB reference signal and / or CSI-RS can be used for the mobility measurement of the neighboring cells of the terminal. The positioning reference signal can be used for the positioning measurement of the terminal.

[0134] In one embodiment, when the terminal communicates with the serving cell, it will pause the communication with the serving cell to implement mobility measurement and / or positioning measurement. For example, if the terminal needs to perform a mobility measurement at time A, then the terminal needs to pause the communication with the serving cell at time A to implement the mobility measurement.

[0135] In one embodiment, the predetermined time can include: a start time and an end time. For example, the start time is time a and the end time is time b.

[0136] In another embodiment, the predetermined time can include: a start time and a duration. For example, the start time is time c and the duration is d.

[0137] In one embodiment, the terminal can measure the reference signal based on the measurement configuration information within the time period determined by the start time and the end time. Or, the terminal can measure the reference signal based on the measurement configuration information within the time period determined by the start time and the duration.

[0138] In one embodiment, the predetermined time is determined according to the required power consumption of the terminal.

[0139] In one embodiment, in response to the required power consumption of the terminal being greater than the power consumption threshold, it is determined that the duration of the predetermined time is greater than the duration threshold; in response to the required power consumption of the terminal being less than the power consumption threshold, it is determined that the duration of the predetermined time is less than the duration threshold. Thus, the duration of the predetermined time can be adapted to the power consumption threshold.

[0140] In one embodiment, the terminal receives the information indicating the predetermined time sent by the base station; according to the predetermined time indicated by the information, an operation of measuring the reference signal based on the measurement configuration information is determined. Here, the terminal can receive the information indicating the predetermined time sent by the base station periodically, so that the predetermined time can be updated in a timely manner.

[0141] In one embodiment, in response to the terminal establishing a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with the base station, the terminal receives the information indicating the predetermined time sent by the base station. Here, after the terminal establishes an RRC connection with the base station, the terminal may send a request message for obtaining the predetermined time to the base station; after receiving the request message, the base station sends the information indicating the predetermined time to the terminal according to the request message.

[0142] In one embodiment, the terminal receives an RRC message sent by the base station carrying the information of the predetermined time.

[0143] In one embodiment, the terminal receives a random access message sent by the base station carrying the information of the predetermined time. Here, the random access message may be a random access message in a two-step random access or a four-step random access process.

[0144] Thus, carrying the information of the predetermined time in the RRC message or the random access message can improve the signaling compatibility of the RRC message and the random access message.

[0145] In one embodiment, in response to the measurement configuration information being in effect within the time range indicated by the predetermined time, the terminal can measure the reference signal based on the effective measurement configuration information. In another embodiment, in response to the measurement configuration information being invalid outside the time range indicated by the predetermined time, the terminal cannot measure the reference signal based on the invalid measurement configuration information. Here, in response to the measurement configuration information being invalid, the terminal stops measuring the reference signal. Here, a timer can be used to time the time.

[0146] In one embodiment, in response to the timing time of the timer being within the predetermined time, the reference signal is measured based on the measurement configuration information. In one embodiment, in response to the timing time of the timer being within the predetermined time and the measurement configuration information being in effect, the terminal can measure the reference signal based on the measurement configuration information.

[0147] In one embodiment, the reference signal is not measured in response to the timing time of the timer being outside the predetermined time. In one embodiment, in response to the timing time of the timer being outside the predetermined time, the measurement configuration information becomes invalid, and the terminal does not measure the reference signal. Here, the invalidation of the measurement configuration information may be the deletion of the measurement configuration information.

[0148] In one embodiment, in response to receiving the information of the predetermined time, the timer is started; wherein, the timing time period of the timer is the duration indicated by the predetermined time. Here, in response to the timing time period of the timer not ending, it is determined that the timing time is within the predetermined time; in response to the timing time period of the timer ending, it is determined that the timing time is outside the predetermined time.

[0149] In another embodiment, in response to the measurement condition of the neighboring cell being satisfied, the timer is started; wherein, the timing time period of the timer is the duration indicated by the predetermined time. Here, in response to the timing time period of the timer not ending, it is determined that the timing time is within the predetermined time; in response to the timing time period of the timer ending, it is determined that the timing time is outside the predetermined time. Here, the satisfaction of the measurement condition of the neighboring cell includes that the signal strength of the serving cell is less than the strength threshold and / or the signal strength of the neighboring cell is greater than the strength threshold.

[0150] In one embodiment, the information indicating the predetermined time is carried in the measurement configuration information. Here, it may be that within the predetermined time, the measurement configuration information becomes effective; outside the predetermined time, the measurement configuration information becomes invalid.

[0151] In one embodiment, in response to the terminal establishing an RRC connection with the base station, the terminal receives the measurement configuration information.

[0152] In one embodiment, the terminal receives an RRC message carrying the measurement configuration information.

[0153] In one embodiment, the terminal receives a random access message carrying the measurement configuration information. Here, the random access message may be a random access message in a two-step random access or a four-step random access process.

[0154] In one embodiment, the terminal receives a system message carrying the measurement configuration information.

[0155] Thus, carrying the measurement configuration information in the RRC message, the random access message or the system message can improve the signaling compatibility of the RRC message, the random access message or the system message.

[0156] In one embodiment, the measurement configuration information may be received periodically. Thus, the measurement interval configured for the terminal can be updated in a timely manner.

[0157] In one embodiment, the terminal sends a request message for obtaining measurement configuration information to the base station; the terminal receives the measurement configuration information sent by the base station according to the request message.

[0158] In one embodiment, the reference signal is a positioning reference signal for positioning measurement. The terminal sends a request message for obtaining the measurement configuration information of the positioning reference signal to the base station; the terminal receives the measurement configuration information sent by the base station according to the request message. Here, the request message may be a LocationMeasurementInfo request message.

[0159] In one embodiment, the terminal receives the measurement configuration information actively sent by the base station.

[0160] In one embodiment, the reference signal is the SSB reference signal for mobility measurement. The terminal receives the measurement configuration information of the SSB reference signal actively sent by the base station.

[0161] In one embodiment, the base station pre-sends information indicating the measurement object (MO, Measurement Object) of the reference signal to the terminal.

[0162] In one embodiment, in response to the measurement being a mobility measurement, the base station sends the information of the measurement object to the terminal. Wherein, the information of the measurement object indicates that the measurement reference signal measured by the terminal is the SSB reference signal and / or CSI-RS. At this time, the terminal performs mobility measurement based on the SSB reference signal and / or CSI-RS. Here, the base station may carry the information of the measurement object based on the MeasConfig.

[0163] In one embodiment, when the terminal communicates with the serving cell, the time interval during which the terminal pauses communicating with the serving cell to implement neighbor cell mobility measurement and positioning-related measurement, etc. is called the measurement interval. Here, when the measurement is neighbor cell mobility measurement, the reference signal may be the SSB reference signal and / or CSI-RS; when the measurement is positioning-related measurement, the reference signal may be the positioning reference signal.

[0164] In one embodiment, the measurement configuration information may indicate the offset of the measurement interval, the repetition period of the measurement interval, and / or the length of the measurement interval.

[0165] In one embodiment, the repetition period of the measurement interval is determined according to the required delay of the neighbor cell mobility measurement.

[0166] In one embodiment, in response to the required delay of the neighbor cell mobility measurement being less than the delay threshold, it is determined that the repetition period of the measurement interval is less than the period threshold; in response to the required delay of the neighbor cell mobility measurement being greater than the delay threshold, it is determined that the repetition period of the measurement interval is greater than the period threshold.

[0167] In one embodiment, the repetition period of the measurement interval is determined according to the required time delay of the positioning measurement.

[0168] In one embodiment, in response to the required time delay of the positioning measurement being less than the time delay threshold, it is determined that the repetition period of the measurement interval is less than the period threshold; in response to the required time delay of the positioning measurement being greater than the time delay threshold, it is determined that the repetition period of the measurement interval is greater than the period threshold.

[0169] Here, it should be noted that the smaller the repetition period of the measurement interval, the faster the terminal can obtain the measurement result. Therefore, the measurement time delay will be smaller.

[0170] In one embodiment, the length of the measurement interval is determined according to the required accuracy rate of the neighbor cell mobility measurement.

[0171] In one embodiment, in response to the required accuracy rate of the neighbor cell mobility measurement being less than the accuracy rate threshold, it is determined that the length of the measurement interval is less than the length threshold; in response to the required accuracy rate of the neighbor cell mobility measurement being greater than the accuracy rate threshold, it is determined that the length of the measurement interval is greater than the length threshold.

[0172] In one embodiment, the length of the measurement interval is determined according to the required accuracy rate of the positioning measurement.

[0173] In one embodiment, in response to the required accuracy rate of the positioning measurement being less than the accuracy rate threshold, it is determined that the length of the measurement interval is less than the length threshold; in response to the required accuracy rate of the positioning measurement being greater than the accuracy rate threshold, it is determined that the length of the measurement interval is greater than the length threshold.

[0174] Here, it should be noted that the longer the length of the measurement interval, the more accurate the measurement result will be. In one embodiment, the signal strength of the reference signal is continuously obtained within the time length corresponding to the length of the measurement interval. Then, the average value of the signal strengths obtained within this time length can be calculated and used as the final measurement result. Here, the longer the time length corresponding to the length of the measurement interval, the more accurate this average value will be.

[0175] In one embodiment, the measurement configuration information carries the measurement interval configuration of multiple different types of configured reference signals. Here, the reference signals may include: SSB reference signal, CSI-RS, and positioning reference signal. Among them, the measurement intervals configured for different types of reference signals are different. For example, the measurement interval of the SSB reference signal is the first measurement interval; the measurement interval of the CSI-RS is the second measurement interval; the measurement interval of the positioning reference signal is the third measurement interval.

[0176] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, an operation of measuring a reference signal based on measurement configuration information is determined according to a predetermined time; wherein the measurement configuration information at least indicates different measurement intervals configured for different types of reference signals. Here, since the operation of measuring the reference signal based on the measurement configuration information is determined according to the predetermined time, in this way, the terminal can measure the reference signal based on the measurement configuration information during the time period indicated by the predetermined time, and does not measure the reference signal during the time period not indicated by the predetermined time. Compared with the method of measuring the reference signal using the measurement configuration information at any time, it can reduce the power consumption, save electric energy, and extend the battery life of the terminal.

[0177] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be executed alone, or can be executed together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in the related art.

[0179] Step 41, in response to the timing time being within the predetermined time, determine to measure the reference signal based on the measurement configuration information; or, in response to the timing time being outside the predetermined time, determine not to measure the reference signal.

[0180] In one embodiment, it is possible to determine whether the measurement configuration information becomes effective according to the relationship between the timing time and the time range indicated by the predetermined time.

[0181] In one embodiment, in response to being within the time range indicated by the predetermined time, it is determined that the measurement configuration information becomes effective, and the terminal can measure the reference signal based on the effective measurement configuration information. In another embodiment, in response to being outside the time range indicated by the predetermined time, it is determined that the measurement configuration information becomes invalid, and the terminal cannot measure the reference signal based on the invalid measurement configuration information. Here, in response to the measurement configuration information becoming invalid, the terminal stops measuring the reference signal. In one embodiment, in response to the timing time being within the predetermined time, measure the reference signal based on the measurement configuration information. In one embodiment, in response to the timing time being within the predetermined time, it is determined that the measurement configuration information becomes effective, and the terminal can measure the reference signal based on the measurement configuration information. Here, a timer can be used for timing the timing time.

[0182] In one embodiment, in response to the timing time being outside the predetermined time, do not measure the reference signal. In one embodiment, in response to the timing time being outside the predetermined time, the measurement configuration information becomes invalid, and the terminal does not measure the reference signal. Here, the invalidation of the measurement configuration information may be that the measurement configuration information is deleted from the target storage area. Here, the measurement configuration information is stored in the target storage area.

[0183] In one embodiment, in response to receiving the information of the predetermined time, a timer is started; wherein, the timing period of the timer is the duration indicated by the predetermined time. Here, in response to the timing period of the timer not ending, it is determined that the timing time is within the predetermined time; in response to the timing period of the timer ending, it is determined that the timing time is outside the predetermined time.

[0184] In another embodiment, in response to the measurement condition of the neighboring cell being satisfied, a timer is started; wherein, the timing period of the timer is the duration indicated by the predetermined time. Here, in response to the timing period of the timer not ending, it is determined that the timing time is within the predetermined time; in response to the timing period of the timer ending, it is determined that the timing time is outside the predetermined time. Here, the satisfaction of the measurement condition of the neighboring cell includes that the signal strength of the serving cell is less than the strength threshold and / or the signal strength of the neighboring cell is greater than the strength threshold.

[0185] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in the related art.

[0186] As Figure 5 shown, a method for measuring a reference signal is provided in this embodiment, wherein, this method is executed by a terminal, and this method includes:

[0187] Step 51, determine whether the timing time is within the predetermined time according to the timing time of the timer;

[0188] Wherein, the timing period of the timer is the duration indicated by the predetermined time.

[0189] In one embodiment, the duration indicated by the predetermined time is an integer multiple of the measurement reporting period or the trigger event reporting period. For example, the duration indicated by the predetermined time is N times the measurement reporting period or the trigger event reporting period. Wherein, N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. Here, the measurement reporting period can be the period when the terminal sends the measurement result of the measurement reference signal to the base station. Here, the trigger event reporting period can be the period when the measurement event occurs and the information of the measurement event is sent to the base station.

[0190] In one embodiment, the timer counts time with the timing period of the timing time. In response to the end of the timing period of the timing time, the timing of the timer ends. Here, the end of the timing period of the timing time can be that the timer times out.

[0191] In one embodiment, in response to the timing period of the timer not ending, it is determined that the timing time is within the predetermined time; or, in response to the timing period of the timer ending, it is determined that the timing time is outside the predetermined time.

[0192] In one embodiment, in response to the timing time being within a predetermined time, determine to measure a reference signal based on measurement configuration information; or, in response to the timing time being outside the predetermined time, determine not to measure the reference signal.

[0193] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0194] As Figure 6 shown, a method for measuring a reference signal is provided in this embodiment. Among them, the method is executed by a terminal, and the method includes:

[0195] Step 61: In response to the period of the timing time of the timer not ending, determine that the timing time is within the predetermined time; or, in response to the period of the timing time of the timer ending, determine that the timing time is outside the predetermined time.

[0196] In one embodiment, the timer counts with the period of the timing time as the timing period. In response to the end of the period of the timing time, the timing of the timer ends. Among them, the period of the timing time of the timer is the duration indicated by the predetermined time.

[0197] In one embodiment, the duration indicated by the predetermined time is an integer multiple of the measurement reporting period or the trigger event reporting period. For example, the duration indicated by the predetermined time is N times the measurement reporting period or the trigger event reporting period. Among them, N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. Here, the measurement reporting period can be the period when the terminal sends the measurement result of the reference signal to the base station. Here, the trigger event reporting period can be the period when information about the measurement event is sent to the base station when the measurement event occurs.

[0198] In one embodiment, in response to the timing time being within a predetermined time, determine to measure a reference signal based on measurement configuration information; or, in response to the timing time being outside the predetermined time, determine not to measure the reference signal.

[0199] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0200] As Figure 7 shown, a method for measuring a reference signal is provided in this embodiment. Among them, the method is executed by a terminal, and the method includes:

[0201] Step 71: In response to the end of the period of the timing time of the timer, send indication information for deleting measurement configuration information to the base station.

[0202] Here, the end of the cycle of the timing time of the timer can be the completion of the measurement of the reference signal. For example, in response to the end of the cycle of the timing time, it is determined that the measurement of the positioning reference signal is completed.

[0203] In one embodiment, the measurement configuration information may indicate the offset of the measurement interval, the repetition period of the measurement interval, and / or the length of the measurement interval.

[0204] In one embodiment, after sending the indication information for deleting the measurement configuration information to the base station, the base station deletes the measurement configuration information; the terminal receives the response message sent by the base station for deleting the measurement configuration information.

[0205] In one embodiment, in response to the end of the cycle of the timing time of the timer, the terminal deletes the measurement reference configuration stored in the target area. Here, the measurement configuration information is stored in the target storage area in advance. In one embodiment, in response to the deletion of the measurement configuration information, the terminal cannot measure the reference signal based on the measurement configuration information.

[0206] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in the related art.

[0207] As Figure 8 shown, a method for measuring a reference signal is provided in this embodiment. Among them, the method is executed by the terminal, and the method includes:

[0208] Step 81, start a timer in response to the signal strength of the serving cell and / or neighboring cells being within a threshold range.

[0209] In one embodiment, start a timer in response to the signal strength of the serving cell being less than the first strength threshold and the signal strength of the neighboring cell being greater than the second strength threshold. Here, when the signal strength of the serving cell is less than the first strength threshold and the signal strength of the neighboring cell is greater than the second strength threshold, the terminal can perform signal measurement of the neighboring cell.

[0210] In one embodiment, the timer counts with the cycle of the timing time as the timing period. In response to the end of the cycle of the timing time, the timing of the timer ends. Among them, the cycle of the timing time of the timer is the duration indicated by the predetermined time.

[0211] In one embodiment, the duration indicated by the predetermined time is an integer multiple of the measurement reporting period or the triggering event reporting period. For example, the duration indicated by the predetermined time is N times the measurement reporting period or the triggering event reporting period. Here, N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. Here, the measurement reporting period may be the period during which the terminal sends the measurement result of the measurement reference signal to the base station. Here, the triggering event reporting period may be the period during which the information of the measurement event is sent to the base station when the measurement event occurs.

[0212] In one embodiment, in response to the expiration period of the timer not ending, it is determined that the timing time is within the predetermined time; or, in response to the expiration of the timer's timing period, it is determined that the timing time is outside the predetermined time.

[0213] In one embodiment, in response to the timing time being within the predetermined time, it is determined to measure the reference signal based on the measurement configuration information; or, in response to the timing time being outside the predetermined time, it is determined not to measure the reference signal.

[0214] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0215] As Figure 9a shown, a method for measuring a reference signal is provided in this embodiment. Among them, this method is executed by the terminal, and this method includes:

[0216] Step 91, in response to the measurement intervals configured for different reference signals overlapping in the time domain position, time-division measure different reference signals at the overlapping time domain positions; or, in response to the measurement intervals configured for different reference signals not overlapping in the time domain position, measure different reference signals based on the measurement intervals configured for the reference signals.

[0217] In one embodiment, the measurement intervals configured for different reference signals may completely or partially overlap in the time domain position.

[0218] In one embodiment, in response to being within the predetermined time and the measurement intervals configured for different reference signals completely or partially overlapping in the time domain position, different reference signals can be time-division measured at the overlapping positions. In this way, different reference signals can share the overlapping time domain positions, and the measurements between different reference signals will not affect each other. For example, the time domain position indicated by the measurement interval of the SSB reference signal is A, and the time domain position indicated by the measurement interval of the CSI-RS is B. Among them, A and B can completely or partially overlap in the time domain position, and the overlapping part is C. Then the terminal can time-division measure the SSB reference signal and the CSI-RS at C.

[0219] In one embodiment, the measurement intervals of some of the different reference signals overlap in the time domain position. For example, the different reference signals include SSB reference signals, CSI-RS, and positioning reference signals. The measurement intervals of some of the reference signals overlapping in the time domain position can be that the measurement intervals of the SSB reference signals and the CSI-RS overlap in the time domain position. However, the positioning reference signal does not overlap with the SSB reference signal in the time domain position and the positioning reference signal does not overlap with the CSI-RS in the time domain position.

[0220] In one embodiment, time-division measurement of different reference signals can be to measure the reference signals in a continuous manner at overlapping time domain positions. That is: after measuring a certain reference signal, then measure another reference signal. For example, the different reference signals include SSB reference signals and CSI-RS. The time domain position indicated by the measurement interval of the SSB reference signal is A, and the time domain position indicated by the measurement interval of the CSI-RS is B. Among them, A and B partially overlap in the time domain position, and the overlapping part is C. Then the terminal can perform time-division measurement of the SSB reference signal and the CSI-RS on C. Please refer to Figure 9b , it can be at the overlapping time domain position C, measure SSB at the first time domain position part of C, and then measure CSI-RS at the second time domain position part of C after the measurement of the SSB reference signal is completed. Among them, the first time domain position part and the second time domain position part are separated by a dotted line.

[0221] In one embodiment, time-division measurement of different reference signals can be to measure the reference signals in an alternating manner at overlapping time domain positions. For example, the different reference signals include SSB reference signals and CSI-RS. It can be at the overlapping time domain position, first measure the SSB reference signal, then measure the CSI-RS, then test the SSB reference signal again, and then measure the CSI-RS... and so on. Please refer to Figure 9c , it can be at the overlapping time domain position C, measure SSB at the first time domain position part of C, measure CSI-RS at the second time domain position part, measure SSB at the third time domain position part, measure CSI-RS at the fourth time domain position part, measure SSB at the fifth time domain position part... and so on.

[0222] In one embodiment, the measurement intervals configured for different reference signals may not overlap with each other in the time domain position. Thus, the reference signal can be measured at the time domain position of the measurement interval corresponding to the reference signal. Here, since the measurement intervals of different reference signals do not overlap with each other in the time domain position, the measurements between different reference signals will not affect each other.

[0223] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0224] like Figure 10 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for measuring a reference signal, wherein the method is executed by a terminal and includes:

[0225] Step 101: Different reference signals are measured in a time-division manner at overlapping time domain positions according to the priorities of the reference signals.

[0226] In one embodiment, at the overlapping time domain positions, the reference signal corresponding to the high priority is measured first, and then the reference signal corresponding to the low priority is measured.

[0227] For example, if the measurement priority of the SSB reference signal is different from the measurement priority of the CSI-RS, and the measurement priority of the SSB reference signal is higher than the measurement priority of the CSI-RS, the SSB reference signal is measured before the CSI-RS at the overlapping time domain position.

[0228] In one embodiment, the priority of the SSB reference signal is higher than the priority of the CSI-RS. Here, when the measurement interval of the SSB reference signal coincides with the measurement interval of the CSI-RS, the measurement of the SSB reference signal is performed preferentially.

[0229] In one embodiment, the priority of the SSB reference signal is higher than the priority of the positioning reference signal. When the measurement interval of the SSB reference signal coincides with the measurement interval of the positioning reference signal, the measurement of the SSB reference signal is performed preferentially.

[0230] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0231] like Figure 11 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for measuring a reference signal, wherein the method is executed by a terminal and includes:

[0232] Step 111: Alternately measure different reference signals at overlapping time domain positions.

[0233] In one embodiment, when measuring different reference signals in a time-sharing manner, the reference signals may be measured in an alternating manner at overlapping time domain positions.

[0234] For example, different reference signals include SSB reference signals and CSI-RS, and they can be at overlapping time domain positions. First, measure the SSB reference signal, then measure the CSI-RS, then measure the SSB reference signal again, and then measure the CSI-RS... and so on. Please refer to again Figure 9c , it is possible to measure the SSB at the first time domain position part of C, measure the CSI-RS at the second time domain position part of C, measure the SSB at the third time domain position part of C, measure the CSI-RS at the fourth time domain position part of C, measure the SSB at the fifth time domain position part of C... and so on at the overlapping time domain position C.

[0235] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0236] Such as Figure 12 As shown, a method for measuring a reference signal is provided in this embodiment. Among them, the method is executed by a terminal, and the method includes:

[0237] Step 121: Alternately measure N reference signals in response to at least two of the N measurement intervals of any N reference signals among different reference signals overlapping; where N is an integer greater than 1.

[0238] In one embodiment, different reference signals include 3 types: SSB reference signal, positioning reference signal, and CSI-RS; among them, the time intervals of the SSB reference signal and the CSI-RS overlap in the time domain position. At the overlapping time domain position, first measure the SSB reference signal, then measure the CSI-RS, then measure the SSB reference signal again, and then measure the CSI-RS... and so on. Please refer to again Figure 9c , it is possible to measure the SSB at the first time domain position part of C, measure the CSI-RS at the second time domain position part of C, measure the SSB at the third time domain position part of C, measure the CSI-RS at the fourth time domain position part of C, measure the SSB at the fifth time domain position part of C... and so on at the overlapping time domain position C.

[0239] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0240] Such as Figure 13 As shown, a method for measuring a reference signal is provided in this embodiment. Among them, the method is executed by a terminal, and the method includes:

[0241] Step 131: Send a request message for obtaining measurement configuration information to the base station;

[0242] Step 132. Receive the measurement configuration information sent by the base station according to the request message.

[0243] In one embodiment, in response to the establishment of an RRC connection between the terminal and the base station, the terminal receives the measurement configuration information.

[0244] In one embodiment, the terminal receives an RRC message carrying the measurement configuration information.

[0245] In one embodiment, the terminal receives a random access message carrying the measurement configuration information. Here, the random access message may be a random access message in a two-step random access or a four-step random access process.

[0246] In one embodiment, the terminal receives a system message carrying the measurement configuration information.

[0247] Thus, carrying the measurement configuration information in the RRC message, the random access message, or the system message can improve the signaling compatibility of the RRC message, the random access message, or the system message.

[0248] In one embodiment, the measurement configuration information may be received periodically. Thus, the measurement interval configured for the terminal can be updated in a timely manner.

[0249] In one embodiment, the reference signal is a positioning reference signal for positioning measurement. The terminal sends a request message for obtaining the measurement configuration information of the positioning reference signal to the base station; the terminal receives the measurement configuration information sent by the base station according to the request message. Here, the request message may be a LocationMeasurementInfo request message.

[0250] In one embodiment, the terminal receives the measurement configuration information actively sent by the base station.

[0251] In one embodiment, the reference signal is an SSB reference signal for mobility measurement. The terminal receives the measurement configuration information of the SSB reference signal actively sent by the base station.

[0252] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone, or can be executed together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0253] As Figure 14 shown, a method for measuring a reference signal is provided in this embodiment. Among them, the method is executed by the terminal, and the method includes:

[0254] Step 141. Receive the information of the measurement object sent by the base station;

[0255] Among them, the information of the measurement object indicates that the reference signal is an SSB reference signal and / or a CSI-RS.

[0256] In one embodiment, the measurement is a mobility measurement. The base station sends the information of the measurement object to the terminal. The information of the measurement object indicates that the measurement reference signal measured by the terminal is an SSB reference signal and / or a CSI-RS. At this time, the terminal performs a mobility measurement based on the SSB reference signal and / or the CSI-RS. Here, the base station may send the information of the measurement object based on the measurement configuration signaling (MeasConfig).

[0257] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can understand that the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be executed alone or together with some methods in the embodiments of the present disclosure or some methods in related technologies.

[0258] As Figure 15 shown, a method for a measurement reference signal is provided in this embodiment. Among them, the method is executed by a base station, and the method includes:

[0259] Step 151, sending measurement configuration information to the terminal;

[0260] Among them, the measurement configuration information is used for the terminal to determine an operation of measuring a reference signal based on the measurement configuration information according to a predetermined time; the measurement configuration information at least indicates different measurement intervals configured for different types of reference signals.

[0261] Here, the terminal may be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a wearable device, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a roadside unit (RSU), a smart home terminal, an industrial sensing device, and / or a medical device, etc.

[0262] The base station may be an interface device for the terminal to access the network. Here, the base station may be various types of base stations, for example, a base station of a third-generation mobile communication (3G) network, a base station of a fourth-generation mobile communication (4G) network, a base station of a fifth-generation mobile communication (5G) network, or other evolved base stations.

[0263] In one embodiment, the reference signal includes at least one of the following:

[0264] SSB reference signal;

[0265] CSI-RS;

[0266] Positioning reference signal.

[0267] Here, the SSB reference signal and / or the CSI-RS may be used for mobility measurement of neighboring cells of the terminal. The positioning reference signal may be used for positioning measurement of the terminal.

[0268] In one embodiment, when the terminal communicates with the serving cell, it pauses the communication with the serving cell to perform mobility measurement and / or positioning measurement. For example, at time A, if the terminal needs to perform mobility measurement, then the terminal needs to pause the communication with the serving cell at time A to perform the mobility measurement.

[0269] In one embodiment, the predetermined time may include a start time and an end time. For example, the start time is time a and the end time is time b.

[0270] In another embodiment, the predetermined time may include a start time and a duration. For example, the start time is time c and the duration is d.

[0271] In one embodiment, the terminal may measure the reference signal based on the measurement configuration information within the time period determined by the start time and the end time. Alternatively, the terminal may measure the reference signal based on the measurement configuration information within the time period determined by the start time and the duration.

[0272] In one embodiment, the base station may determine the predetermined time according to the required power consumption of the terminal.

[0273] In one embodiment, in response to the required power consumption of the terminal being greater than the power consumption threshold, it is determined that the duration of the predetermined time is greater than the duration threshold; in response to the required power consumption of the terminal being less than the power consumption threshold, it is determined that the duration of the predetermined time is less than the duration threshold. Thus, the duration of the predetermined time can be adapted to the power consumption threshold.

[0274] In one embodiment, the terminal receives the information indicating the predetermined time sent by the base station; according to the predetermined time indicated by the information, it determines the operation of measuring the reference signal based on the measurement configuration information. Here, the terminal may receive the information indicating the predetermined time sent by the base station periodically, so that the predetermined time can be updated in a timely manner.

[0275] In one embodiment, in response to the terminal establishing a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with the base station, it receives the information indicating the predetermined time sent by the base station. Here, after the terminal establishes an RRC connection with the base station, the terminal may send a request message for obtaining the predetermined time to the base station; after receiving the request message, the base station sends the information indicating the predetermined time to the terminal according to the request message.

[0276] In one embodiment, the terminal receives an RRC message carrying the information of the predetermined time sent by the base station.

[0277] In one embodiment, the terminal receives a random access message carrying the information of the predetermined time sent by the base station. Here, the random access message may be a random access message in a two-step random access or a four-step random access process.

[0278] In this way, carrying the information of the predetermined time in the RRC message or the random access message can improve the signaling compatibility of the RRC message and the random access message.

[0279] In one embodiment, in response to the measurement configuration information becoming effective within the time range indicated by the predetermined time, the terminal can measure the reference signal based on the effective measurement configuration information. In another embodiment, in response to the measurement configuration information becoming invalid outside the time range indicated by the predetermined time, the terminal cannot measure the reference signal based on the invalid measurement configuration information. Here, in response to the measurement configuration information becoming invalid, the terminal stops measuring the reference signal. Here, a timer can be used to time the timing time.

[0280] In one embodiment, in response to the timing time of the timer being within the predetermined time, measure the reference signal based on the measurement configuration information. In one embodiment, in response to the timing time of the timer being within the predetermined time and the measurement configuration information becoming effective, the terminal can measure the reference signal based on the measurement configuration information.

[0281] In one embodiment, in response to the timing time of the timer being outside the predetermined time, do not measure the reference signal. In one embodiment, in response to the timing time of the timer being outside the predetermined time and the measurement configuration information becoming invalid, the terminal does not measure the reference signal. Here, the invalidation of the measurement configuration information can be the deletion of the measurement configuration information.

[0282] In one embodiment, in response to receiving the information of the predetermined time, start the timer; wherein, the timing time period of the timer is the duration indicated by the predetermined time. Here, in response to the timing time period of the timer not ending, determine that the timing time is within the predetermined time; in response to the timing time period of the timer ending, determine that the timing time is outside the predetermined time.

[0283] In another embodiment, in response to the measurement conditions of the neighboring cell being satisfied, start the timer; wherein, the timing time period of the timer is the duration indicated by the predetermined time.

[0285] In one embodiment, in response to the terminal establishing an RRC connection with the base station, the terminal receives the measurement configuration information.

[0286] In one embodiment, the terminal receives an RRC message carrying measurement configuration information.

[0296] In one embodiment, in response to the measurement being a mobility measurement, the base station sends the information of the measurement object to the terminal. Among them, the information of the measurement object indicates that the measurement reference signal measured by the terminal is an SSB reference signal and / or a CSI-RS. At this time, the terminal performs mobility measurement based on the SSB reference signal and / or the CSI-RS. Here, the base station may carry the information of the measurement object based on the MeasConfig signaling.

Then, the average value of the signal strengths obtained within this time length can be calculated, and this average value is used as the final measurement result. Here, the longer the time length corresponding to the length of the measurement interval, the more accurate this average value will be.
