Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application. The application number of the original application is 202080099987.0, and the original application date is April 21, 2020. The entire contents of the original application are incorporated into this application by reference. Technical Field

[0002] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of communication technology, and in particular, to a measurement configuration method, device, and storage medium. Background Art

[0003] In the New Radio (NR) communication system, the network can configure the terminal to measure the received power, received quality, signal-to-noise and interference ratio, etc. of the reference signal of the target neighboring cell of the same frequency, different frequency or heterogeneous network in a specific time window. The specific time window is the measurement gap (MG).

[0004] In addition to the operating frequency range below 6 GHz, the NR terminal also introduces the millimeter wave frequency band above 6 GHz. Therefore, according to whether the terminal supports the FR1 / FR2 frequency range, the MG is divided into the following three categories: gapFR1 (MG applicable to FR1), gapFR2 (MG applicable to FR2) and gapUE (MG applicable to all frequency bands).

[0005] In the current protocol, the network can only configure one type of MG. A single MG cannot cover multiple synchronization signal block measurement timing configuration (SMTC) information of different measurement objects MO or two SMTCs of the same MO (such as Figure 1 SMTC1 and SMTC2 shown), resulting in delays in measurement and reporting.

[0054] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0055] The terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification, claims and above-mentioned drawings of the embodiments of the present application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or apparatus comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or apparatus.

[0056] In order to better understand the measurement configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the communication system architecture involved in the embodiment of the present application is described below.

[0057] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a wireless communication system provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the wireless communication system may include one or more terminal devices ( Figure 1 The terminal device 11 shown), multiple network devices ( Figure 1 The terminal device 11 is connected to the base station 12, for example, by radio resource control (RRC), and the cell where the base station 12 is located is the service cell 16 of the terminal device 11. The terminal device 11 may also be in the coverage area of ​​a group of adjacent cells 17-19 where the base stations 13-15 are located.

[0058] The terminal device provided in the embodiment of the present application can be a wireless terminal or a wired terminal. The wireless terminal can be a device that provides voice and / or other business data connectivity to the user, a handheld device with a wireless connection function, or other processing equipment connected to a wireless modem. The wireless terminal can communicate with one or more core networks via a radio access network (Radio Access Network, referred to as RAN). The wireless terminal can be a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal. For example, it can be a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-built-in or vehicle-mounted mobile device, which exchanges language and / or data with the wireless access network. For example, Personal Communication Service (PCS) phone, cordless phone, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and other devices. A wireless terminal may also be referred to as a system, a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile station, a remote station, a remote terminal, an access terminal, a user terminal, a user agent, or a user device or user equipment, without limitation herein.

[0059] The network device provided in the embodiment of the present application is a device deployed in a wireless access network to provide wireless communication functions. It can be a base station (Base TransceiverStation, BTS) in Global System of Mobile communication (GSM) or Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), or a base station (NodeB, NB) in Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), or an evolved base station (Evolutional NodeB, eNB or eNodeB) in LTE, or a relay station or access point, or a transmission reception point (TRP) or next generation node B (gNB) in a new air interface NR network, or base stations in other future network systems, etc., which are not limited here.

[0060] The wireless communication system provided in the embodiment of the present application may be a communication system based on NR technology, such as a fifth generation mobile communication technology (5th generation mobile networks, 5G for short) communication system, NR-light system, etc. It can also be applied to other communication systems, as long as there is an entity in the communication system that needs to indicate communication with another entity, and the other entity needs to perform measurement by interpreting the measurement information configuration, for example, it can be applied to perform measurement information configuration between a network device and a terminal device, or two terminal devices, one of which assumes the function of accessing the network, etc. Specifically, the communication system can be, for example: Global System of Mobile communication (GSM) system, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) system, Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, advanced Long Term Evolution LTE-A (LTE Advanced) system, LTE Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) system, LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD), Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), etc.

[0061] Based on the measurement configuration received from the serving cell, the terminal device performs a measurement process to measure the serving cell and the neighboring cells, and reports to the network device (such as Figure 1The base station 12 in the network sends a measurement report. For example, the network device sends a measurement configuration to the terminal device through a radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) signaling, and the measurement configuration includes a measurement gap (MG) configuration and a measurement object (MO) configuration. The terminal device can perform the above measurement process based on the reference signal sent by the network device. The reference signal can be a synchronization signal block (SSB or SS / PBCH block) or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), etc. The synchronization signal block is also called a synchronization signal / physical broadcast channel (synchronization signal / physical broadcast channel, PBCH), which can include one or more of a PBCH, a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS).

[0062] As an example, Figure 1The service cell 16 and the neighboring cell 17 shown are co-frequency cells, the service cell 16 and the neighboring cell 18 are heterogeneous cells, and the service cell 16 and the neighboring cell 19 are cells under a heterogeneous network. That is, the service cell 16 and the neighboring cell 17 operate on the same carrier frequency, the service cell 16 and the neighboring cell 18 may not operate on the same carrier frequency, and the service cell 16 and the neighboring cell 19 use different radio access technologies (radio access technology, RAT). The measurement of the terminal device 11 includes intra-frequency measurement (or co-frequency measurement) on the service cell 16 and the neighboring cell 17, inter-frequency measurement (or heterogeneous measurement) on the neighboring cell 18, and RAT inter-frequency measurement on the neighboring cell 19. Co-frequency measurement means that the cell where the terminal device is currently located and the target cell to be measured are on the same carrier frequency (center frequency), and heterogeneous measurement means that the cell where the terminal device is currently located and the target cell are not on the same carrier frequency. If the terminal device needs to perform inter-frequency measurement (including inter-standard measurement), two RF receivers can be installed in the terminal device to measure the frequency of the local cell and the frequency of the target cell respectively, but this will increase the cost and cause interference between different frequencies. Therefore, 3GPP proposed the measurement interval, which is to reserve a part of time during which the UE will not send or receive any data, but adjust the receiver to the frequency of the target cell to perform inter-frequency measurement, and then switch to the current cell after the measurement interval ends.

[0063] In the NR system, the operating frequency range of terminal devices not only includes the frequency range below 6 GHz, but also the millimeter wave frequency band above 6 GHz. Therefore, according to whether the terminal device supports the FR1 / FR2 frequency range, RAN4 defines the measurement intervals of per UE and perFR, namely gapFR1, gapFR2 and gapUE. Correspondingly, the terminal device also introduces an independent measurement interval configuration (independentGapConfig), which is used to indicate whether the terminal device can configure the measurement interval of perFR1 / 2.

[0064] gapFR1: This measurement gap configuration is only applicable to FR1. gapFR1 and gapUE do not support simultaneous configuration. In addition, in EN-DC mode, gapFR1 does not support NR RRC configuration, and only LTE RRC can configure gapFR1.

[0065] gapFR2: This measurement interval configuration is only applicable to FR2. gapFR2 and gapUE do not support simultaneous configuration.

[0066] gapUE: This measurement gap configuration applies to all frequency bands, including FR1 and FR2. In EN-DC mode, only LTERRC can configure gapUE, and NR RRC configuration is not supported. If gapUE is configured, gapFR1 or gapFR2 cannot be configured.

[0067] For the per-UE gap, the terminal device is not allowed to send any data and is not expected to adjust the receiver of the primary carrier and the secondary carrier. If the terminal device supports the independent gap capability, that is, the measurement of FR1 and FR2 can be independent and unaffected, then the terminal device can configure the per-FR measurement gap.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, the parameter configuration of the measurement interval includes measurement gap length (measurement gap length, MGL), measurement gap repetition period (measurement gap repetition period, MGRP), measurement gap offset (measurement gap offset), and measurement gap timing advance (measurement gap timing advance, MGTA). Among them, MGL can be 1.5ms, 3ms, 3.5ms, 4ms, 5.5ms, 6ms. MGRP can be 20ms, 40ms, 80ms, 160ms. MGTA can be 0ms, 0.25ms (FR2), 0.5ms (FR1). The offset of MG can be any one of the values ​​in the set {0, 1, ..., MGRP-1}, and the unit of the value in the set {} is milliseconds (ms).

[0069] The terminal device can determine the starting position of the measurement interval according to the following formula:

[0070] SFN mod T=FLOOR(gapOffset / 10); subframe=gapOffset mod 10; with T=MGRP / 10.

[0071] Wherein, SFN represents the system frame number, mod represents the modulo function, and subframe represents the subframe number.

[0072] Currently, the protocol supports 24 measurement gap patterns, see Table 1.

[0073] Table 1

[0074] The ID of the interval pattern MGL(ms) MGRP(ms) 0 6 40 1 6 80 2 3 40 3 3 80 4 6 20 5 6 160 6 4 20 7 4 40 8 4 80 9 4 160 10 3 20 11 3 160 12 5.5 20 13 5.5 40 14 5.5 80 15 5.5 160 16 3.5 20 17 3.5 40 18 3.5 80 19 3.5 160 20 1.5 20 21 1.5 40 22 1.5 80 23 1.5 160

[0075] The MO in the measurement configuration includes the same frequency MO, different frequency MO, or different network MO. The measurement configuration may specify a set of parameters to be measured corresponding to the MO. For example, the parameters to be measured include reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), signal-to-noise and interference ratio (SINR), reference signal time difference (RSTD), etc.

[0076] In the NR system, the network device can configure SMTC for the terminal device. SMTC is used to indicate the information of the terminal device to measure SSB. SMTC includes one or more of the SMTC period, SMTC duration (or window length), and SMTC time offset. Among them, the SMTC period can be 5ms, 10ms, 20ms, 40ms, 80ms, 160ms. The length of SMTC can also be called the duration of SMTC, which can be 1ms, 2ms, 3ms, 4ms, 5ms. The time offset of SMTC can be any value in the set {0, 1, ..., SMTC period - 1}, and the unit of the value in the set {} is milliseconds (ms).

[0077] The terminal device can determine the starting position of SMTC according to the following formula:

[0078] SFN mod T = (FLOOR (Offset / 10)); if the period of SMTC is greater than sf5: subframe = Offset mod 10, otherwise subframe = Offset or (Offset + 5); with T = CEIL (Periodicity / 10).

[0079] Among them, SFN represents the system frame number, FLOOR represents rounding down, subframe represents the number of the subframe, CEIL represents the rounding function, and Periodicity represents the period of SMTC.

[0080] For intra-frequency measurements in the connected state, a same-frequency MO can be configured with two SMTCs (SMTC1 and SMTC2), which can have the same time offset and different periods (for example, the period of SMTC2 is smaller than the period of SMTC1). For inter-frequency measurements, only one SMTC (SMTC1) is configured.

[0081] Currently, network equipment can only configure one type of measurement interval mentioned above, such as per-UE MG or per-FR MG. MG configuration can support measurement interval length mgl{ms1dot5,ms3,ms3dot5,ms4,ms5dot5,ms6}, and measurement interval period mgrp{ms20,ms40,ms80,ms160}. However, SMTC configuration can support SMTC length {1ms,2ms,3ms,4ms,5ms}, and SMTC period {5ms,10ms,20ms,40ms,80ms,160ms}. This results in that one MG cannot cover multiple SMTCs of multiple MOs, or even two SMTCs of a same-frequency MO.

[0082] As an example, Figure 2 The configuration diagram of two SMTCs of MG and MO is shown as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the network configures two SMTCs for the same MO, namely SMTC1 and SMTC2. The SMTC offset and length (for example, 5ms) of the two SMTCs are the same. The period of SMTC1 is 20ms, and the period of SMTC2 is 10ms. The network configures the period of MG to be 20ms and the length of MG to be 6ms. Figure 2 It can be seen that the measurement interval cannot cover part of SMTC2 of the MO.

[0083] As another example, if multiple MOs are configured with different SMTC offsets, the terminal device will not be able to process multiple SMTCs of different MOs in a configured single MG (a series of measurement time periods). Therefore, the above configuration will cause a delay in the terminal device's measurement and reporting.

[0084] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a measurement configuration method, in which the network equipment and terminal equipment can support multiple MG configurations. By adding MG configuration, the problem that the MO SMTC cannot be covered by the MG of the existing mechanism is solved, so that the network equipment can perform measurement configuration for the terminal equipment more flexibly and quickly, and reduce the delay in terminal equipment measurement and reporting. In a specific implementation, new UE capabilities can be introduced so that the UE can support both per UE and per FR MGs. New UE capabilities can also be introduced so that the UE can support multiple MGs at the same time (multiple MGs can be MGs of the same type). New MG types can also be introduced to support per cell / CG MGs (i.e., MGs applicable to the same cell or the same cell group). The network equipment can flexibly configure the MG to cover more SMTCs through any of the above implementation methods, which can reduce the delay problem in terminal measurement and reporting.

[0085] The technical solution of the present application is described in detail with reference to several specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes will not be repeated in some embodiments.

[0086] Figure 3 This is an interactive diagram of a measurement configuration method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0087] Step 101: A network device generates measurement configuration information, where the measurement configuration information is used to indicate configuration information of multiple measurement intervals MG.

[0088] Step 102: The network device sends measurement configuration information to the terminal device.

[0089] Step 103: The terminal device performs measurement according to the measurement configuration information.

[0090] The measurement intervals of multiple MGs indicated in the measurement configuration information of the embodiment of the present application may cover at least one SMTC of at least one measurement object MO.

[0091] In one example, the measurement intervals of multiple MGs may cover one SMTC of a same-frequency MO, where one STMC refers to a series of SMTC windows corresponding to the same-frequency MO, such as Figure 4a In another example, the measurement intervals of multiple MGs may cover two SMTCs of a same-frequency MO. For example, multiple MGs may cover Figure 4a In another example, the measurement intervals of multiple MGs may cover multiple SMTCs of multiple MOs, and the multiple MOs may be same-frequency MOs and / or different-frequency MOs, such as Figure 4a The SMTC1, SMTC2 of the same-frequency MO and the SMTC of the different-frequency MO are shown.

[0092] It should be noted that configuring multiple MGs may not cover all SMTCs of at least one MO, but compared with the existing mechanism of configuring only one MG, it can improve the coverage of MGs and reduce the delay of terminal measurement and reporting.

[0093] In a first possible design, the types of multiple MGs configured by the network device can be the same type of MGs, such as a first MG applicable to a first frequency range (i.e., gapFR1), a second MG applicable to a second frequency range (i.e., gapFR2), or a third MG applicable to all frequency bands (i.e., gapUE).

[0094] In a second possible design, the types of the multiple MGs configured in the network device may be at least two types of MGs. The at least two types of MGs may be any two of a first MG applicable to a first frequency range, a second MG applicable to a second frequency range, and a third MG applicable to all frequency bands, or may be any one or any two of the first MG applicable to the first frequency range, the second MG applicable to the second frequency range, and the third MG applicable to all frequency bands, and a fourth MG.

[0095] It should be noted that the fourth MG is a newly added MG type. The fourth MG is applicable to the same type of UE, the same type of cell (i.e., per cell), and the same coverage area (i.e., per CG (cell group)). The same type of UE can be understood as UEs with the same independent gap capability, such as UEs operating above 6 GHz. The same type of cell can be understood as cells that can operate on the same frequency layer, such as Figure 1 The serving cell 16 and the neighboring cell 17 are shown. The same coverage area can be understood as all cells in the same coverage area, e.g. Figure 1 The area where the terminal device 11 is shown includes four cells, a service cell 16 and adjacent cells 17-19, and these four cells belong to the same cell group CG.

[0096] In the above second possible design, a new UE capability can be introduced to indicate that the UE can support both per UE and per FR1 / 2 MGs. In other words, the network supports the configuration of a first MG applicable to the first frequency range and a third MG applicable to all frequency ranges, or a second MG applicable to the second frequency range and a third MG applicable to all frequency ranges, or a first MG applicable to the first frequency range and a second MG applicable to the second frequency range. The above design does not change the existing protocol framework, and two types of MGs can be configured at the same time, thereby improving the flexibility of network configuration.

[0097] As an example, Figure 4a A schematic diagram of a configuration of two MGs and different MO SMTCs is shown, such as Figure 4a As shown, the network is configured with two MGs, MG1 and MG2. MG1 can cover all windows of SMTC1 of the same-frequency MO and part of the windows of SMTC2 of the same-frequency MO, and MG2 can cover part of the windows of SMTC2 of the same-frequency MO and all windows of the different-frequency MO. It can be seen that MG2, as a supplement to MG1, can cover more SMTCs (for example Figure 4a This example does not impose any restrictions on the types of the two MGs, and they can be of the same type or different types.

[0098] In the above second possible design, a new UE capability can be introduced to indicate that the UE can additionally support one or more MGs under certain conditions (i.e., one or more MGs can be configured on the basis of configuring one MG). The network supports configuring multiple MGs, and the multiple MGs can be independent of each other, such as Figure 4a MG1 and MG2 are shown, and multiple MGs may also be interrelated, such as Figure 4b As shown, MG1 and MG2 have different periods, but the same time offset and length. Compared with MG1, the measurement window of MG2 is denser. When a terminal device receives measurement configurations of multiple MGs, MG1 can be ignored and measurement can be performed using MG2.

[0099] In one embodiment, the multiple MGs are of the same type, which can be any existing MG type. This design does not change the conflict restrictions configured between existing MG types and MG types, and multiple MGs are configured to cover the measurement of more MOs, avoiding the complexity and delay caused by reconfiguration and improving the efficiency of mobility switching.

[0100] In one embodiment, at least one of the time offset, length, and period of any two MGs among the plurality of MGs is different. For details, see Table 2, which shows several combinations of configuration parameters of any two MGs among the plurality of MGs.

[0101] Table 2

[0102]

[0103] In one embodiment, the time offset of at least one MG among the plurality of MGs is equal to the time offset of the SMTC of the first MO.

[0104] In one embodiment, a length of at least one MG among the plurality of MGs is equal to a length of the SMTC of the first MO.

[0105] In one embodiment, a period of at least one MG among the plurality of MGs is equal to a period of the SMTC of the first MO.

[0106] The first MO is any one of the at least one MO, which may be a same-frequency MO, a different-frequency MO or a different-network MO.

[0107] As an example, taking the case where the network configures two MGs, the network may configure the time offset of MG2 to be the same as that of MG1, and the period of MG2 is not greater than that of MG1, so that MG2 covers the SMTC outside MG1; the network may configure the time offset of MG2 to be different from that of MG1, and the time offset of MG2 is equal to the time offset of the SMTC of a certain hetero-frequency MO, so that MG2 covers the SMTC of the hetero-frequency MO. In one embodiment, the network may simultaneously configure the length of MG2 to be smaller than the length of MG1, so as to minimize the terminal throughput loss while satisfying other MO measurements.

[0108] In the above second possible design, a new MG type can be introduced, namely the fourth MG (per cell or per CG gap) mentioned above. In other words, the network supports configuring multiple MGs, and on the basis of an existing MG, a dedicated MG (dedicated gap) is configured to detect the mobility measurement requirements of a certain type of UE, a certain type of cell, or a cell group in a certain coverage area.

[0109] As an example, a network device or a terminal device may configure a dedicated MG based on a trigger condition, wherein the trigger condition includes at least one of the following: the network device configures the terminal device to perform early measurement reporting (early measurement), fast carrier establishment (fast CA setup), dual connection (fast DC setup), or temporary positioning measurement (positioning request). Of course, the trigger condition may also include other urgent and high-priority measurement conditions, which are not limited in any way by the embodiments of the present application. The network device configures an additional dedicated MG to meet the measurement of other MOs.

[0110] The above design introduces a new MG type, which can realize the mobility measurement requirements of a type of UE, a type of cell, and an area in batches, avoiding the network configuration one by one, reducing the network signaling overhead, and at the same time reducing the delay of terminal measurement and reporting, and improving the efficiency of mobility switching.

[0111] In some embodiments, the network device may send measurement configuration information to the terminal device via at least one of RRC signaling, downlink control information DCI, or system messages.

[0112] As an example, the network device may configure multiple MGs through one of RRC signaling, DCI, or system messages. For example, the network device may configure multiple MGs through RRC signaling. Figure 4a or Figure 4b MG1 and MG2 are shown.

[0113] As an example, the network device may configure MG1 through RRC signaling, and configure MG2 through DCI or system message. It should be noted that compared with the configuration through RRC signaling, the speed of configuring SMTC through DCI is faster.

[0114] As an example, the multiple MGs configured by the network device are MGs of different types. The network device may configure one type of MG through RRC signaling, and configure another type of MG through DCI or system messages.

[0115] In some embodiments, the measurements performed by the terminal device according to the measurement configuration information include: one or more of: intra-frequency measurement, inter-frequency measurement, and RAT inter-frequency measurement.

[0116] In the measurement configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application, a network device generates measurement configuration information for indicating multiple MGs, and sends the measurement configuration information to a terminal device, and the terminal device performs measurement based on the measurement configuration information. The multiple MGs may be MGs of the same type or MGs of different types, and the measurement intervals of the multiple MGs may cover at least one SMTC of at least one MO. By increasing the MG configuration to cover more SMTC windows, the delay problem of terminal measurement and reporting can be effectively reduced.

[0117] Figure 5 An interactive diagram of a measurement configuration method provided in an embodiment of the present application, in Figure 3 Based on the embodiment shown, Figure 5 As shown, the measurement configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

[0118] Step 201: The terminal device sends a measurement configuration request to the network device.

[0119] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device sends a measurement configuration request to the network device, specifically including:

[0120] When the trigger condition is met, the terminal device sends a measurement configuration request to the network device;

[0121] The triggering condition includes at least one of the following: the network device configures the terminal device to perform early measurement reporting, fast carrier establishment, dual connection, or temporary positioning measurement.

[0122] Step 202: The network device generates measurement configuration information, where the measurement configuration information is used to indicate configuration information of multiple measurement intervals MG.

[0123] Step 203: The network device sends measurement configuration information to the terminal device.

[0124] Step 204: The terminal device performs measurement according to the measurement configuration information.

[0125] Steps 202 to 204 of the embodiment of the present application are the same as steps 101 to 103 of the above embodiment. Please refer to the above embodiment for details, and no further details will be given here.

[0126] The embodiment of the present application shows a measurement configuration triggered by a terminal device. The terminal device can send a measurement configuration request to a network device when a preset trigger condition is met, so that the network device generates configuration information of multiple MGs according to the measurement configuration request. The terminal device performs measurement according to the measurement configuration of multiple MGs, thereby reducing terminal measurement and reporting delays and improving the flexibility of network measurement configuration.

[0127] Based on any of the above embodiments, in one embodiment, the network device may specify a specific UE to configure a dedicated MG in a certain cell list or cell group through RRC signaling or system message. The network device may also instruct all UEs to configure an additional MG under certain conditions, which may be: a measurement time window, a specific neighboring cell, or a specific cell group (CG).

[0128] Based on the above embodiments, it can be seen that the network device can pre-agree with the terminal device on the triggering conditions of the measurement configuration, and the network device can configure multiple MGs for the terminal device based on its own judgment or based on the measurement configuration request sent by the terminal device. The network device can introduce a new MG type based on the special measurement requirements of the network to achieve batch configuration of a class of UEs, a class of cells or an area, reduce network signaling overhead, and improve the efficiency of mobility switching.

[0129] The multiple MOs in the above embodiment can be configured simultaneously or separately (that is, one or more MGs are additionally configured on the basis of the existing MG configuration). Figure 6 The second configuration method is described in detail.

[0130] Figure 6 An interactive diagram of a measurement configuration method provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 6 As shown, the measurement configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

[0131] Step 301: The network device generates measurement configuration information, where the measurement configuration information is used to indicate the measurement interval MG of the same type of measurement objects MO.

[0132] The MG of the same type of MO in the embodiment of the present application is an MG additionally configured by the network device for the terminal device, which is different from the perUE or perFR1 / FR2 gap in the existing mechanism. The MG here can be a per cell or per CG gap. The MG of the same type of MO is applicable to the same type of UE, the same type of cell, or the same coverage area. The network device can indicate the generated measurement configuration information to a specific UE or all UEs through RRC signaling or system messages.

[0133] In one possible design, the network device is configured with a perUE or perFR gap, but there are still MOs that cannot be measured. At this time, the network device can trigger urgent, high-priority measurements based on trigger conditions, such as early measurement reporting, rapid carrier establishment, dual connectivity, or temporary positioning measurements. The network device can also perform step 301 of the embodiment of the present application to configure additional MGs for the UE in a specific cell or cell group to meet the measurements of these MOs. This design is a measurement configuration directly triggered by the network device.

[0134] In another possible design, the network device may trigger the above measurement configuration based on a measurement configuration request sent by the terminal device. Specifically, when the above triggering condition is met, the terminal device sends a measurement configuration request to the network device, and the measurement configuration request is used to instruct the network device to additionally configure an MG for the terminal device. This design is a measurement configuration triggered by a terminal device, and the network device additionally configures an MG based on a terminal request.

[0135] In one embodiment, the type of the additionally configured MG may also be a MG of an existing mechanism. For example, if the network device has configured a perUE gap, the additionally configured MG may be a perFR1 or perFR2 gap.

[0136] Step 302: The network device sends measurement configuration information to the terminal device.

[0137] As an example, the network device may send measurement configuration information to the terminal device via RRC signaling or system message.

[0138] Correspondingly, the terminal device obtains the measurement configuration information by receiving the RRC signaling or system message sent by the network device, and executes step 303.

[0139] Step 303: The terminal device performs measurement according to the measurement configuration information.

[0140] In the measurement configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the network device generates measurement configuration information for indicating the MG of the same type of MO based on its own judgment or the measurement configuration request sent by the terminal device. The MG of the same type of MO is the MG additionally configured by the network device for the terminal device. The newly configured MG can cover more MO SMTCs, which not only reduces the delay in terminal measurement and reporting, but also realizes batch configuration of mobility measurement requirements for the same type of UE, the same type of cell, and the same area, thereby reducing network signaling overhead.

[0141] The measurement configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail above. The terminal device and network device provided in the embodiment of the present application will be described below.
