[0117] Multiple concurrent measurement gaps (MG), which can be understood as configuring multiple sets of measurement gaps through Radio Resource Control (RRC). Due to the limited processing capacity of the terminal, when there is a time-domain overlap among the configured multiple sets of measurement gaps, the network device will indicate the priority of the measurement gaps; for example, the network device will indicate that the priority of measurement gap pattern_i is k, the priority of measurement gap pattern_j is h, and so on. When there is a time-domain overlap among the measurement gaps, the final adopted measurement gap can be determined by comparing the priorities corresponding to the measurement gaps. For example, the measurement gap with a higher priority is adopted, and the measurement gap with a lower priority is discarded. There are two cases of time-domain overlap among multiple sets of measurement gaps: there is an actual time-domain overlap; there is no time-domain overlap but the distance between them is less than a certain value.

[0118] A pre-configured measurement interval means that the network device configures a measurement interval through RRC, but this measurement interval is not effective and needs to be activated. Activation means that this measurement interval becomes effective and can be used by the terminal. Correspondingly, the pre-configured measurement interval can also be deactivated. The activation or deactivation of the pre-configured measurement interval can be indicated by the network device or determined by the terminal autonomously based on specific events whether to activate or deactivate the measurement interval. Since relevant information needs to be loaded, it takes a certain amount of time for the terminal to activate or deactivate the pre-configured measurement interval, usually 5 ms. During this period, the state of the pre-configured measurement interval is ambiguous and it is impossible to determine whether the measurement interval is in an active state or a deactivated state.

[0119] In the case of using multiple concurrent measurement intervals in combination with pre-configured measurement intervals, that is, among multiple concurrent measurement intervals, there are pre-configured measurement intervals. If there are pre-configured measurement intervals with time-domain overlap in the process of activation / deactivation, the terminal cannot handle the time-domain overlap problem. Specifically, when there is time-domain overlap between other measurement intervals and pre-configured measurement intervals, or when there is time-domain overlap between two pre-configured measurement intervals, if the pre-configured measurement interval is in the process of activation / deactivation and the priority information cannot be applied (the priority is applied to the effective / activated measurement interval), then the terminal cannot determine which measurement interval to retain or which to discard based on the priority method of the measurement interval.

[0120] Based on this, in each embodiment of the present application, the network device sends the first information to the terminal. The first information includes at least one of the following: the second information, the third information, and the fourth information. Among them, the second information is used to instruct the terminal to delay the state conversion process of the pre-configured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval; the third information is used to instruct the terminal to determine whether to delay the state conversion process of the pre-configured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval based on the priority of the measurement interval; the fourth information is used to instruct the terminal to determine whether to discard the pre-configured measurement interval based on the priority of the measurement interval; when there is a conflict between the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, the terminal performs at least one of the following operations: applying the abandonment rule; performing measurement within the first measurement interval; abandoning the first measurement interval. The above solution clarifies the operations performed by the terminal when there is a conflict between the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, and the terminal can determine the finally used measurement interval.

[0121] The following further describes the present application in detail with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0122] An embodiment of the present application provides a measurement method, which is applied to a terminal. The terminal is also called a user equipment (UE, User Equipment), such as Figure 1 shown, and the method includes:

[0123] Step 101: When there is a conflict between a pre-configured measurement interval and a first measurement interval, perform at least one of the following operations:

[0124] Apply the dropping rule;

[0125] Perform measurements within the first measurement interval;

[0126] Abandon the first measurement interval.

[0127] Here, the gain of this solution is that when there is a conflict between a pre-configured measurement interval and a first measurement interval (for example, among concurrent measurement intervals, one is the pre-configured measurement interval and the others are the first measurement intervals), if the pre-configured measurement interval is in the process of state transition, then during this period, the state of the pre-configured measurement interval is ambiguous (that is, it is impossible to determine whether the pre-configured measurement interval has been activated or deactivated), resulting in the inability to determine the conflict state between the two (the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval), nor which one of the two can be used; in this embodiment, when there is a conflict between the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, the above three operations are provided to enable the terminal to determine the finally used measurement interval. The three operations correspond to three solutions, and these three solutions can be used independently or in any combination.

[0128] Applying the dropping rule can be understood as that even if the pre-configured measurement interval is in the process of state transition, regardless of whether the state of the pre-configured measurement interval has been determined (whether it has been activated or deactivated), the determination of how to choose is made according to the priority rule, that is, among the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, the measurement interval with the higher priority is retained and the measurement interval with the lower priority is abandoned. The dropping rule can be described as the dropping rule. Specifically, the dropping rule includes: abandoning the measurement interval with the lower priority, and / or, retaining the measurement interval with the higher priority. The pre-configured measurement interval can be abbreviated as Pre-MG.

[0129] Measurements are made within the first measurement interval, which can be understood as continuing to use the first measurement interval during this period regardless of the state of the pre-configured measurement interval, and the processing time for the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval is lagged. Since the pre-configured measurement interval is in the process of state transition, it is impossible to determine whether the pre-configured measurement interval has been activated or deactivated (activation can be understood as the pre-configured measurement interval can be used by the terminal. If the pre-configured measurement interval overlaps with the first measurement interval, there will be a conflict between the two; deactivation can be understood as the pre-configured measurement interval cannot be used by the terminal, which can be understood as the non-existence of the pre-configured measurement interval, that is, there is no conflict with the first measurement interval). Therefore, adopting the abandonment rule is not an optimal solution, so the preferred option is to continue using the first measurement interval for measurement. That is to say, making measurements within the first measurement interval means using the first measurement interval, and specifically, the pre-configured measurement interval that conflicts with the first measurement interval can be abandoned, or the state transition process of the pre-configured measurement interval can be delayed until after the first measurement interval. Specifically, the application scenarios include the scenario where the first measurement interval conflicts with the activation process of the Pre-MG. At this time, when making measurements within the first measurement interval, the activation process of the Pre-MG is postponed. Further, in the above application scenario, the Pre-MG has a higher priority (that is, the priority of the Pre-MG is higher than the priority of the first measurement interval).

[0130] Abandoning the first measurement interval can also be described as making measurements within the pre-configured measurement interval. Or, abandoning the first measurement interval can be understood as abandoning the first measurement interval within the conflict range, and the terminal performs relevant processing on the pre-configured measurement interval, such as activation / deactivation. That is to say, abandoning the first measurement interval means making measurements within the pre-configured measurement interval that conflicts with the first measurement interval. Specifically, the application scenarios include the scenario where the first measurement interval conflicts with the deactivation process of the Pre-MG. At this time, when abandoning the first measurement interval, measurements are made within the pre-configured measurement interval. Further, in the above application scenario, the Pre-MG has a higher priority (that is, the priority of the Pre-MG is higher than the priority of the first measurement interval).

[0131] The first measurement gap includes at least one of the following: a preconfigured measurement gap, a gap of a multi-universal subscriber identity module (MUSIM), a network controlled small gap (NCSG), and a type 2 measurement gap (i.e., a measurement gap without priority). Among them, the gap of the multi-universal subscriber identity module can also be described as MUSIM gap or MUSIM gap(s), and can also be described as the measurement gap of the multi-universal subscriber identity module, that is, MUSIM measurement gap(s). The first measurement gap can also be described as a measurement gap or as a gap. The main scenario is that there is a Pre-MG in concurrent measurement gaps, and there is a conflict between a certain Pre-MG and other measurement gaps in the concurrent measurement gaps. The first measurement gap is used to refer to other measurement gaps in the concurrent measurement gaps.

[0132] It should be noted that both the preconfigured measurement gap and the first measurement gap are measurement gaps. The English for measurement gap is "measurement gap", or the measurement gap is abbreviated as "MG". The measurement gap is a concept in the time domain and includes a measurement gap repetition period (MGRP), MGL, and offset. Within the MGL of the measurement gap, the terminal disconnects from the current serving frequency point and tunes to the target reference symbol position for measurement, that is, the original serving cell cannot schedule the terminal, resulting in throughput loss. The preconfigured measurement gap refers to that the network side (such as a network device) configures a measurement gap through RRC, but this measurement gap is not effective and needs to be activated. Activation means that this measurement gap becomes effective and can be used by the terminal; correspondingly, the preconfigured measurement gap can also be deactivated. The activation or deactivation of the preconfigured measurement gap can be indicated by the network side (such as a network device), or the terminal can autonomously determine whether to activate or deactivate based on a specific event.

[0133] It should be noted that conflict can also be described as overlap, or as time-domain overlap, or as collision. That is to say, if there is a conflict between the preconfigured measurement gap and the first measurement gap, it can also be understood that there is an overlap between the preconfigured measurement gap and the first measurement gap, or there is a time-domain overlap or collision. There are two cases of time-domain overlap of measurement gaps: there is actual overlap in the time domain; there is no overlap in the time domain, but the interval in the time domain is less than a certain value or a certain range. The interval in the time domain can also be described as a time-domain interval.

[0134] Considering that the pre-configured measurement interval becomes effective only after activation and becomes invalid after deactivation, and the pre-configured measurement interval involves state transitions. Based on this, in one embodiment, there is a conflict between the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, including a conflict between the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval.

[0135] Here, the conflict between the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval can be understood as that the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval occurs within the first measurement interval, or it can be understood that the time domain interval between the trigger time of the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval and the start time or end time of the first measurement interval is less than a certain value or a certain range.

[0136] In one embodiment, the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval includes the activation and / or deactivation of the pre-configured measurement interval.

[0137] Here, the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval includes the activation and / or deactivation of the pre-configured measurement interval. Specifically, the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval can be that after the pre-configured measurement interval is configured by the network side (such as a network device) for the terminal, the network side (such as a network device) can indicate to the terminal to activate through indication information, or the terminal activates when it determines that specific conditions are met (for example, there is a measurement target that requires a measurement interval), and the measurement target can also be described as a frequency point or a measurement frequency point. The state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval can also be that for an already activated pre-configured measurement interval, the network side (such as a network device) indicates to the terminal to deactivate through indication information, or the terminal deactivates when it determines that specific conditions are met (for example, there is no measurement target that requires a measurement interval). The state transition can also be described as a state change or a state alteration.

[0138] It should be noted that the conflict between the state change of the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval includes a conflict between the activation process of the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, or a conflict between the deactivation process of the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval.

[0139] Based on the fact that there is a conflict between the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, including a conflict between the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, in order to accurately determine whether there is a conflict between the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, in one embodiment, in at least one of the following conditions is met, there is a conflict between the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval:

[0140] The state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval occurs within the first time before the start of the first measurement interval;

[0141] The state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval occurs within a second time period after the end of the first measurement interval;

[0142] The state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval occurs within the first measurement interval;

[0143] The distance between the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval is less than or equal to 4 milliseconds;

[0144] The end point of the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval occurs within a first time period. The starting point of the first time period is 4 milliseconds before the starting point of the first measurement interval, and the ending point of the first time period is 4 milliseconds after the ending point of the first measurement interval.

[0145] Here, the values of the first time and the second time can be the same or different. The values of the first time and the second time are related to the processing capabilities of the terminal. Different terminals can use different first times and second times. Since the terminal needs to process relevant parameters / configurations, and this processing takes time, during this period, the state of the pre-configured measurement interval is ambiguous, that is, it is impossible to determine whether the pre-configured measurement interval has been activated or deactivated, resulting in the inability to determine whether there is a conflict between the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, and it is also impossible to determine which one of the two can be used. Therefore, even if the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval does not occur within the MGL of the first measurement interval, but if the time domain interval between the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval is less than a certain range, it is also considered that there is a conflict between the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval. The first time can be described as the first duration, the second time can be described as the second duration, and the values of the first time and the second time can be at the millisecond level, such as 4 ms.

[0146] The state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval occurs within a first time period before the start of the first measurement interval. It can also be described as: the interval or distance or difference between the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval and the starting position of the first measurement interval is less than or equal to the first time, specifically as Figure 2 shown. This interval, distance, and difference are parameters in the time domain dimension.

[0147] The state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval occurs within a second time period after the end of the first measurement interval. It can also be described as: the interval or distance or difference between the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval and the ending position of the first measurement interval is less than or equal to the second time, specifically as Figure 3 shown.

[0148] It should be noted that the first measurement interval here can also be described as a certain or certain first measurement interval positions or a certain first measurement interval occasion. The occasion can be described as "instance" or "occasion". The first measurement interval appears periodically, and each appearance can be called a measurement occasion (instance or occasion). Since the first measurement interval appears periodically, while the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval is sporadic (it can be understood that the state transition process occurs within a specific period of time, and the pre-configured measurement interval also appears periodically after activation), there is a conflict between the state change of the pre-configured measurement interval and a certain / some first measurement interval positions / occasions, that is, there will be a conflict between the state change of the pre-configured measurement interval and a certain or some first measurement interval positions / occasions.

[0149] The distance between the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval is less than or equal to 4 milliseconds. It can be understood that: the distance or interval or difference between the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval is less than or equal to 4 milliseconds.

[0150] The end point of the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval occurs within the first time period. It can be understood that: the end moment of the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval occurs within the first time period. The starting point of the first time period is 4 milliseconds before the starting point of the first measurement interval. It can be understood that: the starting point of the first time period is 4 milliseconds away from the starting point of the first measurement interval, and the starting point of the first time period is before the starting point of the first measurement interval; the starting point can also be described as the starting moment. The end point of the first time period is 4 milliseconds after the end point of the first measurement interval. It can also be understood that: the end point of the first time period is 4 milliseconds away from the end point of the first measurement interval, and the end point of the first time period is after the end point of the first measurement interval; the end point can also be described as the end moment.

[0151] In one embodiment, the measurement within the first measurement interval includes:

[0152] Measuring within the first measurement interval within a first time range; wherein, the first time range includes at least one of the following:

[0153] Within a first time before the start of the first measurement interval;

[0154] Within a second time after the end of the first measurement interval;

[0155] Within the first measurement interval.

[0156] Here, when there is a conflict (i.e., time-domain overlap) between the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, the process of the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval requires processing time. Due to the limited processing capacity of the terminal, the terminal cannot perform measurements within the first measurement interval and the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval simultaneously. The solution provided by the embodiments of the present application is as follows: within the first time range, based on the first measurement interval, measurements are performed within the first measurement interval, and the state change of the pre-configured measurement interval is postponed until after the first measurement interval or after the first measurement interval plus a certain time. That is to say, the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval is delayed until after the first measurement interval or after the first measurement interval plus a certain time (such as the third time below). The first time range includes the first time before the start of the first measurement interval, and / or the second time after the end of the first measurement interval, and / or within the first measurement interval.

[0157] Further, after the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval is completed, since both the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval appear periodically, subsequent conflicts between the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval are handled by the abandonment rule, that is, after the first measurement interval, or after the first measurement interval plus the third time, the terminal applies the abandonment rule.

[0158] After the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval is completed, in one embodiment, the application of the abandonment rule includes:

[0159] After the first measurement interval or after the first measurement interval plus the third time, the abandonment rule is applied.

[0160] Here, the third time can be described as the third duration.

[0161] In one embodiment, the state of the pre-configured measurement interval becomes effective after the first measurement interval plus the third time.

[0162] Here, when there is a conflict (i.e., time-domain overlap) between the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, the process of the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval requires processing time. Due to the limited processing capacity of the terminal, the terminal cannot perform measurements within the first measurement interval and the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval simultaneously. Therefore, by delaying the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval, the state of the pre-configured measurement interval becomes effective after the first measurement interval plus the third time. In this way, the pre-configured measurement interval with the delayed state transition does not conflict with the first measurement interval. The state of the pre-configured measurement interval includes the activation state and / or the deactivation state of the pre-configured measurement interval.

[0163] In one embodiment, the activation time and / or deactivation time of the pre-configured measurement interval is the fourth time.

[0164] Here, the activation time and / or deactivation time of the pre-configured measurement interval is the fourth time; the fourth time can be a single time, or can be expressed as: processing time + fourth time; the processing time can be 5 milliseconds (ms). The fourth time is at the millisecond level, the fourth time can be 7 ms, or can be described as 5 ms + 2 ms. The fourth time can be 5 ms (depending on the terminal processing ability, some terminals may not require additional processing time). The activation time and / or deactivation time of the pre-configured measurement interval can also be described as the activation delay and / or deactivation delay of the pre-configured measurement interval. That is to say, the activation time of the pre-configured measurement interval can also be described as the activation delay of the pre-configured measurement interval; the deactivation time of the pre-configured measurement interval can also be described as the deactivation delay of the pre-configured measurement interval. The fourth time can be described as the fourth duration.

[0165] When the fourth time is expressed as: processing time + fourth time, since the activation time or deactivation time of the pre-configured measurement interval includes the processing time of the terminal for the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval, such as the processing time from activation to deactivation, the processing time from deactivation to activation, etc. If there is only one pre-configured processing time, then the value of the fourth time is equal to 0 ms; if there are 2 pre-configured measurement intervals in the first measurement interval, then the conflict between the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval includes the overlap between the pre-configured measurement intervals, then the 5 ms processing time is not enough and more time is needed (for example, the fourth time is 2 ms), and the fourth time can be used to determine the relationship between these 2 pre-configured measurement intervals to determine whether there is an overlap between them.

[0166] To solve the conflict between the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval to determine the currently used measurement interval, in one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0167] When there is a conflict between the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, delaying the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval; or

[0168] When the time distance between the pre-configured measurement interval to be activated and the first measurement interval is less than or equal to 5 milliseconds, abandoning the pre-configured measurement interval, and the abandoned pre-configured measurement interval is the first pre-configured measurement interval after the activation process of the pre-configured measurement interval.

[0169] Here, when there is a conflict between the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, the state transition process of the pre-configured measurement interval can be delayed until after the first measurement interval.

[0170] The activation time of the preconfigured measurement interval is typically 5 ms. If the time distance between the preconfigured measurement interval to be activated and the first measurement interval is less than or equal to 5 ms, the terminal cannot complete the activation process, which will affect the subsequent periodically arriving preconfigured measurement intervals, mainly affecting the first subsequent preconfigured measurement interval. To standardize the behavior of the terminal, it can be stipulated that the behavior of the terminal is to abandon the preconfigured measurement interval; that is, when the time distance between the preconfigured measurement interval to be activated and the first measurement interval is less than or equal to 5 ms, the terminal abandons the first preconfigured measurement interval after the preconfigured measurement interval activation process. During the time slot of the abandoned preconfigured measurement interval, the terminal can transmit at least one of the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), and Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), or receive at least one of the following: Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), Timing Reference Signal (TRS), and Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS).

[0171] In order to facilitate the terminal to determine the solution or handling method for measurement interval conflicts, in one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0172] Obtaining first information, the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0173] Second information, the second information is used to indicate that the terminal delays the state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval;

[0174] Third information, the third information is used to indicate that the terminal determines whether to delay the state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval based on the priority of the measurement interval;

[0175] Fourth information, the fourth information is used to indicate that the terminal determines whether to discard the preconfigured measurement interval based on the priority of the measurement interval.

[0176] Here, the terminal can obtain the first information from a network device, that is, obtain the first information from the network side, or can obtain the first information predefined in the protocol.

[0177] On the basis of obtaining the first information, if there is a conflict between the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, then the terminal determines which method to use to solve the measurement interval conflict problem based on the first information. Based on this, in one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0178] Perform at least one of the following operations:

[0179] After the MGL of the first measurement interval, perform a state transition on the preconfigured measurement interval;

[0180] When the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is higher than the priority of the first measurement interval, deprecate the first measurement interval;

[0181] When the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is lower than the priority of the first measurement interval, after the MGL of the first measurement interval, perform a state transition on the preconfigured measurement interval;

[0182] When the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is lower than the priority of the first measurement interval, perform measurements within the first measurement interval;

[0183] When the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is higher than the priority of the first measurement interval, perform a state transition on the preconfigured measurement interval.

[0184] Here, when there is a conflict between the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, and the first information includes the second information, the terminal can perform a state transition on the preconfigured measurement interval after the MGL of the first measurement interval.

[0185] When there is a conflict between the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, and the first information includes the third information, the terminal determines whether to delay the state transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval based on the priority of the measurement interval. Among them, when the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is lower than the priority of the first measurement interval, the terminal performs a state transition on the preconfigured measurement interval after the MGL of the first measurement interval and preferentially performs measurements within the first measurement interval; when the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is higher than the priority of the first measurement interval, the terminal performs a state transition on the preconfigured measurement interval and preferentially performs measurements within the preconfigured measurement interval. It should be noted that when the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is the same as the priority of the first measurement interval, a state transition on the preconfigured measurement interval can also be performed after the MGL of the first measurement interval.

[0186] When there is a conflict between the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, and the first information includes the fourth information, the terminal determines whether to deprecate the pre-configured measurement interval based on the priority of the measurement intervals. Specifically, when the priority of the pre-configured measurement interval is higher than that of the first measurement interval, the terminal deprecates the first measurement interval and performs measurements within the pre-configured measurement interval; when the priority of the pre-configured measurement interval is lower than that of the first measurement interval, the terminal deprecates the pre-configured measurement interval and performs measurements within the first measurement interval. It should be noted that when the priorities of the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval are the same, either the pre-configured measurement interval or the first measurement interval can be deprecated. The terminal determines whether to deprecate the pre-configured measurement interval based on the priority of the measurement intervals. This method is simple to implement. The terminal does not need to consider the impact of different states of the pre-configured measurement interval on the measurement interval overlap problem, nor does it need to adopt different processing methods for different states of the pre-configured measurement interval. However, it loses the throughput gain of the pre-configured measurement interval. Of course, if the pre-configured measurement interval is in the deactivated state, it is equivalent to not configuring the pre-configured measurement interval, and there is no throughput loss either.

[0187] To solve the conflict between the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval and determine the currently used measurement interval, in one embodiment, after the MGL of the first measurement interval, performing a state transition on the pre-configured measurement interval includes:

[0188] At a fifth time, activating or deactivating the pre-configured measurement interval; where

[0189] The fifth time represents the end moment of the MGL of the first measurement interval, or a time after the MGL of the first measurement interval plus a sixth time.

[0190] Here, the terminal can delay the state transition process of the pre-configured measurement interval until after the MGL of the first measurement interval, or until after the MGL of the first measurement interval plus a sixth time. For example, as Figure 4 shown, the terminal can activate or deactivate the pre-configured measurement interval at the end moment of the MGL of the first measurement interval. For another example, as Figure 5 shown, the terminal can activate or deactivate the pre-configured measurement interval at a time after the MGL of the first measurement interval plus a sixth time.

[0191] It should be noted that the fifth time can also be described as the fifth time delay or the fifth duration, and the sixth time can be described as the sixth duration.

[0192] Considering that different solutions to the above-mentioned measurement interval conflicts have different requirements for the capabilities of the terminal, in order to facilitate the network device to determine the solution to the measurement interval conflict, in one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0193] Sending fifth information to the network device, where the fifth information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0194] When there is a conflict between the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, whether the terminal supports delaying the state transition process of the pre-configured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval;

[0195] When the priority of the pre-configured measurement interval is lower than the priority of the first measurement interval, whether the terminal supports delaying the state transition process of the pre-configured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval;

[0196] Whether the terminal supports abandoning the first measurement interval whose priority is lower than the pre-configured measurement interval;

[0197] Whether the terminal supports the conflict between the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval.

[0198] Here, the fifth information can also be understood as the capability information of the terminal.

[0199] When the fifth information indicates that the terminal supports delaying the state transition process of the pre-configured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval, the first information may include the second information.

[0200] If the fifth information can indicate that when the priority of the pre-configured measurement interval is lower than the priority of the first measurement interval, the terminal supports delaying the state transition process of the pre-configured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval, then the first information may include the third information.

[0201] When the fifth information can indicate that the terminal supports abandoning the first measurement interval whose priority is lower than the pre-configured measurement interval, the first information may include the fourth information.

[0202] The conflict between the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval can also be described as: dynamic collision, that is, the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval dynamically collides with the first measurement interval. Because the pre-configured measurement interval is in the activation / deactivation process and its state is uncertain, it is described as dynamic collision.

[0203] In order to accurately determine whether there is a conflict between the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, in one embodiment, the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval have a conflict when at least one of the following conditions is met:

[0204] The pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval partially overlap in the time domain;

[0205] The pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval completely overlap in the time domain;

[0206] The distance between the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval is less than or equal to 4 milliseconds.

[0207] Here, the conflict between the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval also applies to the scenario where there is a conflict between the activated pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval. The activated pre-configured measurement interval refers to the pre-configured measurement interval that has completed the activation process and is in an activated state and is effective.

[0208] In one embodiment, the distance between the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval includes one of the following:

[0209] The time difference between the end point of the pre-configured measurement interval and the end point of the first measurement interval;

[0210] The time difference between the end point of the pre-configured measurement interval and the start point of the first measurement interval;

[0211] The time difference between the start point of the pre-configured measurement interval and the end point of the first measurement interval;

[0212] The time difference between the start point of the pre-configured measurement interval and the start point of the first measurement interval.

[0213] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0214] Abandon the first measurement interval when at least one of the following conditions is met:

[0215] The deactivation of the pre-configured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval;

[0216] The priority of the pre-configured measurement interval is high 。

[0217] Here, the abandonment of the first measurement interval can also be described as: performing measurements within a pre-configured measurement interval. The deactivation of the pre-configured measurement interval conflicting with the first measurement interval can also be described as: the deactivation process of the pre-configured measurement interval conflicting with the first measurement interval. Since it is the deactivation process (the deactivation process of the pre-configured measurement interval) that conflicts with the first measurement interval, and the state of the pre-configured measurement interval before the deactivation process is active, if the priority of the Pre-MG (pre-configured measurement interval) is high, then measurements can be preferentially performed in the Pre-MG during the state ambiguity stage; here, during the state ambiguity stage, it is impossible to determine whether the pre-configured measurement interval has been deactivated. The high priority of the pre-configured measurement interval can also be described as: the priority of the pre-configured measurement interval is higher than the priority of the first measurement interval.

[0218] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0219] Performing measurements within the first measurement interval when at least one of the following conditions is satisfied:

[0220] The activation of the pre-configured measurement interval conflicts with the first measurement interval;

[0221] The priority of the pre-configured measurement interval is low;

[0222] The priority of the pre-configured measurement interval is high.

[0223] Here, the abandonment of the first measurement interval can also be described as: performing measurements within a pre-configured measurement interval. The activation of the pre-configured measurement interval conflicting with the first measurement interval can also be described as: the activation process of the pre-configured measurement interval conflicting with the first measurement interval. Since it is the activation process (the activation process of the pre-configured measurement interval) that conflicts with the first measurement interval, and the state of the pre-configured measurement interval before the activation process is deactivated, so regardless of whether the priority of the Pre-MG (pre-configured measurement interval) is high or low, measurements can be preferentially performed in the first measurement interval during the state ambiguity stage; here, during the state ambiguity stage, it is impossible to determine whether the pre-configured measurement interval has been activated. The low priority of the pre-configured measurement interval can also be described as: the priority of the pre-configured measurement interval is lower than the priority of the first measurement interval, or described as the high priority of the first measurement interval.

[0224] Based on the state transition of the pre-configured measurement interval including the activation and / or deactivation of the pre-configured measurement interval, in one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0225] Performing measurements within the first measurement interval, and the activation of the pre-configured measurement interval is postponed to a first time point, where the first time point is the end point of the first measurement interval plus 5 milliseconds.

[0226] Here, the activation of the pre-configured measurement interval is postponed to the first time point, which can be understood as: postponing the activation process of the pre-configured measurement interval to the first time point, and the first time point can be understood as a moment. The first time point is the end point of the first measurement interval plus 5 milliseconds, which can be understood as: the first time point is 5 milliseconds after the end point of the first measurement interval; that is to say, there is a 5-millisecond interval between the first time point and the end point of the first measurement interval, and the first time point is after the end point of the first measurement interval.

[0227] Correspondingly, an embodiment of the present application further provides a measurement method, which is applied to a network device. The network device can be understood as a network-side device, including a base station. As Figure 6 shown, the method includes:

[0228] Step 601: Send the first information to the terminal.

[0229] Wherein, the first information includes at least one of the following:

[0230] The second information, which is used to instruct the terminal to delay the state conversion process of the pre-configured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval;

[0231] The third information, which is used to instruct the terminal to determine whether to delay the state conversion process of the pre-configured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval based on the priority of the measurement interval;

[0232] The fourth information, which is used to instruct the terminal to determine whether to discard the pre-configured measurement interval based on the priority of the measurement interval.

[0233] The network device can send the first information based on the capabilities of the terminal. Based on this, in one embodiment, before sending the first information to the terminal, the method further includes:

[0234] Receiving the fifth information sent by the terminal, wherein,

[0235] The fifth information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0236] Whether the terminal supports delaying the state conversion process of the pre-configured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval when there is a conflict between the pre-configured measurement interval and the first measurement interval;

[0237] Whether the terminal supports delaying the state conversion process of the pre-configured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval when the priority of the pre-configured measurement interval is lower than the priority of the first measurement interval;

[0238] Whether the terminal supports abandoning the first measurement interval whose priority is lower than the pre-configured measurement interval;

[0239] The conflict between the status transition of whether the terminal supports the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval.

[0240] Here, when there is a conflict between the preconfigured measurement interval and the first measurement interval, if the terminal supports delaying the status transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval, then the first information may include the second information; if the terminal does not support delaying the status transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval, then the first information does not include the second information.

[0241] When the priority of the preconfigured measurement interval is lower than the priority of the first measurement interval, if the terminal supports delaying the status transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval, then the third information included in the first information is used to instruct the terminal to determine whether to delay the status transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval based on the priority of the measurement interval; if the terminal does not support delaying the status transition process of the preconfigured measurement interval until after the first measurement interval, then the first information may not include the third information.

[0242] When the fifth information indicates that the terminal supports abandoning the first measurement interval whose priority is lower than the preconfigured measurement interval, the fourth information included in the first information is used for the terminal to determine whether to deprecate the preconfigured measurement interval based on the priority of the measurement interval; when the fifth information indicates that the terminal does not support abandoning the first measurement interval whose priority is lower than the preconfigured measurement interval, the fourth information that may be included in the first information.

[0243] To implement the method on the terminal side in the embodiments of the present application, the embodiments of the present application further provide a measurement device, which is set on the terminal, as Figure 7 shown, the device includes:

[0256] In one embodiment, the first processing unit 701 is specifically configured to perform measurements within the first measurement interval within a first time range; wherein, the first time range includes at least one of the following:
