[0109] Here, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and the examples are shown in the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0110] It should be noted that in this application, the term "include", "comprise" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "including one..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device including such element.

[0111] In this application, the term "include" and its variants may refer to non-restrictive inclusion; the term "or" and its variants may refer to "and / or". In this application, terms such as "first", "second", etc. are used to distinguish similar objects and do not necessarily need to describe a specific order or sequence. In this application, "a plurality of" means two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects and indicates that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B may represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the related objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0112] First, the professional terms related to this application are described.

[0113] Frequency point is the number assigned to a fixed frequency.

[0114] Co-frequency neighboring cell refers to an adjacent cell with the same frequency point as the serving cell.

[0115] Hetero-frequency neighboring cell refers to an adjacent cell with a different frequency point from the serving cell.

[0116] In the related art, the related content of the low-power wake-up signal is being discussed.

[0117] The above related content includes the following two understandings:

[0118] 1. When the main receiver of the terminal is in a deep sleep state, the network can send a low-power wake-up signal to wake up the main receiver of the terminal for relevant data transmission, that is, the terminal receives the low-power wake-up signal through the low-power receiver to determine whether the main receiver of the terminal needs to exit the sleep mode and enter the active state;

[0119] 2. When the main receiver of the terminal is in the shutdown state or the flight mode, the network can wake up the main receiver of the terminal to perform relevant data transmission by sending a low-power wake-up signal, that is, the low-power receiver of the terminal determines whether the main receiver of the terminal needs to be powered on or exit the flight mode and enter the active state by receiving the low-power wake-up signal. At this time, since the main circuit is in the shutdown state or the flight mode and cannot receive any signals, the terminal needs to receive the wake-up signal through an independent receiving circuit.

[0120] In the above two understandings, in order to enable the main receiver of the terminal to be in the deep sleep state for a long time, or in the shutdown state or the flight mode, the main receiver of the terminal cannot perform frequent RRM measurement activities or cannot perform RRM measurement activities for a long time.

[0121] In addition, in other related technologies, the main receiver in the terminal performs all RRM measurement activities.

[0122] The main receiver in the terminal performing all RRM measurements will result in relatively high power consumption of the terminal, making it impossible for the main receiver of the terminal to enter or remain in the deep sleep state, or the shutdown state, or the flight mode for a long time.

[0123] To reduce the power consumption of the terminal and extend the standby time of the terminal, the present application provides a cell measurement method. In this method, the low-power wake-up receiver receives and measures the reference signal of the serving cell to obtain the first signal quality; according to the first signal quality and the signal quality threshold, it is determined whether the main receiver performs cell measurement or does not perform cell measurement, so as to implement partial RRM measurement by the low-power wake-up receiver, reduce the RRM measurement activities determined to be performed by the main receiver, extend the standby time of the main receiver of the terminal, and thus reduce the power consumption of the terminal.

[0124] The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above technical problems will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments below can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0125] Figure 1 It is one of the flow diagrams of the cell measurement method provided by the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, the method includes:

[0126] S101. The terminal receives and measures the reference signal of the serving cell through a low-power wake-up receiver (LP-WUP) to obtain the first signal quality.

[0127] The reference signal of the serving cell is the reference signal sent by the network-side device corresponding to the serving cell.

[0128] The first signal quality can also be referred to as the measurement result of the serving cell, or the measurement result of the serving cell, etc.

[0129] Optionally, the first signal quality may include a first Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP) value and / or a first Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ) value.

[0130] S102. The terminal determines whether the master receiver (MR) performs cell measurement or does not perform cell measurement according to the first signal quality and the signal quality threshold.

[0131] Optionally, when executing S102, the method provided in this application may further include: receiving the signal quality threshold configured by the network-side device and storing the signal quality threshold.

[0132] Optionally, the signal quality threshold may be carried in the system information.

[0133] In a cell measurement method provided in an embodiment of this application, by waking up the receiver with low power consumption, receiving and measuring the reference signal of the serving cell to obtain the first signal quality, without the RRM measurement performed by the master receiver, the power consumption of the terminal is reduced, and the standby time of the terminal is extended. Further, according to the first signal quality and the signal quality threshold, it is determined whether the master receiver performs cell measurement or does not perform cell measurement, so as to reduce the RRM measurement determined by the master receiver, further reduce the power consumption of the terminal, and extend the standby time of the terminal.

[0134] In this application, cell measurement includes one or more of the following:

[0135] Measurement of the serving cell;

[0136] Measurement of the co-frequency neighboring cell;

[0137] Measurement of the inter-frequency neighboring cell corresponding to the first inter-frequency frequency point;

[0138] Measurement of the inter-frequency neighboring cell corresponding to the second inter-frequency frequency point;

[0139] Measurement of the inter-frequency neighboring cell corresponding to the third inter-frequency frequency point.

[0140] The measurement of the co-frequency neighboring cell refers to receiving and measuring the reference signal of the co-frequency neighboring cell of the serving cell. The co-frequency neighboring cell of the serving cell is adjacent to the serving cell and has the same frequency point as the serving cell.

[0141] Inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement refers to receiving and measuring the reference signals of inter-frequency neighbor cells of the serving cell. The inter-frequency neighbor cells of the serving cell are adjacent to the serving cell and have different frequency points from the serving cell.

[0142] In this application, the first inter-frequency frequency point is an inter-frequency frequency point whose priority in all inter-frequency frequency points is higher than that of the serving cell; the second inter-frequency frequency point is an inter-frequency frequency point whose priority in all inter-frequency frequency points is lower than or equal to that of the serving cell; the third inter-frequency frequency point is all inter-frequency frequency points.

[0143] All inter-frequency frequency points are the inter-frequency frequency points configured by the network-side device for the terminal.

[0144] In the embodiments of this application, S102 can be implemented in the following four ways (Way 1, 2, 3, 4).

[0145] In some embodiments, the signal quality threshold includes a fourth threshold; by waking up the low-power receiver, receiving and measuring the reference signal of the serving cell to obtain the first signal quality, including:

[0146] Receiving and measuring the reference signal of the serving cell through the main receiver to obtain the second signal quality;

[0147] When the second signal quality is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold, wake up the low-power receiver to receive and measure the reference signal of the serving cell to obtain the first signal quality.

[0148] The second signal quality includes a second RSRP value and / or a second RSRQ value.

[0149] Optionally, the fourth threshold includes: a fourth RSRP threshold and / or a fourth RSRQ threshold.

[0150] For example, when the second signal quality is the second RSRP value, the fourth threshold can be the fourth RSRP threshold.

[0151] For example, when the second signal quality is the second RSRQ value, the fourth threshold can be the fourth RSRQ threshold.

[0152] Way 1, the signal quality threshold includes a first threshold and / or a second threshold; S102 specifically includes:

[0153] If the first signal quality is less than (or less than or equal to) the first threshold, it is determined that the main receiver performs co-frequency neighbor cell measurement; otherwise, it is determined that the main receiver does not perform co-frequency neighbor cell measurement;

[0154] and / or,

[0155] If the first signal quality is less than (or, less than or equal to) the second threshold, it is determined that the primary receiver performs inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement corresponding to the third inter-frequency frequency point; otherwise, it is determined that the primary receiver does not perform inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement corresponding to the third inter-frequency frequency point, or it is determined that the primary receiver performs inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement corresponding to the first inter-frequency frequency point.

[0156] Optionally, when the first signal quality is greater than or equal to (or, greater than) the first threshold, it is determined that the primary receiver does not perform co-frequency neighbor cell measurement, but performs inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement corresponding to the first inter-frequency frequency point.

[0157] Optionally, the first threshold includes: the first RSRP threshold and / or the first RSRQ threshold.

[0158] Optionally, the second threshold includes: the second RSRP threshold and / or the second RSRQ threshold.

[0159] For example, when the first signal quality is the first RSRP value, the first threshold may be the first RSRP threshold, and the second threshold may be the second RSRP threshold.

[0160] For example, when the first signal quality is the first RSRQ value, the first threshold may be the first RSRQ threshold, and the second threshold may be the second RSRQ threshold.

[0161] For example, when the first signal quality includes the first RSRP value and the first RSRQ value, the first threshold includes the first RSRQ threshold and the first RSRQ threshold, and the second threshold may include the second RSRP threshold and the second RSRQ threshold.

[0162] Optionally, when the terminal is in the first state, the low-power wake-up receiver is used to receive and measure the reference signal of the serving cell to obtain the first signal quality. If the first signal quality is less than (or, less than or equal to) the first threshold, it is determined that the primary receiver performs co-frequency neighbor cell measurement; otherwise, it is determined that the primary receiver does not perform co-frequency neighbor cell measurement; and / or, if the first signal quality is less than (or, less than or equal to) the second threshold, it is determined that the primary receiver performs inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement corresponding to the third inter-frequency frequency point; otherwise, it is determined that the primary receiver performs inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement corresponding to the first inter-frequency frequency point.

[0163] Optionally, when the terminal is in the second state, the low-power wake-up receiver is used to receive and measure the reference signal of the serving cell to obtain the first signal quality. If the first signal quality is less than (or, less than or equal to) the first threshold, it is determined that the primary receiver performs co-frequency neighbor cell measurement; otherwise, it is determined that the primary receiver does not perform co-frequency neighbor cell measurement; and / or, if the first signal quality is less than (or, less than or equal to) the second threshold, it is determined that the primary receiver performs inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement corresponding to the third inter-frequency frequency point; otherwise, it is determined that the primary receiver does not perform inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement corresponding to the third inter-frequency frequency point.

[0164] When the terminal is in the first state, the primary receiver is in the deep sleep state, and the primary receiver does not perform any data transmission and non-high-priority RRM measurements.

[0165] When the terminal is in the second state, the primary receiver is in the deep sleep state, and the primary receiver does not perform any data transmission nor any RRM measurements.

[0166] In mode 1, if the first signal quality is less than (or, less than or equal to) the first threshold, it is determined that the primary receiver performs co-frequency neighbor cell measurements; otherwise, it is determined that the primary receiver does not perform co-frequency neighbor cell measurements. When the signal quality of the serving cell is poor, only the primary receiver is determined to perform co-frequency neighbor cell measurements. When the signal quality of the serving cell is good, only the primary receiver is determined not to perform co-frequency neighbor cell measurements, which can avoid the primary receiver performing all RRM measurements, reduce the power consumption of the terminal, and extend the standby time of the terminal.

[0167] In mode 1, if the first signal quality is less than (or, less than or equal to) the second threshold, it is determined that the primary receiver performs inter-frequency neighbor cell measurements corresponding to the third inter-frequency point; otherwise, it is determined that the primary receiver does not perform inter-frequency neighbor cell measurements corresponding to the third inter-frequency point (i.e., performs all RRM measurements), or it is determined that the primary receiver performs inter-frequency neighbor cell measurements corresponding to the first inter-frequency point (i.e., performs high-priority RRM measurements). When the signal quality of the serving cell is poor, it is determined that the primary receiver performs inter-frequency neighbor cell measurements corresponding to all inter-frequency points. When the signal quality of the serving cell is good, it is determined that the primary receiver does not perform all RRM measurements or it is determined that the primary receiver performs high-priority RRM measurements, which can avoid the primary receiver performing all RRM measurements and achieve the purpose of reducing the power consumption of the terminal and extending the standby time of the terminal.

[0168] Mode 2, the signal quality threshold includes: the third threshold; S102 specifically includes:

[0169] If the first signal quality is less than (or, less than or equal to) the third threshold, it is determined that the primary receiver performs measurements on the serving cell; otherwise, it is determined that the primary receiver performs inter-frequency neighbor cell measurements corresponding to the first inter-frequency point, or it is determined that the primary receiver does not perform inter-frequency neighbor cell measurements corresponding to the third inter-frequency point.

[0170] Optionally, when the first signal quality is less than (or, less than or equal to) the third threshold, it can also be determined that the primary receiver performs inter-frequency neighbor cell measurements corresponding to the first inter-frequency point and measurements on the serving cell.

[0171] Optionally, the third threshold includes: the third RSRP threshold and / or the third RSRQ threshold.

[0172] For example, when the first signal quality is the first RSRP value, the third threshold may be the third RSRP threshold.

[0173] For example, when the first signal quality is the first RSRQ value, the third threshold may be the third RSRQ threshold.

[0174] Optionally, if the first signal quality is less than (or less than or equal to) the third threshold, stop the low-power wake-up receiver from receiving the reference signal.

[0175] Optionally, if the first signal quality is less than (or less than or equal to) the third threshold, stop the low-power wake-up receiver from measuring the serving cell.

[0176] In this application, measuring the serving cell means measuring the reference signal of the serving cell.

[0177] Optionally, when the terminal is in the first state, receive and measure the reference signal of the serving cell through the low-power wake-up receiver to obtain the first signal quality. If the first signal quality is less than (or less than or equal to) the third threshold, determine that the main receiver performs the measurement of the serving cell; otherwise, determine that the main receiver performs the measurement of the inter-frequency neighboring cell corresponding to the first inter-frequency frequency point.

[0178] Optionally, when the terminal is in the second state, receive and measure the reference signal of the serving cell through the low-power wake-up receiver to obtain the first signal quality. If the first signal quality is less than (or less than or equal to) the third threshold, determine that the main receiver performs the measurement of the serving cell; otherwise, determine that the main receiver does not perform the measurement of the inter-frequency neighboring cell corresponding to the third inter-frequency frequency point.

Specifically, receive and measure the reference signal of the serving cell through the main receiver to obtain the second signal quality; when the second signal quality is greater than or equal to the third threshold, determine that the terminal is in the first state.

[0180] Optionally, in the above-mentioned Method 1 and Method 2, when the network-side device configures the fourth threshold, the fourth threshold may be used to determine whether the terminal is in the first state. Specifically, receive and measure the reference signal of the serving cell through the main receiver to obtain the second signal quality; when the second signal quality is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold, determine that the terminal is in the first state.

[0181] In Mode 2, if the first signal quality is less than (or less than or equal to) the third threshold, it is determined that the primary receiver performs measurements on the serving cell; otherwise, it is determined that the primary receiver performs measurements on the inter-frequency neighboring cells corresponding to the first inter-frequency frequency point, or it is determined that the primary receiver does not perform measurements on the inter-frequency neighboring cells corresponding to the third inter-frequency frequency point. When the signal quality of the serving cell is poor, it can be determined that the primary receiver performs RRM measurements on the serving cell. When the signal quality of the serving cell is good, it is only determined that the primary receiver performs high-priority RRM measurements or does not perform any RRM measurements, which can avoid the primary receiver from performing all RRM measurements, achieving the purpose of reducing the power consumption of the terminal and extending the standby time of the terminal.
