Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method, device, terminal, storage medium, and product for measuring neighboring cells of a terminal. Background Art

[0002] There are two methods for measuring the serving cell of the current fourth-generation mobile communication technology (4G) and the neighboring cell of the fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5G), namely gapless measurement and adaptive gap measurement. Gapless measurement is a measurement method that does not require disconnecting the network connection of the serving cell when measuring the neighboring cell; adaptive gap measurement refers to a measurement method that periodically disconnects the network connection of the serving cell and measures the neighboring cell during the period of disconnection of the serving cell.

[0003] Since gapless measurement needs to be implemented based on the Enhanced-Data for GSM Evolution New Radio Dual Connectivity (ENDC) combination, the ENDC frequency band combination includes the frequency band of the 4G cell and the frequency band of the 5G cell; and the terminal will be configured with the ENDC frequency band combination only when it has ENDC capability. However, in order to save the cost of the terminal, a DC-DC converter (Direct Current-Direct Current Converter, DCDC) in the terminal is often removed, so that the terminal is made into a terminal that only supports independent networking (Standalone, SA). At this time, the terminal does not have ENDC capability, which results in the terminal not being configured with the ENDC frequency band combination, that is, the terminal cannot perform neighboring cell measurements through gapless measurement. Therefore, terminals that only support SA can only use the adaptive gap measurement method when performing neighboring cell measurements.

[0004] When performing neighboring cell measurements using interval measurements, it is necessary to disconnect the network connection of the serving cell. Disconnecting the network connection of the serving cell may cause the terminal to freeze, thereby affecting the communication quality. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The embodiments of the present application provide a method, apparatus, terminal, storage medium, and product for measuring neighboring cells of a terminal. The technical solution is as follows:

When the first measurement mode is gapless measurement, gapless measurement is performed on the neighboring cell through multiple receiving channels. When gapless measurement is performed on the neighboring cell, the network connection of the serving cell will not be disconnected. Therefore, the phenomenon of terminal jamming is reduced, thereby improving the communication quality of the terminal. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the implementation methods of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] In this document, "plurality" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes a relationship between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates an "or" relationship between the associated objects.

[0032] It should be noted that the information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.), data (including but not limited to data used for analysis, stored data, displayed data, etc.) and signals involved in this application are all authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties, and the collection, use and processing of relevant data must comply with the relevant laws, regulations and standards of relevant countries and regions.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a schematic diagram of an implementation environment for a neighbor cell measurement method for a terminal provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The implementation environment includes: a terminal 101 and a network device 102. The network device 102 includes at least one cell. The terminal 101 accesses the cell included in the network device 102, thereby communicating through the network provided by the network device 102.

[0034] In some embodiments, terminal 101 supports access to cells of multiple network standards; for example, terminal 101 supports access to 4G cells and 5G cells; and terminal 101 can also switch between cells of multiple network standards to improve the communication quality of terminal 101. For example, if the serving cell currently accessed by terminal 101 is a 4G cell, terminal 101 can switch to a 5G cell to improve the communication quality of terminal 101. Before performing cell switching, terminal 101 needs to measure neighboring cells using neighboring cell measurement methods of different network standards, and then perform cell switching if the measured network information of the neighboring cells meets the access conditions.

[0035] The network information of the neighboring cell includes at least one of the signal quality of the neighboring cell, the signal strength of the neighboring cell, and the load size of the neighboring cell. Accordingly, the access condition includes at least one of the signal quality of the neighboring cell being greater than a first preset quality, the signal strength of the neighboring cell being greater than a preset strength, or the load size of the neighboring cell being less than a preset load size.

[0036] Neighbor cell measurement methods include gapless measurement and adaptive measurement. Gapless measurement refers to a measurement method that does not require disconnecting the serving cell's network connection when performing neighbor cell measurement. Adaptive gap measurement refers to a measurement method that periodically disconnects the serving cell's network connection and performs neighbor cell measurement during the period of disconnection. That is, when performing adaptive gap measurement on a neighbor cell, the serving cell's network connection needs to be disconnected.

[0037] Since gapless measurement needs to be implemented based on the ENDC frequency band combination, the ENDC frequency band combination includes the frequency band of the 4G cell and the frequency band of the 5G cell; and the terminal 101 will be configured with the ENDC frequency band combination only when it has ENDC capability. However, in order to save the cost of the terminal 101, one DCDC in the terminal 101 is often removed, so that the terminal 101 is made into a terminal 101 that supports SA but does not support NSA. At this time, the terminal 101 does not have ENDC capability, which results in the terminal 101 not being configured with the ENDC frequency band combination, that is, the terminal 101 cannot perform gapless measurement on the neighboring cell. Therefore, the terminal 101 that supports SA but does not support NSA can only use the adaptive gap measurement method when performing neighboring cell measurement.

[0038] For example, see Figure 2 , the serving cell currently accessed by the terminal 101 is a 4G cell, that is, the network currently accessed by the terminal 101 is a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, then the terminal 101 starts a measurement duration (gap) of 6 milliseconds for the LTE network within a measurement period of 80 milliseconds, that is, within the measurement period of 80 milliseconds, the network connection with the serving cell is disconnected within a measurement duration of 6 milliseconds, and the network connection with the network cell is maintained within 74 milliseconds. The process of neighboring cell measurement can be to measure the synchronization signal block (SSB) of the wireless air interface technology (New Radio, NR), and obtain the network information of the neighboring cell in the NR network based on the SSB.

[0039] based on Figure 2 It can be seen that when performing neighbor cell measurements using interval measurement, the network connection of the serving cell needs to be periodically disconnected, and disconnecting the network connection of the serving cell may cause the terminal 101 to freeze, thereby affecting the user's communication experience.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present application, a measurement capability table is configured for the terminal, and the measurement capability table includes a frequency band combination that supports gapless measurement; therefore, when the terminal performs neighboring cell measurement, the first frequency band of the serving cell and the second frequency band of the neighboring cell are compared with the frequency band combination in the measurement capability table to determine the first measurement mode of the neighboring cell, so that the terminal can use the gapless measurement mode to perform neighboring cell measurement, thereby reducing the phenomenon of terminal jamming, thereby improving the communication quality of the terminal.

[0041] The terminal 101 may include various handheld devices with wireless communication capabilities, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, computing devices, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, as well as various forms of user equipment (UE), mobile stations (MS), etc. For ease of description, in the embodiments of this application, the above-mentioned devices are collectively referred to as the terminal 101. In the embodiments of this application, "UE" is sometimes used to represent "terminal 101."

[0042] The network device 102 is a device for providing wireless communication services to the terminal 101. The network device 102 may include various forms of macro base stations, micro base stations, relay stations, access points, and the like. In systems using different wireless access technologies, the names of devices with base station functions may be different. For example, in a 5G wireless air interface technology (New Radio, NR) system, it is called a 5G base station (gNodeB or gNB). With the evolution of communication technology, the name "base station" may change. For the convenience of description, in the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned devices that provide wireless communication services to the terminal 101 are collectively referred to as network devices 102.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 3 , which shows a flowchart of a neighboring cell measurement method for a terminal provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method may include the following steps:

[0044] Step 301: The terminal determines a first frequency band of a serving cell and a second frequency band of a neighboring cell.

[0045] The network standard of the serving cell is different from that of the neighboring cell. For example, the network standard of the serving cell is 4G and the network standard of the neighboring cell is 5G; or, the network standard of the serving cell is 5G and the network standard of the neighboring cell is 4G. In the embodiment of the present application, the network standard of the serving cell is 4G and the network standard of the neighboring cell is 5G for illustration, that is, the terminal accesses the LTE network corresponding to 4G and searches for the NR network corresponding to 5G based on the LTE network.

[0046] Step 302: The terminal determines a first measurement mode of the terminal based on the first frequency band, the second frequency band and the measurement capability table. The measurement capability table includes at least one frequency band combination. The frequency band combination includes two frequency bands that support gapless measurement. Gapless measurement refers to a measurement mode that maintains the network connection of the serving cell while measuring the neighboring cell.

[0047] In the related art, when the terminal does not have ENDC capability, the ENDC frequency band combination will not be configured for the terminal, resulting in the terminal being unable to perform gapless measurement of neighboring cells based on the ENDC frequency band combination. In an embodiment of the present application, when the terminal does not have ENDC capability and the terminal has multiple receiving channels, the terminal can support gapless measurement; therefore, a measurement capability table is configured for the terminal, and the measurement capability table includes at least one frequency band combination that supports gapless measurement; although the terminal does not support ENDC capability, the terminal can perform gapless measurement of neighboring cells based on the measurement capability table, and when performing gapless measurement of neighboring cells, the network connection of the serving cell will not be disconnected, thereby reducing the phenomenon of terminal freezes, thereby improving the communication quality of the terminal.

[0048] Step 303: When the first measurement mode is gapless measurement, the terminal performs gapless measurement on neighboring cells through multiple receiving channels and maintains the network connection of the serving cell.

[0049] The terminal maintains a network connection to the serving cell via a first receiving channel among multiple receiving channels, and measures a neighboring cell via a second receiving channel among the multiple receiving channels. For example, the terminal receives data sent by a network device in the serving cell via the first receiving channel, and receives network information of the neighboring cell sent by the network device in the neighboring cell via the second receiving channel. The network information of the neighboring cell includes at least one of the signal quality of the neighboring cell, the signal strength of the neighboring cell, and the load size of the neighboring cell.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal has multiple receiving channels, and the terminal supports gapless measurement. Therefore, a measurement capability table is configured for the terminal with multiple receiving channels, and the measurement capability table includes a frequency band combination that supports gapless measurement; when neighboring cell measurement is required, the first frequency band of the serving cell and the second frequency band of the neighboring cell are matched with the frequency band combination in the measurement capability table to determine the first measurement mode of the neighboring cell of the terminal. When the first measurement mode is gapless measurement, gapless measurement is performed on the neighboring cell through multiple receiving channels. When gapless measurement is performed on the neighboring cell, the network connection of the serving cell will not be disconnected. Therefore, the phenomenon of terminal jamming is reduced, thereby improving the communication quality of the terminal.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 4, which shows a flowchart of a neighboring cell measurement method for a terminal provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method may include the following steps:

[0052] Step 401: The terminal determines the networking capability.

[0053] The networking capability is used to characterize the networking type supported by the terminal. When the networking capability characterizes that the terminal supports standalone networking (SA) but does not support non-standalone networking (NSA), the terminal determines that the terminal does not have ENDC capability and executes step 402. For example, a terminal that supports SA but does not support NSA may also be referred to as an SA ONLY terminal. When the networking capability characterizes that the terminal supports SA and NSA, the terminal determines a second measurement mode of the terminal based on the first frequency band, the second frequency band, and the ENDC frequency band combination, where the ENDC frequency band combination is a frequency band combination that supports ENDC capability. Based on the second measurement mode, the terminal measures the neighboring cell.

[0054] In a possible implementation, the step of determining the second measurement mode of the terminal based on the first frequency band, the second frequency band and the frequency band combination of ENDC may be: the terminal determines a target frequency band combination of the first frequency band and the second frequency band, and determines whether there is a target frequency band combination in the frequency band combination of ENDC; when the target frequency band combination exists in the frequency band combination of ENDC, determining that the second measurement mode is gapless measurement; when there is no target frequency band combination in the frequency band combination of ENDC, determining that the second measurement mode is an adaptive gap measurement mode.

[0055] In another possible implementation, the step of measuring the neighboring cell by the terminal based on the second measurement mode may be: when the second measurement mode is gapless measurement, the terminal performs gapless measurement on the neighboring cell through multiple receiving channels and maintains the network connection of the serving cell; when the second measurement mode is adaptive gap measurement, the terminal disconnects the network connection of the serving cell and performs adaptive gap measurement on the neighboring cell.

[0056] The terminal can determine the networking capability by the number of DCDCs included in the terminal; accordingly, the step of the terminal determining the networking capability may be: the terminal determines the number of DCDCs included in the terminal; when the number of DCDCs included in the terminal is one, the terminal determines that the networking capability characterizes that the terminal supports SA and does not support NSA; when the number of DCDCs included in the terminal is multiple, the terminal determines that the networking capability characterizes that the terminal supports SA and supports NSA.

[0057] In one possible implementation, neighbor cell measurements are performed only when the signal quality of the serving cell is poor in an attempt to switch to the neighbor cell; accordingly, the terminal determines the signal quality of the serving cell, and determines the networking capability when the signal quality of the serving cell is lower than a second preset quality.

[0058] Step 402: When the networking capability characterizes that the terminal supports SA but does not support NSA, the terminal determines a first frequency band of the serving cell and a second frequency band of the neighboring cell.

[0059] When the networking capability indicates that the terminal supports SA but not NSA, it is determined that the terminal does not have ENDC capability, that is, the terminal is an SA ONLY terminal; however, the SA ONLY terminal has multiple receiving channels. Therefore, the terminal can perform gapless measurement of neighboring cells. For example, please refer to Figure 5 , determine the terminal's networking capability in real time; when the networking capability characterizes the terminal as an SA ONLY terminal, determine the first frequency band and the second frequency band; when the networking capability characterizes the terminal as not SA ONLY, process it through the default processing logic. Among them, the default processing logic is that the terminal determines the second measurement mode of the terminal based on the first frequency band, the second frequency band and the frequency band combination of ENDC, and the frequency band combination of ENDC is a frequency band combination that supports ENDC capability; based on the second measurement mode, measure the neighboring cell. Alternatively, the default processing logic is to perform adaptive gap measurement on the neighboring cell.

[0060] The first frequency band is the frequency band registered by the terminal; the second frequency band is the frequency band measured by the terminal. The network standard of the serving cell is different from the network standard of the neighboring cell. For example, the network standard of the serving cell is 4G, and the network standard of the neighboring cell is 5G; or, the network standard of the serving cell is 5G, and the network standard of the neighboring cell is 4G. In the embodiment of the present application, the network standard of the serving cell is 4G and the network standard of the neighboring cell is 5G for illustration, that is, the terminal accesses the LTE network corresponding to 4G, and searches for the NR network corresponding to 5G based on the LTE network.

[0061] In one possible implementation, when the terminal searches for the NR network corresponding to 5G based on the LTE network corresponding to 4G, it performs neighboring cell measurement; accordingly, the step of the terminal determining the first frequency band of the serving cell and the second frequency band of the neighboring cell may be: when the network standard of the serving cell is 4G and the network standard of the neighboring cell is 5G, the terminal determines the first frequency band and the second frequency band.

[0062] In another possible implementation, when the terminal searches for the LTE network corresponding to 4G based on the NR network corresponding to 5G, it performs neighboring cell measurement; accordingly, the step of the terminal determining the first frequency band of the serving cell and the second frequency band of the neighboring cell may be: when the network standard of the serving cell is 5G and the network standard of the neighboring cell is 4G, the terminal determines the first frequency band and the second frequency band.

[0063] Step 403: The terminal determines a target frequency band combination of the first frequency band and the second frequency band.

[0064] For example, see Figure 6 , the terminal includes monitoring services, data services and processing services; the monitoring service monitors whether the terminal is an SA ONLY terminal, and determines the first frequency band and the second frequency band, and determines the target frequency band combination of the first frequency band and the second frequency band.

[0065] Step 404: The terminal compares the target frequency band combination with the frequency band combinations in the measurement capability table to obtain a comparison result. The comparison result is used to indicate whether the target frequency band combination exists in the measurement capability table.

[0066] The measurement capability table includes at least one frequency band combination; the frequency band combination includes two frequency bands that support gapless measurement. Furthermore, a measurement flag bit is added to the measurement capability table. The measurement flag bit is used to indicate that the frequency band combination in the measurement capability table is used for measurement, rather than that the terminal actually supports the frequency band combination. Accordingly, when the measurement capability table includes the measurement flag bit, the terminal determines a first measurement mode of the terminal based on the first frequency band, the second frequency band, and the measurement capability table. The measurement flag bit is used to indicate that the frequency band combination in the measurement capability table is used for neighboring cell measurement.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present application, the process of determining the first measurement mode of the terminal based on the first frequency band, the second frequency band, and the measurement capability table includes comparing the target frequency band combination of the first frequency band and the second frequency band with the frequency band combination in the measurement capability table. When the measurement capability table includes a measurement flag bit, the terminal compares the target frequency band combination with the frequency band combination in the measurement capability table to obtain a comparison result. When the measurement capability table does not include the measurement flag bit, the terminal performs adaptive gap measurement on the neighboring cell. Adaptive gap measurement refers to disconnecting the network connection of the serving cell when measuring the neighboring cell.

[0068] In one possible implementation, the measurement capability table includes at least one of a first frequency band combination, a second frequency band combination, and a third frequency band combination, the first frequency band combination being a frequency band combination supporting ENDC capability, the second frequency band combination being a frequency band combination supporting dual SIM dual active (DSDA), and the third frequency band combination being a configured frequency band combination. Accordingly, the terminal compares the target frequency band combination with the frequency band combinations in the measurement capability table, and the step of obtaining a comparison result may be: the terminal compares the target frequency band combination with at least one of the first frequency band combination, the second frequency band combination, and the third frequency band combination to obtain a comparison result, and the comparison result is used to characterize at least one of whether the first frequency band combination exists in the target frequency band combination, whether the second frequency band combination exists in the target frequency band combination, and whether the third frequency band combination exists in the target frequency band combination.

[0069] The first frequency band combination may be a frequency band combination for measuring ENDC, and the first frequency band combination may be configured in a communication data field (CDF) of a communication chip in the terminal. The communication chip may be a MediaTek (MTK) or Qualcomm chip. In one possible implementation, a measurement flag bit is added to the first frequency band combination, so that when the first frequency band combination includes a measurement flag bit, the target frequency band combination is compared with the first frequency band combination to obtain a comparison result, which is used to indicate whether the target frequency band combination exists in the first frequency band combination.

[0070] The process of configuring the first frequency band combination may be: the terminal obtains an ENDC frequency band combination that supports the ENDC capability, adds a measurement flag bit to the ENDC frequency band combination, and determines the ENDC frequency band combination with the added measurement flag bit as the first frequency band combination.

[0071] In another possible implementation, a second frequency band combination is configured in the terminal in advance, and the second frequency band combination is the same as the frequency band combination supporting DSDA; accordingly, the terminal compares the target frequency band combination with the frequency band combination in the measurement capability table, and the step of obtaining the comparison result may be: the terminal compares the target frequency band combination with the second frequency band combination to obtain a comparison result, and the comparison result is used to characterize whether the target frequency band combination exists in the second frequency band combination.

[0072] The second frequency band combination can be configured in the CDF of the communication chip in the terminal. The communication chip can be an MTK or Qualcomm chip. In one possible implementation, a measurement flag bit is added to the frequency band combination of the DSDA. When the second frequency band combination includes the measurement flag bit, the target frequency band combination is compared with the second frequency band combination to obtain a comparison result.

[0073] In another possible implementation, the process of configuring the second frequency band combination may be: the terminal obtains a frequency band combination that supports DSDA, adds a measurement flag bit to the frequency band combination that supports DSDA, and determines the DSDA frequency band combination with the added measurement flag bit as the second frequency band combination.

[0074] For any DSDA frequency band combination, a measurement flag is added to the DSDA frequency band combination. The measurement flag not only indicates that the two subscriber identity modules (SIM) of the terminal can support the DSDA frequency band combination, but also supports measurement of the two frequency bands in the DSDA frequency band combination; for example, the two frequency bands included in the DSDA frequency band combination are the LTE band and the NR band, respectively, the terminal can support measurement of the LTE band and the NR band.

[0075] In another possible implementation, a third frequency band combination is configured in the terminal in advance; accordingly, the terminal compares the target frequency band combination with the frequency band combination in the measurement capability table, and the step of obtaining a comparison result may be: the terminal compares the target frequency band combination with the third frequency band combination to obtain a comparison result, and the comparison result is used to characterize whether the target frequency band combination exists in the third frequency band combination.

[0076] It should be noted that since the first and second frequency band combinations are determined based on the ENDC frequency band combination and the DSDA frequency band combination, a measurement flag bit needs to be added to the ENDC frequency band combination and the DSDA frequency band combination to distinguish them from the ENDC frequency band combination and the DSDA frequency band combination. The third frequency band combination is configured later and was not previously in the terminal. Therefore, the third frequency band combination will not be confused with other frequency band combinations in the terminal; therefore, the measurement flag bit does not need to be added to the third frequency band combination.

[0077] For example, please refer to Figure 6 The data service adds the ENDC band combination to the CDF and adds a measurement flag to the ENDC band combination to obtain a first band combination. The data service adds the DSDA band combination to the CDF and adds a measurement flag to the DSDA band combination to obtain a second band combination. A third band combination is added. The processing service determines whether the terminal satisfies the SA ONLY + target band combination in the measurement capability table (the first band combination, the second band combination, and the third band combination). If the terminal satisfies the SA ONLY + target band combination in the measurement capability table, it performs gapless measurement on the neighboring cell.

[0078] Step 405: The terminal determines a first measurement method based on the comparison result.

[0079] When the comparison result is used to characterize the presence of the target frequency band combination in the measurement capability table, it is determined that the first measurement mode is gapless measurement; when the comparison result is used to characterize the absence of the target frequency band combination in the measurement capability table, it is determined that the first measurement mode is adaptive gap measurement. Adaptive gap measurement means disconnecting the network connection of the serving cell when measuring the neighboring cell.

[0080] When the measurement capability table includes at least one of the first frequency band combination, the second frequency band combination, and the third frequency band combination, and when the target frequency band combination exists in the first frequency band combination, the terminal determines that the first measurement mode is gapless measurement; when the target frequency band combination exists in the second frequency band combination, the terminal determines that the first measurement mode is gapless measurement; and when the target frequency band combination exists in the third frequency band combination, the terminal determines that the first measurement mode is gapless measurement. If the target frequency band combination does not exist in any of the first frequency band combination, the second frequency band combination, and the third frequency band combination, the terminal determines that the first measurement mode is adaptive gap measurement.

[0081] When the first measurement mode is gapless measurement, step 406 is executed; when the first measurement mode is adaptive gap measurement, the terminal periodically disconnects the network connection of the serving cell and measures the neighboring cell during the time period corresponding to the disconnection of the network connection of the serving cell.

[0082] In a possible implementation, when a measurement flag is added to the frequency band combination in the measurement capability table, the terminal may determine the first measurement mode based on the comparison result: when the comparison result is used to indicate that the target frequency band combination exists in the measurement capability table, determine whether the target frequency band combination in the measurement capability table includes the measurement flag; when the target frequency band combination in the measurement capability table includes the measurement flag, determine that the first measurement mode is gapless measurement; when the comparison result is used to indicate that the target frequency band combination does not exist in the measurement capability table or the target frequency band combination in the measurement capability table does not include the measurement flag, determine that the first measurement mode is adaptive gap measurement.

[0083] Since the measurement capability table includes at least one of the first, second, and third frequency band combinations, and a measurement flag is added to the first, second, and third frequency band combinations, if the comparison result indicates that the target frequency band combination exists in the first frequency band combination, it is determined whether the first frequency band combination includes a measurement flag. If the first frequency band combination includes a measurement flag, it is determined that the first measurement mode is gapless measurement. If the first frequency band combination does not include a measurement flag, it is determined that the first measurement mode is adaptive gap measurement. If the comparison result indicates that the target frequency band combination exists in the second frequency band combination, it is determined whether the second frequency band combination includes a measurement flag. If the second frequency band combination includes a measurement flag, it is determined that the first measurement mode is gapless measurement. If the second frequency band combination does not include a measurement flag, it is determined that the first measurement mode is adaptive gap measurement. When the comparison result is used to characterize the presence of the target frequency band combination in the third frequency band combination, determine whether the third frequency band combination includes a measurement flag bit; when the third frequency band combination includes a measurement flag bit, determine that the first measurement method is gapless measurement; when the third frequency band combination does not include a measurement flag bit, determine that the first measurement method is adaptive gap measurement.

[0084] In one possible implementation, when the first measurement mode is adaptive gap measurement, the terminal may further re-determine the neighboring cell of the serving cell, and then determine the second frequency band of the re-determined neighboring cell, determine the target frequency band combination of the first frequency band and the re-determined second frequency band, and re-compare the target frequency band combination with the frequency band combination in the measurement capability table to obtain a comparison result; when the comparison result is used to characterize the presence of the re-determined target frequency band combination in the measurement capability table, determine that the first measurement mode is gapless measurement, and then perform gapless measurement on the neighboring cell; when the comparison result is used to characterize the absence of the re-determined target frequency band combination in the measurement capability table, redetermine the neighboring cell again until the target frequency band combination of the first frequency band and the re-determined second frequency band of the neighboring cell exists in the measurement capability table.

[0085] In another possible implementation, when the service cell accessed by the terminal is switched, the terminal determines the first frequency band of the switched service cell and the second frequency band of the neighboring cell of the switched service cell, compares the target frequency band combination of the first frequency band and the second frequency band with the frequency band combination in the measurement capability table, obtains a comparison result, and then determines the first measurement method based on the comparison result.

[0086] In an embodiment of the present application, by configuring at least one of the first frequency band combination, the second frequency band combination, and the third frequency band combination, the terminal can convert the measurement of at least one frequency band combination among the first frequency band combination, the second frequency band combination, and the third frequency band combination into a gapless measurement instead of an adaptive gap measurement, thereby avoiding the high latency problem caused by the terminal disconnecting the network connection of the service cell within the measurement interval during the adaptive gap measurement, effectively reducing the measurement cycle and measurement duration of the heterogeneous system (communication system with different network standards), and improving the communication experience; especially the usage experience of low-latency applications such as games.

[0087] Step 406: When the first measurement mode is gapless measurement, the terminal performs gapless measurement on neighboring cells through multiple receiving channels and maintains the network connection with the serving cell.

[0088] The terminal can also determine the resource allocation of the first frequency band and the second frequency band in the radio frequency front end to confirm whether there is a resource conflict; if there is no resource conflict, it will perform gapless measurement on the neighboring cell.

[0089] A first receiving path and a second receiving path are determined from among multiple receiving paths, the first receiving path being used to receive data from a network device of a serving cell, and the second receiving path being used to receive data from a network device of a neighboring cell. When hardware resources of the first receiving path do not conflict with hardware resources of the second receiving path, seamless measurement of the neighboring cell is performed via the second receiving path, and network connectivity of the serving cell is maintained via the first receiving path.

[0090] The terminal performs seamless measurement of the neighboring cell, but does not register two frequency bands based on the ENDC capability; accordingly, the process can be: when the terminal does not support the ENDC capability and the measured network information of the neighboring cell meets the access conditions, the network connection of the serving cell is disconnected and the neighboring cell is accessed. The ENDC capability allows the terminal to access the serving cell and the neighboring cell at the same time.

[0091] The network information of the neighboring cell includes at least one of the signal quality of the neighboring cell, the signal strength of the neighboring cell, and the load size of the neighboring cell. The access condition includes at least one of the following: the signal quality of the neighboring cell is greater than a first preset quality, the signal strength of the neighboring cell is greater than a preset strength, or the load size of the neighboring cell is less than a preset load size. For example, when the signal quality of the neighboring cell is greater than the first preset quality, the terminal determines that the network information of the neighboring cell meets the access condition; or when the signal strength of the neighboring cell is greater than a preset strength, the terminal determines that the network information of the neighboring cell meets the access condition; or when the load size of the neighboring cell is less than a preset load size, the terminal determines that the network information of the neighboring cell meets the access condition.

[0092] For example, continue to refer to Figure 5 The terminal determines whether the target frequency band combination (the frequency band combination of the first frequency band and the second frequency band) exists in the frequency band combination of ENDC configured by the CDF (the first frequency band combination), and whether the frequency band combination of ENDC contains a measurement flag bit; if the target frequency band combination exists in the frequency band combination of ENDC configured by the CDF and contains the measurement flag bit, the terminal determines that the first measurement mode is gapless measurement. If the target frequency band combination does not exist in the frequency band combination of ENDC configured by the CDF or does not contain the measurement flag bit, the terminal determines whether the target frequency band combination exists in the frequency band combination of DSDA configured by the CDF (the second frequency band combination), and whether the frequency band combination of DSDA contains a measurement flag bit; if the target frequency band combination exists in the frequency band combination of DSDA configured by the CDF and contains the measurement flag bit, the terminal determines that the first measurement mode is gapless measurement. When the target frequency band combination does not exist in the frequency band combination of the DSDA configured by the CDF or does not include a measurement flag bit, determine whether there is a target frequency band combination in the third frequency band combination and whether the third frequency band combination includes a measurement flag bit; when the target frequency band combination exists in the third frequency band combination and includes a measurement flag bit, determine that the first measurement mode is gapless measurement; when the target frequency band combination does not exist in the third frequency band combination or does not include a measurement flag bit, determine that the first measurement mode is adaptive gap measurement.

[0093] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal performs gapless measurement on the neighboring cell, but ultimately does not register the serving cell and the neighboring cell at the same time, thereby avoiding disconnection of the serving cell's network connection within the measurement duration of the adaptive gap, resulting in the terminal having no signal and causing delays and freezes.

[0094] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal does not have ENDC capability, which means that the terminal cannot connect to two network devices at the same time, that is, the terminal cannot access two cells at the same time; however, as long as the terminal has multiple receiving channels, the terminal supports gapless measurement. Therefore, a measurement capability table is configured for a terminal that does not have ENDC capability and has multiple receiving channels, and the measurement capability table includes a frequency band combination that supports gapless measurement; when neighboring cell measurement is required, the first frequency band of the serving cell and the second frequency band of the neighboring cell are matched with the measurement capability table to determine the first measurement method of the neighboring cell of the terminal. When the first measurement method is gapless measurement, gapless measurement is performed on the neighboring cell. When gapless measurement is performed on the neighboring cell, the network connection of the serving cell will not be disconnected. Therefore, the phenomenon of terminal jamming will be reduced, thereby improving the communication quality of the terminal.

[0095] Please refer to Figure 7 , which shows a flowchart of a neighboring cell measurement method for a terminal provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method may include the following steps:

[0096] Step 701: The terminal determines a first frequency band of a serving cell and a second frequency band of a neighboring cell.

[0097] In some embodiments, this step is the same as step 301; alternatively, this step can be implemented through the above steps 401-403, which will not be repeated here.

[0098] Step 702: When the application running in the foreground is a target application, the terminal determines a first measurement mode of the terminal based on the first frequency band, the second frequency band and the measurement capability table, and the allowed delay of the target application is less than a preset duration.

[0099] The target application may be a game application or a video player application, etc. The terminal determines the first measurement mode of the terminal based on the first frequency band, the second frequency band and the measurement capability table through the above steps 404-405, which will not be repeated here.

[0100] Step 703: When the first measurement mode is gapless measurement, the terminal performs gapless measurement on neighboring cells through multiple receiving channels and maintains the network connection with the serving cell.

[0101] When the application running in the foreground of the terminal changes, that is, when the application running in the foreground switches from a target application to a non-target application, the terminal may perform adaptive gap measurement on the neighboring cell.

[0102] For example, see Figure 8 , the ENDC frequency band combination of B5+N78 is configured in the CDF of the SA ONLY terminal, and a measurement flag is added to the ENDC frequency band combination of B5+N78. When the terminal determines that the first frequency band of the serving cell is B5 and the second frequency band of the neighboring cell is N78, and B5+N78 is the configured ENDC frequency band combination and contains the measurement flag, the terminal performs gapless measurement on N78. Among them, the measurement capability table can be configured by the manufacturer, then Figure 8 It is the gaming interface of the terminal used by the manufacturer.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, by optimizing the terminal's delay, the problem of terminal freezing due to high delay is solved, and the user experience in the game scene is improved. For example, please refer to Figure 9 , through the solution of related technology, the terminal needs to perform adaptive gap measurement on N78, which causes the terminal to freeze; while the method provided by the embodiment of the present application can perform gapless measurement on N78, thereby improving the fluency of the game. Figure 9 It is the game interface of the terminal used by the user.

[0104] In an embodiment of the present application, when the application running in the foreground of the terminal is a game application, a measurement capability table is configured for the terminal, and the measurement capability table includes a frequency band combination that supports gapless measurement; when neighboring cell measurement is required, the first frequency band of the serving cell and the second frequency band of the neighboring cell are matched with the measurement capability table to determine the first measurement mode of the neighboring cell of the terminal. When the first measurement mode is gapless measurement, gapless measurement is performed on the neighboring cell. When gapless measurement is performed on the neighboring cell, the network connection of the serving cell will not be disconnected. Therefore, the phenomenon of terminal freezing in the game application is reduced, thereby improving the user's gaming experience.
